. . . AND SO THEY ARE MARRIED (See Recipes Below.) AFTER THE 'I DO’S’ Intermittent glances at the third finger of your left hand, as you leave the church and hurry home ward to greet guests, remind you that you’re a "Mrs.” now . . . and you’ve never been so happyl You’re too thrilled and excited to •ven think about food, but friends and relatives and your new hus band, especially, are more than likely eager to partake of the very distinctive refreshments that "Mom” has spent weeks planning. And later when you recall the wedding reception, if details have been worked out sanely and care fully beforehand, you'll know that yours was an extra special after wedding party. Dainty rolled asparagus sand wiches and a luscious peach short cake, with an Iced or hot beverage, are sure to satisfy gay young appe tites, as well as appeal to the elders’ taste for "something different." Deck the table with fresh flowers. A fitting centerpiece is a replica of the bride’s bouquet , . . one exactly like that which she carried to the altar. A sophisticated crepe paper bridal couple will complete the ta ble decorations. Asparagus Rolled Sandwiches. Remove crusts from a loaf of sandwich bread and cut in one-fourth Inch lengthwise slices. Butter slices and cut in half. In each piece, place a stalk of asparagus. Roll bread carefully, pressing well along but tered edge to hold it securely. Sprin kle asparagus with a little salt and paprika before rolling bread, if de sired. The number of sandwich loaves and the amount of asparagus tips you will need will, of course, de pend upon the length of your guest list. Peach Shortcake. 8 cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon salt 8 teaspoons double-acting baking powder % cup butter or other shortening % cup milk 1% quarts sliced peaches, sweetened Sift flour once, measure, add bak ing powder and salt, and sift again. Cut in shortening; add milk all at once and stir carefully until all flour is dampened. Then stir vigorously until mixture forms a soft dough and follows spoon around bowl. Turn out immediately on slightly floured board and knead 30 seconds. Roll one-fourth inch thick. Place half in ungreased round cake pan; brush with melted butter. Place remain ing half on top and butter top well. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees F.) 15 to 20 minutes. Separate, spread bottom half with soft butter and some of peaches. Place other half on top. Spread with butter and re maining peaches; garnish with whipped cream. Cut into individual servings. Serves 8. Other fresh fruits may be substituted for peaches. • • • There is an old tradition that the luckiest sort of bride’s cake is one baked in a ring—symbolic, like the gold band that is slipped on her LYNN SAYS: In regard to after-wedding par ties, plan a menu that’s simple and easy to serve, yet appetizing and delicious to eat. Since the proverbial color scheme for the bride's table is green and white, plan to use white flowers for the centerpiece; if candles are used, they may be white or green. It is customary for the bride to throw her bouquet to her at tendants prior to her departure on the wedding trip. Since the excitement and emo tional strain will undoubtedly up set the bride, she’ll not be able to thoroughly enjoy her own re ception. For that reason, a piece of the cake should be cut and wrapped for the couple to take with them on their honeymoon. The table decorations should be saved for her to have on her re turn. NOW YOU'RE A WIFE . . . And the business of cook ing for two begins! Feeding your husband will be an important part of your new life—really es sential to the smooth sailing of the ship of matrimony. So next week Lynn will devote her entire column to recipes that will help you ‘‘hoi dyour man.” They’ll be simple enough for the begin ner, too. finger for the first time at her wed ding, of the endless quality of true love. This cake is cut by the bride and served to the guests as part of the wedding feast, and is quite dif ferent from the rich fruit cake that is given to the guests to carry away. It is a light cake, like a white cake or sponge cake, and Is frosted with all the curlicues and rosettes that the home cook can manage. This cake brings luck to the guests, for it contains a ring, a coin and a key — signifying marriage, wealth and happiness to those who find them. If you haven't a ring shaped pan, you can bake the cake in an angel-food cake pan or in an ordinary cake pan, with the ring out lined in contrasting frosting. The bride's and bridegroom's initials in contrasting frosting may be used for further decoration. Bride’s Cake. 1 cup sifted cake flour V« teaspoon salt 1 cup (8 to 10) egg whites 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1V« cups sifted granulated sugar V* teaspoon vanilla V« teaspoon almond extract Sift flour once, measure and sift four more times. Beat egg whites and salt with flat wire whisk. When foamy add cream of tartar and con tinue beating un til eggs are stiff enough to hold up I in peaks, but not dry. Fold In sug ar carefully, 2 ta blespoons at a time, until all is used. Fold in flavoring. Then sift small amount of