Honey is different chemically from sugar so follow all amounts given in recipes carefully for best results. They have been tested to give you the necessary correctness in cooking. To measure honey, use a greased or a moist cup so it will pour out readily to the last drop. A greasing brush is an economi cal way to grease the cup. In measuring spoonfuls of honey, dip the Epoon first into cooking oil, melted butter or liquid fat be fore dipping in honey. Keep liquid honey in a warm place, about 75 degrees or over. Avoid damp places of storage. Comb honey is better kept at room temperature rather than in the refrigerator. To liquefy honey that has gran ulated, place in a bowl of warm water, just warm enough for a hand, and leave in until all crys tals have dissolved. Cakes made with honey taste different from cakes made with sugar and seem less light and fluffy when baked. But the cakes will be moist, flavorful, and nice textured if you let them stand from a day to three days to age properly. Place honey jar in warm water for about 10 minutes before us ing.

"^JEW YORK.—Just as we were thinking we ought to get the Hound of the Baskervilles on our side in this war along comes the news that Nations Dogs for this is being Defense; *Sick ’Em’ attended to. /* ™e,V Battlecry ^ov er is being mobilized, the dogs are being trained for the army quarter master corps, the navy and war in dustries—mostly sizable dogs so far, with deferred ratings for pekes and toys. They’re good night-workers and the only slogan they need is “Sick ’em!” It’s a dream come true for Harry I. Caesar, the dog-fancy ing banker who for many years has been the four-square friend of the four-footers and who is now president of Dogs for De fense, Inc. More than 150 dog conscious delegates from many ‘ states attended the organization meeting in New York recently, with Mr. Caesar presiding, and laid out plans for the elite guard of dogdom, with the kennel clubs and the American Theatre wing co-operating. Col. Clifford Smith of the quartermaster corps told the meeting that "One well trained dog is the equivalent of six guards.” The dogs also will serve in their traditional role as the lonely soldier’s pal. Mr. Caesar stems from a long line of Indian-fighting colonial an cestors, going back to around 1650 and dogs have always figured ro mantically in his family ante cedents. His financial operations head up in New York, and he is a public-spirited citizen of Rumson, N. J., former councilman of that town and active in welfare and phil anthropic enterprise. From Brooklyn he went to Hill school, Princeton and Wall Street, landing in the latter narrow thor oughfare in 1913 and soon thereafter becoming a director of the banking house of H. I. Caesar & Co. In World War I, he served as a cap tain in France, prospered in busi ness in the post-war years, and had plenty of time for dogs, friends, clubs, golf, tennis and amateur war strategy. A REPORTER once asked the late Clarence Darrow to ex plain the basic success principle of his career. “Getting out of hard t work," said Digging Education Darrow, “I Proved Antidote didn’t like For Ditch-Digging £“«S around to see who made the most money with the least work. Natural ly, I became a lawyer.” J. H. Kindelberger, president of North American Aviation, Inc., re acted similarly, and successfully, from digging ditches. He heads one of the biggest aviation plants in the world and is now uniquely in the news as he hands back to the gov ernment $14,000,000 rather than take it as a profit. He says increased ef ficiency has cut plane costs 33V& per cent, and the government, consider ing its present urgent needs, ought to get a cut in this technological gain. It was a six-months’ stretch of ditch-digging on a fortification project at Norfolk, Va., which made young "Dutch” Kindel berger decide to forswear for ever a pick-and-shovel career. He quit the army engineering corps and qualified for special engineering studies at the Car negie Institute of Technology, in 1916 and 1917. Then he got a Job as an apprentice engineer with the National Tube company at Wheeling. He became a draftsman and Inspector, with, however, plenty of hard work, and that, of course, disposes of any cynical implications in his and Mr. Darrow’s success story. At 30, he was a draftsman with the Glenn L. Martin Airplane com pany, when Donald Douglas with drew from that firm and founded his own company. Mr. Kindelberger went along as chief engineer of the Douglas Aircraft company—on his ! way up. He engineered some high I ly effective new planes and caught : on in administration and finance, as | well as in technical operations. He j has been president of North Ameri can since 1934, with his home and I business office at Los Angeles. Born in Wheeling, W. Va., in 1895, he was a second lieutenant in the aviation corps in World War I. In 1919, he married Miss Thelma Knarr, at Wheeling. They have two