Jlytut CUambe'U GOOD TIDINGS FOR THE EASTER BREAKFAST (See Recipes Below) EGG8TRAORDINARY! With the passing of winter and the arrival of spring comes the joyful Easter season, bringing with it new life and new hope . . . Why not ex press these good tidings in the traditional Easter Sunday break fast? Make your Easter breakfast the No. 1 breakfast of the year—the time when the whole family, and guests, too, perhaps, gather leisurely ’round a gaily decorated table laden with their favorite early - morn dishes. Let color-splashed eggs be the centerpiece. You can use those that the children have "discovered” in their traditional pre-breakfast egg hunt Pile them high in the center of a grass - filled Easter basket. Then, to complete the scheme, mark each person’s place at the table with an egg cari cature—Uncle Sam, an Indian Chief, Mr. Rabbit or even a pert young lady. “While they’re still "oh-ing” and "ah-ing," serve "eggs in nests”— Just to keep the theme in mind. To complete your menu, you’ll of course want glasses of cold fruit Juice, crisp ham slices or bacon curls and steaming popovers. It’s taken for granted that you’ll make plenty of hot coffee. They couldn’t ask for morel *Eggs in Neste. (See picture at top of column) 1 egg Vi teaspoon salt Butter 5 bread sticks Separate egg, placing white in small, deep bowl and retaining yolk In one of the half shells. Beat egg white until stiff and slightly dry (when dry, it will have a slightly coarse appearance). Pile egg white in oven-proof cup or dish in which 5 bread sticks have been arranged. Drop yolk into depression made in center of egg white. Bake in a mod erately slow oven (325 degrees F.) until bread tips and egg white are delicately browned (about 15 min utes). Season with salt, pepper if desired, and a lump of butter dropped on yolk. Serves 1. Just in case you’re wondering how the bread sticks are made, here are directions. Because of their dainty arrangement in the serving dishes, I call them Bread Buttercups; Remove the crusts from a loaf of uncut bread. Cut lengthwise slices from the loaf. Trim the slices so that they are about 1V4 inches wide and the ends pointed. Brush with an egg and milk mixture and ar range in baking cups. It is best to brush the tips with a little melted butter so that they will brown more readily. •Pop-Overs. 2 eggs, beaten % cup milk 1 cup flour V« teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon melted fat Combine eggs and milk.

They are among our best sources of the muscle building proteins. They are high in iron which is needed to build good red blood. They supply phos phorus which forms a part of ev ery active cell of the body. When “peeling” hard-cooked eggs, crackle the shells, then start the peeling at the rounded end of the egg. Holding the eggs under running cold water or dip ping in a l>owl of cold water helps to ease the shell off, leav ing a smooth, unbroken surface of white.

Yield: 10 large Pop-Overs. • • • And now a word about the clever ly decorated Easter eggs that ap pear in the basket above. You’ll agree that even the most aristocratic rabbit should be proud to claim these origi nal eggs. Deco rating them is both easy and in expensive. You’ll need large white eggs, a package of dyes from the Five and Ten, a spoon - shaped wire hook with an end to use as a handle (for dipping eggs into the dye), rubber cement and stickers. Buy gold and silver stars, dots in various colors, small red hearts, lin en reinforcements that are really meant for loose-leaf notebooks, flow er seals such as tulips, and red and blue legal seals. Most of these come in several sizes, but the small ones are the easiest to glue on a curved surface. After the well-known hard boiling process you use your imagination about covering the eggs with stars and dots. Then try arranging hearts In four-leaf clover patterns, or turn the points outward and stick them around a center dot, as flower pet als, All-over designs of blue legal seaU and stripes of the red ones, pasted so closely that they overlap a bit, are quite effective. There are endless arrangements, and you have the advantage of being able to soak off and replace designs until you are pleased, without wasting an egg. • * • What to do with the Easter supply of hard-cooked eggs?

NEW YORK.—Our old friend Ben Lucien Burman, the author who became the leading impresario of rivers, is off by clipper to take a K.-cer Impresario £*£ ™ Had Nickel Placed erts, for a On Career, Won ^"‘faudieTt writing assignment. One of his most exciting traveling adventures was promoting five cents for the subway ride which started his writing ca reer. Mr. Burman will be with Gen eral Wavell’s army and with the De Gaulle forces, accredited by a mag azine and a syndicate. Mr. Burman’a first river book, "Steamboat Round the Bend," became the last film In which Will Rogers appeared. After that he did a stretch at Holly wood, and then got under way with some more river books and magatlne stories, riding not only rivers, incidentally, but camels, in this same desert country to ward which he is heading now. On this trip, Mrs. Burman, who is Alice Caddy, the artist who illus trates his books, is going with him, to supply a black-and-white obligato for his stories. Mrs. Burman scores heavily in both his traveling and arriving, as disclosed by the story Mr. Burman once told me. "I quit my job as a reporter on the Morning World to write stories. I wrote plenty of them and they kept on making extraordinarily quick round trips to the publishers. One day I was fondling and caressing my last dime when I passed a baker’s shop, with some freshly baked buns in the window. I am instinctively a plunger. The dime went for four buns. "After the banquet, I sang The Star Spangled Banner’ and went home, pondering various plans for making a fresh start in life. There was a letter from the Pictorial Review, saying they liked my story, ‘Minstrels of the Mist,’ and would print it. "My dime was gone, and while the buns had bucked me up a bit, I was too weak to walk to the maga zine office. There lust wasn’t that much mileage in four buns. Then I thought of a pretty girl I had seen going in and out of her near-by Greenwich Village studio. I called on her, told her my story and sug gested that she invest a nickel In my gilt-edged career. "She said It looked like a good bet, but she, too, was short on liquid assets—but she had six cents In stamps which she would be glad to risk. I converted the stamps into a flve-cent piece at a stationery store, and bought a subway ride. The magazine people gave me a check for $600." Of course he went right back and married the girl. Mr. Burman was badly wounded in the World war and walked with a cane and crutches for several years afterward. He returned to Harvard, and was graduated in 1920.

