For Thanksgiving .
Iowa Foods Instructor
Suggests Turkey Stuffing
... 0 New Combinations
AMES, la., Nov. 25 People
may disagree on that portion of
turkey anatomy they prefer at
the Thanksgiving table, but prob
ably every member of the family
agrees about stuffing.
And Mrs. Elfriede F. Brown of
the Foods and Nturition Depart
ment at Iowa State college says
that the fact opens up new ave
nues for surprises in turkey cook
ery. The first Thanksgiving turkeys
were stuffed with wild rice, ap
ples or corn, she says. Then in
novations were introduced. Today
anything from nuts to oysters may
fill the gobbler, with sausage,
bread crumbs, apple stuffing and
many others just as tasty.
Ingenuity is the keynote for all
stuffing, suggests Mrs. Brown.
The enterprising homemaker may
even cater to known stuffing
tastes by filling one stuffable spot
with one kind, the second with an
other. Beliefs as to certain "moist"

Journalist 'Betty' Hughes Considers
Intangibles' Reward of Newswriting
By Lloydene Kershaw.
Elizabeth Hughes, former Ne
braska student now with the
World-Herald, is one of those "fe
male journalists" a distinction
that in itself lends her a certain
amount of the extraordinary, but
in addition she is a darn good
sports writer! Versatile as she is
clever, however, Miss Hughes also
writes society, features, inter
views, and straight news stories.
And does as good a job at one as
another.
Born in Ravenna, Neb., Miss
Hughes was virtually brought up
in the office of a weekly newspa
per belonging to her uncle.
She came to the university to
school after receiving a regent's

and "dry" parts of turkey meat
may be satisfied by filling the
turkey with both moist and dry
stuffings.
Ever a matter of personal pref
erence, there is always room for
new combinations. For instance, a
Swedish stuffing combines chopped
celery and dates in the recipe. A
tangy fruit stuffing calls for diced
apples and peeled and chopped
oranges, another includes cooked
dried fruits as prunes and apri
cots. In the line of a stuffing starter,
corn meal baked and then crum
bled is never as soggy as bread
crumbs often are.
To keep the family guessing,
Mrs. Brown would have you make
the seasonings subtle and elusive.
The often used sausage stuffing
takes on a new flavor when thyme
is used for seasoning. Along with
powdered sage and celery seed,
don't forget the modest onion can
become a most effective addition
to bread stuffings.

what she wanted to become. She
was interested in journalism, it is
true, but she was by no means one

who start right in taking all the

fact, during all the time she was
in school (three years) she took
only six hours of courses in jour

She didn't work on the Daily

Of Ingenious Plans in Band Formations
Don Lentz Directs Marches on Relief Map
In a room on the second floor
of the school of music is a huge
relief map, three by five feet. Sev
eral men are pondering over it,
moving about 100 pins marked in
some kind of strange code here
and there on its surface.
This might be the antics of some
army's general staff planning its
battle strategy, but it isn't This

More Than a Week.
Most of the people in the sta
dium wonder how, in a week's
time, band shows can be prepared.
But the show that football crowds
see on Saturday is the result of a
lot of effort and a lot of time,
much mere than one week. Here's
how:
During the summer, Director
Don Lentz drafts the general con
tinuity for the coming season. Cen
tral themes and appropriate mu
sic are selected.
At the beginning of the year
for the Awgwan. Moreover tne
last year she was in school Miss
Hughes took courses "just for
fun" and declares that she en
joyed herself most that year in
the university.
After three years of school Miss
Hughes "got tired of it" and de
cided that it was high time she
got a job so she decided to take
a stab at merchandising. "But I
can't sell anything," said Miss
Hughes, with a ruful smile. So
she proceeded to land a job with
the Herald. "I talked my way into
it," she confessed. At first she did
general society here but shortly
after this the Herald Bureau was
opened in Lincoln, and she has
been with them ever since.
Reward Is Intangible.
"A lot of the reward in news
paper work is in intangibles ii
you are interested in people you
can have an awful lot of fun. As
far "as a job goes I commend it
to anyone who thinks they would
like it.
Actually, however, the kind of
drama you see so much in the
movies, amounts to very little
One of the compensations is that
you get to meet such a lot of peo
ple that you wouldn't get to meet
otherwise unless you had a lot of
money or something." Of the peo
pie she has interviewed (and there
have been a great number) Miss
Hughes especially liked William
Seabrook, Mrs. Roosevelt. Jose
Iturbi, Lawrence Tibbett, Mrs,
Wendell Willkie, and Orsen Welles,
"My favorite stinker is Dale
Carnegie," she emphatically de
clared. Of Mrs. Roosevelt, she
Bald, "She has as much charm and
as definite a personality as any
one I have ever met"
Speaking of definite characteris
tics, Miss Hughes has one. She
admits that she likes to talk bet
ter than anything else and pro'
ceeds to do it. But Its not the
empty prattle of so many "talk
ers" and she intrigues you with
ner witty loquaciousness.
She's Inherently Lazy.
Miss Hughes declares that she
is inherently lazy, but that seems
a paradox for she turns out an
amazing amount of copy for the
World-Herald, as anyone who
reads it knows from the great
number of stories with "By Elis-
aDetn Hugnes" over them.
Her pet gripe, Incidentally Is
having her first name spelled with
a z rather than an s. "Not that it
makes a lot of difference I guess,
she said, "because practically
everyone calls me Betty, but I
Buppose I'm like most other news
paper people I hate to have my
name misspelled in a by-line."

