the phrase, "jobs in socially useful

swell. What does it mean? Some

that these projects would be, in the

That means everything today-and
generally, as far as recognizable mean
ing goes, it means nothing at all.
Then take the phrase, abilities and
talents" What is to assure the tax
payer that these untried boys and girls
have any particular abilities and tai

compelled to meet, other than that Of
being young? What tests will they
have to take? A private employer

OF seeing France as In command Of
her destiny, even though menaced by
foes, Mr.. Austin says Of that country.
To-day France has not and
cannot have q policy of her own. She
must follow either the policy Of Mos
COW or the policy of England. II
MOSCOW maintains its domination Of
the past three years, war is certain,
II the policy Of England triumphs,
there will be no war;"
These contrasting British and Rus
sian policies Mr.. Austin sees as fol.
lows: England wants to extend tho
British French-Italian agreement to
incluoe Germany, with the hope that
war In Western Europe will then b
forestalled; Russia wants q general
European war which will
leave the European nations In 4 chaos
which the Comintern will transform
into revolution"
Frances isolation, says Mr.. Austin,
has come about through her ill-ad-
vised pact with Russia That, as he
sees it, caused her to lose her allies.
From the moment she signed the
Soviet pact" he remarks, "she became
liability instead of an asset to her
associates"
You can make up your mind which
Interpretation OF the country In ques-
tion you will take. 1t seems to the
reviewer unlikely that the course of
history will be much affected by the
writings Of either observer. They are
learned men, and, we will say, sim
cere In believing that they write truth.
But If either or both had not put
down word, Is 1t probable that any
thing at all would have been changed
by the omission? OF the making Of

much reading is the beginning of q

is the following:
summarizing 16,S08 an.
swers to questionnaires sent to read
| ers the average reader is a
medium brunette married woman 25.5
years old. who has more girl children
than boys and who is supported solely
by her husband, who gets from $40 to
$50 a week and is most likely q skilled
laborer."
The reason the reviewer found this
interesting is because she has been
convinced, both from her own investi.
cations and from reasoning that mar
ried women are the supporters Of this
brand of gummy magazine trash. She
has said as much in these columns
before this and it pleased her to learn
that efforts by the publishers them
selves to identify their readers con-
firmed her findings.
Imagine If you can the woman who
answers the QUESTIONABLE, putting
down a solemn account Of her COM
plexion and husbands income for the
information of strangers, and finding
the occupation no doubt a thrilling ex-
perience. Yes, consider It, And then
be thankful that the true" publishers

UNDER THE HOG. BY Patrick Carle-

WHETHER this authors Richard
III. is acceptable historically
is debatable on many points. Chron-
iclers would probably bark and ghostly
! Shakespeare scoff at this conception
Of the king and his rule. The Avon
bard was wont to have Richard,
bloody, treacherous, even hideously
deformed. Historians, with more
reserve. intimate he had part in killing
the Prince Of Wales, Henry VI. and
Duke George in cold blood and in the
! murder OF the princes in the tower:
these and other misdeeds done for
the sake of ambition.
Mr.. Carleton apparently accepts
none OF these contentious. He is. in
fact. diametrically opposite on some
of the major scores. He grants that
the King was small in stature. but
not misshapen. He allows that he
murdered the princes. but justifes
the action. Patrick Cartoons Rich.
ard never stopped to meannesses, was
always for God and England, justice
and good.
Under the Hog" transcribes the
spirit Of the period with vigor and no
hint of vagueness. Those were times
of treachery: Lord Rivers and Queen
Elizabeth Wydvvlle conspiring against
any one for the Wydvylles; Lord Has

stories Of the King; the final Stanley

was reckoned generally as traitoring.

forth many more volumes on all
aspects Of present-day Russia.
The best general survey of Soviet
accomplishment is in the two volume
work by Beatrice and Sidney Webb:

the first clash between Fascist and

rather than the East are set forth in

ROAST DUCK
STUFFING

Here is a stuffing that is
especially delicious in roast duck
if you are among the fortunate
ones who have game shooting
friends.
RICE AND APRICOT STUFFING
For a five-pound duck use
about three cups of flaky,
cooked rice; "a pound of dried
apricots; three tablespoons but
ter; one cup chopped celery and
tops; one small onion and a
Sprig or two of parsley, chopped;
and half teaSpoonful of savory
seasoning. The rice is sure to
go on swelling inside the duck,
even if you let it expand over
hot water after cooking. So
leave plenty of room. For the
apricots, simply wash and dry
them first, then snip them into
strips with the scissors and mix
them in with the rice and sea-
Sonings.
And here is a last-minute
warning. Taste the stuffing
again to check the salt and
pepper. And whatever else you
do don't pack the stuffing into
the bird. Stuffing swells as it
cooks so give it plenty of room.
