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.

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. Old coffee
