Cooking for Two
Now that the honeymoon Is over,
the serious business of housekeeping
begins. Most brides manege well
with the general cleaning routines,
but marketing and cooking presents
some problems
No bride need feel alarmed, how
ever, about cooking or'marketing
for two, for it
is often just as
much of a prob
lem to market
and feed two peo
ple as it is a
dozen, To help
out this year's
bride, I’ve formu
la led a few rules by which she can
start guiding her culinary adven
tures.
First, the marketing. How, ex
actly does one use the food dollar?
It’s dooe by fifths: one-fifth of the
money should go for purchasing
fruits and vegetables; the next fifth
for milk and cheese, and the bride
should remember to provide a pint
of milk for her brand new husband
and herself, every day, in drinking
or cooking. Another fifth goes for
meat, eggs and fish, and still an
other fifth provides the bread and
cereals. The last fifth is used for
purchasing fats like butter or en
riched margarine, sugars and ac
cessories.
The above yardstick will help the
bride plan her well-balanced meals.
Purchasing fruits, vegetables, milk,
butter and cheese will be simple if
she follows the guide.
The wise bride will buy carefully,
planning menus in advance so there
will be no waste and all leftovers
will be used in menus.
Before she markets, she makes a
list, looks through the advertise
ments to decide where she can get
the most for her money. After mak
ing sure her list is complete, she
goes to the grocers to do her buy
ing. In this way she does not have
to make too many trips and she
can save her own time and that of
ber grocer. She knows there is a
premium on time in wartime.
The bride also deplores waste,
especially in buying meats. To aid
her in making out the meat list for
two, I have made out the following:
Beef:
X club steaks
X cube steaks
1 T-Bone steak
X rib steaks
1 pound round steak (for swiss
steak)
X pounds pot roast
1 flank steak (for stuffing)
1 pound ground beef (for loaf)
M pound ground beef (for pat
ties and casseroles)
H pound liver
4 large frankfurters
Fork:
X chops (butterfly, loin or shoul
der)
146 pounds spareribs
4 to 6 slices thin Canadian bacon
44 pound ham slice
X pounds fresh loin roast
X pounds smoked butt (boned)
44 pound bulk sausage or links
44 pound bacon
44 pound tenderloin
Veal:
X pounds rolled rump roast
X loin chops
Lynn Says:
Here are the rules by which to
substitute honey and com syrup
for sugar in your recipes.
In using honey, substitute Vt to
1 cup of honey for each cup of
granulated sugar, but reduce the
liquid in the recipe % cup for
each cup of honey used.
In using com syrup, substitute
2 cups of corn syrup for each
cup of granulated sugar. Reduce
the liquid in the recipe by one
fourth.
If you wish to substitute com
syrup for only part of the sugar
you may substitute 1 cup of com
syrup for each ft cup of sugar
and reduce your liquid one-eighth.
Because of the difference in fla
vors of substitute products, be
prepared to have a slight change
of flavor in the food you prepare
with them.
Honey cakes and cookies, if al
lowed to ripen, will have better
flavor.

■^EW YORK. — Alter the first
World war, the war department
picked Brig. Gen. Hanson E. Ely,
as he was then, to “read, mark,
learn and in

Digest Failures *est' ’ 0ur
And Successes war exP"ri'
ence. This
he did, as president of the army
war college, and his documented
and formulated findings of what our
army learned in this short, prelimi
nary bout have been worked into
*>ur military heritage and are now
«ing used in the main event.
Major General Ely rates any
casnal, off-hand optimist when
he says we’re doing all right
in this war, that we’re get
ting plenty of fighting tools, and
that officers and men have what
It takes. One feels a bit offside
If he gela too much this way or
that, but in this corner we can’t
help being bncked np when any
one of General Ely’s profession
al detachment says we're com
ing through. He is 75 years old,
having retired from active doty
in November, 1931, when be
reached the statutory retirement
age. He didn’t “shoulder his
crutch and tell how battles were
won.” He continued as an in
structor in the war college in
Washington, lecturing on “the
psychology of the battlefield.”
And It is interesting to find an
old - timer hoping instead of
croaking, and telling how much
better they used to do things in
his day.
He is a huge man, supercharged
with physical and mental energy,
and hit his later years with a tre
mendous momentum. They call him
“Ely of Cantigny.” That goes back
to 1918, when he commanded and
led the 28th infantry when it cap
tured Cantigny in one of our most
brilliantly executed victories of the
war. This and other such exploits
brought him the Distinguished Serv
ice Cross, the Distinguished Service
medal and five awards of the Croix
de Guerre.
He was born in Independence,
Iowa, and, after his graduation from
West Point, taught military science
at the University of Iowa. He was
in the Philippines, fighting and hack
ing his way through the jungles with
Gen. Frederick Funston. from 1898
to 1904, back again in 1907, to re
main five years and make the first
complete map of the Philippines. He
is one of the nation’s leading au
thorities on tactics and battle lead
ership—with a mind flexible enough
to turn from tactics to the improvi
sations of strategy, if that is what is
needed.
A LEAN and academic but tough
bachelor of the science of edu
cation, in the army after winning
scholastic laurels, is in command
of our new

