Eat In Kitchen And Save Fuel Many Happy Hours Spent In Old-Fashioned Kitchen Not so long ago the cry was "Come 'out' of the kitchen," but wow in England it Is "Go back to the kitchen." Save fuel and eat there, says one British function ary, and if nothing worse cqmes during the war than having to lake dinner In 'the kitchen how for- twnate that family! The contention of our overseas eousins is that eating' in the kit- "ehen need not be a degrading mat- "der, One's manners need not sink to--well, to sink level. The table may still bo neatly spread, wear a centrepiece, the good silver, attrac. tive dishes." Yet by eating in tie - kitchen another room is spared heating, and the labor in carrying dishes back and forth may be saved. Many a person hearing the de- eree of Commander King-Hall about kitchen eating will feel this no hardship, Our forebears knew what it wias.to take meals in the kitchen. Here was one of the largest, sunniest rooms in the ample house. 'There were pots of goraniomas on the sills, near the window "there was a high-backed yocker with a gingham cushion much favored by grandma, and when grandma did not claim the chair the house cat did. The sun- Nght fell upon the pumpkin-paint- ed floor. . There were good odors in the air from baking bread, coffee or aromatic pickling or preserving, From the stove emanated a pleas- ing warmth, and the burning wood could lend a delicate taste to the morning , toast not otherwise to be activ \d On the kitchea man- telpicce tidged the old clock; on a 'peg at one side hung the yellowed Old Farmer's Almanac; while the turkey duster hung at the other. If the kitchen were very old-style it treasured a capacious fireplace once hung with cranes from which © were suspended blackened iron kettles. About 40,000 Girls On British Farms British System Service Is of, Selective Success With the registration of girls from 20 to 24 years of age and power given the selective service director to send people to work where they are nceded, it is pos- gible that many young women in Canada may have to take up work of which they are quite ignorant, even to the extent of milking a cow. Selective service has long been in operation in the British Isles, although girls have, as far as feasible, choice of occupations. There are about 40,000 now on farms, and most of them had either never done any kind of work before, or had been.employ- ed in offices, beauty parlors or stores. { A"woman investigator re- ports that not only have these girls "adapted themselves to the new life, but they enjoy it, and that the farmers are almost "sold" to a man on the idea of "farmer- ette" help. If Canadian girls are to be put on farms, it would be wise to adopt the British plan. The British girls are not assigned to a farm and told to do' this and that, like a youngster being forced to learn to swim by being tossed into the water. There are large farms which are used as training centres. Before being put to regular work the girls spend at least one month on one of these farms, where each is given practical instuction in 7 every branch of work she may have to do, lectures by compet- ent instructors being part of the tuition. If a trainee intends tak- ing up some special kind of farm work she is given extra instruct-- fon in that branch, No farmer in this or any other country cares to have inexperienced help. That 8 unfair to employer and employe and leads to much dissatisfaction: on both sides. One English farmer who has 17 girls, all from cities, working on market-gardening and dairying, told the investigator that they were "a grand crew," working alongside the men, and were quite eontent to go into town once a week to a dance or movie. "Most of them," he said, "tell us they don't want to go back fo the cities after the war. And most of us don't want to lose them, either." --tepen om wn Treat For Malta As a special feature for the opulation of Malta, much-bombed ritish island possession in the Mediterranean, the London radio broadcast the fecorded sound of the motors of Lancaster bombing lanes taking off for raids on orthern Italy.

'® SERIAL STORY MURDER IN FERRY COMMAND BY A. W. O'BRIEN | BOMBER TO MONTREAL CHAPTER X Clyde Dawson was repairing the ravages of his stormy session with the spy ring in the Turkish bath of his Chicago hotel when, at about 8 o'clock that night, a tele- phone eiilt was plugged into the steam room, It was the chief agent of the I, B. I, "Something -of special interest for you, Dawson," he said. "Your good-looking girl friend boarded a Canadian Colonial Airways plane at LaGuardia Field in New York 20 minutes ago. Our Manhattan office wants to know if they'll have the plane radioed back . . . it will be over American soil for about an hour more--it's the reg- ular evening plane for Montreal." Dawson made no effort to con- ceal his excitement. / "No, let her go... I've a sud- den hunch and want her to have a little more rope. My compli- ments to your Manhattan office-- damn smart co-operation. One more favor, old man, the War Supplies Office must have a Traf- fic Routing Department. Would you use your authority to find out if the man in charge last night was, by chance, asked for any IN COTTON OR WOOL By Anne Adams This Anne Adams dress, Pattern 4131, is so slenderizing that y&&YI, want it in both cotton print for "home wear and dark fabric for town, The scalloped buttoning curves into the front skirt panel.

