JOINT TAXI RIDING.

Thanks to Miss E. S., Washington J
I don't agree with the Clearing
House reader who wrote In the
other day and said that she always
encountered grouchy men when she
hailed an occupied taxi going in
her direction. That hasn't been my
experience at all. On the contrary,
I've got to the point where rather
dread the necessity of getting into
a cab in which male has been
riding in lonely state.
And that is because, no matter
how quiet I am, no matter how I
gaze out of the window-inevitably
the conversation starts-and usually
just as inevitable-the invitation
comes to stop off and get a drink
somewhere. Why must men insist
on making overtures to the hapless
girls wartime has forced into riding
with them? And in this supposedly
busy town, how does it happen that
so many of these wise guys riding
the taxis have ample time to stop
of for drink" when they have OBJ
viously taken the cab to get to

Consider the Egg
By the Ticfory Chef

No article Of food can compare
With the accommodating egg when
It comes to providing the essential
element Of q meat substitute entree.
Here is food value. Here Is endless
to create variety. Here
are vitamins. including the impor-
tant 3D." and In goodly proportions.
And here, too. Is simplicity which
makes for speedy preparation. Even
with the price Of eggs at present
day high levels, two eggs made into
. serving cost less than most Of the
desired meats. If We would heap up
advantages Of the egg. there i this,
too-it can take up and use large
or small bits Of Just about every
imaginable leftover. Here. though,
may We concern ourselves with eggs
As tho principal item in dinner
dishes.
First Of all, here Is . grand dinner
dish for the youngsters: For each
small boy or girl, have one baked
potato. Slit OF the top. Scoop out
the inside. Mash and mix with
butter and pepper and salt. Re-
place half Of this mixture in the
boat" you have made.
Now break an egg, one for each
potato, and place 1t on the bottom
Of the boat" resting on the potato.
Cover with . little cream sauce,
sprinkle over with grated cheese,
dot with q few bits OF butter and
bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
With any vegetable of the green
or yellow kind, nothing more is
needed than q glass of milk and
some fruit.
And since when have you served
egg benedict for dinner? This is
one Of the great aristocrats Of egg
dishes and yet quickly and simply
made. First OF all, make enough
Hollandaise sauce to allow a table
spoonful for each serving. GA Hol-
landaise made Of two tablespoons OF
butter or margarine and two egg
yolks with a tablespoonful Of lemon
juice and salt to taste will make
the sauce for four portionsD
Now, make a piece of fresh toast
or toast half an English muffin for
each portion. Poach an egg and
broil a piece Of thinly sliced ham OF
Canadian bacon to cover each piece
Of toast. On the toast, we place the
slice Of ham, on the ham comes the
egg. On top Of the egg. the touch
OF Hollandaise. To decorate, we can
garnish with a bit OF mushroom OF
a ripe olive. though the authentic
topping is slice of truffle which we
probably can't get and don't really
need. And "for a dash of red" a
shake from the can of paprika add.
the final touch. This is a truly
great dish and calls for a. serving OF
mixed cooked vegetable salad-all
the left over vegetables such as po-
tatoes, beans, peas and beets-
touched up with a little minced
onion and parsley and dressed with
French or mayonnaise dressing.
An entire army Of great egg
dishes may be built up If you own
some individual shirred egg dishes

lotp, NTH many thanks to Mrs.
r. B. M. and S. L. H. OF Wash
tn0ton.)
From Mrs. r. B. NJ: I am 50 glad
I read your article. The flying
ants" with silver wings are not
termites-yet. They are flying about
looking for a nice dark. moist place
where they can crawl in and hatch.
When they do that and a fat white
ant appears that is the termite.
As you say, these flying ants" null
tiply at an alarming rate. I was
worried to death with them last
year and tried everything. Finally
I bought q can of a special prepara-
tion at drugstore and sprinkled
that around generously. This not
only kills them, but prevents others
from coming. have handed the
remedy on to number Of my
friends and they have all agreed
that 1t is a most marvellous thing
1t is very poisonous white pow
der and should not be put around
where 1t could endanger the lives
Of pets. You will have to sign for
1t at the drug store.
These flying ants" can DO no
harm as long as they are flying
so keep 'em flying!
And from S. L. H.: In answer to
the anonymous reader querying
about getting rid of understanding
they are not termites. which they
do sound like-1 got rid OF ants in
my kitchen inside Of a few days
and also in my cellar 0ess rapidly
Those came in on a load of wood,
including some flying ants. I used a
special product on sale at 4 hard
ware store which is supposed to
wipe out the nest when the ants
carry 1t home. Being q poison. 1t
cannot be used anywhere that chill
dren or pets would be apt to eat
any of it.

