 When Admiral Halsey was here he convplsed listeners with his pet story in which he stars. It was a stormy, wartime, middle-of-the- night at the Pacific. Halsey and his Flag Officer (ex-Gov. Harold Stassen) were on deck, staring out into the ebony space. Above them were two sailors, one of whom audibly muttered: Do you think the Old Soandso knows where -the-hell he is?"
 T dunno" said the other, but the old b-- has been all over iY1'."
 Stassen was hoping Halsey hadn't heard - when The Old So- andso quipped: Harold why do they always call me OLD?"

If Bread Is
'Ropy'

Housewives still rely on a vinegar
cure when a loaf of home baked
bread is cut, and the center of a
loaf gives off cantaloupe odor or
has turned ropy or Shiny.
This spoilage is caused by certain
bacteria that thrive in hot weather
and are hard to kill, say bacteriol-
ogistS of the Bureau of Human Nu-
triton and Home Economics. The
bacteria hide in -four. They may
also get into liquid yeast used from
one week to another, or into potato
water used in bread-making, or into
cracks and seams of utensils.
To be rid of trouble with ropy
bread, the bacteriologists advise
these tactics:
Boil all utensils used in bread
making in mixture of part Vine
gar to parts water. If potato water
Is regularly used in bread-making
omit this from the next baking. If
liquid yeast is used from week to
week, get fresh starter"
If bread continues ropy after all
these precautions, add vinegar to
the dough itself. To do this, mix
about teaspoons of a standard
white vinegar-one containing 4 to
6 per cent of acetic acid-with the
liquid for an average baking of three
l-pound loaves. If using a very
strong white vinegar-containing
per cent of acetic acid-reduce the
vinegar to teaspoons.

lilies begin to complain about start

left to choose from and a good
jellied soup always is refreshing
on a hot day. So what to do?
The answer is-more of the
same, but do it differently. Instead
of one soup, served in cups, do as a
wen-known Washington hostess does
at her formal summer dinner
parties. She puts four kinds of
soup to jell in the ice box, in sepa-
rate bowls. Rosy madrilene, golden
chicken, amber consomme and cool
green turtle.
When the time comes to serve
these she chops through each bowl
full lightly with a fork and puts a
generous spoonful or two of each
one in a little mound by itself on
fiat soup plates, alternating colors
for contrast and effect. The result
is delightful to look at and the
combination of flavors interesting
and appetite -whetting.

Report to the Housewife

Before the war I always took my
vacation at this time-due largely
to the fact that during the August
dogdays Washington markets al
most slept in the sun and quiet.
There was little, If anything new
to report. So I went places, and
this column did a foldup for a
couple of weeks. When the war
made so many foods hard to get,
there was even news in August if
something unusual appeared in the
markets, so we carried on.
Now, however, things are differ
ent, and the old doldrums seem to
be setting in again. Granted, some
items are still hard to find, such as
salad oils and dressings, soaps and
soap powders, sugar and a few other
things-but their absence now
doesn't inspire housewives with the
feeling that they are helping to win
the war"--it just makes them mad.
So-there's no point in dwelling on
them.
Which leaves us just where we
started-in seasonal slump, both
the markets and myself!
This August-so far-there is
plenty of meat of all kinds, but
prices are mighty high in most
instances. This week end should see
all cuts Of beef available, plenty of
lamb and veal will be offered. Pork
is little on the scarce side, but
there are fair supplies of fresh
hams and shoulders, as we'll as
Boston butts. Judging by the num-
Der OF phone calls the Office has
received recently, more real Smith
field hams are reaching town-or
being brought proudly home by Vir-
ginia vacationers.
Lots of stewing and frying chick
ems are to be had, with adequate
supplies of young tender bakers to
be found for the looking Chicken
blythe piece of course. too. A few
markets have nice plump ducks
Eggs are plentiful, and about the
same in price as last week.
The fish lineup is exactly as it

with the possible exception of crab
and lobster meat and shrimps-all
naturals for summer salads and
cocktails. One can't really wonder
at this apathy on the part of the
housewiveS-"too many and too
much" describes the amount of fish
we have had to consume during the
past meatless years.
Excellent cheddar, Swiss and blue
cheeses are coming to market In

mashed with a little cream and
cayenne to stuff celery stalks. Chill
thoroughly before serving. Very
sharp, and a good whet to the appe-
tite

YOUTH" BED;
OTHER QUESTIONS?

From Mrs. H. w. B., Siluer Spring. J
In reply to Mrs. z. B. as to wheth-
er a youth bed" is really of good
value or just needless expenditure.
According to my experience, they
are we'll worth the money. I shocked
my relatives and friends by putting
my l7-month-old boy into youth
bed when I needed crib for his
baby sister. For about a week I had
little trouble with him wanting to
get out of bed to play instead of
going to sleep, but after that he
stayed in bed for his nap and only
got out after he awakened from it.
My way of Furnishing him for getting
out of bed that week was to put him
into the crib to sleep while the
baby was still in the bassinet. The
youth bed was in his room for sew
eral days for him to get acquainted
with it before I put him in it to
sleep.
Some mothers may worry, as I
did, about such young child fall
ing out of the youth bed. I placed
a folded blanket on the floor by
the bed, and the three times my
son fell out he landed on it, and
since the bed is only Is inches from
the floor, he didn't hurt himself
That occurred a year ago, and last
month we took the sides off the
bed with the result that he fell out
once the first week and I have a
suspicion that he had been playing
in the bed that time. We are so
pleased with the ease with which we
trained our son to stay in his bed
that now that baby sister has Just
passed II months we are contem-
plating putting her into the youth
bed and giving our son full-size bed.
In our case the youth bed saved us
from purchasing a second crib. Also
I believe it saved us from many
scenes" which mothers often ex-
perlence when they exchange an
older child's crib for a bed. A child
is supposed to be able to use a youth
bed until he is about 10 years old.
Now for a question of my own.
our mouse Is on corner lot with
the side street being dead-end
street. Since there are no side
walks in this neighborhood, many
OF the children play in the street
My children are not allowed to play
in the street. Right now they are
content to play with their toys and
dig in the dirt, but very soon they
will need more than that to keep
them in their yard, I would appre-
ciate any suggestions as to what in
expensive play equipment would help
to serve that purpose. Our boy is
now 2l2 and our girl IL.
A reader sent in a query some
time ago in which I was interested
but to which I never saw a reply,
so I'll bring up the question again.
What are the advantages and dis
advantages of open bookcases and
glass ones?
