A dinner, lunch or breakfast that
lacks a sense of completeness is
like a ham sandwich without mus
tard, meat without seasoning, fish
without a tart sauce, a pie without
a flaky crust. The small things that
do big things for menus are the rel
ishes, pickles, jams and jellies,
which brings me to today's topic.
Relishes such as pickles, jellies,
conserves and preserves can supply
that sense of completeness to a meal
if you use them with a thought to
flavor affinity.
For chicken try strawberry or
plum jam. Goose calls for spiced
peach jam or apple jelly. Orange
and cherry jam or relish are tops
with bland duck. Spiced grape Jam
or gooseberry jams are "musts”
with beef just as mint or crabapple
Jelly are musts with lamb. Pair off
that golden brown ham with plum
jelly or horseradish mixed with
grape jelly. Veal needs currant or
blackberry Jam.
If you can’t get quince jelly, try
cranberry Jelly with pork. Liver will
be extra good with tomato relish.
Think of all the plate lunches and
sandwiches you are going to serve
the year ’round for lunches, snacks
and pack-up boxes. You’ll need
these:
*Bread and Butter Pickles.
(Makes 8 pints)
12 Urge cucumbers
4 onions, sliced
4 cups sugar
1 quart vinegar
5 cups water
4 teaspoons celery seed
4 teaspoons mustard seed
2 teaspoons tumeric
Cut cucumbers in y« inch slices.
Soak with onions in strong salt wa
ier ior » nours.
Combine remain
ing ingredients
and bring to a
boil. Add strained
cucumber and on
ion slices. Bring
to a boil again *
and boil 5 minutes. Pack into hot,
sterilized jars.
Concord grapes are plentiful in the
fall and make delicious jelly. You
can substitute corn syrup in this
one:
*Concord Grape Jelly.
(Makes 11 medium glasses)
4 cups Juice
1V4 cups sugar
K bottle fruit pectin
You will need about 3 pounds of
grapes for four cups of Juice. Wash
and stem grapes and crush grapes.

By LEMUEL F. PARTON
Consolidated Features—WNU Release.
NEW YORK.—It might be a good
idea to turn Glenn L. Martin
loose on this cargo plane job and let
him see what he can do. We once
, .. saw him pull
Clumsy Looking through a
Kite' Opened Eyes doubtful en
Of Public in 1912
which wasn t
nearly so good a short-end bet as
making cargo planes in a hurry.
It was at Avalon Bay, Los Ange
les, in 1912, when aviation was fasci
nating outdoor vaudeville, with its
hall mark of world destiny still hid
den. Bleriot, the French flier, had
out-stunted our lads by a flight over
the English channel.
On this golden day in 1912
there appeared at the water's
edge a clumsy looking kite, pre
cariously poised on a single
wooden pontoon. Word got
around that this Martin, who
ever he might be, was actually
going to fly this thing over to
Catalina island, 20 miles away.
Young Martin had been ramming
around with barnstorming troops,
with home-made planes, known to
fliers as a daring innovator, but
with the public in general not quite
sure of even his first name. Lin
coln Beachey, Art Smith, Si Christof
ferson, Bob Fowler and others had
found in the California skies a clear
field of operations and Martin was
one among many there, having a
good time in what seemed then a j
sport, rather than a business. At
any rate, bankers of the day so re
garded it.
He had built his Catalina Clipper
in an abandoned church, with such
material as he might come by, with
out benefit of bankers. We recall
that it had a quaint, homespun look.
It seemed that it might do almost
anything except fly. Getting ready
for the take-off, young Mai tin wasn’t
paying any attention to the skeptical
crowd. He tightened up some bolts,
put an inflated rubber tube around
his neck, and strapped a compass
around his leg. Then, to state it
precisely, he flew to Catalina.
Just in passing, when he reached
the financial, as apart from the tech
nical, stage of his operations, he
wore most elegantly tailored black
flying suits, and no more messing
around in dungarees. His flying
mates called him "Dude Martin,’’
but this get-up achieved an effect
of safe and sane conservatism and
it was not surprising that he got
backing from the bankers.
THE last time we saw Waldo
Frank was in the summer of
1939, on our terrace in the country.
It was a month or two before the
s’ America Chief ed and Mr
Interest of This Frank was
Prolific Writer Jf*flyfitrou*
bled. It was
a dead-end conversation, every way :
we turned. War was coming—of
that Mr. Frank felt sure. We would
be pulled in, and we wouldn't be
ready, either with arms or under
standing.
The mood of the conversation is
more clearly recalled than just what
Mr. Frank said. However, we do
remember that he was sad because
continental America had not shaken
loose from a dying Mediterranean
civilization and built a proud and
safe and cohesive civilization of its
own.
A short, stocky man, with a loose
tweed suit and a neat black mous
tache, he moved down a trail in
tiie dusk to a dark cave of inter
locking forest trees. The dark trail
led to Buenos Aires where he lies
today, a casualty of a war of ideas
which he has been waging for more
than 20 years.
Six Fascist thugs beat him
with the butt of a revolver, after
the Axis - inclined Argentinian
government had found him per
sona non grata.
His book, “Our America,” pub
lished in 1919, was both an exalted
declaration of faith and a disquiet
ing appraisal of our complacent and
slovenly failure to realize what the
gods had bestowed on us, and to
measure up to this endowment. In
this and many later books and mag
azine articles, he preached a some
what mystic philosophy of "The
Whole,” with such earnest faith and
plodding persistence that it is not
surprising that he carried his chal
lenge to the dangerous political front
of Argentina.
During the decades in which he
wrote nearly 40 books—he is one of
the most prolific of American writ
ers—Mr. Frank was profoundly in
terested in South America, in his
conviction that North and South
were interdependent, in their cul
tural and economic destiny. When
he first was in Argentina in 1929,
the president provided him an air
plane for his tour of the country. It
was in that year that he visited
the principal cities of South Amer
ica, on a lecture tour, appealing for
continental solidarity.
I _—
TIT" ASHINGTON.—Praise is never
* » as interesting as blame, but
: if we examine only what has hap
pened since December 7 the air
service, from top to bottom, has
dene a pretty good job. Up to De
cember 7 there may be many opin
ions. The defense of the air serv
ices, both army and navy, was that
they could not do much planning
without knowing WHAT they were
going to be called on to do until this
country became actually involved,
and the White House told them what
was wanted.
So the thing divides into three
chapters: Before Pearl Harbor, the
events of December 7 themselves,
and since December 7.
We can dismiss the period BE
FORE December 7 by admitting that
up to that time the admirals and gen
erals, as a whole, underestimated
woefully the striking power of air
planes. Up until then there was
considerable skepticism, for exam
ple, among not only our admirals
but the British, as to whether a
battleship could be sunk by air
planes. They know better now.
But the admirals and generals do
not deserve ALL the blame for what
happened before Pearl Harbor.
There was no such planning for war
as should have been done, in view
of the fact that we were so surely
drifting into it.
The success of the Japanese sur
prise attack in destroying planes on
the ground both in Hawaii and in
the Philippines is a separate chap
ter which has been fully discussed.
Mass Production Promised
But SINCE December 7 the air
services have really given a good
account of themselves. It is not
permitted to give figures, but the
number of pilots, bombardiers, gun
ners and navigators trained is ex
traordinary, and the fighting which
has been done by our planes all
over the world, including participa
tion in some of the bombing raids
over continental Europe, is some
thing of which we can be proud.
Similarly the production of
planes has more than come up
even to President Roosevelt’s
expectations. There are troubles
and bottlenecks galore, but the
plain truth is that these bottle
necks, in many instances, are
caused not by failures in those
weak links in the chain, so to
speak, but in the surprising pro
duction in OTHER links, thus
outstripping the weak links, and
turning them into bottlenecks.
When one reads of shortages ol
critical materials, one must remem
ber that there would be no shortages
if production had not exceeded ex
pectations.
Obviously, if the expectancy is 100,
and the production is 150, of any
given article, be it a ship or a plane
or a tank, some essential will be
found short. Provision had been
made for 100, not 150.

