MRS. DOOLITTLE PREFERS ‘GROUNDWORK’ TO PILOTING

Not Worried by Husband’s Air Exploits BY HELEN WELSHIMER NEA Service Writer CLEVELAND, 0., Sept. 18.—Mrs. James H. Doolittle, wife of Major Doolittle, new speed king of the sky, has no desire to take up her own ship. She is perfectly satisfied with ground-work. And ground-work, to her, means baking the huge chocolate cakes the proper crispness, and that he has caramels around when he wants them. "Steak, chocolate cakes and caraluels are the three things to eat which he likes most,” she says. “He likes food in general, though. All kinds an,} lots of it.” Keep “Open House” Mrs. Doolittle, who is slim, petite, blue-eyed, with hair that is prematurely growing white, is exactly the type of hostess who should manage the home of a man who is always telling his friends to drop in—or down, if they happen to be nymg. ■‘Ou r house usually is filled with guests,” she says. “We like to have it that way. Every one comes. We try to keep a maid, but we can’t usually for the maids object to the company. I like to do the cooking, but I m not so fond of dusting and Washing dishes.” Mrs. Doolittle has perfect confidence in her husband. She is as proud of him as their two sons, Jimmy Jr., 11, and John, 9, could possibly be. ‘Not At Ail Afraid’ , ‘‘l’m not at all afraid when he flies,” she says, “for I know that he is thoroughly proficient. He thinks unusually fast—he has demonstrated what he can do—so I don’t worry. Just the same, I’m glad that the government has regulations compelling ships to stay higher In the sky.” Mrs. Doolittle wants her husband to travel as far as he can and as fast as he can in his profession. The transcontinental air record of 11 hours and 11 minutes which he established during the National Air Races is just part of his work. Major and Mrs. Doolittle both were students at the Manual Arts High school in Los Angeles. One day the athletic looking boy noticed the pretty little girl. Soon he started to carry her books home from school, take her to school parties, tell what he wanted to do when he was through college. He held an amatew boxing championship at 15. High School Classmates “We were graduated from high school in 1914, in the same class,” she recalls. “But we weren’t married for three years. That was 14 years ago. Major Doolittle had entered the University of California. Then the war came along. He left college and enlisted. I was in charge of the auditing department of a shipping yard. We thought that he would be sent to France, so we were married.” That was six years after the boy-and-girl romance had started. Mrs. Doolittle had never flown <vhen she was married. Then after several flights, she decided she wanted to be a pilot, too. “I went down to the De Mille field at Hollywood, very much enthused about it. My husband was a second lieutenant by that time. I discovered that flying instructions cost more money than I had, so I gave, up the idea, and I’ve never wanted to try again. James Jr. Can Fly “I don’t think that any one can fly successfully without his or her own plane. Experience is one of the most important factors in developing skill in flying, and not having a ship of one’s own is a handicap. I’ve never had another desire .;o be a pilot.”. But James Jr., has the flying bug. “His father says that he is ready to solo now,” his mother admits With the same pride with which she speaks of her famous husband’s speed. “I don’t think that he should. First of all, the publicity wouldn't be good for him. Too many boys who take up aviation drop out of school. I think that every boy should finish his education, because he will need it if he wants to do the most with aviation. Now that competition is so keen, just to be a pilot isn’t enough.”

CORSETS AID EUGENIE MODE

Devotees of Fashions Intent on Svelte Lines

BY MARY BINGHAM THE Eugenie rage has become so intense that her disciples are rushing in droves to “corsetieres” that the exact effect of the original mode may be produced. Eugenie was one of the very first flappers who brought down condemnation for riding through the parks with her boy friends, unchaperoned. Eugenie really

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“spare tire” effect of a bulge above the top of the ordinary girdle. B B B MRS. RUTH FISHBACK, stylist at L. S. Ayres & Cos., maintains that if one wears an Empress’ hat, one must walk like an empress, “Erect, with head back, shoulders squared and diaphragm up, in exactly the manner that’ posture experts have emphasized for years. The Empress hat, a part of the Empress mode, is one of the reasons that have brought women back into our corset department. “The debutante slouch is out, as is the boyish bob,” she continued. “For the much desired cinched-in waistline one must suffer, although one experiences no actual discomfort in the new garments.” Mrs. E. Gordon Smith of the Gossard shop on the Circle decries the statement that Eugenie hats have increased corset sales. “We always sell more corsets in the fall,” she spoke prosaically. “Women won’t wear ’em in the summer.” But she added: “The new lines require some sort of a foundation garment. There must be no bulge, but a smooth sweep from shoulder to hip so necessary for the svelte fashion line that features the small bust, small waist, and small snug thigh. The only particular things that Eugenie hats have made popular are feathers.” B tt B BUT Miss Harriet M. Norton, whose corset shop is located on Meridian street south of the Circle, agrees with rumors attributing the increased corset sales to the Empress Eugenie hat. “The present Empress mode has a grace of line flattering to every woman and the foundation garment accentuates the smooth line of the figure. One must have the illusion of a smaller waist this fall, to correspond with the style of Eugenie’s day when her hat was a hit and her word in the fashion world was law.” And so it seems that Eugenie will have still another fad to her credit. But, what will take the place of the “Hoosier Hop” on the dance floor under the new regime?

