DANGER MINIMIZED
Gideon Lyon, Star Associate Editor
Finds Island Empire Needs
Trade With America.

The danger of war between the
United States and Japan was secuted
last night by Gideon A. Lyon, associate
editor of The Evening Star, in an illus
trated lecture delivered at a smoker
given by Alpha Chapter of Delta Phi
Epsilon, professional foreign service fra
ternity, at the chapter house.
The smoker was the first Of a series
of six to be given during the next three
months at which men prominent IN
foreign affairs will speak.
Mr.. Lyon cited Japan's precarious
financial condition, as well as her vital
need to retain her silk trade with the
United States, which Is her largest Gus
toner, as the principal deterrents to
Japanese American war.
In discussing Manchuria, Mr. Lyon
outlined briefly its history and pointed
out that while Manchuria was depleted
Of its best men during the Manchus'
reign in China, native Chinese were
forbidden to migrate to Manchuria until
after 1905, when flood Of immigra-
ton occurred into the three eastern
provinces, especially from Shantung.
Thus, Mr.. Lyon said, about 90 per cent
Of the population Of Manchuria today
n Chinese.
Although Japan is in dire need Of
territory for colonies to relive the pres
sure OF 100000 surplus Inhabitants
In the island empire, the Japanese re-
fuse to colonize Manchuria, finding the
climate too severe, Mr.. Lyon declared
Complicating the entire question be-
tween China and Japan Is the threat Of
Russian communism to Japan, Mr..
Lyon asserted, and Japan's establish
ment of Manclukuo Is to create buffer
state between Soviet Russia and the
Japanese Empire.

Use Machines for
 Special Election Cost of Vote on Pr0hibi- ton Repeal in This City
 Not Yet Known

Waterbury will vote on the re- peal question by machine and the
 cost of the special election will be
 borne by the city according to ad-
 vices received to-day from the office of the secretary of state
 which is in charge of the election.
 officials in that office point to the statutes, particularly the one deal- ing with special elections, in which 1t states specifically that machines shall be used in towns and cities of population of more than 10000.
 Since Waterbury is in that cate- gory and has the machine system here, 1t appears certain that the machines will be the form used on registering this city's opinion on the repeal question. It is not known what the cost of the elec- ton will be but 1t is figured to be substantial. I Moderators. checkers and all employees usually needed in . reg ular electoion shall have to be en- gagged for the election. The voting l list as of the last election in this city will be used as the ofiicial reg ister.

RHUBARB MOUSSE
 IS A NEW ONE

RHUBARB PIE, stewed rhubart and now rhubarb mousse. The delicious, pinkish stalks are rapid ly achieving aristocracy. This fro. zen dessert has the subtility of flavor that makes people say, "How did you do it?"
 If you want to mystify them fur ther, add few cinnamon drops (red hots) in place of part of the sugar. That will intensity the color and contribute still another shade of flavor.
 Of course we all know that evaporated milk Is an essential for fine frozen desserts. Its consist. ency aids in securing smooth tex ture when the mixture freezes.
 Rhubarb Mousse. 1-2 pound rhubarb e 1-2 cups) 1-2 cup sugar

FISH INDUSTRY
 PRIZE WINNER
As Health Food Fish Is Shown to Have Bene-
 cial Results
CONTAINS IODINE

