CRISP, COOL SUMMER SALADS
(Sec Recipes Below.)
AT HOME TO SUMMER
In a recent poll, 37 per cent of the
thousands of homemakers receiving
questionnaires expressed a desire to
be experts at salad making ... 43
per cent wanted to know how to
make food look glamorous.
This report gave me an idea.
Salads, besides being healthful
and givers of vim, vigor and vital
ity. offer a splen
did opportunity
for variety . . .
they can be used
as the appetizer
or ‘•starter”
course, the main xfc)
dish, a dessert,
or they may accompany the dinner
course.
So, besides giving you timely tips
on the art of salad making, I’m go
ing to explain literally dozens of
ways in which you creators of daily
menus can give ‘‘oomph’’ to your
tasty dishes.
• • •
The characteristics of a good salad
are simple and fairly easy to accom
plish; namely, it should be well
chilled before serving; have an at
tractive arrangement, and a pleas
ing color combination.
Salads in summer are as impor
tant as swimming or tennis or golf.
They give an opportunity to add
color and gaiety to the table.
Your choice of ingredients will de
pend upon what you have planned
for your main course and dessert,
provided your salad is to be a side
dish or an appetizer.
There are many varieties of fruit
salads. They are excellent by them
selves or as an accompaniment to a
main course of sea food or meat and
a pastry or cake dessert
Good to eat wonderful to look at
and substantial is this salad of or
ange slices and prunes, stuffed with
cottage cheese. (See picture at top
of column.)
'Orange Prune Cheese Salad.
On a bed of lettuce circle 10 to
12 orange slices. At the side ar
range 3 cooked prunes which have
been stuffed with cottage cheese.
With a sharp knife peel oranges, re
moving all outer skin and inner
membrane down to juicy meat. Cut
In thin, even slices. California or
anges, which are firm-meated and
practically seedless, are excellent to
use.
Serve with a sweet french dress
ing, made with lemon juice. With
a hot bread and beverage, this salad
makes a well-balanced home or
party luncheon.
Sweet French Dressing.
cup lemon juice
% cup salad oil
% cup red jelly or honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
Shake or blend well before serv
ing. Makes 1V4 cups. Lemon juice
gives this dressing just the flavor
needed to make the orange, prune
and cheese combination the perfect
salad.
• • •
Keeping cool during summer
months is a problem, solved most
successfully by eating properly.
LYNN SAYS:
Don’t be timed about putting
your own personality into your
salads. Here are some sugges
tions which may help you become
famous for your salads . . .
Try:
Fluting bananas by running the
prongs of a fork lengthwise down
a peeled banana, then slicing it
crosswise.
Adding chopped, broken or
whole walnut kernels to fruit,
vegetable and meat salads.
Using fruit juices to thin may
onnaise and to mix with french
dressing.
Adding a fruit gelatn, sliced or
cut into glistening cubes, to a
fruit salad.
Brightening the edges of lettuce
leaves by dipping them in pap
rika, or adding chopped parsley
to the edges of pineapple slices.
Adding a little lemon juice or
vinegar to sweet cream for sal
ad dressing—makes a quick sub
stitute for sour cream.

War games,
to condition
our new army of 1,400,000 men for
real combat now provide the ut
most in dramatic realism. There
are machines to simulate faithfully
the screaming of Stuka bombers;
there will be the roar of gunfire—
with blank cartridges, of course;
there will be parachute attacks, ma
chine gunning from airplanes, and
every possible device to keep the
boys from forgetting that “they’re
in the army now."
Gen. Lesley James McNair,
chief of staff of general head
quarters, a small, keen, alert
man who seems omnipresent in
the army ramps, is the Impre
sario in this the army’s biggest
and most serious venture in ap
plied theatricals. lie has bad
long experience in war games
and has convincingly portrayed
them as invaluable rehearsals
for the real thing, not only for
the instruction imparted but for
the unconscious, reflex condi
tioning of nerves and sensitivity
to the now heightened tumult of
war.
When the nucleus of a general
headquarters staff was formed July
25, 1940, General McNair was put
at the head of it. That subsequently
placed in his hands the intensified
and expanded war-training maneu
vers, far exceeding anything ever
before attempted, and last Septem
ber he took over the entire training
program of the rapidly increasing
army.
It Is regarded as an undertak
ing of the utmost importance
and President Reosevelt recent
ly promoted the army Belasco
from major general to the rank
of temporary lieutenant general.
His knowledge of war is by no
means confined to make-believe.
He fought with the field artil
lery in France and won the U. 8.
Distinguished Service medal and
the French Legion of Honor. He
is a native of Minnesota and was
graduated from West Point in
1904.

