EOLLYWOOD-With her US
ual gift for choosing the most
timely themes for her books,
Vicki Baum again has hit the
nail on the head in her newest
novels, "Headless Angel" pub
lished last month by Doubleday
Doran in New York City.
Miss Baum's heroine, Clarinda
blue-eyed and fair-skinned, is
taken from Weimar the tur-
bulent Mexico Of the early 1S00s
by a class of that period, wor-
shipped a white skin above all
else and scorned the dark-skin-
ned natives. How all these bigot-
ed people lost their fortunes and
their lives when the natives fin
ally reached the end OF their
patience and revolted, forms the
exciting climax of 'Headless An
gel". Clarinda, alone, survived
and returned to Europe to live
in her memories Of a world that
no longer existed.
For several months last year
Miss Baum actually lived in
Guanajuato, Mexico, scene OF
most of the action of "Headless
Angel, to get authentic back
ground material for her book.
It's strong, humanitarian theme
was dictated by the .authoress's
own broad beliefs and by her
desire to have a share in the

There's no fruit to beat red
banana at just the proper stage
of ripeness. In years gone by, no
picnic was complete without them
and they had flavor never
achieved by their yellow counter
part, whether kept in or out OF
the refrigerator!
But, unhappily, nowadays we
have to be content with yellow
ones, to eat "out of hand" or to
use in other ways. A favorite cake
of mine is this banana cake:
Cream IA quarter cups OF sugar
with y cup of butter. Add 2 EGGS
beaten very light, and a teaspoon
of soda dissolved in tablespoons
of sour cream. Beat thoroughly.
Add l cupful of banana pulp,
IL cups of pastry flour. teaspoon
of vanilla and a smidgen OF salt.
Mix well and then bake in a
buttered loaf pan in moderate
oven until straw comes out clean.
1 frost my banana cakes with
lemon butter icing-the comblna-
ton of f1avers is delicious:
Cream 2 tablespoons of butter
with l cup of confectioners' sugar,
Add a tablespoon of milk and a
tablespoon of lemon juice with a
little grated rind. Work until OF
the right consistency to spread and
then ice the cake.
1t may interest you to know that
bananas are picked green, not just
to preserve the fruit during storage
and shipment. as most people sup
pose. but because the fruit is not
| fit to eat if permitted to ripen on
the plant! If allowed to turn yell
low on the plant, bananas lose
their characteristic flavor, the
skins burst open and the fruit rots
rather than ripens. It is only
when bananas are picked while still
green in color that the starch
in them will turn to sugar and
make them good as a food.
| And there's always an element
of surprise and danger in the
banana selling game. I have seen
in the offices of some of the large
chain food stores warehouses the
most gruesome collection of taran-
tulas, scorpions, snakes and other
little charmers that came along
| for the ride with the bunch when
1t was cut down and shipped.

The Chef Says

Nothing tame about that bust
ness!
I ran across quite an interesting
story the other day, browsing
through a book dealing with coffee.
1t has to do with that boon to
'1ive-aloners," campers and so on
soluble coffee-and how it came to
be.
Apparently as far back as the
early COS chemists were trying to
find a soluble coffee or extract IN
order to simplify the preparation
of the beverage. Any number OF
products have been put on the
market, but until recently only few
have met with real success.
A japanese chemist came to
Chicago from Tokyo in 1899. bring
ing with him a soluble tea which
ne hoped to popularize. This was
failure, but did put the gentleman,
DR.. Sartori Kato by. name, in touch
with some coffee men, who set MN
to work on making a soluble Gomez
for them. He succeeded and COM
PAW was formed to market the
product. The coffee was sold flrst
to the public at the Pan-Amerlcanl
EXPOSITION in 1901. The hrst
quantity order was received from
Captsin Baldwin and used by MIN
very satisfactorily on the zlegier
Arctic Expedition.
Next in the field was G. Wash
ington, who was born in Belgium
of English parents. When he was
living temporarily in Guatamaia
in 1906, he invented soluble
coffee which went on the market in
1909. Those of you who are familiar
with the &c. Washington" name on
Ethe coffee containers probably
thought it was so called in honor OF
the Father of His Country, but 1t
was Mr.. G. Washington's own name
all along.
Soluble coffee had rough time
becoming really popular. until war
brought it fame. 1t was called
zone of the most important articles
of subsistence used by the Army
Nowadays it is much used in small
households and is favored espe-
cially for making iced coffee.
Incidentally, how about including
some soluble coffee in that next
food package you plan to send
