PICKL1NG CUcUMBERs AND
ONIONS.
Thanks to Mrs. H. G. H.
Chepy Chase.)
In answer to Mrs. M. M. r., Upper
Marlboro. Nd, here are two tested
and tried recipes for picking cu-
cumbers and onions.
Bread and Butter Pickles; Six
cups vinegar, 2 teaspoons whole
cloves lin SACK, 3 teaspoons mus
tard seed, teaspoon dry mustard
IL teaspoons turmeric, S teaspoons
celery seed, 6 cups sugar. 4 cups
onions, 6 quarts cucumbers, u cup
salt.
Small cucumbers are best. Wash
and slice. If large, cut slices in half.
Same for onions.
Measure cucumbers and onions
after slicing. Soak in cold water
overnight. Drain.
Combine vinegar, sugar, spices
and salt. then bring to boil. Pour
over cucumbers and onions, and
let stand l hour. Then bring to a
boil and boil for about 3 minutes.
Pour in hot sterilized fruit jars and
seal at once. Makes about 10 pints.
Cucumber and Onion Pickle: Eight
pounds of small cucumbers, 4 pounds
white or yellow onions, S pounds
sugar, S cups vinegar. 2 tablespoons
turmeric powder, u teaspoon ground
cloves, 2 tablespoons mustard seed,
2 tablespoons celery seed, ! to 2
cups salt.
Wash cucumbers, but do not peel.
Slice thin. Slice onion thin and
mix. Put in large pan layers of
same with cracked ice or cubes. Let
stand hours.
Make sirup of other ingredients
and bring to boil. Drain cucum-
bers real well. Add them to sirup.
Bring them to a scald, but do not
boil. Pour in sterilized jars and
seal.
(Thanks to C. J. M, Mclean, VaJ
To the lady who inquired for a
recipe sfor picked onions. I have
such a recipe This recipe Is from
an old cook book called The Set
tlement Cook Book" We have used
this recipe many, many years and
find 1t fine, so here goes:
Picked Onions: Four quarts small
white onions, l cup salt, 2 quarts
Of vinegar. white or cider, 2 cups
sugar, = cup mixed pickle spices.
Peel onions under water, add salt
and let stand overnight. Place in
colander, pour plenty cold water
over to rinse and let drain. Tie
spices in thin Dag. Boil with sugar
and vinegar. Throw in onions, let
boil up and pour at once to over
flowing into alright bottles or jars.
White vinegar keeps onions nearly
white. Cider vinegar colors them
slightly, but We always preferred
cider vinegar for our own use. Hope
this will do the trick for you.
I read the Clearing House every
evening and enjoy it, Now let's have
. very fine kidney stew. love it.
Ill watch for it.

COTTAGE CHEESE;
TO SOUR MILK:
PARCHMENT SHADE?
Thanks to Mrs. M. McC.,

Wdshington.)
In answer to Mrs. j. S., Riverdale
Md, on how to make cottage cheese.
Use fresh clabber milk and place on
low flame, stir occasionally until
whey comes to the top. drain of
liquid and place in sieve to drain, or
she may pour boiling water into the
milk, stir we'll and let stand until
whey rises to the top and procede as
before, this latter method makes the
cheese much softer. The longer you
cook it the dryer the cheese. Add a
small amount of salt and fresh,
thick sour cream for dressing.
Milk should be kept at room
temperature for it to sour quickly or
a small amount of sour milk added
to the sweet will help. Milk that
sets very long before souring be-
comes strong and spoils the flavor
of the cheese. Pastuerized milk is
not so good for making cheese.
Cakes, mufnns, cookies, biscuits,
etc, made with sour milk and soda
instead of sweet milk and baking
powder are very good and much pre-
ferred by my family, these recipes
will be found in most all cook
books.
Now will some one help me-

lowing this policy of destruction and
looting in Italy now.
A leading Soviet economist. Eugene
Varga. has estimated that Allied claims
against the Axis in Europe will amount
to 10 times the Versailles figure. which
was SIG, 900. 600. 900. He said Russia
would expect her share not in money,
but largely in raw materials. machines
and machine tools. manufactured
goods and agricultural products.
He suggested that reparations should
include German labor, brought in to
restore cities. bridges, railways and
plants Russia alone could use four to
five million such workers. He claimed
that full restoration of property de-
stroyed by the Nazis in Russia would
require the equivalent of the labor of
10000, 900 Germans working "a hours

CORVETTE K-225." Universal Pictures
PRODUCTION starring Randolph Scott and
Ella Raines. produced by Howard Hawks.

