L ^ , THE COMMl'MTT SUPPER (Sec Recipes Below) So you're to manage the next com munity supper? And you're pan tv ieky about tt! Of , course it s a Job to feed 200 people appetizingly and leave $25 profit in the treasury. But it can be done! If you must eye the nickels when serving church or club suppers, study the following eight-point program for “feeding the multitude"; (1) Pick a general chairman who can picture the job as a whole. <2) Appoint a responsible person in charge of each food. (3) Arrange the kitchen conveniently for the dif ferent jobs. (4) Prepare as many foods ahead of time as possible. (5) Have utensils ready and garnishes at hand. («) Name a hostess to di rect waitresses. (7) Plan a uniform method of serving (8) Plan menus well ahead of time. If the meat dish is different, the whole meal seems to have variety. And there's many a trick for serv ing thrifty cuts differently. Take meat loaf, for instance. A ham loaf de luxe with a good mus tard-horseradish sauce will “make" any meal. Beef stew can be thick ened a little, ladeled into dripping pans, covered with rounds or squares or diamonds of biscuit, and when baked it appears crustily and temptingly yours If you wish to make it more “de luxe" bake and serve in individual casseroles. For something different, plan for meat balls with rice. You can serve buttered turnips, and a salad made of cabbage, celery, green peas and pimento which certainly sells the men this menu.

XJEW YORK-It probably isn't safe to score the runs, hits and put-outs of this war too definitely, but it looks as though the retirement of scraggly Score One for old Gen J. B. England With M. Hertzog Hertzog Quitting So“lh African poli tics could *c£! be put down as a count for England. The former pre mier. a stubborn bold-out against war aid or closer alliance with Brit ain. relinquishes his leadership and resigns from the retmited National ist party. He had formed this party ear ly In the war, la anile dissident elements after his bitter politi cal enemy, the darable Gen. Jan Smuts, had wrested the premier ship from him on the issae of closer adherence to the British empire and its war aims. The issue was fairly close and he recrailed formidable opposition. His withdrawal appears to make this particular outpost of em pire much safer far the British. He would have made a good breathitt county feudist, with a quick trigger-finger and a long mem ory. He fought like one. in the hills and the veldt in the Boer war and of his ragged mustache and hardscrabble white beard an inter viewer twice said: "His whiskers bristled when I mentioned Eng land" Calling himself a "loose asso riaUenist," he has sought to make the tie with Britain looser and looser. He has been no apologist for Chancellor Hitler, but most of his views and atti tudes have been those of a be liever in the authoritarian state. He vigorously has opposed votes, beer and property for the blacks and has elaborated, with great intellectual facility, a scheme for a disciplined state, In which the supremacy of white culture is the keystone. He is a Johannesburg lawyer and politician, brilliantly educated, the son of a Dutch clergyman. A stem old pietist, with the sharpest tongue in the commonwealth, he scolds the burghers for their unseemly beha vior. In the spring of 1929. the cur rent high kicking and low think ing stirred him to an atrabilious ontbreak in which he said all this foolishness would be pun ished In a few months by the worst crash the world had ever known. He advised all hands to hide or bury anything they might have. Similar predictions have given him somewhat the role of a prophet in South Af rica. “Old Jeremiah was right." they are apt to say. With the equally tough and belli cose old General Smuts he has en gaged in much bare-handed politi cal milling for many years, although they once were allies. General Hert zog became premier in 1933 and General Smuts never ceased firing until his victory last fall. CRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, the * more internationally than nation ally famous architect, sees the doom of the big city and the main hope for a a-. -U/ • .- happy days in Architect Wright a generally Sees Doom of de-centralized Our Big Cities cosmos Hav ing heard him lecture several times, I cannot help thinking there is much wistful think ing in his prophecy. Trapped in any big city, Mr. Wright should soon be a hospital case Ever since he came from the prairie town of Richland Centre, Wis.. he has had a feud with the big towns. He now finds a new ally in the imminence of bombing. One of the world's great in novators, if not rebels, in archi tecture, he has won far more arclaini in other countries than his own. His greatest achieve ment was the Imperial hotel, in Tokyo. His unique blend of aes thetics and utility, passionately expounded in a wide philosophi cal context has stirred contro versy, but always seized atten tion. In person, the unrelenting foe of the etty is a big-town cit izen, custom-made from tip to toe. easy and assured, but not urbane, because he's too dis pleased with cities. HEADING the U. S. government’s new flying wedge against Nazi propaganda in Latin-American coun tries is the genial James W. Young, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Mr. Young is chairman of the newly formed com mittee on communications, with $3. 