WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK —From time to time there has been talk in Washing ton of a new department of eco nomic warfare. Such speculation has centered Maxwell Warming in the Office Up for Nazi Put- ot Export Out tn S. Amenca headed by Brig. Gen. Russell L. Maxwell. Maehiavrlli said the wise prince would deploy credit and raw materials with care and cunning equal to that employed In military strategy. The open and overt economic war hasn’t been declared, but when and If it is General Maxwell will have gleaned much experience In the strategic utilisation of both cred it and war materials. Currently, a new committee is be ing established to work with General Maxwell's "service unit" to cut down red tape and deal South Amer ica needed goods, to fend off Nazi penetration. General Maxwell, it is understood, will be responsible for pegging the goods quickly to the South American first base, to score a Nazi put-out He is a veteran of the ord nance department of the army, known as a genial all-around co operator, but credited with a sa gacious realization of just what this country can’t spare. A na tive of Illinois, now 51. solidly built, of deliberate and thought ful mien, the general takes a long view of war and peace and insists that in outfitting every body on our side we mustn't lose track of post-war exigen cies and that we must avoid wrecking foreign trade. After his graduation from Wes Point, General Maxwell became a<, artillery lieutenant in 1912 and there after his career had to do mostly with ordnance. He was assistant to the executive secretary in the of fice of the secretary of war in 1938, later chief of the planning, equip ment and supply division of the army. He became administrator of export control last year and on Jan uary 1 of this year was promoted to the temporary rank of brigadier general. SEVERaL months ago, we talked to a perky little English woman, a veteran of the militant suffrage days, who was indignant because f J t* J m J **** wouId Ladybird Clad at not let the Britith ‘Atta-Girlt’ British vol Given Full Win*. “”*f" **' women fly Spitfires and Hurricanes. We thought she might go home and put glue in the post boxes, or some thing like that, in protest. She did go home and probably is happy today to learn that the wom en, the “Atta-Girls," as they call these ladybirds, can now fly the above planes. Tnere are about 45 of the women pilots, with hundreds of others crowding in for ground service and training, flying fighting planes from the factory to front line defense air stations and performing innumerable other services. Capt. Pauline Gowan la one of the foremost of this air trans port auxiliary, as It is called. She is a comely young woman in her early thirties, one of the de signers and most successful modelers of the snappy, powder blue uniform of their unique fly ing corps. The daughter of Sir Robert Gowan, member of par liament since 1929, she broke conventional ties by establishing a five-shilling air-taxi service and making it ham. She had more than 26,000 flying hours to her credit when the war started, and had carried more than 30, 000 passengers in her air taxis, without a mishap. She is not a member of-lbe R.A.F. and the “captain” was handed her by the old Imperial Airways sys tem. Merry and friendly, with a wide acquaintance among influen tial persons, she began several | years ago campaigning and agitat-1 ing for a women's air arm in the national defense. This fervor found expression in her book, “Women With Wings,” published in 1936. The new ruling about the Spitfires and Hurricanes means that the "Atta Girls” cun now fly anything that gets off the ground in England. HANNEN SWAFFER, the dead pan, road company hamlet of British intellectual controversy, says this “V for Victory” thing is just “baby business.” He says the V stands for "vacillation. What we ! really want is a minister of produc tion and a plan run by a mind.” 1 Mr. Swaffer, distinguished dra matic critic, was over here in 1937. His contribution to a better under standing was a crack that "America s a place where they learn man >ers out of a book and charm by nail order.” i I y*fr JHynn GkcattA&u FOR A REAL TASTE THRILL, COOK IT OUTSIDE (See Recipes Below) OUTDOOR SUPPERS If you’ve a longing to do some thing different, an outdoor supper’s the answer. Get the smell of woodsy smoke In to your food, the crackle of burn ing embers for atmosphere, the sound of sizzling meat held over glowing names during me supper hour and you’ll experience a taste thrill you’ll long remember. Every thing tastes better cooked outdoors I Toss some cans of beans into a gay kerchief, wrap fruit, cookies, cake Into waxed paper, whip up some barbecue sauce to use with the meat, and the meal is under way. Outdoor cooking equipment may be as humble as a few large bricks, an iron grate, or an