SWAY POT ROAST YIELDS
THRIFTY WARTIME MEALS

The American homemaker must
be more than thrifty these days.
With the rationing Of meat, sugar,
coffee and other foods 1t Is neces-
sary to learn ways to share Our
food supply. These include ex-
tending as well as conserving every
bit Of food available.
Meat is such an important food
in American diets that an effort
must be made to obtain the great
est possible food value from every
ounce we purchase. Good cookery
methods go q long way toward in
creasing the amount Of cooked
meat, for cooking too fast and too
much means greater loss in food
value.
Jessie Alice Cline, home econo-
mist, suggests that q 4-pound roast
or pot-roast can provide three
meals for q family Of four. Here Is
Just one example: serve the pot
roast itself for one meal, Meat and
Vegetable Pie for another, and
creamed meat as the third.
These recipes are for the prepa-
ration Of the three meat dishes pre-
pared from one meat cut.
Pot Roast
81 pounds blade or arm bone,
chuck or rump
Flour
Lard or drippings
Water
Salt and pepper
8 medium potatoes
8 whole onions
9 whole carrots
Season the meat with salt and
pepper and dredge with -four.
Brown on all sides In q small
amount Of the lard or drippings.
Add small amount Of water, not
more than Ia cup, cover closely and

YOURSELF
Ability 10 Converse
Interestingly Enhances
Charm and Can De n
Acquired
by ALICE HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

The ability to- make interesting
conversation Is one Of the strong
feminine charms which you may
come by naturally For can acquire.
Many hostesses are asking what
to talk about with service men on,
furlough, since you cannot talk
shop when the soldiers shop" Is
q military secret.
Well you can talk about anything
that genuinely interests you. It will
interest him II you tell It well. Every
hostess knows Rule One: don't talk
too much, but listen, too. just as
important: do tell some personal
experience once In a while. It will
give the visitor more Of q feeling Of
Eat homeness" than any bright fact
you can think UP.
If you're a poor storyteller and
want to improve, think 1t over and
try to follow the principles Of eff
fectiveness as q matter Of habit.
This will prevent your trying too
hard, self-consciously, when you
want to entertain your hearers.
Here's an example Of one effec.
tive storytelling principle:
A woman explorer bored some
soldiers with half hour Of jungle
talk--because not once did they
see a tanglewood growth nor hear
an animal cry. They only heard the
lady say how excited or frightened
she was at various points on the
world map. The same soldiers then
were fascinated by a half hour Of
factory talk-because the speaker
let them see anq hear the exact and
powrful claInpif1g together Of the.
hulking, hydraulic stamping presses,
the whirring drills and revolving
motors, the sights and sounds that
made industry exciting to him.
The idea Is that It's not how you
felt,N but what made you feel that
way that counts with your listener.
Don't just declare your reactions
say what 1t was that evoked them.
and you can bet your nearer will
feel the same way, and feel charmed
by your story.

bus, o. doc" is one Of the en-
thusiastic leaders Of bridge In
Columbus. He gets O real thrill out
Of unusual hands such as this one,
which he defended In the national
tournament at Syracuse.
After winning the first trick, DR..
Mark (East) led another spade,
forcing dummy to ruff with the
eight Of diamonds. The ace Of
trumps was cashed, and then the
declarer had the problem Of getting
into his own hand to continue TAX
ing out trumps. He therefore cashed
the ace Of clubs and led q second
round.
DR.. Mark, diagnosing the de.
clarer;s difficulties, played the king
Of clubs under\ the ace-the Des-
chappelles Coup. West won the Sec
ond club trick and in a response to
DR.. Marks play, he led the third
club.
Now you can see that either the
ten or the Jack Of diamonds Is
bound to win a trick and set the
contract.