000,000 to -pend. Mr. Young was the first experienced business man to head the above bureau. At the age of 42. he had retired with a comfortable fortune as chairman of the board of the Lane Publishing company of Chicago. I NATIONAL AFFAIRS Rtvi*w*d fcf CARTER HELD Republicans in W ash in&on ask who will be leader of their party . . . Many criticisms muzzled by the elections to be aired now. ■ Bell Syndicate— WNU Service ! WASHINGTON -National politt cal observers are asking: Who is going to be the leader of the Re publican party* Wendell WiUk:e is going to be a big figure, of course, for some years to come, but while be will be the Utu!a r leader, the rank and file of the party will really be searching for somebody new. Republicans do not go in for re nominating men who have been defeated. Charles E. Hughes was not renominated in 1910. He was scarcely r entioned Yet he had made a very strong race in 1918, and was tar and away bigger m every respect than the man the 1990 convention nominated. There Is another point about Will kie. He has announced that be will resume the practice of law. The probability here is that be will go— politically—the way of John W. Da vis. Willkie has enjoyed a substan tial income now for 10 years. It does not take any man’s family long to grow up to a big income. It is very difficult for a family's finan cial “necessities" to be reduced. This will make it very Likely, to put it mildly, that Willkie will have to seek big fees. That is what John W. Davis did. and if Willkie does seek big fees he will be even more branded as connected with the "big interests” than he was in the cam paign just ended. BOOVER UVLIKELYCONTENDER Herbert Hoover, the only living ex-President, always aspires to the leadership of the partv. but it would be more than surprising if be can attain it Too many of the top ser geants of the party regard him as political poison Those who thought Hoover effective on the stump in the Willkie campaign had great difficul ty persuading^ocal politicians to ar range meetings for him. The view of the local leaders was that Hoover would do the cause more harm than good. It is not a question of intellectual reasoning. It is not a question of whether Hoover is right or wrong in his defense of his own adminis tration. The faots are never im portant in politics. It is what people think that is important, and too many people just naturally think Hoover is bad medicine. Alfred M. Landon has never been important since his defeat in 1936. if one excepts the brief interlude at the Philadelphia convention, when he controlled the Kansas delegation. Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minne sota might have become the logical leader if he had made a better show ing in his own state this time. Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg’s tri umph was spectacular in Michigan, but here again the Republicans seem to regard as shopworn any man who has tried and failed for the big nomination a few times. • • • CAMPAIGN SILENCE ENDED Now that the election returns have passed into history, we will hear a lot of things and see some fireworks on w'hich there has been a time fuse until the count of the ballots had been concluded. One of these is a tremendous Democratic protest against the ship ping of machine tools to Soviet Rus sia. Many Democrats in the house and senate would have broken out about this before now had it not been for the fear that what they said might have an effect on the presidential campaign. William S. Knudsen's pointed re marks that the production of air craft in this country encountered a bottleneck because of the scarcity of machine tools made a deep im pression on many senators and rep resentatives. Then when they found that part of our machine tools were being released to the Communists, thus slowing down future production of airplanes in this country both for our own national defense and for Britain, some of them went straight through the ceiling. During the campaign, of course, senators and representatives who have talked at all have talked with the intention of helping the candi dates they wanted to win. Plenty ‘ of the Democrats disagreed pro j foundiy with President Roosevelt : Plenty of the Republicans disagreed i Just as profoundly with Wendell , Wilikie. The lid is off. now. and we are going to hear plenty. Lots of the statesmen are ready to take their ; hair down and cell spades some j thing else besides agricultural im j plements. And. outside of campaigns, most ! senators like to say sensational things—it gets them publicity. And | the boys do like to see their names and pictures in the papers. Here Comes The Bride m By D. |. WALSH (AanUM Hr* spacers » WNU Serrtce. *«/-> IRLS. it was absolutely | wonderful! Marcella's J dress was a dream—white satin, a lace veil with orange blossoms and an exquisite shower bouquet, and guess what?