WHAT'S COOKIN'?

Chefs Hints: The idea is now catch
ing on and being spread by the nutri-
tion experts that peanuts, abundant
in the South, are just as effective
cooked with other vegetables, or may
be properly served boiled and salted
as main vegetable.
And it's heard said, south of the
Mason-Dixon line, that green collards
and raw peanuts cooked together are
as pork is to beans.
There is no shortage of spices at
this time, but cautious use of those on
hand is urged so that there will be
enough for all for the duration. Ex-
pertinent with substitute fiavors to
spread our existing supply of avail
able spices and herbs. For example,
lemon and lime juice with little lem
on peel to replace vanilla. Brown
sugar, molasses or honey spiced with
the tiniest bit of ginger can be used
where once ginger and brown sugar
were extravagantly used. Onion, mus
tard seed, celery seed or celery salt,
smidge of garlic, each in its proper
proportion is substitute for the deli
cate bay leaf. Sage is another native
herb that can double for the bay leaf.
Get acquainted with recipes of our
allies, notably China and Russia
whose NATIVE dishes offer many sug-
gestions for delicious new favors not
dependent upon spices.
Tapioca and rice come to us only
after long journeys at sea. Spread
their use with other starches native
of America, as hominy, cornmeal,
sweet and irish potatoes, pumpkin and
squash. When spiced with raisins or
maple syrup many delicious puddings
may emerge from these starches. It's
fun to improvise while you are con-
serving foods.
Don't be discouraged if you can't
buy ice cream. Make your own. A cup
of ordinary cream will whip if table
spoon of lemon juice is added and it's
not noticed in ice cream Soak tea
spoon gelatin in one cup of milk.
Scald over low heat. Remove from
heat and add one-quarter cup sugar,
three tablespoons corn syrup, and one
eighth teaspoon salt. Blend well and
chill till thickened. Add the cup of
cream you've whipped by the addition
of the lemon juice and one-half tea
spoon vanilla. Pour into freezing tray
of refrigerator and freeze. Stir thor
oughly as soon as mixture is frozen
slightly around edges and again when
entire surface is frozen over.

Company Must Bargain
With Three AFL Unions

Washington, D. C.-The National
War Labor Board announced that it
had unanimously sustained a directive
order of the Sixth Regional War La
Dor Board directing the Austin Co. of
Chicago, H., to bargain collectively
with three AFL unions designated as

gineering firm currently building an

and Draftsmen's Union, Local GOA,
and the General Service Employees

plant under construction is vitality
needed for the war program, which
made imperative the speedy settle
ment Of the dispute.

Illinois JObless Drawing
Benefits Lowest on Record

Jobless workers covered by the Hi
nois e Unemployment Compensation
Act collected STAB ,945.50 in benefits

States Increase Ceilings
On Old Age Aid Payments

Chicago (ILNS) Old age assis-
tance recipients will receive larger
monthly checks in at least three states
as a result of laws passed this year
raising ceilings on grants, reports to
the American Public Welfare Associa-
tion show
Other states increased old age as
sistance appropriations to help those
aided meet increasing living costs.
Tennessee raised the Maximum
grant for aid to the needy aged from
$25 to $40, and Maine increased it
from $50 to $40, with the exact
amount to be determined on bud
getary basis"
Nevada, in amending it's old age
assistance act, defined the amount of
income reasonably necessary to sup
port each needy aged person" as $40
per month instead of the previous $50,
and specified that public assistance
plus income from any other source
should equal $40.

Milwaukee Electric Railway & Trans
port Company received wage in
creases of cents an hour at the direc-
tion of the National War Labor Board
in conformity with the Little Steel"

icy.

Electrical Workers, AFL, also re-
ceived the 9 cents an hour increase.
An agreement, in effect since 1888,

Keeping

By Mary Moore

than work in a factory. 1t includes
hundreds of unexciting jobs in stores,
restaurants, laundries, offices, schools,
hospitals, public institutions, trans
portation, communications, pub C
utilities and other necessary commun-
ity services. The day to day needs of
war workers and their families must
be met. The nation looks to it's women
to do the job. This is war work of
the utmost Importance, no matter
how ordinary or humble it may SEEM"
Women who fill these jobs will re-
lease men for the armed forces and
experienced women workers for more
skilled jobs. These women help keep
war production going by helping the
women who work in aircraft plants,
shipyards or munitions factories to
keep on their jobs.
SO no matter how unglamorous or
unexciting your job may be today, you
are doing your part by releasing a
more capable person for a more vital
job
Community leaders in all parts of
the country are concerned over condi-
tions affecting the health of teen-age
boys and girls" said Katherine F.
Lenroot, Chief of the Childrens
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor. "a large proportion of boys
and girls between the ages of Ia and
18 are trying to combine school and
work. When such activities do not
overtaX the youngsters strength, they
may serve a real purpose. But, thou
sands of boys and girls under 18 are
being permitted to work excessive
hours, often late at night, and at the
expense of success in their school
work"
Miss Lenroot called upon the people
in every community to renew their
efforts to promote the health of chill
dren in wartime in order that their
safety, health and normal growth may
be fully assured. She asked for con-
certed action on the part of health
authorities, schools and employers to
plan suitable part-time work and to
see that the combined hours of school
and work are not excessive.

far worse than in the depth of the
