EXPANSION PEAK NOT YET FATAL SKID REACHED IN ENGLAND

London, To-day.

THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR announced that at Sept. 11 HOW TO

MAKE SOYA BEAN CAKE

total registered unemployed numbered 1,330,928, com- prising 1,052,218 wholly unemployed, 227,099 tempor- arily laid off and 51,611 normally in casual employment. This was an increase of 99,236 compared with the month

before but 467,690 less than a year ago. Contrary to general expectations, the unemployment fig-bittee from readers of the article on

ures show only a moderate increase. Indeed, at the end of the first week of war unemployment had increased to a smaller extent than often occurs in normal times owing to seasonal causes,

The 99,000 increase compares very favourably with some peace time in- creases,

For example, betwen December and January last there was an in- crease of 208,000, while last year the increase between August and Septem- ber was 39,000.

It is interesting to compare the position now with 1914. Between July and August of that year the Trade Union percentage of unemploy- ment rose from 2.8 to 7.1 per cent. From the point of view of maintain- ing the fullest possible employment of resources, the experience at the open- ing of the present war is erefore much better than in the last. Near- ly three quarters of the increase in September is due to persons coming on to the register as applicants for: work and not to those who have lost their previous work.

MORE BATISFACTORY The employment position revealed by these returns is thought to be much more satisfactory than if it had shown that all the country's resources of man and woman power had been already fully absorbed and stretched out to the utmost by long hours of work.

na-

But the total reserves of man and woman power for carrying the tion's effort to a successful conclusion vastly exceed of course,

the un- employed reserve.

It is known that the total popula- tion of between the ages of 16 and

64 is now about

greater considerable

than in 1914. A very expansion of output is still possible before the peak of the nation's effort is in sight. British Weless.

It will also be not I that this weight of the dry bean takes up a considerable volume of water in the course of the prepara- tion of soya bean milk and that the wet (but drained) residue weighs twice as much the original dry beans.

The method of preparation of the soya bean cake from the residue left after preparing soya bean milk is as follows:-

Dry and partly cook the wet bean residue in a pan. Remove this on to a dish or plate for the time being. Cook to a syrup the quantities of oil, brown sugar and salt given in table. Then stir into this syrup the partly cooked bean residue.

Now mix together the flour, bicar- bonate of soda and calcium carbonate and add this to the syrup and soya bean mixture that it makes a

SO dough.

Knead up the dough and roll out into cakes about 3-1/3rd inches (about 24

chuen in Chinese measure) in width and 1/3rd inch (about 1/4 chuen in Chinese measure) in thickness.

Bake the cakes in a hot oven for three or four minutes.

The quantities given will make about thirty-five cakes weighing nine to the pound.

The cost including labour and fuel, amounts to about 1% cents per cake. Each cake provides rather over 100 calories of heat and energy. The bicarbonate of soda make the cakes light.
