Crocheted Accessories Are 1 Smart, Inexpensive to By CHERIE NICHOLAS i:V<Vr Three Women Hold Sea Jobs Claim to Be First of Sex Carried on Seamen's j Papers Anywhere. BONDS OVER AMERICA "DECAUSE of the gas-rationed motorless days and nights ahead, we as a nation are having to cultivate a stay-at-"home program and like it." Good news, this, for crochet enthusiasts! 'Tis opportunity knocking at your door. It adds very much to the zest of things that crochet i^ being so importantly featured in the fashion realm nowadays. Everything that can be crocheted in the way of sweaters, hats, bags, gloves, belts and endless other accessory items is being crocheted with a high-style gesture that brings a new style trend into current costume design. Gleaned from the wealth of ideas that crochet experts are pouring forth these days are the items portrayed in the accompanying illustration. Here's a new idea--see it pictured above to the right in this group --a handsome envelope bag with its own matching collar necklace. These smart fashion accessories are quickly and inexpensively made. Speaking of the crochet necklace just mentioned, the idea of crochet jewelry is developing into a really important vogue. Simplest thing imaginable to crochet flowerlets and buds and leaves in realistic colors. Let them be "pick-up" work, and when you have accumulated a collection string them on or sew them to a crochet cord or to a festoon of crochet cords if you want a bib or yoke effect in front; It's easy to add a bracelet done in the same manner. Easy to make and easy to wear is the stocking cap shown below to the left. You'll need just two skeins of knitting worsted, a dark color for the hat itself and a lighter color for pompons. ' - • A crochet belt as illustrated will do wonders in the way of style distinction for any dress with which you care to wear it. This most attractive belt fills the bill on both counts when it comes to serviceable wearability as well as carrying the message of swank to the 'nth degree. It is backed with velveteen, revels in high color and has a convenient zipper pocket--what more could a fashion-conscious college girl or gay little 'teen-ager want! St. Valentine's day will soon be here, "and wouldn't a set of rosy red little dangling hearts be cunning to send to some one you wish to remember with a gift you make! They are charming to wear on the lapel of your coat or to adorn a simple blouse. Then, too, the latest is to use them for gay and amusing package decorations. Instead of tying with ribbons, crochet a long cord in simple chain stitch, finishing off with a cluster of the dangling hearts. A cute little trick to pin on your lapel is the intriguing little panda which you can make from leftover lengths of yarn. See these clever little trifles shown below in the picture. Also note the pretty and dainty boudoir scuffs centered below in the group. You crochet these in three shades of pearl cotton. A picot edge outlines the perky tongue, which is set off with a cluster of velvet ribbon loops. Now that knitting needles are clicking so busily wherever one looks, wouldn't a handsome knitting and utility bag like that shown above to the left in the group make a gracious gift from one needlewoman to another. Or keep it for your own personal use, and you will see coveted glances directed" toward it. With all its handsome looks it really costs very little either for material or in time and effort. If you want to add an extra touch of distinction, embroider initials or- a showy monogram in bright colored yarn. Released by Western Newspaper Unloa.

