table things that
will take their
minds off the
weather. Inci
dentally, by feed
ing them cool things, you’ll be keep
ing cool yourself if you learn how
to prepare dishes that don’t take
heat for cookery.
First of all, select foods that will
cook in a minimum of time. Sec
ondly, do your cooking in the cool
morning hours so that the kitchen
is not heated at the last minute.
Rely heavily upon the refrigerator
and learn to use it to the fullest ex
tent.
Serve salad plates on the hottest
■evenings, and don’t limit the meal
.to one salad. You can prepare a
meat salad, vegetable and fruit sal
ad and serve each in a dair.ty cup
of lettuce as your main course. Top
this off with cake or pie prepared
earlier in the day; or, if you wish
precede the meal with a hot cup of
bouillon that takes just a few min
utes to heat.
Here is a selection of meat salad
recipes from which to choose for
the main part of the meal. Leftover
meat is fine to use, or if desired,
cold cuts may be substituted. Be
sure to chill the ingredients, bowl,
and salad platters so that the salad
will be served as cool as possible.

in cold water. Heat stock. Add

LYNN SAYS
Keep Them Tasty: Every home
maker who wants to be known
for her salads will plan to keep
plenty of salad ingredients on
hand. These include canned
fruits and vegetables; canned
meats such as chicken, pork and
ham loaf, flaked fish, shrimp,
salmon, crabmeat, lobster and
tuna. An assortment of cheese is
excellent, as are bottled salad
dressings.
Many green salads and dress
ings gain distinction with the ad
dition of some herbs. Chervil,
thyme, basil and tarragon are
fine for a beginning. Use rose
mary, balm, etc., in fruit sal
ads.
If individual molds are not ob
tainable for the individual salads,
use muffin pans.

You can turn little cakes into

and garnishing them with straw
berries or other seasonable fruit.

and fresh, are always good and easy
to keep on hand for unexpected

HERE’S a summer dress that will
please the teen-ager. It’s made
of broadcloth in Avisco rayon,
which means that it has a lustrous
sheen. To add to these virtues,
it’s washable and inexpensive, too.
The ruffled neckline, small puffed
sleeves, and gathered skirt give it [
a pleasing softness. For helpful tips
on washing your summer clothes,
send a stamped, self-addressed en
velope to the women’s department
of this paper for your free copy of
the leaflet, “How to Wash Rayon.”

When the label is issued by the

material has gone through a series
of exacting tests. There are rigid
standards set up concerning qual
ity, color fastness, shrinkage, con
i struction strength and “launder
ability.” Test fabrics undergo ac
tual washings at the non-prodit In
stitute’s research center.
Just as a single sample of the
precise analysis, take the question
of color fading. Colored material
is exposed to the equivalent of 20
hours of direct sunlight at noon in
June. If after that gruelling test
there is even a slight loss of color

round of summer activities. She’s
wearing a white dimdl skirt and
matching bolero jacket of Avisco
spun rayon. An up-in-the-clouds

charming touch. To complete the
ensemble, there are long shorts for

JOES POWER
MEAN SECURITY
In the United States we are
concerned at the tension between
powers today which points brood
uigly toward war. We believe that
the best security against aggress
ion is preparedness and military
strength. Let us investigate this
conviction a minute and see if it
bears weight.
If national security depends on
military power we should have it
now. We have been producing
atom bombs night and day for two ■
years whose destructiveness we
are told is iuu times mat ot me
original bombs. We have the larg- ;
est navy in the world, equalling
that of all the other navies com- :
bined. We have an unequalled air !
force. Our industrial capacity is .
greater than that of any other !
country in the world. And yet we
say we are insure. Why? We are j
afraid. But why are we, the most
powerful nation on the earth,
afraid ?
It is Russia, we say. She is a
menace to world peace. Granted
that at present she is severely
weakened. Her industrial capacity
is staggering under the loss of
31,750 plants destroyed by war
and she has lost 15 million men, to
our % million. Yet we say that
potentially we will have to deal
with her when she too has the
atomic bomb.
Let us picture ourselves as Russ- 1
ians momentarily. As we look
across the water at the United
States, with her present mass of
power, if we are realistic we will
build up our power as fast as .
possible so the balance won't get
top heavy. But then she says she
will never start a war. If she con
tinues to build up her armaments
she almost invites us to make war,
because the longer we wait the
smaller are our chances of winn
ing. Her araments make us phy
chologically insecure.
And so the vicious circle goes
Both the United States and Russ
ia are fearful and preparing for
war. Where does this lead ? In any
case, preparing for war does not
lead to peace. What will break the
cycle? When will the first move
for peace come from? Surely the
weaker nation will not take the
initiative. It is up to the United
States to lay down her rifle if we
expect Russia to lay down her
penknife. Only this way can the
first move of trust be made.
And what is the alternative if
we don’t do this. Ultimely a new
conflict. But whether we win the
war or lose it we still have to live
in the same universewith Russia.
So why not begin now to adopt
the means that lead to peace. Let
us accept Russia's proposal for
I disarament. If she doesn’t mean it
J we will call her bluff, and she, not
we, will be in disgrace in the eyes
of the world.

GOVERNMENT SPENDS A
MILLION DOLLARS HUNTING
AMELIA EARHART
Emory S. Land, former chair
man of the Maritime Commission,
Wednesday told Congressmen that
the Government spent “up to one
million dollars” in the futile sea
search for Amelia Earhart.
She was lost in the Pacific in
July, 1937.
j ~ By Fr«rt»» Ain.i"Oi:S _EH
One afternoon last week 1 drop
ped in to see one of my friends,
Mary Cillway.'and discovered her
right in the midst of fixing a pic
nic lunch for her young daughter.
Well, she handed me an apron and
I helped her make sandwiches,
devil eggs and fix lemonade . . .
and pack the picnic basket. We’d
almost finished when Mary started
rummaging through the cupboards,
mumbling “where is that obi salt
cellar?” Then she said that she
never liked to take salt on a pic
nic anyway—it spilled all over the
foods—or eise was too damp to
use. 4
Well, T chuckled, picked up the
roll of waxed paper we t id been
using to wrap the picnic sand
wiches . . . and showed Mary how
to make a fool-proof container for
salt. 1 siniplv cut two square
pieces of waxed paper end sealed
three of the edges together with
a hot iron. Then 1 tided rhe con
tainer with sab — and se- 'ed the
fourth side. Into the pienic bas
ket went, salt, moisture-proof and
spill-proof until lunch time!
You know it’s surprising how
many unusual uses we housewives
find for waxed paper, isn’t it 1 For
instance: 1 always wrap candles
and leather goods in waxed paner*
before storing them for the ai
mer. This protects the care‘left
from sticking together . . . and
keeps leather goods free from
moisture, prevents harmful mil
dew, i
You probably know a dozen or
more such time and money saving
uses for waxed paper — tart if
you haven’t tried my p«t tricks, do
— you’ll be pleasi d with the re
sults!
