OPEN HOUSE AT HARRISON SCHOOL NEW YORK.--More than a mil lion and a haV Frcnch prisoners cyr war, informed French circles report, still wait impatiently for release from behind barbed wire bar-i liers in camps scctte.-ed from the Rhineland to central Pt land. Most of them are working in Ger man factories--both civilian and military--or in the fields from which the Reich supplies its armies with food. Some of them, they say themselves in letters to the folks at home, are earning more money than they formerly did in civil life in France. Nearly all of them, judging from a cross section of their letters, are living only for one day--the day when they can go home to their country and their families. Many of them have not seen their wives or children since early in 1940, when French army leaves were cancelled or postponed prior to the German attack which resulted in France's defeat. Sources close to Georges Scapini, French ambassador to Berlin, charged with negotiating for prison ers' welfare, have estimated the total number of released prisoners at "not more than 100,000." However, one of Scapini's assistants, in private conversation recent ly, said this figure "could be cut in half without materially upsetting the truth of what'J already happened.,s Get Severe Setbacks. Scapini's organization, it has become known in political circles, suffered a severe setback in its negotiations with the Germans after Admiral Ftancois Darlans conference with Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden the middle of last May. Darlan came back to Paris and Vichy, these sources assert, and "talked too much." He said then that the Germans had agreed to negotiate the release of about 200,000 French prisoners. As it later turned out--and is still true today--what German officials gave Darlan to understand was that they would consider favorably conversations pointing toward negotiations to release that number of men. The difference is subtle--but when Darlan made a public statement, the French took it for granted that soon 200,000 of their men were coming home. An immense number of letters flowed into Scapini's office asking for information about what classes might be included in the new contingent, what procedure would Be followed, and how certain specific prisoners could obtain their release papers. * Special Classes Release*. Up to the present time, Vichy reports, the only actual classes which have returned home are the veterans of the World war and those men who have families of four or more children or who have had near relatives, such as a father or a brother, killed in action. Some individual prisoners also have" gained their freedom because of wounds or illness. Scapini, a World war veteran with an almost 100 per cent disability rating, works tirelessly for what he calls "My Youngsters." Scapini, totally blind, crippled and in need of constant attendance, also has a nervous disorder which pre-, vents him from sleeping. Scapini's mail reads like spinsters' letters to an "Advice to the Lovelorn" columnist. A mother wants Jean, head of a fatherless family, released so he can go back to his job in the town bakery, but cannot supply proof that there still is a job for him if he returns. The wife of a high French officerwrites in to seek the release of a nephew, whose wife is going to have a baby and adds: "It has been the custom in our family for several hundred years that the father must be present when any child is born." Snnsh'ne Declared to Be Needed for Measles KANSAS CITY, MO.--The idea of keeping Junior in the dark when he has the measles is just an "oldfashioned bugaboo," according to Miss Eleanor W. Mumford, a nurse associated with the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Miss Mumford conducted a clinic for school and public health depart ment nurses here. "Sunshine is essential to health," Miss Mumford said, "and children who are recovering from the^mea sles need the benefit of the stqi much as anyone else." However, she warned that eyes of children recovering from the measles are generally weak and it is frequently advisable for them to wear dark glasses. ^ California Doctors to n**** Study the ComriTSn Cold SAN FRANCISCO--A comprehensive effort to determine what causes the common cold has been started by the University of California medical school; Ten research doctors will collaborate two years on the problem in the hope of finding a solution. Whether the weather has anything to do with causing colds will be one of the first problems tackled by the medical school. - ... _ "jt • 1 Thursday, May 14,1942 f LEAVES" from OPPORTUNIST The manager was a tyrant and before he had been at the mill a fortnight, he was pretty generally detested and Wasn't long in finding out. Wishing to know the reason why he was disliked, he called an old weaver to one side and said: "William, how is it that the old hands here don't seem to like me? At the last place I was they presented me with a silver tea pot when I was leaving." ' "Only a silver tea pot!" said the weaver.

Hot and CM Air 'It was so cold where we were," said the Arctic explorer, "that the candle froze and we couldn't blow it out." "Thatfs nothing," said his rival.