flour over mixture and fold in carefully; continue until all is used. Pour batter into ungreased angel-food cake pan or ring-shaped pan and bake in a slow oven. Begin at 275 degrees F. After 30 minutes increase heat slightly (325 degrees); bake 30 minutes more. Remove from oven; invert pan 1 hour. Marshmallow Frosting. % cup sweetened condensed milk 4 marshmallows 1\4 cups sifted confectioners’ (4X) sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Cook sweetened condensed milk and quartered marshmallows in top of double boiler until marshmal lows are melted. Remove from fire, add confectioners’ sugar gradually, beating until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla. May be spread on cake while warm. This frosting covers tops of two 9-inch layers or top and ■ides of ring-shaped cake or about 18 cup cakep. Butter Frosting. % cup sweetened condensed milk 4 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 3% cups sifted confections’ (4x) sugar (about) Cream sweetened condensed milk and butter together. Add vanilla, blending well. Add sifted confec tioners’ sugar gradually, beating un til smooth and light in color. This frosting may be tinted any color b> addition of a speck of food coloring. Pale tints are most attractive. Spread on cold cake. Makes enough frosting to cover tops of two 9-k*ch layers or top and sides of ring shaped cake, or about 24 cup cakes. Make the letters of corresponding oi contrasting frosting by means of a pastry tube. m m m If you plan a wedding breakfast, instead of an afternoon or evening reception, include something hot and something cold for the main course, a beverage, ice and wedding cake, of course.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK.—Frequently cited is the vast difference between the World war bi-plane and the flying fortress of today, and frequent Col. Old., •Ferry- ,£ Chief, Master of ministrative personnel of Flying Fortress ^ alr serv_ Ice has kept up with this technical advance. Is a good administrator also an up-to-date flier? Col. Robert Olds, newly in charge of the air corps “ferry command,” to start bombers on the way to Brit ain, is picked by informed onlook ers as a shining example of the for ward moving officer. He learned to fly during the World war, but he knows the big bomber of today the way Fritz Kreisler knows his Addle. It was only two years ago that the colonel brought a flying for tress across the country in 10 hours and 45 minutes, then a record flight for a military plane. In between wars, he has been busy every minute and has come all the way through with changing flying techniques and skills. He frequently has been mentioned as of the type of men who should command a separate air service. A friend of Colonel Olds described him to me today as a Hollywood ideal of a flying officer, minus the exaggerated showmanship and swank of the screen air-devils—trim, natty, alert, clear-headed, courteous and personable. He seems to have stirred up more enthusiasm among his friends than anybody this de partment has back-trailed for a long time. One of Colonel Olds’ most dis tinguished air exploits was when he led six flying fortresses on a round trip to Argentina, in Feb ruary, 1937, for which he re ceived the Distinguished Serv ice cross. His is the highly spe cialised skill of mastery over the newest and biggest bomber, no matter how many cannon or how many extra push-buttons on the dash-board. He Is a native of Norfolk, Va., but Joined the air reserve from Woodside, Md., tn 1917. WE ONCE saw two sports writ ers looking through the paper. Another sports writer had char acterized a famous athlete as “a A Sports Writer ^ded Never Forgets stumblebum ti . * a t a who °«ght t0 How to Get Tough be arrested for getting money under false pre tenses.” One of the sports writers read this passage and remarked reverently, “That guy is certainly a powerful writer!” Not having to mind libel laws, or pull their punch on the type writer, sports writers frequently become the most released and uninhibited of catch-as-catch-can literatteurs. In other words they never forget how to get tough. It is one of them who, as their craft would have it, has put the slug on the Bund, in New Jer sey. He is Atty.-Gen. David T. Wilentz, prosecutor of Bruno Hauptmann, who broke from the post as a sports writer for news papers in Plainfield and his na tive Perth Amboy, N. J. Wilentz drafted a bill to put the Bund out of business in his state and it has been passed unanimous ly by the state legislature. This first overt state move against the Bund is attracting national atten tion, as the high concentration of de fense industries there might make the region an Achilles heel for sub version or sabotage. The attorney-general doesn't look tough. He is slight in stature, ultra fastidious in dress, has slick black hair and ingratiating manners. He is a master politico, with a tar bucket memory for such small mat ters as a constituent's lumbago of 10 years back, and he is also the Flo Zicgfeld of courtroom showmen. His histrionics in the Haupt mann trial caused some com ment, but the news men gave him an “out." They said he hadn't circused