Keeping a Cool Head

Keeping cool in the summer Is
pretty much matter Of keeping
cool-headed. If you get hot-headed
or hot under the collar In any
sense--you will probably feel warm
yourself. And conversely, IL your
head and hair feel cool, you'll have
a good start towards being COM
Portable all over.
Rule No. for keeping cool head
is to have your hair clean as q
whistle. That means weekly wash
ing In the summer. To help you,
there's fine cream shampoo that
reduces the bother to q minimum.
1t comes in handy cold cream
like jar to eliminate the nuisance
of spilling liquid and the like. AL
you do is wet your hair, dip fingers
into the jar for small amount OF
cream and rub 1t well into the hair
and scalp, massaging to make q
rich lather. You'll be amazed at
how much lather you can get out
of small amount of cream. There
are those who say one thorough
lathering does the trick, but we're
one who likes hair clean enough 10
squeak-and q clear second rinse
water to convince us. It may be
the lanolin involved which not only
helps the cleansing process but pro-
tects your pretty tresses at the same
time, but the result Of your efforts
will be a head of lustrous shining
hair-full Of life, yet manageable
And II this sounds like q rave, we
meant 1t that way. We liked this
cream shampoo and found it as
easy to use as anything we've ever
tried.
Aside from weekly washing, daily
brushing Is necessary to cool head
Brush, brush your hair to a burnish
keeping the brush close to your
scalp to wake it up. You'll be de-
lighted at the life, luster and looks
of your hair, after few bouts with
the brush.
Once your mop is immaculate
the next problem is a cool coiffure
and this season comfort and fashion
go hand in hand. The day of the
long flowing name, the binding
lock-in-one-eye effect, tousled
thatch and puffy pompadour is out
For both comfort and chic this sum-
mer you want q small, neat, tidy
head. II the style IS becoming, you
might try a feather cut, than which
there Is nothing cooler, prettier OF
more youthful. It's especially be-
coming II you have q small, thin
face. And one OF its biggest ad-
vantages is that It's so easy to

the half hats and headbands youIl
be wearing to top your tresses this
summer. Another short cut to chic
involves parting your hair down
the center back with the hair on
each side combed upward into soft
ness, the neat back line held with
q comb behind each ear.
II you want to keep your tresses
longer, wear a chignon or net. For
hair that isn't particularly thick.
you can create the Illusion of a
luxuriant growth by fiufling the hair
from the ends up toward your scalp
(mother used to call it steasing')
and then net or twist it into a
chignon, The effect will be fine,
neat and cool. Summing up, we

them the sole objectives of your ex-
istence and feel that everything else
is cinders, ashes and dust if you do
not get them, then you are laying
yourself open to the cruelest blows
of fate. For many women cannot
marry and many more marry the
husbands who break their hearts.
So watch your hearts, little girls,
and keep them geared down to low
speed. For while love and marriage
may be the meringue on the lemon
pie of life there is lots of good, rich,
tasty filling below it. And as long
as you can make your own happi-
ness nobody can make you mis-

VEGETABLE STOCK;
BURN TREATMENT.

f1hdnkS 10 Mrs. r. G., W1Shington.)
I waited long time to add my
words of thanks and praise to the
Clearing House, but better late than
never. I know that it has proven so
helpful to so many housewives, as
we'll as practical to beginners, that
when once one has found the many
good points, it is as important to
look through as duty!
I am known as good cook with
80 years of experience, but must
admit that have learned quite a
bit, for love to try anything new.
For the lady who asks about using
vegetable stock, I can say that I
found uses for all of them. I see
that the vegetables are cooked in as
little water as possible and for as
short time as possible. Whatever
they are, I save them for soups,
sauces and most I serve as vege-
table cocktail which is so appetizing
in hot weather. I mix 2 or 8 kinds,
add a little tomato juice or dissolve
spoonful of dehydrated tomato.
just before serving I chop fine
fresh parsley, onion top, spinach
leaves and put it in the glass. If
have no celery juice, I put some
celery salt, season, stir and serve.
One never gets tired of it, for one
can mix the juice according to taste.
One little helpful hint which I
would like to add. eSDecially pood
for the beginners, is quick and fine
relief In case of slight burn while
cooking. At once cut through raw
potato, rub well on the burn: If
necessary, cut slice off and do
it over. In a few hours the mark
will have almost gone and never
form watery blister.
Evening star., 1944-05-30
Thanks to Mrs. S. G. B.,
Wnshfnof011

I have used vegetable stock In
many ways. Cook the spinach in
more water than you usually do,
pour the juice of and while hot.
II you have any celery leaves, drop
them in, when cool strain and put
in the ice box and use as a cocktail.
Or, I take the vegetable stock and
put plain gelatin in it, add leftover
meats (meat of any kind, like
pressed chicken. With a dessert
this is nice meal.

