This Valentine Cake Goes Straight to Your Heart!
(See Recipes Below)
Cupid’s Day
Hearts are king for a day and
with these magic little symbols you
can do up some
magic tricks that
will make small
entertaining a tri
umph. You can
have a party if
you like in the
Valentine theme,
or you can work
in the decorations
of hearts, Cupids,
red-and-white or
puik-and-wnite color scnemes in jusi
serving refreshments.
The idea is to be festive and just
gay enough to put you and your
family in a good mood. So plan
to be on speaking terms with Valen
tine’s day with the star selections
I’m including in today’s recipes.
If you’re really planning a party,
any number of ideas offer them
selves as a gracious part of the en
tertainment. For instance, if you’re
far enough north to have ice, an
Ice carnival is fun. A masquerade
In which the guests come dressed as
some of Cupid’s famous victims goes
over well. A card party featuring
games such as “Hearts’’ or “Old
Maid’’ might answer your needs, or
perhaps a dance with heart and cu
pid decorations in crepe paper.

‘Valentine's Day Salad.
(Serves 6)

Lynn Says:
Valentine ideas are practical
for the celebration of anniversa
ries even after St. Valentine's day
is past.
Recently 1 saw an anniversary
celebration at which a cranberry
mold was used. Cranberry jelly
cut in heart shapes was placed
around the big mold. The num
ber of small hearts correspond
ed to the number of years the
couple had been married.
The heart-shaped cakes and
molds of ice cream are much in
use for anniversary celebrations
and carry out the idea effective
ly. Heart-shaped candies may
also be used to decorate whipped
cream or desserts.

cut from pimiento in center. Dis
solve gelatin in cold water and fin
ish dissolving over hot water. Add
cottage cheese, mix well, then cel
ery and seasonings. Fill molds, chill,

Extra special describes some j
dishes perfectly, and such is my
verdict for this chicken loaf:
•Chicken Loaf With
Mushroom Sauce.
(Serves 10 to 12)
1 4-pound chicken, stewed, meat
diced
1% cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
3 eggs
Salt and pepper
Vi cup bread crumbs
Pimiento
1 cup rice
Cook rice in boiling salted water
until done. Do not rinse. Beat egg
yolks slightly, add to rice. Then
add chicken, bread crumbs, chicken
broth, milk, stiffly beaten egg whites
and seasonings. Butter a loaf pan
and dredge with extra bread
crumbs. Lay strips of pimiento all
along bottom of pan diagonally. Add
chicken mixture. Bake in a mod
erate (350-degree) oven lVi hours in
a pan of hot water. Allow to stand
Mi hour in pan after taking from
oven before attempting to unmold.
For mushroom sauce, canned
mushroom soup may be used. Fla
vor with the juice of a half lemon
and a dash of nutmeg. If you de
sire to make a mushroom sauce,
make 2 cups of medium white sauce,
add 1 cup sauteed, chopped, canned
or fresh cooked mushrooms. Season
this with lemon juice and nutmeg.
Meringues, crisp and chewy, are
unexcelled for desserts when main
courses arc on
the hearty side.
They lend them
selves to all types
of decorations
and in this in
stance, you can
serve them filled
with strawberry
ice cream or one
of the red ices.
•Meringues.
(Makes 10 shells)
6 egg whites
cup granulated sugar
V« teaspoon salt
V» teaspoon vinegar
Vi teaspoon vanilla
Add salt and vinegar to egg
whites, then beat until foamy. Add
vanilla, then add sugar, two table
spoonfuls at a time, beating steadily
all the while until whites are very
stiff. Spoon onto ungreased sheet
and hollow out centers. Bake in a
slow oven (250-degree) on an un
greased cookie sheet for 1 hour.
Cool.
"Heart-Shaped Sandwiches.
Use whichever kind cf bread you
prefer, and cut into heart shapes
with a large heart cutter. Butter
and fill with desired filling.
Two choice fillings which carry
out the Valentine theme are these:
Ham put through the grinder or
chopped fine ahd mixed with finely
chopped celery and pickle, mois
tened with mayonnaise. Jellies or
jams in red blended with cream
cheese are also attractive.

