No Scrap of Fat Too Small to Matter;

Numerous Fat-Savers Recommended

IN FIGHTING FAT WASTE, the “pound wise” homemaker is “penny

wise” as well, for no scrap of fat is too small to matter. X In “all-out” fat saving, even the bits of table fat that cling to clean wrappings can be scraped off and used to grease pans or to rub over the crust of newly baked homemade bread. The housewife can use trimmings from meat—good flavored beef fat or ham fat—to seascn dishes in the

same way that she uses salt pork. Drippings from roasted or broiled meat or from poultry may be added to soups, used in sauces for scalloped: dishes, mixed with vegetables for flavoring, basted over lean meats while they are cooking, or substituted for other fat in cake, gingerbread, waffles, muffins, biscuits, pie crust, poultry stuffing and macaroni, . The more strongly flavored fats of lamb and mutton can be used in crust for meat pies or in spice cakes, gingerbread or orange cakes.

“cheesy” taste. The home economists point out that this doesn’t make more fat, but it does make it go farther. Fat trimmed from either cooked or uncopked meat has to be rendered before you can put it to work; in other words, it has to be melted away from the connective tissues. Best method is to cut the fat into ‘fine pieces or run it through a grinder and melt it in a double boiler or a pan set over hot water. When it is thoroughly melted, strain it through a clean cloth. The pieces saved in straining may be used for eracklings in muffins and other hot

«breads.

No Smoking SMOKING IS BAD for fats— breaks them down chemically, makes them harder to digest and lessens their keeping properties. . Low heat should be used on fats, particularly on butter, oleomargarine, ‘drippings - and. olive oil, which have a low smoking point. 4 Proper storage, the home economists say, is just as important as

wise use in the conservation of fats. |

Fats should be kept cold when not in use. And that includes the little cup of drippings which some let stand on the back of the stove or in the hot sun on the kitchen table. Storing fats in a closely covered xm away from strong-flavored and strong-scented foods and away from the light is a wise conservation measure. Another is to check on fats from time to time to be sure they aren't turning rancid, especially before new fats or drippings ‘are added to old.

Fat for Fighting

EVERY HOUSEWIFE should save for Uncle Sam any fats which can“not be used in the home. These should be strained into a clean,

wide-mouthed can—never into a paper bag or glass. To preserve the glycerine content, salvaged fats must be stored in a cold place away from the light; when at least a pound has accumulated, the amount may be -taken to the meat dealer. These fats end up in munitions or are put to other industrial uses that speed the war program. A folder giving explicit instructions on the use of fats, entitled “Fats in Wartime Meals,” may be obtained from the office of information, U. S. department of agriculture, Washington, D. C. It contains numerous helpful suggestions and eight fat-saving recipes.

Woman's Viewpoint— Slurs Assailing Service Women Termed Gossip

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer UNFORTUNATELY, those who have risen to defend the honor of our women in the armed forces have also talked too much. The best answer to scurrilous attack is dignified silence. Blasts of denial by Mrs. Roosevelt, C on gresswomen Rogers and Norton, Secretary Stimson and others against the hints of immorality among WAACs and WAVES, only fanned a weak ¥ guest into a tor4 nado of public comment. And perhaps we give too much importance to the charges when we call them Nazi propaganda. Plain gossip is a better term, and gossip will go on so long as human nature does business at the same old stand. Our women in uniform represent the best element of American womanhood—and that’s no oratory, but plain English. 2 2 ”

IT WOULD BE exaggeration fo say all went in for purely altruistic reasons. Women, too, are moved oy a desire for adventure, change, travel, better opportunities. Thay get tired of ruts. But because these women are volunteers, they are prepared to meet new challenges. These must include the inevitable criticism which has always attended feminine progress. ‘Moreover, being smart, they Tealize a uniform does not bestow virtue on a woman any more than it ennobles a man, if the stuff of nobility is not in him. Most of them are trying to adjust themselves to a strange situation, one never before met by our women. From all reports they're doing a swell job of it and their home folks are proud of them.

By ROSETTE HARGROVE Times Special Writer. ‘LONDON, June 29.—Not being catty, but it seems to have taken a world cataclysm to get the mass of British women dressed in good taste, in clothes of good design. They can thank the war that they are better dressed today than they ever were before. To create wartime utility and “austerity” clothes for Miss and Mrs. England, the government called in the very best stylists London could produce, with the result that good design was brought within the reach of all. Being no longer an exclusive commodity of the rich, it blossoms now where it never did before, and many a dowdy provincial miss has acquired a new, trim smartness.

Observe Regulations

Rationing, plus austerity, plus utility, add’ up to a great democratising of England’s women’s clothes. The de luxe Mayfair salons are held rigidly to the same regulations as mass-producers. There is still a small number of women ready and eager to pay seven and sometimes eight times more than the official maximum utility price for the privilege of having a garment custom-made. There is no law against that. But even Mayfair's exclusive fabrics and colors will soon disappear, because stocks are almost exhausted and manufacturers’ and dyers’ quotas, - outside of utility goods, have been reduced to the absolute minimum.

