PANCAKE GRIDDLES.
fFrom Mrs. G. F. G., Siluer Sprinq.
I believe that if the ladies who
are having trouble with their pam
cake griddles or waffle irons will
add another egg or two and a little
more shortening to the batter there
will be no sticking. I have very
good cast aluminium griddle and that
has been my experience. I never
grease the griddle and keep it
secured with steel wool and soap so
there is none of the old (cling to- on
the pan to cause trouble.
From Mrs. G. p. B., Takoma Park. J
For Mrs. M. S. Washington, whose
grlddle cakes stick, l would suggest
she use salt. Put salt on when hot,
then your grease and take it off with
a cloth. I usually put some vege-
table shortening in a small square
of cloth, sprinkling salt under and
over it, then tie it up and use as
greaser. The salt with grease may
be used on frying pan, too, if it
sticks.

CATTLE CEILING PRICES
TO AID HOUSEWIFE

The directive of Economic Stabili-
cation Director Fred NJ. Vinson to
place ceiling prices on live cattle
should be boon to housewives and
dealers in helping them to get their
fair share of all grades Of beef at
fair prices, Price Administrator
Chester Bowles declares. Live cat
tie represented the only important
food commodity that was not under
ceiling prices. he said. Gas prices
of better grade animals rose and
beef ceiling prices held stable, a
large percentage of good and choice
grades of cattle went to a minority
of slaughterers selling meat above
ceiling prices. Legitimate slaughter
ers and ordinary butcher shops got
Less than their usual share of quail
ity beef. Our entire program OF
meat price control was in danger OF
a breakdown Price controls on
meat have now been strengthened at
the starting point-live cattle"

price controls Bowles pointed out

Noted Artist To
Lecture Tonight

Paintings submitted for the 18th
in the popular Cumberland Valley
Exhibitions, a show featuring the
art and artists of the region border
ing on Hagerstown, sponsored an
nually by the Washington County
Museum of Fine Arts, will be sub
mitted to a one-man Jury today.
Hobson Pittman, one of Americas
most adept and versatile painters,
will judge the quality of paintings
submitted to the exhibition, both for
entry into the show and for the
prizes awarded by the Museum.
Tonight at $3.50, under the auspices
of the Museum and in its lecture
hall, Mr.. Pittman will also offer an
illustrated lecture on What to See
in a Painting" AS popular teach
er as well as an artist, Mr.. Pittman
is highly qualified to offer clues from
which the spectator can derive more
enjoyment from paintings. The
lecture is a continuation of the To-
cal Museums service of art to its
community, and its friends in the
county and city are cordially invited
to this lecture. There is never a
charge for the Museums education
al program.
Mr.. Pittman is well represented in
museum and private collections of
art throughout the country. His
name is a password into any art
circle, and his one-man exhibits
have been applauded by all critics.
His paintings embody a kind of
haunting nostalgia, which leads the
New York Times critic to refer to
him as a "poet-painter." Hobson
Pittman is Director of Art at Friends

FUEL OIL SUPPLY
"TOUCH AND co"

Harold L. Ickes, Petroleum Adj
ministrator for War, cautions home
heating oil users that stocks are be-
low last years level and that con-
sumers should avoid excessive con-
sumption that will deplete stocks
too rapidly For the remainder Of
the heating season, meeting home
heating oil demands will be strictly
touch-and-go. Fuel oil supplies are
tight but adequate to meet current
rationed demands" Administrator
Ickes said. However, there is not
as much fuel oil available this year
as there was II months ago. That
means that ver-consumption will
make the problem more critical.
Furthermore, military requirements
have been stepped up, placing a
further burden on American re-
finers.

Foreign Policy Begins At Home,
by James Warburg, is a simple
straightforward book about our
foreign and domestic policy. Mr..
Warburg points out that the two
are inseparable-what we are here
at home, conditions and determines
what we do as a nation outside our
own borders. 1t is a book that every
one of us should read, particularly
now when what our country does is
of such paramount importance, not
only to us, but to the whole world.
The writer makes us realize that
the inclination SO many of us have,
to leave details of problems such
as international relations to social
ed experts" is sheer Sinking of
responsibility on our part.
Two books that will be of great
help to those who are physically
handicapped, or to those who are
doing work with wounded or dis
abled veterans, are Normal Lives
For The Disabled, by Edna Yost,
and Jobs For The Physically Hardi-
capped, by Louise NeuschultZ Both
of these books are very practical
and realistic and show how it Is
possible for disabled people to at
tain economic independence and
maintain a normal social existence.
In Normal Lives For The Dis
abled," Miss Yost speaks directly to
those who are facing this problem
in their own lives. thereby giving
the readers feeling of intimate
understanding and furnishing them
with philosophy that motivates
and personalities the material. 1t
presents techniqueS to be used by
the handicapped individual; by
family and friends; by people and
agencies who are doing rehabilit-
alton work; by business and indus
try which must furnish most of the
necessary jobs, and by the public
who must understand and cooperate.
Jobs For The Physically Handi-
capped supplements Miss Yost's
book in furnishing an exhaustive list
of vocations open to the disabled,
together with detailed information
on training, related reading, and the
methods of starting and working in
various fields.
Men Without Country, by Charles
Nordoff and James Norman Hall, is
perfectly delightful little book en-
tirely belying its exceedingly drab
appearance. 1t is the story of men
whose love for their country trans
cended the cruelties which it had
imposed upon them. There were
five of them, five tough, hard bitten,
prisoners who escaped from the pen
al colony in French Guiana. Their
escape had been motjvated by the
patriotism smouldering within them
and their thirst to fight for the free
dom they had never known. On the
French freighter which picked them
up were two French officers whose
desire for their own security was
equalled only by their blind sub
mission to routine authority. When
France fell, the inevitable conflict
between these followers of Vichey
and the five men who were de-
termined to remain Frenchmen and
free, leads to a series of events that
make a story of breathless interest
and heart outcome.

Your Kids and Mine is Joe E.
Browns account of his entertain

ter hrs own son was killed, he set
out to entertain other peoples
sons. Everywhere, in camps, in hos
pitfalls, in jungles, on flying fields in
out-of-the-Way places, in rain and
in sunshine, behind the lines and at
the front, Mr. Brown talked to the
boys wherever he went. They in
/ turn told him their stories, human,
simple, touching, which he put into
his book, making it the warm human
document that 1t is.
Blessed Are The Meek, by Zofia
Kossak, is story that will recon-
mend itself to those who have en-
joyed Franz WerfePs "Song Of
Bernadette" and LLOYD Douglas
'"The Robe" 1t is primarily the
story of St Francis Of ASSIST, set
against the background of one of
the most tumultuous and exciting
periods of history-the first decades
of the thirteenth century. All sorts
OF superstitions and wild forebod-
ings were sweeping France and
Italy, when to Rome came gentle
Francis of ASSIST and his devoted
band, preaching a new gospel of
love and simplicity and seeking
the Popes approval These years
which saw the beginnings of the
Order of St. Francis, also saw the
Children's Crusade and the i'll fated
Fifth Crusade Mrs. Kossak brings
to a moving and deeply felt con-
clusion the sweeping panorama of
an age that, like our own, was a
time of crisis in the history of
Western civilization.
