Jtynn QltatftLeM.— The Truth of It Is . . . This Cherry Torten Is Good! (See Recipes Below) Washington Day Ideas It took Washington to make the cherry famous by telling the truth about cutting down that famous tree, but it takes only a sampling to make us appreciate the excellence of this luscious red-ripe berry. If you’re sensitive to color, and most of you are, I am sure, then you can make the most of the possi bilities which the cherry offers for pepping up win ter mealtime. With appetites riding high, but opportunities for decoration fairly low in these cold er months, the* Washington birthday and its syno nym the cherry, come to the rescue. All of today's recipes have “Um um” tacked onto them, so make your bids for fame by starting off with: •Cherry Torten. (Serves 6 to 8) Torten Layer: 1 cup sifted flour H teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar Mi cup butter 1 egg yolk, slightly beaten Combine flour, salt and sugar. Cut In butter with knives or pastry blender. Add beaten egg yolk and mix thoroughly. Press this mixture into baking dish or pie tin. Cover with cherry topping and bake in a hot (425-degree) oven for 15 min utes. Reduce heat to moderate (350 degree) for about 20 minutes. Serve hot or cold, with whipped or plain cream if desired. Cherry Topping: 1 No. 2 can red, tart, pitted cherries % cup sugar 4 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon butter Drain Juice from cherries. Heat to boiling point. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Add enough cold wa ter to make a smooth paste. Pour this gradually into the boiling cher ry Juice and cook 5 minutes, stir ring constantly. Remove from Are, add cherries and butter. This upside down cake is as good as it looks because the cherries are interlaced with the delicious car amel mixture. You'll be extra clever for vary ing the dessert course with this newcomer to the upside down cake family for it’s i bound to carry off first honors: Cherry Upside Down Cake. 2 eggs Vi cup sugar Vi cup boiling water Vi cup cake flour Vi teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon lemon or orange ex tract 1 Vi cups red, pitted cherries Vi cup butter Vi cup brown sugar Beat yolks until thick; add sugar gradually. Continue beating and add water. Mix well and add sifted Lynn Says: The cherry family is one with many branches. In addition to the red, tart pitted cherries which are abundant in the summer and which can easily be put up well in cans, there are two other types of cherries worthy of mention. The first of these is a white type cherry commonly called Queen Anne. This lends itself well to salads and adds distinc tive flavor especially when used in combination with other fruits such as pineapple, oranges, grapefruit and bananas. A little bit of the Queen Anne cheery goes a long way. The other type, called Bing cherries, are deep, dark red. and quite sweet. For that reason they are at home In desserts. They can be made into sauces and served over ice creams and pud dings.

Bake 30 to 40 minutes in a moderate (350-degree) oven. If you ever have cherries lefl over, you may thicken the juice with cornstarch mixed in water and heated to the boiling point. This is especially good on rice or cottage pudding or as a sauce over ice cream. Cherries and peaches are an in spired combination, especially in pie.

PARTON (Consolidated Feature*—WNU Service.) ■NJEW YORK—In the years be tween the two world wars, Dr. Winifred V. Richmond of St. Eliza beth’s hospital, Washington, D. C., .... _ devoted in Stabilize Parent, tensive re Rather Than Child, searchtothe Psychologist Says rava*es uo£ war psycho sis on the mind and personality of the young. She became a leading authority in this field and, in her work today offers unique and highly informed conclusions as to how to safeguard children, particularly ado lescents in the intensifying psycho logical war. The problem, she finds, is largely the stabilization of par ents rather than the young. She cites primitive cultures. Primi tive man takes his horrors In his stride. He has a physical and emotional equipment to meet them. He doesn’t crack up, and neither do his children. Young children get emotional security from their elders. Such is Dr. Richmond’s drift In her many books and articles, the lat est of which is her newly pub lished book, “Making the Most of Your Personality.” Within the last few decades she has examined countless children in the twilight zone of near-emotional and psychological collapse. She has saved or helped to save many of them. Her findings are compiled in her latest book, addressed to both parents and adolescents. Safe guarding the children in the "war of nerves” is her campaign. She is a devoted, graying abbess of science, born in Elizabeth, W. Va., in 1876, holding degrees from Ohio and Clark university. She taught 15 years, starting her career in a one-room country school, and moving on to the teaching of mental hygiene, and in wide fields of re search, in many universities.

