SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS
(See Recipes Below)
Have you ever juggled a cup of
coffee in one hand, a salad plate
in the other, and at the same time
attempted to eat the appetizing food
the hostess has
served you? It is
a feat that even
the most experi
enced cannot of
ten manage.
To save a guest,
the embarrass-'
ment of having
his suit ruined by
a cup of coffee
tippihg over, or
salad dressing
trickling over the
•ide of the plate which is being pre
cariously balanced on the knees,
serve your supper on individual
trays.
Simplicity is the keynote of the
Sunday night supper. That is why
the "meal-on-the-tray” has become
so popular.
Plan your Sunday supper around
one central dish. It may be a salad,
a creamed dish served on toast, or
even a casserole dish.
Here is a favorite supper menu
for warm fall evenings which easily
adapts itself to buffet style of serv
ing, or a tray supper.
Cranberry Molded Salad
Cottage Cheese with Chives
Olives Relishes
Potato Chips
Hot Rolls Butter
Coffee
As you glance through the menu
you can see that nothing in the
meal, with the exception of the hot
rolls, requires last minute prepara
tion In the kitchen.
The buffet should be as inviting as
it is possible to make it. The cran
berry molded salad with a mound of
cottage cheese and chives in the
» center of the ring mold makes an
especially attractive center piece for
the serving table. The rolls may be
placed in a cunning bread basket,
covered with a napkin to keep them j
hot. The serving
table must also
have the neces
sary silverware,
dishes, napkins
I and trays on it.
I When the meal
is ready each
guest helps him
self. and delights
In the informality of the occasion.
Instead of using the buffet style
of serving, you may want to pre
pare the trays in the kitchen. Then
with the aid of the members of the
family, the trays are served to the
guests.
The following menu is an excel
lent one to serve when fall evenings
are a little nippy, and a warm dish
is appealing.

NEW YORK.—Whether Benedict
Crowell is a good prophet or
not may yet be revealed. Mr. Crow

Experiences of war> has been
CrowellGrooved named spe
Into Present Job cial consult
ant on de
i fense, by Secretary Stimson. Ad
dressing the Institute of Public Af
fairs at the University of Virginia,
July 11, 1931, Mr. Crowell said:
"Should a great war ever
again engulf our country, Amer
ican manufacturers, including
the new industrialism of the
South, as well as the older in
dustrlalisms of the North and
East, without waste of time, ma
terial or priceless human lives,
will perform their essential func
tion of munitions supply . , . our
national security Is on a sound
foundation."
Mr. Crowell, who was a consult
ing engineer before he became a
Cleveland banker and industrialist,
is a brigadier general in the ord
nance reserve. His specialty, as as
sistant secretary of war, was in or
ganizing our munitions industries
for the war effort.
He was widely praised for his
efficiency in this and gained
fame as the most ruthless cutter
of red-tape in the army high
command. This may have some
thing to do with his selection as
defense consultant at this mo
ment. Yale university, his alma
mater, recognized the above
service by giving him an hono
rary master of arts degree in
1918.
A native of Cleveland, 71 years
old, Mr. Crowell began his business
career as a chemist with the Otis
Steel company. He rose in execu
tive positions and at the same time
gained technical qualifications which
made him a metallurgist and com
suiting engineer.
He is the author of several
books, Including a six-volume se
ries called “America Went to
War," of which Robert Forrest
Wilson was co-author. One of
these volumes is entitled "The
Armies of Industry," singularly
pertinent to problems and back
grounds of our present national
endeavor.
Reporters, interviewing Mr. Crow
ell in the old days, frequently used
to note his resemblance to ruby Bob
Fitzsimmons, and deduce, from this
his capacity for hitting and staying
power.

but put the
date at 1943 instead of 1940. Today,
the author accepts the conquest,
which he tragically described and
makes common cause wit! t' o con
querors. He denounces G* al De
Gaulle and his followers as the hire
lings of England.
In present and future clinical re
search into the fall of France and
its causes, M. Marguerritte’s lament
and prophecy, as of 1925, will be
interesting. After describing the al
liance of French politicians with
"Prussian and Bavarian junkers,”
and the subsequent collapse and
conquest, he says:
"And then we shall be reap
ing what we have sown. It will
be the result of our policy of at
tempting the semblance of gran
deur—stupid because it is not
warranted by our power, nor by
our national wealth, nor by our
trickling birth-rate, nor by our |
exhausted finances.”
Years of self-indulgence, mad
pleasure-seeking, the softening
of moral fiber and the ebbing of
national vitality, he said, would
precede the final destruction of
the French nation. The League
of Nations, he predicted, would
be a ghastly failure.
M. Marguerritte is the son of a
famous French general of the :
Franco-Prussian war. In his study
were medals and memorials of his
father’s war service. He is a stal
wart man, tall and straight with
abundant pompadoured hair and a
Van Dyke beard.
He was a member of the Legion
of Honor and honorary president of
the French Society of Men of Let
ters. Poincare, no defeatist, had
urged his Legion of Honor decora- '
i tion. This and all his other honors
were stripped from him when he
! published an offending book, “La j
Garconne.”
He had been for 10 years an offi
cer in the French army. In his
books, which he continued to write
during his army service, he cham
pioned virile French nationalism.

* Foreign Invasion
C. Although there are fewer lunar
than solar eclipses, more people
have observed the former, for an
eclipse of the sun lasts only a
few minutes and is visible from
only a narrow path on the earth's
surface. An eclipse of the moon
is longer in duration and may be
observed from more than half the
world.

C. A certain species of frog, after
a heavy meal of fireflies, may be
seen in the dark by the light of
these insects shining through the
walls of its stomach.
C. In England no stage play may
be presented until its dialogue has
been read and approved by the
lord chamberlain and no public
address may be made by the king
until it has been read and ap
proved by the British home office.
C. Custom officers on the Ameri
can-Canadian border insist upon
cattle staying on their own side of
the frontier, even when their own
er’s pasture lies in both countries.
When cattle are suspected of hav
ing strayed into the “foreign” part
of the farm, their tails are doused
