Spring Luncheons
A> spring spreads its fragrance
•nd gayety once more across the
days, do your
moods turn to
thoughts of ex
quisite, gracious
luncheons? Yes,
to be sure, they
do. You get love
ly visions of pic
ture-plate lunch
eons, crispy green salads, tiny,
moist sandwiches, the tinkle of
china on cool, crisply laundered
cloths, centerpieces of delicate
flowers.
But this year’s luncheons are dif
ferent from last year’s. The plates
are pictures to behold, true, but
the menus are kind to purse strings
and food shortages.
A bowl of colorful greens, curly
endive, crisp lettuce, tossed togeth
er with grapefruit and orange sec
tions with red slivers of strawber
ries are perfect with these muffins
and all you would want for lunch
eon:
•Molasses Nut Muffins.
(Makes 24 small or 18 large)
3 tablespoons butter
34 cup sugar
1 egg
1)4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
34 teaspoon salt
34 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped Brasil nuts
H cup milk
34 cup pure, dark molasses
Cream butter, stir in sugar gradu
ally and cream together. Stir in
well-beaten egg and blend. Mix and
sift flour with spices, salt, soda and
baking powder, then mix in Brazil
nuts. Add alternately with milk ana
molasses to the first mixture. Bake
in well-greased muffin pans in mod
erate (350-degree) oven 25 minutes.
You can have a veritable smor
gasbord on your main luncheon
plate if you carry out the general
idea by serving several different
kinds of salads in frilly lettuce cups.
Pick out some combinations you
like best from these ideas here:
•Chicken Salad.
(Serves 8)
2 cups diced, cooked chicken
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup halved, seeded grapes
34 cup toasted pecans
34 cup mayonnaise
Combine all ingredients lightly.
Chill, add mayonnaise and toss
lightly together.
•Fruit Salad.
(Serves 8)
4 thick slices grapefruit
4 thick slices oranges
4 slices pineapple
8 whole apricots
1 small package cream cheese
Pare oranges and grapefruit. Cut
into slices. Cut pineapple, oranges
and grapefruit slices into halves.
Arrange in a fan shape on curly
endive or lettuce. Stuff apricots
with cream cheese and place at low
er edge of the fan.
Lynn Says:
The Score Card: Latest reports
reaching me assure us that: we
have enough black pepper and
most spices for at least two
years. Coffee and cocoa supplies
are adequate from South Ameri
ca. and tea stocks are still good.
Domestic fats and oils will
have to replace imported palm
and coconut oils used for frying
fats, soaps and oleomargarines,
and homemakers must conserve
all soaps and frying fats care
fully.
Tin will be available for can
ning foods that cannot be pre
served in other ways, but you
will be wise homemakers if you
learn to use dried fi4iits properly,
and can from your own defense
gardens this summer. Be kind
to your kitchen equipment and
gadgets made out of tin, for there
will be no more after that is used.
Pineapple is still being planted
and shipped to the mainland, and
no serious shortage is yet notice
able.
This Week’s Menu
Guest Luncheon
Assorted Salad Plate:
•Chicken Salad
•Fruit Salad
•Egg Salad in Tomato Cups
•Molasses-Nut Muffins or
•Cheese Rings
Coffee or Tea
•Recipes Given.
•Egg Salad In Tomato Cups.
(Serves 4)
4 medium sized tomatoes
1 package cream cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped
green onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped
green pepper
% medium sized cucumber,
chopped
3 hard cooked eggs, chopped
k■ cup mayonnaise
Wash tomatoes, peel. Slice off
top, and scoop out the center. Toss
the other ingredients lightly to
gether and fill the tomato cups. Chill
well and serve on lettuce.
All three of the salads given can
be served on one individual platter.
Arrange them attractively, a scoop
of the chicken salad, a fan of fruit
salad, and then the tomato cups.
Your platter is complete for a lunch
eon and a very pretty sight to be
hold! A hot muffin to accompany
and a fragrant cup of tea or coffee
completes the luncheon.
On the other hand, if you prefer
salad bowls whicfi the guests will
serve themselves, here are ideas:
Greens: chunks of lettuce, water
cress, slivered green onions, rad
ishes.
Oranges: Use sections on a bed
of curly endive or curly garden let
tuce, with raspberries or strawber
ries for color.
Vegetables: Cooked green beans
in lengthwise slices, carrots, raw
or cooked, in slivers, cooked limas,
chopped ham.
Fruits: Beds of lettuce, length
wise slices of bananas, berries in
season, cheese balls dipped in
chopped nuts.