extra rack from the oven, a long handled fork for each member of the family. A light camping stove or a more elab orate griH such as a vertical or horizontal stove of sheet steel in cluding drip and ashpans, a roast ing spit, and warming shelves may also be used. Whatever you use, remember, it’s the cooking outdoors which makes the meal. You will want meat and plenty of it for fresh air whips up the appe tite. The family will come back again and again for this delicious meat with a sauce all its own: Tomato Horseradish Mustard Marinade. For 3 pounds of spare ribs or beef short ribs use: 2 tablespoons prepared horse radish mustard sauce Vt cup vinegar % teaspoon black pepper 1 cup tomato juice 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 2 onions, chopped fine Combine dry nnd liquid materials well and beat thoroughly. Place meat in a shallow bowl or glass dish and cover with the marinade. Turn every 3 or 4 hours and mari nate in refrigerator for 48 hours. Drain meat well before barbecuing and baste frequently while cooking over coals. The marinade may be thickened and served as a sauce over the meat. Your barbecuing will be more successful if you marinate the meat. It’s especially good on the less expensive cuts. If you’d like a meal-in-one with a minimum of fuss but nourishment plus, try this po tato salad made with frankfurters. If you’re accus tomed to your old and cherished po tato salad recipe. I’m still sure that you'll like this one: Frankfurter Potato Salad. (Serves 6) S medium sized potatoes, cooked, diced 1 cup diced celery 2 tablespoons minced onion 2 tablespoons minced parsley % teaspoon salt V» teaspoon pepper V4 pound frankfurters, skinned and sliced % cup salad dressing French dressing Marinate the potatoes in the french dressing. Combine all ingre* _ LYNN SAYS: While cooking under the sky over hot coals you'll want to re member: Charcoal burns to fine, lasting coals and gives a nice steady fire for barbecue cookery. For best results when using either char coal or wood should be burned until the flames disappear. Then the meat should be placed 8 to 10 inc! es above the coals and turned every few minutes to in sure even cooking. Hard woods like oak, hickory, madrone manzanita and maple give a lasting glowing bed of coals. Soft pine is suitable for quick grilling like hamburger and hot dogs. Whatever type of grill you use, pick a spot that's shady, not too far from the kitchen if you’re do ing it in the back yard and not too near heavy shrubbery. , —■' ' .. .

Especially in millinery, crochet steps blithely into the fashion pic ture this fall. Whether you like a flattering brim or a saucy pompa dour “beanie” your new headpiece will be smarter if it is hand-crochet ed. The girl that comes to the first class-meet in the new semester, hat ted in a nifty sailor like the one shown above to the left in the group will create a sensation.

Wool Lace Coat Here we have the ideal medium for the early autumn coat ... It will be well worth while to look up black wool lace, that is so fabric like it can be styled and manipulat ed like most any material. Arrnand Scardapane designs the striking coat pictured here, of handsome black wool lace. The new fall coats definitely re flect the cap* influence. This model heralds a coming vogue in the cape .aid wool fabriclike lace. Silhouette Changes Considered Drastic When you attend various fashion shows designed to open the fall pro gram of dress, go with an open mind and be prepared to see startling changes. You may have been going serenely along with the thought that you have a perfectly good suit or coat that you can wear again this season, but when you see the new “lines” you will find suddenly, you have changed your mind. There is a decidedly new order of things in the fashion world in the way of easy lines that stress a sup ple blouse movement above the mid riff. Sleeves have undergone a trans formation stressing dolman effects and even when sleeves are set into their deep armholes they give the impression of dolman sleeves. How ever the appearance of broad shoul ders is maintained through a gentle rounding off that depends on espe cially contrived shoulder pads, to hold a firm flattering line. Skirt interest is running high. Full ness is adroitly introduced to convey the idea of slenderness and the new tiered effects are making conversa tion throughout fashion realms. Watch peplums and tunics for they play a star role in this season's styling technique, with pleated skirts also very much in evidence. Bright Green Veils Huge white or black hats be-veiled in a green mist are ever so chic for summer. If you want to give your flowery toque or sailor hat ex tra fillip, enswathe it with a veil that is as green as the fresh green of early spring verdure. m /TO MAKE; \\ TEDDING RING TILE—the VV very name of this patchwork quilt is intriguing.
