"WE CHOOSE PEACE"

Seldom if ever has President
Roosevelt appeared to better adj
vantage than in his Chautauqua
speech last night. Seldom, if ever,
has he chosen a more important
text For notlling-not even the
depression-can equal the menace of
war, and nothing is quite SO vital to
America as peace.
Quite as he said mankind today
faces dark world.
Nor was the picture the president
painted one whit darker-more' the
pity-than the daily deluge Of facts
from the four quarters of the globe
fully warrant.
In all truth, one does not need to
be pessimist to agree with his ad-
mission that he is more concerned
and less cheerful about internation-
al world conditions than about our
immediate domestic prospects"
Against this somber background,
the president drove home two points
of supreme Importance: First, that
"peace, like charity, begins at
home" that we must set an example
of peace in our own hemisphere.
And, second, should war break out
in some other part of the world, we
must make whatever sacrifices are
necessary to keep from. being in
volved.
But, as the president quite right
ly stressed, staying out of even an
unwanted war is not always easy.
IF war breaks out again in anoth-
er continent said he, "1et us not
blink the fact that we would find
in this country thousands of Amer
leans who, seeking immediate riches
FOOLS gold-would attempt to
break down or evade our neutrality.
"They would tell you-and, un-
fortunately. their views would get
wide publicity-that if they could
produce and ship this and that to
belligerent nations. the unemployed
of America would all find work.
They would tell you that if they
could extend credit to warning ma
tions that credit would be used in
the United States to build homes and
factories and pay our debts. They
would tell you that America once
more would capture the trade of the
world"
1t would be hard to resist that
clamor, the president reminded.
| Congress would be importuned to re-
| peal any neutrality laws that stood
in the way. 1t would take presi-
/ dent with an uncommon backbone,
vision and leadership to withstand
the pressure That, plus the most
intelligent public opinion.
! And so in the final an31ySiS the
president put the issue squarely
where it largely belongs-up to the
American people. ''If," he said, 1--WE
face the choice of profits or peace,
the nation will answer-must an
swer-'we choose peace! e'!"-Colum-
bus Citizen, August Is.

Is it necessary tc keep Crlsco,
nadyonnaise, and mustard IN the
refrigerator?
Most fats should be stored in
refrigerator, but Crisco does not
require cold temperatures. May
onnaise made with egg and oil will
kee) much better if it is stored in
refrigerator. Mustard should be
kept in a cool, dry place and in
many homes the refrigerator is the
only place which answers this re-
quirement, cupboards being so
warm that mustard drys out COO
readily.
Is it necessary to soak cucumbers
In iced salt Water before using
them IN salad?
Cucumbers do not require soak
ing at all. They may be sliced and
served in salad without peeling,
but are best when thoroughly
chilled.
What is meant by folding egg
Whites into cake batter? Is any of
the aUhite left in the batter or is it
thoroughly mi1ed!
When folding egg whites into a
cake batter, it is generally conced.
ed that thorough mixing gives a
more even texture. However, egg
whites should not be beaten in, but
gently folded until the mixture is
smooth.
How long does 1t take to cook
syrup for frosting? What is meant
By thread or soft bali stage?
The most accurate way to Judge
stages in syrup cooking is to use a
candy thermometer. When the
temperature reaches 236 degrees to
240 degrees, the boiling syrup whea
dropped into cold water will form
a soft mass which may be made
into ball very easily. The thread
spinning stage is the same thing,
approximately 238 degrees. Either
testing Or using a thermometer is
the most accurate way to check
whether or not the syrup is done
for frostings or candy.
Do you haze recipe for rich
chocolate flavored Hungarian cake
frosting made With butter?
Hungarian Chocolate Frosting and
Filling
A eo,,arae chocolate rrf IN y,ieres
Tbsp hot water
eggs. well beaten
c. confectioner's sugar
"a c. butter washed in cold water to rs-
move salt
Melt chocolate in 1ouble boiler,
add hot water, and blend. Add
eggs and sugar. Remove from fire,
but allow mixture to stand over hot
water, stirring constantly until it
is slightly thickened g minutes).
Cool quickly to lukewarm. Add
butter, 2 tablespoons at time,
stirring and blending after each
addition. Makes enough filling and
frosting to cover tops and sides OF
three 9-inch layers.
sThis filling may be kept in an
automatic refrigerator until need
ed. 1t can then be spread on cake
layers that are slightly warm. This
will soften the filling SO that it will
snrpad easily. o

