QUERIES?
TIME SAVERS.
(Fron,. Mrs. r. A. Rs Jr.


Washington
First, a word Of thanks for all the
help and fun the RICH has been
through two rather isolated years
in a strange city. And now some
requests.
Fruit Catsup?-If any one has the
recipe for a delicious unstrained
catsup my mother used to make,
please, please send it in. Remem-
/ bering that the rule started Take
80 tomatoes, peaches, 6 pears" I
have made it twice, guessing at the
other ingredients and have had fair
success, but I'd like to find the exact
procedure. 1t has the most mouth
watering aroma when cooking, and
is piquant addition to baked beans
and every sort of cold meat.
Fruit Rinds for the FIREPLACE
Who knows how to dry lemon, or
ange and grapefruit rinds to be used
in an open fire? Friends of mine
assure me that friends of theirs
do it, but it seems rather like the
Indian rope trick-I haven't seen it
done myself.
What Makes WaShcloths Harden?
Can this be prevented? I use a
small washer and dry them in sun
and wind, but they're all harsh to
use.
Time SayerS-I am rather fur
ried housekeeper, seems to me, with
two babies, no help, lots of enter
tanning to do, and sewing and read
ing always beckoning-so I make
out systems. My husband gets
good chuckle from the ones that
don't work, but appreciates the ones
that do save minutes. Here are two
that save minutes and temper:
Chop a weeks supply of peppers,
onions, parsley and carrots all at
once, keep in covered jar and use
as needed. You chop much more
efficiently, and wash that chopping
bowl just once.
| Keep an "ever-normal icebox."
Every party night I used to juggle
and jockey around everything in
the icebox to find room for those
carrot sticks or whatever. Now a
space is planned for beer, milk, ap-
petizers, the turntable for leftovers,
the salad and vegetable pans, pot
liquor jug and so on. and they are
kept there whether full or empty.
Try this and you'll never be left
to put the salad bowl on your head
or on the floor for lack of space
Prop up your account book right
next to the spot where you unload
your groceries. Half the gaps in
household accounting come from
being too busy to get the book out

And, from the heart, a word OF
moderation to beginners in house.

The law of diminishing returns sets
in early in housekeeping, and it's
often better for you and your hus-
band to take the shine off your nose

Report to the Housewife

Red Swiss chard Is a newcomer to
the vegetable stands in a few local
markets; it Is not to be found
everywhere, however, as it is raised
nearby, and only small quantity is
available. The tops of the leaves are
much like beet tops in appearance.
Acorn squash have made their first
bow OF the season, and there are a
few early cantaloupes coming in
from South Carolina. The peaches
from Georgia are still small and on
the sour side; they are good stewed,
however, and you may use honey or
corn sirup to sweeten them, thus
saving that sugar supply. Some
stores have a little maple sugar in
blocks on hand-this is delicious
shaved over stewed fruit. The sour
pie cherries that have been fairly
plentiful of late have been supple
mented at last by the big sweet
Bings from the West.
Watermelons are pretty good, al
though there are not too many of
them; mangoes are making their
appearance, and the sugar loaf pine
apples are sweet and aromatic.
Huckleberries and blueberries are
about, and gooseberries have started
to come in. (Again tart fruit that
yells for sweetening) Citrus fruits
are mostly coming from the West,
and the supplies of grapefruit and
oranges have been light. The grapes
from South America are not recon-
mended. Tomatoes, peas, snap beans,
white and yellow corn, all kinds of
sugar squash, asparagus, lima beans,
beets and carrots are all plentiful
and of good quality. There is nice
broccoli to be had. along with cab
bage, but cauliflower is scarce.
Plenty of cucumbers, green peppers.
lettuce, celery, onions, radishes and
Watercress for that salad bowl.
Eggs still are stringing along in
the hens teeth category. as are the
hens themselves. No other poultry
seems to be expected, either al
though stray shipments, especially
of live chickens, may drop in" from
time to time. Cheese continues a
good buys and if you can't spend
your red points on meat you might
as we'll use few of them for cheese.
The half-pound packages of ched-
dar, as we'll as the 5-pound loaves to
be sliced, will be available again
this week, and there seems to be a
good lot of cottage and cream cheese
on hand, as well.
Fish being temperamental crit
ters-or isn't fish critter?-the
recent windy weather has driven
them offshore, thus thwarting at
tenlpts to catch them for our tables.
Therefore. the fish picture this week
end will be a shade darker than it
has been in recent weeks. There
will be some supplies, of course, but
by no means in lavish display.
Probables in the lineup include
Boston mackerel. sea bass, trout,
croakers, butterfish, porgies and
fresh founder. Some boiled Holsters
and lobster meat are to be had,
along with clans and raw shrimp

Spare Sugar,
Sape Fruit!

