WAFFLE IRON.
WAFFLE RECIPE.

From Mrs. J. w. H., W1shinotonJ
Mr.. w. L., Washington: When
the waffle iron has been heated
about one minute open 1t up and
let the condensation out for a
second or two. The cold iron COM
ing in contact with heat causes it
Ito sweat and if not allowed to
escape it cooks into light-gummy
substance. When finished baking
waffles, leave the iron wide open
until thoroughly cold. 1t is, nee
Iessary to oil the iron lightly only
once, the first time used-then
never again. This rule applies also
Ito a cooking oven; when lighted
land heated, open up to let the con-
Idensation out for a second; when
finished baking, leave open until
the oven is cold.
Two cups of flour. 4 teaspoons
baking powder, "a teaspoon salt.
6 tablespoons sugar. 2 eggs. IA
cups sweet milk, 6 tablespoons
melted butter and l teaspoon va
Inilla. Mix and sift dry ingredients.
Beat egg yolks until lemon colored
and add with milk into dry in
gradients; add melted butter. Beat
egg whites until stiff and fold into
batter. Add vanilla. Bake 21z to 3
minutes. Makes 6 waffleS. Cut this
recipe in half for two persons. I
have just as good luck putting the
eggs in whole. We sometimes have
Iwaff1es for Sunday nights supper.
Make up batter in afternoon, leave
out baking powder, and add later
when ready to bake when you plan
to go out for Sunday afternoon.

full. 1t is for sale with household
cleaners, bleacheS, etc. Soak them
in a strong solution of this
cleanser and water. Boil them
frequently and dry them in the

mine on a paper on the window

From Mrs. r. S. B.. BoyceJ
Who can give me information

take much equipment and where

in my spare time?
Let's start some discussions on
freezers. How do you wrap
things? I have had poor luck
with cream puffs. chiffon pies and
cakes. They were all soggy,
though it is said they can be
frozen. What cooked things, to
save time, can be frozen ahead
and served in as good a condition

had good luck with is chicken

Free World Plans Pooling of Its Oil Resources

taken to maintain adequate sup
ply and distribution of petroleum
products on worldwide basis"
From the 10 responding COM
panies, the Petroleum Administra-
tion asked recommendations for
Ia plan OF voluntary action. In
the course of the discussions, clear
ance has been obtained from the
Foreign Petroleum Committee, an
interagency group which con-

Commission on the antitrust i'm
lplications will permit final ap-
Iproyal of the Defense Production
Authority. A statutory basis for
such a plan is found in the De-
fense Production Act.
Under the proposed plan an In
|dustry Committee would be set up
to direct the pooling, whenever
necessary. under supervision of the
petroleum administrator. In prac-
|tice such pooling might consist of
|diverting some crude oil to diff
|ferent reflneries, converting some
|refineries to different types of pro-
|duction. and reallocating trans
port to new routes or services. BY
such methods worldwide solu-
|tion could be worked out to match
Ia crisis which might in itself be
confined to q single area or coun-
try.
Those who have been working
out details of the program believe
lit could eliminate the threat of Sc
rious or protracted shortages and
perhaps be the means of fore

gasoline in this country.

there are accommodations for

Sending the four extra divisions
over is costing the Government
$285 million more this year than
to maintain them here. That's
because the cost of transporting
equipment is high. After this year,
the extra cost will be Sill million
annually. Some of the costs over
there will be cheaper than in this
country: Repairs and utilities. for
instance. German labor and mate
rlals are cheaper.
And there will be another saw
ing for the taxpayer. The Eco
nomic Cooperation Administra-
ton (ECA) is going to cut it's re-
quest for funds for Germany this
year almost in half. The large
volume of American dollars the
soldiers will spend there will main
tain the dollar balance without
