Take a Tip
1. Avoid stirring air into ,foods while
cooking.
2. Foods should not be put through a
sieve while hot — especially foods
• foods for babies and convalescents.
3. Frying destroys vitamins and en-
cases fat—so avoid frying whenev-
er possible.
4. Cook' vegetables in small amount
of water and use whatever liquid
is left.
• THE QUESTION BOX
;Mrs. N. C. asks: "What is the
reason for coarse-textured muffins
when I use sour cream instead .of
sweet cream?"
Answer: If you use a tartrate bak-
ing powder with sour cream, add 3
teaspoons of baking powder instead
of 4 teaspoons and you must stop stir-
ring the instant that the dry ingredi-
ents are just dampened.
If a calcium phosphate or S.A.S.—
phOsphate baking powder has been
used, stir until dry ingredients are
dampen,ed,, and then 4 or 5. strokes
more.
Miss J. M. suggests: That if you
make up your sandwiches for your
lunch box the night before, leave
them unwrapped in the crisping pan
of the refrigerator over night. They
will taste quite fresh at noon.
An English visitor suggests: • When
you empty a milk bottle, rinse out the
milk that remains with water and
use it for cooking, in gravy, or.eream
sauce, or puddings, etc. -

PLACES!
These howitzer shells, all stacked and
ready to "go places" are just one of
• the , twenty different types of heavy
ammunition being made hi Canadian
plants. These plants are going places,
-toot '1942 production. of all types of
hella totals a million rounds a
tuonth! And that, means complete
— cases, explosive charges,
fuses and other parts . . . all made in
Canada.
It tales plen,_ of 'planning to keep
all theahell e011epenents flowing
smoothly to the right place at the
right time. It takes a lot of telephon-
ing, too. And that is where we can
all lend a helping hand. Every call
you make is cairied over an inter-
loeking network of telephone lines
— lines already heavily taxed by the
volume of -war business. By being
,unselfish in your use of existing tele-
phone facilities by always observ-
ing "Wartime Telephone Tactics" —
you may be helping Canada's war
production more than you know.

boarel that decreased gradually as the
days' passed, but flared up again as
fresh news came in. Just before the
Excambion left Lisbon, ,there came
word that an American destroyer had
been ,torpedoed by the Germans. It
seemed that the United States might
be in the war at `any moment. Two
days out we heard that an Americaxt
passenger ship had been sunk just
south of us. Boat drill took on a new
earnestness.
About half -way across the Atlantic,
there was,fresh anxiety. A grey ship
was 'approching from the north, giv-
ing no signal. It looked like a mer-
chantman, but as it came cloeer, the
pesse,ngers with glasses could see its
guns. The Canadians •. took it for
granted that it was a ship of the
British Navy, and it seemed that some
• of the: enemy aliens on board,feared
the same thing. If it came alongside,
somebody seemed- likely to be taken
off, whether British or German. The
grey ship crossed our bows; several
miles ahead and then' put on speed
and was quickly out of sight. None
of us ever knew what ship it was, but
the 'Captain shared our view that it
was British. Fror&Allat time on, we
felt safer.
• The Excambion travelled alone, not
in convoy. it was lighted at night,
and had an American flag painted on
the side. It made just two more trips.
after that, ,before being taken over
by the American Navy. There must
.have been thousands of sad hearts in
Lisbon when it sailed away for the
last time.
• Living With Adventure
The stories of the people on that
ship would6haiit filled •a library, and
many of them were horror stories.
I •mentioned,some of them in the first
story of this series, written while on
the Atlantic. But I omitted the most
exciting of them all.
There was one passenger we di&
not notice till the' ship Was a day .out
of Lisbon. His real name never ap-
peared on the passenger list. He had
been private secretary to a ruler of
European country, a man who had
just disappeared when Hitler took
over the. country by force and treach-
ery. This man had been active in his
opposition to Germany and he had
kept one step ahead of the Gestapo,
getting to Lisbon at last, though it
took him two years to, reach it.
Perhaps he. grew careless, or his
luck deserted him there. The German
crowd in portugal. found . him and
had him arrested on some charge.
But the British were alert,' The day
the Excambion sailed, he got out •of
jail somehow and was nailed up in a
packing box. It came aboard with a
shipment of goods, under the eyes of
the Portugese police. For a day, he
stayed elown-tn. the hold, then came
on deck, a free man again. At Ber-
muda; the left, the ship, -'to land on
British soil at last.
;By comparison with this man, our
real live Prince of the House of Bour-
bon, pretender to the throne of
France, and a: French Admiral going
to join the Free French, seemed.' ord-
inary indeed. •
High Regard For Secret Service,
It was at Bermuda that the British
Secret Service took a big jump in
our estimation and the Canadians
had a chance to Stick their chests out
a little farther.
The arrival of the txeambion at
Bermuda was exciting enough. The
negro _pilot came out in his little
launch and boarded the ship'just be-
fore dark./ Bermuda con'sis'ts of a
small group of islands, strategically
situated in mid-Atlantic, with Hamil-
ton the chief city. To get to Hamil-
ton harbor, the ship had to pass
through a long -bay strewn wth mines.
The open path was a zig-zag affair
and the ship moved Slowly from one
r
".marker to another, the searchlights
continually moving . over the water.
One mistake there 'Would be just -too
bad.
In the harbdr at last, word went
around that the Canadians were free
td go on shore, along with the King's -
Messenger, but all others must stay
on board for search and )euestioning.
It was Bermuda' a ittiny season and
the water was 'paining dean in tor-
• rents, and I had seen Bermuda, be-
fore, So 1 stayed titt board and watch-
ed 'proceedings.
The ship was taken over completely
by the British, by agrdement with the
-Ship owners, of 'course. All mail was
taken ashore to be censored. All
alien passengers were, 'herded on to
the after deck until Their ,tnrns came.

