(kHEN the weather is cod we
w all indulge a yen for heavy food
and plenty Of it. But once in a
while why not break the plodding
routine Of meat, potatoes and hot
vegetables by Unexpectedly serving
salad as the main dish in a meal?
These days, OF course, green
salads accompany many of our
meals-aS they should. But that's
aot exactly the type suggested here.
A salad that's going to be main
course should be substantial,
filling sort of affair, made of meat,
chicken, eggs or other hearty food.
For example. the next time you
have roast chicken. on the second
day instead of serving it sliced
cold, fix it u0as a main dish salad.
1t makes a Sand tasting one.
You might perhaps begin the
meal with bowls of hot savory
vegetable soup to put everyone in
a happy mood. Then the salad! And
il it's made like this one, loud will
be the cheers from the family
Observe that is made of chicken
combined with avocado. Did you
know that avocado is one of our
most nutritious fruits? Well it is
because it is wonderfully rich in

Five years ago black-haired,
dark-eyed girl turned her back
on HOLLYWOOD and sWore she would
never return. 1t wasn't case OF
sour grapes She was determined
never to act again She even con-
vinced herself that she wasn't real
ly talented. She returned to her
native Europe. During the fighting
in Spain, she helped eVacuate ref
ugee children to the south of
France. When World War II broke
out, she devoted her whole time to
the United States Committee to Aid
European Children.
Finally she herself was evacuated
and returned to New York with
a shipload of refugees. Then, be-
cause she had once signed a con-
tract to appear in a summer theatcr
in the east, and had begged out CT
it, she agreed to guest-star in one
play as a personal favor to the pro-
ducer. For II nights the house was
packed and crowds we're turned
away.
And then Hollywood called again.
Paramount needed a European ac-
tress to play an important role in
the film, Hostages" Film tests
proved that the girl had not for
gotten how to act. The girl-the
girl who tried to convince herself
that she had no talent-the only
actress in Hollywood to ever win
two Academy awards for the best
performances of the year-Luise
Rainer.

COOKING NEWS

University of Southern California
and vice-chairman of the Los An

the departments research, results
Of which were published recently in
Science magazine.
The research work showed that
the thiamine content, the B-l fac

Minis, is preserved when soda is
added. The cooking time for frozen
peas is four minutes as compared
to six minutes when soda is not used,

for plain water cooking.
Fresh peas show similar COM

is shortened from l7-l8 minutes with
sodium bicarbonate added and the

The survey indicates a slightly
greater loss in food values if the
hulls of the peas have been rup-

SO per cent with fresh ones when
soda has been added.

LUCKY FAUX PAS

This is the story OF a pair of
white gloves-and how they turned
soldier into star. 1t happened
80 years ago in Vienna. He was
born and bred to the army-a grad
uate of the Austrian Military Acad-
emy-a member of Emperor Franz
JoSef's personal bodyguard. One
day the emperor was reviewing the
guard, famous for its resplendent
uniforms, white plumed hats and
white gloves. The young soldier hop
ed the emperor wouldn't notice
He'd lost his white gloves the night
previously. Unable to replace them
overnight, he purchased a pair of
cheap gloves and rubbed them in
white chalk to match the others.
The substitute gloves looked all
right but when the young soldier
saluted his emperor, and then shook
hands with him, as was the custom
both men we're all but enveloped
in a cloud of white chalk dust. 1t
was faux pas that was the talk
of Europe. The young soldier re-
signed from the emperor's body
guard in humiliation.
To forget his chagrin the former
guardsman spent his days going to
theaterS and music halls of Vienna
1t started him on a new career-a
theatrical career that eventually led
to Hollywood stardom. Today he's
making a screen comeback in a film
titled, Five Graves to Cairo" The

S+asser Hours OF
Women Workers
SAYS McNut+

WASHINGTON, March l5.-tUPD
War ManpoWer Chief Paul "
McNutt today was trying to per-
Suade employers to Stagger hours
of their women workers so as to
eliminate a major cause OF alb
senteeism-lack of time to do their
shopping.
He estimated that 100000 wom-
en- will be employed in all types of
jobs by the end of the year
6000,000 of them in war industries
During a radio interview last night
he said that hours must be stag
gered so that those women can
shop for food and perform count
less other errands connected with
household duties, and added:
With rationing, which, know
our women accept gladly in wal
time, it takes longer to plan and
buy"
simultaneously, the Office OF
War Information Issued an analy-
sis by the British government
which showed that major factor
in abSenteeism was the large per-
centage of women workers who
have arduous home duties and who
otherwise have found their family
lives diSorganiized.
The Owl said that its analysis OF
the British reports disclose that
management and workers them
selves can help most in eliminat-
ing voluntary absenteeism. 1t also
was disclosed mat the British gov
ernment had made an important
contribution by forcing a reduction
in working hours after it was
found that excessive hours led tc
considerable abSenteeism.
