HURRAY! SUPPER OUTDOORS
and stop Mamma
popping up by
placing the whole
meal on the table
at once
says Dorothy Greig
OUTDOOR meals always have
something of a gala air whether
eaten on a beach miles from any
where or at home on oar own porch
or in the garden.
The trick Is to keep them simple.
Simple food, simple service that
demands little of . Mamma and per
mits her to enjoy the gayety and
relaxation, too.
One hot dish there should be, of
course, toL help keep digestions
happy. Bqt that. too. can be simple
. . . perhaps a good hot soup or an
easy-to-prepare casserole.
Here are suggestions for two
summer porch meals:
Hearty Soup
Green Salad with
French Dressing
Stuffed Eggs Cottage Cheese
Bread and Butter
Rice Pudding with
Butterscotch Cookies
Iced Tea
The Hearty Soup Is the hot dish
made this way:
Hearty 8oup
2 frankfurters (sliced)
1 teaspoon butter or bacon fat
1 can condensed bean with
bacon soup
1 can condensed pea soup
1 can milk
1 can water '
Cut the frankfurters in inch
slices and cook them in the butter

Peace Gardens
of Cleveland
Nearly Ready
Pageantry at Dedication July 30
Will Be International Half
Million May Attend.
By CAPEL McNASH
CLEVELAND, O. (UP Soil from
all the nations of the world will be
mixed as a symbol of peace at the
Cultural Gardens of Cleveland July
30. The event: an international
pageant at which the gardens are to
be dedicated to international peace
The 35 acres of gardens, 23 years
in the making, represent all the
major nationalities in the world.
The great celebration will take
place during the World Poultry Con
gress when 500,000 representatives
of many nations will be in the city.
President Roosevelt has been asked
to make the dedication to world
peace.
Planes, dirigibles, diplomats and
groups in native costume also will
take part in the festivities.
There will be 10,000 voices in a
chorus to sing the "Star-Spangled
Banner," officials of the event said.
Half Million May Attend
The dedication is expected to at
tract more than a half million per
sons Clevelanders, delegates from
svery state and from 60 foreign coun
tries. The gardens were started humbly
in 1916.
Leo Weidenthal. a . newspaperman
covering the city hall, persuaded Fred
Albcr, then parks commissioner and
John Bod-dy, then city forester, to
ostablish a Shakespeare Garden in
Rockefeller Park, which had been
jiven the city by John D. Rocke
feller. Ten years later, construction of
the Hebrew Garden was the start of
the nationality group. Since then,
:he many nationality groups in this j
:-ity which has an estimated 75 per
:ent foreign or foreign-extraction
population have sponsored gardens
of their own, and construction came
into full swing with the aid of the
WPA.
The Italian, Irish and Ukrainian
gardens are under construction now,
according to A. II. Alexander, land
scape architect for the parks depart
ment. 1
"The American Legion Garden ot
the Nations has been sent to WPA,"
he said. "The main feature of this
garden is the Monument of Peace
and this will be the site of the cen
tral ceremonies July 30."
' Groups Not Isolated
Symbolic also of peace is the uni
fication plan of paths and vistas to
join the entire group Into one sys

statues of great men of the countries
represented. The German garden,
for example, is centered about statues
of Goethe and Schiller.
The Greek Garden has been de

Easy for the Trained German Mind
By IRVIN S. COBB
YEARS ago when I was a reporter on the New York Evening: World,
the body of a young woman, expensively dressed, wa3 found in a
thicket in a lonely and remote part of Long Island, fene had been
murdered shot through the 'head. Harry Stowe of our staff, since
deceased, was the first reporter to reach the place. The body had not
been moved; and in searching about it Stowe happened upon something;
the local coroner had overlooked a scrap of discolored paper, bearing
printed and written words in German upon it.
Stowe quietly slipped the paper into his pocket and caught the
first train for town. He couldn't read German himself, so he took, his
find to the office of the German consul. There he met an elderly,
spectacled, exceedingly serious-looking under-secretary, who translated
the printed and written inscriptions for him.
Then the secretary wanted to know what it was all about. Stowe
told him, explaining that the identity of the murdered woman was still
a profound mystery that nobody could gues3 who or what she wai
He described her clothing in some detail.
"Pooh!" snorted the German. "Stupid fools that these American
policemen are! To the trained mind the whole thing is simplicity itself.
By a process of elimination and deduction it is possible to ascertain
beyond question exactly what manner of woman this was.
"Could you do it?" asked Stowe hopefully. .
"In one little minute!" said the under secretary impressively.
"Go ahead then, please, and do it," bagged Stowe.
"Very well," said the German. "My young friend, please follow
me closely. This paper shows that some woman bought at a store
in Leipsic certain small articles, kitchen utensils a breadknife, a potato
masher, a coffee-grinder. No woman in Germany, unless she was a
housewife, would buy such things. So!
"On the other hand, this woman, you tell me wore forty dollar
corsets. No woman in Germany, unless she was an actress, would
wear forty dollar corsets.
"No actress would buy common household utensils. That would
make her a housewife! No housewife would wear forty dollar coreeta.
That would make her an actress! And there ycu are!"

England transplanted to the shore of

In the Italian Gardens will be a
bust of Virgil, supported by a granite
column taken from the Roman Forum
and donated by the Italian govern

The Polish Cultural Garden was
dedicated in honor of the great com
poser, Frederick Chopin, and the Hun

Of the 25 monuments erected only
two are in honor of soldiers.
The other 23 are memorials to