In Ten Months’ Time
A Masterful Achievement!
Production of those cargo-carry
ing airplanes, designed to overcome
the submarine menace by delivering
war supplies by air, is promised by
Henry Kaiser within ten months aft
er he gets the contract. This is
a much earlier delivery date—as
suming the contract is made—than
anyone has even speculated upon.
Before any formal proposal,
Kaiser has said to officials, he wants
to know several things, the most
important of which is—does the
government want this effort started,
and, if it does, how many planes
does it want?
There is no doubt that Kaiser
is a disturbing figure in Wash
ington. He was regarded for a
long time practically as a crank.
He had to work pretty hard to
get a hearing. The best evi
dence of the change of attitude
that has occurred is the fact
that recently, when it was an
nounced that he would speak at
a luncheon of the National Press
club, it was necessary to hang
out the SRO signs well in ad
vance.
“What we are interested in,’'
Douglass is fond of saying, "is not
how much a ship weighs, or how
much water she displaces, or any
one of half a dozen other details. |
But we are enormously interested
in how much freight she will carry,
and how long it will take her to get
from one port to another.”
He then always hastens to point
out that the arm chair strategists
must not assume that a ship which
makes 20 knots is twice as good, for
cargo delivering purposes, as one
which makes 10 knots. There are
two complications to such simple
arithmetic.
One is that the ship capable of
making 20 knots is apt to take just
as long to load, and just as long to
; unload, as the ship which can make
only 10 knots. The other is that the
[ faster a ship is the more fuel she
| consumes per mile.

Spiritual Power
The vision of spiritual power,
even as we see it in the imperfect
manifestations of human life, is
ennobling and uplifting. The rush
of courage along the perilous path
of duty is finer than the foaming
leap of the torrent from the crag.
Integrity resisting temptation
overtops the mountains in gran
deur. Love, giving and blessing
without stint, has a beauty and a
potency of which the sunlight is
but a faint and feeble image.
When we see these things they
thrill us with joy; they enlarge
and enrich our souls.—Henry Van
