Eggs Getting
Cheaper, Says
Patsy Graves

(By PATSY GRAVES for ANP)

THE HENS HAVE STARTED
LAYING AGAIN; and therefore
eggs are-getting cheaper. That~s
good news to the housewife.
Eggs are a very important item
in the doily diet, and a friend indeed to the lady who likes to do
~good cooking.~ E are a Valuable source of protein fat; and
minerals such as phosphorus, sulsphur and iron. The egg yolk is a
rich source of Vitamin A.

IN COOKING, NO OTHER
MATERIAL has such numerous
uses as eggs. They are needed for
thickening liquids as in the case
of custards, for - providing the
stricture of cakes, for lightness
~asin souffles, as well as for supplying flavor and color in_ all
sorts of foods. There are brown
and white eggs, according to the
kind to hen that lays "em. Some
people actually have a choice in
the matter, though the material
inside the shell~ is exactly the
same. Any color of shell, the egg
itself should be fresh, very fresn.

A~MISTAKE OFTEN MADE
-is to cook eggs at too high a
temperature. This toughens the
eggs and makes them hard to di
fore frying your hen fruit. Smoking fat is byrning fat. Then there
are people Who wash their eggs.
That is what I call a fanatical
degree of cleanness, but remem

ber that egg shells in their natural state are coated with a

serves as qa protection against the
invasion o~ bacteria. This coating
is easily soluble in water and is
removed when eggas are washed,
which leaves the porus shell exposed. So in your zeal for clean
egg shells, you may hasten the
spoilage of the egges themselves.
I leave it to you to decide which
is more important.

THERE ARE TRUE EGG
DISHES and untrue egg dishes
too. A true egg dish contains
principally eggs, while the faithless kind has the addition of other ingredients. Our good friend
the OMELET is the truest of the
true. Don~t try to make a
omelet if, you don~t have a good

egg beater. And every kitchen
should boast an efficient egg
beater.

For a plain. omelet, four eggs
are beaten with four tablespoons
9 ilk. until well blended. Salt

nd/- pepper are added to taste,
the mixture is poured into a
ll greased skillet, Cook slowly
a low fire, When it begins
to set, prick with a fork to prevent bubbles from forming and
to permit the liquid egg on top
to run_ through to the bottom.
When well browned, turn.out on~to a warm platter, folding as you
turn out. ~~

THE SUBJECT OF EGGS cannot be well treated in one effort.
There are all sorts of possibilities. The important thing is to
use them in abundance, especially
while they~re cheap.

Negro women workers as a group
share the handicaps common to
women workers in the war production program; Miss Anderson pointed out. ~Women have not had adequate opportunities to secure the
training necessary to qualify themselves for many types of industrial
jobs which they could do very well,~
she said.

omen Neede

~The number of highly _ skilled
women workers available for war
industries is relatively small. As
unskilled or semi-skilled workers,
women can qualify only for ffidse:
jobs which require intelligence and
manual dexterity but no more than
a brief learning period. Thus far,
in our war production program the
greatest numbers of women are
working in just such jobs but conditions ~are changing rapidly. Women can and will be doing a greater
variety of jobs as industry expands,
as-more women are trained -and: as
more men go into the armed forces.~

WORK IN ARSENAL

As indicative of new ~trends in
employment practices affecting Negro women, Miss Anderson referred
to war industries in the Middle Atlantic, New England, Middle Western, and Southern. States. d

Negro as well as white women are
at work on essential war jobs in
the Government-owned Picatinny
(N. J.), Frankford (Pa.), and Edgewood (Md.) arsenals. In New England, a. New Haven small arms
amunition plant reports that almost
6 per cent of the ~approximately 1,100 Negro workers employed by the
company are women. In indiana
Negro women sewing-machine operators are working.in a hag-loading
plant. zt

A St. Louis small-arms ammunition plant still under construction
expects eventually to employ 2,000
Negro men and women production
workers. Another new munitions
works in Illinois plans to hire Negro
men and women. on operations.

TREND TOWARD WOMEN

An aircraft company.in Memphis
ted. that about one-fifth of

be Negroes but did not specify how
many would be women. The trend
in aircraft assenibly is toward greater use of women. ~

There will be new opportunities
for Negro women in the garment
industry in some places, particularly in the Great Lakes region where
the demand for power-sewing-machine operators now generally exceeds
the supply. One Chicago concern reports adding a~ complete shift of
Negro women.:

Turning to the farm front, Miss
Anderson said that both Negro and
white women with farm experience
will be needed desperately to help
met the serious labor shortage~ in
agriculture. ~Negro women will have
a decisive role in the battfe for.
food,~ she said. ~In one great agricultural section of the country
which includes twelve. Southern
States (and the District of Columbia), Negro women constitute about

40 per cent of all the woman labor-+

force. In these States the proportion

former English instructor and now

senior dormitory director at Bennett College, was honored by memPbers of the graduating class of the college recently when they dedicated to her the magnolia tree planted during their traditional Senior

~No one minimizes the discourage-"| ly

~The place of Negro women wage

not rigidly confined to any one

Notes On Shining
Those Fingernails

these days. There is.a-big-job

to be done. The pretty Lady who used to spend an aitcrnoon
in the beauty works is lucky if she can get her hair washed
and starched into finger waves. Doing finger waves at home
is pretty much out of the question. They require the professional touch. A woman cannot be efficient if her hair;
looks like a pile of jackstraws or poodle wool.

the underlying surface of the eaves
will be revealed; they can be removed by the emery board or beveling
file, which gives smoothness to the

edge.

Dip the stick in nail white, sweep
| % under the eaves, forming a clear
outline. Whether or not you include
the! eaves when applying polish is
your individual concern. Some do,
some don~t. If the nails are short
it is best to tint the eaves. Makes
_ the nails look longer.

USE NAIL BRUSH

Now for the good old soapy scouring with the nail brush. Loiter a
bit over this detail, as the warm water softens the cuticle. Dry wel}
Apply a cream, or olive oil if you
prefer. Your next job is to free the
curticle from the nail fabric.

Start at the left side of each nail,
gently forcing the stick under the
flesh. Continue to the base~go easy
there, so there_will be no pressure
on the matgix~then up the other
side. If yOU fluff up rags tags or
bobtails of cuticle, snip them off
with the curved scissors, holding
the points away from the eave. Remember, the slightest wound may
become infected, so be careful. _