Dressing makes an important ad
dition to salad, and many times this
is left to your
own preference.
For, if you like,
have the choice
of two permitted
for your guests.
Save sugar in the
little ways, is our
motto, so here is
one way to do it. This dressing
uses molasses for sweetness.
Piquant French Dressing.
H cup salad
& cup vinegar
V4 cup chili sauce
V4 cup pure, dark molasses
1 teaspoon salt
H teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon onion, grated
Mix all ingredients together and
beat thoroughly.
When you invite your friends over
for salad and rolls for these lunch
eons, this may seem like so little,
but it’s guaranteed to make a hit
if you do the little details up right.
Have the salads crisp and cool and
well blended. If having rolls, these
should be piping hot for contrast. It
you don’t feel inspired to make rolls,
then do other things like getting
ready-made rolls and pretty them
up:
Toasted Long Rolls: Split, butter
and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Pop into the ove.i until cheese
melts. Serve hot.
Cheese Rings: Use day-old bread
and cut rings with a doughnut cut
ter. Brush with butter or salad
oil, dip in cheese, and bake in a
moderate (350-degree) oven until
golden brown.
Orange Biscuits: Add grated rind
of orange to a baking powder bis
cuit recipe. Roll and cut. Dip a
cube of sugar in orange juice and
press into top of each biscuit. Bake
in a hot oven 12 to 15 minutes.
Lynn Chambers will be happy to give
you advice on your luncheon or salad
problems. H rite to her at Weslern

(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
XTEW YORK. - For about five
years, young John Earl Baker
had probably the most unexciting
job in the world. He was a clerk |
for the Inter
Bach From Burma state Com
Road, Authority Is merce com
Hopcful of China "1,is*ion ‘°
r taled up sta
tistics for the census bureau and was
statistician for the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men.
Then he got a sudden rase of
hot-foot, tie quit herding figures
and was off to China as adviser
to the ministry of communica
tions. For 30 years, he has been
battling plague, famine, pesti
lence, social disorder and the
feudal hang-over of past cen
turies, as China threw off the
Manchus and moved out into the
modern world. Directly or in
directly, he probably has saved
as many human lives as any
other man living.
The modern world seems to be
mainly an extension of the troubles
Dr. Baker has seen. Arriving in
New York on a ship frdtn the Pacific
war zone, he is calmly hopeful about
China, as always, and says that al
though the rail end of the Burma
road is closed, the road is still open,
and the Chinese have enough goods
stored up to keep traffic moving for
two years.
He knows a lot about this. It was
just a year ago that he was made
director general of the Burma Road
Construction company — a drab
name for one of the most stirring
exploits in history. Dr. Baker cher
ishes the Order of the Bountiful Har
vest and the Order of the Beautiful
Jade, conferred upon him by the
grateful Chinese. He is off to his
home in Mill Valley, Calif.
From his home in Eagle, Wis.,
Dr. Baker went to the University
of Wisconsin, taught country
school for several years and,
during his years In government
service qualified as a specialist
on fiduciary problems of railway
management. In China, he
found not only a tangle of un
related railroads, shoved In by
various quarreling exploiters,
but a morass of human misery
which enlisted him for three
decades In bis fight against
starvation, In which railroad or
ganization was only a detail. As
director of the American Red
Cross famine relief in 1920, he
got in training for his Burma
road Job by building 850 miles of
railroad to get wheat to famine
victims.
With his Chinese decorations, Dr.
Baker takes back with him to Mill
Valley an honorary degree from his
alma mater. He is 61 years old, big,
vigorous and handsome.

machine-age war. Their sharp pen
cils, spearing a new formula, may
damage the enemy more than any
16-inch gun.
Here's one of them, studiously
Inconspicuous in a Washington
cubbyhole for many years, one
Lieut. Col. Paul T. Logan, casu
ally in the news in a little item
from Harrisburg, Pa., announc
ing that some big factories were
taking up large-scale manufac
ture of his new non-melting
choeolate bar. for the army. That
might sound like boondoggling,
but, back-trailing the colonel
two or three years, you tind that
the chocolate bar is the army’s
proven solution for getting top
mileage and staying power for
jungle fighting in tropical coun
tries.
The colonel quietly turned in his
chocolate bar in October, 1939, after
several years of research and ex
periment. It is made of raw oat
flour, bitter chocolate, cacao fat,
sugar and skimmed milk, with a
small dash of vanillin. It doesn't
sound like food for heroes, but army
records show that just a few bars
of it will run a soldier until he has
to get his shoes half-soled. Also,
soldiers like it.
