THE BRIDE LEARNS TO COOK
(See Recipes Below.)
EASY AS PIE
No sooner are you back from your
honeymoon than the business of
planning menus, marketing and
cooking for two begins!
In your capacity as chief cook,
you're sure to find the task of pre
paring three meals a day a real
challenge. Os course if you’ve had
little past experience in the culinary
field, there’ll undoubtedly be at least
one batch of “heavy” biscuits, a
“fallen” cake or two, and even
burnt toast . . . but don’t let mis
takes bother you too much . . . and
he’ll soon be “crowing” about your
So-o-o Good Meals!
Because I’m convinced that the
ability to make really good pie is
your leisure moments#
If he likes desserts at all (most
men adore them), try your luck
with lemon-chiffon, chocolate, rhu
barb or even Spanish cream pie . . .
And, if you’re careful to follow the
foregoing suggestions, he won’t be
able to resist that second piece!

I’ve captioned the column Easy
As Pie . . . which perhaps gives
an erroneous impression. Easy to
eat, yes, but not always easy to
make. Pastry is tricky, but once the
technique of making it has been
acquired, it isn’t easily lost.
In making pastry remember these
points: (1) unless you are making
hot water pastry, have the ingredi
ents for making pie crust cold; (2)
cut shortening into the flour, using
a pastry blender or fork; or, if
you’re an experienced cook, and
work quickly, blending in the short
ening with fingers is permissible;
(3) add water sparingly, using only
enough to hold the ingredients to
gether; handle dough as little and
as lightly as possible after adding
water; (4) roll out the dough on a
lightly floured board or on a heavy
canvas; (5) cover the rolling pin
with a child’s white cotton stocking
—with the foot cut off—and flour it
lightly; and (6) place the dough
loosely in the pan to help prevent
shrinking.
Plain Pastry.
2 cups flour
% teaspoon salt
% cup shortening
Ice water (about 6 or 7 tablespoons)
Sift flour once before measuring.
Sift together flour and salt. Cut in
shortening with two knives or pastry
blender, making coarse pieces. Add
as little water as possible to make
dough stay together. Divide into
parts large enough to make one
crust and roll out on a well-floured
s board with as little handling as pos
sible.
‘Chocolate Pie.
Plain pastry
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
3 eggs
1 cup cream
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons soft bread crumbs
% cup chopped walnuts
Line a pie pan with plain pastry
and pinch with fingers to make a

Boiling a new rope clothes line

A round whisk broom serves as

Grease spots may sometimes

a piece of blotting paper held
against the spots with a warm
iron.
In planning meals, bacon should
be considered as fat rather than
meat, because it contains so lit
tle protein.

Spanish Cream Pie.

2 egg whites ■
1 baked pastry shell
Soften the gelatin in the cold milk
5 to 10 minutes. Dissolve over hot
water, stirring constantly. Mean
while, prepare a soft custard of the
scalded milk, yolks, sugar and salt.
Combine hot custard and hot dis
solved gelatin. Cool slightly, add
vanilla, then fold in the stiffly beat

Pour into pastry shell. Let set be

Sometimes it is fun to change the
flavor of pastry by adding an extra
ingredient or two to the recipe.
Cheese pastry, for example, is won
derful for apple pie. Grated cheese
is mixed with the flour. A half cup
of grated yellow cheese is enough
for the standard recipe.
Spiced pastry is excellent for fruit
pies, particularly peach, apple and
apricot. Cinnamon and nutmeg, and
perhaps a touch of cloves, are the
spices to use. A teaspoon each of
sugar and cinnamon and a fourth
teaspoon of cloves will spice a batch
of pastry. A little sugar also may
be added.
Crumb Pastry.
2 cups crumbs, rolled fine or ground
% cup melted butter
Blend butter and crumbs. Line
pie pan by firmly pressing in mix
ture about one-fourth inch thick. Be
sure to have it extra thick where
sides of pan join. Bake in a 375- to
400-degree oven for 10 minutes. This
pastry may be made of graham
crackers, vanilla or chocolate wa
fers or ginger snaps.
And last but not least here’s a rec
ipe for the pie that still leads other
meal sign-offs by a wide margin.
Apple Pie.
4% cups apples
Vi teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
1 teaspoon butter
% teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
Line plate with pastry. Pare, core
and slice apples. Mix sugar, salt
Moisten edges of lower crusts; put
on upper crust and press edges firm*
ly together. Place pie on bottom shelf
or rack in oven and bake in hot
oven, 450 degrees F., for 10 minutes,
then reduce heat to 325 degrees and
bake until fruit is tender and juice
begins to boil through perforations
in crust.