** Rosalind paused, then added solemn ly: "I caught the bride's bouquet! You know what that means." "It doesn't mean anything." com mented Miss B!ake. the president’s secretary. "I caught one once. But if I ever do marry." she added thoughtfully. “I shan't have a big. elaborate ceremony I’d rather be married quietly without any fuss or feathers.” "Oh. applesauce!" cried little Gladys Murphy, the switchboard girl, “every girl wants to have a swell wedding with bridesmaids and Lohengrin and "Oh, Promise Me’ ’n’ everything!" “Well." said Rosalind complacent ly; "1 have decided that Gerald and I are going to have a church wed ding." "It is to be hoped.” Miss Blake remarked as she turned to her desk, “that your young man agrees with you. Miss Blake's insinuating comment stuck irritatingly in Rosalind’s mind as she began typing letters. She had a feeling that Gerald was not entirely in sympathy with her elab orate plans but she felt sure she could talk him over. She would bring up the subject again that eve ning and when be saw how her heart was set on it. he would not oppose her. But. surprisingly enough. Gerald did oppose her. "Rosalind, dear.” he said, bolding her hand in his and stroking it softly, “You know I've had to work hard for everything I’ve got I’ve felt happy because I've saved enough to furnish a home for us and something in the bank. If we were to have this big wedding it would cost a good deal. I can’t af ford it, darling, and,” be added so berly, “neither can your father.” “Oh, Gerald.” cried Rosalind, her blue eyes filling with tears, “you don't understand. All my girl friends have bad big weddings with writeups in the papers and won derful presents and I'd be ashamed if we just got married quietly.” She saw him frown slightly and added quickly: “Of course that's not the real reason, hooey. It’s because I want every one to see what a splen did man I've got." But Gerald did not soften to her flattery as she hoped and she went on pleadingly: “Don't worry about daddy. He always gives me what I want and the money comes some how.” Gerald thought of the pale, care worn man who was "Daddy,” and tried to steel his heart anew against Rosalind's blandishments. If he weakened now he might expect the same dull, money-grubbing future for himself. He was lost for a mo ment in deep thought, then turned to the waiting Rosalind and put his arm tenderly around her. “Dear est,” he said, “you know I love you and if you can’t be happy without this big wedding. I’ll have to see what I can do. We’ll have to post pone it, though, because I’ll have to save more money.” “Postpone our wedding, Gerald?” Rosalind faltered, her eyes widen ing in dismay. “Why, I’ve made all my plans for this fall. I’ve told Mr. Raine I was leaving the fifteenth and he’s engaged another stenog rapher in my place.” “Perhaps I can get some night work.” said Gerald. “I won't be able to spend as much time with you, but in that way I can save enough extra money by spring. I think I’ll go over and see Tom McArdle about it now.” Before Rosalind could realize it she was alone, rather puzzled and forlorn at the turn her affairs had taken. As she was kissing Gerald good-by, she had murmured some thing to the effect that they might live with her parents for a while. “Nothing doing, honey,” Gerald had answered. “When we’re maxried we’re going to live in our own home by ourselves.” Time lay rather heavy on Rosa lind's hands after that The only evening Gerald was able to spend with her was Sunday, and Sunday evenings seemed far apart She was delighted when Gerald phoned one Saturday afternoon saying he had to drive out to Hixton and asking if she would like to go along. “Isn’t it a gorgeous day, Gerald?” she bubbled happily, snuggling up to him in the roadster. “This was to have been our wed ding day. dear." said Gerald sober ly; “do you remember?” Did she remember? Could she forget? A sudden pain clutched her heart with a sense of tragic loss. But Gerald was talking now of some business deal and she listened ab sently, enjoying the heady autumn weather. Suddenly Gerald stopped '>efore a small, dingy house. “You are now in Hixton, Rosalind,” he announced, smiling. "The man I came to see lives here. Come, dear.” He knocked at the low door. An old man opened it and peered out “Oh, it’s you. Gerald, my boy,” he quavered. “Come in, the both of you.” A hound came up and sniffed casu ally at Rosalind's hand and the old mas disappeared moo a oac* room after a whispered conversation with Gerald. “What a queer old man. Gerald,’* whispered Rosalind. "He was an old friend of my fa ther's, dear.