Now it is commercially prepared by blowing steam into solventextracted soybean oil and is widely employed in the food and edible fat field. Tests at the Brooklyn Polytechnic institute show that added to mineral lubricating oils soybean lecithin aids them in withstanding severe operating conditions. By use of this natural product, synthetics composed of critical materials may be released, it is pointed out. Soybean lecithin contains phosphorus and nitrogen, two elements believed to have desirable properties as "ad ditives-' tor lubricating oils. Porterhouse Steak , A popular Version of its name origin is that a cook narped Ann Remi «k served at the Porter House in North Cambridge, Mass., after the close of the Civil war, and acquired such skill in the preparation of steaks that the cut she served became known to gourmets as "porterhouse steaks." It would seem, however, that the name has an earlier origin since it appeared in the London Daily Telegraph in 1864 when George Augustus Sala, a correspondent, referred to the porterhouse steak of America as "infinitely superior to our muchvaunted rumpsteak." One authority claims the name was given a cut of beef traditionally served in saloons where porters gathered and where 1 the brew, porter, was a specialty; Subscribe for the Plaindealer sons of Fox Lake celebrated the fortieth wedding anniversary of their unients, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M,f Schaefer, Sunday. i : < Mrs: Elaine Rose, Mrs. Regina Schaefer and Mrs. Marie Lewis and son.

UL ORGANIZATION ON THE HOME FRONT Conflicting hours tvhich bring members of the family home at different times, housekeeping tasks not finished because mother is at war ivork, and the general restlessness caused by a war --these and other factors can easily cause discord within a family unless they are overcome by intelligent organization. The unity of all family members in an effort to keep up morale is necessary in these days. This iceek a mother relates how she got her family running smoothly despite wartime problems and how afternoon tea has played a big part in her planning. as do both Franks; Sonia and the girls have set the table nicely and perhaps started supper. But we have tea first and dine at eight. "Tea in this case doesn't always mean real tea; it means 'light refreshment.'

Tankers Handled Bulk Of Oil Supply to East Before Pearl Harbor, the 400 odd tankers under the American flag constituted about one-fifth of our entire merchant marine and were almost entirely responsible for the low price and availability of gasoline and petroleum products. Sixty-threa million gallons of gasoline and petroleum products once reached the East coast every day by tanker. As we entered the war, tankera became the most coveted prize of enemy subs and while our losses were heavy, American shipyards immediately started to produce a great fleet of tankers, building faster than they could be sunk. The importance of tankers became evident to American motorists and fuel oil users when shortages Immediately became acute as tankers were pressed into war service, carrying super aviation fuel for our planes on every front, oil for our expanding and busy navy. Developed by the oil industry and the privately owned shipyards, tha United States has always led in tanker design and efficiency. Today we are building faster tankers, ships with cargo capacities of over six million gallons. Need Rubber Stamps! Order at Hie Plaindealer. VVNU Service) -U'&.£<•• . It The spirit of your home ii what you make it, war or no ivar. It is fot you to-give eournge to your own people, and take courage from them. i fly KATHLEEN NORRIS ON'T overlook the civilized old custom of afternoon tea, while you are trying to adapt yourself to the needs of this new wartime, busier world. Tea irr the late afternoon is a tried and true soother of human nerves; for long generations it has served its purpose in the homes of gentle peoples. In fact, I once heard a scientist say that we were the only nation in the world that served only three meals in the twentyfour hours, and that we were none the better for the difference. • The spirit of your home is what you make it, war or no war. It is for you to give courage to your own people, and take courage from them. The crisis of a war CAN be a means of disuniting and disorganizing a family, or it can increase interest and affection in the home circle and bring its members closer together. ' Nowadays Mother, Dad, sons and daughters are keeping odd hours, busy with tiring pursuits. Nowadays shopping is a nuisance, tiring and discouraging, and planning meals is too much for any one person to handle. Unless everyone understands the changed conditions, and will cooperate, there is household chaos. No meat in the markets, no maid in the kitchen, nobody's business to answer the telephone and put away the laundry--life has grown just a little too difficult and everyone is cross. . ' Afternoon Tea Solves Problem. "I helped solve this problem with afternoon tea," writes Erna White of St. Louis. "My family," her letter goes on, "consists of six members, all of different ages and occupations. My daughter Jean, 27, works in a munitions plant from midnight to eight. Her daughter Sonia, six, goes to school. Doretta, my son's young wife, is with us, expecting a baby. Both son and son-in-law get home occasionally from their respective services for leave. Also there is my younger son, 15, in high school, my husband and myself. My husband works from nine to five in a department store; little Frank, who is six feet two, has a magazine route, and takes main charge of one of the finest little victory gardens you ever saw. "Some months ago T realized that we were gradually growing uncomfortable at home, and I sat down and faced the situation squarely. The trouble was that we weren't ORGANIZED. "Well, I began with Jean, who gets home oily, tired, hungry, just as we others are sitting down to breakfast. I persuaded her, instead of dropping wearily into, a chair and hurrying her meal, to go upstairs, take a hot bath, get into nightgown and wrapper and come down again. Her room was always ready and darkened, with the bed turned down, and she slept, after breakfast, until one or two o'clock.-- -- St. John's Catholic Church, Johnsborg Masses: Sunday: 3:00, 10:00.

"Young Frank is instructed to air his room and hang up his things; Doretta, my son's wife, and I get Sonia and Frank off to school with their lunches, and put the bedrooms into perfect order. Then we descend to the kitchen and dining room and start on . breakfast dishes and meal planning. We find that to have the upstairs rooms in order is more restful than leaving them until the kitchen work is done. Often I can lie flat for an hour before going to the hospital at 12. I get home at six; they simply don't go. Nobody has to hunt up Doretta's sweater or < Frank's white trousers. Young Frank must do his homework between seven and eight, little Sonia sweeps the steps and sidewalks every morning of her life. And every night, at ten, we listen to radio or recorded music, and catch up on mending. This last was hard to establish. Everyone was sleepy, stupid, lazily busy with books or card games. But I insisted, and now everyone looks forward to this peaceful closing hour, when buttons and tapes are replaced, rips in sheets and hanging hems are put in order, and the precious stockings are darned. There is something domestic and reassuring about women sewing and talking together under the evening lamps, and the men like it as much as we do. The kitchen is quiet and dark, the dining table set for breakfast, the fresh vegetables stored in a cool laundry tub, letters from the absent sons are cheerful, and the approaching arrival of a new little member of the family keeps our thoughts on the happier future. Confusion Under Earlier Plans. "A year ago nerves were beginning to crack. Housework was everyone's job and nobody's job. Dust and dishes were everywhere; clean clothes weren't put away; dirty clothes didn't get to the laundry. Doretta and Jean and I floundered helplessly in the accumulating disorder. "Sonia loitered about 'to see "Mummy' until she was late--for school, and big Frank and I came home so tired and ravenous that dinner made us feel wakeful and uncomfortable half .the night. Our afternoon tea solves this problem. It is a break between the weariness of the day and the pinner and evenn^ hours, and we consider it a great innovation. Anyway," the letter concludes, "things are running very smoothly in our house now, dtnd as I consulted .you a year ago about my troubles it seems only fair to let you know that they have disappeared." at the hall on Court street.
