Glorify your Christmas sweet
meats this year by presenting them
on a "Jujube Tree" This is one
way of making smaller tree and
fewer candies go long, long way.
We are in the habit of taking
Christmas candies for granted as
we have always had so much of
everything. However, nowadays
many of us will be making our own
With the time, the ingredients, and
the effort that candy and cookie
making demands the least we can
do is prepare a proper stage setting.
If you have never run across a
jujube tree brief description may
give you an idea or two. The shrub,
jujube, may be any one of several
varieties, most of which grow in
Europe. They all have an attrac-
tive green leaf and most of them an
edible plum fruit. Candies, of the
Turkish paste variety, called jujube

Mrs. L. K. E. asked for small roast
for two recipes. The American
Women's Cook Book has denoted
several pages to cooking for two.
This should interest Mrs. L. K. E.
For beef: Instead of large roast
Of beef, buy thick steak, roll, tie
and roast in very hot oven (450
to 500 degree) for short time. If
even this is too large a roast, cut out
the heart for roasting and keep the
rest for casserole dish. q suggest
Swiss roast)
For Lamb: Mutton and veal
roasts. Buy loin chops, as many as
you require. Have the bones sep
arated at the joints, but do not
have the meat cut through. Cook
as a standing roast.
Dried Beef combines we'll with
mushrooms or eggs. One can of
mush room soup may be substi-
tuted for cream sauce. Do not di-
lutte as for. soup, although a small
quantity of milk may be used to
thin to desired consistency.
Eggs a La Caracas: l tablespoon
fat, 4 pound drief beef, tablespoon
grated cheese, l cup tomatoes, salt
and pepper, 4 eggs, onion juice.
Melt the fat in a frying pan and
when hot, add the dried beef and
cheese. Toss lightly until beef is
slightly frizzled, add the tomatoes
seasonings and the eggs beaten until
light. Stir and cook gently until
of creamy consistency. (From

PAY BEFORE PATRIOTISM

War Production board officials tell
of a heavy snow-and-sleet storm that
blanketed Seattle and left the Boeing
Aircraft plant snowbound. unable
to operate for two days. By the end
of the week roads had been opened,
and Boeing broadcast a back-to-work
call.
Men came to the gates of the plant,
but stopped there. And they de-
clined to 60 further until they could
be assured of receiving time-and-a-
half pay for weekend work.
But you haven't put in 40 hours
this week." officials retorted.
The men stood their ground, how
ever, and Boeing officials telephoned
Washington for advice. They talked
with Madame Perkins, who ruled
that nothing should be allowed to
interfere with production and that
the men should be paid.

Red Cross officials agreed and the
visit went off without any fanfare.
Mrs. Roosevelt merely took. her
place in line with other blood donors,
rolled up her sleeve, had a pint
drawn from her arm, and went on
about her business.
Some weeks later, Red Cross Of
6cials were astounded to have Mrs.
Roosevelt appear at the blood bank
again. This time she had not tele-
phoned. but they felt their pledge Of
no publicity still held good. Once
again. the First Lady took her place
with other blood donors, and scarce.

did not do SO, and this column
