Against Him.

French government, awditing
n1ope by Britain to conpince Hitler
OF tutility OF Sudeten demands, has
placed army and navy on Uar
basis and IS turning attention to
cipilidn defense measures Tons of
sand hare been trucked to Paris to

b. the Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept. 10.-France waited
anxiously today for Great Britain to
make a move that might convince
Adolf Hitler there was hopeless array
of force against him II he should take
steps that might precipitate a Euro
pean war.
British Ambassador Sir Neville Hen
derson's possible call on the German
Chancellor was the center Of French
attention. accompanied by the hope he
was empowered to go far enough to
leave no doubt in Hitlers mind that
Britain would back France with arms.
The press was filled with reports that
Sir Neville was authorized to deliver a
strong warning to Hitler, but there was
no official confirmation.
New Worry In Italy.
Although French Italian relations
have been relatively undisturbed dur
ing the CZechoslovak crisis, a new point
OF worry came up today when the Ital-
ian government ordered seven more
French families to evacuate properties
on the Italian side of the frontier by
October l.
Similar clearing out Of French farm
families from Italian territory took
place only last month.
Those ordered to leave now-"for the
security of Italian fortifications"-
were settled in the Mont Censis region,
while the previous orders affected the
neighborhood of 1sola. to the south.
Insist France Will Fight.
Leading French newspapers insisted
today France would fight to prevent
German invasion" Of Czechosloyakia
but suggested such invasion could be
prevented by naturalization Of the
Central European Republic reorganized
as federated state.
These newspapers. many Of which
are edited by persons close to the
government, considered both openly
and guardedly the possibility that
France miQht accent sllch A. solution

Radio and Screen Comedian
GEORGE BURNS

George Burns is the masculine half of the comic team, Burns and Allen, of the radio and screen, and in private life is the husband of Oracle Allen. Born in New York City, he made his debut at the age of 12 as the oldest of the four boy singers who crashed vaudeville with the Pee Wee Quartet. This was made possible by the attention which was directed to the four chil- dren performers at political dinner in New York at which the four split the $5 fee that was paid them for their act.
 Ten years ago, Burns teamed up with Oracle Allen for a vaudeville act for which she asked the straight questions and for which he gave the quip answers. When this did not prove entirely successful they re- sersed the routine and the act be- came instantly successful, with re- sulting radio and motion picture contracts.
 These two famous comedians make JIleI llOIllC III ldSlllOlldDlC DCNCllJ Hills, just out of Hollywood are the parents of two children, aged three and two, and are famous for their hospitality. George Burns favorite recipe is Devilled Oysters, the recipe for which is given as follows:

Pleasing The Man
Main Course For The
 Lenten Luncheon
BY CHLOE JAMESON

A Scotsman brought up" on a diet Tn which oatmeal plays a heavy part may be so accustomed to one cereal by the time he is married that he has no desire for variety. But not so with the aver age man especially ill this modern age which has produced more different types of cereals than the world has ever known.
 It is the wise home-maker, then, who takes advantage of this fact and makes her breakfast foods so varied and interesting that they are always hailed with delight. From an economy standpoint they usually yield more food values per penny than do most other foods; they're easy to prepare, quick in the cooking since the manufac- lures have put up so many of them in three minute form. These simple but rather different re- cipes are suggested for the bene- fit of men who's like a change from the usual service of plain cereal with sugar and cream, but just haven't said anything about it to the cook.
 Prune WhOlewheat Cereal
 Instead of using water in which to cook your three-minute wheat cereal, use one cup of slightly sweetened prune juice to two heap ing tablespoons of cereal for each person; add a Speck of salt and cook as usual. Garnish with a whole stewed prune and serve with cream.
 Bacon Favored Fried Mush
 Dice and try out several slices of bacon, drain from the fat and add to yellow cornmeal mush which you are preparing for friend much. Mix we'll, set aside in a mold to cool. Slice and fry for breakfast. Serve with honey or maple syrup, if desired.
 It improves most cereals to cook them in milk instead of water: adding a lump of butter also gives richness and melloWer flavor.

One of the most popular Ameri- can desserts-the fruit meringue pie used to be the hardest to make It was almost impossible to be sure of the consistency of the filling Cook it few seconds too long, and it was tough; cook it few seconds too little, and it had. to be eaten with a spoon. The modern filling made with sweetened condensed milk needs no cooking and always comes right, even in the hands of beginner cook. This magic milk produces perfect cream filling with miraculous speed and, best of all, you are always sure of five star triumph because these recipes are guaranteed failure proof.

Prunes and apricots make nice combination, but this is especially SO when they are combined on this up- side down cake. The flavor of the fruit mixes so we'll with the pastry and when whipped cream is added, it makes a dessert that will be talk ed about for weeks to come.
 Another asset of this pastry is its attractiveness. It will decorate any table and tempt the appetite of everyone. It's not difficult to make and requires only one egg. Try this recipe the first chance you get and be sure to file it, as you'll use it often: m
