Preparedness and Lack of 1t E.
Odds against European Var
Factors For Peace :.

WASHINGTON-Our diplomats and the for
eign diplomats and the foreign correspondents
here are still betting against European war in
the next few months. But the odds have short
ened.
Factors figuring in the guessing are relative
preparedness and unpreparedness, the extent of
sentiment for preventive" war, and the
chances of an incident which might touch off
the powder keg
1t still seems impossible to discover any
statesman or other authority who doesn't believe
there will be a war within the next two years.
Chief factor making for peace in the near
future is the insistence of England in maintain
ing her policy of postponing the conflict as long
as possible and refusing to join France and Rus
sia against Germany which, it is believed,
would also mean Japan-at this time.
And again it is the consensus of internation-
al opinion based on information, that Hitler
won't be ready for another year or two.
What shortens the odds is rather convinc-
ing evidence that the French have come to be-
lieve that it would be safer to fight Germany
now than later, when she completes her rearm-
ament Reports that the French general staff
has reached this conclusion are commonly cred
tied here.
And there is strong suspicion that Soviet
Russia has also become sold on the preventive
war" theory.
The British still seem to hold the key They
want to carry out their big program of rearma-
nlent before letting themselves in for any hostil
tiles and they still further unprepared from
the important standpoint of the psychology of
the British people
They are definitely afraid of a German air
attack on London, which might be launched and
achieved before a defending air force could warm
up and leave the ground.
For a time, at least, British foreign policy
seems likely to aim at keeping France from
getting too close to Russia.
1t appers that Hitler when he sent his
troops into the Rhineland and denounced the Lo-
carno treaty, was certain he could get away with
it and avoid war. He has friends in England
who presumably were able to give him accur-
ate sizeup of what British reaction would be.
That explains why some international dope
Sters willing to believe that Hitlers bold

Another theory is that the NaziS hoped to
frighten France, feeling that she needed a good
scare following ratification of the Franco Russian
defense pact. But that theory assumes that Hit
Ter isn't very. bright. and there's an increasing
tendency in Washington to regard him as a very
smart man.
The Rhineland-Locarno gesture was staged
The reason, as seen in Washington, was the fact
that France secretly had asked England for a
very definite statement as to just what she would
do in case Germany invaded the dmilitarizd
Rhineland. Hitler acted before England answer

It doesn't make any difference
from which side Of the chair you
take your seat at dinner.
Yes, this Is correct. But in
creaSingly hostesses are adopting
the form of having the serving
dishes passed at the left and hav-
ing the plates also removed from
the left. The serving dishes
should always be passed at the
left of the guest. This is done
for the convenience of the guest.
Whether the plates are removed
from the right or the left doesn't
make any difference, unless there
are several glasses at the right of
the guest to suggest that the more
convenient side for the removal
Of the plates would be the left.
Passing and removing from the
left Simplifies the service-and is
easy to remember.
Correctly, the serving dishes
should be passed first to the
woman guest of honor, who is

This graciously and properly adds

Former Heads List of Seven Desirable Qualities in a GirI-CaIcium of Milk Improves Physical Fitness

edge of nutrition is one of the ma- jor contributions toward this great CT well.being.
 Perhaps 1t iS surprising to some people to learn that one of our ablest nutrition authorities, Dr. IT. 0. Sherman, has recently said that 1t is quite conceivable that in the simple matter of the daily choice and use of food lies an opportunity to build for the efficiency and hap piness of our lives and of the lives of those who are growing up under our care.
 Dr. Sherman has made many startling discoveries in his labora- tories ct Columbia University where he has patiently worked with rat families for years. Another of his recent findings which has been made public is to the effect that Q physical improvement and increased vitality results from merely increasing the proportion of milk in diet already adequate. Dr. Sherman says that the calcium of the milk was rec sponsible for the physical improve lnents. He further feels that milk plays Q more important part than any other article of food in giving the ordinary American dietary Q well balanced mineral content and that the liberal use of milk as q food not only in infancy but there- after as well, is to be strongly rec commended.

"A leading fashion magazine has recently asked college men to num- ber, in order of their importance, seven desirable qualities in Q girl vitality" scored first place in the final analysis of the rating. This and other questions of Q similar na- ture were systematically placed bee { fore . large number of men in rep- ,rescatative colleges all over the ! United Gteteg. While the magazine made no pretense of conducting a scientific survey, the overwhelming response which 1t received can cer- tainly be regarded as an authentic trend in popular opinion. It is an amazing commentary on present day standards of attractiveness that these men gave distinction. "neat- ness" and style" secondary posi- tons to vitality" while beauty rated only sixth place in the list of seven qualities.
 Perhaps in so doing these college men unconsciously reflected an ap- preciation of vigor as Q necessary basis for their own success and en- jcyment in life. Interesting, too, is the editorial comment on the pref erence shown for girls with vitality: You can do constructive things about vitality for it can't be sepa- rated from health" Surprising aS this new emphasis upon vitality and health may be, 1t might well have been anticipated in view of the spreading influence of the newer Knowledge of nutrition and the pos- abilities 1t has demonstrated for do- ing constructive things about vital- aty."

Making The Most Of Special Meat Sales
Ry GRACE WALL GRAY

Being thrifty and easy-loving housekeeperS, we have already worked out Q scheme for happy summer. To avoid heating up the Kitchen in order to have Q well- cooked meat dish, we are going to see that todays cupboard receives It's full share of hone-canned meats put up in cold or at least cool weather.
 These meats have delicious flavor. When one shops shrewdly before the preserving process, they prove a worthwhile economy, too. I shall outline how perfectly to pre-. serve the different varieties, and your faVorite cook book will tell you how to turn them into delicious recipes when you want to use them.
 The question of seasoning, of course, enters largely into the tasti- ness of your canning. Otherwise, the meats would be flat and with. out appeal. It is important to lightly scar the meat before sub- jecting 1t to the canning process. Your best results will be had if you rub the meat with blended season. ings in the proportion of one tea- spoon of salt to one of sugar before placing the meat in the frying pan. AS 1t sears, the sugar will carmelize quickly on the surface, seal Tn the juices, and also give Q much more delicious flavor than when season. ing is done later on.
 Tn the canning process, continue ous heating is essential. You should select meat in perfect condition, and remember that tho less expensive cuts are excellent material with which to work. Trim of dark-col- ored portions and all surplus of fat. If canning mutton or lamb, be sure to remove the fell. Free the meat of bones and cut into pieces suitable for the jar. Many women use biS- cult cutters to insure uniformity Of appearance.
 Pack the partially scared meat into hot jars, filling them to within one inch of the top. Add Q scant teaspoon salt to each quart jar, as well as other desired seasonings, such as chopped onion, celery leaves and bay leaf. Do not add any water. Adjust the rubbers and covers and completely seal the jars. Heat the jars under 10 pounds pres- sure in pressure cooker for one and one-half hours. Or meat may be canned in a water bath; but if so treated, 1t must be boiled for three and one-half hours.
