Malcomson offered to advance Ford
some capital to start his third auto
motive adventure. but stipulated that
he was to name a representative In
the management. The man he picked
was James Couzens. who by this time
was running a coal yard for Malcolm

to see that the $4,000 Malcomson had
promised to advance was not needless.
ly dissipated.
Couzens became secretary Of the
company, but to the men who worked
in the plants he really was regarded
as general marager. For 13 years he
was the business brains Of the great
est Of motor factories.
Concern Success at Once.
The company bounded into imme-
diate financial success. In its first
year it paid out $4,000 in dividends.
Couzens originally purchased Is
shares at 500 share. paying 1000
in cash er.d giving notes for the re-
mainder. He later acquired 85 addi-
tional shares and when a stock divi-
dend of 1900 per cent was declared
he came into possession of total Of
2,180 shares.
1t has been held largely due to
Couzen's keen financial administra-
ton that, up to the time the stock
of the minority shareholders was
taken over by Henry and Edsel Ford
in 1919. total dividends paid out by
the company amounted to $780,

company was organized.
Couzens sold his 2,l80 shares to the

ican," Secretary Ickes said in Wash
ington on his return from a campaign
trip
I'm the death of Senator Couzens,
the Nation has lost an outstanding
statesman and a clear-thinking and
able legislator, whose independence
meant more to him than any gift
within the power of the people.
What particularly impressed me
about Senator Couzens was the fact
that, although reputed to be the
wealthieSt man in the United states
Senate, he never hesitated to place the
welfare of his fellow Americans above
his own personal interest. As Sen.
ator his voted his conscience and not
his bank account. He was humane ana
generous, Just and understanding"
Secretary Perkins sent the following
telegram to Mrs. Couzens:
"You and your family have my
deepest sympathy. Senator Couzens
was an outstanding citizen and states
man and his death is loss to the
Nation which he served with such dis
tinction as a member Of the United
States Senate since 1922"
Other comment included:
Secretary Morgenthau-The passing
of Senator CouzenS came to me as a
tremendous personal shock. He pos
sessed an independence and a breadth
of vision that made him outstanding
in the public life of his day. His
death will be loss to his country. but
his work and influence will long re-
main.

MEAT SAUCE

1 lERE is an economical meat
sauce for spaghetti - made
from leftover cold roast - so de-
licious it will make you famous.
Prepare it before starting to cook
the spaghetti, then let it simmer
slowly for as long a time as pos
sible. The longer the cooking the
more perfect the blending of rich
flavor.
Melt in a large, deep frying
pan, tablespoons drippings, with
2 tablespoons prepared mustard.
Add 1 chopped onion, and IL
cups leftover cold roast, finely
cut. Brown slowly, stirring occa-
sionally Ito be sure the fine,
subtle blend of flavor in the mus
tard will season every particle
of meat. Then add small can of
tomato sauce, with sufficient
water to make 8 cups liquid in
all. Stir in u cup celery leaves,
cut fine, and Y cup of any left
over vegetables you may have on
hand (peas, green beans, etc.,,
though this may be omitted. Sim
mer slowly until all ingredients
are cooked into a we'll blended
sauce of unforgettable flavor.

Sounds easy but I must really

When the front door closed
after her Roy said, hugging his
mother, "You can forget the
macaroons, l just wanted to run
her off. l knew if you turned
on the oven in the kitchen she
would go. She wouldn't want to
get all heated up in that new
outfit"
II don't know whether you're
always going to be the little boy
that steals jam or a general with
keen strategy"
Just then Mary and a group of
young people came in the door.
"Roy-oh, Roy" Mary called
and then finding them brought
the crowd to the kitchen. "Say
Roy, we need another man; we
want to go over to The Downs
and dance"
Popular l call it," laughed
Roy, looking at the eager faces
of half a dozen girls and boys,
Cant find any other man and
you will suffer along with me.
Sure I'll go. I have to wait until
Nom gets dressed though. She is
going to the last half of that
program at the Woman's Club.
Phone Dad, Mary, and tell him
to drop by the club and pick
Mons up about II o'clock or
whenever the program is over"
Roy winked at Mary and she
made a wild dash for the phone
while Mrs. Hennesee was trying
to explain that she really didn't
want to go to the club tonight,
really wanted to be alone, but by
the time she had finished arguing
with Roy, Mary returned and
said Its OK. He'll be glad to
pick you up, darling. Now be a
good Mumsey and hurry, won't
you?" She lifted her mothers
chin with a graceful gesture and

nobody suspects it, and he Wor-
ries about the time that he will
have to take over the interests.
And I'd guess that he is running
around with Mary because he
likes her. That's usually guys
reason for picking a girl"
"Oh Roy" said his mother,
embarrassed. "And we quarreled
right in front of him."
What difference does that
make? I drive a car, he drives
a car; sleep in bed, he sleeps
in a bed; I wear ties, he wears

alike! So what ?"