People who have been to Iowa,
or who have read Phil 8tong’s
books, know that that’s where
real connoisseurs of bulk food
come from—as did Colonel Lo
gan. After entering the army
from civilian life, he was gradu
ated in the infantry school of
ficers’ course In 1926, from the
Q.M.C. subsistence school in
1932, and in 1939 from the Army
Industrial college. The non-melt
ing chocolate bar idea is one of
Colonel Logan's many adven
tures in forethought when jungle
fighting seemed quite remote.

Japanese Successes
Are Causing Adolf Some
Worry . . . Deceased
Admiral's Genius Now
Admitted .. .
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON. - There are in
creasing evidences that Adolf Hitler
is a little bit worried about Japanese
successes in the southwest Pacific.
Not that Hitler is confiding to any
of our sources what he thinks, but
we do know what he is letting the
German people be told, and it is not
difficult, at times, to read between
the lines when one knows that what
is printed not only has government
approval, but is government in
spired.
There are two distinct possibili
ties which this line of thought might
produce. One is an attempt by Ger
many to end the war before Japan
gets a strangle hold on her new
conquests.
Bear in mind here that the Nazis
apparently—again judging from the
comments the government of Berlin
permits—are even more surprised
at the extent of Japanese success
than we are, which is saying quite a
lot.
So the Nazis confidently expect,
now, that Japan will wind up not
only with all of the Dutch East In
dies, but with Australia and New
Zealand as well, not to mention In
dia, Ceylon, Madagascar, Burma,
and the Philippines. In fact the
Germans are openly talking about
South Africa.
Naturally, the Germans have no
confidence in altruism on the part
of the Japs. They know what hap
pened in the last war, when Japan
seized Shantung and kept it, not
bothering to fight any more after
she got what she wanted.
They know also about the former
German islands which were man
dated to Japan. They know the
Japs have no thought of ever giv
ing them back to Germany.
What Japan Will Do
More important, they know what
Japan will do after the war with
every bit of territory she is able to
acquire, assuming Axis victory.
Those markets will be closed to
Germany, as to the rest of the
world, Just as Japan closed Man*
chukuo before this war began.
Now all this, though clear to the
Nazis (they are protesting in their
newspapers that of course Japan is
not going to do this) is not at all
in line with the German vision of
the New Order. Germany does not
want some of the most productive
land in the world, and the largest
supply of cheap labor In the world,
exploited by a rival nation, and cer
tainly Japan would be a very active
rival for Germany after the war in
the event of Axis victory.
So it is just possible that the
thought may occur to Germany that
if she can just keep most of what
she has taken in Europe, and let
the United Nations take care of Ja
pan, it might be better for the Nazis
in the long run.
This may sound absurd at first
blush, but the Nazis, like the Japa
nese, look a long way ahead. They
have no fear that, once the war is
over, the much despised democra
cies will penalize themselves by con
tinuing to be prepared for another
war.
That, of course, is the fly in the
ointment. Roosevelt and Churchill
are not likely to accept any Nazi
peace proposal, no matter what the
terms.

Now Recognized Prophet
Once Considered Naval ‘Pest’
i
“I explained all this to Joe Daniels
but he didn’t hoist the idea aboard.”
The speaker was the late Rear
Admiral William F. Fullam. The
time was February 1921/just before
Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels passed out of office along
with Woodrow Wilson. The occa
sion was that Admiral Fullam had
brought his “copy” into the Wash
ington bureau of the old New York
Tribune. The "copy,” which was
1 always a masterly editorial in sup
port of a three-plan navy, but par-1
j ticularly stressing air power and
submarines, was printed regularly
in the Tribune under the nom de
plume “Quarterdeck.”
His rather long articles, packed
with the same arguments time after
time over a period of years, and
larded with the admiral’s pictur
esque expressions (he dated back to
the sailing ship days) were unmis
takable to anyone who had ever
heard him talk. And that meant
every naval officer he could make
listen to him.
The plain truth is that he was re
garded as a pest by most of the ad
mirals who were running the navy.
The writer accompanied Admiral
Fullam on several of the trips into
the Atlantic, off the Virginia capes,
when General Mitchell demonstrated
what could be done in attacking
ships by bomb-dropping planes.
We saw ships sunk by bombs—
not just flimsy merchant ships, but
war ships. Gn one of these trips an
old German battleship was sunk by
a bomb which did not hit her, but
fell in the water right alongside!