Drying Fruits an Easy Way to Prevent Waste

Sitter Mary teUs how to dry fruit* and vegetable* In the following article, the third in a aerie* of four which the has written for The Times on “Saving the SurDlus.” BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer An economical way to take care of fruits and vegetables that are in danger of going to waste is to dry them. Dried foods are easy to store and take up less room than canned foods. There are several specially constructed dryers on the market that are very convenient to have and give excellent results, but homemade dryers are not hard to make and cost next to nothing. Stout muslin stretched on a strong frame supported at each corner by short legs makes an admirable impromptu. dryer. Choose a frame that will fit in the oven or on top of a coal range. Vegetables and fruits can be dried in the oven or over the kitchen stove in the home kitchen. If communities are interested in drying large quantities of produce, the drying kilns of brickyards and lumber factories make it possible to take care of bushels of fruits and vegetables in the shortest length of time possible. Must Be Tender Vegetables for drying must be fresh and tender, but they may be at a more mature stage than is desirable for canning. Wash and clean thoroughly. Then blanch in boiling water for five to ten minutes. Drain and dry between towels before arranging on drying trays Be sure the vegetable is spread in a thin layer in the dryer. Start the drying at a very low temperature, about 110 degrees F., and gradually increase the temperature to 150 degrees F. Vegetables are dry when they are brittle. The vegetables should be stirred or turned during the process and trays moved from the lower part of the oven or dryer to the top to equalize the heat. As the vegetables dry they naturally shrink and two or more trays can be combined, leaving space for a fresh lot and making possible economy of both time and heat.

SWEET CORN

Remove husks and silk from corn and cook in boiling water for eight minutes. Drain well and cut from cob. Be careful to cut the tops from the kernels and scrape out the rest

to avoid as much of the hull as possible. Arrange in thin layers on trays and dry until brittle. DRIED GREEN LIMA BEANS -Shell beans and cook in boiling water from five to ten minutes. Drain thoroughly and dry between towels. Place on trays and dry until brittle. DRIED HERBS, CELERY TIPS AND PARSLEY Wash well and dry between towels. Arrange on trays and dry until crisp. Dried fruits present a little different problem, for the ability to judge accurately when fruit has reached the proper condition for removal from the dryer is gained by experience. If metal drying trays are used they should be lined with heavy paper or thin muslin to prevent any possibility of chemical action between the fruit acids and the metal. Select fresh, perfectly ripe fruit and prepare as necessary. Spread in single layers on trays and dry just as vegetables are dried. When fruit is so dry that it is impossible to press any juice from freshly cut end and when none of the natural grain of the fruit shows when it is broken, it is dry enough to remove from the dryers. It should also be leathery and pliable. DRIED PEACHES Peaches, of course, can be dried without peeling, but they are much nicer to use if peeled. Scald as for canning and pull off skins. Cut in halves and remove pits. Arrange on trays, cut side up and dry according to the method given for dried vegetables. DRIED APPLES Pare and cut in quarters. Remove cores and cut in slices. Drop into salt water to prevent discoloration, using three tablespoons salt to four quarts of water. Let the fruit stay one minute in the salt solution. Drain and dry between towels and arrange in thin layers on trays. Dry like peaches. DRIED PEARS Prepare like apples, using salt solution to prevent discoloration. Steam ten minutes and arrange on trays for drying. Quinces are dried like apples and pears. DRIED PLUMS Plums take the longest of all fruits too dry since they are dried whole. Wash well and pour over boiling water to cover. Cover closely and let stand twenty minutes. Drain and dry between towels. Arrange on trays and finish like other fruits. The best containers for dried products are tin boxes or pails fitted with tight covers, and glass jars. Lard pails, baking powder cans and the like are ideal for storing dried foods. Small paper bags can be used if there are not enough cans. Twist the tops of the bags and tie tight with stout cord. If painted all over with a coat of melted paraffin, the bags are practically insect and moisture proof. Paraffin coated paper containers with tight-fitting covers can also be used. These as well as the bags should be stored in large tin cans such as the big 50-pound lard cans, with tight covers. When you realize that a hundred pounds of fresh products will average not more than ten pounds of dried food, the storage problem is simple. Next—Storing winter vegetables.
