I SELF DEFENSE Three men were sitting in the par lor of a country inn, having spent a very good time together. Sudden ly a large rat ran across the floor and scuttled out of sight. All three saw it, but no one said a word. They just waited and waited. At last one of them could stand the tension no longer. "I know what you fellows are thinking," he shout ed. "You think I saw a rat, but I didn't!" Elementary "How old are you?" "Seventeen." "And what do you expect to be In three years?" "Twenty."

Will Your Vitamins (See Recipes Below.) Vitamin Ways Comes winter and fall when vege I tables and fruits are more scarce than during sum mer and fall, and many a home maker is apt to fall shy on serv ing her family these vital body regulating and protective foods. let, uus is tne time wnen me ooay needs them most. These foods build up the body's resistance, to disease ?and keep you, to pick a common example, from having a cold as soon as warm weather and sun flee. Minerals are busy building and repairing, replenishing body tissues that get torn down and used up, daily with every movement you make. Vitamins help you use the foods you eat. Good-to-eat foods help the family take in all these vital minerals and vitamins. Drab, uninteresting dishes will send them off to eating other foods to take the edge off their hun ger?wherever they can put their hands on something. I need not point out that in this way they may really be losing out on foods neces sary to the body. Cooking vegetables well, and do ing pretty things to their appear ance will help their consumption rating. A bit of sauce or extra sea soning will put an ordinary vegeta ble over and at the same time in sure your family of what it needs most: *Scalloped Peas and Onions. (Serves 5 to 6) 1 pound small white onions 1 No. 2 can peas 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 3 tablespoons finely crushed bread crumbs Parboil onions 25 minutes.

Cover with boil ing water, cover and simmer two hours or until tender. Clean vege tables. add to meat, cook, uncov ered 20 to 30 minutes or until vege tables are tender. Fried Sqnash Cakes.

Repeat the process twice ana men arop mio noi iai ior iry ing. When they have cooked through and are brown, drain on brown pa per and serve. Festive Squash. (Serves 6) 3 small squashes 1 cap drained canned tomatoes 1 cop shredded, processed Ched dar cheese 1 tablespoon chopped onion 2 enps soft bread crumbs Salt, pepper 3 tablespoons melted batter Parsley Broiled bacon Wash the squashes and cut them in half, lengthwise and cook in boil ing salted water until almost tender. Scoop out the centers, leaving a Vi inch shell. Cut the pulp into small pieces-and drain thoroughly. Com bine with tomatoes, cheese, onion, 1 cup bread crumbs and seasonings to taste. Pile this into the squash shells and sprinkle with remaining crumbs mixed with the melted but ter. Babe in a moderate (390-de gree) oven until the crumbs are brown. Arrange in a round platter and serve with parsley and crisp, broiled bacon. A few green leaves of lettuce, ro maine, watercress or other salad greens guarantee much of the im portant, but hard-to-get vitamin D. Perhaps, you like the greens plain, or perhaps with a bit of color such as: ?Cranberry-Pineapple Salad. Cut slices of canned cranberry sauce and top with slices of pine apple. Arrange in lettuce nests. Soften cream cheese, with milk and add a few chopped nuts. Shape into balls and place among lettuce leaves. Serve with mayonnaise. ?Apple Joiee Mines Pie.

Lynn gays: Vital Statistics: There are about seven inches in the Nutri tion Yardstick which bear check ing every day in every way so as to keep you and your family in the running: The first inch includes milk: 1 pint per day for every adult and 1 quart for every child. Of course you don't have to drink all this milk. Use part of it in cooking. Second honors go to meat, fish or poultry, and this is not hard to use up. For lunch or dinner, whichever fits best for your fam ily, one serving per person should be counted. At least one egg a day or at least four to five per week marks the third inch. Have it for break fast or toes it in the hot bread for dinner, or custard for lunch. Cereal's important, too. Serve it in the breakfast, or a pudding or even cookies. Bread and rolls come under this category, also. Fifth inch includes the vegeta bles: two besides potatoes, one should be a leafy vegetable? spinach, lettuce, broccoli, ro maine. etc.?and the other raw. Cabbage is perfect. Now, the fruits. Two a day isn't hard to manage. Of course you start off with breakfast, and then include one for lunch or din ner dessert. The last and seventh inch in cludes butter or some fat rich in vitamin A. This is for fuel and energy. This Week's Menu Browned Oysters ?Scalloped Peas and Onions ?Cranberry-Pineapple Salad Hot Biscuits ?Apple Juice Mince Pie ?Recipes Given 'THE WAR CONTRACT OB ?WHERE AM It' Mr. Wimple wanted to find out about a pin. It was a little pin required as part of a gun mechan ism. The government needed this type of pin in large quantities in a hurry, Wimple, who made pins, had been told. He had received a letter from the PDQ or something urging him to convert his shop for an all-out production of pins. He replied, asking about a few particu lars and got back a letter from the PDQ saying that the BBA now had charge of the matter. n Mr. Wimple decided he had better go to Washington and get things straightened out. He went to the building which housed the BBA to see the chairman, a Mr. Zoofus. He was told to wait in an anteroom. After a few hours a clerk came out and told him that Mr. Zoofus had been assignecT to another bureau and that he would have to see a Mr. Bilch. Mr. Bilch was in the office of the PQX or something 15 blocks south, "take your next left." HI Mr. Wimple couldn't get a taxi so he walked. At the office of the PQX he was told that Mr. Bilch was in conference with officials of the HQA about a VCB matter. But Mr. Gim py was present. "State your business," said the attendant. "I stated it three hours ago," said Mr. Wimple. "Oh," said the attendant, "just a minute, please." n- ?J kB.lr presently. "Mr. Gimpy took a plane to Oshkosh about an hour ago," he explained. "He left word he couldn't discuss those bolts today." "Not bolts," corrected Wim ple. "Plus!" "Oh, pins!" exclaimed the attend ant. "The man you want to see is Mr. Tookle over at the DPBA. That's in the Effadoofus Building." rv He finally reached the Effadoofus Building and found the DPBA head quarters. Mr. Tookle was in. What did he wish to see him about? About pins. Take a chair, please! After a while Mr. Tookle sent out word that he was not prepared to discuss those brass washers yet. "Pins," groaned Mr. Wimple, "not washers." Mr. Tookle came out, a little ex asperated. "Pins?" he asked. "You don't mean gaskets, do you?" "Pins," said Mr. Wimple wearily. "I'm Wimple, the pin manufacturer. Maybe this cor respondence will clear it all up." He showed a packet of letters from Washington. "Oh," said Mr. Tookle, "this is about pins, not ratchets. You will have to see Charlie Zamm. He's co-ordinating that matter. Three miles north, take your left at the ninth traffic light. Good day!" V Mr. Wimple now stole a motor cycle. He was getting desperate and was determined to cover ground more rapidly. He made the next building in fair time. Was Mr. Zamm in? Which Zamm, Charles or Joseph? Charles, he thought. No, Charlie Zamm was in Moscow but Joseph Zamm would be glad to dis cuss those metal clips with him. "Pins," said Mr. Wimple. "Take a chair; Mr. Joseph Zamm will be back any minute." VI It was pretty dark now. Mr. Wim ple was thinking of calling it all oft when Mr. Zamm appeared. "Sorry to hold you up," said Zamm. "I'm glad you came down, we need those hub-caps as fast as you can turn 'em out." "Pins," said Mr. Wimple, weakly. "I thought you were the hub-cap contractor," said Mr. Zamm. "There is some confusion here." "Nuts," said Mr. Wimple, leaping through the window. (P. S.?He joined up will the marine*.