In The:Garden
Adding Intrigue
A curved walk or driveway is al-
ways more intriguing than a straight
stretch, but if we pat in these curves,
landscapeexperts say, we must be
sure to make a reason for them other-
wise the whole effect will be artificial.
At the bend in the driveway or path,
therefore, it is well to have a tree or
a group of shrubs or a newer bed.
In screening, it is not necessary nor
desirable to cover the, whole of fence,
wall or garage, unless the same is un-
sightly. Much more pleasing results
follow where, the shrubbery, vines and
flowers merely break the lines ,of the
_
man-made structures- • them,
but leave enough she -wing for con-
trast.
For this work the- gardener usual
ly -employs perennial plants, perman-
more than we had learned in a week
with them. And they knew the cities
in Europe whence they came, • and
could detect the flaws in their stories.
It was a thorough inquisition, which
only the British subjects and 'those
few Americans in the diplomatic ser-
vice escaped, and it took most of the
night. When it was done, we knew
how the British can check up on the
damage done by bombing and can
collect other scraps of interesting and
valuable information.
No doubt, the United Stateseaffas
also benefitted from this thorough -
,going system as well. Some of the
Canadians were ,,a bit doubtful about
several of the passengers. There
were two men, both with English -
sounding names d passports) but
supposed to be seeping from France
to theunited States. • One of them
pi etenned
e a pacifist and quoted
A. A. Milne's poems to the children
on 'board, and the other one got drunk
on the last night on the ship and
started to, recite 'about Germany's
might and the uselessness of holding
out any longer against her. It was
Dave Rogers to whom he •was open-
-jag -out and oin Westeiii frierd-call-
ed, us over to hear it, and'vve felt like
,heaving the man overboatd. Perhaps
we. should have done it, but maybe he
is in an interment camp south of the
herder by this time. If not, he is a
distinct menace to the nation.
After the Excambion left Bermuda,
there seemed to be rto more danger.
That was before, German Submarines
were operating close to 'the coast, so
there was a chance to relax. On the
last Monday mbrning in October we
sailed past the ;Statue of Liberty.and
past the skyscrapers of New York,
to disembark finally on the. New Jer-
sey shore. •
That night, I was -back at La Guar--
dia Airport, outside Neve York, the
place from which the trip had start-
ed SIX ;weeks before. But this time it
was not the Clipper but a trim Trans-
Canada plane that took me up over
New York. The plans took a route
directly over the heart of the city,
where millions of lights shone, in
contrast to the blacked -out towns of
Britain and Europe. Two hours later
I could see the lights of Toronto and.
the long highWay to Hamilton, still
lighted in those clays. The big thrill
of the trip was ,to be able to step out
on Canadian spil again. Never before
did Canada seem so good. It 'wasn't
because it was safe here, but be-
cause this was part of the great
British Empire. Never before did that'
seem so important.

