MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LEFTOVERS!
(See Recipes Below)
TRIMMED TO TEMPT . . .
Leftovers on purpose! There are
so many delicious ways of using left
overs, why not call them "planned
•heads"? Casseroles, meat loaves,
salads, soups and
so on will do
much to turn the
tag ends of day
before • yester
day’s dinner into
mealtime "come
ons.”
The trick is not
to serve the same
old hash or stew
in the same old way, but to give left
over foods fresh faces with fresh
recipes. Like many thrifty home
makers, you, too, can discover the
economy, both in time and money,
of buying and preparing a Large
roast, or more than enough vegeta
bles, with leftovers in mind.
You can’t always make mealtime
foods come out even. So, let’s be
practical about the situation. If you
serve roast chicken or baked salmon
for Sunday dinner, plan to do all
sorts of things with the leftover por
tions for weekday meals.
Here's a roll call of leftovers and
how to fix them—proof that ‘'day
after” foods can be jiot only good,
but delicious!

Add remaining ingredients. Heat

NEW YORK.—It was quite by ac
cident that little Dorothy Dale
of Kansas became a sorceress and
overthrew the Wicked Witch of the
E a s t a n d
Patriotic Songtter treed the en
Intpiring a New slaved
Upeurge of Faith
dered why Lucy Monroe, the "star
spangled soprano,” kept reminding
us of all this and now it is all clear.
Miss Monroe’s mother, Anna
Laughlin, was the first Dorothy
Dale, in ‘The Wizard of Oz,” with
Fred Stone, and when the daughter
made her musical comedy debut in
"Louie the Fourteenth,” in 1925, old
timers in the audience, this one
among them, were moved to poign
ant and all but tearful memories by
the winsome daughter’s resem
blance to her mother. Little Doro
thy Dale was forever young, still
in a land of enchantment—that was
all there was to it.
The sorcery of Miss Monroe,
opera, concert and radio star,
is, unlike that of Dorothy Dale,
quite premeditated, and involves
a somewhat wider outreach in
world liberation, but at a time
when people are hoping that
somebody will pass a miracle.
She has become our national pa
triotic songster and song-leader,
here and there and everywhere,
and at the convention of the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars at the
Philadelphia Municipal stadium
recently, she led the second
"community sing," in a series
of great public Invocations of
old-time patriotism throughout
the country. More than 30,000
persons attended the first one
at Washington several weeks
ago.
The ‘‘star spangled” phase of
Miss Monroe's career began in 1937
when she was made official soloist
for the American Legion. This
stirred in her deep patriotic fervor
which found a response in her audi
ences everywhere.
She is an eighth-generation Amer
ican, trained as a singer entirely in
this country. She made her Met
ropolitan debut in "La Boheme,” in
the spring season of 1937.
IN THE first World war, facing a

