BREAD TRICKS APLENTY!
(See Recipes Below)
•BREAD *N* BUTTER*
Those new loaves of white bread
featured on grocery store counters
and in bakeries
everywhere these
days look just
like the loaves of
white bread you
have been buying
for years. But
they’re different—they’ve been "vita
mineralized.’’
‘‘How?’’ you ask. Through the
use of enriched flour—a wheat flour
which contain! added vitamins and
minerals.
It was the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the United States depart
ment of agriculture which suggest
ed, when flour standards here were
under discussion, that fortified flour
should contain a specified amount
of vitamin B1 and of iron, and that
nicotinic acid, riboflavin and calci
um should be added.
Because American dietaries lack
chiefly B-vitamins and iron, the ac
cent was placed here. The law is
that each pound of Enriched Flour
must contain at least 1.66 milli
grams of thiamin (Bl); 6.15 milli
grams of nicotinic acid (pellagra
preventing vitamin); and 6.15 milli
grams of iron.
So, now in addition to being the
most versatile and economical en
ergy-yielding food, bread also pro
vides, in economical form, addition
al nutrients essential to health.
And, since bread is the one food
that probably appears more often
than any other on the family menu.
I'm going to give you a variety of
new and interesting uses for this
"health food."
A good sharp knife, a loaf of good
baker's bread and your imagination
will do wonders in developing, in
your own kitchen, delicious crea
tions that make your menus full of
new life and interest
Bread Buttercups.
Remove the crusts from a loaf of
uncut bread. Cut lengthwise slices I
from the loaf. Trim the slices so
that they are about 1% inches wide
and the ends pointed. Brush with
an egg and milk mixture and ar
range in baking cups. It is best to
brush the tips with a little melted
butter so that they will brown more
readily. Bake the bread buttercups
In a moderate oven until they are
delicately browned.
Pinwheel Sandwiches.
Trim the crusts from a whole loaf
of uncut bread; cut in lengthwise
slices. Spread the slices with any
desired spread of a creamy consis
tency. Roll the bread firmly the
narrow way. Small stuffed olives,
nut meats or hard cooked eggs
make an attractive center for the
roll. The rolls should be tightly
wrapped in waxed paper and chilled
In the refrigerator before slicing.
Croustades.
Trim crusts from two or three
slices of bread, making even-size
squares. Remove the centers from
LYNN SAYS:
Do your menus meet nutritive
requirements, and appetite ap
peal, too? Careful, now. Here
are 10 points on which to check
your meals for appetite appeal:
1. Avoid repeating the same
food in one meal.
2. Avoid serving more than one
strongly flavored or highly sea
soned food in a meal.
3. Avoid using too much of one
type of food in a meal—such as
spaghetti as a main dish and rice
pudding for dessert.
4. Use as much texture con
trast as possible—have some soft,
some solid, and some crisp food
in each meal.
5. Get flavor balance in your
menus by serving some sweet,
some bland, and some acid foods
each meaL
6. Serve some hot and some
cold foods each meal.
7. Serve foods whose colors look
well together and avoid serving
colorless foods in one meal.
8. Try to get contrast in size
and shape in the foods served.
0. Serve leftovers in a new
form.
10. Avoid serving the same food
combinations too often. Serve
some other tart fruit with your
pork, instead of the stand-by ap
plesauce.
It’s Picnic Time

all but one slice. Dip in melted
butter, and put together to form
square cases for creamed food.
Bread Patty Cases.
Cut three rounds of sliced bread.
Cut holes in two of them and place
on the first slice. Brush with a mix
ture of egg and milk (1 egg slight
ly beaten plus % cup of milk) and
bake in a moderate oven until
brown.
Checkerboard Sandwiches.
Remove the crusts and spread
the slices with soft butter, and any
sandwich spread of paste consis
tency. Then, alternating the slices,
make two stacks of three slices each
-—one with a whole wheat slice be
tween two white slices and the other
with a white slice between two whole
wheat slices. Next, cut the two
stacks into half-inch slices. Spread
with soft butter and another flavor
spread, and alternate them again,
making stacks of three-layer slices
each. Press the stacks together,
wrap each in wax paper and place
in icebox to harden the butter. When
ready to serve, cut crosswise into
thin slices to give the checkerboard
effect
Ribbon Sandwiches.
Remove the crusts from four
slices of bread, two white and two
whole wheat. Put them together
with different fillings, wrap in waxed
paper and chill. Cut down through
the four layers in thin slices to form
a ribbon sandwich.
Try these tricks
very soon, won’t
you?
