Correct way to bake turkey demonstrated by Uncle Sam's expert cooks. Washington, D.C., Dec. 4. Note to housewives: your turkey- baking troubles will be over and the bird you serve for dinner this yuletide will be tender, juicy and flavorsome if you follow the method used by the expert cooks at the Bureau of Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Continual testing and experimenting with various recipes has taught Uncle Sam's cooks that many a prize bird has become a "ham" when improperly prepared. The best recipe - so far discovered by the Bureau of Economics - is demonstrated in the following set of pictures, made under the supervision of Miss Lucy Alexander, Chief Cooking Specialist. Miss Alexander, a graduate of Vassar and the University of Illinois, has been on her present job for eleven years. Mrs. Jessie Lamb, Assistant Cook, is stuffing the turkey under the watchful eye of Miss Lucy Alexander. The turkeys on the table will go into the ovens at regular intervals, and be tasted and judged by a group of experts who are determining which diet and feeding program will produce the best flavored meat.

She said that she bought all the food at retail stores yesterday, found 11 different brands and 17 sizes of tomato juice cans, with no way to determine quality except to try them all. Asking for 1 quarter lb. tea packages, she was given packages containing 1-2 oz. less than she had asked for. Even though the package was marked as to net weight.

U.S. Expert on burnt and mutilated currency. Washington, D.C., Oct. 8. For years it has been the duty of Miss Bertha M.

Pettijohn, general counsel for the Hayes office, movieland's self-censoring group, was on of the first witnesses before the Senate Interstate Commerce Subcommittee which heard actor Robert Montgomery this morning. Gesturing wildly, he eloquently pleaded against passage of Senator Neely's bill to prohibit 'block booking' and 'blind selling', movie trade practices which remove theater owner's choice in selecting his movie bill. He offered to bring Walt Disney before the Committee to prove the disastrous effects of the bill if made law, saying that the biggest hits are seldom expected by either producers or theater managers. General Hollywood expert opinion was that 'Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs' would never sell, he said. 4-3-39

Method for preserving sweet cream indefinitely discovered by Government expert. Washington, D.C., Jan. 26. Dairymen the world over will benefit from a method discovered by Owen E. Williams, of the Bureau of Dairy Industry, U.S. Department of Agriculture, whereby sweet cream can be preserved indefinitely in sodium chloride, common table salt. To 100 pounds of cream testing 40 per cent butterfat, 7 pounds of salt are added. When the cream is to be delivered once a week from the farm to the creamery, enough salt is placed in the cream jar at the beginning of the week to preserve the week's supply. As more cream is added after each milking, it must be carefully mixed with the salt solution already in the jar. The salt prevents souring and acts as an anti-freeze. To remove the salt, Williams dilutes the thick cream with fresh skim milk and runs the mixture through an ordinary cream separator. The cream may then be used as coffee cream or it may be used in the manufacture of sweet cream butter or in the manufacture of ice cream. 1. Mr. Williams weighs out 7 pounds of sodium chloride - common table salt - which is sufficient to preserve 100 pounds of 40 per cent cream, 1/26/39
