Klien - GI Joe Influences the Aussies' Eating Habits OI Joe is leaving his culinary mark on Australia. The presence of thousands of servicemen "down under," plus food rationing, has meant a break-away by the Aussies from their traditional meat, potato and pudding diet, the Australian information service reports. Mutton and beef, formerly eat^n almost to the exclusion of other meats, is scarce and rationed, so unrationed chicken is fast becoming a staple article of diet. In prewar days, it was almost always heavily j STATE OF ILLINOIS, roasted by Australian cooks.

Schmitt, Supervisor of said Town, do hereby certify that the foregoing statement is true ana correct, as I verily believe. Joe's habit of eating fruit for breakfast has caught on. Breakfast melon and orange juice from now on will introduce the porridge, bacon and eggs or grilled fish. A variety of canned vegetables are* currently appearing on menus down under,! now that potatoes are scarce, and* string beans, spinach',-peas, tomatoesi. and. tomato products are rolling out of newly built canneries in record quantities, according to the information service. Salads, once an unimaginative bowl of ,beets or lettuce and uncut tomato, are looking crisp ana tempting as Australian homemakers try out American ideas. The continent's fine fruits of all kinds have suddenly been appreciated by natives as well as the visiting servicemen, the report adds, and have helped make Australians healthier even on a wartime diet.

Photograph Snowflakea Photographing of snowflakes is not a common art, but the technique has been known for a long time and. astonishing results had been produced even as far back as 1886. Wili son Bentley has taken many thousands of photomicrographs of snowflakes, no two alike, he would say. The work must be done immediately after the flake has fallen, as even a short lapse will produce a simplification and blurring of the original pattern because of evapora* tion. The crystals are caught on a' black background and photographed at low temperatures, or they may be placed on a light transmitted from below with glass slide and photographed with .the aid of mil* von.