You’ll receive
no end of compli
ments on your
ability to prepare
these tasty and
attractive "bread
delights." They are pictured at the
top of the column.
If you're weary of serving the
usual type of sandwiches when you
entertain, here are “fillers” that will
bring such phrases as “May I have
your recipe?” from fascinated
guests.
Egg Filling.
4 hard cooked eggs
Vi cu chopped cooked bacon or
Vi cup stuffed olives
Few drops Worcestershire sauce
Cream or salad dressing
Chop eggs, add bacon and Wor
cestershire sauce. Add enough
cream or dressing to give a spread
ing consistency.
Ripe Olive Filling.
Use one cup ripe olives, minced;
one cup finely diced celery; Vi cup
minced nut meats, and salad dress
ing to taste. Combine olives, celery
and nutmeats and moisten with
dressing, then spread on bread.
Sandwich Loaf.
Trim crusts from a sandwich loaf
of bread and cut in four lengthwise
slices. Spread each slice with soft
ened butter. For the three different
fillings necessary, use any good
combinations of flavor and color,
such as minced ham and pickle, a
yellow cheese mixed with finely
chopped green pepper, chives, pars
ley or watercress, and chopped to
matoes and cucumbers, or a tuna
or salmon mixture. Each of these
fillings should be mixed with may
onnaise or softened butter so that
it spreads easily. The loaf may be
made several hours ahead of time
if wrapped in waxed paper and kept
in a cool place. Prior to serving,
it is iced on top,
sides and ends
with cream
cheese scftened
to spreading con
sistency with wa
ter, milk or may
onnaise. Garnish
with slices of
stuffed olive, sprigs of parsley or
endive. For serving, cut in thick
slices. This loaf will serve 10 to
12 persons.

WHO’S
NEWS
THIS
WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
NEW YORK.—Back in the days
of Sockless Jerry Simpson and
the Populists and the rock-and-sock
battle between Wall Street and the
,.r . n Corn Belt,
It Come, to Pan— there was a
Banker, Pick a prairie heal
_ , . . er and evan
Farmer to Lead gelist named
Slater who scolded the farmers for
their intemperate talk about the New
York bankers, and said that when
the millennium came they would be
brothers again.
The evangelist might have been
locked up had he predicted that
within four or five decades the board
of directors of the New York Stock
exchange would hire an Illinois
farmer, with no experience in se
curities dealing, to be president of
the exchange.
These things came to pass, in the
Rev. Mr. Slater’s scriptural par
lance. By unanimous vote of the
board of governors, the $48,000-a
year exchange job is offered to Emil
Schram, operator of the Hartwell
Farms at Hillview, 111., and head
of the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration since July, 1039. As this is
written there is word from Washing
ton that Mr. Schram will accept the
post.
The tall, baldish, urbane, deep
voiced Mr. Schram has been es
teemed in Washington for his bi
lingual accomplishments. It has
been noted that he can talk to New
Dealers and business men in their
own language.
Under the tutelage of Jesse
Jones, who brought him into the
RFC, and whom he succeeded as
Us head, he has served not only
as a liaison between business and
government, but between agri
cultural and industrial interests.
Shrewd onlookers in Wall Street
are Interpreting his call to the
big board as a protective meas
ure by the governors. The idea
is that he might be a shock ab
sorber as war tension brings
more governmental regulation.
Of the third generation of German
immigrants, Emil Schram finished
high school in Peru, Ind., and took
a job as a roustabout and handy
man in J. O. Cole's lumber and coal
yard.
By the time he was twenty-one, he
was the bookkeeper for the business.
Several years later, his employer
took over 5,000 acres of swamp land
on the Illinois river. He assigned
his young bookkeeper the job of
draining and developing the large
tract of land.
Within a few years, the yield from
the land was run up from 6,000
- , n bushels of
Schram Prove. corn per
Expert in Work year, to 140,
d i *• 00°- with
Of Reclamation other crop
increases in proportion. Young Mr.
Schram acquired a substantial inter
est in the project, which became
the Hartwell Land trust. Twenty
tenant farmers have been on the
reclaimed land for more than 25
years.
Mr. Schram’s first contacts
with the federal government
came in later years as he be
came active in community
drainage and reclamation proj
ects, requiring federal co-opera
tion. As chairman of the board
of directors of the National
Drainage association, he had
dealings with the Hoover ad
ministration, when the Illinois
river was messing up farm
lands in this vicinity, and loans
for flood control and reclama
tion were needed. The astute
Jesse Jones made him chairman
of the drainage, levee and Ir
rigation division of the RFC.
He later was a swing man in va
rious government activities, includ
ing the presidency of the Home and
Farm authority, a TVA subsidiary.
