If you want your cakes to be per
fectly even on top, pour the batter
to the sides or corners of the pan
first, then tip the pans to get the
batter to spread.
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.

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.

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-

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.

Buick’s newest engine—
the F-263 Fireball-
gives this year's SPECIAL
the highest power in SPECIAL history
Remember-only BUICK has a
Fireball Engine
w
E get a chuckle, sometimes,
over all the fuss that’s being
made about “new engines.”
You’ll note that the key feature of
their design in every case is the
valve-in-head principle —whether
these engines are already in produc
tion or still in the dream stage.
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

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.
