1 inches is BROOKLYN EAGLE, TUESDAY, NOV. 3, 1942 WOMEN The Waacs and the Waves Are Here AgainYou May Be Cooking With Rationed Gas GERTRUDE McALLISTER This Uniform World ready to receive Waacs out at tary secret? At any rate, soldiers are to have sunken hope that there will be no shortage of hot water. And yesterday some navy nurses caused heads to turn. We could hear the two men walking ahead of us utter a sweet "mmmm!" They did look awfully nice and we wish they would station one or two of them near a navy recruiting poster because they'd sure cause the enlistments to swell. We're just waiting till some of the Waves start touring the city--there will be more "mmmm!" in the breeze.

Snappiest of the uniforms we bumped into yesterday is that worn by the volunteers working for the Treasury Department's war savings staff. Done in a salute blue, gold silk braid is used on the suit and on the visored cap. Medal for a Volunteer We were talking with one of those volunteer war bond saleswomen and she told us that in her office this past week the supply had to be replenished and there was some bookkeeping difficulty. The head of the office took $2.000 out of her own pocket to meet the emergency. She will remain anonymous because as she would say herself: "People don't talk about such things." Like Fish? Within five weeks a total of 54.7 million pounds of salmon, 48 million pounds of California sardines, 12 million pounds of Maine sardines and 7.2 million We're told that they're getting Camp Upton, or is this a miliwe're consumed because the girl bathtubs.

We only hope and pounds of mackerel will start to reach grocers' shelves through a release order of the WPB issued Oct. 26. Believe it or Not -In this city the gas supply is manufactured from coal and oil. Both products are seriously needed by our war industries. Unless consumers in New York and New Jersey help in conserving gas now, it might become necessary to ration it, too.

The technical aspects of gas conservation have been given space in all of the papers but one cause of gas-wasters has not yet received attention. Considerable gas waste occurs in homes because of dinners kept warm, waiting on stove for various members of the family to show up. If housewives can corral their families and get them all to eat together at one time, much gas will be saved! It's our personal opinion that a lot of tempers would be kept in better order, too. Maybe, before very long this call: "Jim. come for dinner.

It's been ready for 40 minutes now." To: "Jim, the 6 o'clock gas ration will be up in five minutes. Come to dinner now or eat it cold." Anything is possible--whoever thought this country would be down to one cup of coffee a day per person and that most women would be going around in flat heeled shoes? Helen Worth Woman Must Be Wage-Earner and Seeks Night Job in Defense Employment Dear Helen Worth -Where can a woman who can only work at night get a job? I do not have a high school education; in fact, didn't finish grammar school. My husband didn't, either; but was first in a civil service examination where four thousand others competed. Will you please tell me if all those boys who are fighting have to have a high school education? I'm 30 years and the mother of four young children, the oldest 10 years. My husband is sick and unable to work at present.

We live on a small pension and I need a job badly. I was a weaver in a cotton mill in the South for five years before my marriage. I sew my own clothes. I can knit, crochet, tat, embroider and cook. When it comes to hard work I am sure I can compete with the average man.

Would like to take up welding or a mechanical course but cannot afford the tuition fee. Could you please give me infornation as to what I should do or where I should go for work? O. T. My dear O. in the army, Davy, Coast Guard or marines are needed for various jobs.

Always education helps an individual; but there is work in all branches of the service that must be done. but that does not require much knowledge of the three R's. Certain persons go through life without benefit of formal education but manage to learn from every one they meet and from everything they read. They are fortunate and often successful. But because these are rare individuals and most minds require training by capable instructors, educational qualifications are insisted upon today in almost all firms.

It is possible that in Brooklyn some of the clothing factories are working at night, but I have been unable to locate one. Go to 205 Schermerhorn the U. S. Employment Bureau. There you can learn of any opportunities concerning possible employment and of courses being given.

I hope you can find something. HELEN WORTH. To Buy Wheel Chair Dear Helen Worth--Do you happen to know of any private inindividual or individuals from whom I might purchase a wheel chair at a reasonable price? L. My dear R. it is not customary to publish requests akin to yours, in this instance it seems wise.

Letters to you will be forwarded. HELEN WORTH.

Safety Clothes For War Workers The Wises, or "women's industrial safety coveralls," were designed to insure maximum safety for the woman war worker. Shown in two poses at the left, the outfit has been introduced to the metropolitan area by The Namm Store and was made to meet requirements of the Brooklyn Navy Yard for its women employes.