Rock Gardens
Steeply sloping, narrow lots make
ideal situations for rock gardetts.
With this .sort of ground,, the crea-
tion of a really unusual and individu-
al garden is made simple. Experts
do not advocate carrying on as it is,
however, but would sharply divide
the different levels. To do this a
variety of devices is recommended
such as a stone wall, a less Ornamen-
tal but stronger concrete wall screen-
ed with a hedge, or a rock garden.
with a few. stone steps connecting
the leiels.
.Sometimes, where the slope is very
great and over a few feet wide, a come
bination of all three -methods will be
the most practical and effective. Big
trees will be depended upon to hold
the general store in place, with here
and there extra support furnished by
siePs or short bits of wall.

PICTURING ,PETS
A LMOST everyone -has a pet, and
.t-1. nearly every pet makes an ex-
cellent camera subject—if properly
handlede Picturing pets does offer'
a few problems—for most amateur
photographers find it difficult to get
the pet to pose, or to get sharp fo-
cus move.
ofasubject that's always on.
the•
•
' To pursue our pet with the 'cam-
era would be a great mistake. The
dog or cat naturally beeemes ex-
cited and runs away, making it im- •
possible to get any pictures. There"
are several simple remedies—either
gently restrict the pet's freedom,of
movement, pick your . ant and
tempt him there with a . bait of
some sort, or select a moment when
he is quiet, then avoid any action
that may disturb or excite him.
Restriction Of movement doesn't ;
mean tying the pet to the nearest
ree. lidirsetiare-that excel'
tures can be 'taken when someone
is holding a• cat in his or her lap,
or shaking hands with a dog—these
things providing enough restraint
to .malre the subject "stay put." But
there 'are other methods. For et -
ample, wait until your dog is in his
kennel; post yourself outside with
the camera, ready for action. Then'
'whistle 'or make some other sound
that will bring him to the clOor.
• When he glances inquisitively from
the doorway -snap the 'shutter.
Today's. illustration was 'Made in
much this same manner. Skipriy—
leading the usual dog's life -was
resting ,comfortably on the front
seat of the car. The camera was.
carefully focused on the door, and
at the call of "Here Skippy," he
jumped up to the window sill, .and
this appealing: picture was snapped.
'When you use bait—a saucer 'of
milk for the cat or a bone for the,
dog — the same predfocus-ing tech-
nique can be used. Or an assistant
can be of help, temptieg the pet to,
the desired spot .with some choice
tidbit. When the dogor cat gets in,
a good position, the assistant qulcl-
iy steps.aside while the photograph-
er makes the picture.
If your pet has learned some
tricks, why not make a series of

snaps depicting each of e t h ese
stunts. Perhaps he has been taught
to sit up, roll over, or "speak" be-
fore receiving a morsel of •cander.
Snapshots of these tricks, mounted
in your album across the page, will'
add interest and variety to your col-
lection.
You can take pet pictures with
any camera. If you follow the hints
mentioned, the subject will assume
a natural pose and there will be no
Movement to atop. Of course, if
your dog displays considerable live-
liness when rolling over, you will
have to use a abutter speed of
1/100 second or faster.
Don't overlook the canary, the
parrot, love birds, rabbits, and
• many other pets found in homee.
They all make interesting and ap-
pealing pictures and will be excel-
lent additions to your album.