up the proceed ings any more than was neces sary to win his case. He knocked off newspapering to work his way through the New York Law school. #X'HE rising prestige of Carlos Sa avedra Lamas in the Argentine is good news for this country. Re cent dispatches reveal Sr. Lamas definitely on record as favoring clos er political and commercial co-op eration of Argentina with the United States. | In 1937. as foreign minister, he i made a forthright stand for Argen tine support of the Monroe doctrine. He is the author of the Pan-Ameri can anti-war pact and the builder of the ABC entente between Argen tina. Brazil and Chile. NATIONAL I AFFAIRS Reviewed by CARTER FIELD Pacific fleet units re ported moving to Atlan tic to join sea patrols... Expect end of auto pro duction for ‘duration * (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) WASHINGTON.—The rumors con cerning U. S. fighting ships coming through the Panama canal to do their part—scouting and patroling— in the Battle of the Atlantic are true. No official information is avail able, and details could not be print ed if known, under the voluntary censorship rulings. But it is not giving Germany any Information to say that a large number of vessels of the U. S. navy which have been in the Pacific are now in the Atlantic, and there is no blinking the fact that Berlin knows why they moved. In fact Berlin probably knows just what ships have been so moved, for there is not a naval officer who does not believe that word is gotten to Germany about every ship, naval or merchant, which passes through the canal, with as much further information as to its destination, etc., as can be obtained by Nazi observers in the Canal Zone. The really interesting part of the whole business, from a naval stand point, is that this withdrawal of a number of ships from the Pacific means that the administration is no longer worried about the Far East ern situation. Conviction is growing here that Japan will make no move against Singapore or the Dutch East Indies in the near future. Japan has known for some time that there would be plenty of shoot ing right away if she made such a move. She has known also that the augmented force of big bomb ers at Manila and Singapore—where the British have been receiving American made bombers for months despite the urgent need for them in Britain and Alexandria—boded no good for her if hostilities should begin. VULNERABLE OIL RESERVE The importance of this particular threat is that the locations of all the Japanese military oil reserves are well known to both the British and American naval forces, and that it would be a simple matter to de stroy them, thus immobilizing the Japanese fleet. Ever since the earthquake of 1922 Japan has not dared to store her naval oil reserves underground. She lost virtually all her oil at that time when the earthquake opened up the underground storage vaults, and she has been afraid to risk it since. Hence her oil reserves are particu larly vulnerable to air attack. Japan has plenty of fighting and bombing planes, but in this war it has been shown that while air pow er is tremendously important In at tack, it is almost impossible to pre vent bombing by the enemy no mat ter how inferior his air strength. Thus the British have been able to bomb German cities and the French, Belgian, Dutch and German ports almost at will, despite the fact that the Nazi air force has been tre mendously superior. Had Japan moved into the Dutch East Indies immediately after the invasion by Germany of the low countries, the resistance there would have been pitiful. Now it is a dif ferent story. The Dutch have moved heaven and earth to provide a de fense, so that it would be a real battle. That might not deter the Japanese, but the U. S. and British threat behind it are now believed to be conclusive. So Japan will wait, hoping that, with German victory, her path to plunder in the Far East will no longer be blocked. • * • Auto Production find Curtailment* Pessimists in the automobile in dustry predict that another six months will see the end of produc tion of passenger cars in this coun try for the “duration.” Incidentally representatives of the industry in Washington are particularly bitter about the proposed restrictions on the manufacture of trucks. They are perfectly willing to accept a to tal blackout so far as passenger ve hicles are concerned, as a national defense necessity, but they insist that the biggest problem confront ing the country, and from a na tional defense standpoint only, is go ing to be transportation. Hence, they contend, trucks will prove to be of extreme importance. Truck production may be limited for a while, but when the national preparedness drive really gets hot there will be clamor from the gov ernment for increased truck produc tion. In World War No. 1 transporta tion soon became one of the major problems. The government eventu ally took over the railroads and op erated them all from Washington. In those days the highways were pretty poor compared with now, and the heavy movement over them, coupled with a terrific winter in 1917-1918, left them anything but a motorist’s paradise.
