String beans will be more ten
der if you cut them twice length
wise before putting them on to
cook.
Additional flavor is given baked
beans by adding salt pork which
has first been ground fine and
fried to a delicate brown.
Less sugar will be needed if
pinch of salt is added to sour fruits
during the cooking period.
Hooks, eyes, and snaps are most
satisfactory when sewed on with
the buttonhole stitch.
Watering a garden in the eve
ming means less evaporation and
more moisture left in the ground.
When buying a hOusecOat, if you
choose a wrap-around model, be
sure it has good lap, sitting or
standing. Otherwise it will gap.
To protect the ends of hemp
rope and to prevent them from
fraying, wrap well with light but
strong Irvine and then dip the
bound ends in shellac.
Place a ball of Irvine in a Irvine
sack, cut small hole just above
the ball, thread the string through
the hole, then hang the sack on
the wall and the Irvine will be
handy when needed.
Most amateur gardeners water
their gardens too often and not
deeply enough. A good soaking
when the ground has become prac-
tically dry is the rule for best
results.

PACIFIC:
NeuU Guinea Victory

With the fall of Mubo, the big
japanese base of Salamaua in New
Guinea lay in peril of capture by
Australian and American forces OPP
Grating from all sides.
Mubo fell about two weeks after
the start of General Macarthur
Pacific offensive. American troops
had landed on Nassau bay to the
east of the town, and then marched
into the interior to cut off Japanese
forces from the rear and effect a
junction with the Australians. At
the same time, Allied soldiers at
tackled the enemy's main lines, and
thus, completely enveloped on all
sides, Mubo was overrun.
The Allied success at Mubo came
as American troops pressed closer
to the japanese air base of lMunda
on New Georgia island. Approach
ing the stronghold from the north
and east, doughboys worked eau
tiously through jungle foliage to gain
ground. Squeezed, the enemy
launched one counterattack, but
withdrew fire after being stopped.

FOREIGN DEBTS:
MEXICO, Canada Pay

An improvement in financial con-

Of the war was noted in the action

tons.
For the first time in years, Mex
leo resumed payment on Is issues
of national debt, excluding all rail-
road bonds except the Tehuantepec

including back interest.
Last December, the Mexican con-
gress ratified an agreement to pay
40 million dollars in settlement of
all u. S. claims except for expropri-
ated oil property.
Canada's improved financial con-
dition was reflected in its redemp-
ton and prior payment on 106 mil
lion dollars of bonds.

GREAT BRITAIN:
Discuss Postwar

Growing American seapower and
the administration of neutral colo
MES after the war were subjects of
lengthy discussion in Great Britain.
Laborite Emanuel Shinwen said
that the end of the war will find the
u. S. with a merchant marine of
80 million tons against Britain's 9
million tons. He proposed the or
ganization of an Anglo-American
board to regulate shipping in the
postwar world.
Refusing to be drawn out on the
subject, governm ent spokesman
contented themselves with the rev.
elation that American shipping had
spared Great Britain from famine
in 1941.
Emphasizing that Great Britain
intended to administer its own col
onies after the war, spokesman
So
onies would be administered by
mixed commissions consisting of
representatives from neighboring
territories and nations which have
financial interests involved.

CABINET:
FDR Restores Order

Hereafter, if any administrative
heads in Washington are in conflict
over fact or policy, they must re-
solve their differences quietly or
else turn in their designations. That,
in short, was the ultimatum Presi-
dent Roosevelt laid down after Hen
ry Wallace had charged Jesse Jones
with interfering with the operations
of the Board of Economic Warfare,
which Wallace headed. =
The President, solved the Wallace
Jones fracas by abolishing the BEW
and establishing the Office of Eco
nomic Warfare and then appointing
as its director Leo T. Crowley, alien
property custodian and chairman of
the Federal Deposit Insurance cor
poration.
The action relieved both Wallace
and Jones of direction in the gov
ernment's purchase of foreign ma
terials.. Previously: the two agen-
cies had shared in the program,
with the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, which Jones heads, sup
plying the funds for the buying.

the announcement that the invest

heavy shipments of hogs and sheep,
however, bolstered the overall meat
production.
OPA's plans for livestock ceilings
have been bitterly contested by con-
gressional farm spokesman, meat
packers and cattle raisers. Under
the present system CT setting whole
sale ceilings, small packers have
found difficulty operating since no
