HERE’S TO BUTTERY FINGERS AND A TAFFY PULL
(See Recipes Below)
CHILDREN’S DELIGHT
If you want your children and
their friends to give you a rating
oi super, men
give just one par
ty for children
alone, and make
that party a good,
old-fashioned taf
fy pull. Think
r back a moment
and remember
how you looked
forward to a taffy pull just as much
as going to a circus.
This party is exciting fun because
the children have a chance to help
in the making of refreshments. Yes,
pulling taffy with their fingers all
buttered, and watching the dark
candy mixture get lighter and light
er each time it’s pulled. They’ll like
this too, because a taffy pull isn’t a
fussy party. When you send out
the invitations, let the mothers know
it’s a taffy party so the children will
be dressed accordingly. u
Unlike many foods which are iron
sources, molasses when cooked does
not lose its iron content
If possible use a candy thermom
eter to test the candy so It will be
cooked just right neither too stiff
nor too messy to handle. When
the candy is cool enough, cut it
just the right size for small hands.
The piece should be large enough
to work on, but not too large. When
the piece is light tan and very stiff,
pull into a long strip and cut
Molasses Taffy.
2 cups pure New Orleans molasses
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vinegar
Ys teaspoon vanilla, if desired
% cup water
k Cook the molasses, sugar and wa
ter in a heavy kettle slowly until
the mixture reaches 260 degrees or
until a little of the mixture dropped
in cold water becomes brittle. Stir
a little during the latter part of the
boiling to prevent burning; pour into
a buttered pan. When cool enough
to handle, cut in pieces and pull un
til light and stiff. Butter the hands
before pulling:
Refreshments can be simple for a
taffy party, for children will be so
excited about the
taffy, they won’t
give their best at
tention to elabo
rate dishes. As
sorted sand
wiches will fill
the bill perfectly
and a hot choco
late milk drmk will take care of
their keen, lusty appetites. As des
sert you might have simple cup
cakes iced with pink and chocolate
icing, fruit, and of course, the taffy.
If you’d rather give them a hot
dish in place of the sandwiches,
here’s a simple but elegant one:
Millionaire Gold.
(Serves 8)
2 egg yolks
V4 cup flour
Vfc teaspoon mustard
1% teaspoons salt
3 cups milk
Vi pound American cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound mushrooms
LYNN SAYS:
Stop food wastes. Not only is
| this a matter of thrift but also a
vital step in conserving this coun
try’s resources. It is estimated
that tiny food wastes total up to
a tremendous amount.
Wise shopping will prevent buy
ing unwanted and not usable
food. The wise shopper should
also recognize between good and
poor grades, by reading labels
and markings, and by watching
the scales.
Poor cooking causes much
waste. Meat, for instance, shrinks
when cooked at too high a tem
perature. Vitamins and minerals
are lost when cooked too long
or when air is stirred into them
while cooking. Use short meth
rods for cooking whenever possi
ble.
THIS WEEK’S MENU
•Chop Suey, Rice or Noodles
Bean Sprouts
Apricot-Cream Cheese Salad
Bran Bread
Orange Chiffon Pie
Tea Coffee Milk
•Recipe Given
4 tablespoons butter
8 slices buttered toast
18 slices crisp bacon
Beat egg yolks, add flour, mus
tard, salt and paprika. Mix well.
Add H cup milk gradually and stir
until smooth. Put mixture in dou
ble boiler, add rest of milk, and
cheese, cubed. Cook until thick,
add Worcestershire sauce. Wash,
slice, and saute mushrooms, slowly.
Place mushrooms on toast and pour
cheese mixture over them. Garnish
with bacon.
Although the taffy pull will be the
main event of the party be sure to
have games planned to fill out the
evening. Quiz games are popular and
lists for these can be made up be
forehand using questions on slogans,
famous personalities, historical
events, interesting facts, and rid
dles as questions.
Children will want some lively
fun too, and for this you can have a
sack race. The leaders of two lines
of players are given two large pa
per sacks. They place the sacks on
their feet and at a signal run to
the opposite goal and back, take off
the sack and give it to the person
next to them. The object is to see
which line finishes first.
• • #
Speaking of children, are you hav
ing a time with their school lunches?
Variety is the big problem for
packing a complete meal in one
small box is hard
to vary and does
n't have as many
possibilities as
the table at
home. Having at
least one hot food
helps loads, and
put this in the
thermos bottle.
You can have
cream soups, vegetable soups, then
again hot milk drinks for variety.
