 Salad molds are nourishing time savers for hot weather They are also a convenient way of using up leftovers and are easy to serve.

Pretty Wife Is
 Suing Meredith
 For Divorce Now
Home Is Up for Sale al Stony Point-Another
 Tragedy in Real Life
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. = Burgess Meredith, about whom so many kind things have been written in the past, is figuring unhappily in
 the news at the moment. The young man who has been tagged as The Hamlet of 1940" is facing divorce proceedings from his pretty wife, and already I hear his home at Stony Point, in the High Tor coun- try of the Palisades, is up for sale.
 There is quite history to this house aside from the posies that were written about it when Mer-
 edith and his bride bought it a couple of years ago. Originally it was a farm house used by Lafayette as his headquarters during the Revolutionary war It commands the rugged terrain on which the battle of Stony Point was fought.
 Not long ago I happened to be driving by the place and was in- terested to find two cannon mount ed in front of the house. This, I thought, if they were genuine Con- tinental cannon, was magnificent step towards rehabilitating La fayette's old headquarters. And so I got out of the car and walked over to have a good look at them.
 But they weren't real, and their position there was evidence of an actors theatrical imagination. They were wooden, and the paint already was beginning to chip off. I am told Meredith purchased them at some theatrical house where props for dramas and pageants are sold.

It may interest you to know that the game of croquet has taken a strange hold on the imagination of a lot of people in this section of the country. Leagues have been formed and courts are in all the parks and playground centers. ] Herbert Bayard Swope is said to be a maniac on the subject, and so 1 is Alexander Woollcott. Swope even ! has a court that is flood lighted, so he can play the game at night, and he defies anyone to call it sissy's game.
 l A tragic story is that one about Don Quinn, the radio writer. He and his wife planned for years a new home overlooking the Bay in San Francisco. And they began work on it. Finally it was complet- ed, and then, after dreaming and hoping for so much, they realized their wishes and started out to drive to San Francisco the other day. It was to be their first sum mer in their new home. But hard ly had they got on the road when like that came the screech of brakes applied too late, the grind of gears, the crash Don is now in a hospital in Chicago. His wife is dead.

camp was abandoned that stoves were
broken up and buried; blankets, cloth

in obedience to Government regula-
lions that had been in effect in the
army for years, but l remarked at the
time that it was shame that this
material couldn't be distributed to the
needy of the county.
One day last week an order came
through allowing the commander at
the Swallow Falls camp, where lot
of blankets, clothing, etc, had been
stored, to sell these articles to the
Welfare Board here for one cent each.
County and town organizations con-
tributed to the purchase fund and now

Somebody asked US this week if
there was anything we liked about
Roosevelt, never having seen anything
in The Republican favorable to that
gentleman.
Yes, there are couple Of things we
like about his policies. We like his
stand on ornaments. There is moth
ing that makes a nation have better
respect for peace than the knowledge
that possible enemy is better pre-
pared for war. Disarmament would
be all right if every nation would
agree and then do what they agree.
But as long as they don't and won't,
preparedness is a better safeguard of
peace than any other method.
We like the idea of CCC camps,
with restrictions.
We don't like, or never did-his
NRA, his unlimited spending, his re-
lief for political gain, his Supreme
Court ideas, his lack Of cooperation
with business, his interference with
private industry, his egotism, his at
tempts at control of the press, his at
tempts at control of everything, his
antagonism against anybody who hap
pens to disagree with him, his plans
for government reorganization where
by most everything would be under
executive control, his show of coopera-
ton followed by a complete aba
face on many questions, his lack of
concern in balancing the budget, his,
confidence in the general dumbness 9

leading him to believe hc'can get
