(See Recipes Below)
Lenten Meals
Eggs, cheese, fish and vegetables
—these are the foods that will be
popular with the
market basket
during the next
few weeks. If

0 from these dishes
rnnlr thpm imt as
carefully as you do the meat that
you use year ’round, for you can’t
take chances and let mealtime be
come dull or unattractive.
Point up fish and vegetables with
lemon or other attractive sauces and
flavorings. Serve your egg and mac
aroni dishes in attractive settings,
with some carefully thought out gar
nish. Play §p fruit and dessert num

you heed these simple rules, I'm

Now, for some concrete help. I’ve
chosen foods to fit the season.

An appetite - satisfying omelet?
You can't believe it? Well, this one
is, because it s
made with a
cream cheese and
chive mixture
that makes the
omelet heartier,
and also keeps
it from shrinking
discouragingly
me moment it comes from the oven.
A slow oven is essential to a fluffy,
orange-gold omelet:
•Cream Cheese Omelet.
(Serves 6)
% pound cream cheese with chives

a well-buttered, heavy frying pan
and cook over low heat until bottom
begins to brown. Then place in a
moderate 1325-degree) oven until the
top is dry and the mixture firm. Fold
and serve.
The name is goldenrod because the
dish bears a close resemblance to a
flower of that name. Just combine
the goldenrod eggs with a tempting
green spinach ring and you have a
real Lenten treat:

XJEW YORK.—With all the bad

is reassurance in finding an intelli
gence officer who is really intelli
Act, Like Man of ££ "S,?
Thought; Think, gent and op
A, Man of Action 1*™ ^ding a
four-leaf clover. The congenital op
timists this department has known
in the last few years haven’t been
any too bright.
Everybody who knows Col. Eg
mont Francis Koenig, intelligence
officer of the First air force, sta
tioned at Mitchel Field, L. I., testi
fies that he is "smart in the head.”
As to his hopeful outlook, here’s his
current observation about plane pro
duction.
"I can assure you that were you
to know the exact figures of actual
bomber production your heart would
swell with pride, as did mine when
these figures were confided to me.”
The First air force comprises 22
states of this region. As head of its
G-2 section, Colonel Koenig is its
eyes and ears, and its alarm clock.
If he happens to be an optimist, he
has to work like a pessimist, who
expects the worst. Small, agile, dili
gent and alert, insatiably curious
about many things, he is at the op
posite pole of the brass-hat army
tradition, easy to see, an enemy of
red tape, popular with his men and
a multitude of others eager to give
him an earful about anything they
consider important
Colonel Koenig’s mind has many
facets all of which were polished up
in various pursuits before he en
tered the first World war as an
amateur soldier and rose rapidly in
rank as an apt pupil in the science
of arms. A native of New York, he
was in Europe as correspondent of
the old New York World when the
war started and entered the army as
a second lieutenant. Two years lat
er, in 1918, he was a major, at the
age of 26.
Back home in 1920, he entered the
chemical warfare service. He was
one of the founders and the first lec
turer at the Army Industrial col
lege. later an instructor at the Fort
Riley Cavalry school, and then in
Hawaii for two years. He was back
in 1935, teaching military history and
intelligence at the general staff
school at Fort Leavenworth.
He attended St. Francis Xavier
and took his bachelor of arts de
gree from Columbia in 1912.
DEAN SWIFT said he had grave
misgivings about the human
race as a whole but he couldn't help
liking John and Peter and Paul.

_ „ against him
Stoncs if Need Be seif ” this
department finds the highly person
alized aspects of the encounter the
most encouraging.
One feels that way in meeting
Lieut. Gen. Louis Souques of the
Free French, in New York, en route
to London from French Equatorial
West Africa. If you happen to think
that there is too much machinery in
this war and you long for a dash of
the Beau Sabreur, fending off black
legions with a broken blade, you in
stantly assign the general this role,
and feel much better about the
chances for a happy ending. The
general’s career to date is a remind
er that he and the other Free French
| leaders are tough, realistic, hard
hitting, resourceful and experienced
fighting men. who would give battle
with cobblestones if they had to.
Obviously the lean, whippy gen
eral would have fought with the Al
pine Chausseurs. He would wear on
his tunic the Croix de Guerre and
the ribbon of the Legion of Honor
and other decoration*.
Asked whether Hitler would be
able effectively to convert and use
the continental resources of labor
and materials, or whether increas
ing sabotage might pull him down,
the general replied:
"At present, Hitler is converting
i much of these resources, and it
would be unwise to underestimate
this. But his troubles are already
beginning as the conversion turns
from consumer goods to capital
goods. Obviously, the Germans must
center on heavy industry, in utiliz
ing French plants and labor for the
war, and the curve of sabotage will
go right on up with this effort”
We asked whether the betrayal of
France by certain highly placed pol
iticians had been due to the infil
tration of Nazi doctrine or to venali
ty. "Most of them were just graft
ers.” he said. "They didn't care
much about political philosophies,
but they loved money and they
feared communism. Petain wasn't
a grafter, but long before the war
he had looked sympathetically or
what he considered the German
achievement of order and discipline
He was an honest believer in his
own conception of an authoriiariar
state."