The has tapered slacks, flat slit pockets, convertible neckline, tight fitting sleeves and no cuffs or straps to tangle with machinery. Strong, navy cotton twill was used to make the comfortable, two-piece uniform. The shoes, below, are also approved and have low heels and rubber lifts. They can withstand 250 pounds of hydraulic pressure because of the plastic toe box and due to the oil treatment of the sole, women can walk on an oiliy or wet floor without any dampening of the inner sole. Mrs.

Hobby Visits British Gunner Girls "Here to Learn," Says Waac Chief, Touring ATS Camp At an A. T. S. Camp in Southeastern England (By -A pretty woman in a trim, two-tone, brown uniform walked along the parade ground here today. A British sergeant glanced casually at her as she passed, caught sight of the spread eagles of a United States Army colonel, stiffened and snapped into a smart salute.

Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, head of America's Waacs, returned the salute just as smartly and continued her tour of inspection. She was at the camp--an Auxiliary Territorial Service Officers Training unit and mixed ack-ack battery school--to gather information on the business of running a women's army. "I'm here to learn," she said. "You've been in it so long and you can teach us a lot.

We're still, to use an American phrase, 'green' to the army. But we're learning." 'Problems Class' With her aide, Lt. Betty Bendel. of Tucson, Mrs. Hobby was shown round the camp by Deputy Controller Whateley of the A.

T.S. They visited first a "practical problems" class where officer candidates learn by actual experience how to deal with the problems which are likely to face them when they are put in charge of a number of girls. Mrs. Hobby watched as they heard the case of a girl who asked for leave because her mother was ill. The girl was granted compassionate leave and also received her fare home as advance pay.

Mrs. Hobby also visited a session of the Army Bureau of Current Affairs and a class on military law. The party then saw the living room and the cafeteria where A. T. S.

girls have done their own decorating, with bright designs stencilled on the blackout curtains and murals covering the walls. Gunner Girls Later in the day Mrs. Hobby visited a mixed, heavy ack-ack guntraining school, where both men and girls were going through gun drill. A red-headed A. T.

S. corporal was ordering her squad of predictor girls around with true army gusto, prodding them with a "Move. can't you." or a "Jump to it. I said--jump to it." Beyond them, steel helmeted Tommies waited for the girls' findings SO they could get their 3.7s into position. Mrs.

Hobby then stepped indoors, where squads of girls were learning the very difficult "unseen target procedure" spotting enemy aircraft, giving the word to fire, plotting the course of the craft and tracking it down the moment it comes within gun range. This, like radio location, is most expert work, demanding tremendous application to the target-finding and rangefinding instruments. Mrs. Hobby was enthusiastic about Britain's "gunner girls," their endurance, their reliability and their powers of concentration. Soon, when she returns to the United States, the girls under her command may be assigned to similar tasks.

New Shop Devoted to The Peanut Products Run From Candy to Cooking Oil By MARGARET PETTIGREW A neat, intriguing little store is the peanut products shop which opened last week in our borough.

Devoted entirely to the peanut at its best, its companion products and its good values, the store has much to offer by way of bargains for health and good nutrition. Owned and operated by two sisters who became interested in peanut possibilities a couple of years ago, the peanut products shop points the way to things to come. Having studied under the famed scientist Dr. George Washington Carver, these two realized that peanuts were fully capable of assuming great responsibility in today's world of food. Although peanut brittle, salted peanuts of finest quality and peanut dolls for table favors are given their just due in this establishment, the king pin of them all is the clear, jewel-like, golden goodness of 100 percent pure peanut oil.

It also would seem that peanuts have enlisted in the war. With supplies of olive oil cut off, we have turned to other sources and, to the surprise of some, have found that the lowly goober can, with proper handling, yield a superb product perfectly adapted to all cooking uses. Hence, peanuts have taken on the job of supplying a splendid oil for home use. Many Fine Qualities But before we deal with the uses of this oil let's consider what it offers nutritively. To begin with, it is stated in plain truth that peanut oil feeds whatever it touches -a wrinkled skin, a broken fingernail, a tired muscle or an empty stomach.

It is rich in vitamins, especially B-1, and provides a healthful lubricant for the body. Now for its place in cooking. Peanut oil is smokeless and odorless and can be used over and over again, since flavors are not carried over from one food to another. In fact, we tasted a cake made with peanut oil that had previously seen duty for frying fish. Sounds unbelievable but there wasn't a fishy taste in an ovenful.

Combined with lemon juice, peanut oil makes a satisfying salad dressing, and when used as the shortening for baking it gives a satin smoothness that delights. The two sisters themselves have 105 recipes using peonut oil in cooking--in cakes, pastries and fried foods--any one of which they would be pleased to give you for the asking. How does peanut oil taste? If you have a strong imagination you might fancy you found a hint of peanut flavor. But the most alert taster cannot find even that hint when the oil is used in cooking. And the price pleases.