In order to prevent sveh spoilage, and also in' order to have the nuts always ready for use at a moment's notice, it is quite practicable to sterilize them and store in vacuumpacked containers. For such a process, select fresh, firm nut kernels, newly shelled, and free from any bits of shell. Sterilize pint or half pint jars, and allow them to dry. Then fill the jars with the shelled nuts, and partly seal them. Place the jars in a hot-water bath deep enough to pome up about two inches on the jars and boil for a half hour. Then complete the sealing of the jars, cool them, and store in a cool, dark place. MAKING NUT BUTTERS The ingredients for making a half* pound of such butter are: 1 tablespoon of bland table oil, one-half teaspoon of salt, and 2 cups of blanched and roasted nuts. Grind the nuts in the food-chopper, using the finest grinding plate; repeat at least once, and, if necessary, twice, tightening the grinder each time until it is hard to turn. Add the oil and salt, mix thoroughly and pack in cans with lids that can be closed tightly. Note: The nuts may be blanched and,pasted for this purpose as follows: F^r t the almonds, pour boiling water^ over them and simmer at boiling temperature for about three minutes. Pour off the water and the skins will slip off readily. Peanuts require no blanching. To roast the nuts, for a half pound of nuts, shelled and blanched, put a quart of fresh cooking oil into a kettle suited to deep-fat frying. Heat the fat to 300 degrees F., or until a cube of bread dropped into it will brown in about five or six minutes. Put the nut kernels into a sieve that is deep enough so they can not float out over its top and lower them into the hot fat. Leave them there until they are a light brown, which will require six or seven minutes. Remove and pat gently with absorbent paper until they <u% freed from fat. NUT LOAVES In making a nut loaf remember to have, among the vegetables commonly used in the mixture, either celery, green peppers, or carrots, in order to secure a crisp texture. For croquettes, it is necessary to have a soft mixture. To Secure such consistency, use mashed potatoes, bean pulp or a cooked cereal. Almost everyone knowfe that chestnuts may be used to advantage in dressings for fowls, but many cooks do not know that various other nuts may be so Used. A very good stuffing for fowl, or for pork chopa, is made as follows: In 2 tablespoons of melted butter or other fat, cook, for a few minutes, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onion, 1 tablespoon of chopped green pepper and 1 cup of cut celery. Add 2 cups of cooked brown rice or wild rice, Vt teaspoon of salt and V» teaspoon of pepper. Stir the whole until it is well mixed and hot, then add a half cup of chopped hazelnuts and the stuffing is ready to use. This quantity is sufficient for a half dozen pork chops. Concerning the food value of nuts/ it should be noted that, whereas many people suppose them to be rich enough in protein to serve as a meat substitute, this notion is erroneous. The chief food value of nuts lies in their fat content which ranges from 35 per cent for coconuts to 70 per cent for pecans. Peanuts and cashews average about 40 per cent fat and English walnut3, hickory nuts and filberts about 60 per cent. The protein content of nuts is much less, ranging from 5 to 25 per cent; carbohydrate value is less than 25 per cent except in the chestnut which is very starchy. But nuts have other food values, not so well known. Most of them are rich in phosphorus; the almond, pecan, hickory nut, walnut and hazelnut are good sources of iron; the pecan is a good source of vitamin A, said to be so valuable for those afflicted with night blindness; peanuts, pecans, chestnuts, almonds, English walnuts, filberts and Brazil nuts all yield a considerable quantity of vitamin B.

Rust Stains Remove rust stains from front porch furniture with steel wool ami then go over with kerosene on a cloth. Never attempt to paint over rust stains; they will burst through the paint and look worse than before. Cigarette to Butt Millions of cigarettes are Smoked each day. They are lighted, smoked and the t>utt discarded. Now .just when does a cigarette become a butt? Do sex differences in smoking habits manifest themselves in the lengths of cigarette stubs? A recent survey was conducted on this and some interesting data resulted. Men throw away cigarette butts that average one and three-sixteenths of an inch. A few of the women's stubs were found to he as long as two and a quarter inches while others were as short as fiveeighths of an inch. The currently popular longer sized cigarettes pro* duced shorter than average butts for both men and women. Kecapitulating results in terms of cigarettes per package produced a startling revelation. A man throws away eight out of every 20 cigarettes he purchases. A woman throws away 10 out of every 20. Prevents Tarnishing For years after he left the V. 8. navy in 1919, Chemist William Peacock of Philadelphia worked unsuccessfully on a process to prevent tarnishing of silverware. He became the only mirror consultant in the U, S. 10 years ago, when Hires Turner called him into see what was wrong with its silvering solution. Amazed was William Peacock at pitcher-pouring. So he went to work on a new process, managed to support his Peacock laboratories meanwhile by supplying advice, standardized silvering solution, special rubber gloves and other mirrormaking accessories to the trade. Two years ago he found the answer, a speedier solution (his trade secret) to replace Epsom salts as a reducing agent. With the new solution he could silver a mirror ia 37 seconds, instead of over half an hour. Better still, the solution could be blown on by an air gun. With his process, mirror-makers could throw away their pitchers and work oa a high-speed assembly line.

Hormones Successful In ; High Proportion of Cases The average individual feels, as Ponce de Leon doubtless felt, considerable reluctance to enter that period in life when athletics, eating, and romance lack the zest they once had. It is natural and normal; to feel that way. But the scientist must look beyond personal reactions, to the social consequences of: the great increase in the army of the old--the more so since science is largely responsible for the survival of so many people into old age. Actual beginnings have been made, through applications of certain types of hormones or gland extracts. Since high level of accomplishment, in both physical and men- * tal work, is usually found in men and women in early sexual maturity, physicians turned first to the sex hormones. The treatment has been successful in a high proportion of cases. Middle-aged men and women have regained, at least temporarily, powers of decision and execution that had begun to slip away. In some instances, they even astonished themselves (and their neighbors) by becoming parents well after the "normal" age for that sort of thing! if* HASN'T DEC1D1 Saving Lives * Chemistry and medical scienca arm saving lives of many pe^aoas who have developed certain blood infections which were considered fatal only a few years ago. A dangerous type of blood poisoning is known as septicemia, in which the Mood stream becomes infected as a result of an infection of tha skin, of the throat, ears, or other parts of the body. The infection may be due to a variety of germs. While septicemia may develop from various kinds of germs, die germs most often responsible are the .staphylococcus and hemolytic, or blood-destroying streptococcus. Drs. W. E. Herrell and A. E. Brown of the Mayo clinic have made a study to determine the benefits they got in the treatment of septicemia from the use of the sulfamide drugs, such as sulfanilamide and sulfapyriddine. These are drugs which have just recently been dis- ' covered and which have been found, so effective in combatting staphylococcus and streptococcus infections. TIGHTWAD CUM lot i . arc..
