all sopranos, but Miss Sims has de
; veloped her lower range power until
she is an outstanding alto, and Miss
Eley now takes over the contralto
parts.
Virginia Robinson, the lyric-so
! prano, spent four years with a concert
Init of the WPA. She went out with
one of their groups known as (the
"Four Ginger Snaps", which played
large theatres and concert halls, Vir
ginia was also on Broadway with Ed
Sullivan's "Cavalcade" and she sang
on a WEAF program with Ted Hus
ing. Her mother was a concert sing
er in Syracuse and Wilkes Barre. To
her young daughter she passed on
talent and an appreciation of good
music. As soon as war ends, Virgin
ia will return to the concert field.
Vivian Eley’s sister, Alice, was a
concert pianist, who communicated
to the young singer a love of the
kind of music that audiences like to
rerehber. Vivian’s talents, however,
are not all on the serious side. She
has been a member of the “Hot Mi
kado” Company that played New
York City and she has been heard on
the RKO circuit in this country. Her
stage name is “Brown Berry.’’ Miss
Eley is also known outside of the
United States. She was a great fav
orite in pre-war France, having been
booked into the famous Moulin Rouge
Cafe. American film audiences re
member her work in "The Emperor
Jones." She is a favorite at the Cot
ton Club, the Ubangi and many other
well-known nightspots. But, her
great love is what she calls “endear
ing, enduring tunes."
Margaret Sims has travelled with
the Broadway shows, "Connie’s Hot
Chocolates” and "Liza", and she was
out with the Irving C. Miller show
“Brownskin Models.’’ New Yorkers
have seen her at the Hudson Theatre
and at Daly's Sixty Third Street

Recipe follows for the shortcake.
Make your own favorite chocolate
take and make it with fortified mar

'delightful flavor. Try it! Here’s
I another idea—when you serve the
strawberries simply wash them. Do
not remove the hulls but sprinkle
berries with sugar. No cream needed.
SHRIMP MUSHROOM
SHORTCAKE
(to serve 12)
Shortcake
‘3 cups flour
1 1 teaspoon salt
, 5 teaspoons baking powder
% cup fortified margarine
1 cup milk (or more)
Make up your shortcakes ahead
of time and reheat when ready to
serve. Sift together the flour, salt
and baking powder. Cut in the
margarine until it looks like little
peas through the flour. Add milk
sufficient to make a soft but not a
sticky dough. Roll out to M inch
thick on floured bread board. Cut
12 large rounds with biscuit cutter.
Use a smaller cutter for another
12 and then a very little cutter for
the third 12. Melt a little extra
margarine and brush the tops of all
the rounds. Then put together in
triplets, the big on the bottom, next
the middle-sized one, last (and on
top) goes the third tiny one. Bake
in a moderate oven (350°F.) about
25 minutes, until each layer is well
■ baked and the tops are brown.

