Eggs can be prevented from cracking when they are boiled if you place them in cold water and bring them to a boil. If you want to place them in boiling water, then run hot water over the eggs first. Pie crusts will i,oi be so soggy for fruit and berry pies if you add sugar to fruit after half thef ruit is placed in the crust, and then pour th£ remaining sugar on the fruit after the shell is filled. Remove silk from corn ears eas ily by using a small vegetable brush on the ears after the husk is removed. RECIPE OF THE WEEK Pineapple Sherbet (Makes 4 quarts) 3 cups sugar Few grains of'salt • 1 cup orange juice • 1 cup lemon juice 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice * l a i cups light cream or evap orated milk - 4 v 4 cups milk Dissolve sugar and salt in fruit juices. Gradually add the cream, beating constantly. Add milk. Freeze in an ice cream freezer, us ing 4 parts of ice to 1 part salt. Or, freeze in refrigerator tray. Turn into chilled bowl. Beat thoroughly. Return to tray and freeze until firm. Fresh cake and bread slice more easily if you use a thin-bladed knife which has-been heated, then dried. Heat the blade by placing the knife in hot water. Angel food cake is very easy to slice if you use a sandwich knife for it. This knife has a small tooth edge which is good for cutting this texrture of cake. Cherries can be pitted easily with a simple gadget made at home. Put a pen point into a pen holder and use this for removing pits. Make certain eggs are—well chilled before trying to s e o- arate them. Then use a small fun nel, breaking the egg in that. The whites pass through and the yolks remain in the funnel from which they can be poured into a dish.

Fact is, it takes this design to get the most from “high compression” —and how high you can go depends upon the available fuel. Using this design, wartime aircraft engines operated on 100 octane gasoline. It also takes this design to get the more-miles-per-gallon which folks like in an automobile. So what gives us a chuckle is this: N o other type of engine has ever been used in a Buick—which means that Buick owners, all along, have trick word. It describes what happens in this engine. Inrushing fuel rolls into a swirling ball of gasoline vapor compacted around the spark plug. And when the fat spark sets it off, a cyclone of power lets go. Wh*n you com* to chock tho fiold you'll find that thoro's a tweot froodom from roughness to this ongino's oporation—trac ing to tho fact that tho whole mechanism itself is engineered smooth, and tho further fact that ovary Fireball Engine gats a Micropoise balancing after assembly. Of< been getting a lot of things that others have just “discovered.” But that’s not all.They get something more — vastly more — because to day's Fireball Engine has one standout feature found in no other automobile. That name “Fireball” isn’t just a * course, a Fireball Engine, being a valve-in-head, keeps pace with high-test fuel, when it comes to “high compression.” But what’s more important in the present state of the world is this: A Fireball Engine is designed to handle the not-so-high-test fuel we may be getting in the not-too-distant future. So, if you want to sample all that’s fine in motorcar engines, your Buick dealer is the man to see. Come in soon, and find out what the rest of the world has been missing.
