OUT AT HOME!
IF FIRE forces you to
pay rent for temporary
quarters OR if it drives
out your tenants . . . you’ll
be “out” plenty of money
— unless you have Rent
or Rental Value Insurance
to cover the full amount.
Let us explain this vital
protection to you today! ,

Each month more than 2,000,000 charts roll off the presses of the
U. S. Navy Hydrographic Office, giving detailed, vital data on
the harbors and expanses of the seven seas. U. S. Navy ships are
constantly charting new segments of the oceans, new ports of
call, new reefs and channels. Not only the Fleet, but friendly
mariners of many nations profit by these charts. Above is the
USS Bowdoin, famous exploration ship formerly owned by Cmdr.
Donald B. McMillan, Arctic explorer, which is still in active serv-
ice for the Hydrographic Office of the Navy.

demonstrated by Mrs. French is
included here because of the ex-

the unusual procedure in making:

114 tsp. scda
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. soft shortening
Crumble into above mixture one
cake compressed or dry yeast.
Stir until yeast is dissolved
Mix in 2 1-2 to 2 3-4 cups sifted
flour, adding to mixture in two
additions (using amount of flour
to make dough easy to handle.)
Turn onto floured board, put in
warm place, cover with cloth and
let stand ten or fifteen minutes
until dough tightens.
Roll out and form into rolls.
Let rise 1 1-2 hours.
Bake.