You may read that there Is q
surplus Of beef-or that acres Of
beans have been plowed under IN
nearby counties. You are told that
farmers are raising tremendous
numbers OF chickens. You know
that this Is the season for berries
and fresh green vegetables-new-
plucked from nearby gardens. But
YOU don't hnd them when you 60
a-marketing. Why?
Well, 1t seems to be q matter of
labor down on the farm and trans
portation from farm to city and
distribution to your corner store.
Dealers think they will have good
supplies Of . certain commodity for
weekend buying-and wham! along
comes transportation problem, or
. shortage Of people to pick crops,
or mysterious rerouting of produce
cars or trucks-and the hope goes
glimmering. Buying any kind OF
food these days, as all housekeepers
know. Is q hit-and-miss matter at
best and to assert loftily that such
and such will be available Is defying
the gods-and I don't mean maybe.
So all I can do Is to report what
I have found In the markets so far
this week and to predict-timidly
and with a dozen reservations
what you MAY find available for
your weekend buying, IF all con-
ditions run according to Hoyle and
no bitches occur. Which is too
much for any one to expect these
days!
As far as meats are concerned, it's
really anybody's guess. Your corner
store or nearby market may be well
stocked with choice cuts-or it may
have little to offer beside some
smoked meats and a cut or two Of
fresh pork, which by the way will
be bit scarcer this week end than
It was last. There is some lamb,
beef and veal available in various

Fruit Salads
For Summer

All OF the lovely fresh fruits
in the market remind us that nu-
triton authorities recommend at
least one serving of fresh fruit
day to maintain good health and
physical fitness. There are many
ways to include fresh fruits in
daily menus, but one of the SIM
plest and most popular is the
salad way.
Even men enjoy fruit salads
providing they aren't too loaded
with greens, uncomplimentarily
called bunny food"
Fruit salads have taste appeal
because such interesting color
schemes may be worked out, and
we do eat largely with our eyes!
Melons and cherries or berries
are a favorite combination. Be
sure to chill well before serving;
refreshing GOODNESS Is half the
Joy of eating q salad.
Sometime fruits seem just a
little light without substance or
staying quality. and here is just
the remedy for that: Include q
generous amount of blanched
sliced almonds.

OVEN CANNING.
Thanks to Mrs. T. S. N,
WdshtngtonJ
In answer to Mrs. E. L. B, on oven
canning 7 am quoting from my
Kerr book.
The oven (if correctly regulate6
may be used for processing fruits
and tomatoes They are acid foods
and can be canned safely at boiling
temperatures and the texture, color
and favor OF the finished product
are better. We do not recommend
the oven for processing vegetables
and meats. A pressure cooker IS
recommended for processing vege-
tables, meats and non-acid foods.
.Eouipment-Oven with automatic
heat control.
Prepare product and proceed ac-
cording to method for hot and cold
pack canning.
Set jars on rack at least 2 inches
apart in cold oven. If processing
second batch Immediately. 1t Is not
necessary to cool oven. Jars should
not touch sides Of oven.
Light oven (or If using an electric
oven, turn on switch, using lower
unit only, set regulator at $50 de-
grees. Start counting time when
oven is lighted or switch turned on.
(For second batch count time when
jars are placed In ovenD
Temperature should not exceed
$50 degrees. Higher temperature
will cause the liquid to boil too hard
and evaporate.
Process the required length OF
time for each vegetable.
Remove jars from oven. Do not
tighten screw bands. Set on surface
on which several thicknesses OF cloth
have been laid. Do not turn jars
upside down while cooling and seal
ing and do not screw bands down
after jars are cold and sealed. Do
not set hot jars In a draft.
Test for seal.
