Motorists who are acquainted with
ths congestion on the Morgan road
between keyport and the grade
crossing at Morgan are in the habit
of leaving the shore fronts at a later

BY BERTHA e. SHAPLFIGH

Cooking Authority for NEA Service

Just a few things are we'll to
avoid-for instance. a combination
Of beets and tomatoes, or carrots
and tomatoes.
Try the following:
1 cup cooked green string beans,
cut in pieces.
1 cup cooked carrots. cut in cubes
or strips.
1 cup potatoes. cut in cubes.
1 cucumber, thinly sliced.
1 cup shaved raw cabbage.
1 head lettuce.
y cup French dressing.
/ hard cooked egg.
1t Is well to serve such a salad
arranging each vegetable by itself.
Then IL there Is any one which some
member OF the family does not like,
that vegetable "a be avoided.
Chop the egg and add to the
French dressing. Either put a slice
or two Of onion in the salad itself
or chop It finely and add to the
dressing.
II possible, arrange these vegeta-
bles on a platter. Place first the
lettuce. then the cabbage; on this
arrange the piles OF vegetables and
over all pour the dressing.

to let France work her will in the

have her way in the oil fields.
Apparently Germany was thus
to be condemned to industrial col
lapse and never again could ne
England's best customer. How
could this calamity to English
industry be averted? BY an enor-
nous loan to Germany. which
would enable her to Withstand
this and other blows administered
by the Western Allies to her bus
mess But what country would
make this loan?
TURN TO UNCLE SAM.
What people could be induced
to step in and save the allies from
the consequences OF their own
greed? The United States-the
American people of course. And
then came the proposition for the
billion or billion and a half loan
from America to the German
republic.
The part assigned to he
United States in any economic
conference would be to support
impossible governments and to
repair the ravages perpetrated by
the allies. The United States
would be expected and importuned
to do these things by cancelling
debts and lending more American
capital to those who never would
repay.
The business impudence Of the
proposition is almost incredible.
1t Is SO mountainous that even
Washington seems to be able to
understand its monstrosity. II

understanding It should be mp

unfit governments are sustained
only by the orders of other gov

home too weak even to collect
the taxes to pay their way, so
long will there be uncertainty

bankruptcy. All business Eu-
rope knows this. Why then does
business Europe want the
United States to come to a con-

up the money to postpone the

crash comes.
CASE OF GERMANY.
That sounds rather general.
What is the proof? The case Of
Germany. France has wanted to
get possession OF the Ruhr dis
trict which is the seat Of German
industry. England has opposed
this. Both have acted from bust
ness motives. France wanted
Ruhr coal to make her the su-
preme business power OF the con.
tinent and at the same time
wanted to ruin Germany perma-
nently. But England wishes to
restore Germany so that again
Germany would buy British goods,
become again England's best GUS
toner in Europe. While this con-
troversy arose on the Rhine an
other arose in the Near East.
England wished to get possession
of the Near Eastern oil fields and
France opposed her. Here was a
chance for a business bargain.