(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
'^JEW YORK.—Something like Ho
ratius at the bridge, or the little
Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke,
is the American Col. C. L. Chen

Air Circus Pilot American pi
Has Wings Spread lots, guard
Over Burma Road in« Bur

they come.
'Dieir score is more than 60 Japa
nese planes downed, including 24
bombers, with a possible seore of
around 100, taking into account the
enemy planes hit but not downed on
the spot. They’re doing all this with
antiquated planes, and so far
they’ve lost only 10 of them.
Six years ago, Colonel Chen
nault headed the army team of
precision acrobats which spread
heart-failure among the crowds
attending the Seventh Annual
Army Air races at Miami. He
and his mates, Lieut. J. 11. Wil
liams and Lieut. William Mc
Donald, put on probably the diz
ziest air show ever seen and at
the same time a demonstration
of the amazing maneuverability
of airplanes under highly expert
control.
The colonel, a lean, dark, quiet,
wiry man, was 45 years old when
the above air show came off. He
retired from the army and holed up
in a neat little house at Waterproof,
La. He had his books and his dog
and he was going to enjoy life with
his friends. However, he kept up
his studies of air tactics and strate
gy, having written two authoritative
text books on these subjects.
In 1937, he was approached
by a representative of the Chi
nese government who proposed
that he become air adviser to
the Chinese government. This
led to his four years' service in
China In which he organized and
commanded the present A.V.G.,
or American Volunteer group,
which is now outfighting the Jap
anese along the Burma road.
When he was here in January,
1940, he said that the Chinese planes
were liquid-cooled and at a great
disadvantage against any up-to-date
machine. A quiet, reserved officer,
with no dash of the swashbuckler
In his make-up, he says that he and
his boys can hold the road if they can
just get a few more fairly fash
ionable planes.

States government, and on Novem

167th anniversary.
Its anchor, globe and eagle em
blem and its “Semper Fidelis” have
been pretty nearly everywhere, and,
historically speaking, it will be old
stuff to the marines, wherever they
land.
Just now It has its highest
ranking rommandant in history,
with the President’s elevation of
Commandant Thomas Holcomb
from the rank of major general
to lieutenant general. General
Holcomb, 42 years with the
corps, is a quiet-spoken, heavy
set, business-like officer who,
like his "Leathernecks" has
been around a lot and has a way
of making himself at home un
der inhospitable conditions.
His World war honors, won in
France, include a citation by Gen
eral Pershing, the Navy Cross, the
Silver Star, the Purple Heart and
the Legion of Honor ribbon.
He entered the marine corps
as a civilian. His rough-and
ready military education later
was supplemented by a course
in the command and general
staff school hi 1925. He saw
service in China and the Philip
pines, back in the dawn days of
"manifest destiny," and in the
World war he commanded the
Second battalion of the Sixth
marines in the St. Mihiel and
Meuse-Argonne offensives. He
was assigned to Cuba in the
post-war years and, by 1935, had
attained the rank of brigadier
general. In 1936 he was made
a major general and comman
dant of the marine corps.
The Continental congress set up
the marines, the oldest branch of
the American armed forces. Away
back in 1802 they took Derna, in
| Libya, recently taken by the Brit
I ish. They were fighting pirates in
: the Dutch East Indies in 1835; in
Tripoli in 1840 and Formosa in 1867.
Their range has been north and
south from the Arctic to the far
, South Seas, and east and west
around the globe. Without dispar
agement to other forces they have
come to symbolize tough fighting
prowess and capacity for fast catch
as-catch-can milling anywhere.

