LAKELAND FIELD.
IL, r. G., Alexandria

Lakeland Field is in the San
Antonio, Tex, city limits. It is
a large and lovely base. Nearly
all airmen and women take
their basic training there. It
will soon be the home of a new
multimillion-dolla general hos
pital. I think you should like
1t very much.
San Antonio is somewhat like
the Washington area in many
ways. The climate is much
dryer and much warmer. You
will need about the same ward
robe that you require here.
Spring comes early and fall
ends late. but there win be
many days when a fur coat is
welcome.
There are many. many service
people there. In fact, without
them San Antonio would almost
cease to be. Rent is somewhat
cheaper than here and fresh
fruits and vegetables are cheap
er also. Gas, which is about all
that is used for heating, is less
expensive. Schools are good, but
as everywhere crowded. You
will find a huge housing unit
near Lakeland Field. There is
a large shopping center there,
well represented by some Of the
better stores. They will offer
you wonderful shopping If you
60 downtown.
It is home and I envy you!

SCOTCH SHORT BREAD?
IN. p. c., WGShington)
I am wondering if any one
has the recipe for Scotch short
bread sent in a year ago or so
from q lady in nearby Virginia.
She suggested q change in Oft
quoted recipes. as her husband
was Scotch and she liked their
cakes better. I'm Scotch, too,
but my relations used no recipes
and would always say watch
me make them" I've lost my
recipe plus the suggestions of
the Virginia lady. Can some one
help me?
The lady stressed q delicate
but firm touch about putting
the dough in the pan-no roll

names a newer Interpretation of
another musically inspired style,
the trumpet silhouette. The clari-
net line is more subtle than its
more familiar counterpart. The
waistline is barely suggested, and
the low flare not as pronounced

in one instance, in a double

RECIPE FOR ROLLS?

Mrs. F. H., CheUy Chase
I am sending a recipe for
rolls for c. r. NJ, Silver Spring.
Seven-minute rolls: Soften 2
packs dry yeast in l cup tepid
water with teaspoon sugar.
Put in bowl 5 teaspoons salt,
2 cups scalded milk. "a cup
sugar and stir until dissolved.
Cool to lukewarm. Add "a cup
soft shortening and 6 cups sifted
flour. Mix these and add more
flour to knead (about 4 cups).
Put into creased bowl and
cover with damp towel. Let
rise until double in bulk. Punch
down and knead on Toured
board. Divide in 4 parts and
cover with damp towel and let
stand 20 minutes.
Make into small rolls, put in
creased pan. Let rise "a as high
as regular rolls. Don't let rise
too high or they will fall. Bake
in 275-degree oven for 40 min
utes. Let set in pans for 20
minutes. Turn out on racks and
cool. Wrap in waxed paper.
Will keep in refrigerator 2 weeks
or frozen for three months.
When ready to use, place on
ungreased pan and bake z min
utes at $50 degrees. I have
made these several times and
they are delicious and really
not much trouble to make. I
separate them and put about
8 or 10 rolls in each package
to store.
LAUNDRY PROBLEM?
mrs. M. E. H., Washington
Will some one please tell me
how to solve the laundry prob
lem with an automatic washer,
the name Of which is q 10

average Of eight sheets a week
and the instructions say not
to put in more than two at q
time.
There is not enough other
clothes to fill in to make up the
load. Also. there Is always q
sediment Of lint in the clothes
after drying them, which is
very annoying.

Mrs. Merville Rosam, mistress

small, humorous gift with verse

Principal E. o. Schweitzer yielded

On the tables the decorating

Cajuns are Germans, French and

Coral Gables. Came payday and
the usual backroom crap game.
This Cajun was slight, hatchet-
faced guy with long narrow black
eyes and when he went into a
game, there was no foolin'. He
used to pull out a skinning knife,
the kind they use in the bayou
country to take the pelts from
muskrats, and just casually put
it down on the floor by his knees.
He didn't say anything. He didn't
have to! Duhe says comes from

heroine, "Scarface O'Hara," and
a couple of maverick actors, com.

Prizes given away ranged from

Dancing was enlivened by a

Ray Milland, who is Welsh-born, to
90 back to the country of his birth
as an American visiting Wales,
not only in the movie, but in real
life, since one of the scenes was
actually filmed in Wales. The re-
turn of the native is part of a
series of trips to various locales
in the British Isles, including some
magnificent views of Scotland,
typical shots of London on rainy
days, yet with beginning which
shows a boat lying off Tampa,
Fla.
Milland has the part of an
American just out of the navy who
makes a fortune and then begins
to trace facts about his younger
brother who died in 1914 while
member of the British Comman-
dos, having joined them for an
adventure in 1910 before the u S.
ent to war. The plot, incidentally
is based on an incident of World
War II and real happenings. Mil
land as Douglas finds it difficult
to make his brothers. former as
sociates talk, and naturally sus-
poets that hs brother was murder
