The demi-tasse, formerly asso- ciated only with the most formal households, is an increasingly popu- lar feature of smart dinners and luncheons in less pretentious homes.
 Call it demi-tasse, cafe noir, or just plain after-dinner coffee, tho clear, steaming brew provides a delightful final touch to the meal.
 The custom of drinking black coffee after dinner started years ago when dinners had little regard for food balance or dietetic value. Coffee was slipped in those days to aid digestion.
 Now we are less concerned with the dietetic virtues of black coffee but it is valued as a sophisticated help to sociability.
 For the demi-tasse follow your regular method for making clear, flavorful coffee. But make it strong CT than your breakfast brew. If you ordinarily use one rounding tablespoon of coffee to a cup of water, for example, increase is to one and a half tablespoons to a cup of water.
 Serve the demi-tasse at the con- clusion of the meal, either at the table or where the guests will gather when they leave the dining room. latl
 The well appointed after dinner coffee tray will contain: dainty, small cups, after-dinner coffee spoons, the coffee pot, small sugar bowl with tongs and small pitcher of cream.
 Ordinarily, the demi-tasse is serv- ed without sugar or cream. But some people prefer a little sweet ening and cream so, for courtesy's sake, it is best to provide them.
 If you like, you may serve small confection with the deni- tasse. Assorted cream patties, fondant covered with nuts, candied fruits, small chocolate-coated can dies, candied ginger or salted nuts are all suitable. Very fresh choco- late covered creamy peppermints are also quite refreshing. Here is recipe for mocha mint patties:
 Follow usual directions for mak- ing fondant, substituting very strnog black coffee for water in re- cipe To make the Mocha Mint Patties: melt the ripened fondant over hot water. Take from fire and flavor with few drops of pep permint. Stir in two tablespoons powdered sugar for every cup of fondant. Drop from tip of the spoon onto a flat surface covered with waxed paper. When hints are firm, dip each one, with fingers halfway into melted confectioner's chocolate (kept warm over hot water). Lift onto waxed paper.

II" STEEL SALE

NEW YORK, Dec. 6 U.N.S).
without assurance that the $4,000
tons of steel from the Sixth Ave
nue. elevated lines will not become
cannon fodder in Japan or Europe.
the board of estimates today con-
firmed sale of the structure for
$50, 900 to George L. WeiSSbaum.
At the same time, it became
known that Weissbaum has taken
in, as partner, Morris L. Machlin.
who admitted that he had shipped
steel to Japan for war purposes.
Machlin is head of Machlin
Brothers, Inc, in the Bronx, and
told reporters that he had ar
arranged a $3.50 partnership with
Weissbaum, West Coast wrecker.
Weissbaum did not appear at the
meeting.
Borough President Lyon, of the
Bronx, asked if Machlin had not
shipped steel to Japan. Machiln
replied:
Yes. but that was when the
domestic market was low. The
domestic market is good now
and the Japanese have no
money"
Then, Lyons asked Machlin if
Machlin would guarantee not to
ship it abroad.
Il can promise for myself,
but I can't speak for my part
ner," Machlin replied. And if
another broker buys it, can't
be responsible for what he does"

The democratic countries have

What should be done?
THE only means by which
the democracies can save them
selves eventually is by unifying
their policies"
Its useless to think the die
tators won't last. They have
solid nations behind them. They
have control Of the press.
80 the democracies must
have better cohesion of their
policies. They must forget
peace, and prepare for war.
NEEDN'T GO TO WAR
mot that it is necessary for
them to go to war, because all
they need to do is convince the
totalitarian states that they
have developed their resources
to such an extent that the die

the relationships will be out

NEWSMAN SURVEYS EUROPE:

Prepare for War,
Morgan Says

Nobody knows what is going tc
happen in Europe-especially the
political commentators" who tell
us one day that So-and-so will oc
cur, and next day discover that it
didn't.
Such is the opinion of man
who is a political commentator"
himself, Thomas B. Morgan
famous foreign correspondent and
author of "A Reporter at the
Papal Court" who has dropped in
on Washington during a lecture
tour throughout the United States.
INTERVIEWED POPE
Morgan. only newspaper man
ever to obtain an exclusive inter
view with Pope Plus XI and for 20
years a reporter assigned to i'm
portant posts abroad, was asked
in his room in the Willard Hotel
if he agreed with predictions that
war will break out on the CONT
nent next spring.
There will be no war in the
spring. There will be war in the
spring. Who knows?" he said.
IF war comes. it may be be-
cause Germany has staged
another coup. And Germany
may not stage another coup
because Hitler has shown the
ability to await his detectives;
to select the right moment.
PREDICTIONS RICKY
$50, you see. the best basis
for dealing with European az
fairs is to deal with them as
they are noW-not as they may
be. History is not final until it
has actually happened"
Asked to describe the present
situation. Morgan said:
People must realize the es-
sential difference between the
three ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
by Hitler, Mussolini and Stain
and the democracies.
The democracies. as eXempli-
fled in the case of England, are
now under the leadership of
men with middle-class minds
like Neville Chamberlain "a
man who is so educated that he
can think of possible conse-
quences. possible alternatives, of
any problem.
ONE GOAL SOUGHT
Against him are arrayed
men of the soil like Hitler, men
whose peasant blood leads them
straight ahead to a single objec-
tive.
The totalitarian leaders are
constantly heading toward one
goal, but like pilots in sail
boat race they tack a little now
and then. They may seem to
have DETECTED from their true
course but they haven't.
Why. the dictators. if they
decide in the middle of the night
they need a few hundred thou