According to E. H. Cooley of the Federated Fishing Boats of America, the Fishing Industry bids fair to be adjudged the prize win ner as a producer of health foods, No other industry seems to have been accorded the universal ap- proval of scientists and investiga- tors to such a great degree as has According to MT E. H. Cooley of the industry.
 Much investigation into health foods has been made by those who are interested from a viewpoint of health-giving, and health-main- taining foods, and also much in- vestigation has been made by the culinary departments of advertis- ing agencies; the latter endeavor- ing to find advertising points for some particular products which they desire to sell to the Ameri- can public. MT Cooley says that one of the most beneficial results has been the information in re- gard to the benefits of iodine. This has lead to careful study of the diet of children, as well as adults. and the homemaker today strives to so arrange her menues that the family may receive this needed element in sufficient quantity to keep the thyroid gland in proper condition, thus maintaining physi- cal and mental health. Children in particular should be supplied with food which carries organic iodine Is that the development, both phy- slcally and mentally, will be as it should be.
 The sea is considered the source of all iodine, that which having been in the ground has, over a pe- riod of years, been leached from it, due to the rains, snows, etc, and has been swept down the rivers into the waters of the sea. Fish and other products grown in these ido- dine impregnated waters, carry as much as 200 times the quantity of iodine that Is available in the flesh of land animals or in vege- tables. It has been reported that Germany, with usual thorough ness, forbids the sale of fertilizer, except that 1t contains a necessary quantity of this element to prop erly impregnate the soil so that the vegetables which are grown thereone will have sufficien. quantity to keep her inhabitants free from the dread disease of goitre,
 The following recipe, if tried, will give q most convincing argu- ment as to why fish and seafood should become definite part of the menu in the American home. Those who live near the sea make use of this food because they are thoroughly accustomed to 1t, and yet they need 1t so much less than do those who live inland. The sea fish today are available wherever desired. Modern marketing has made 1t possible to prepare this ] food, without inconvenience oi

They are prov- ing to the satisfaction of senators and congress men that advisors to President Roosevelt hoodwinked" him as to conditions and the com- pensations paid to veterans. The pendulum of public support is now swinging in favor of the ex-servico men, the month boys, who risked all during the World war.

Coincidental with the big mass meeting here this evening of ex- service men to protest against the sweeping reductions in compensa. ton paid to veterans with service connected disabilities, comes the announcement from Washington that Connecticut's two senators, Augustine Lonergan and Frederic Walcott and Congressman Edward W. Goss are supporting the move- ment to have President Franklin D. Roosevelt reconsider many fea. lures of the Economy act.
 From all parts of the nation have come protests over the injustice ace corded to crippled veterans, men, who were wounded by shvapnel, moved down by machine gun bul- let's, gassed or bayonetted. The changes become effective July 1gt. Over 200 Waterburians have been notified of the cuts made in their compensation.

ever made, and the inhabitants of neighboring towns and villages had to assist his soldiers in finishing It.
 Our cake tastes to-day, however. fortunately run much more to quality and interesting variety than did this gigantic concoction. And almost every women is proud of her ability in making some special kind. Here are several cake recipes you may wish to have when you desire an especially nice cake, somtime.
 Angel Food Cake
 ounces flour
 12 ounces sugar
 II egg white
 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
 1 teaspoon fiavoring
 Sift the flour 4 times. Sift the sugar 4 times. Commence beating eggs on platter and gradually beat in sugar, beating continually. Sift in flour and the fiavoring. DO not stop beating until 1t is ready to go in the tin. (The last time the flour is sifted, sift cream Of tartar with it.) Bake for about forty min- utes in an angel food pan. Have heat slow until cake has baked about twenty-five minutes, then turn up the gas for about five min- utes so that cake may brown. Low CT heat and bake about ten mir1- utes longer. Invert pan until cake is cool.
 Coffee Cake
 Another so-called cake is Coffee Cake. Its name is trifie ambigu- ous, since it has neither coffee in 1t nor is it technically cake. but that is often forgotten in its popular as- sociation with cup of good coffee.
 Good coffee cakes are easy to buy, but good coffee isn't quite as easy to make. One important thing to observe in having good coffee is to see that your coffee-pot is al- ways we'll washed after using, and we'll rinsed to remove any traces of soap or stale coffee. You do this for the same reason that the grow. CTS of high qualitw coffees in Co., lom bia, South America, carefully wash the coffee-beans even before they are roasted: to insure your coffee being absolutely clean and pure when it is made. Spice Cake 1 cup sugar 3a cup butter 1 egg
 l cup sweet milk cups flour teaspoons baking powder teaspoons cinnamon A teaspoon cloves vanilla. Cream butter and sugar. add egg, milk. vanilla and then spices and baking powder sifted with flour. Beat well. Use medium sized tins and make two layers. Bake about one hour in moderate oven. For icing, butter and cream ic1ng ! is delicious.