** returned Gerald "He's realty a food aort" The door opened and in marched the old man. attired to their aston ishment. m the full military ref aha of his lodge and carrying a fiute. Raising this to his Ups. he played in a brisk, whispering tone the wed ding march from Lobengnn. "What does this mean. Gerald?” demanded Rosalind trembling. "Dearest." he said drawing her to turn gently. Mr Jones is a jus tice of the peace and ! have our marriage licer.se in my pocket." Rosa Lad's mind was a chaos of amotions. Gerald was silent and she stole a glance at his face to meet a look so full of love ami longing that she could not refrain from giving assent At ber nod. die solemn, fan tastic old man bent his be plumed head and began to read the service. He had to stop once to hush the dog who had begun an excited bark ing at seeing a cat through the win dow. Then she was aware that Ger ald was slipping a gleaming circlet on her finger and presently they were out in the car again. Well, sweetheart?” asked Ger ald lifting her face to his. •Well. Gerald" she laughed soft ly, happily: “it wasn't a church cere mony, but. then, neither was it a quiet, borne wedding.” ANOTHER ROAD TO ROME Bt DITORD JENKE McClure Syndicate—WXC Service.* NNETS heart gave its queer little jump, just as it always did, when she beard Kent’s clear voice over the telephone. “Hello. Anne.” the voice came with a swift tender touch on her name. ‘There is danger ahead. I have just been tipped off by father's secretary that Dad is driving out to see you. You can guess why be is coming—to try to convince you that you should not marry his son. Don’t—” “Oh. Ken—" she cried in dismay. “Remember—you belong to me, and no one can take you from me. Let him argue; he will do it gently. But—and here’s the posit—don't pay any attention to what be says. Just as soon as I can get my car. I am coming hot on his traiL” She turned from the telephone with the gay '‘remember” chiming softly in her ears, but the next mo ment her thoughts were dark. She knew his father as did everybody in her suburban town as a great and successful city lawyer. She dreaded the thought of meet ing him and her thoughts were any thing but happy. In the midst of her troubled musing, the doorbell rang. When she opened the door, she faced a tall man whose bulk frightened her. She knew in a glance it was Kent’s father. He pondered a moment “Miss Elmer, I suppose you know my er rand. I wish there were some quiet way in which we could come to an understanding. You see, Kent is my only boy, and I have great hopes that he will marry the daughter of one of my old friends. I say this frankly because I feel you will see my position — such a marriage means happiness for a circle of us. In addition, his world is quite dif ferent than—than yours.” She smiled, although her heart was hurt "Just what do you mean?” He smiled in turn and *aid mildly: “Well, his is a world of wealth, and all it means.” "Mine, please, is a happy one even without wealth,” she said as mildly as he had spoken, "There are some worlds of wealth I do not care to enter—even—even with Kent; if yours is that kind, then you need have no fear. But as I know him, his is a world of friendliness, appre ciation of others, regard for men and women no matter whether they are wealthy or not Is yours differ ent than his?” He cleared his throat “You do not see my point. I—” He paused and half turned toward the door. “Mother is preparing dinner. You have a long drive back to the city. Won't you stay with us?” she said, eagerly, the thought in her mind that Kent might be along in time to res cue her. He started when he saw her moth er and seemed pleased when he found himself at the attractive din ing table. Anne was soon out of the conver sation, for her mother with her quick mind was a match for the lawyer. The minutes passed, and in the midst of them, the bell rang, and without ceremony, as was his way, Kent came in, his black eyes danc ing. “Why, hello, Dad, you here?” he exclaimed. The older man looked up. “Cer tainly, and let me tell you some thing, I suppose you think you are to have a share of this potato. You’re not I’m to have yours!” His gray eyes twinkled. “By the way, what is the idea of forcing me to come out here alone to get ac quainted with your bride-to-be*’” Anne gasped and looked at Kent He blinked. “Say—say that again, will you. father?” His father turned to Anne’s moth er. “You see, I was just saying this younger generation is a bit dumb!
