Then you’ll want a cool, gracious drink with tinkling ice to lift your wilted spirits. Indeed the favorite pickup for a sultry day is nothing more than a simple drink of fruit juices, tea, or frosty milk with shimmering ice. The tartness of the fruit juices in these drinks will refresh and cool you, soothe your disposition long after you've sipped them. Besides they’ll give vitamins and minerals to pep you up even more. For a really quick cooling drink you might try some of the prepared fruit juice powders on the market. They can be mixed in a flash and give a very satisfying beverage. The children will like working with them, too, and won’t muss the kitch en if they have this type of easy preparation to use. Summer drinks can be especially attractive when served with those fragrant sprigs of mint you have growing on the side of the house, strawberries from the patch, or long, length I wise slices of lemon to bring out me delicate flavor or tea. Ice cubea with cherries, red berries, mint leaves, orange or lemon slices, or fruit juices all frozen in the cubes will make your thirst quenchers a Joy to look at •Iced Tea. Tea must be made double strength when used with ice, so use 2 tea spoons for each cup of water. Meas ure 1 cup of freshly drawn water, bring to a boil. Pour over leaves, let steep 5 minutes, then strain into a pitcher. Cool, pour into glasses filled with ice, two-thirds full. Serve with slices of lemon. You can do such delightful things with this combination of tea, or anges and mint, so here's a recipe which you might like to try. It’s a company favorite! Orange Mint Julep. (Serves 10) 6 glasses of strong tea 2 cups sugar cup water 1 orange rind grated Juice of six oranges Sprays of mint Boil the sugar and water and grat ed orange rind for 5 minutes. Re move from fire, add crushed mint leaves and let cool. To the strained tea add orange juice, and pour into glasses which are half-filled with crushed ice, and sweeten to taste with the strained mint syrup. You’ll like this garnished with mint sprays and floating orange slices. For a really exhilarating drink that has nutritive value so vital to lift lagging spirits, here's eggs and milk combined with fruit and juices. It’s so-o-o good and loks like a charm. LYNN SAYS: A snowy frost on the glass in which you serve your cooling summer drinks is very attrac tive and simple to make. All you do is dip the top of the glass before it is filled into slightly beaten egg white and then into granulated sugar. Allow to dry thoroughly before using. If you'd like a true frost for the glass try a drink which is guaranteed to have one. Such are the old-fashioned “granits” which may be of any flavor you desire. The granit is a half frozen drink which is put in the refrigerator or freezer until a light snow-frost appears, but leaves the drink still liquid enough to pour. For a strawberry granit, mash a quart of berries and cover with 1 Vi pounds of sugar, then set aside for several hours to let a syrup form. Drain and press through a sieve. Add 1 table spoon of strawberry extract, then mix with 1 pint of water. Freeze until the top is snow-frosted and serve in long, thin glasses. p--,1 THIS WEEK'S MENU Fruit Cup Noodle Ring with Fried Chicken Cream Gravy Hot Biscuits Fresh Asparagus with Browned Butter and Crumb Sauce Tossed Fresh Vegetable Salad French Dressing •Iced Tea Red Raspberry Fluff •Recipe given.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) ; rEW YORK.—A few years ago, Anita Loos’ maid used to de liver to her every day a dash ol gopher dust from Harlem. We haven’t Strung Manuscript heard wheth Across Continent; er this still Her Net, $600,000 *°*3 on’ but; ' the cnarm seems to be still working. All goes well as "Blossoms in the Dust” gets warm, almost fulsome from the crit- j ics. Miss Loos did the screen1 play for Ralph Wheelwright’s story. It taps deep founts of tears and ranges far from Miss Loos’ “Gen tlemen Prefer Blondes," and its Lorelei Lee, the alluring and un abashed golddigger of 1925. It’s one of those "where are they now?” stories, with Miss Loos sitting pretty, literally and figuratively, as a deft, swift, workmanlike story adapter, scenarist and remodeler in Hollywood—one of the best. The pint-sise girl with bangs— weight 87 pounds, height four feet, eleven inches—was riding on the train from California to New York in 1925, considerably bored. She started writing up this golddigger Lorelei, with a soft-slut) pencil, in big, round letters. The manuscript strung along clear through Kansas and Indiana and on to New York, and was almost as big as Miss Loos, what with those big rope trick letters, when she landed here. It brought her something over! $600,000. It was translated into vir tually every language except Es kimo and pigeon-talk, and in Eng land its sales passed those of any other American book. She later wrote “But Gentlemen Marry Bru nettes." Her talent for humor may have been inherited from her father, a country newspaper publisher and humorist of the Bill Nye school, of Sissons, Calif., where Miss Loos was born. She was a shy, quaint little thing, hanging around the newspaper shop, helping polish up a gag or feed the flatbed. When she was 14, she sent a story to the New York Morning Telegraph. They printed it. A year later David Griffith sent for a girl who had sent a scenario which had set his assistants to whooping Joyously. "What can I do for you, my child?” he asked when the tiny girl with bangs and pigtails came in. The Loos girl showed him her sum mons to Hollywood. There she was and is. In the years between she had become a pretty good actress, appearing in San Francisco and oth er California cities. JUST a year ago, Roger L.