Lillian, having found a sweet

why he is very nice" said
Helen. "He was here for dinner
and he looked just like a lot of
other boys Mary brings in now
and then"
He has two eyes, two ears,
two legs, two hands but only one
nose," said Roy, reverting to
peevish little boy tactics with his
Cousin Lillian. Then he turned
to his mother, Say, Nom, couldn't
we make up a batch of those
coconut macaroons you used to
make for me to eat afternoons
when l came home from school.
Gosh, l haven't thought of them
in years. Let's cook while we
gossip, what d'you say?"
Heaven help us; here is Mary
out with a millionaire, John out
with a club woman and you two
cooking in a kitchen"
whats wrong with that? ?"
"Oh, nothing. Well, it's nice to
have seen you. 1 must be run

gathering up her gloves, fasten-
ing her coat.
Don't go, those macaroons
won't take but a few minutes.

"And I've never even been in a

"Oh yes. 1 always fly when !

can see what John finds interest
ing. She has something, strength
in reserve, a daring. l wonder
why she divorced Jennings?
You think a man would try to
keep a woman like that. She
can't be awfully unfair; she re-
fused his alimony; said she had
enough to keep her."
The social committee was serv-
ing coffee and cakes in the
lounge after the program, and
all the women gathered there
with their husbands and escorts.
Helen and Susan went together,
neither having an escort, and the
pair created no small comment
among club members who had OBJ
served Susan and John together
so much of late.
Helen saw John first, across the
lounge, in the foyer. He was shak-
ing hands and being very pleas
ant. There was about him that
quality of being pleasant which
drew people to him in way that
few people can achieve. Nice, but
not too nice. Helen felt like rum
ming away and going home alone.
She had been loyal to John for
so many years that she felt she
should protect and defend him
even in his disloyalty to her.
What John had done had always
been right to her. She had never
asked of life anything more than
to just stand by him, and, of
course, the children.
A woman nearby was whisper
ing to her husband, Wonder if
Hennesee knows his wife has
come? Do you suppose she knows
about them?"
Helen tried not to notice that
she was causing comment. She
thought, II could run upstairs
and slip out the back and never
be noticed. He could take Susan
on home as he had planned then
I wonder if he is angry with me
for this?"
She felt as though she were 60
ing to faint. What would Johr
do? Two women, both side by
side, expecting his attention. Why
didn't Susan leave? That, at least
would be gracious.

FOOD MARKET TIPS

A good clear soup needs little to
dress it up. Croutons are always
a good choice by way of accom-
paniment. If you're tired of the
plain toasted kind, serve cheese
croutons. Cut slices of stale white
bread in small dice shapes. Dip
in melted butter. Sprinkle with
grated American or Parmesan
cheese. Bake or toast in oven un-
til golden brown. Larger bread
cubes are an excellent salad ac-
compartment.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-02-09
BISCUITS

Even for very dainty tea, bis
cults have their place. Cut with a
tiny biscuit cutter, with a pre-
served strawberry, or lump of
orange-soaked sugar baked in the
center, they make most tempting
bites. Cheese biscuits, too, fall into
the class of tea or luncheon bis
cults, delicious with fruit or vege-
table salads.