Evening star., 1944-01-21
The Cast:

the excitement of this scene In an
other in which the K-225 comes to
grips with those torpedo bombers in
a warmup for the big fight.
While the K-225 is making an
alluring heroine for the Capitol's
picture. the human actors carry out
their assignments with praiseworthy
competence. There is nothing to
quarrel with in SCOTS portrayal
|of hard-bitten naval lieutenant,
in young Browns mimicry of an en-
sign who almost breaks under the
chiefs heartlessness, nor in Andy
Devine's imitation of gigantic buf-
foon in the engine room who set
ties down to being a very serious
fellow when there's lot of stoking
to be done.
Universal has given Corvette
K-225" that quality of production
which one has learned to expect
OF a Hawks picture, which means
that 1t is a handsome thing to
look at.
Smiley Burnette, known to all
lovers of horse opera and the great
open spaces as the partner of Gene
Autrey, headlines this weeks stage
show at the Capitol. He brings to
it not merely the smell of the sage
brush country and the appearance
OF a man completely at home on
a horse but also a voice that is
perfectly suited to the mournful
music of the lone prairieeeeeeee.

IIle OdplIOl 1ncaCer, with SUCH
bellicose crew members as Randolph
Scott, Barry Fitzgerald and James
Brown. In spite of the fact that it
bears a strong family resemblance to
several other screen dramas that you
have seen, there is a sufficiency of
violence and realism in Corvette
K-225" to keep your attention right
where Mr.. Hawks wants it-on his
picture To that end, he has made
1t with an almost documentary
starkness, and with only the most
passing of bows to the Hollywood
legend that there must be a girl in
at least one port in such tale. The
girl Is Ella Raines, but Mr.. Scott
has little time for her, what with
his much more dramatic concern
for submarines and Stukas.
The screenplay by 1t. John Rhodes
Sturdy, R. G. N. sounds like some
thing that might have been taken
out of the mouths of Corvette
crew or from the log book of one of
the Canadian lightweight sea scrap
pers. 1t follows the K-225 from the
day her keel is laid until she limps
proudly into an English port after a
couple of tempestuous sluggings with
the pride of the Lutfwaffe and the
mightiest of the Nazi submarine
raiders. BY way of minor adven-
lures, 1t. Sturdy pits the K-225
against an Atlantic storm of such
fury that you wonder how such a
small boat ever survived to get in its
knockout punches against its Nazi
opponents.
AS in Air Force" last year,
Hawks latest picture tells the story
Of a fighting instrument. only Incl
dentally that of those who operate
1t. That works out as pretty smart
Idea once again for it makes rather
Scott and his fellow sailors look
precisely like almost any group in
blue uniforms.
The one notable exception to this
rule of standardization is an old
sea dog played by Barry Fitzgerald,
VIII AiAchCS
out of his yearning to stay in the
service in spite of the fact that time
has virtually covered him with bar
nacles. In proving that he is the
best corvette sailor in the business
In spite of his age. he also proves
that he can make more out of a
small part than any other actor in
Hollywood.
The recent statistics on the
diminution of the submarine menace
are effectively illustrated in the cl-
mactic scene of Corvette K-225." 1t
shows that the light, fast surface
craft which Canada created as body
guard for its conveys is not only ca
pable of dumping fatal numbers of |
depth charges on subsea raiders, but 1
is also finely equipped to polish them
off with deck armament should the
enemy decide to fight it out gun for
gun on the surface. AS his public
learned long ago in "Hell's Angels"
Mr.. Hawks ever was man to get the
most out of spectacular incident.
He does it again in one of the tough
est, toughest running battles the
movies have come upon in this war.
And his picture Is only bit behind