lin into a corner and told him to dish

of lines from the first one:
"Don’t you worry, mother darling,
Although the skies are gray,
For there’s always a little bit of
sunshine,
In the Y— M—C—A."
This time they pick for the
bucking-up job a eugcnist, pop
ulation expert, conservationist,
business researcher, corporation
executive, art connoisseur, bank
er, and traffic expert—all in the
one distinguished person of
Frederick Osborn, of New York.
The war department names him
as head of its morale branch,
with the temporary rank of brig
adier general.
The appointment may or may not
have something to do with the re
cent disquieting magazine articles
about unrest in the new army. Gen
eral Osborn has been occupied, as
a dollar-a-year man in Washington,
as a consultant in various endeav
ors and has been chairman of the
army and navy committee on Joint
recreation. Hence it is possible that
his appointment to the army post
had been decided upon before the
recent flare-up about discontent
among the National Guard and se
lectees.
Whatever the appointment
may mean, the choice of a civil
ian for this office sets a prece
dent. General Osborn replaces
Brig. Gen. James A. Ulle. Fur
thermore there is disclosed here
a trend away from showmanship
as an old-line, dependable mo
rale builder. Billy Rose of
Broadway was back in New
York a few weeks ago, after a
session with the army morale
builders. He was all fussed up.
“Nothing happened,” he said.
“They told me my blueprints were
wonderful, the ideas were wonder
ful and I was wonderful. Then they
said good-by. That’s all I expect to
happen.”
General Osborn, never a hoofer or
spooler, Is 51, the son ofW.C. Osborn,
distinguished New York lawyer, and
an alumnus of Princeton university
who started a career of business
management in 1912. His book,
"Preface to Eugenics,” published
last March, reveals uneasiness
about the (ailing birth rate and the
urgency of nice people having more
children. Ife has six. Always in
deadly earnest, he’s farthest north
from Broadway, and Irving Berlin’s
little bit of sunshine in the Y.M.C.A.
S Possibly a highly technical war de
mands that kind of morale-builder.
NATIONAL
AFFAIRS
Reviewtd by
CARTER FIELD
Industry Is Hoping for
Action to End White
House Defense Bottle
neck . . . Hitler s Repu
tation as a Prophet
May Be Discredited.
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON.—Industry is still
hoping for some move to end the
White House bottleneck in national
defense. So far there is a great deal
of talk about it, but nothing funda
mental is even promised.
The trouble is that “Papa,’' as
FDR likes to call himself in discuss
ing any question involving final deci
sions, still has the last word. That
means there can be no action until
FDR has passed on any particular
problem. He has not really dele
gated authority. He merely has set
up organization after organization
which proposes what shall be done.
Generally a proposal, lying on the
President’s desk, is opposed by an
other proposal from another organi
zation. And the President has to
pass on the merits of both, some
times three or four proposals, before
a wheel can turn.
Most spectacular has been the
rapidly increasing overlapping, and
friction, between the OPM, headed
by William S. Knudsen, and OPACS,
headed by Leon Henderson. Judge
Samuel Roseman has been designat
ed to arbitrate that dispute.
But the appointment of this ref
eree shows the lack of power to act
with which both OPM and OPACS
have been entrusted.
The contrast with the last war,
when Bernard M. Baruch headed the
War Industries board and had al
most czarlike powers, is distressing
to those who want to see the "ar
senal of democracy” function at top
speed.
It is alleged that many mistakes
were made in the last war. In fact,
it may be said many mistakes were
made. But a careful survey of the
post-war criticism by business men
and army and navy officers in the
service, shows that very few mis
takes stemmed from this delegation
of power to the War Industries
board.
Wilton Entrusted
Huge Powers to Baker
Students of that period always
have been aghast at the extent to
which President Woodrow Wilson
entrusted power to Newton D.
Baker, his secretary of war. It was
Secretary Baker who selected Gen.
John J. Pershing, despite the ilarnor
for Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. This
is true despite all the allegations that
it was President Wilson’s own feel
ing against Wood which counted.
As a matter of fact, the decision
not to send General Wood to France,
after General Pershing had been se
lected as commander in chief, was
made by General Pershing and not
Secretary Baker. Secretary Baker
also delegated authority. He went
so far as to have General Pershing
send his own choice, Gen. Peyton
C. March, back to Washington, to
make sure that everything General
Pershing wanted the war depart
ment to do was done.
This is cited not because it is
parallel in detail, but because it is
the same sort of idea. The trouble
is that so little power is delegated.
This has been characteristic of
President Roosevelt since he en
tered the White House, and, curi
ously enough, it was believed to be
characteristic of Woodrow Wilson.
But when the big war effort came
President Wilson delegated power
right and left.
Hitler’s Prophecy
In Danger of Discredit
Interviewers permitted to talk to
German prisoners in the Canadian
camps report that almost as a unit
the Germans expect a German vic
tory. Not only that, but they ex
pect it this year.
This means that the whole Ger
man army and navy, and the Ger
man people believe the same thing!
Several shrewd British officials in
Washington believe that this is the
most important (actor in the war at
the present moment—far beyond
many other phases recorded in the
daily headlines. They point out that
it is simply impossible for the whole
German people not to be bitterly
disappointed as the winter passes
and no peace is in sight.
Any soldier who was In the front
lines in France in 1918 will confirm
the fact that the German army was
not crushed in the last war. It was
fighting magnificently up until a few
weeks before the Armistice. The
German submarines were taking a
terrific toll of shipping in October,
1918, up until a few days before the
end. Nor was Germany starved out.
The food they had on hand was not
what they would have ordered, but
it was sufficient. And there was
enough on hand, as the German peo
ple knew, to last for a long time.
It was the German morale which
cracked in November, 1918, and it
cracked because suddenly the Ger
mans realized that they had been
deceived by the kaiser. He had
promised them victory in 1918. He
had specifically promised that they
would win BEFORE America would
be able to get troops to EuroDe