He made it pay. Recently Edward
R. Stettinius “drafted” him as as
sistant priorities administrator, to
allocate raw materials for defense
purposes.
Mr. Schram is 48 years old, the
grandson of a woodworker. He is
a Democrat, but he has never been
active in politics, and has never
been a candidate for office.
William M. Martin Jr., the “boy
president” of the Stock exchange,
whom Mr. Schram will succeed, quit
his lucrative job for $21 a month
as a private in the army. His term
of office had been a good invest
ment, but not solely because of the
$48.000-a-year salary To take the
exchange presidency, he had to sell
| his seat, for several hundred thou
j sand dollars. Today's sales of ex
change seats at $20,000, the lowest
since 1898, reveal young Mr. Martin
; as having played in luck, regard
less of salary. Much of the same to
Mr. Schram.

WASHINGTON.—War with binocu
lars, instead of guns, is one way that
appeals to President Roosevelt in
describing the 2,000-mile patrol—the
fact that American warcraft will
patrol the Atlantic to a distance of
2,000 miles from the American shore
and report the presence of any Nazi
planes, submarines or raiders they
may see.
Its tremendous importance is ap
preciated by the British. One
prominent figure here pointed out
that examination of detailed figures
of shipping losses discloses that
most of the sinkings by submarines
and aircraft have occurred on the
British side of an imaginary line
down the Atlantic halfway between
the two shores, whereas most of the
sinkings by raiders were on the
American side of that line. He also
pointed out that location of raiders
presents a much more difficult prob
lem than location of submarines.
News of raiders' sinkings does not
usually reach the admiralty until
days or weeks after the event,
sometimes longer than that. Most
of the raiders are fast, and quite
capable of being thousands of miles
from some scene of any given opera
tion before the British hear of it
But with American patrols telling
the world by wireless every time
they see a raider, a comparatively
small number of British warships
would obviously be much more ef
fective. They would know instantly
that a German raider, for example,
was at a precise spot. The probable
course of the raider in flight from
the American patrol could be cal
culated, and her exact strength
would be known. So that if it was
a pocket battleship, as in the case
of the Graf Spee, a battle cruiser
could start in pursuit, whereas if it
was a converted merchantman a
small cruiser would be ample.
But it might and probably will go
further than that. Nof only might
the American patrol give the lo
cation of the raider as of that first
moment of sighting it, but it might
easily follow the German raider,
continuing to give its position.
This task is not as spectacular as
it seems to some headline writers,
yet it is tremendously important, for
there is no doubt that the number of
U. S. craft in this “patrol” will be
increased constantly so long as any
Nazi raiders remain in the Atlantic.

Farm Paymente
May Be Reduced
It’s too soon to begin worrying,
if you are a farmer growing wheat,
cotton, com, tobacco or rice, but
there is a school of thought which,
should it happen to appeal strongly
to congress at some stage of this
war, may cost all of you, collec
tively, around a billion dollars a
year.
The point is that under the present
agricultural policy, about that
amount is paid each year to the
farmers who grow—or have stopped
growing—those “basic” commodi
ties. Actually the word “basic,”
sound as it may seem to the average
citizen, is a bit humorous if one
considers money values.
For example, total receipts from
cash sales of tobacco were $241,000.
000; cotton, $677,000,000; all grains,
including wheat, corn, rice, soy
beans, rye, barley and oats, only
$995,000,000.
But meat animals, not a “basic”
agricultural commodity within the
meaning of the law, reached nearly
$2,500,000,000—more than all the
“basic” commodities put together.
Of course, it will occur to any
critic that much of this huge sum
realized from meat animals was
com and oats and other grains con
sumed by those animals, and NOT
included in the cash sales of the
grains. Even with this in mind,
however, the figures are rather star
tling.
Dairy Products Important.
Then there is the fact that dairy
products brought in cash sales of
more than $1,500,000,000—more than
50 per cent in excess of all grains.
Here again, obviously, the cows ate
a lot of grain, part of which did not
figure in the cash sales.
The fact that cash sale figures are
being talked around Washington, in
an effort to show that the “basic”
agricultural products are a joke, is
all the more interesting because
of this curious lack of consideration
given to the value of grain fed to
animals to produce meat or dairy
products.
All of which has a bearing on the
present tax situation, because soon
er or later there is going to be a
terrific outcry from the country for
non-defense spending to be cut.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau Jr. has already made
some suggestions to congress with
respect to the wisdom of cutting
some farm payments. Nobody has
taken it seriously, so far, but the
germ is there, and agitation is at
work for a big cut.
