The other day a friend of hers went to the movies and sat behind a woman who coughed all the time. The poor woman couldn't help it and this friend knew she couldn't, but it got so on her nerves she couldn't listen to the movie.

Weeks' friend dug about in her bag in the dark, fumbling for the box of cough drops found It and passed It to her neighbor The woman gratefully took one and stopped coughing. Time panned peacefully after that and when the movie ended both women found themselves going up the aisle at the same time.

"I must thank you again for that cough drop" aaid the poor victim "it stopped my coughing at once But what was it? It had such a funny taste." "Why it's Juat an ordinary cough drop" said the good Samaritan naming a widely advertised throat lozenge and the two women parted. What Was in the Tablet? i BUT ONCE home Mrs. Weeks' friend looked Into her bag and found that she didn't have any throat tablets but she did have a small package of plant food and the awful truth dawned on her Horrified she called her doctor, told him what had happened and that she didn't know her victim and so couldn't warn her "What's in it, doctor?" she gasped, the perspiration standing out on her brow "Is it "No it isn't poison" said the doctor between wild bursts of laughter "It won't hurt her it's But here he broke down entirely and the rest was lost.

They just didn't stretch over the economical dishes most of us serve these days. Most good food is better for a suspicion of onion flavoring. This is especially true of economical meats which take long, slow cooking or braising. NOW AND then I get a note from a homemakcr which reads something like this: "Would you please plan a group of budget meals without onions? My family won't eat them." Since onions are simply added for fla-or there is no reason why they can't be left out of your cooking. If your family won't' eat the magic vegetable, don't use it.

You can get around using the actual onion and still have Its flavor, Hhwever. Boil onions in the water you are going to use in making a sauce, soup or gravy. Or make an onion paste by peeling and slicing two large onions and reducing them to a pulp.

We were watched day and night by the police, who checked all our comings and goings and liked us to keep In a herd. Nine Americans Held There were nine of us in all Herbert Matthews and Camille Cianfarra of the New York Times, Richard Massock of the Associated Press, David Colin of the National Broadcasting my husband, Reynolds Packard; Livingston Pomeroy, Allan Tuska and myself of the United Press, and Mrs. Paul Getty, universally known as Teddy Lynch, a night club entertainer turned opera singer and suspected by the Italians of being an intelligence agent. The police tried to prevent us from having contact with the Italian people, except that of a formal nature, but many Italians notably those who had relatives in the United States managed to get messages to us. After the first days of excitement, we resorted to anything we could think of to escape We played bridge, backgammon, chess and Russian billiards, collected what we called "Siena art," tried painting, rode bicycles and wrote notes that the police would permit.

My husband and Matthews each completed the manuscript of a book. Laughs Puzzled Police The police protested that, we were not solemn enough and were setting a bad example for the natives who had been ordered to maintain a serious mien because of the war. So we laughed in the policemen's faces and told them we were happy because we knew the United States would come back with a knockout punch. Finally the police gave up and told the natives we were crazy. Here is a typical one day's entry from the limited diary 1 was permitted to keep: Morning: Thin breakfast, read a while, wrote a while, studied a while.

Mid-day: Lunch, ping-pong, tried to buy something in the shops to supplement our limited diet not much luck. Cycled to a country inn where the peasants gaped at us. Evening: Thlnnish dinner, played bridge, read a few chapters of a book, bed. Members of the United States embassy staff, although permitted to remain in Rome, had about as hard a time as we did.

The experience was worth, while in that it left me with a greater store of knowledge a profound understanding of what freedom means. Until I was Interned I had ac cepted freedom as a natural con dition as most American do.

Now I know that it is something worth fighting for. Interned After Declaration My husband, myself and other members of the staff of the former1 Rome bureau of the United Press were taken Into "protective custody" Immediately after Italy declared war on the United States, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Later we were removed to the provincial town of Siena. One had a whirlwind of impressions at that time, but I do not recall that we ever felt in danger of our lives. We Just won.

In 2 Bottles MILK CO. 1-3131 Women in War Work Under the microscope on the slide you see a "slime-forming" organism magnified 400 times. This tiny growth doesn't look much like a saboteur yet it can cut down the load-carrying capacity of giant turbines in Detroit Edison power plants.

That is, it could if it were permitted to thrive. But an hourly gas attack effectively smothers it. In manufacturing electric power for war production in factories and for use in stores and offices and homes, Detroit Edison power plants require three limes as much water every day as the entire city of Detr oit. The water used to cool thousands of condenser tubes over which exhaust steam from the turbine is passed. Slime-forming organisms in the water attach themselves to the insides of the tubes and foul them.

This lowers the efficiency of the condenser, turbine, and the entire plant, and wastes fuel. An early way of remedying the trouble was to shut down the turbines and manually clean the condensers by forcing rubber plugs through the tubes. But even with the best hand-cleaning job that could be done, the maximum load-carrying capacity is reduced. And all during the time the tubes were being hand-cleaned, the turbine was out-of-service a matter especially serious in these days when our generating equipment must be kept running a top efficiency. So a chlorine "gas attack" has come to the rescue.

The water is dosed with chlorine every 60 to 90 minutes, killing the "bugs" that form slime. This chlorination has ended the slow "bottleneck" job of cleaning thousands of tubes individually. And it has maintained practically new equipment performance of the condensers doubly important in our wartime operation. The Detroit Edison Company. sp.
