signment was with the Utopia Of the
United States of America, to which
he travelled as little child ''in a
sinking steerage hole, full of vermin
and vomit, in one of the foul ships
which at that time dumped cargoes
of bewildered immigrants on Ameri-
can soil" And, approaching these
shores, his inward eye was lit by the
vision of "the fairyland called
America" That lovely vision was
broken Immediately by reality.
The disillusionment with American
democracy was immediate and con-
tinuous. 1t continued, even when he
raised himself. as the clever slum
child can, on his wits, on his family'S
sacrifices, and the opportunities of
popular education, out of his orig
inal surroundings. To save himself
was not enough. And in that pas
sionate rebellion-"a species OF de-
fiance and revenge against the cling
ing squalors and the smugneSs of the
lucky ones"-a revolutionist was born.
Quite clearly he shows that the
flaming ambition to escape makes,
of exceptional slum children, gang
sters, predatory and unprincipled
business men, and reformers and
revolutionaries. s 1t made of Eugene
Lyons a radical journalist, fighter
with every movement to change the
existing order, a Socialist, the biog-
rapher of Sacco and Vanzetti. When
the Russian revolution broke upon
an amazed world it made of him a
Communist. 1t landed him, eventu-
ally, in the Tass News Service-the
Communist news agency. And, finally
it gave him his second assignment

went to Russia.

This. then, is judgment of Rus

Headline Folk
and What
They Do
Sir Charles Tegart Gets
Job of Calming
the Arabs.
BY LEMUEL +. PARTON.

~ TX years ago the British gov
ernment benched Sir Charles
Augustus Tegart after he had
- been dealing misery to terrorists
in Belgal for 80 years. Now they
send him again against the rampant
and riotous Arabs, who are messing
up not only Palestine, but certainly
delicately balanced equations of for
eign policy, at a time when Brittanis
is extremely touchy about such dis
turbances.
Sir Charles is parsons son and hs
married parsons daughter. A quiet
man, soft-spoken and deliberate,
never ferocious, he carried through
one of the toughest police jobs in the
world. He joined the Indian police
force in 1901. He was as ruthless as
an instalment collector in running
down his man. Those were years of
plots and conspiracies, and as ne rose
in Office his function took on broader
aspects Of allaying or overcoming
social disturbances and he disclosed
sagacity and skill In this wider reach
Of police power. All this brought him
the kings police medal in 1911, and
he has received many other decors-
tions and honors.
He was knighted in 1926 and since
1892 has been member of the Coun-
Gil of India. He was educated at the
Portora Royal School at Enniskillen
and Trinity College, Dublin. The
latter awarded him an honorary ILL., D.
in 1888
Sending Sir Charles to Palestine is
taken as an indication that Britain
is warming up a more aggressive pol
icy in the Near Fast, after quite a
spell of stalling and shadow-boxing
He is especially skilled in roofing out
conspiracies. The word from Pales-
tine is that the Arabs are not Alto
gether self-starters in the present out
break of terrorism and 1t is indicated
that thorough job of sleuthing will
precede the necessary renovating ano
the later political adjustments. Will

Pleasing The Man
Sunday Mite Diahes To
 His Special Taste
R1 CHLnE JANfIsON

By CHLOE JAMESON
 After a hearty Sunday dinner, the man may say he'll not want another bite to eat until morning but rarely does 1t turn out that way. As soon as night falls there will come a yearnine for food of some sort :. |. and lucky the woman who has in mind something that Is piquarlt and As economical as this recipe for:
 EscallOped Apples and Sausage
 Iris a dish of rare flavor and sat- isfaction, built on a foundation of cracker crumbs over which so link Sausages and sliced tart apples. First place a layer of crumbs in a but tered baking dish, then the link sausage, then peeled Sliced apples. Sprinkle with a little sugar and cin- llainon, cover the dish and bake in hot oven until apples are tender. Remove cover and let them brown, then serve at once with 8 salad of spring greens .. and you have the inankin's of the finest kind of Q Sunday night meal.
 Escalleped dishes are especially good for this purpose, since they can be prepared during the early part of the day, kept in the refrigerator until wanted, then popped into the waiting oven from which, in a few minutes, they come out piping hot and delicately drowned more tempting than the most expensive cold food.
 The backbone of the escalloped recipe is almost always crushed soda cracker crumbs, although crushed cheese wafers are sometimes used when the au gratin touch is desired. Arrange layers of crumbs and meat, fish or vegetables in the baking dish and set in the refrigerator, but do not cover the top with crumbs until just ready for baking. Buttered crumbs make these nice top crusts with the nutty flavor, but plain crumbs do very nicely, too.
 Deviled Grabs
 peyiled crab is a high treat for the masculine palate and an ideal Sunday night dish. You can make the mixture early in the day and keep 1t in the refrigerator until needed for support. An easy recipe uses a dozen crushed crackers to which you should add a cup of hot milk and two tablespoons of melted butter. Add one cup flaked crab- meat, teaspoon of Worcestershire, salt, pepper, half teaspoon minced parsley and two egg yolks. Fill crab shells, if you have them, and when ready to bake, top with a few but tered crumbs and bake in a mod

