Peaches Are Plentiful and They Make Delicious Dishes

THIS IS THE PEACH SEASON—with one of the biggest crops in years. Yellow peaches are a good source of vitamin A. Both yellow and white are a favorite source of eating pleasure. No matter which kind you buy, look carefully at its complexion— the real background color of the peach skin under its rosy markings. It should be whitish-green or yellowish. If it is dark green, however,

cracks. Firm-ripe peaches are usually the best buy. If you plan to eat the fruit the same day, soft-ripe peaches are satisfactory.

To make a peach pie, follow the general method for apple pie. Peach

dumplings, always popular, are simple to prepare. For an invidual dessert, roll out pastry dough in rounds about the size of a fruit plate. In the center, put a peeled peach with the pit removed. Sprinkle the peach with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon and a few grains of salt. Dot with butter and lift up and press the edges of the dough together. Put in greased muffin tins and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees to 375 degrees F.) for about an hour. Serve very hot with or without sauce or whipped cream.

By ELEANOR RAGSDALE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Want to invest in an Autumn Preview tweed? Or stock up on sale blankets, socks, or any kind of woolies? If so, you'll run smack into the new Wool Labeling Act, which recently became effective. You'll find that any wool product is stamped, tagged or labeled to show what kind of fibers it contains and how much of each type. Did you know that the term “wool” isn’t by any means a monopoly of the familiar sheep, but often is used to describe fleece of Angora or Cashmere goats as well as hair of the camel and his long-necked South American cousins, the alpaca, vicuna and llama? Well, any product made up of any portion of these varied “wools” now has to “tell all” so consumers won't have anything put over on ‘em. It sounds quite simple until you get to the label. There you are apt to find these mysterious designations: FIFTY P. C. WOOL. THIRTY P. C. REPROCESSED WOOL. TEN P. C. REUSED WOOL. TEN P. C. OTHER FIBERS. The “fifty p. c. woel” part seems simple enough, and sc does the “other fibers” classification—which might mean cotton, rayon or silk. Oh yes—there may be an “ornamentation excepted” clause tacked on, too. But the business of “reprocessed” and “reused” is tougher. When woolen products are not used—go out of style or dye badly, or something—they are often bought up by a reprocessing concern. Here they are put through a “garnetting which chews them up,

to fiber again. Then the fiber is respun, woven, dyed and made into new clothes, felts, or blankets. All right. So what?

Re-used Wools Are Weaker

So the new goods made of this ‘reprocessed wool” aren't quite as strong or soft or full of life as goods made from the same grade of virgin, new wool—although they might be better than goods made from a lower grade virgin wool. It stands to reason that breaking up the fiber, heating and soaking] the wool again weakens it in some way. The Federal Trade Commission definitely supports this con-

coat this year, she should know

exactly how much—and what kind—of wool it contains.

Now as to the “reused” part of the label. This means the wool has been salvaged after actual sale and use—maybe from a ragman or junk dealer, mavbe from rummage sale or second-hand clothes stores. It is “garnetted” just like the reprocessed stuff, but, of course, it has to be sterilized and cleaned besides. Hearings before Congress on the

Labeling Act. as well as Trade Com- |

mission findings, prove without doubt that “reused” wool is inferior to both the other classifications in wearing capacity. Have you ever heard the term “shoddy”? That is what textile men call “reused wool. One of the greatlest scandals of the Civil War was the fortunes made by selling “shoddy” to the Union. As to the inclusion of fibers other

than wool in a piece of goods, Madam Consumer will have to judge for herself whether that hurts the product or whether it enhances it. It all depends on the product. A light fall ensemble might be better with some cotton to lighten it. Or a woolen sheer might be far more glamorous with a touch of rayon to give it a sheen. Socks, too, often wear better if cotton or rayon are included in the woolen yarn. It’s up to you. The act, although backed by the wool growers, doesn’t presume to say that “all wool” is always best. It merely clears up the matter of different kinds of wool used, and gives the buyer the benefit of at least knowing what he or she is getting. For fifteen years the act has been kicking around Congress, and it took the defense situation, with consumer demands for quality safeguards, and the Army-induced wool shortage, to finally push it through. For a while you may find a few merchants with left-over wool stocks who don't have to label those items as long as they don’t ship them across state lines. But since the act allowed nine months between its passage, October, 1940, and its effectiveness, July 15, 1941, for merchants to get rid of unlabeled, questionable goods you ought to find a label on pretty

nearly everything now.

