Meatless Days? Try This Solution
Is America's heart bigger than its stomach? Tuesday will mark the fourth meatless day in the present voluntary peacetime food saving program designed to answer that question.
The majority of students are conscientiously trying to make this democratic experiment work. Knowing this, the home economics department under Prof. Edna Hill has offered to furnish busy student cooks with a few suggestions for planning nourishing meals designed to save vital foods.
In order to save meat and thereby conserve grain for Europe's starving people, Miss Hill recommends the use of four main meat substitute items—fish, cheese, dried beans and peas, and less used kinds of meat. Each Friday for the next three weeks, we will bring you a discussion of one of these substitute foods.
Fish Are Important
Fish Are Important
Professor Hill first stressed the importance of fish. The kinds available range from the expensive fresh salmon to the cheaper codfish. However the most important thing in preparing any fish dish, Miss Hill points out, is to be sure that it is well seasoned. In some cases the success of the dish depends upon the addition of small amounts of more expensive foods such as mushrooms, nuts, pimentos, and olives. With such extras, fish may be scalloped, creamed with peas or other vegetables, or combined with cereals and baked in a loaf.
Salmon Stuffed Peppers:
Also, the more expensive canned salmon and tuna may be extended by the use of rice, macaroni, or noodles. Although most housewives are familiar with salmon and tuna in salads, Miss Hill suggests the cooking of cheaper kinds of fish for use in the same way.
Any method applicable to the cooking of tender meats is suitable for fish. Short cooking at moderate temperatures gives the best results, Miss Hill said.
Here are some fish dishes you might like:
Make a white sauce by first melting $ \frac{1}{4} $ c. fat, then add $ \frac{1}{4} $ c. flour, 1 tsp, salt, $ \frac{1}{4} $ tsp, pepper, $ \frac{1}{4} $ tsp, celery salt, and stir until smooth. Stir in 1 c. cold milk gradually and cook over direct heat, stirring constantly, until sauce boils and becomes thick and smooth.
Add $\frac{1}{2}$ c. grated American cheese.
Stil until it melts, then add one No.
1 can (2c.) flaked salmon, 1 e. whole corn,
and 1 tsp. chopped onion.
Prepare 6 large peppers cut in half lengthwise. Parboil peppers 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt. Cool.
Fill peppers with salmon mixture. Bake in moderate oven (375°F.) for 25 minutes. May be served with boiled onions. Serves 6.
Boiled Fish:
Cut $2 \frac{1}{2}$ lb. fish (haddock, cod, perch, salmon, etc.) into serving portions. Place in heavy sauce pan or iron skillet. Add $2 \frac{1}{2}$ c. boiling water, $3 \frac{1}{4}$ tsp. pepper, 1 tsp. chopped parsley, 1 bay leaf, and salt. Cover, over low heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain off liquid and strain it. There should be $1 \frac{1}{2}$ c. liquid. Put liquid in sauce pan, add 1 tbs. lemon juice, and 2 tbs. sugar. Add 2 tbs. flour mixed to a soft paste with 2 tbs. cold water. Cook slowly, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Beat 1 egg yolk, stir into it a little of the hot sauce, then pour into mixture in saucepan. Cook another minute. Serve fish in hot dish with sauce over it; or on small hot platter garnished with parsley, with the sauce in a gravity boat. Serves 5.
Students Can Bring Souls To Christ, HermanSON Says
"When students carry on for the Lord, the souls of men will be brought to Christ," John Hermanson, guest speaker, told the University Christian fellowship Thursday.
Mr. Hermanson, inter-varsity staff member for the Kansas area, will be at the University for the coming week.
Miss Mary Beaton, former representative from this region, attended the meeting.
Gives New Shape To Your Skirt
Peek-A-Boo Petticoat
New York—(UP)—Slip a petticoat under your full-swinging skirt today, and you're half a step toward spring.
A petticoat that whispers or plays flirtatious peek-a-boo while it gives new shape to the skirt on top is the newest feature of a large number of resort dresses soon to reach the stores. And it looks today as if it would be as big news come spring as the $^{\textcircled{2}}$
waist corset has been this fall.
It has a similar practical function when it's used to boll the hips below a tiny waist. And it's otherwise useful in lending crispness to full skirts cut from soft fabrics.
In addition it has the undeniable romance of rustling taffeta and the pretty femininity of organdy ruffles.
Some of the petticoats are flared below the hips to stiffen a gradual fullness and give a good whirl to a wide hemline.
Others are gathered at the waistline to shape the skirt like a plump bell.
ASCE Hears KC Engineer
A sophisticated black cocktail dress with a draped- off-shoulder neckline goes innocent as milk when the plain white dotted swiss petticoat starts to show.
Bright colored underskirts contrast with somber dresses. Prints and plaids go under solid color dresses. Printed dresses are underlined with a color which points up one of their own. A complimentary pink goes under mauve.
One-half of the American people use underground water for domestic purposes and the industrial use is even greater, Mr. L. M. Heckman, vice-president of a Kansas City, Mo., firm, told the University chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers at their meeting Thursday.
Mr. Heckman spoke on the groundwater tables of Kansas and the Kansas City area. He also showed movies on locating and drilling high capacity water wells for use in municipal systems and industry.
The chapter decided to renew publication of "Civil Rites", A.S.C.E. newspaper, and Fred Gartung, Engineering junior, was named chairman of the publications committee. It was announced that the chapter will measure and place markers on a cross country course for the track team.
"We are asking all campus organizations to join the YWCA Minorities group and give their full support to the report of the Civil Rights committee of President Truman," said Wilma Hildebrand, chairman, at a meeting of the group at Henley house Thursday.
The Civil Rights committee published its report demanding that racial discrimination in America be wiped out. The committee, headed by Charles E. Wilson, made 35 recommendations to help destroy discrimination.
Ask Organizations To Support Report
Dr. H. T. U. Smith, geology professor, will be guest speaker at the Sigma Gamma Epsilon annual fall smoker at 8 p. m. Thursday in 426 Lindley hall.

YWCA To Hold Folk Craft Bazaar
A bazaar featuring folk craft from many parts of the United States, Hawaii, and Costa Rica will be given by the Y. M. C. A. at Henley house Dec. 5 and 6.
Among the articles to be sold are pottery from Ellsworth, Indian work from the West. hand-loomed articles from the Southern mountains, and maple sugar confections from Vermont. Before the war the Y. M. C. A. bazaars sold mostly imported goods, which are not now obtainable because of high import duties.
Swarthouts To Washington
Margaret Truman will be presented in recital in Washington, D. C. Dec. 22 under the auspices of Patrick Hayes, son-in-law of Dean and Mrs. D. M. Swarthout. Dean and Mrs. Swarthout expect to attend the concert.
It took the Civil War to knock the second "d" from the name of Edith Stadard, honey-haired College junior whose slim fingers tap timekey keys for the University Daily Kansan in her spare time.
Stoddard, who was equally annoyed at getting Greatgrandpa's mail.
Finally Greatgrandpa sacrificed a "d." He wrote home that the family name.would henceforth be spelled "Stodard."
And for 80 years it has been, although persons insist in restoring the missing "d." Miss Stoddard said.
"Even the girls I've lived with at school for two years still insist on using the two "d's," she laughed. I'm glad my children won't have the same trouble!"
Before the blue of the Union army and the gray of the Confederate clashed in 1861, Greatgrandpa Stoldard spelled it that way, with two "d.s." But in 1861 Greatgrandpa went off to fight with the Union army. During his hitch he kept getting letters addressed to another