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS Reviewed by CARTER FIELD U. S. action to counter Jap attack on Siberia will depend on Tokyo moves ... W hat is cost of Hitler drive on Russia? (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.* WASHINGTON. —Will the U. S. de fend Siberia as it has defended the Dutch East Indies against Japan? That is one of the outstanding questions in Washington, and the an swer will probably not come until Japan shows its hand. Japan was all set to take the Dutch East In dies, and perhaps French Indo-Chl na, after the fall of the Low Coun tries. But Uncle Sam speaking through Cordell Hull, U. S. secre tary of state, surprised the world by what seemed to be an ultima tum. The words of Mr. Hull did not state definitely that the U. S. would declare war on Japan if Ja pan attacked the Dutch East Indies, but they SEEMED to say just that. Beyond doubt they were so inter preted in Japan. Incidentally, the best military opinion is that Japan “missed the boat.” If she had moved swiftly, ig noring the words of Cordell Hull, it is entirely possible that she could have gobbled up those priceless is lands which belonged to Holland, and that the United States would have done nothing more than we did when Mussolini was conquering the Lion of Judah. There was not the slightest indication that American public opinion would have supported the administration in a war against Japan, and there is very grave doubt whether—at that time—President Roosevelt would have unleashed the navy to attack Nippon. Defense Preparations. Moreover, except for the navy, nothing was ready. That was be fore this government rushed a lot of long range bombers to Manila. It was before another lot of long range bombers made in the U. S. was rushed to Singapore, threatening by their mere presence the bombing of Japan's oil reserves—which are ex tremely vulnerable—if war should break out. Japan knew how vulnerable her oil reserves were. Despite the lack of bombers at the time in Singapore and Manila she decided to wait a more favorable moment. An impor tant element in her calculations was conviction that Germany could not be stopped, and Hhat Britain would be weaker before she was stronger. Moreover that was before Japan and Russia had concluded their non aggression pact. Not that this pact means any thing—from the coldblooded view point of the military experts. Trea ties and solemn promises are at an even lower ebb than in the famous “scraps of paper” era of the first World war. Japan will do, the ex perts believe, whatever is in her own interest at the moment. Time Ripe for Attack? Which means of course that she might now attack Siberia, while the Soviet is in a death grip with the Nazis. This brings us back to the point of whether we would take the same strong stand against such ag gression in the Far East with re spect to Siberia which we took in respect to the Dutch East Indies. There is not the same degree of feeling. This country has always been very friendly with Holland, and our navy in particular has been certain ever since World War No. 1 that we would eventually have to fight Japan. In the case of Russia versus Japan this country was sym pathetic with Japan, but that pic ture has long since gone out of focus. The country has turned anti-Japa nese to an amazing extent since Japan’s unprovoked war of aggres sion against China. • • • Hitler’s Big Question: What Price Russia? There is an old pipe maker in Chi cago who runs to dreams and vi sions. In the summer of 1940 he predicted that Hitler would invade Russia in 1941, would take all of European Russia, but that it would cost him a million men. He also predicted that eventually Germany would lose the war but that it would all be pretty terrible before peace comes. There have been those not given to visions, who dealt entirely with the logic of the situation, who be lieved that Hitler would find some excuse to attack Russia. The Brit ish have inclined to that view for a long time, but were unable to con vince Stalin of the danger. They thought and urged at the time of Hitler’s invasion of the Balkans that the whole picture was clearcut, and if Russia had leaped in then, with all the Balkans fighting with her against Hitler, the story might be different. Now tlie question is how much the Russian campaign is going to cost Hitler Whether it will yield enough in food, oil and supplies, not to mention slaves—for there is what the people of the conquered coun tries virtually become—to pay for the loss of men and the expendi ture of war supplies in tlie fighting.