make Tne Trail OF the Lonesome
Pine"-in color.
You're crazy" his friends and
enemies alike told him. Box-office
managers are still recuperating from
the money tornado that hit them
when THE Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" came to town, and every studio
in Hollywood is now planning SINH
lar outdoor color epic.
His own, or another's, failure has
yet to feaze the ever-optimistic Mr..
Wanger. During his % years as stage
and movie producer, he has been
thrown out of important jobs un-
countable times; he has been involved
in expensive lawsuits with various
studios, but he has always bobbed up
again smiling-and usually with the
studio with which he fought.
WANGER was the only movie mo-
gul willing to take chance on
Charles Boyer-with Claudette COL
bert in Private Worlds that
disillusioned actor was ready to quit
Hollywood to return to France. To-
day, Boyer is the prize leading man.
An example of the producers natu-
raj gift for picking potential movie
material is contained in a telegram
he sent an agent in New York sew
eral years ago, asking him to sign
up a bunch of unknowns. The hrst
three names on the list were Katha-
rine Hepburn, Margaret SULLIVAN and
Henry Fonda!
Many of the stars now earning lat
fees in Hollywood owe their film de-
butts to Wanger's insistence, in the
teeth of tremendous opposition, on
employing Broadway stage artists in
his productions while he was gen.
eral manager of the Paramount Long
Island studios-among them Clau-
dette Colbert, Miriam Hopkins, Frank
Morgan. Ginger Rogers, Herbert Mar
shall and the Marx brothers.
For a little manor even a large
one-Wanger specializes in big ges-
lures and big expenditure. Nothing
is too costly to satisfy his desire of
the moment, from a personal or bust-
ness point of view.
Two years ago, four days before
December IS. he suddenly decided
he wanted to be in New York Christ
mas. At the time he was preparing
story by P. J. Wolfson and Allen
Rivkin for his next production. KILL
ing two obstacles with one impulse,
he hired a private plane and brought
the writers with him to New York
(their story, incidentally, was never
used).
Wanger is one of the few film pro-
ducers who speak the American Ian
guage without foreign accent-and
one of the still more exclusive group
whose education progressed beyond
public school,
RORN in San Francisco July IL,

"Three Men on a
Horse" Starts Weeks
Run on May 10.

A LEX YOKEL'S production OF
Three Men on a Horse" by John
Cecil Holm and George Abbott, which
opened here last season and then. in
January. 1885, went on to New York
to become the most successful and
popular American comedy in years,
returns to Washington May 10 to
open one-week engagement at the
National Theater.
The play, from the third night of
its Manhattan engagement, has con-
tinued to play to capacity audiences
Last March the Chicago company
opened and has played a record
breaking run there; third produc-
ton is current in Philadelphia; a
fourth is on tour Of cities in the West;
a fifth production is one of the reign
ing hits of London, and a sixth COM
pany is playing a successful run in
Sydney, Australia.
The chief recommendation for
"Three Men on a Horse" is the
originality OF its plot idea and the
frequent clever twists the action takes
without violation Of the rules Of prob
ability. The tale concerns one Erwin
Trowbridge, greeting-card verse writer,
who has lunches on the horses, pick
ing winners constantly, but never bet
ting for fear it will break the charm.
He inadvertently becomes entangled
with trio of race track touts-offers

Owen Martin, Harry Davenport, Mary
Loane, Saul z. Martell, William Foran
Grandon Rhodes, Eleanor Audley,
Spencer Fleming, Chandos Sweet
Harold Grau, Marjorie Jarecki, Leigh

The production has been staged
under the direction of George Abbott
and the settings are by Boris Aronson.
