Reply to Mrs. o. L. E.. Alexan-
dria"-her request for a method of
preparing fluffy" rice.
Directions should be followed ex-
actly-no short cuts:
l. Measure out the quantity of
rice grains to be cooked. 2. Place
them in large sieve Hold the sieve
under a cold water tap (best of all
one with spray nozzle) running at
high pressure. Work the rice grains
around with the hand so that the
water is driven through without
soaking. Wash in this fashion for at
least five minutes. Failure to wash
the rice grains very thoroughly Is
the main cause of sogginess after
cooking. g. Fill the largest sauce
pan-the bigger the better-with
we'll Salted water and bring 1t to a
furious boil 4. To the furiously
boiling water add the washed rice
grains a little at time. On no ac-
count let the water come of the
boil! 5. When the last of the rice
has been added to the boiling water
note the precise time then reduce
the flame so that the water contin-
ues to boil steadily but not furiously.
DO NOT STIR! 6. Exactly Is min
utes later pour off the water through
the sieve-thereby retaining the
cooked rice grains in the sieve. 7.
Place the sieve full of freshly cooked
rice grains under the cold water tap
and,give them one quick rinse-only
a second or so. 8. Shake up the rice
grains and leave in the sieve to
steam until ready to serve-which
should be promptly! 9. Putting
cooked rice fresh into the oven ito
dry will always produce a leathery
mass.

Dorothy Dix Says

DEAR MISS DIX: We are two
high school girls and we find that
the girls who get dates obtain them
by asking the boys. and as we are
too dignif1ed to do this we have no
ooy friends. Are boys too shy now to
ask girl for a date? Boys may
be scarce during the war, but we
do not feel that we should ask
them for dates unless 1t is compul-
sorry.
TWO DESPERATE GIRLS.
Answer-Boys are never too shy
to ask for what they want. and so
If you have no dates it is for some
reason other than their timidity.
Probably 1t Is because they have
been spoiled by the supply being
so scarce that they have passed into
the luxury class and they no longer
have to run after the girls, the
girls are chasing them.
In such cases the bold. aggressive
grabbers get theirs. while the modest
ones get left. And this is true OF
men as it is OF apples or anything

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
RUNNER.
(Cardnr crysos. J

The runner belongs to species
that Is very numerous in all warm
seas. Most Of the members Of this
group are highly valued as food.
Many know this fish as the hard
tail, and some call 1t the yellow
mackerel. Though 1t closely re-
sembles its cousin. the cavalla, In
size and arrangement of its fms, in
the deeply forked tail with its
slender peduncle and the row Of
bony shields along the posterior
half Of its lateral line, 1t is easy to
tell them apart once you memorize
the difference that is so apparent
to those who know. The runner Is
far slenderer, the dorsal profile of
its head Is not 30 conyexed and the
shields are more numerous (the
runner has about 45 and the cavalla
30. The cavalla has q beauty spot
on It's pectoral I'm.
During life the runner Is a beau
tiful olive green above and either
gold or silver below. There Is q
small black spot on the gill cover
near the margin. alsa 7,esa a3as
Runners vary in waisht.s Those
IN the South weigh as much af 10
pounds, those In the North about 3.
The beauty and gracefulness Of the
runner may be observed Is It chases
small schools Of fistl close to the
surface Of the water. Sometimes
schools Of runners have been seen
weaving In and out among wreckage.
As runners range the Atlantic
from Brazil to Cape Cod, they are
quite well known. Good -sised
runners have been rep0yted in the
Gull Of Maine. From Pf6vincetown,
in Boston Harbor, on Gloucester in
Ipswich Bay and from Nova Scotian
waters 1t is more likely to round
Cape Cod than is its cavalla cousin.
There are not enough runners in
the Cult for local fishermen to
know them well. The young fish
are more common about Woods Hole
and westward from July until late
November. They have bars on their
sides.
Runners are gamey fish. They
hold second place to their cavalla
cousin. Neither of the fish Is re-
garded as highly favored, but
anglers never dream of tossing then,
away.