The G-man laughed outright at the other end of the line: "We're one jump ahead of you there-----I was abouts to tell you that we have received a report, on the very subject. It was a lucky guess--she actually did eall up. about 10.30 last night and asked about flying schedules..." "Where to?" "This will tickle you-she ask- ed for the best route to New- foundland via Halifax , , ." "It fits," Dawson murmured. ".. . and the Traffie Routing officer suggested that, due to ex- isting flying conditions, she might better take the train for New York and fly up to Montreal where she would have plenty of time to connect with the night TCA plane for Halifax--it leaves at 1.45 a.m. He informed her that her War Supplies Depart- ment identification might get her a spot onvone of the crowded steamers out of Halifax--other- wise she would be forced to go back to Truro, over to North Syd-" ney, across Cabot Strait and via Newfoundland Railway ... ." Dawson looked at overhead and whistled. no time to be wasted. From the Turkish Bath he phoned directly to the Ferry Com. mand headquarters in Montreal --and-had them locate the Air Mar- shal, Half an hour later Dawson was on his way to an airport just outside the Chicago limits. There was an Army Air Force officer waiting for him at the gate. ' "Ym instructed to take you di- rectly to the field, Mr. Dawson," he said crisply. "There's a twin- engined bomber being held for you on Ferry Command instruc- tions." There was At Detroit the plane had to land for customs and immigration. clearance and Dawson took ad- vantage of the few minutes to phone the Montreal bureau of the Canadian Intelligence. , He gave instructions for the 1.456 TCA late and if a reservation was made for one Carole Fiske--she would have to use her right name unless she had a phony passport -- to reserve the seat beside her for him, If the seat was already re- served he ordered that Intelli- gence priority be used to secure it. It was a rough trip, with the plane flying into a strong head- wind. But at 1.35 a.m, the pilot beckoned to ".awson and. the lat- ter squeezed his way past the large inside gasoline tank in- galled for the transatlantic flight, "We're over Dorval now," the pilot yelled. "Sorry it took so long --that wind was plenty stiff." Dawson hurried to the TCA air- port office. Outside the doorway, a man stepped out of the shadows. It was a Montreal bureau officer. "I've got your ticket here -- thought you might not want to go inside because the girl is waiting with the other passengers . . ." "Nice going," Dawson cut in, "go inside and tell the dispatcher all's set for the take-off anytime, and I've gone direétly . to the plane. You hard in my ticket-- they usually pick them up at the desk." . . . Dawson heard the flight an- 78H RTE SIA ADS i xt the clock - plane to be held in case he was--|- _an object which he ' nouncement on the loudspeaker and saw the passengers filing through the door. Carole Fiske came out alone. Dawson swung into stride be- side her. "Hello," he said simply. Carole Fiske halted in conster- nation as she recognized Dawson. But' she quickly recovered her poise, = One hand slipped out of her muff and she held it close to his body. 'In it wés a spub-nosed automatic: x "Don't try to stop me from tak- ing this plane, mister, or you're a dead pigeon---I swear it!" Dawson laughed. "The surest - way of missing your plane would be to shoot me here, sweetheart. . Insteaa of trying to stop you.-I'm actually making the jaunt in the ext seat--chummy, eh?" The girl was obviously suspi- cious. Keeping the gun trained on him she hid it with her muff, "Very well, let's go!" she com- manded in lowered tone, Dawson took her free arm and gave it a playful squeeze. "Let's go," he cchoed, * * Ed When they reached the side of the waiting TCA plane, Carole Fiske slowed her pace and gave an almost imperceptible gesture with her head for Dawson to mount the movable stairway first. "Emily Post wouldn't approve," grinned Dawson. On the second step he stopped suddenly as from the corner of his eye he caught a quick movement --a man had slipped up silently behind the girl and pinned her Arms. : "Drop that gun!" he snarled in- to her car. It was the Montreal agent and Dawson had completely forgotten about him. Of course the agent had picked up the bit of side-drama outside the waiting room and . . , Dawson heard the hostess coming through the plane door, evidently attracted by the commotion. This was no time for delicacy. : Jumping lightly from the sec- ond step, he punched hard and true over the girl's shoulder straight into the agent's face. The latter reeled back, stumbled and made a flying leap and landed piled into the snowdrift: Dawson squarely on the stunned man. "Never mind the poke," Daw- son hissed, "act as if you are drunk and we're going in for a little horseplay ..." = Both men began grunting and laughing as they rolled,- Dawson finally yelling in a tone of mock surrender: . "Enough . . . enough . , . you got me, Joe." : e They rose to their feet brush- ing the snow off their clothes, Carole Fiske was obviously amaz- ed but she took a quick glance at the frowning hostess and played her part: "Come on, darling," she spoke impatiently, "the plane is waiting --send your frisky friend on his way." . . . With apparent unsteadiness, . Dawson followed up the steps, checked in with the hostess and sat down heavily in his seat. The girl and he had the two end spaces. a She was staring at him coldly. "Nice way to treat a Boy Scout pal doing his good deed," she commented crisply, "but why did you wreck it?' : Dawson took from his pocket noi into her lap. It was the snub-nosed auto- matic. "You dropped it outside," he said. "Now come again with the $36 question." : Carole Fiske shoved the gun into her purse, frankly bewildered. "I asked you why you wrecked an excellent opportunity to turn the tables on me out there?" Dawson puckered his lips and tapped his fingers together thoughtfully: "Maybe it's. because I like to see good-looking girls given a chance to achieve their ultimate ambition in life. You, for ex- ample . . ." he turned to face her squarely, '"seerh to have the burn. ing and laudable purpose of killing me-off. You put me on the spot In Chicago, then you threaten to make me a dead pigeon out here --7I'd" never forgive myself if I didn't let you kill me! sometinie.

With the conga chasers and the rhumba writhers, as well as more serious minded youth, doing their steps in the Army, mothers begin to wonder what the boys are eating. Thanks to the advances of nutrition, the Army doesn't_leave them a thing to worry about. The soldier sons are getting all the calories they need, and the entire menu is worked out to supply the necessary minerals, vitamins and other food essentials. Packages from home, however, will always get a big hand from the boys in camp, for no Army cook. has either the time or the in- clination to cook tidbits for each one's fancy. So, mothérs, start rolling out the dough, and begin cutting the cookies. Those old- fashioned cookies are the best package-fillers anyone ever thought up to send to a man away from home.
