Our nelghbor, Harold L.. lckes,
(whom we have never seen by the
way), last week wrote a column
for Leonard Lyons who is in
Europe. Mr.. lckes explanation of
how he was persuaded to "pinch-
hit" amused us. He said in part:
II am at loss to make con-
vincing explanation. AS if l did
not have enough time keeping up
with my own work without doing
errands for the neighbors! If you
must know, think what persuad-
ed me to say yes, when my first
reaction was a loud mo- was nv
admiration for l.. LIS. colossal
nerve. l have always admired
nerve even in the most unusual
circumstances. Imagine a column
list -. mooching me for a
column and even, permitting me to
pay for and lick the postage stamp
that will carry the manuscript to
his office"
So we think our friends must
often think of the writer of this
column when we ask if we may
use their material for The SEN
tinel. Our excuse is that very in
teresting articles might otherwise
reach very few persons. We have
been so short of gas and time to
visit around and search out mater
ial of late that had it not been
for Miss F. May Sellman and R.
Bentley Thomas, the column might
have been discontinued for a time.
We think the mention of some
of the real estate transfers in the
Olney-Sandy Spring Brookeville
area as recorded by Mr.. Thomas in
the Annals of Sandy Spring may
prove interesting before we leave
the said annals for another year.

Shortening Power

A great many Of the home
makers have been interested in a
comparison Of shortening power of
different fats so it seems impor-
tant TO give out the following in
formation that their home grown
lard may be used to better advan.
tage: The various fats do differ
somewhat in shortening power, but
these slight differences matter only
when a large amount of fat is used
or when working for definite
texture, as in cake. In recipes
demanding large amounts Of fat,

Of lard, oils, or home-rendered fats