'T'HIS writer went to the wedding
of a young woman friend a few
weeks ago. The bridegroom was
a tall, loose-geared, bespectacled
Perchance Radio
Beam Led Inventor
To Comely Bride
young man
with an en
chanting grin
and a thick
thatch of
brownish hair. The bride told us
he was a scientist. We should have
known that he was Russell Varian,
the inventor, with his brother Sigurd
and several other associates, of the
Klystron radio generator which
American technicians say is better
than anything the British have in
their new plane-spotting system and
which has made blind-flying, in fog
or night, like a trip around the block
in a baby-carriage.
Russell Varian worked his way
through Stanford, odd-jobbing for the
professors. His brother Sigurd was
a flight captain with the Pan-Ameri
can Airways on Mexican’ and Cen
tral American routes. One day Rus
sell got a letter from Sigurd in
which Sigurd said he was tired of
ramming around in fog and night
and they ought to get together and
work out a radio beam which hom
ing planes could really follow. Rus
sell thought that was « good idea,
so Sigurd brought him his savings
of $4,000 and the boys set up a
workshop at Halcyon.
Their facilities just wouldn’t
do. Dr. David L. Webster, head
of the department of physics, at
Stanford, provided a laboratory,
gave them effective aid in every
possible way and made them
research associates of the uni
versity, but the university could
provide no funds. Sigurd's $4,000
dwindled to $47. The young men
were living sketchily when the
Klystron came through. A rep
resentative of the Bureau of Civ
il Aeronautics put them in touch
with the Sperry Gyroscope Co.
Sperry hurriedly plunked down
a check for $25,000 and built a
laboratory for Russell in Garden
City, Long Island.
Russell came to New York. His
radio beam had guided him straight
| to Miss Jane Martinson, a comely
research worker in biochemistry,
i niece of Miss Bessie Beatty of the
j current radio team of "Betty and
Bill.' It was a case of love at first
i sight on the part of both. Hence the
wedding, just a fortnight later, in
the East Nineteenth street residence
of Adolph Berle, now occupied by
Miss Beatty. Bride and bridegroom,
both tireless hikers, had their out
door togs ready for a long vaca
tion and honeymoon tramp through
New England.
NATIONAL
AFFAIRS <
fovitwtd by
CARTER FIELD
— j
WASHINGTON. — War makes
stranger bedfellows than politics,
and national defense “emergencies”
are so close to war that just a bit
of shooting turns one Into the other.
The prize exhibit of strange bed
fellow at the moment is the TVA.
otherwise the Tennessee Valley
authority and the Aluminum Com
pany of America. The TVA has
been almost the symbol of public
I ownership for some years now. The
Aluminum company has been the
favorite target of the New Dealers
since long before they came into
power with Roosevelt.
The Aluminum company has a
contract with TVA which calls for
30.000 kilowatts of firm power—that
is power which must be delivered
regardless of low water or other de
mand. There has been a devastat
ing drouth, from a water power
standpoint, in the Southeast for
months. Water is so low that there
is considerable uneasiness as to
what will be the situation at the
TVA dams in late August, Septem
ber and October.
BUT— the TVA has been furnish
ing the Aluminum company with
150.000 kilowatts right along, draw
ing down its reservoirs to do it, and
not making any fuss about the com
pany having no contract rights to
this additional power, nor insisting
that higher rates should be paid
for it!
SHIPPING DISTANCE VITAL
There are a number of angles to
the situation which is responsible
for this strange state of affairs.
Most important, of course, is the
desperate need by the government
for more aluminum for airplanes—
more aluminum than anyone thinks
can be produced, as a matter of fact
Another factor in this TVA-Alumi
num love feast is that most of the
bauxite, of which it takes three tons,
approximately, to make one ton of
aluminum, comes from Georgetown,
British Guiana. That is where the
shipping situation comes in. Uncle
Sam cannot spare ships to take
this bauxite through the Panama
canal and up the long hurl from
Panama to Portland, close to Bonne
ville where there is plenty of power.
When it is stated that it takes the
ordinary ship twice as long from
Panama to San Francisco as from
New York to Colon—leaving out
transiting the canal—the impact of
ship scarcity on this situation can
better be realized.
So the bauxite MUST be worked
into aluminum as close as possible
to the southeastern tip of the U. S.
Hence the Aluminum company,
which has splendid plants in the
TVA region, must be supplied with
every ton it can fabricate, and must
be given the power regardless of
previous conditions of economic war
fare.

Numerous Shortages
Arising in U. S.
With the possible exception of
wheat, there is not enough of any
thing, won't be enough next year,
and won't be enough in 1943. That
is the accepted doctrine of those who
are really running national defense.
It is the explanation of a lot of
things which are puzzling business
men all over the country.
The philosophy is that what we
will need is not something to be
charted out on a schedule of appro
priations to be made by congress.
The thing to do under this philoso
phy is to find out the most of
EVERYTHING that can be pro
duced—everything that is under the
national defense category, which is
surprisingly near everything that
can be imagined—and then plan ap
propriations for those maximum
capacities.
The whole picture is easier to il
lustrate in terms of electric power
than anything else, that being one
of the things which cannot be pro
duced quickly. So the order of the
day is that every possible source of
electric power be tapped, whether it
will result in power one year from
now, or five years from now.
In keeping with this policy the
Federal Power commission has even
taken what some of the radicals re
gard as a backward step in the
march to eventual public ownership
of the electric business. This is the
granting of licenses for the construc
tion of the Cresta and Pulga dams on
Feather river, in California.
The only concession to the public
power bloc was that the licenses
were granted for 35 years only, in
stead of the usual 50. Which means
recapture of the dams 35 years
hence if the government then is so
! disposed, and very tight regulation
meanwhile.
But the point is that if a sugges
tion is made that power can be de
veloped at X and Y cross roads,
the objection being that there is no
probability that the power can be
used economically in that vicinity,
the administration says: "Go ahead.
We will provide the industry to use
that power when it is ready.”
