THE busy mother whose chill
L dren come home from school at
different hours for their noon meal
will find a boon in vegetable
chowders. These ehowders can be
kept hot and appetizing almost in
definitely, they are easily and
quickly served and good for both
older children and small first
graders"
If the chowder is made with
milk it contains large amount of
nourishment and is easily digested.
The food is not heavy or rich
enough TO produce the loggy feel
ing that frequently makes after
noon work so trying. but is nour-
ishing and stimulating to tired
young brains and growing bodies.
When a meal is planned around
a vegetable chowder, keep in mind
the necessity of serving some
other food that is very crisp.
Crisp crackers or toast sticks or
croutons are an excellent choice
because they require chewing and
also add calories TO the menu.
Radishes and celery are good
crisp lOOuS 10 uSe with IuOh uSIS
on two counts-they are crisp
foods and must be chewed and are
also appetizing raw foods general
~ available in October.
A simple salad is suitable pro-
viding a dessert hearty enough TO
take care of the necessary calories
is served. Endive. head or shred
ded leaf lettuce, cabbage, cress,
romaine, escarole and Chinese
cabbage offer a variety Of greens
which may be served with a plain
French dressing or used as the
basis for a meat. fish or egg salad.
When an egg or meat salad is
served. a simple dessert without
eggs should be chosen. Apple
sauce and ginger bread, crisp
cookies and canned or fresh fruit,
fruit Betty served with hard
sauce and fruit tapioca puddings
round out chowder luncheon sat
isfactorily.
However. when a plain green
salad is planned. rice custard pud-
dings. custard bread puddings and
desserts rich in eggs are usually
wanted.

THE entire melon family Is puf-
1 zling when you go to market
to make a selection. There are
many branches and they all have
their particular characteristics
but II seems to me that water
melon is one of the most baffling.
or course II you have a trained
ear. the time-honored practice OF
humping watermelon with your
knuckles Is a reliable test. A full
grown, ripe melon has dull muf-
fed sound when thumped. while
green one rings with a metallic
sharpness. In other words. the
ripe melon says "plunk" and the
green one says "plink."
IL you cant reply on your ear
In choosing watermelons there are
other definite qualifications to
watch for that will surely help
you. The color and condition OF
the surface of the melon should
be given special attention. II the
ander-side is pale yellow. lemon
or warm ivory color with the
skin a sort of warty roughness.
then ripeness Is indicated. A
warm, yellowish green rather than
a bright clear green on the top is
desirable. However. the variety
of the melon influences the color
TO some extent.
Here's Another Test
There's a thin. film-like coat
ing all over the surface OF q wa
termelon that Is worth noting. II
the thumb nail Is drawn across
il. the coating will peel on like
dry wax when the melon is ripe.
Although mis-shapen melons
should be avoided. the natural
shape of the fruit is OF no i'm
,portance. round or long melons
being equally good. The color OF
the seeds also Is a matter of the
variety of the melon and has lit
tie to do with the maturity Of the
fruit.
Large melons usually are more
desirable than small ones. but q

a lightweight large one.

lication of the United States George
Washington biceutennial commits
sion notes it as a date of vast i'm
portance to the United States in
their struggle for independence. On
that July day in 1880 French ar
my arrived to join the Continentals
under General Washington in the
last big push
There had been French officers
and troops III America before the
arrival of Rochambeau, but aside
from the few like Lafayette who
were attached TO Washington's ar
my as volunteers, these men were
under the command of D'Estaing at
the unfortunate siege of Savannah.
They took part in no other battle
in America.
The French alliance certainly was
an important factor in the ultimate
success OF the Americans. Under
the leadership OF George Washing
ton. with the example of his indom-
liable courage ever before them, the
Continentals and milftiamen had
waged a long, weariSome struggle
against a nation. Now they were
to be aided by powerful ally,
strong enough to help write glo-
rious finis 10 the Revolutionary war.
The plight of the Americans may
be seen from the following excerpt
from Rochambeau memoirs. After
speaking of the disaster at Savan-
nah, the Comte writes:
The unexpected result of this ex-
pedition, projected at New York, the
Ill success of an attack against Car
olina, and the depreciation of pa
per currency on the continent, pro-
duced most awful crisis in Amer
ica. She had contended by herself
against the entire forces of England
since the commencement of her
revolution. The more she had
struggled, the less able she was now
to hold out. The congress, in this
critical situation, resolved to solicit
from her ally the King OF France
further assistance, by a fresh sup
ply of naval and land forces and
money, which the latter accordingly
granted, by Immediately sending out
a squadron of seven ships to cruise
off the coast, a corps of 1000 able
troops, and a considerable supply
of specie"
Upon Rochambeau's observation
that 1000 troops made a very small
force to send so far away, the num-
Der was doubled, as was also the
effective of artillery" 1t being i'm
possible to secure enough ships for
this Rochambeau was able to en-
bark only about 5000 men.
Although Rochambeau arrived in
America in 1870 it was a year be-
fore he was able to take active part
in campaign. In the spring of
1871 he marched as far as the Hud-
son intending to cooperate with
Washington in an attempt on New
York, but without a fleet it was i'm
possible to carry out these plans.
When news arrived later that De
Grasse was on his way TO the Ches-
apeake with a formidable French
| fleet, the allies at once changed
their objective and proceeded to
yorktown.