Dairy Products Best > For Sturdy Herdsmen
Cheese Principal Food of Workers in Upper Reaches
 of Alps-Mucll Neglected in United States

The life of the sturdy herdsmen in the remote upper reaches of the Alps forces them to sttbsist almost entirely on dairy products. Cheese is their principal food and quite naturally they thrive on it since 1t is rich in vitamin. A and contains twice as much protein as eggs. Only nuts, oil and very fat meats are richer in calorie content.
 Yet despite it's high nutritional value and piquant flavor 1t nas been a much neglected feod in this ceull- try until recently. The American per capita consumption is stlll only just above four pounds 2 year as compared with 10.4 pounds in Eng land and 16.1 pounds in Switzer- land. It now is being used very largely in combination with other foods, invariably with resulting i'm proveinent in their sayoriness, but 1t is still overlooked as 8 nam dish,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-23

or as natural part of the sweet or fruit dessert just before coffee.
 Name Confusing
 As with all other commodities, there is cheese and cheese. In the case of the Swiss type most general ly used here the name itself is con- fusing, as even imported Swiss" may come from Finland or any ot several European countries other than Switzerland, and there is also the American made Swiss.
 So far as the quality and flavor of swiss cheese are concerned, they depend on many factors. The arom- atic flavor of the cheese made in Switzerland is attributed largely to special chemical qualities in the Alpine soil which combine with the sunny mountain air and the ire quent Alpine rainfall to flavor the grass and herbs on which the cat tie feed. In addition to this special quality which is transmitted to the milk, the Swiss boast an ancient tradition of craftsmanship that re- suits from centuries of cheesemak- ing. Each of these factors is respon- sible in some measure for that pi- quancy in the cheese of Switzer- land that other lands have not yet been able to duplicate.
 Size Donates Quality
 The size and formation of the "holes" or eyes are good gauge of cheese quality. They develop during the process of fermentation, which Is governed chiefly by the quality of the milk and the expertness of the cheesemaker. Very large eyes indi- cate that the fermentation may have been too rapid, and very small eyes indicate that 1t was too slow or incomplete. In the best grade of cheese the eyes are regular Ill for nation and just about the size of a quarter. Contrary to popular belief, the color is of no special Signifi- canoe. Tn the Switzerland product the richer color merely indicates the cheese was made during the summer. The paler cheese is winter cheese, made while the cattle are subsisting on dry fodder.
 American housewives might well profit by the use of more cheese. Most of the dishes in which 1t is used are simple to prepare; it can be eaten very nicely with no prepar- ation and, as said before, 1t is a highly nutritious food.

'-The cat and dog method of walk ing up in the ylornjng-stretch ching first 6 leg and then an arm and gradually coming into consciolisness" Is advised by Dr. Jesse Feifing Will- lalns, professor physical education at Teachers College, Columbia. pr. Williams thinks that the reason peo- pie have alarm clocks to get them up Is hecause they dotlt so to bed the night before, and that the way to get up In the morning is to go to bed early enough. He condemns the alarm clock as 3 distinct shock to the nervous system, literally kicking the sleeper out of bed, and advocates the slower, more natural way of waking up.
 Going into this matter of proper waking up depending upon setting the proper rest, pr. Williams might have pointed out some of the things which interfere with good, sound slumber even if the sleeper does go to bed early enough. Over=eating of rich, heavy foods at late hour and the nervous tension accompanying much of our present day life are not conducive to dropping into 8 good festf,il sleep the minute the head hits the pillow. Many people have found that glass of milk be- fore retiring is one of the best aids to restful slurnber. Just on general health principles, if you have not had your full daily quart of milk, this sleep-tiine glass is advisable. For those who prefer a little spec- ial flavor to their milk drink, the following recipes are suggested:
 Egg Milk Shake

 Few grains nutmeg
