For “The Big Shore Leave,” in which he stars with Greer Garson, the old Merchant Marine freighter was renamed the "Minnie Tolbert" and fixed up a bit. But when Gable saw her he whooped "That’s not 'Minnie,' that’s the old 'China.' ” The same ship on whose deck Gable first kissed Jean Harlow, while a brunette newcomer looked on. The newcomer has done all right in pic tures, too, by the way—her name is Rosalind Russell.

It’s a two-act musical comedy and the boys say it’s swell. Bashful Oswald, heard on the NBC “Grand Ole Opry,” is prob ably best known for his wild and raucous laugh. Oswald's two chil dren now delight their playmate* with a good imitation of their father's trademark—his three-year- old daughter is practically per fect at it. Philip Terry showed up on the set of "To Each His Own" with a bad limp While talking to Walter Pidg- eon, he rested his knee on a chair and promptly put it out of joint.

This hap- I pens to all of us ' these days, but there are ways means to and skirt around this situation. Did you know that a roast can be made from a few frankfurters and that it can taste as good and look as luscious as a prewar steak? Or, if the sugar bowl is bare, syrup can sweeten the cake and syrup can make an icing that stands in frothy peaks? Don't let strict rationing keep you from being generous about inviting people over. It's more necessary now than ever when travel is curbed and we must seek "homey” enter tainment. And remember, too, there are no curbs on the niceties of serving. Good linens, shining silverware, sparkling glassware and attractive china will dress a table beautifully. A bowl of garden-fresh flowers or an arrangement of your own or chard's fruits can add personality touches even to simple dinners, Now, here's the first dinner sug- gestion: Melon Ball Fruit Cup Frankfurter Crown Roast Broccoli Fried Apple Rings Orange Rolls Lettuce Salad French Dressing Peanut Brittle Sugarless Cake Iced Tea or Coffee This frankfurter roast is a satis fying but low-point meat dish that is guaranteed to please your guests. The "franks” are kept moist and juicy by brushing with salad oil, and the meat, itself, is extended by the use of a spicy, well-seasoned bread dressing. A«™ w Frankfurter Crown Roast.

Brush frankfurters with oil. Bake, uncovered, in a moder ate (375-degree) oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from pan, using pancake turner or wide spatula, and place on a hot platter. Garnish with fried apple rings. This sugarless cake, though made with syrup, is light, moist and fine- textured. The important point to keep in mind is to add the syrup to the creamed shortening very grad ually. Pour it from a bottle into a measuring cup and add a little at a time, beating until the mixture is thoroughly blended after each ad dition. When syrup is properly blended in this way, a smooth, light batter results. •Peanut Brittle Sugarless Cake.

Chilled Tomato Juice Individual Beef Loaves Creamed Potatoes Green Beans Garnished with Pimiento Molded Cottage Cheese and Cucumber Salad Homemade Wheat Bread Lemon Upside-Down Cake Beverage Ants Prove Versatile Harvest ants, and particularly the stinging, or “fire" ants of the South and Southwest, in addition to being agricultural pests, are a menace to military airfields and drill grounds. In Texas and other parts of the Southwest, stinging ants have been known to halt military drilling until they were exterminated. Ants foster aphids, plant lice, and mealy bugs for food. They carry the aphid eggs underground in the autumn and protect them over the winter. In the spring they carry the young aphids to “pasture” by transporting them to succulent plant life.

Hot water or steam from the heating plant is circulated through the coils which are imbedded in the cement sidewalk. The heat melts the snow or ice. This method was developed for the fast removal of snow and ice from airplane runways , in Canada.______________ Save that Pennant! Few Americans appreciate the Jap's willingness to perish for his regimental flag. But to the Nip. this piece of silk is like a fetish. It is bestowed upon the troops by the Em- beror himself; its staff is topped by the 16-petaled gold chrysanthemum that is symbol of the Imperial fami ly. Special guards watch over it during the course of each campaign; if it is lost to the enemy the entire regiment is condemned to eternal disgrace. ; ' ' One long stitch and three ac companying short stitches are ex cellent stitches to use when bast ing. —•— Early digging reduces the pota to yield. The crop may be left in the ground as long as a month after maturity provided insects are not present in great number. Room Lighting A room painted in deep blue or green requires much more light for illumination than the same room painted white or cream. The dark colors absorb several times as much light as the brighter colors, which reflect most of the light back into the room.

The acid of vinegar used in pickling helps preserve beets and keep them a bright red. A pressure canner is not necessary for canning pickled beets. If pickled beets are to be kept more than a few days, they should be processed in a boil ing water bath, as in canning fruits.

Tie a string around Lynn Says If Recipe Doesn't Fit the Fam ily: If you run across recipes that are too large for the family, let the following hints be your guide: One-fourth to one-third pound of lean meat is a good proportion to use for one serving. When buy ing a roast, plan to serve it for several meals. One-half to two-thirds of a cup of vegetables are good guides to vegetable serving. Don't try to divide eggs in small recipes. Too much egg 0 better than not enough and more than the recipe calls for will have little effect on the result, but will add more nourishment. When making half a muffin recipe, fill empty tins with water to protect the cups. Cake and cookie recipe* should not be divided. Both keep well for several day* to a week, and a larger quantity can be made safely. Crushed peanut brittle and ayrup provide all the sweetening neces sary for this lovely glamour cake. Sugarless frosting also made with out sugar stands in high, beautiful peaks and stays soft. These individual beef loaves are extended with bread crumbs but none of the precious meat flavor need be sacrificed when a seasoning of rich beef broth is used to high light the meaty flavor.
