A Book a Day
Finds Anti-Semitism
Has Economic Cause
BY BRUCE CATION

Robert Gessner makes an earnest
and intelligent attempt to dig out
the fundamental cause OF anti
Semitism in his new book, Some Of
My Best Friends Are Jews" (Farrar
and Rinehart: 93).
Born in q friendly little city in
Michigan, Mr.. Gessner was hardly
aware that there was such q thing
as anti-Semitism until he was o
grown man. When he discovered
1t, he was puzzled; and he set
out, at last, to travel to England.
France, Germany, Poland. Russia,
and Palestine, to learn what 1t was
like and what caused 1t.
He learned much, to begin with,
about the comparative status Of
Jews. The American middle west
ern Jew, he found, Is better of
than the Jew in New York. The
New York Jew Is better of than
the London Jew-who Is luckier
than the Paris Jew, who u infln-
itely luckier than the German
Jew, who, amazingly enough, Is
far better OF than his brother In
Poland.
Mr.. 0essner was disappointed in
Palestine. where he found q blind
nationalism rising to create q new
problem In place of the one II was
designed to end. And he was pro-
foundry impressed by Russia,
where he found Jews living under
no discrimination at all-and, as
q byproduct. losing what might be
called their Jewishnessl
And his conclusion, after much
research, is simply this: that anti
eemitism Il due. always, TO eco
nomic competition and exploita-
ton. Remove the economis cause
and anti-eemitism vanishes. Fail
TO remove Il and nothing else will
J do the trick.

The recent air tragedies which have
taken such a toll in human lives in this
country coupled with the news from Eng
land that airplane factories over there
are humming night and day centers con-
siderable attention on the air. The series
of crashes and plane disappearance in
the United States doesn't seem to have
any end. Airlines must feel the effects
of such disasters, too, in decreased pas
senger lists. It only goes to prove that
the mysteries of air flying when visibility
is poor have not been completely or sue
cessfully solved. Meanwhile in England

England shortly expects to launch a

Selected Poem
THE VILLAGE DOCTOR

chilly B. Cooper in the New York sun)
He drove an ancient cart about the streets
OF Prairieville; Q chunky, dappled mare
Between the shafts. He made his daily calls
With bag in hand; attending to the needs
OF all the village. In the winter time
He nailed oak runners to the cart and tied
bell on Betsy's harness, and set out
In falling snow to make his morning rounds,
All doors were opened widely to his knock;
Hearty his greeting to the young and old;
Gentle his Anger on the fragile pulse;
And deity he handled tender lives. newborn
In rooms where lowered blinds obscured the sun
He held both life and death In either palm;
And with devoted and courageous heart
Faced tasks that were the village doctors part.

Pleasing
 The Man
BY CHLOE JAMESON

With pumpkin pies and turkeys in the distance for day or two, we find ourselves back to the salad problem.
 In food history 'tis said that this is one course men will dodge, if given half a chance. A plain, uninteresting salad may be waved away without even an excuse; it takes something trtfle artistic to tempt the man who makes up his mind he doesn't want any greens"
 Well, then, how is this one-a good harvest member that is in- expensive and just as good after Halloween as on that very day:
 Apple Grape Salad
 Core and scoop out juicy red apples; sprinkle meat and inside of shells with lemon juice to pre- serve whiteness. Chop the apple meat and mix with plenty of seedless grapes, but in halves; add small dice of nippy cheese and blend with a mild cream mayon- naise. Stuff apples, sprinkle grated nuts over the top and serve on crisp lettuce leaves as com- bined salad and dessert course fol- lowing a substantial meal.

Eggs "as eggs" appear often on almost every menu. Usually they are thought of as 8 breakfast food but they may be used as the main course for luncheon or a simple din- ner.
 Eggs are a boon to the family of two which has difiiculty in finding cuts of meat and fish which can be used without waste. The conscien- tious menu maker need have no scruples in serving eggs in place of meat or fish, for they are compar- able in nutritive value.
 In arranging children's diets, it is necessary to plan growth promot- ing substance. Eggs are an excel lent food and besides valuable pro- tein, supply other substances neces- sary for growth. The yolk is the richest part and because 1t does supply needed nutrients is put into the diet of babies early in life. Mary Swartz Rose of Columbia University states, Next to milk, eggs are the most important protein bearing food in the diet of the growing hcild." The iron of egg is a signif- icant source for the diet. Eggs also contain calcium and phosphorus

