Fresh Pears Spice Menus

The fresh pear season has ar
rived, and there are SO many ways
to make use Of the delicious fruit
that they can never be monoto-
nous. In desserts. in salads, for
eating out of hand with cheese, or
with breakfast cereal in the morn
ing - what could be better or
more refreshing?
One of my favorite salads is q
Cactus pear" For this stew some
Bartlett pears. strain the juice
from them. and put on the fire
with a small bag of mixed spices.
Let simmer for Is minutes, then
add the pears, and let soak
for a few minutes. Strain, and
stick each pear with slivers of
blanched almonds. Serve on young
watercress with a little of the
Juice and cold mayonnaise.
Then you can combine pears
with cottage cheese and grapes.
Peel the pears and cut them in
halves. Arrange them on a platter
with well-seasoned cottage cheese
and clusters of seedless grapes.
Dress with tart French dressing
that has been made with lemon
juice instead of vinegar.
Evening star., 1950-09-05

For dessert try Bartlett pears
stewed, drained and cut in half.
Chill them icy cold, and just be-
fore serving pour hot bitter choco..
late sauce over them, and serve at
once. These are delicious.
A pretty dish is made of stewed,
halved pears. some of which have
been tinted with a little creme de
menthe, and others with grena-
dine. These also should be thor
oughly chilled before being served.
A little chopped fresh mint may
be sprinkled over the pear halves
if desired.
If you are serving sliced fresh
pears with breakfast. sprinkle the
slices with lemon juice to keep
them from turning dark.
The best pears to choose to go
with cheese are the russet variety.
These are excellent with Camem-
bert, Roquefort, or a sharp Ameri-
can cheddar. The Bartletts and
the Seckels are best for other "out
of hand" eating.
And don't overlook the addition
of pear balls to your fruit cock
tail or fruit cup. Here again the
lemon juice helps out, and chill
ing is a must.

ways improve on nature. And in
this case some of the simplest
methods will get results.
First, determine your trouble.
Is it too many calories, too heavy
bone structure or, the most COM
mon of all complaints, override
veloped muscles?
Too muscular calves can be
tanned by wearing high-heeled
shoes as often as possible and by
always going up and down stairs
on tiptoe. And here's, an exercise
to do daily to slap those muscles
away: Lie on the, floor on your
back with legs straight out. Bend
your right knee up, keeping your
heel on the floor. Now, slap the
calf to the floor. Alternate sides
one hundred times daily.
For overweight calves, watch
your diet. Walk at least two
miles a day in two-inch heels.
Get down on the floor and kick.
Here's how: Lie on your back,
bend your knees up to your chest
and kick your legs up and out as
hard as you can-fifty times every
day.
Stick to the above routines, and
you can let the new skirt lines fall
where they may. You'll have
nothing to worry about!

Tomorrow: Looking for a new hair style?
Evening star., 1950-09-05
By John Robert Powers

If you take my advice, when
you make your debut in your new
fall clothes, you won't be making
any startling revelations. First of
all, If you are less than satisfied
with the shape of your legs, you
won't let your skirts creep above
mid-calf, but instead, you'll get
going fast on a routine that will
perfect the shape and measure
ments of your calf.
A calf can measure up to the
table of standards and yet seem
less than comely in shape to the
eye, because it is knotty with
muscles. And the slightly out
sized calf can look fine, if the
muscle tone is normal and the
curve is smooth, tapering grad
ually to the ankle. The symmetry
of that curve counts just as much
toward the beauty and shaplineSs
Of leg as do its measurements.
To see how well your measure
ments conform, put your foot up
on low stool or chair and place
the tape around the largest part
of your calf. You're doing fine if
the measurement reads between
12l2 and 1872 inches. Next, take
your measurement just above the
ankle bone. If it's 5 to 5l2 inches
less than your calf, you can be
sure that there's nothing wrong
with the symmetry and curve be-
tween the calf and ankle.
If either the shape or measure
ment Of your calf leaves some
thing to be desired, read on.

House Passes Bill 10 Bar
Side Pay With GI Loan
BY the Associated Press

The House yesterday passed a
bill slapping treble damage liza
bility on sales agents who take ION
the side" payments in the sale of
homes to veterans under the
CT bill.
The measure, requested by the
Justice Department, was approved
and sent to the Senate without a
dissenting vote.
The House Veterans Committee
said there was an "all too prev
alent practice of real estate deal
ers accepting payment by veterans
in excess of the figure set by the
Veterans Administration ap-
praiser."
Justice Department records
show fines under existing law
range from 81 to $3.50, although
overpayments run up to $500.
The bill provides that the vet
eran himself must institute action
within 80 days to recover treble
damages. After that, however, he
may request the Attorney General
to act for him, but he may re-
cover only one-third the damages
for himself.

Missouri Officer Tells
OF Mistake on Buoys;
Is Named Defendant
By the Assoeiated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. THE
operations officer of the battle
ship Missouri said today he had
mistaken shallow water buoys for
deep water buoys shortly before
the ship ran aground.
The Naval Court of Inquiry
Immediately interrupted the tes-
timony of the officer, Comdr. John
r. Millett, and designated him a
defendant. The court yesterday
had designated him an inter
ested party" in the proceedings.
At the opening session of the
court last Friday, the Mighty
Mos" commanding officer, Capt.
William D. Brown. and her navi-
gator, 1t. Comdr. Frank G. Nor
ris, were named defendants.
Thought Buoys Marked Range.
Comdr. MAlett testified he
thought five buoys marked
secret electronic recording range,
which parallels the main ship
channel in Chesapeake Bay just
outside Hampton Roads, but that
after the grounding he had
learned there were only two.
The Missouri grounded January
II while attempting to run the
secret range at the request of the
Navy Bureau of Ordnance.
After the Missouri passed to
the left of the shoreward range
buoy, Comdr. Millett said the
navigator told Capt. Brown the
ship should come right"
Comdr Millett said the skipper
told him that the navigator docs
not know where he is" and Or
dered Comdr. Millett to "go find
out"
Orders Were Confusing.
Il turned Immediately and went
to the chart house on the bridge.

from the executive officer who
was on another bridge four decks

The neighborhood concerts are

"It should be unnecessary, de-

those who are here, or those lis

succeeds in it's present drive for

Icerts and broadcasts may not be

The Neighborhood Concerts are
not watered-down substitutes of

in length, they are full-scale Or
