We are all of us learning more and more how delicious and satis- flying fish is. Some of us have been fish lovers all along but the present voluntary rationing of meats is teaching some of us what the others realized all along.
 Most of us can get all the cod, haddock or halibut we want. Here is new way to prepare them that is sure to make a fish fan out of anybody.
 Mock SeallOps
 lih pounds of ? tablespoons of
 haddock Few grains of
 tarrason type Fine dry bread
 vinegar crumbs l cup of milk
 Cut the fish with a scissors into inch pieces and wash in the milk. Drain and let stand for about an hour in the oil which is mixed with the seasonings and the vinegar. Roll in bread crumbs, and put in a well oiled pan and bake for 10 minutes in moderately hot oven until brown. Take the milk and use it as a basis for a white sauce and serve the fish in that.
 Serve with roast potatoes and baked broccoli. These vegetables can be cooked in the same oven with the fish in order to conserve on heat.
 Are you the proud possessor of a ham you want to make into some thing very special? And fix it so that it will stay fresh and moist for long, long time?
 Baked Ham in Crust
 Soak and scrub the ham. Make . thick paste of rye flour and water and spread all over the ham. Set 1t on a rack in pan in the back of a hot oven in order to bake the paste and then lower the tempera- ture to moderately slow and bake for three or four hours. Make a hole in the top of the paste and pour in a cup of cider or some cooking wine every hour. Bake it for another hour if necessary. Now remove the crust intact and skin. Brush with the beaten yoll of egg, sprinkle with maple sugar and rye bread crumbs and brown. Save the crust to keep the ham moist while storing 1t after the meal is over. l|

Planning One Weeks Meals
 On The Meat Sharing Basis

With the government asking every adult person voluntarily to limit his meat consumption, home- makers are facing the problem of planning menus in accordance with this allowance.
 Jessie Alice Cline, home econo- mist, points out that 1t will be help- full to homemakers to bear in mind that only the muscle meats are in the shared group, and may be pur- chased on the basis of 2 i-2 pounds per week for every person over l2 years of age, l-2 pounds for chil- dren to 12, and 3-4 pound for children under 6 years of age.
 Additional quantities of the 1lo1l- rationed meats may be added to this share. These include the vari- ety meats such 8 silver, heart, tongue, sweetbreads, brains, kidney, tripe; and smoked jowl or bacon squares and oxtails.
 One weeks suggested meat order for family of four adults is as follows: Pork roast, 8 Ia pounds;

Soap and water-war water. are an oily skins best friends. Prop. CT soap, with Q good content of fat or oils, is necessary. The warm water is Q must"
 If your war plant lacks hot rll1- ming water in the dressing room, as many are reported to, then give your face Q thorough scrubbing at home. You just don't get your skin clean with cold water, and thor. ough cleaning which carries away the griHne and grease as well as excess oil on the skin surface is your best protection against blern" ishes and irritations.
 Tn cold weather, it's natural to be tempted to depend more on creams than on soap and water for keeping your skin soft and lovely. But the woman with oily skin should resist that--it,s not for you, and reInern- Der that soap and hot water won't hurt your skin, ever. Gritty ana abrasive cleaners will.
 Any light cleansing cream may be used occasionally, and quick liuuefying creams will be especially useful to you. But your standby cleansing method should be scrub ping. If you use brush, be sure that 1t is not too coarse and harsh. Many skin problems of women war workers arise from irritating and breaking the skin with harsh meth. odS and cold water.
 Rub your face gently-you can use your own palms if you like, and if your soap and water are right. You might like a mildly refreshing stim- ulant afterward, like watch hazel or any of the many good prepared fresheners.
 Wash your faces thoroughly at least once daily. If you have Q good brush which has Springy but soft bristles, hang onto 1t and take care of it,sfor this type is getting quite scarce. Give the bristles @ chance to dry after they're used, and never stand the brush on bristle ends.

bacon, 1-2 pound; beef pot-roast, 3 Ia pounds; lamb breast, 1-2 pounds: ground beef, 1 pound; beef soup (knuckle) bone; liver, l pound; and smoked jowl squares,' 1-2 pound. This gives a total of 10 pounds of the restricted meats and 1 1-2 of the unrestricted. This makes 1t possible to have meat in Il out of the weeks 2l meals.
 There are unlimited combinations of weekly meat orders which keep each family within It's allowance. For example, the order could in- clude the following: Veal outlets, 1 1-2 pounds; lamb neck slices, 2 pounds; short ribs, 1 1-2 pounds; sliced bacon, IA pounds; pork chops, 1 1-2 pounds; dried beef, IA pound; beef tongue and oxtails.
 Every homemaker should become familiar with all cuts and kinds of meat, be open-minded and willing to change menus if the planned meat cannot be purchased.

Rolled Pancakes

j. Teaspoon salt ] tablespoons E cup all-purpose shortening
 flour Powdered sugM Lemon slices
 Beat the eggs until thick and lemon colored. Beat in the salt and flour and gradually add the milk. Heat medium sized heavy frying pan in the oven; put in the shortening and rotate the pan SO that the bottom and sides are cov- cred with the melted fat. Now, pour in the batter. Now, return the pan to a very hot oven--400 degrees F. Bake for about twenty minutes and reduce the heat to $50 after the pancake has puffed up and is brown to the sides. Transfer to . hot platter, dust with pow dered sugar, roll up and serve with lemon slices.
 Baked Pears ',s
 Pare and core nicely-shaped fresh pears; fill the centers with brown sugar, raisins and nuts which do not need to be well mixed, but put in by pinches. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over all. Cover the bottom of the baking pan with water and put in the pears. Keep cover on for 45 minutes and serve when tender. A moderate oven will do the trick.
 Meringued Pears
 Pare and core the fresh pears. place them in a baking dish and fill the center of each with one tablespoon of sugar and little grated lemon rind or candied ginger. Add 8 or 4 tablespoons of water and bake until tender. Cover each half with Q meringue made with stitf,y beaten egg whites and sugar. Eown quickly.

 This will take care of the re- quests that have tripped in and asked for "tasty" way to serve stale bread. We'll, if you brush each slice of bread with melted butter or margarine and then line 8 greased bowl of the Casserole dish type with the bread and make sure that the pieces of bread it closely together. Then fill the center with any stewed fruit or with applesauce. Cover the top and bake in a hot oven for over a half hour until Drowned. Unmold and serve on . platter with Q flourish.

 Washington, Jan. i5-By the end of this year approximately 5000. 900 women will be employed in war inc dustries. according to manpower boss Paul V. McNutt. If you take the trouble to figure it out you'll find that's approximately 30 per cent of the workers in industry.
 By the end of ie4S it's expected that there'll be more gals than men employer in aircraft produc- ton. Here are some of the per- oentages of women employed in war work; 36 per cent in electrical machinery: 4s per cent in com- munications equipment: 34 per cent in scientific and technical ln- struments: and 35 per cent in small arms production.
 Part-Time Work
 The Civil Service Commission has Ecen authorized to employ part-tiIne women workers in gov. ernment agencies. However. that doesn't mean that thereIl De jobs open on a part-time basis in all cities. The government Will efil- ploy trained workers when they've exhausted the market for full-time employees. So If you live iii an oyer- crowded town and you want to work full time for three days a week or 6 half-day every day, apply at your local Civil Service Board or write d. rectly to the Civil Service CoEsmis- sion in Washington.