and are good sources of many vit- amins.
 In preparing eggs it is wise to cook them at a low temperature. Even the boiling point of water is high enough to toughen the white of the egg. The curdling of mix lures containing egg is due to over- cooking.
 Individual earthen egg dishe9 which can be procured and used for baked eggs are quite an asset to the modern kitchen. One of the pret- tiest egg dishes made in these tiny cups is prepared by allowing ha.f can of chopped pimiento for each two eggs. The pimiento is heated in bit of butter, put into a dish, and the fresh egg with dash of salt and two tablespoons of cream is slid on top of the pimiento mixture. This can bee baked in an oven or if it is put under a broiler the egg can be covered with some bread crumbs and dotted with butter.
 Here is delicious way of prepar- ing a special dish of scrambled eggs for three people: Bread five eggs in bowl, beat with one teaspoon ot salt and little pepper, add one cup of milk and beat little longer. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a hot saucepan, pour in the mixture and stir. Serve on hot toast as soon as it is cooked through.
 Still another good recipe is this for LyonnaiSe Eggs:
 l chopped onion
 2 tablespoons butter
 tablespoon flour
 # cup bread or cracker crumbs
 1k cups milk
 Salt and pepper to taste
 eggs
 Cook the onion in butter for ter minutes. Add four and cook until the mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the milk and cook three minutes, stir ring constantly Season with salt and pepper. Pour this sauce into a deep, hot baking dish and carefully break into 1t the six eggs. Cover the eggs with the cracker or bread crumbs and bake in a moderate oven until eggs are set.

Shepherds Pie With New Topping

Here's an old favorite with an interesting new topping-Shepherd's Pie With Sweet Potato Crust!
 For these wintry days, Shep- herds Pie is a good substantial luncheon or supper dish that is both easy and economical to prepare, since 1t utilizes left-overs. The Sweet Potato Crust is particularly nourishing, for irradiated evapo- rated milk which Is whipped into the mashed sweet potatoes to give the creamy flavor and fluffiness, also provides whole milk minerals plus an extra amount of the need ed vitamin D. Next time you have roaSt left over, try this recipe for Shepherds Pie with Sweet Potato Crust.
 Shepherds Pie With Sweet
 Potato Crust
 ...e medium sweet potatoes .. ....
 l-3 cup irradiated evaporated milk, and
 i-3 cup water from potatoes, mixed
 2 tbsp. fat
 2 cups leftover roast
 2 tbsp. flour
 2 cups hot water
 Ealt and pepper
 Pare potatoes. Cut into quarters or eights and boil in only enough salted water to prevent scorching When tender, drain and mash. Add enough diluted milk to moisten. Beat until light and fluffy. Melt fat (fct from roast gives an excellent flcvor). Cut meat in large pieces and add to hot fat. Sprinkle with the flour. Stir to blend well. Add water and cook slowly until gravy thickens slightly. Pour into bak- ing dish. Drop mashed potato by spoonfuls over the top, or press through a pastry tube. Set in mod- crate oven to brown top. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
 Shepherds Pie, although plain food, can be made quite dressy if the topping is pressed through a pastry tube. Or it can be made most attractive if prepared in indi- vidual caSseroles. But no matter how it is served, Shepherds Pie with Sweet Potato Crust is humble pie that will be eaten with gusto!

The indolent woman, find, is often so through intertia due to some quite superficial physical cause. When tn sis true there is 9 simple program of living which will restore her to normal health.
 My endeavor is always to stim- ulate interest in physical activity, preferably out of doors. Often I reorganize the entire eating habits of the client, so that her diet will include a high percentage of those vitality making foods the fresh fruits and vegetables of the bulky, juicy type such as cabbage, to- matoes, onions, spinach, mroccoli. For these clients put strict limits upon the reavy foods which clog the system and make even the most industrious person feel sluggish and earthbound. I pre- scribe the lighter meats, including fish, and give them number of tempting suggestions that will make their beauty menus seem attrac- tive instead of prohibitive.
 There is one very wholesome meat dish which have recom- mended to many who are not fond of a strict fruit and vegetable pro- gram. It is chicken combined with pineapple in way that retains all of the meat juices.
 Chicken and Pineapple in Aspic
 This recipe can be made up early in the morning and kept for a day or two, if desired. Steam a roasting chicken until it is tender. Take from the liquor tthere should be about four cup1 of juice or aspic), cool, remove the skin and slice carefully. Arrange the meat in shallow mold or on a deep platter, alternating with sliced canned pineapple. Pour over all the cooled (but not congealed) aspic. Chill in the refrigerator Serve with thin slices of tomato and cress or parsley and a bit of mayonnaise.
 Such a meat course will keep the most ardent meat-eater happy at the table. It is light enough for an invalid, yet has a double | portion or nuLrlmenC III tHe dSEic, meat and fruit combined, with salad greens for garnishing.
 There are also reorganization plans which beauticians are. called upon to give to the highly strung woman who seems never weary is always ready to go from early morning until late at night. And here, too, diet plays an import ant part ill including rest and re- taxation.
 Again, there is the melancholy person; you would not think that a change of fare could do much for these poor souls, but often 1t is very helpful. Certain foods through accumulation, tend to de- press one and to induce inertia just as other foods, through stim- ulation, tend to lift the seeming load.
 It may be profitable for us tc stay on this subject for a time and to learn how big 8 part food plays in rebuilding both bodies and dispositions . first steps in beau- ty culture, really.