Lippy Fakir of Ipi The G e r Is Quite Slippery mans are ^ rr 7 giving him another workout among the wild tribes of Afghanistan and northwest ern India, having used his incen diary talents for years before the start of this war. Kipling’s ’’Man Who Would Be King,” operating in the same territory, was just an old stick in-the-mud, compared to the emaciated wild-eyed little man, with his hair dyed bright red and a yell that gives everybody a nervous breakdown for miles around. His dish is "scourging the Infidel British.” He is the “Avenger of the Church of Is lam,” an ace troublemaker for the Germans and Japanese just now, with his skill in provoking murderous religious wars. The British take him seriously, as his inflammatory range is such that it might necessitate the with drawal of troops from Burma and Bengal to guard the Khybcr pass. As a matter of fact, the British have taken him seriously for many years. They have chased him on foot and on horseback, with planes and armored cars, with an army of 40,000 soldiers, and with everything but bloodhounds. But he has always slipped just out of reach. He has been known as "The Holy Man of the Suleiman Mountains,” and among the tribesmen the legend grows that he can do a clever dis appearing act when the. police are i closing in Although he is now only 41 years old, he has been a prac ticing hell-raiser for 20 years, one of the best in the business. He grew up in the bazaars of Peshawar in northwest India, a coolie, and the son of a camel driver He has led border tribes in several violent uprisings, nota bly in 1931 and 1932. His Pathlan raiders have been notoriously bloodthirsty News reports are that Axis agents are gearing him in widely organized radio campaigns. —♦— A FIGHTING priest, becoming an admiral, is assigned command of the French possessions in the Pacific, by the Free French National committee in London As a priest, he is the studious and ascetic Father Louis de la Trinite of the Carmelite friars.

By R. J. McKENNA (Chairman, Montana USD A Delens* Board.) Dangers that face the livestock industry if cattle numbers continue to increase past a balance with nor mal feed supplies were pointed out by Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard in a recent letter. There is danger ahead for beef cattle producers if herds continue to increase, Wickard stated. This, together with the fact that abundant supplies of food are needed for na tional defense, indicates that in- [ creased marketings of beef cattle and calves in 1942 will benefit not only cattlemen but the National De- j fense program as well. Secretary Wickard’s statement pointed out to stockmen several things they could do to make their position more secure. He advised increased marketing of cows and heifers which, because of the good demand and price, would mean more money to pay off indebtedness and get set for what may come in the future. This present demand also offers stockmen an opportunity to improve their breeding herds by culling out and selling undesirable animals at a good price. Keep livestock numbers in bal ance with normal feed supplies, he urged. Range conditions and feed supplies in the West have been un usually good this year. Drouth can cause a lot of loss if there is no feed reserve available. In 1934, just before the disastrous drouth, there were 74,000,000 head of cattle in the United States and in an other year, if the present rate of increase continues, there will be at least that many again. Vitamins Important In Animal Breeding The success with which farmers raise their pig. lamb and calf crops to meet expanding national food needs may depend in a large part on the kind of rations they supply their breeding stock, says Earl H. Hostetler, professor of animal hus bandry at North Carolina State col lege. Rations well fortified with vita mins and minerals are required for normal reproduction, and vitamins A, E and C have received most attention in relation to reproduction. Carotene, which is present in well-cured green hay, fresh green pasture, grass, well-made corn, grass and legume silage, and yellow varieties of carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes, is the principal source of vitamin A, highly essen tial in the reproduction of all farm animals. However, Hostetler pointed out, carotene is rapidly destroyed in feeds, especially under conditions of poor storage, so precautions must be taken to provide adequate amounts particularly to pregnant animals. As early as in 1922, the vitamin E factor was demonstrated to be necessary for reproduction of labo ratory animals such as the rat, but the need for it in the diet of farm animals other than poultry is still questionable. Most good rations contain adequate amounts of this vitamin, and only in unusual cases Is it likely that animals may be ster ile because E is lacking. Such feeds as wheat bran, shorts, linseed meal, hominy feed, white and yellow corn, cottonseed meal, and kafir are good sources of vita min E, as are most of the common hay and pasture crops. — Agricultural News Casein and other plastic dress and millinery ornaments and buttons will replace those made of metals which are needed for defense pur poses. • • • Canned edible soybeans, which look and cook like limas and have a nuttier flavor, are on sale in gro cery stores in parts of the United States. • • • British farmers put under cultiva tion an additional 2,000,000 acres | last fall in order to make the coun try more self-sufficient in the way of foodstuffs. • • • Due to the shortage of aluminum, only 11,000 pounds will be available for the manufacture of poultry wing bands this year as compared with 150.000 last year. • * * Adding common baking soda to water given to feeder cattle imme diately after they are received may avert losses from shipping fever.