Exclusive Models Out

In addition, countless restrictions and the dearth of specialized workers make it increasingly difficult for any dressmaker to achieve “exclusive” models on anything like a large scale. Therefore, smart Lbdndon’s “collections” are no longer regarded as style pointers, but as necessary replacements or clothes for special occasions such as a wedding or men home on leave. England’s new-found dress-sense will find no outlet in seasonal

Isles this year and women are not

DEAR JANE JORDAN—We are 19 boys from a swing orchestra. We've been together for over two years and although we've had many’ heartaches and downfalls in our music we're not at our worst.

We have had a girl with us since we first started who has stuck with us through everything. She has had chances to go just a little higher but she wouldn't go without us. Now she thinks that we are wrong in asking her to stay in nights for practice. She used not to care and was happy to practice. She is a very attractive little blonde with the prettiest blue eyes. She is 19 years old but looks more like 17 because she is so little and cute,

We don't ask her to stay in every night, just two and sometimes three. We just couldn’t go on without our Ronnie as she always cheered us up so much when things would go wrong. Without her we would be lost. She says she wants to stay with us and that the band means much to her but she never cares to practice. You helped her a lot a short while ago or at least she thought you did: so please what can we do to win her heart back to the band again. When we try to talk to her hearl to heart she just gives us that lovely little smile and we're all lost again. We're at our wits end. SHE'S OUR RONNIE,

H # »

Answer: It looks as if Ronnie was getting a little bored with the band and hates to say so. When a girl is very young she finds it thrilling to be adored by ten boys- and necessary to their success in life, but after two years have been added to her age, she rather would be adored by one boy and necessary to his success. In other words, I think Ronnie is more interested in her own future than the future of the band. Can you blame her? If you want to hold her I imagine you will have to make her a better business proposition. She has played along with you for two years hoping for eventual success but it hasn't been forthcoming. You boys are willing to struggle along until you make the grade but the situation is quite different for

Is Honored With Shower

Mrs. Harold Cox recently entertained with a kitchen shower for Mrs. Jesse Workman, who was Miss Wilma Moon before her marriage May 24. The party was at Mrs. Cox’s home, 441 N. Denny st. Among the guests were Mesdames Catherine Blossom, Frances Hodges, Ruby Baker, Helen Rosebrock, Agnes Grubaugh, Almira Earls, Oldys Cox and Miss Ruth Rea and Miss Ellen Kearns. Coming from out-of-town for the party were Mrs. Mary Cagle, Mrs. Kathryn Cox and Miss Mildred Rich, all of Terre Haute, and Miss Lourene Trowbridge and Mrs. Vivian Bowen, both of Connersville. Mrs. Workman is the daughter of Mrs. Bonnie Pothast and the bridegroom is the son of Mrs, Anna ‘Brockway.

Tea Will Honor Bride-to-Be

Miss Charlotte Bruce was to be honored today at a luncheon given by Mrs. William F. Maurer in the Columbia club. Her marriage to Lt. Frederick Arthur Ryker will be at 4 o'clock the afternoon of July 8 in the Tabernacle Presbyterian church. Miss Louise Wills will give a tea for the bride-to-be Thursday afternoon in Ayres’ tearoom. Mrs. Marion B. Hudson entertained informally last night at her home for Miss Bruce. Miss Barbara Turner will be maid of honor at the wedding. Miss Bruce is the daughter of Gavin Bruce, 4526 Washington blvd. and Lt. Ryker is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Ryker, 4640 Broadway.

a young lady of marriageable age. She doesn’t want to be tied down to a band or any other sort of job at night when she might be out dating a young man. I doubt if you can duplicate the situation that existed two years ago but a new proposition, something worthwhile financially, might interest her. A real heart interest in one member of the band, yourself for example, might renew her enthusiasm. By the way, what's holding you back?

VER a period of years modern Electric appliances have lifted the yoke of household drudgery. Now in this war year, when your job as housewife is infinitely more complex, you need more than ever before the time- and work-saving assistance your Electric appliances give. Therefore, it’s essential that they be kept in use and given proper care. Keep them clean and in good working order so that for the duration they won’t go on vacation.

| Your Electric appliances are sturdily built and will give years of dependable

service if given careful attention. Follow these general suggestions on how to help make your appliances outlast the war.

Never drop Electric appliances. Don’t leave cords so appliances can he accidentally jerked to the floor.

Avoid letting spilled foods dry or harden on appliances. Clean with damp (not wet) cloth. Never, never put in water.

Oil or lubricate motor operated appliances regularly according to manufacturer's suggestions and directions.

Keep wiring in tip-top shape. Grasp plug to disconnect. As soon as lamp and ap. pliance cords become frayed or rubber insulation cracked repair at once.

When not using for some time, cover appliances with wrapping paper or cloth, Don't tinker with Electric appliances unless you know what you are doing.

At the very first sign of trouble, take your appliance—along with any broken parts—to a reliable serviceman for repairs. Don’t wait, do it before it’s too late.

Do not waste Electricity just because it is not rationed— for waste in wartime is not patriotic.