NEW YORK.—There are many
old-timers who won’t like this
war, when and if it comes our way.
There will be no Captain Thorne, of
H.R^dHand
Work in Army Service,”
Communications through ’the
critical Morse message and no Wil
liam Gillette about whom a drama
of communications may be built.
They scrapped the Morse, for good
and all about two years ago.
There’s no more hand work in army
communications.
These nostalgic thoughts were
prompted by the participation of
Maj. Gen. Joseph O. Mauborgne in
the big doings at Fort Monmouth,
N. J., recently, with a troop review
by the general and an amateur play,
“The Bottlenecks of 1941,” and
many other spirited goings on in
which the general was prominently
featured.
General Mauborgne, chief sig
nal officer of the army, is the
Thomas Alva Edison of aviation
radio—in the army at any rate.
It was in October, 1912, that the
then Lieutenant Mauborgne in
stalled the first radio set in an
airplane, at Fort Riley, Kan.
The army had 12 planes then,
and aviation meant signal corps,
with planes first conceived as
primarily useful for observation
and signalling.
Lieut. “Hap” Arnold, who
later was to become head of
the army air corps, flew one of
the planes to Fort Riley for the
installation. There was much
excitement, all over the coun
try, when Lieutenant Mau
borgne’s cumbersome quenched
spark radio set managed to watt
a few signals earthward. There
was still more excitement when,
in 1914, the lieutenant achieved
the first two-way communication
between an airplane and a
ground station.
He had started something there
and came along with it, to today’s
miracles of aerial chatter. He at
tained his present rank September
15, 1937, having been for the pre
vious year director of the radio lab
oratory at Wright Field. For 29 ■
years his work has been an un
ceasing concentration on develop
ment and experiment in aviation
radio. His career is one of many
;ecent reminders of our possibly un
suspected high degree of prepared
ness in varied and highly specialized
trained personnel.

If Ponies Do Fail chalk this
day up in the big history book.
After all this wistful talk about the
United States releasing a blizzard of
airplanes if it ever could get into
mass production, Mr. Emanuel’s
company, Vultee Aircraft, Inc., an
nounces that it is swinging into the
straight-line, conveyor-belt output
which, in automobile production
here, made all other countries just
added starters. The system has
been proven and the Vultee com
pany says it will quadruple its pro
duction.
Most war talk seems to boil down
to just about that possibility.
Mr. Emanuel has made a shift
from finance to management,
partly under circumstances over
which he had no control, and
management would seem to be
the gainer. When, in 1926, at the
age of 28, he inherited the $95,-
000.000 National Electric Power
company from his father, the
utilities field wasn’t safe for
amateurs. The company caught
the acquisitive eye of the late
Samuel InsuU. But Mr. Eman

poration and thereafter protect

He was born and grew up in
Dayton, Ohio, fount of aviation
genius, and was educated in the
University of Dayton and Cornell.
His father was Albert Emanuel, util
ity financier.
Vic Emanuel’s interests have
been divided. He expatriated him
self in England for a few years,
having a wonderful time as master
of the Woodland Pytchley hounds.
He bought the 800-year-old Rocking
ham castle and rocked the country
side with a party of about 1,000
guests—imported Americans and
British nobility—which made the
British generously admit they had
never seen a real party before. Now
he may show them something about
making planes in a hurry, wltich
probably interests them more than
parties at this moment.