Japan Fortified Her Mandates (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) WASHINGTON. — It is possible, though one must not depend on it, that the sugar rationing will not continue throughout the duration of the war. For a considerable time we will be very short, due to various mistakes, most notable of which was not holding down the Philippine duty free imports to the figure their own people said in 1929 they could not exceed. This was an unnatural situation. Actually the only reason the Philip pines had turned so heavily to sugar was that they had what amounted to a non-competitive market in the United States. They were inside our tariff wall, and therefore did not have to meet the competition of Java, which can produce sugar more cheaply than the Philippines. Not only that, but they were guar anteed the sale of their sugar in our market by the quota system which our department of agriculture set up, over violent protests from the Louisiana and Florida cane produc ers, the best producers in 20 states, and the Puerto Ricans and the Cubans. So now we are faced with the loss of this million tons which under the rationing system, had become vir tually a substantial part of our sugar rations. This is more than TWENTY MILLION POUNDS of sugar a year. Holding Sugar Production Curious in this connection is the fact that department of agriculture officials virtually had been at their wits’ end to hold down sugar pro duction. Beet culture had spread, from 15 states where it flourished about the time the quota system was inaugurated, to 20 states. So beet acreage was curtailed to an average extent of 17 per cent as late as 1941. Cane acreage was cut 10 per cent. This followed a previous cut of 25 per cent which involved the plowing up of growing cane! If one studies the situation with hindsight it becomes obvious that the cries of the sugar states politi cians ought to have been heeded the moment this country began lend lease operations, long before it was admitted that we were drifting into the war. For the need for more and more industrial alcohol was evident Fortunately most of the cane farm ers in Louisiana took a chance last September. They risked their bene fit checks from the department of ag riculture by planting some 25 per cent more than their quota! Meanwhile, Cuba is increasing her production also, but no one can pre dict what may be the result of the war requirements for alcohol. For tunately, alcohol can be produced from any grain. • » • Few White Men Ever On Japanese Mandates One of the very worst features of the Versailles treaty has been the •‘mandates.” It was under a “man date” that Japan took over the Marshall and Caroline islands, and many others in the Pacific. It is around those islands that her fleet is supposed to be, say the arm chair strategists. It would seem to be the logical place for it—right on the flank of the normal route from the United States to Australia, which line is south of these islands, and to the Philippines. It is assumed that Japan, has turned the islands, which extend for considerably more than 1,000 miles east and west, and nearty 800 miles north and south, into a nest of naval and air bases. No white men have been permitted on the islands for more than 15 years! “You can count on the fingers of one hand the white men who have been on any one of those islands in the years since Japan took them over," a prominent diplomat said. Which leads us to wonder where the notion of a "mandate” came from and what it is all about. The notion of a “mandate” origi nated in the clever minds of some of the negotiators at the Versailles conference. It was a concession to one of the famous Fourteen Points of Woodrow Wilson. The particular point in question grew out of his "Peace Without Victory” slogan, which was so irritating to the Allies, much as it may have appealed to the Germans. In fact, the Ger mans always have claimed that they laid down their arms in the Armistice on the basis of the Four teen Points, and then were be trayed. First the notion was that the ter ritory to be taken from Germany, particularly the colonies (Alsace and Lorraine did not figure because they had been taken from France by Germany in the Franco-Prussian war, 1870) should be administered by the League of Nations. But it was decided to delegate this func tion to certain Individual countries. Then the colonies were divided up very much as they would have been in an old-fashioned conquest, except that Japan was given much more than was warranted.
