Lynn Says:
For best results in outdoor
cooking use a small fire. Be sure
you have a deep bed of coals be
fore you start broiling or frying
your food.
To start the fire, use a soft
quick burning wood like pine,
spruce, hemlock, laurel, poplar,
or aspen. For a good bed of
coals, use a hard wood such as
maple, oak, ash, beech, birch,
hickory, or any available hard
wood in your community.
Seasoned wood which has not
lain on the ground long enough to
become wet or rotted, but long
enough to dry out, is best for
fires. Wood without bark makes
the best kind of fire, as bark will
cause a fire to smoulder. To start
a fire more easily, use split wood,
as it burns more easily than
round logs.
You won’t be a sissy if you
kneel when using a hand axe for
chopping or splitting wood. If
you use seasoned wood, it can
easily be broken into convenient
chunks for the fire.

•Roast Corn.
Have a hot fire and let it burn

I is a good pile of
red embers. Soak
the ears of corn

•Roast Potatoes.
Bury potatoes in hot ashes and
roast as you do the corn, until they
are tender. They take longer to
roast than the corn. Serve with lots
of butter, salt, and pepper.
•Marshmallow Dessert.
(Serves 6)
Small bars of plain chocolate
12 graham crackers
12 marshmallows
Toast 2 marshmallows over the
coals to a crisp, gooey state, and
then put them inside a graham
cracker and chocolate bar sandwich.
The heat of the marshmallow be
tween the halves of chocolate bar
will melt the chocolate just enough,
and the graham crackers on the
outside are nice to hold.
Do you like to go primitive and
roast meat over a forked stick or
long-handled fork? Then, you’ll like:
Kabobs.
For each person, allow V* pound
round steak, Vt of a medium-sized
onion, and a few slices of 2>acon.
Cut the meat in 1-inch squares, cut
the onion lengthwise, from top te
bottom. Cut the slices of bacon
into thirds. Place beef, onion, and
bacon on a fork or stick, alternate
ly, and broil over coals until done.

NEW YORK.—A few years ago,
Thomas Alva Edison offered
Dr. George Washington Carver, the
Negro scientist, $100,000 a year to
Ex-Slave Building Oratory and
Bulwark Against carry through
cl « a • Mr. Edison’s

the making of synthetic rubber. Dr.
Carver refused. He said he had too
much to do on his peanut re
search, and wrote: "God didn’t
charge for his work In making pea
nuts grow, so I won’t charge for
mine."
Dr. Carver, at 78, now joins the
experimental laboratories of the
Ford Motor company at Detroit. It
was in 1938 that Henry Ford visited
Dr. Carver at Tuskegee institute,
and they since have become warm
personal friends. Both Mr. Ford
and Mr. Edison were deeply inter
ested in synthetic rubber. It is not
unlikely that rubber was discussed
on that 1938 visit and it is a wide
open guess that Henry Ford has
taken an even more timely interest
in rubber and has enlisted the
services of one of the greatest living
authorities and skilled miracle
workers in plastics and synthetics—
the aged Dr. Carver.
Dr. Carver never has patent
ed any of his innumerable proc
esses, or gained a cent from
them. They include making
peanuts a $61,000,000 crop and
developing from them more
than 300 saleable products, in
cluding not only foods, but
paints, stains and linoleum. Dr.
Carver was born in slavery,
near Diamond Grove, Mo. He
was traded for a horse, found
his way Into freedom, added
scores of millions to the annual
crop output of the South.
He was 20 years old before he
learned to read or write, and, with
this new and prized equipment
walked and worked his way to Min
neapolis, Kan., and odd-jobbed his
way through high school and through
the Iowa State college of agricul
ture and mechanical arts. Soon after
his graduation, he joined the faculty
of the above college and went to
Tuskegee institute in 1896, where he
is now director of the department
of agricultural research. Simpson
college gave him an honorary de
gree in science, the Royal Society of
Arts of London voted him member
ship and he was awarded the Spin
gam medal in 1923 and the Theo
dore Roosevelt medal in 1939.
He is a kindly, stoop-shouldered
old man, with white hair and lron
rimmed spectacles. He is unmar
ried and deeply religious. He is apt
to answer questions about his work
by quotations from the Bible.