This isn't his specialty, but he is one of Britain’s heavy-duty thinkers. When he delivered the Jona than Peterson lecture in New York, five years ago, he stirred some sharp criticism in the American press on the ground that be was assuming too much about our fraternal co-operation with Britain. He urged this coun try to join other nations in fend ing off war and Insisted that we could do this without dan gerous entanglements or com mitments. Our intellectual elite of banking, finance, foreign pol icy and economics heard and ap plauded, but were not so per turbed as the somewhat gloomy Sir Arthur. Sir Arthur is a shrewd, wary, grim little man. He is short, muscular, vigorous and alert, and endowed with a skeptical mind which has en abled him to score heavily as a prophet. However, he is of the in tuitive or "hunching"’ school of statesmanship. When he feels in spiration stirring, he goes swimming and floats on his back, looking up into the sky—preferably in the sun shine. This seems to have the ef fect of disjointing rigid cause-aid effect sequences and enhancing his “extrasensory perception.” the gift of all good "hunch” men. H istorical If Ctmo Scott lilatiOH. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Founding of the G. A. R. SEVENTY-FIVE years ago the city of Decatur, 111., became the birthplace of an organization which for nearly a half century was to play an Important part In the political history of the United States. That was the Grand Army of the Repub lic, composed of veterans of the Union army in the Civil war. Founder of the G. A. R. was Dr. Benjamin Franklin Stephenson, who had enlisted in tne Fourteenth Illinois infantry in 1862 and served in it through to the end of the Civil war. Stephen son’s tent-mate and bosom companion was the chaplain of the regiment. Rev. W. J. Rutledge. Dur ing General Sher man’s expedi tion against Meridian, Miss., in Febru ary, 1864, Rutledge suggested to Ste phenson that men who had been so closely bound together by the hard ships of war would, when mustered out of service, naturally want to form some sort of association to keep alive their friendships. After the war ended the two men corresponded with each other fre quently and In March, 1866, they met by appointment in Springfield, 111. There they spent considerable time working on a ritual for the or ganization which they named the “Grand Army of the Republic.” Finally they had their plans for the G. A. R. completed. When they were ready to have the ritual print ed, Gov. “Dick” Oglesby, another veteran whom they consulted, sug gested that, in order to secure se crecy, it be set up and printed in the office of the Decatur Tribune, since the owners of that paper, I. W. Coltrin and Joseph Prior, and all DB. BENJAMIN F. STEPHENSON of their printers and pressmen were Union army veterans. Accordingly, Capt. John S. Phelps went to De catur and sought the co-operation of his old comrades on the Tribune. Meanwhile Dr. J. W. Routh of De catur, a friend of Stephenson’s, went to Decatur to make some inquiries about his work and interested Capt. M. F. Kanan in the idea. Next they called upon Dr. Stephenson and urged him to found a Grand Army post in Decatur without delay. He promised to do so if they could se cure a certain number of signatures to a petition for a charter. They had no difficulty in doing this and hurried to the Illinois capital to be the first to present their application for a charter. The result was that Dr. Stephenson, assisted by Captain Phelps, on April 6, 1806, organized Decatur Post No. 1 of the Grand Army of the Republic. Immediately other posts were founded throughout the state, main ly through the evangelical zeal of Dr. Stephenson who was neglecting his practice as a physician to build up die G. A. R. So it was a great disappointment to him when his comrades in the new socifety. meet ing in Springfield a little later to or ganize the Illinois department of the G. A. R., passed him by and selected another man as departmental com mander. During the next few months the G. A. R. grew into a national or ganization and plans were being made for a national ‘ encampment” at Indianapolis in November. Its founder felt reasonably certain that he would be chosen the first national commander but again he was dis appointed. For that honor went to a fellow-veteran from Illinois, A. S. Hurlbut, although Stephenson was made adjutant-general. The second national commander of j the G. A. R. was Gen. John A. Lo gan, the "Black Jack” of Union army fame. It was General Lo gan who issued the famous Gen eral Order No. 11 on May 5, 1868, which resulted in the establishment of a national Me morial day for decorating the graves ol the Civil war’s honored dead. p/j tpfp/vs SEWING CIRCLEjC 8888 A DRESS that’s complete in it self and smart for general wear.

If earliness is the principal in terest, the gardener should select either Bountiful (green-podded) or Golden Wax (yellow). Bountiful is excellent for use when small, in shoe-string size. It is also a good choice for home canning, for it produces abundantly. The gardener interested in yield over a long season should select both a bush bean, and a pole bean. The pole beans begin producing when the yield from the bush beans tapers off. Kentucky Wonder is one of the best all-purpose pole beans. It provides good quality snap beans. When past the snap stage, the pods may be cut up, and cooked southern style. Later, this bean may be used in the green shell stage. In the more mature stage the beans may be used in baking or in soup. the crisp frill and buttons that trim the frock, with a charmingly soft, somewhat formal effect.
