Doctors Ponder New Problem: Rationing Vs. Invalids’^ Diet By BETTY MacDONALD WASHINGTON,. May 28. - Be cause so many doctors have ap pealed to OPA for aid in dealing | with special invalid cases under i the rationing program, a comma- j tee of physicians and specialists has been formed to decide dietary policies keyed to needs of invalids ! and special diseases. Included on the committee are experts in in-; \ ternal medicine, surgery, obstet-! rics, pediatrics, dermatology and j diabetes. I SAVE RAGS Don’t throw away those old' I rags around the house. WPB work-1 | ers are urging all householders to! | turn in rag salvage to their near est junk dealer. The reason: men | in the armed forces need rags i for wiping and cleaning in hun dreds of military uses; factory workers need rags for machines. APPLIANCE DEARTH I The electrical appliance picture! is anything but rosy these days, and distributors are alarmed by the fact that even adequate re pairs won’t answer the problem of rapidly diminishing stocks of toasters, irons, washing machines. An industrial advisory commit tee is now investigating possibili ties of limited production of some of these household appliances, and they’ll submit results soon to WPB. ODS ’N’ ENDS Civilians will get 30,000,000 cases more canned fruits and vegeta bles from the 1943 pack, since the government reduced its require ments . . . All applications for Ration Book Three must be in the mails by midnight June 10, or they won’t be processed till after Au gust 1 . . . Farmers are urged not to send their ration books in. to city relatives, else they’ll defeat OPA’s ration system and"unset a program based on so many peo ple not using all their points.

If a friend takes you to a movie is it good manners to be extremely critical? 2. If you are invited to dinner and then asked what movie you would like to see is it all right to name one or should you say, “Anything you would like is all right with me”? 3. If a friend has had her house redecorated and asks your opinion about it, is it all right to tell her what you think is wrong? 4. If someone criticizes the dec oration scheme of your house, should you become offended? 5. Is it permissible to comment on an unusual piece of furniture or work of art in the home of a person you don’t know very well. What would you do if— You see a book in your hostess’ living room that you would like to borrow— (a) Comment on it, saying that you intend to read it—and see if she offers to lend it to you? tb) Ask if you may borrow it? Answers 1. No. 2. Is it all right to name one if there is something you want to see. 3. Since she is not likely to have the job done over immediately, it is kinder to point out the features that you find particularly pleas ing. 4. Of course not. Though you might explain the effect you were trying to achieve. 5. Yes. If it is a striking piece, she is probably accustomed to comment on it. Better “What Would You Do” solution—(a) is best unless you know your hostess very well. -V When the sun Is setting on Attu in the Aleutians, it is rising in Maine, so it always shines on North America.

Wartime Rule: Don’t Waste Others’ Time By RUTH MILLETT If you want to be popular in wartime, be a time-saver. Nearly everybody is busy and over worked these days, yet it is sur prising how many people go right ; on wasting oth er people’s time. There is the man who stops for a personal conversation with a clerk while others stand in line to be wait ed on. There is the woman who still has to look in every store in town before she makes a small purchase. • Ruth Millett There is the woman who uses the telephone for frequent “nice long talks” with busy friends. There is the long-winded talker who can’t make the simplest busi ness transaction without telling some over-worked, hurried person all about himself. And, of course, there is the woman who can’t make up her mind whether to buy this or to buy that, even when the choice is no more important than between two cans of corn. She almost al ways debates with herself out loud while the other customers stand and wait. “EARBENDERS” Then there is the man who loves to hear himself talk and so has something to say on every matter brought up in a business meeting. He can delay any meet ing a full hour, when he isn’t even in top form. And there are the women who never have bus fare ready, and who have to dig around in the bottoms of their handbags when ever they pay a check. They are all time-wasters, and the sad part of it is that it is time belonging to other people that they insist on wasting. Once their time-wadting w'as just a slight nuisance. In wartime it be comes a serious offense. * * * &(a)cul. 1 'Jtiich&n. Housework Is Duty Of Entire Family By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX The wife and mother who works in a war plant and also runs her home deserves help from other members of the family in prepar ing meals. Ida Bailey Alien is very emphatic about that in her new book “Double-Quick Cooking.” “Every home presents different problems, so each woman must plan a schedule for herself,” she writes. “Right here and now I would like to say emphatically that if the pay envelope is being turned into the family exchequer, or is being saved toward a home, or used for the paying of family debts, she should not be expected to do alone the work of a house hold.” From “Double - Quick Cooking” come these recipes: Dropped Soy and Oat Cookies One egg, 1-2 cup melted short ening, 1 cup brown sugar, or 1-2 cup granulated sugar and 1-2 cup molasses, 1 1-4 cups enriched flour, 1-2 cup soy flour. 1-4 teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 1-2 cups rolled oats, 12 cup salted soy beans. Separate the egg: add the yolk to the melted shortening and sugar and beat well. Sift the dry ingredi ents together and add to the first mixture, together with the rolled oats and salted soy beans. Fold in the egg white, whipped stiff. The mixture will be quite stiff. Drop by small teaspoonfuls onto an oiled cookie sheet, keeping the cookies an inch apart; bake in a hot oven (375 degrees F.) 10 min utes. Home-Made Fruit Juice Delicious fruit juices may be homemade from strawberries, a combination of strawberries with rhubarb; raspberries; cherries; currants; a combination of pears and plums; or peaches with plums grape juice or apple juice combined with any fruit. MONDAY’S MENU (Eat the basic 7 every day) BREAKFAST: Homemade fruit juices, scrambled eggs with fried tomato rings, toast, apple jelly, coffee, milk. LUNCHEON: Toasted cheese sandwiches, watercress with salt and pepper, dropped soy and oatmeal cookies, tea, milk. DINNER: Tomato juice, minced leftover chicken with chopped olives on wholewheat toast, potato cakes, green beans, bread, butter or forti fied margarine, stewed rhu barb, sov and oatmeal cookies, tea, milk.

Engineer office, in ad dition to handling the many duties connected with the construction of \ the Army camps and airfields ] throughout the state, are helping to win the war by making sub stantial war bond purchases. Since last October, $71,339.75 in j cash purchases of war bonds have been made by approximately 356 government employes. In addition, many of the Engineer office em ployes have elected to purchase war savingg bonds via a payroll deduction plan, a total of $54,343.90 having been invested in the series E type of government securities. In April, $7,800.00 in war bonds were purchased via the payroll deduction plan, exclusive of cash sales of $21,723.40 made to the U. S. Engineer office employes during the same month.

Mayor Edgar L. Yow said that a large delegation of taxi drivers called on him Friday with a peti tion asking for space for taxis at the two stations. He said he told the delegation of men, who apparently left their taxis to make a formal call on the city government, that the council last Wednesday had approved the allocation of parking space to the taxis and that the spaces would be marked off within the near fu ture. Operators of the larger taxi companies here said their drivers had not struck, although one de clared that his men “had taken time off to organize.” The taxis were back in operation Friday afternoon. ._ REGISTRATION DENIED PHILADELPHIA, May 28—(^P)— Broker-dealer registration was de nied to Archer, Mader and com pany of Kansas City, Mo., by the Securities and Exchange commis sion today on the grounds that a previous registration of William K.
