Little triffes like eclairs and cream buns are so useful and po- pular, so I will tell you how to make Choux Pastry, writes a Home correspondent,

It is best for this paste to use very fine flour. which must be dried and then sieved on to 1 plece of stiff kitchen paper. The proportions of the ingredients are: 1 gill water, joz, butter, 2jaz. four, one or two eggs.

Put the water and the butter Into a saucepan and bring them to The boil

Some cooks prefer to rád one whole egg and half a yolk, and if the pastry is to be used as a sweet, sometimes the addition of a few drops of vanilla essence is prefer- red. This should be added just before the eggs.

If the paste is to be used for savouries, the addition of salt and pepper will take the place of the vanilla

London Supplies On Large Scale

Depots throughout the coun- try will also be filling up shortly. London will be the first caps, ital city in the world to bare ans masks for every inhabitant. These facts were given in a broadcast talk by Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd, Parliamentary Under Se cretary for Home Affairs, who is specially responsible for "air-raid precautions.

He said that while it was hoped that there would never be another air raid over this country, their only safe polley was to get the or- ganisation and equipment ready in case It should ever be needed.

Buch a room would be, so to speak, the Arst line of defence. But it was vital to have a second line of de- fence in the shape of the gas mask In case the gas-proof room was damaged, or to enable a person caught out of doors in polson gas to reach a place of safety.