CARTER FIELD
Great Value of Fighter
Planes Now Being
Understood by Using
Defense of Britain as
Example . .. Non
Defense Agency Heads
Worrying . . .
(Bell Syndicate—WNt! Service.)
WASHINGTON —Just as the ef
fectiveness in military strategy—as
distinguished from mere destruction
and terrorism—of the bomber was
overestimated in the early stages of
the war, so the fighter and the tor
pedo plane, especially the latter,
were underestimated.
The huge production promised by
President Roosevelt in his address
to congress included all types of
plhnes. There is a strong feeling,
however, that a larger quota of the
planes should be fighters and tor
pedo planes and a smaller propor
tion of bombers than is now con
templated.
Curiously enough, the “fighter”
plane is really more a defensive
than an offensive weapon while the
heavy bomber is primarily an of
fensive weapon.
Fighter planes are essential to
protect bombers, because a fighter
plane can make short work of a
bomber, a dive bomber or a tor
pedo plane if it catches one of these
without protection from other fight
ers.
It was the concentration of British
fighter planes against German
bombers which was one of the chief
reasons for the failure of the Nazis
to crush 3ritain early in the fall of
1940. Goering sent over plenty of
fighters, but the British fighters had
strict orders to avoid combat with
them whenever possible, and con
centrate on the invading bombers.
A Murderous Toll
This policy, coupled with the for
tunate circumstance that Sir Hugh
Dowling had forced the equipment
of the British fighters with such
heavy fire power (failure to do
which explains the utter futility of
the much vaunted Italian military
aviation) took a murderous toll of
the invaders. Some think it was this
toll which defeated the Nazi objec
tive. Some think the Germans would
have won had they decided to pay
the price.
It was after this that the torpedo
plane came into its own. The theo
ries of the admirals, British as well
as our own, about the almost in
vulnerability of battleships to air
attacks, have been partially justi
fied so far as bombers are con
cerned. But the torpedo plane has
proved the deadliest foe of the big
battle wagons. It was these planes
which smashed Italian ships at
Taranto. It was a plane-fired tor
pedo which crippled the Bismarck’s
ability to steer; torpedoes which
sank the Prince of Wales and the
Repulse.
Strangely enough, the only battle
ship sunk by a bomb in the whole
war so far has been a Japanese ves
sel, sunk by one of our army bomb
ers.
The idea of bombing Germany
into submission has been abandoned.
This means that more emphasis
from now on must be placed on oth
er types of planes, against the day
of expeditionary forces promised by
the President.

Capitol Workers
Can’t Change Jobs
The idea that national defense
would be best served, and local
Washington’s housing and transpor
tation problems rendered less dif
ficult, by transferring competent
workers from reform and other non
defense agencies to the war agencies
came to a number of high govern
ment officials, including cabinet
members, who realized that if this
sort of thing started there was no
telling where it might stop—or what
might happen to their place in the
sun as a result.
The first red light was seen by
these officials, far more concerned
about conserving their own power
than anything else, when lend-lease
operations really began moving.
Then when OPM began to function,
needing an army of new clerks and
stenographers as well as officials,
came a deluge of requests by em
' plcyees to move from the non
defense agencies to OPM, to the
war department, to the navy depart
| ment. etc.
Immediately the ban was clappec.
| down. Workers in existing reform
and other non-defense agencies posi
tively would not be permitted to
switch over. They were even for
bidden to apply for work in the new
agencies!
Probably the most amusing case
was that of Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard, who was so worried when
some of the political appointees actu
ally moved over. The joke here is
I that every department head is sup
i posed to be delighted when any ex
! cuse takes a political appointee
away from him. on the theory that a
non-political appointee is more ef
ficient and does more work for less
salary
But Mr Wickard—and other heads
of non-defense agencies—didin't like
this prospect. They wanted the po
, litical as well as the less influential
j employees to stay right with them.
Quite Simple
Sally— What's your idea of a simple
wedding?
Joan—One that costs twice as much

Fired!
Captain—Is this gun working?
Private—No, sir. It’s been dis
charged.
The female of the speeches is
deadlier than the male.
Ain’t It So?
Philosopher—And what do we
want in this world to make us
happy?
Cynic—The things we ain’t got.

Only Explanation
At last he mustered up his courage
to pop the question, and, to his blissful
\ bewilderment, was accepted. If lien he'd
j recovered, he stammered:
“However did it happen, Jasmine,
that such u bright and shining angel as
yourself could ever fall in love with a
! dull, stupid fellow like me?”
“Goodness knows, Ted,” was the fair
maid’s candid comment: “/ must have a
screw: loose somewhere."
What’s Wrong With That?
Exam. Paper—If it took seven
men four hours to dig a ditch four
feet deep and two feet wide, sixty
feet long, how long would it take
three men to dig the same ditch?
Bright Student—No time at all,
the ditch is already dug.
A pessimist is a man who is al

Correct Diagnosis
A Negress, asking the New Mex
ico State Employment service to
help her to find a job, said her hus
band had been in a car smash and
suffered “conclusion of de brain.”
“You mean ‘concussion of the
brain’?” suggested the official.
“No, suh,” said the Negress.
“Ah means conclusion of de brain.
He’s dead.”
In Other Words—
There was a terrific crash in the
hall, and mother ran out of the
dining-room, her eyes wide with
fear
“Whatever’s that?” she gasped.
Her son, a shining light in the
Air Training corps, reassured her.
“It’s all right!” he replied. “It
was only father coming down
stairs. He nose-dived, flattened
out, and made a crash landing.”