2 cups milk I
msr men — mm mr m . . . _
X tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
Wash the fresh shrimp and then
(without cooking) remove the
shells and the little black line (this
is an intestinal line) that goes down
the back. Simmer 5 minutes in
salted water until shrimp turns
pink. Drain. Slice the mushrooms
and brown in 4 tablespoons of the
margarine. Remove from the fry
ing pan and add mushrooms to the
shrimp. Add the remainder of the
margarine to frying pan. Melt. Add
the 6 tablespoons of flour and the
curry powder and salt. Mix to
smooth paste. Add the 3 cups milk.
Stir over low heat until sauce is
creamy thick. Pour over the mush
rooms and shrimp. Reheat before
serving. Serve between the layers
and over the top of the hot short
cakes. Garnish with watercress.
Serves 12.
HITS STIMSON
Major Ovid E. Harris, former Bat
ta'ion Comander in the 184th Field
Atillery Regiment, who last week re
pudiated Secretary of War Henry L.
S’iriison's charge that many Negro
units “have been unable to master the
techniques of modern weapons,” of
which the aboxe regiment (formerly
th • 8th) was one of the units men
tioned in the charge. The Major.
now on the inactive list, sent his let
ter to the President of the United
States and Mr. Stimson. Among th;
many things he said was that the 164
t’- Kegiment had the highest I. Q. rat
ing of any Army units known to the
o' ficers of the 5th Infantry division,
and said it was both amazing and
shoeing to find the Sec etarv of
War's signatlre placed over so gross
a misstatement of facts. (PPS)
3 HAMPTON ASTP
TRAINEES TO YALE
Hampton Institute, Va.,-■-Three
trainees from the Army Specialized
Program at the Institute have been
assigned to the ASTP. at Yale Uni
] versity, for pre-medical and pre-den
Theatre. She made one movie short
for Warner Brothers, “Yamacraw”.
She has done more European travel
ing than either of her present singing
associates, having appeared in Eng
land, Germany, Switzerland, Den
mark and Russia. Someday when the
war is over, she will make this tour
again. Lige the other members of
the Dixiana Trio, Margaret Sims has
a direct inheritance from show busi
ness. Her alnt was a professional
dancer, and from her Margaret learn
ed ballroom and soft-shoe routines.
The girls dress alike for their act,
either in pink or black formals with
very full skirts and dainty tulle bod
ices. “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”,
is one of their most popular request
numbers. So is “Five Guys Named
Moe”, written for them by Donald
Heywood.
On its current CAMP SHOWS
trip, the Dixiana Trio is not only
singing at Army camps and Naval in
j stallations but visits hospitals where
ever travel schedules permit, entertain
ing men who have been wounded in
battle in Europe and the South Pac
ific, and who, doctors fini, recover
more quickly when their long hours
of convalescing are made less tedious
by the contributions of concert art
ists like these.

ELECT A BUSINESS MAN TO CARRY ON YOUR
BUSINESS AS DIRECTOR OF THE
UTILITIES DISTRICT
Mr. Gus H. Nelson is a Candidate on the Republican ticket j
for Director of the Metropolitan Utilities District.
Mr. Nelson has never aspired to any public office in the
past; however, we feel that he possesses the necessary qualifica
tions for this important office due to the fact that he has
operated a large business successfully for the past thirty years.
As you know, the Metropolitan Utilities District is a large
Corporation with an investment of over $25,000,000.00, owned
and operated by the people of Omaha and as such it must elect
successful business men as directors.
Mr. Nelson organized the G. H. Nelson Paint Company in
1914 and has served as its President since it was incorporated.
He also organized the United Mineral Products Company
some ten years ago and is now serving as President of this
corporation which is now shipping hundreds of carloads of
its products to various sections of Nebraska and surrounding
States.
He has been a taxpayer and property owner for thirty
years, has been successful in business, is honest and conscien
tious and deserves the vote of every taxpayer for this impor
tant office.

The Most Popular
Coffee Sells Out first
So many people ask for Butter-N'ut
Coffee now that it keeps us hustling to fi*l
orders. Sometimes your grocer sells out
his stock before his. new order arrives.
That's because Butter-Nut is so popular,
and because during war time we can't get
equipment to expand our capacity. It's
even hard ot get shipping cartons enough.
If your grocer is out once in a while he
will have a new shipment soon, so keep on
asking for Butter-Nut and get the very best
*Wise Chinese!
Five thousand years ago the Chinese found a
food that gave them greater strength and endur
ance—Soyabeans. Only in the last few years
have people in this country started eating the
wonderful soya foods.
Most delicious of them all is Soyawlieat—half
selected portions of wheat and half specially pro
cessed portions of soyabeans. It is not a flour,
but a coarsely-ground meal. Makes a delicious
breakfast cereal and when mixed into your bak
ing it gives things a tasty, nut-like
quality. Recipes on each package.
Soyawlieat, the miracle food of j
modem nutrition, is distributed