German Admirals Still
Hoping for Big Sea
Battle ... Will Morale
Of Japs Hold? . . •
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON.—Most surprising
report from Germany in many
i months is that the Nazis are fever
ishly building battleships. Coming
at the time when most of the de
fenders of the big war wagons are
downcast as a result of the disasters
to big ships from air attack in Pearl
Harbor, off Malaya, etc., this puts
heart in some of the old admirals
who still insist that “when every
thing else is destroyed, the hulk of
the battleship will still be there, and
still able to Are some of its guns. ’
Assuming the report to be correct,
and there is no earthly reason to
question its honesty, it shows that
the German admirals are still hop
ing for a big sea battle, which, if
successful, would mean the crush
ing of Britain beyond any possibility
of relief from any other pan of the
world.
This hope was very strong in the
early part of the war, as pointed
out at the time in these dispatches.
What the German admirals hoped
was to whittle down the British navy
to a size which would give the Nazi
a reasonable chance for success in
the event of a major sea battle.
They have always been sure that
they could fight better, and particu
larly that they could shoot better,
than the British. This is based not
merely on their conceit as a super
race—for some reason the German
naval officer has never had as much
of this conviction of racial and class
superiority as the German army of
ficer—but on better optical glass.
This means, they believe, better
aiming.
But the whittling down process did
not proceed rapidly enough. The
British navy has taken some hard
blows, but so has the Nazi fleet.
The spectacular cruise of the Bis
marck encouraged the German ad
mirals more than ever, though the
loss of the ship postponed Der
(Naval) Tag. The fact that she hurt
the Prince of Wales seriously
enough to delay her speed, and
that she sank the Ilood without
difficulty, and that it took so much
trouble for the British to sink her
even after they had crippled the Bis
marck's own steering gear, proved
their every contention.
Very Bad Trade
Evidently the shooting of the Bis
marck in her engagements with the
Prince of Wales and the Hood was
superb, even admitting that the ex
plosion of the Hood's magazines was
a lucky shot. But the Prince of
Wales could be and was repaired
(only to be sunk by the Japanese
later). Whereas the sinking of the
Hood at the expense of the Bis
marck was a very bad trade for the
Germans, the Hood being an old bat
tle cruiser, a type which did not
show up well in the First World war.
So the news that there may be a
whole fleet of Bismarcks (the Tir
pitz is the only one completed) may
turn out to be very serious in
deed if the war continues long
enough. Applied to the Pacific situ
ation it becomes serious in that i(
will tend to hold all British naval
strength possible in Europe. Which
would mean that handling the Jap
anese, as well as keeping the line of
communication across the Atlantic,
will Become a U. S. navy job.
The extraordinary capacity 01
Germany to produce armament
continues the wonder of the ages.
Imagine her being able to supply
big naval guns for the new ships in
addition to supplying her army.
However. German efficiency nev
er takes into consideration certain
human factors. The Graf Spec ought
to have sunk the three little British
ships that attacked her, instead of
being smashed into uselessness her
self. And maybe the Japanese fleet
will not be so important by the time
the new German fleet is ready.
• • •
Can Japanese
Really Take It?
One thing that nobody is qualified
to talk about is Japanese morale. It
is something we simply know noth
ing about. But it is a very interest
ing object of speculation.
We do know something that has
been proved many times, in various
ways. We are very much like the
British in that we seldom do things
efficiently in a war. We make hor
rible blunders, but we aiways mud
dle through.
Now, as we keep fighting the Jap
anese, perhaps rather ineffectively,
but nevertheless annoyingly, will
there come a day when the people
of that country, or even its rulers,
begin to wonder whether all this is
worth while? Certainly the econom
ic profit from looting the Dutch In
dies will not be satisfactory as long
as they are losing ships and cargoes
! to submarine and airplane and raid
; er attacks.
We are assuming for the moment
that there will be no great naval
i battle in the Far East for a long
time. If there is, and we are vic
, torious, that would hasten peace. If
we should lose, it would merely de
lay it, though perhaps for years.