the navy’s official report on his per
formance:
"Capt. Robert C. Giffen was
awarded the Navy cross for distin
guished service as commander of
the USS destroyer Trippe. escorting
and protecting vitally important
convoys of troops and supplies, and
in offensive and defensive action
vigorously and unremittingly prose
cuted against all forms of enemy
naval activity."
Unofficial accounts of the day
went into much more detail
about the young captain’s skill
and courage in chasing subma
rines through mine-strewn wa
ters. Toward the end of the
war, he commanded the USS
Schley In the eastern Mediter
ranean. In 1927, he command
ed the USS Sacramento, was
commended for distinguished
service with the Asiatic fleet
and in 1928 and 1929 command
ed the destroyer division of that
fleet. His other honors include
the Victory medal, with destroy
er clasp, the Yangtze service
medal and the Navy Expedition
ary medal.
Admiral Giffen was born in West
chester. Pa., in 1886, studied at De
La Salle institute in Chicago and
Notre Dame university and was ad
mitted to the Naval academy from
Nebraska in 1903 In 1937 he took
command of the USS Savannah.
On the German short-wave recent
ly, we heard a fake American voice
telling the world that our navy was
manned mostly by frightened young
sters who didn't know port from
starboard and all of whom would be
expeditiously bumped off by Nazi
subs Admiral Giffen is an old hand
at answering this kind of talk—with
guns. He Isn't given too much to
talk, expressing himself most effec

bridge Just in passing, it may have
been this Nazi short-wave which led

Military Strength of
Russia, Japan Still a
Secret... What Cabinet
Of 1940 Thought of
Defending Australia...
Bell Syndicate—WNU Feature*.
WASHINGTON.—Two nations now
at peace with each other, but fight
ing desperately in the war on oppo
site sides, remain utter enigmas as
to fighting strength, numbers of
troops, capacity of production of war
supplies, and every other detail es
sential to the military pattern.
These are, of course, Russia and
Japan.
Not only was Adolf Hitler fooled
as to Russia’s strength when he first
attacked; he is still ignorant of her
capacity. But that ignorance like
wise applies to Great Britain, the
United States, China, and all the
other United Nations.
Japan fooled us and the British
both very badly as to her strength
prior to December 7. But she also
fooled Hitler and Mussolini, not to
mention the other Axis *‘partners.”
Today, according to the best infor
mation obtainable, Berlin is just as
ignorant, not only as to Japanese
strength but as to Japanese plans,
as are London and Washington.
A prominent official who has stud
ied British airplane production esti
mated a few days ago that British
and American production of war
planes now exceeded those of the
Axis powers by at least 50 per cent.
He frankly admitted he had no idea
of the Russian production, but made
a guess that if it were added then
the United Nations plane production
would exceed Axis two to one.
Two Guesses Are Made
In this estimate he was making
not one, but two guesses. For no
one outside Japan really knows what
Japanese production is. Very few
people inside Japan know, and that
goes double for Russia.
There is a great deal of dissatis
faction in London and Washington
over this lack of information as to
Russian production. Russia tells
Britain and the United States what
she wants, but even with the lease
lend bait we do not get any infor
mation. Nor are our military and
naval observers given a chance to
follow the fighting on the ground
and gain their own impressions.
Though Hitler sent Japan more
than 1,000 Messerschmitts he has
been given no more information
about Japanese production than we
have about Russian.
Perhaps the answer is not so
much that Japan does not trust Hit
ler’s intentions, and Russia those of
Britain and the U. S., as that they
do not trust the secrecy of informa
tion once imparted to their allies.

“But Australia Was
\A Long Way Of ”
Before the 1940 election President
Roosevelt, who had already given 50
destroyers to the British and de
nounced Mussolini for his “atab in
the back,” was talking to members
of his cabinet and congressional
leaders at the White House.
What, he asked them, did they
think the United States should do if
Canada should be attacked by Hit
ler?
There was instant and unanimous
answer. The United States should
defend Canada with all its force.
But suppose it should be the West
ern coast of Canada that was at
tacked, and Japan which was doing
the attacking?
The answer was a bit slower, but
when it came it was again unani
mous, and the same.
The President suggested that they
should stretch this logic a bit fur
ther. Suppose, he said, that Japan
should attack Australia? What then?
This time there was utter silence.
It continued.
Finally, after a slow grin at the
position in which he had maneuvered
his cabinet members and the con
gressional leaders, he called for
some explanation for this lack of en
thusiasm for defending Australia.
When it still appeared that nobody
else was going to say anything John
Gamer, then vice president, spoke
up.
“You see, Mr. President,” he
said, “Australia is a long way off.”
The significance of this story,
which has just leaked out via a cabi
net member at a dinner party after
being guarded for nearly two years,
is startling.
It should be remembered that at
the time this quizzing of cabinet and
congressional leaders by the Presi
dent occurred there could have been
no reasonable doubt as to the in
tense hostility with which Japan re
garded us.
At that time we were encouraging
China, against whom Nippon was
fighting her undeclared war, with
not only words but money. We were
strengthening our scanty garrison
in the Philippines against the possi
bility of Japanese attack, and we
were proceeding on a course which
seemed to most observers certain to
involve us sooner or later in a war
with Japan’s ally, Germany.

OMEN today are not the first

age of floor coverings. The glow

simple hooked rug made from old
clothing began to be developed in
more elaborate designs.
Then, as now, scroll borders
around a flower motif were popu

cording to individual taste but
scroll patterns went the rounds of
neighbors who traced the patterns
on the burlap or canvas rug foun