HOME ACCIDENTS

Because home accidents that
killed 5000 workers last year seri-
ously impeded the war effort, the
Federal Security Agency endorses
these safety suggestions: Walk y
don't run, especially on stairways;
don't carry heavy loads on stair
ways; don't let children play on un-
protected stairways; don't let floors
become slippery or cluttered; never
leave soap in bathtub and use nom
skid mat to prevent slipping; keep
utensil handles turned away from
edge of stove; never touch an cleo
trio fixture and grounded metal
object at the same time; disconnect
electric appliances when not in use;
don't smoke in bed; keep pillows out
of babies beds; keep pins, needles
and sharp tools away from children;
keep garage doors open when start
ing car; and use short ladders in
stead of stools, chairs or boxes in
reaching for high places.

The Three Rs, Too

Servicemen, says Zanuck, have re-
f1ected willingness to accept en-
lightenment along with their enter
tainment; and while the poll is high
in favor of the pin-up type picture,
many significant films rank with
musicals in attendance. Back
grounds outside the United States
will be characteristic of many Of
our new films and the foreign star
will come back into favor.
"Our international casting aver
age will mount higher and higher
when the avenues of foreign talent,
shut out by wars, are opened again.
There should be no national bound
aries in art. There aren't any in
music, painting or sculpture. The
talent of the world should and must
be broughtsto our audiences.
This will not come as any jolt to
the people at home We're build
ing up a new audience here, too.
They know new names - places
they'd possibly never have heard of
if their sons hadn't been fighting
there. Many of them are buried
there. They'll want to know more
about St. Malo and Casino and
Chungking and Mitkyina = those
places are familiar household words
now"

way. l do not recall anything I
said, and am glad l cannot. How
ever, there was one redeeming fea-
ture about it and that was its brew
ity. In 20 mintes had told all that
1 knew, and perhaps more. / have
not tried that text since, and 1 do
not think I ever shall. It is too
profound to even think of as the
basis of discourse to common peo-
pie"
Bishop Weekley tells in his book
of an experience of DR.. J. L. Hans
ley. While preaching one Sabbath
in midsummer from the text, "The
seed of the woman shall bruise the
serpent's head" snake about two
feet long was observed crawling in
a crevace of the wall near the pull
pit. The preacher dispatched it
with a hickory cane.
The young preacher, Weekley,
was appointed to circuit rs miles
distant and to get there through the
mountains would require, owing to
the bad roads, two and half days
of hard travel on horseback. This
circuit contained seven appoint
ments - Romines Mills, Gnatty
Creek, Peck's Run, Indian Fork, Mt
Hebron, Green Briar and Zeb's
Creek. Crossing river he and horse
come near drowning. He was told
he would have to take the "outsid-
ers' for his support, as the circuit
only paid $500. For the year he
received $97, including an overcoat
and several pairs of yarn socks.
In early days the plug hat was
much worn by preachers. Bishop
Weekley traded for one with an ac-
quaintance. However, it was some
thing new around the mountains
and one day, the bishop relates, as
Ne passed some children one of
them piped out, Lord what hat"
On another occasion a man saluted
him with, How are you, hat?"
He married two couples during
his first year of preaching. One
man was well-to-do but handed the
minister 40 cents in "shinplasters,"
circulated in the days of the Civil
War and early sixties in the form of
5, 10, Is and so cent certificates.
While serving one district as pre-
siding elder, much of his travel had
to be done by boat on the Ohio and
Big Kanawha rivers. Only one of
his fields was touched by railroad
and that was 60 miles from where
he lived.
In filling an engagement he had
to go still further east some go
miles. Part of the journey he fol-
lowed a single train, popularity
known as "hog path" To get
there it seemed that he would have
to swim his horse across a danger
ously swollen stream. But some
boys helped him across with boat.
One of the boys SWAIN the horse
over.
Passing two young lads chopping
wood, the presiding elder thought
to have some fun. So he called,
refining up his horse. "Say, boys, can
you tell me how far it is to where l
want to go?" In an instant one of
the boys replied, eyes sir, three
lengths of a fool; get off and meas
ure."
The life of the early preacher who
itinerated through the wilds and
mountain fastness Of the country of
those days, was not without its
pleasures, even if hardships often
attended his path. 1t showed that
they were possessed of great zeal
to perform their work and helped
to lay the foundation of the Christ
ian Church in many places in years
to come. All hail to them!