the mainland. He is Brig. Gen. Wil
liam C. Lee, Colonel Lee until a
few weeks ago, a native of North
Carolina, born with an insatiable
desire both to get and to impart in
formation. He was an early spe
cial pleader and experimenter in
parachute jumping, as well as mech
anized preparedness in general.
The parachute army numbers
about 8,000 men and one wonders
how lads not long out of a class
room or a soft job on the ground,
with no practice war for a work
out, will take to this ultra-modern
rough-and-tumble of sky and land.
General Lee figured all that.
He formulated the science of
physical, sensory emotional con
ditioning of human raw materi
al, with a view to reducing nerve
and reflex variables to a calcula
ble minimum. To do this, he
wanted to know more about
communicating precise knowl
edge, so he knocked off from ac
tive service and, in 1936, after
19 years in the army, took his
degree in the science of educa
tion, at the University of North
Carolina. He works the theory
of plastic endowment, the condi
tioning reflex, and the transmis
sion of the social heritage into
teaching rookies to take a dive,
puli the rip-cord at the right
split-second, unlimber their guns
and score passing marks there
after.
General Lee was bom in 1895 and
entered the army from the Univer
sity of North Carolina in 1917. An
| incurable bookworm, but always
| craving action, he wolfed all avail
able army courses, including the
| officers course of the infantry school,
the full table d'hote of the tank
school, from which he was graduat
ed in 1930, the general staff school,
and then back to Chapel Hill for
coaching in telling what he knew.
He was appointed to his present
command last March “to formulate
tactical and training doctrine for air
borne troops.”
WASHINGTON —While the deci
sion has not been made, it is highly
unlikely that President Roosevelt
will revise upward his demands of
construction of merchant ships.
The classifications, using precious
steel which will be raised, are aimed
at destroying submarines rather
than replacing losses from subma
rines.
It will be noted that most of the
ships sent to the bottom by subma
rines have not been in convoys—nor
In the patrolled lanes. That is one
reason for the gasoline shortage in
the Eastern states. Obviously there
have been no convoys of tankers
bringing oil from the Gulf ports to
the East.
The only important protection af
forded along that long coastwise
route has been by airplane spotting.
It is true that this has resulted in i
the sinking of some undersea boats,
but it has n6t proved very sound
Insurance for the tankers.
In contrast, the supply ships
transporting our men aud sup
plies to the various theaters of
war, from the Arctic coast of
Russia to Australia and all way
Have suffered hardly at
all.
This is the logic behind the Presi
dent's present thought that it is bet
ter, for the time being, to put any
surplus steel that may be available
over and above the objectives al
ready laid down into destroyers, tor
pedo boats, corvettes, etc., rather
than into merchant ships.
One for One
One destroyer, corvette or torpedo
boat may destroy a submarine which
otherwise might sink a dozen mer
chant ships. Of the three types none
uses more steel than a single mer
chant ship; the corvette uses con
siderably less, and the torpedo boat
very little indeed.
There is another argument for
building more submarine destroyers
rather than U-boat fodder. This is
that when a merchant ship is sent
to the bottom there is frequently a
loss of life. Nothing comparable to
when a ship is lost in a naval en
gagement, for as a result of present
war conditions frequently the ma
jority of a crew of a warship is lost.
But too many trained seamen in
the merchant service are being
killed. And they are very difficult
to replace. So it is quite conceiva
ble that one corvette or destroyer
might save the lives of a considera
ble number of merchant seamen, as
well as merchant ships.

Allies Permit News 1Leaks*
To Create Confusion
During the period known as the
“phony war,” before Germany over
ran the Low Countries and Norway,
and short-circuited the Maginot line.
Hitler was doing to the French and
British what Roosevelt and Church
ill are now trying to do to Hitler.
No one knew, then, what Hitler
was going to do. So Hitler utilized
the time by finding out precisely
what the French and British—not to
mention the Belgians and Dutch,
would do in every possible contin
gency.
Over the many months of the
“phony war” Hitler thus acquired
a vast amount of information as to
just what to expect when “Der Tag”
came.
As a matter of fact their peoples,
those in Belgium and Holland, were
very much divided. Many of them
thought they would be able to main
tain their neutrality throughout the
war. It is of record that Hitler sold
guns to the Dutch for gold, and then
captured the guns later on.
Naturally the parallel is not ex
act There is no maneuvering of
an invasion force up and down a
frontier, while the helpless victims
on the other side, hoping to main
tain peace, scramble for a defensive
distribution of their forces. But the
effect is very similar, from a mili
tary standpoint.
News is allowed to leak out—in
fact it is broadcast—that a “very
large" American expeditionary force
has landed in Northern Ireland. A
few days later it is announced offi
cially that another large Canadian
force has landed in Britain.
We do not know precisely how
large this United States force
now in the British Isles (count
ing Ulster as part of that cate
gory) may be. We only know It
is sitable.
It is assumed by officials here
that Berlin knows precisely how
many Canadian troops are in
waiting there for the "second
front," and what their equipment
and training is. It is also as
sumed that Berlin knows how
many Canadian troops are in
Britain, and how many British
troops are available.
What Berlin does not know is
where this force is going to strike,
or when. It might be anywhere
from the North Cape, or beyond, to
Murmansk, down to Italy.

The Sargasso sea, a part of the
North Atlantic which covers an
area as large as that of the con
tinental United States, is unique
in that it is relatively motionless
and that it far exceeds in size any
other water or land area in the
world devoted exclusively to the
growth of a single species of plant,'
which is a floating seaweed, says
Collier’s.
Incidentally, this weed fs also
unique because it grows at the
tips as it dies at the base.