Sandwiches are a standby, but
don't get into a rut with these. Don't
have soggy fillings. Wrap each one
separately in wax paper. Favorite
fillings include:
Peanut butter and Jelly
Chopped meat mixed with may
onnaise and relish
Chopped hard-cooked eggs with
bacon
Cheese and luncheon meats
Vegetable salad sandwiches
Flaked fish with celery, lettuce
Chopped figs or dates, nuts,
moistened with orange juice
Color peps up the lunch box, so
occasionally pack a salad in a pa
per container. Use fresh fruits of
ten, or canned ones also packed in
small glass or paper containers.
Cornstarch puddings are attractive
and nourishing, and simple cookies
wrapped in wax paper will bring
cheers from any child.
Economy is highlighted these
days, but it needn’t be dull if you
use attractively garnished platters.
*Chop Suey or Chow Mein.
(Serves 6)
V4 cup butter or shortening
2% cups cooked meat, cut in strips
lVi cups onions, cut fine
1 teaspoon salt
y« teaspoon pepper
1 can bean sprouts, drained
2Vi cups celery, cut fine
1 cup hot water
For thickening and flavoring:
% cup cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
Melt butter, add onions, fry for 3
minutes. Add celery, salt, pepper,
hot water, cover and cook for 5 min
utes. Add bean sprouts and meat,
mix and bring to a boil. Combine
thickening and flavoring ingredients,
add to first mixture. Cook 5 min
utes. Serve hot with Chinese noo
dies for Chow Mein, or with steam
mg rice for Chop suey. Garnisl
platter with thin strips of fried eg*
and green onions if desired.

Ingenious Device for
Detecting Heart Disease
Dr. Isaac Starr of the University
of Pennsylvania recently told the
National Academy of Sciences,
meeting in Philadelphia, about an
ingenious device: A balancing
table, called the "ballistocardio
graph.” A bed-size table is sus
pended from the ceiling on wires,
three feet above the floor. While a
patient lies quietly, the table os
cillates back and forth to the throb
of his heart
When his heart contracts it
throws a load of blood forward
toward his head. "For the same
reason that a discharged gun kicks
one in the shoulder,” said Dr. Starr,
"the recoil throws the body feet
ward.” An instant later, when
the blood strikes the aortic arch
(curve in large heart artery), "(the
blood’s) headward movement is ar
rested, creating an impact which
throws the body and the table head
ward.”
A normal man pumps about 14
quarts of blood a minute, moves
the bed back and forth about 16 one
thousandths of an inch with every
heartbeat Connected to a powerful
spring at the foot of the table is a
tiny mirror. The mirror amplifies
this motion 8,000 times. The mag
nified motion is recorded on a mov
ing photographic film.
Because the jellylike tissues trem
ble for a brief instant after every
"blow” from the heart, after-vibra
tions warp part of the record.
Hence Dr. Starr believes that his
machine will never attain "highest
precision.” Nevertheless it is good
enough to: (1) detect early, hitherto
invisible cases of heart disease; (2)
show the relation between high
blood pressure and heart function;
(3) differentiate between various
types of heart disease.
Heart Disease May Rest
With the Adrenal Gland
A new clue to the cause of heart
disease, found in three of man's
commonest hormones, was reported
to the American Association for the
Advancement of Science by Dr. Wil
liam Raab of the University of Ver
mont college of medicine.
This clue offers possibilities for
learning how to prevent some of the
serious heart disorders.
Evidence that many people with
bad hearts live to ripe old ages, con
trary to common belief, was pre
sented in another report made by
Dr. Louis Faugeres Bishop, Belle
vue hospital, New York city. He
cites cases even of the much dread
ed coronary thrombosis living for
many years and doing useful work.
The heart disease hormones are
two from the adrenal glands and one
from the thyroid.
The main offender appears to be
adrenalin, which is commonly known
as the energy hormone, the stuff that
spreads quickly through the body in
a fright. Along with the energy hor
mone is one from the cortex, or cov
ering, of the adrenal glands, which
seems tn be present as a complica
tion.
The thyroid hormone enters as a
sort of ringmaster, which occasion
ally eggs on the energy hormone to
do its worst.
Squash Borer Difficult
Insect to Discourage
A year or so ago a writer in one
of our prominent horticulturist jour
nals recommended dipping corncobs
in hot tar and placing the cobs, when
cool, around infested plants.
A method used by old, experienced
gardeners is to place shingles
around the plants at night, the idea
being that the insects gather under
the boards, which can be lifted in
the morning when the bugs are still
inactive. It is well to examine the
underside of the leaves of infested
plants, for on these shaded surfaces
we usually find egg clusters. These
must be rubbed off immediately.
Cabbage worms will, in a short!
time, be arriving in great numbers. I
White hellebore applied freely over
the surface of the leaves is effective
in controlling these crawlers. Pyre
thrum, tobacco dust or even ordi
nary road dust, sprinkled into the
plant, usually helps in eradicating
these pests. One very large com
mercial grower said that he depend
ed entirely on road dust to keep his
cabbage patch free from worms.