the film of the future. There was
Zanuck pacing up and down his lush
office like Gagged tiger, swinging
a polo mallet to give greater
emphasis-and he was ready to give.
Here is what got
The overall picture of the postwar
cinema industry is radical one. 1t
has little in common with the indus
try we know today. Said Zanuck,
"The postwar film will be interna-
tional in scope. Picture-making in
our peacetime era will be a far diff
ferent thing than it is today. The
broadening scope of world vision
that comes with peace will bring
about the ascension of a great for
eign star. l would not be surprised
to see great Chinese actress be-
come dominant figure.
81 look to see our company, Twen-
tieth Century-Fox, open large stu
dio in foreign land-quite pos
slbly India-where pictures will be
aimed at world consumption al
though made basically for the East.
81 would have no hesitancy in
making motion picture with
love story between a typical Ameri-
can boy and a Chinese girl. The
same is true of a picture with a
high-type Indian and an American
girl.
Films for Freedom
''The reeducation of Germany will
center largely around its film in
dustry. Films were the instrument
most freely used to propaganda
the German people into Naziism.
Films should therefore be the most
powerful instrument used in their
reeducation.
II would personally like to have
the job of running the postwar Ger
man studios. l do not think this
should be done by government
agency. It should be done by motion
picture men. After all, we made our
product so popular abroad that die
tators banned our pictures in their
countries"
Well, with that for a starter (and
l maintain that's a good hunk for
anyone to chew on), let's cut back
to the psychology of today's soldier
as outlined by Zanuck. He said,
''War makes men think. There are
no drunken sprees from our re-
turned soldiers today. These boys,
transformed into men, have fought
in SO localities over every end and
corner of the world. They're world
wide in vision Geography isn't
something they learned out of a
book. They didn't have to find the
far-fung places of the world On
map-they've been there. The mo-
ton picture industry will have to
keep abreast of their way of think
ing if we want to continue in bust
ness"

church and presided at many con-
ferences, including Hagerstown.
His book deals with experiences
when he was a preacher in the
mountains of West Virginia, and his
experiences no doubt were the
same as many others who endured
hardships and dangers, which, when
read today, sound like fairy tales.
In this narrative we are only con-
cerned about the life of an timer
ant preacher, who travelled over
mountain passes and forded swollen
creeks and rivers at the great risk
of his life. And Bishop Weekdays
experiences often had their hui
morous side, too, as related by him
self.
Bishop Weekley writes: '"The his
torian will never tell all about
these pioneer preachers. Their la
bors, sacrifices and sufferings will
never be portrayed by any human
tongue, no matter how eloquent, or
by any pen, however versatile and
fruitful it may be. Footsore and
weary, dust covered and battle
SCARED, they reached the end of
their pilgrimage and heavens well
done'r'
In its physical aspects the country
over which these preachers rode on
horseback, and walked, was exceed
ingly rough and difficult to travel.
But Bishop Weekley said that the
people, mostly rural in their Gus
toms and mode of living, and many
of them poor, were warm-hearted,
genial and hospitable. When
preacher went to fill an appoint
ment among these mountain people
he was not troubled with the
thought that perhaps nobody would
offer him lodging, or willingly
share with him the bounties of the
table.
At times the house of Bishop
Weekdays parents was so crowded
that his mother was compelled to
make beds on the floor.
He preached his first sermon, or
rather, as he puts it, made his first
personal appearance, in little log
church on Flint Run. This is the
way the bishop describes his exper-
fence on this occasion: "a local
preacher was holding a meeting and
at the close of the morning service,
announced that / would preach at