The recent cut in the sugar ration
has brought questions to the can
ming specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture on how
to spare the sugar but save the fruit
this summer. Here are some of the
most frequent questions-and the
answers:
Q1estion-How must fruit can ]
put up with the reduced canning
sugar allowance?
Answer-The maximum allowance
Of Is pounds of canning sugar per
person should sweeten about so
quarts of fruit-350 generous serv-
ings.
Question-How much sugar should
I allow to a jar of fruit?
Answer-The recommended war
time proportion is pound sugar to
4 quarts finished fruit. This makes
medium thin sirup averaging
about 4 cup sugar per quart fruit.
Sour fruits may take more than this
average; juicy, sweet fruits may
need less.
Question-Can put up fruit with
out any sugar2
Answer-Yes, sugar helps canned
fruit hold color and flavor, but is
not essential to prevent spelling.
Rather than let good fruit go to
waste, put up some without sugar.
Process unsweetened fruit in the
same way as sWeetened.
Question-What about stretching
canning sugar with corn sirup, honey
or molasses?
Answer-Corn sirup may replace
up to 1s the sugar; honey up to "
Do not use molasses-its flavor over
powers the fruit; it gives dark, un-
attractive color and may cause
spoilage. Instead use molasses, and
cane, maple and sorghum sirups to
spare some sugar from the everyday
ration then use this sugar for can
ming.
Observation-Disclosures I can gel
brown sugar when I can't find white
Could I use this in canning fruit?
Answer-No, for the same reasons
as those that make molasses mad.
visable. For some pickles and rel
ishes, though, the flavor of brown
sugar Is desirable.
Question-What about jams, jellie!
and pickles? Has the ruling of 9
5-pound maximum for these beer
changed?
Answer-No. Using the entire ra
tion for canning, however, saves the
most fruit. If the family Graves a
few sweet spreads, remember fruit
buffers take proportionally the least
sugar. Some pickles and relishes
require none.

blanched almonds. A cup Of the
strained stock in which the tongue
was cooked is added to this mixture
and all is cooked together until
smooth and bit thick. AS soon as
the tongue has simmered in this
sauce long enough for the flavor to
permeate the meat, 1t is served with
the remaining sauce poured over the
slices.
Then, there are liver dumplings-
wonderful with sauerkraut. Many
like them also with noodles.
Any kind of liver may be used.
Simmer pound and a half of it in
water for few minutes and then
force the liver through the meat
grinder. Slice large onion and fry
it golden brown in fat, with about 2
quarts of bread crumbs. Combine
the ground liver with 2 well-beaten
eggs and then mix all with the onion
and crumbs. Stir in just enough
flour to make stiff batter and drop
the dumplings from a spoon into q
kettle of hot broth or bouillon, cover
the kettle and let cook for half an
hour. Better shake the pan oc-
casionally to be sure the dumplngS
don't stick) Serve hot, with the

the type pie 1t Is to be.
The very best way to keep pie
ready to use in a hurry is by fol-

BILE shortening recipes, i.e., mix the
flour and salt and shortening, and
place this dry mixture in a glass
jar anywhere at room temperature
When ready for your crust just add
cold water to moisten enough to

crust this way-the old way, one is
apt to forget about that lump of
dough in the refrigerator until you
dislike using 1t.

needlepoint piece without any
stamping upon it. How can I put
some kind of a design in the CEN

cast.
 Some members of these criminal organizations properly will escape punishment, the United Press was informed, on ground that they were forced into membership and coerced into obedience.
 The Nuremberg master trial Is ex- pected to be the last joint prosecu- tion by the four powers. The thou sands of additional individuals would be tried by local courts of various kinds, including military courts and courts of liberated states.
 Executions The 24 master trial defendants, if they are present for the event, ale most unquestionably will be execut- ed, the United Press was informed. One still Is missing. Martin Bor- mann, Adolf Hitler's secretary. has not been accounted for. Another 0oering, is i'll and may not live long. Goering has ben suffering heart at- tacks.
 The fat fellow was a drug addict. His supply of narcotics was reduc- ed and he now Is reported cured. If 1t were shown that depriving him of drugs endangered his life there would be considerable sentiment among senior members of the trial group to give him all he needed so that he might live to die diShonor- ably If convicted.
 (London reports said not only that Goering has been cured of his drug habit but that he is in perfect health for his trial.)
 The German prisoners were de- scribed as an unpreopossessing lot, some sexually perverted and others accustomed to the habitual use of drugs. The proof against them Is SO complete, conclusive and unanswer- able as to astonish even officials who knew the men were guilty but foresaw some technical difficulties In obtaining satisfactory proof.
 The four powers are determined to make an "indisputable record" in the master trial. It will be of such detailed and overwhelming nature as to make 1t impossible 10 or 20 or 90 years from now for anyone to start a propaganda campaign at tempting to show that the trials were unfair.
 Firing Squads?
 The nnsthod of execution has not been determined. The United States Army opposes convicted war crirnin- als because military men regard death by gunfire as an honorable exit.
 Convicted defendants at the mas ter trial probably will be hanged. Others may also be executed but 1t is not unlikely that the 300,000 to 100000 additional trials now fore seen will much more oftsn end in prison or forced labor sentences. Anyway, that Is matter for local courts.
 In deciding to indict the entire SS and Gestapo as criminal organ izations. the four powers have avoid- ed so far any decision on the Ger man general staff. It is understood that military men generally oppose blanket indictment of the staff as such although acknowledging that some 1T many staff officers should be punished.