Marjorie Young Helps to Design I he Nation's Warships;

Right now Miss Young is working on the design and development of new types of ships to meet the changing technique of modern total war. She's assistant to Starling Burgess, famous yacht designer, in the Washington office of Weaver Associates. Realize that it would take 240 years for one person to do all the detailed and intricate drafting neecssary for one destroyer, and you can see why in the present frantic ship-building boom—both merchant and naval — Marjorie’s hands constantly are busy. Her firm acts as a go-between ‘twixt navy and shipyard on selected contracts, inspecting each step of construction, and making reports of progress to the navy. Marjorie herself works mostly on the proportions and shape of ships’ hulls. To do this she must know plenty about physics and mathematics and calculus. How did a 28-year-old girl come to invade this most masculine of fields? It was mostly the result of a chain of happy accidents.

Planned Classical Career

When Marjorie Young left her native Newport, R. I, to go to Wheaton College, she steered for a classical, not a nautical career.

She turned thumbs down on math, and majored in Greek literature. When she graduated from college, she landed a job as librarian. Then she got fired, which was Happy Accident No. 1. She invested her $150 earnings in a sailboat and took a good long leave from the discouragements of shore and jobs. Her leave lasted a year and a half, during which she lived at home, sailed in good weather, and learned to build a couple of small boats when snow or rain kept her indoors. , “I kept this up just as long as I dared,” laughs Marjorie as she tells about her haphazard steps toward naval architecture. “Then I just couldn't justify boat-building any longer, so I took the inevitable secretarial course.” After the course was over and Marjorie was back home having a vacation sail, Happy Accident No. 2 occurred. She shot her boat headon into a concrete float. While she was ruefully surveying the damage, she began asking all sorts of questions, such as “Why does a concrete ‘float’ float?” An engineering friend gave her the answers. Some of them were pretty tough, too. She began to read and study.

“Happy Accident” Three

Then along came Starling Burgess, designed of the “Ranger,” Harold S. Vanderbilt's magnificent America's Cup defender. He became acquainted with Marjorie's

Only Woman Naval Architect

doctor father—you might call that Happy Accident No. 3—and the contact was established which culminated in Marjorie's real career. Burgess needed a secretary, and Marjorie was so excited that she agreed to set out for his headquarters in Bath, Me., without even mentioning the word “salary.” It was Mr. Burgess’ vision, according to Marjorie Young, that led her to become in fact the “first woman naval architect in America.” He noted her interest in and eagerness to understand the complexities of his ship-designing firm. And he, himself, in those depression days when ship-building was at a standstill taught her omlculus, physics and the many, varied angles related to planning and laying out a ship. “I never thought I'd have anything to do with warships then,” says Marjorie with a reminiscent look in her blue eyes. “I just thought I'd build and sail yachts forever.” She has designed yachts, of course, dearest to her heart being her own boat, “Pomelion,” a 25-foot cabin sloop.

Perfect Walnut Halves

To crack walnuts so that perfect halves are obtained for decorating, stand the walnut on the flat end and strike it lightly with a hammer on the sharp point.

Important Garnish

When planning a dinner menu, it's often a good idea to make the main course garnish an important part of the meal. Try a juicy sirloin roast, surrounded with tomatoes stuffed with whole kernel sweet corn and broiled until the tomatoes are

tender. Serve with baked lima beans, green salad, rolls, sliced oranges sprinkled with coconut, coffee.

To Clean Wallpaper

An art gum eraser will often remove smudges from wallpaper. Be sure to erase as gently as possible to avoid any possible roughening of the surface.

Serve Fish Neatly

Baked fish will be easier to serve

neatly if the baking pan is lined with a sheet of cooking parchment.

Science Service Writer “The Best Antidote to Fear Is Ac= tion,” Sir Walter Langdon-Browne, distinguished English physician, declared recently in a lecture before the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Sir Walter's advice, of course, was directed to his fellow-countrymen who have to face the terror of airraids. It applies equally well, how= ever, to anyone frightened by any cause. Fear, he explained, is the survival “of a defensive mechanism af great antiquity and real value; alertness in the presence of danger by which

the mechanism was necessary for his survival. Civilized man usually

{cannot either fight or run when he |is frightened, but the mechanism (goes into action just the same. The

American surgeon, Dr. George Crile, has said that when we are frightened we are like automobiles with the clutch thrown out. Gasoline is being consumed, the whole car may tremble from the violent action of the engine, but the car does not move, So, if you are frightened, start moving, if it is only to take a brisk walk, to straighten up the house, or to pitch a ball against a fence.

o 8 2 FOR PRESERVING mental health in war-time, Sir Walter also advised getting plenty of sleep and keeping physically fit. He cited the experience of a soldier during the war in 1914-1918 who had to take supplies up to the front line every night. He did this without fear until one night when he had a severe cold. On that night he experienced acute fear. Cheerful surroundings help to banish fear. So does the creation of beautiful things. Needlework reached artistic heights during the Napoleonic wars, Sir Walter reminds us.