We use fresh coconuts per cake.
Sorry the directions for frosting

the way 7 got them. However, I
use a good tablespoon of cornstarch

sugar in the filling. For the FROST
ing, I simply add the sugar until
frosting is the proper consistency
for spreading. I've also tried this
cake using boiled frosting and find
1t delicious.

JURY DECIDING|
STRUCK CASE.
Falls to Reach Verdict
After TwO-HOur COnsid.
GRAFTON of Evidence

After celebrating more than two
hours on the $4,000 Cheshire road
bus-truck collision suit, a superior
court jury at / o'clock today was
excused for q lunch recess and or
dered to report back at 2 o'clock
for resumption OF deliberations.
The jury heard testimony on
claims made by Mrs. Cecile Des-
chesnes Of Waterbury against the
Elm City Filling Stations, Inc, Of
New Haven and the Colonial Beacon
Oil company Of Massachusetts as a
result Of the disastrous accident Of
last September 10. The plaintiffs
husband, Louis Deschesnes, who was
driver Of the bus, died few hours
after the collision. The truck driv-
er was killed instantly and II bus
passengers were injured.
In submitting the case to the Jury
today Judge Edward j. Quinlan in
structed 1t to answer two written
interrogations which were prepared
by the counsel and approved by
him. The jury was asked to decide
whether or not the Elm City COM
pany was serving as an agent and
servant Of the other defendant
when 1t delivered oil to the Chase
Company in Waterbury, and also
to rule II the Elm City concern was
an independent contractor. The
special verdict will be one Of few
returned here in recent years.
The jury started its deliberations
at 10:56 a. m, after an alternate
juror was excused from service. One
other alternate, who had been Sc
lected, was impaneled into the
regular jury after trial opened when
one Of the original IL began Ill.
After seeking permission Of the
court the excused alternate re-
manned in the courthouse to be
present for return Of the verdict.
Closing arguments to the Jury
were presented yesterday morning
and yesterday afternoon. Attorney
William B. Fitzgerald made the
closing remarks for the plaintiff,
while Attorneys Harold c. v. Eagan
and Joseph Weiner of New Haven
spoke for the New Haven concern
Attorneys J. Warren Epson and
Lawrence Lewis gave the closing
arguments for the Colonial COM
pany. Attorney Philip Bernstein ap-
peared also for the plaintiff.
During the trial, which took three
weeks, % witnesses were called by
the plaintiff, II by the Elm City
company, and three by the Colonial
concern. Fourteen rebuttal wit
nesses testified for the plaintiff, and
three for the Elm City company.

COSTS RENTED
FOR TWO INMATES
One to Be Released From
Jail Immediately; Other
on August 5

Remission of costs was approved
by Superior Court Judge Edward j..
Quinlan today in two criminal cases
heard last fall by Judge John A.
Cornell. The two men involved ask
ed for the remissions so they could
leave New Haven County jail with
out the necessity Of staying over to
earn their costs.
Frank Santorbi, who was sentenc-
ed last Oct. 8 to one year in jail on
an indecent assault charge, will be
eligible for release Aug. 8 for good
behavior, Public Defender Edward
T. CarInody told the court.
The other man was Donald Lun-
kaitis who received a sentence Of
one year on q charge of theft from
person. The court was told the ac-
cused has been working for an ice
company through an arrangement
with the Jail, and that the concern
Is seriously in need of his services
and has position waiting for him.
He also was scheduled for release
on Aug. 8 for good behavior, but the
court approved a motion for inlme-
diate discharge.
The costs In the Santorbi case
were 5000 and in the other case,
$68.28.

1t. Louise M. Menzelle, a member
Of the Army Nurses Corp, and a
graduate of Leavenworth High
chool and former nurse at the Wa
terbury hospital, urged the enlist
ment by all available nurses In the
army corps. Stating that upon
seeing the silent suffering of the
wounded men Of this war, I feel
proud to be a part of their endeav-
ors'. 1t. Mennelle pointed out that
the army is trying to reach quota
this year, Of $4,000 nurses.
There is need for over 10000 reg
istered nurses to meet that goal.
Local Red Cross Units are serving
as recruiting agencies, providing
those who would seek commissions
with application blanks and other
information. All nurses in the Army
are commissioned as second lieu
tenants.
For women without nurse training
there is the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps
program under which women 1875
years Of age receive a 24.30 months
course under which they become
registered nurses. During the train
Ing period they receive food, cloth
ing, quarters, free tuition and a
monthly allowance. Only a high
school diploma is required.