The squash borer is a difficult in
sect to destroy or even to discour
age, the reason being that the grubs
tunnel their way through the stem
of the plant, preventing the normal
flow of nourishment to the leaves.
As a result of the activities of the
squash bug, the leaves gradually
wither and die. *
The eggs and freshly hatched lar
vae can be destroyed by applica
tions of nicotine sprays. Of course,
one application will have little ef
fect on the bugs, but constant spray
ing, especially when applied with
a forceful syringe, will have the de
sired effect. Pyrethrum, which is
non-poisonous, may also be used to
destroy the eggs and freshly hatched
larvae of these destructive pests.
New Caledonia Gains
Strategic Importance
Until German panzer units
smashed France last year. New Cal
edonia was merely a French island,
700 miles of? the northeast coast of
Australia, 248 miles long by 30 miles
wide, populated by some 60,000 peo
ple, mostly Negroes.
But the fall of France gave New
Caledonia a strategic importance. It
is rich in vital war minerals—nickel,
chrome and iron. Japan is eyeing
the island, well aware of its prox
imity to Australia—only five hours
flying time.
There have been reports of Jap
anese military and commercial in
filtration. New Caledonia would
make a splendid nival base and
with Vichy apparently controlled by
the Axis, anything can happen.
There are mountain ranges encir
cling the capital of Noumea. Here
hibiscus, crotons, poincianas, lan
tanas, and guava bushes grow in
abundance.
Noumea is also the site of the
nickel works of New Caledonia.
The citizens are anti-Petain, pro
De Gaulle. They wanted to send an
expeditionary force of 500 to fight
the Germans in France, but the
British command prevailed upon
them to keep the men at home for
island defense.

Pumping Out Mines
Pumping out mines—especially tin
mines in Cornwall—was the chief in
centive that gave birth to the steam
engine. First one whs developed by
Captain Savery in 1698. Extrava
gant use of fuel made it imprac
tical. Next came Newcomen’s en
gine. with cylinder and piston, in
1702. It was while repairing a mod
el of this engine that James Watt
made improvements that resulted in
the modern steam engine. Watt’s
persistence in Anally discovering
how the cylinder could be bored to
the tolerance of ‘‘a worn farthing”
made steam power available for
driving all kinds of mechanism and
brought in the factory system and
the industrial revolution.
Testing Pillows
Now for those pillows! To begin
with, are they really clean? Quite
possibly after summer’s heat, per
spiration, use of cosmetics and in
sect repellent salves, etc.—the
casings are really soiled. But what
of the inner fillings—the feathers
which make up the average pillow?
Here’s where you may like to try
the "droop test” on bed pillows:
If you’re in doubt about their age,
and if it droops badly, and sags, or
seems like a sack of metal in the bot
tom of the case, then—out with it
—that pillow is “dated"!
Stove on Proper Level
You can raise your cooking stove
to the proper height for working by
setting the legs on neat blocks of
wood. Another method which some
women find even better is to build a
platform for the stove. Do you
know how to And out what is the
most convenient working height for
yourself at stove, ironing board and
sink? There are two methods. For
the first one, stand up straight and
hang the arms straight down; the
palms of the hands should rest flat i
upon the working surface. If not,
the equipment should be raised untii
this requirement is met. The other
method is to stand straight, bend j
the elbow, allowing a slight slant 1
of the arm downward.

Mountain Town Sliding
Canon City, Colo., is slipping.
That is not a reflection on its
character, but an actual fact. This
mountain town is sliding gradually
to the south and east—directly
toward the Arkansas river.
At least that is the finding of
Water Commissioner Fred Brackner
and of Acting Manager Smith Bedell
of the Canon Gas company.
There is no need for this genera
tion—or even this generation’s
grandchildren—to worry. They’ll
be long dead before any great con
cern need be shown. Bedell and
Brackney said.

Children’s Taste Keener
There are tiny areas on the
tongue, known as “taste-buds,”
which are linked with the brain by
special nerves. These nerves are
stimulated when we eat and drink,
and they convey to the brain sen
sations which give rise to the
sense of taste.
A young child has over 300 of
these taste-buds on his tongue,
but as his age increases a propor
tion of the taste-buds cease to be
sensitive. After the age of 20 no
more than a hundred are “active.”
Because a child has three times
as many taste-buds as an adult his
sense of taste is three times as
keen. That is why sweets, fruit,
and so on, appeal to him.
It is also the reason why chil
dren dislike most medicines; they
are three times as unpleasant to
them as they are to adults!