children. He backslides a bit, dig ging in his flower garden. The gov ernment is no doubt happy to know that he quit ditch-digging. He has been frank about his run-out on ] ditch-digging, but his career shows that he doesn't mind work. And sharing the profits with the govern ment is a sharp standout against the capitalization writeups of boom years. NATIONAL AFFAIRS Rtvitwed by CARTER FIELD Navy Forced to Reveal Enemy Subs Destroyed . . . Buck Being Passed i On U. S. Synthetic Rubber Program . . . (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.! WASHINGTON. — Public opinion forced the radical revision of the navy’s policy of not announcing sinking or capture of submarines. The other day when the sender of the “Sighted sub; sank same” mes | sage got his second U-boat (and was promoted to ensign) the navy de partment announced that at least 28 subs had been put out of action. This was still far from what the people wanted to know. For in stance, the official statement said that these 28 had been eliminated “in the Atlantic and Pacific”; so ob viously it includes some Jap subs sunk in the Southwest Pacific. What the people were worked up about was the sinkings by subs in the At lantic, which had Become such a menace as to worry the British gov ernment. If we had been told more often Just how many subs were being sunk in the Atlantic and particularly in waters close to our own shores there may have been a greater feeling of relief. The navy still likes the no tion, which originated with the Brit ish navy in the last war, that it is much better tactics not to let the enemy know when one of its subs has been destroyed, captured, or damaged. silence on subs sunn The theory of the British, which we have adopted, is that the Ger man admiralty has a pattern in its placing of submarines for opera tions against supply lines. The thought is that when a couple of holes have been smashed in this pat tern, and the enemy does not know it, we can take advantage for a short period, perhaps reaching into weeks, of that superior knowledge run ships through the hole in the line, so to speak. This theory is supported by a wealth of experience, the British admiralty believes, so it is difficult to argue against it. It is supported also by the fact that while submarines can surface at night and listen for radio orders they do not dare use their own wire less for sending. To do so would locate them for hostile warships and planes. But people like to hear about the enemy getting hurt, especially when there is so much bad news. Gen erals have been known to allow their troops to fire at the enemy when they KNEW it was just wasting ammunition, just to keep the morale of their men up. So the navy now is doing the best it can in that direction without actu ally flying in the face of the major strategy in submarine warfare. Hence the announcement that 28 submarines have been put out of ac tion “in the Atlantic and Pacific.” It is not always easy to be SURE that a submarine is demolished. But in most of the attacks on the Atlantic coast the locating of a sub and the dropping of the depth charges have been done by airplane, and a man in a plane, circling over the spot where the quarry was last seen, has a much better chance of determining whether the attack was effective than would the men on a destroyer, due to the fact that one can see farther under the surface from a plane than from a destroyer’s bridge. Background on Present Rubber Situation There is too much buck passing on this synthetic rubber situation. As sistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold is trying to hang all the blame on the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. Actually the company seems to have done a pretty fair job in trying to interest the government in time to have prevented the present shortage of tires and other neces sary war material. Jesse Jones’ enemies have tried to pin the nickname "Bottle Neck" on him. Actually it has been shown pretty conclusively that it was Presi dent Roosevelt himself who blocked the synthetic rubber program. So what? It is rather difficult to survey all the facts that could have been before the President at the time and then charge that he showed bad judgment. On the facts in hand, it should be admitted that, the Presi dent's judgment was not only good internationally, but — much more notable—sound economically! Let's look at the picture as it was at the time he made the decision. Here was a proposal to make rubber out of oil. There were two kinds— two processes. Both of them were more expensive than production of rubber from the sap of rubber trees. One of them was definitely admitted not to be as good as natural rubber. Either would cost more than we were paying the British and Dutch for rubber, which was 22 cents a pound. But—we knew that the Brit ish and Dutch could produce rubber and sell it to us at a profit at 10 cents a pound!