which this year will mark the 42nd
anniversary of the continents
largest annual agricultural show,
the International Livestock Ex
position and Horse Show. Bruce
Tracy will cover the event for the
Nebraskan.
The 1941 exposition will be held
from Nov. 29 to Dec. 6 in Chicago's
huge international amphitheatre
and will overthrow a large area of
the adjoining stock yards,, where
hundreds of carloads of choice
cattle, sheep and swine will be dis
played. Exhibits From 37 States.
Officials of the exposition an
nounce that entries have thus far
been received from prospective
exhibitors in 37 states and 4
Canadian provinces, the largest
number of states thus far repre
sented. Purebred and flocks will
be soon enroute to Chicago from
such distances as California, Ore
gon and Washington on the west
to nearly all of the Atlantic sea
board states on the east, and from
Canada to Texas.
All past records have been
broken in the number of entries
of baby beeves, lambs and pigs
that will be shown this year by
544 farm boys and girls from 17
states In the junior classes of the
exposition. They will exhibit 825
head of steers, lambs and pigs of
their own raising, an increase by
a wide margin over any past
year.
Because of the unprecedented
size of the fat cattle entry at the
coming show, it is announced that
two judges will officiate in place

in the rank and in the file of thei
band. For example, the first man
in the first rank is labeled A-l.
The real work of placing each
man in a formation is done with,
the three by five miniature field.
A nail marker, one for each man,
is placed on the board. On the
field, Lentz, with the aid of key
band members, figures out the po
sition of each man during every
minute or the show. Then the
marching is set to appropriate mu
sic, an extremely difficult job,
since' it means counting the steps
each man must take in order to
get into his proper place in
cadence with the music.
Plans Completed Weeks Before.
All this is done weeks before the
show. Then the job of the indi
vidual band members begins. To
each of the bandsmen two mimeo
graphed formations are given. One
of these describes and pictures the
complete display; the other de
scribes the movements and direc
tions of march for each man. Be
sides learning his position in the
various movements, every man
must also memorize about five
pieces of music each week which'
is no easy job.
Most bands break into their
formations by the most direct
route, that is, each man merely
marches to his assigned place. All
UN band movements are done in
column or file movements with
precision motion. What is even
more rare is to find a band which
plays during its entire perform
ance, and always from memory
There are probably not more than
six college bands in the nation
which play continuously during the
display and move in precise mo
tion. So football fans don't see the
whole story. They witness a fin
ished product, the result of many
months of work. And because of
the effort expended by Lentz and
each bandsman, they witness one
of the finest of the country's
marching bands.
W. L. Carlyle, manager of the Al
berta ranch, owned by the former
Prince of Wales and present Duke
of Windsor, and J. Charles Yule,
also of Alberta, will assist in this
capacity.
Sheep will be sent to the show
from 24 states and Canada and
draft horses from 15 states and
two Canadian provinces.
All railroads serving Chicago
have announced specially reduced
fares from many points along their
lines that will be in effect during
the week of the exposition.