BALBOA, CANAL ZONE.-TftfeT Women, believed to be the first to ! hold papers from the National Mari- j time union certify ing them as sea- j going cooks and bakers, arrived here | recently aboard a medium-sized freighter loaded with^ carga from the West coast of the U. S. for •the Canal Zone. ^ Two of the women, Mrs. Ruth Bogard; 25, of San Francisco, Calif., j and Mrs. Mary Cotton, 35, also of j San Francisco, have their union cer-j tificates already, while the certifi- j cate for pretty Sdmmalla Lavieia, J 25. from San Francisco, tooy is being ] corrtpleted. She left so suddenly that she did not have time to obtain, it, before sailing. * Called from their quarters, the door of which bore the sign "Three J ;Mess Boys," Mrs. Bogard and Mrs.1 Cotton proudly displayed their cer-1 y(ificates of service issued by the.:' ;department of commerce and told j /how they had been accepted for j .service at sea when eight other! women were turned down for sinii- { xlar jobSi , • ; They declare they are the first j Americans of their sex to be carried ; on seamen's papers anywhere. i Quietest of the three is Mrs. Cot- j ton. She doesn't know whether she ; is a wife or a widow, since her hus- j band, an enlisted man in the navy j aboard the USS Juail, which was in Cavite bay during the Philippine battle last year, was reported last May 30 as "missing in action." Worked as Hotel Clerk. Born in Ontario, Canada, Mrs* Cotton lived in Sault Ste. Marie before going to San Francisco, where1 she worked as a hotel clerk. ! •' "I figured that he (her husband) isn't going to sea right now and it; seemed to me that I might as well] sign up so that I could relieve some! young man for active service," Mrs. j Cotton said. She is mess attendant for the ship's officers. j Also missing, but not by notification from the navy department, is Mrs. Bogard's husband. He is a gunner's mate in the navy. "He's afloat somewhere," she said, "and I thought that maybe if I went to sea I could catch up with him in some port." Mrs. Bogard worked in the transit department of the Federal Reserve bank in San Francisco before she "ran into Mrs. Cotton, and her idea of signing up on a merchant ship, and here I am." She is mess attendant for the navy gun crew aboard the ship. Miss Lavieia--known aboard ship as "Frenchie"--was working as a welder in 9 Kaiser shipyard at $72 a week when she got the idea of seeing the working side of the ships she had been helping to build. Weren't Seasick. She applied for a job three days before the ship sailed for the canal, but was given only two hours to get her kit together and get aboard. The women had an argument over Miss Lavieia's title, but finally decided that she might be called the "salon girl." All three were proud at not being seasick as some of the men in the crew were. They all were covered with bruises for the first few days until they learned how to walk with the roll of the ship, but now consider they had gotten their sea legs. All of them declared that they like their new life and the skipper and his crew "just fine." Although the freighter carries several guns and sails under all wartime rules, none • of the three has been afraid. They take part in all the ship's drills, and attend classes given to the gun crew on rescue and life-saving work. For recreation they play cards with other crew members, or read. They earn $105 monthly, including the bonus. They all want to go to Australia, and are supposed to have a ship bound for there waiting for them when they get back to- the United States.

Most homemade butter is made from a rather'small supply of such cream saved over a period of a few days. It should be kept in a cool place until the desired amount has beep obtained. The churning of sour cream is easier than the churning of sweet • cream. You can sour, or ripen cream by , keeping it at a tempera- ; ture of about 70 degrees the day ; before churning. In the case of ; | pasteurized cream, the souring can be expedited by adding one or j two tablespoonfuls of, cultured but- | termilk per quart. In winter, a common practice is to warm the cream by setting it near a stove or ; radiator. During the night it should ' be cooled down and held at the j Churning temperature of 48 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit. The right temperature is of the utmost imporj tance. Use the lower temperature j in the summer and the higher one in \ the winter. Per,ry urges home but- ' | ter-makers to scald the churn and j rinse with cold water before the i crearri is put in. Then fill churn half j full of cream and turn with a steady | motion, remembering to remove the ! cork or top every four or five minutes to allow the escape of gas, ! When conditions are right, the tout- ' ter should "corne" in 20 to 30 min- i j utes. Stop churning when the but- ; ter particles are the size of wheat •.grains.-. i'; When the buttermilk is drawn off { through a strainer, wash the butter by adding about t\v^ce as much cold water a & there is buttermilk, and rotate the churn la few times. ; Remove the butter, sslt, and work ! out the water, • adding® about one ounce of salt to a pound of butter. . > \>' - \ " * • If -KXi * 7 4 V i ' * * V'Tt**' i as pieces of wood, heavy weed stems, parts of boxes and pruning wood, all of which have worms attached, need to be removed and ^ ^ ^ ^ ouuul burned.

Chinese Diet Rice and wheat are the staple foods of China, with soy beans, kaoliang, millet, barley, corn, and potatoes next in importance. The nation as a whole consumes little fish and meat, and small quantities of eggs, fruits, and greens, which are considered as subsidiary foods.
