Northwest Soft Wheat Makes Tasty Cookies', Recipes Given by OSC Corvallis Tender, delicate cookies result when they're baked with Northwest soft wheat flour, according to a new Oregon State college circular. Recipes for making these cookies are contained in the publication, "Soft Wheat Flour Cookies." Copies may be obtain ed from county extension offices or the OSSC bulletin clerk. Soft wheat or cake flour makes cookies tender because it contains less flour protein, call ed gulten. Hard wheat flours, commonly used in breads and for general baking purposes, contain more of the gluten than soft wheat flours. Recipes for brownies, ginger snaps and vanilla wafers with and without butter, were devel oped by Mrs. Andrea Mackey and Mrs. Joy Stockman, college home economists. A recipe for a Scandinavian cookie contain ing ground cardamom and cook ed egg yolks is also included in the circular.. Cookie dough may be pre pared in advance and kept for weeks in a freezer, the home economists point out. If dough is to be used within a few days, it may be stored in the refrigerator. Pnitpcirariri For a long time we've wondered why the uniforms for enlisted men in the Navy were made as they are. Tuesday we learned some of the answers while having luncheon with the Navy Mothers and six men fresh out of "boot camp." We were told that the uniform was designed similar to that worn by men of the British Navy way back when this country first had a Navy, and that it's not much different now than it was then. The large collar on the jumper, for instance, was made that way in the beginning to protect the jumper from the tar which British seamen commonly put on their hair when it was worn in a pigtail. We surmised that the tar maybe discouraged "creatures" from inhabiting their hair, although some say it was just to keep the hair from blowing about. British uniforms are still made with a removable collar, we learned, although it is presumed the seamen no longer put tar on their hair. Just before starting to eat, all t v young men tucked their black ties inside their jumpers. We we , told that this is a sanitary necessity, since otherwise the ties tend to drag in the food." "We only have 20 minutes to eat a meal in," said Frank Tycksen, "and there isn't time to fool with keeping a tie out of the way." When Potpourri expressed surprise that so little time should be allowed for meals, he shrugged and said most of the men can finish in 10 minutes if they're really in a hurry. (Later we found we could have learned all this Navy dope from Pal Peg, ex-WAVE. She volunteered the information that the jumpers are designed as they are in order that they may be ripped open and discarded quickly if a man is saving himself from a watery grave, and that the uniform trousers have bell bottoms for easier rolling up when the seamen scrub decks, etc.) Later the men obligingly posed for pictures with their mothers, and Potpourri found out that the young woman hovering in the background was Nancy Adams, whose wedding to Richard San ford, one of the Navy men, was set for Thursday night. Now that the indoctrination training is over, the men of the all-Oregon company are being scattered to Navy bases far and wide for the second phase of their training. What are your pet peeves? Potpourri has a few to which no one ever pays the slightest attention. One of our peeves is against whoever it is that puts up the paper towel racks in the little girls' rooms. Why do they put them so high that the water off our hands runs down our arms while we wrestle the towel down. Of course, we could pull the towel down before we start to wash our hands, but we never can remember to do that. Another peeve is against the men who design and put up street and road name signs. Why couldn't they be designed and placed so they aren't so hard to read from a car? When hunting a street or side road at night, Potpourri has to bring the car to almost a full stop and even then, often the signs can only be seen dimly. Maybe they could be painted in different colors than black and white. Driving to work one morning the road ahead was filled with eight or a dozsn children on their way to school, some walking and some on bicycles. Far down the road, long before we could make out the rest, we could see three very distinctly they wore yellow raincoats. The safety experts who are urging the adoption of bright yellow as the safety color for clothing, rather than red, seem to be right. Bill Oyler, Shakespearean actor and teacher, has been combing back issues of the Mail Tribune and its predecessors for material on early-day theater activities in Medford. (The material may be the basis of a doctoral thesis.) Like many others unfamiliar with the valley's early history, the actor has been amazed at the number and caliber of the theatrical and musical attractions which played in Medford. For instance, in April of 1909 the famous Lillian Russell ap peared in Medford. Although the pages of The Southern Oregonian published in Medford failed to show any advance advertising of sucn an important event, her appearance did result in an .editorial It read: Lillian Russell playing to a packed house in Medford! Who would have dreamed it a few years ago? It is doubtful if the famous star ever played before in a city the size of Medford. She is used to passing up much larger places. Moreover, she had a metropolitan audience that would be a credit to any city. This is the first New York company to clay here. The success of the engagement is a great advertisement for Medford and as sures all first class attractions probably the only place that can secure them between San Francisco and Portland. The reception accorded Miss Russell delighted her. "Medford is no country town. This is a. city audience. I never played to a more appreciative crowd, and I will be glad to nlav here aeain." was her comment. Medford is on the theatrical map as the best town of its size in the West. A first-class attraction receives good support out barnstormers have slim picking. Most persons doing research of this nature find themselves reading practically the whole newspaper, instead of sticking to the one subject, and Mr. O. has been having the same difficulty. The classified advertising, for instance, is proving most diverting. He copied this one: "An accomplished young lady (18) wishes to meet a young man of good habits (wealth not essential) who owns a home in West Medford near the street car line. Object, matrimony." Perhaps she found her young man of good habits! Who knows, maybe the couple still lives in Medford. O.S.

Fry apple slices in honey and butter. Bad Lighting Cause Of Squinting, Dozing Chicago HP) Bad light ing, not bad eyesight, may ac count for chronic squinting or dozing. A survey by lighting experts shows inadequate lighting facil ities cause many problems in the home. ' If father dozes every evening put a pulldown fixture with a 60-watt bulb above his chair. If sister goes to a prom look ing like Theda Bara, equip bath room with a center celling light and fixture above and at the sides of the mirror, the experts suggest. Dens, kitchens and all work areas should have one or two ceiling fixtures. Brighter general lighting with dramatic accent lighting can perk up rooms which look life less and colorless at night. To remove fish odors from cooking utensils add two or three tablespoons of ammonia to the dishwater. Coffee Making Rules Given by Colonel Ft. Bragg, N.C. (IP) Ameri cans don't know how to jazz up their java. So says Col. William J. B. Cline, a retired army officer who served with the food serv ice of the Third Army and now is with the Coffee Brewing In stitute of America. Commercial restaurants and housewives alike need to follow some basic rules to "sharply im prove America's coffee," he said. Cline offered these tips to the "chefs" at the Army base here: Never use water from a hot water faucet. Let it run from the cold water side a while be fore putting it in the pot. Never guess. Accurate meas urement is one of the most im portant steps in the brewing process. Store the coffee in a cool, dry place away from outside odors. Use fresh coffee.