TABLE TRIBUTE

1 like to set the table with a
red and white checked cloth,
using squat red candles set in
blocks of wood, with a rail fence
built about them of pretzel sticks.
Or, candles placed in bottles with
the rail fence as a centerpiece, a
few sorts of woodsy-looking
flowers seemingly growing out
the sides. Dishware of the sim
plest, service likewise.
The menu-soup of some sort,
thick, savory and steaming up
out of a great tureen. If you're
still old-fashioned enough to pos
sess soup plates, do use 'em. With
the soup, serve toasted bread
sticks stacked rail-fence fashion
on bread plate. Split pea, navy
bean, or cream of corn soup are
the honey types.
The main course may be built
around a meat pie, a chicken pot
pie. You remember it. A fat hen
cooked several hours along with
an onion, a few whole pepper
corns, carrot perhaps, until
ready to drop from the bone. The
broth thickened with a flour and
water mixture, the diamond
shaped pieces of biscuit dough
dropped into the boiling gravy on
top of the chicken, covered.
Cooked until puffy, like dump
lings. But no peekin'.

LOOKING BACK

While Roy and Mary Hen
nesee are home from the uni
Versity over the holiday season
they discover that all is not
we'll with their parents, Helen
and John Hennesee. One eve
ming when Mary is out with a
college boy, and Mr.. Hennesee
has taken a recipe to club
woman (friend of his wife,
and apparently very much a
friend of his), their Cousin
Lillian calls and talks with
Roy and his mother while they
edo the dishes" in the kitchen.
Cousin Lillian has just told
Helen that John had taken the
friend, Susan Jennings, to the
club and informs her that the
friendship of the two is caus-
ing comment.
CHAPTER 4.
~ KNOW, there's a good deal
of talk about them," said
Helen, still calmly, "but it's all
very foolish. John isn't that kind
of man."
Roy was amazed at his moth
er's calmness, knowing exactly
how she really felt about the mat
ter, knowing that life for her had
lost its glamour. He was discov-
ering unsounded depths in his
mother - her sense of color and
words, such as calling an eve
ming ensemble by name-and
making that name Romance;
her arch and clever replies at
times. Her cultured "tongue-in-
the-cheek" attitude, despite her
lack of knowledge of worldly
things.
ANY man is that kind of
man. Helen" replied Cousin
Lillian. Honestly, there are
times when 1 think Mary knows
more about life than you do"
"I wouldn't doubt it; they teach
things in the schools these days
that I never heard Of" Helen
went ahead with the mixing of
flour and salt and sugar
Roy watched his mothers
hands and wondered why so
many women ignore hands as a
beauty asset. There was a grace
and charm to those hands mixing
that stuff in the bowl that few
women have. Generations of
gentility were there, a graceful
shaping of fingers, and, most i'm
portant of all, they showed an
inner poise that most people sell
dom gave Helen credit for.
Gee Nom! You've got pretty
hands," he commented, hoping
to change the subject.
His mother looked at him lei
surely and smiled. Roy had seen
her smile approvingly at him
that way ever since he was a
baby. Said Helen Hennesee to
her son: Its nice to know some
body notices me-" then feeling
that she had shown too much
feeling in this comment, added,
IF Mary were here she would
say, Don't say GOT"
"Who is Mary running around
with these days?"
"Oh, a nice boy named Dick.
Dick Larson, I believe"
Eyes, that's right, Larson"
agreed Roy.
mot THE Dick Larson? ?" said
Cousin Lillian, suddenly coming
to life.
That's probably right" again
agreed Roy. THE Dick Larson"
why Roy! THE Dick Larson
is heir to the Larson mine and
railroad interests. What's he do
ing running around with Mary?
You must be mistaken"

venison. By way of vegetables,
all I can seem to think of right
now is some of the dried corn,
and corn put down in brine, that
every household had, along with
Hubbard squash, great jagged
pieces, baked until tender. Rind
left on, of course. Tastes better.
But then, there's many another
vegetable that would fit into our
scheming.
If you juggle your menu a bit,
you may like to serve beans. oh,
how long it's been since I sat
down to a plate of these little
white navy beans, cooked up with
a ham bone. Or maybe a piece of
bacon. We always cooked enough,
that the next day there could go
into the oven little white pan
of the beans, with a little piece
of salt pork or bacon, and some
brown sugar to bake while the
ironing was going on.
BAKED BEANS GOOD
Which remind me, that the
main course could be built around
baked beans and brown bread,
with a good berry cobbler to
finish off. . . Funny, how once
you get to thinking about it you
get yearning for a lot of those
old-time favorites, brown betty,
cottage pudding with a buttery
hot sauce, green tomato pie. Or,
molasses pie, ever eat it? And
the old shoofiy pie. -.
