NOlU That Peaches Are
In Season
By BETTY CROKER

OF course you're familiar with the
regular peach pie-but have you ever
tasted that old-time favorite-a peach
cream pie? If you have not-ther
you have a real treat in store for you
Here is the recipe:
PEACH CREAM PIE
l unbaked deep 9-inch pie shell
3 medium-sized peaches
q cup sugar
tablespoons flour
] teaspoon cinnamon
q cup cream
Peel the peaches, cut in halves and
remove pits. Arrange the peach halves
in the unbaked pie shell, the rounded
side up.
Mix together the sugar, flour and
cinnamon, and sprinkle over the peach
es. Pour the cream over all.
Bake for 40 minutes, having the
oven hot, 45O degrees F., for the first
10 minutes. then reduce the heat to
$50 degrees F., moderate oven, for the
remaining 80 minutes.
Delicious as Tarts
You'll find that this peach cream
filling is delicious in individual tart
shells. Simply line 6 muffin pans or
tart shells with pastry. Place half OF
a fresh peach-or a half peach sliced
in each muffin pan. Sprinkle 1-6 of
peach half (about % tablespoons) and
pour 1-6 of the cream over 1t (about
2 tablespoons).
PASTRY
/ cup sifted all-purpose flour
! teaspoon salt
1-3 cup shortening
Ice water-2 to tablespoons
Just enough to make the dough
stay together
Sift the flour and salt together. Add
most of the shortening to the flour
cutting it in with pastry blender or
with 2 knives until the mixture looks
like meal. Then add the remaining
notwithstanding it in particles the
size of giant peas. Sprinkle water
lightly over this misunderstanding it
in until the dough can be just pressed
together into a ball.
Roll out to fit your pie pan on a
lightly Toured cloth-covered board.
Place loosely in your deep 9-inch pie
pan-leaving inch extending over the
edge of the pan. Build up your fluted
edge.
It would be a good idea to let this
pastry chill thoroughly in the pan in
the refrigerator before adding the fill
ing and baking it. Brushing the bot
tom of the pastry with egg white and
then allowing 1t to become dry will
also help the filling from soaking into
the pastry.

justices, who also handle Juvenile
cases at this time, might sit in a
Juvenile Court If one is created. To
authorize such procedure would be
only a half-hearted attempt to mod
ernize the countys method Of deal
ing with juvenile offenders. The
experience Of Montgomery County
and Of many other communities
indicates that a large, fast-growing
jurisdiction such as Prince Georges,
needs the better atmosphere which a
Juvenile Court gives to those who
have offended society at an early age.
Such court will fulfill it's purpose
best If presided over by an inde-
pendent Judge able to devote ample

Housing Needs

President Roosevelt is concerned,
and rightly so, with the need of con-
tinuing and expanding the program
Of the United States Housing Au-
thority, especially in connection with
the national defense.
In recent conferences with con-
gressional leaders and the press he
has reiterated his desire that Con-
gress do something before it adjourns
to give the U. S. H. A. additional
lending capital to help alleviate the
acute shortage of decent housing for
low-income families. In normal
peace times the administration set
the seal of its approval on the public
housing and Slum clearance pro-
gram. Now, with plans being rushed
to expand the military personnel and
speed up the wheels of industry to
turn out the needed implements of
defense, a co-ordinated housing pro-
gram is even more necessary than
before.
President Roosevelt said at his
press conference last Friday that he
feels funds should be provided to
continue the program in rural as
well as in urban areas. AS an ex-
, ample. he said. establishment of new

plants in connection with the ma
tional defense program undoubtedly
would require additional housing IA
cilities in many small communities,
This expansion, he pointed out, could
well be handled through a continued
U. S. H. A. program.
Nor are the needs of factory work.
ers all that must be met at this time.
To increase the personnel of the Army
creates a housing problem for every
military post. Local and Federal
housing experts could render eff
cient service in planning this phase
of the defense needs. At present
they are insignificant, as are the
civilian requirements, compared to
the huge cantonments which q gen.
eral mobilization of Americas man
power would necessitate.
The U. S. H. A. has signed away
and contracted the 100000 900
which Congress authorized it to loan
to local communities. 1t has re-
quests pending for a billion dollars
more, indicating the widespread
need and demand. It's till is empty.
A bill providing another $8O0,00O,-
600 in loans has been pigeon -holed
in the House since last June, when
1t passed the Senate. The social and
economic values of improved housing
are recognized by Republicans in
Congress as we'll as by Democrats.
But there are differences concurred
in by some on both sides of the
House over the policies of the United
States Housing Act and the costs and
methods of financing projects. These
differences are now being ironed out
by the substitution of remedial
amendments which are said to have
the approval of President Roosevelt.
For many months officials of the
U. S. H. A. have shown every willing
ness to cooperate with critics in
Congress to reduce the housing pro-
gram to more reasonable basis.
With regard to the actual lending
capital to be authorized, they are
satisfied that half a loaf is better
than none at all.

Denounces Empty
Defense Criticism
Opponents Of Administration
Progrum Urged to Make
Constructive Suggestions

To the Editor Of The Star:
Well, the ordinary man on the street"
has again been listening to the radio and
reading papers
"Hysteria," money down the rathole I"
think Of home affairs" against whom
are we preparing?" "mongrel foreign pol
icy' ETC., ad infinitum, as the lawyers
say. Not one constructive idea in all the
criticism, and that is what is getting
tiresome!
Ye gods, are there those who still trust
that wild man, Hitler? If he signed a
aggression pact with us tomorrow,
would that stop him?
Suppose Hitler wins this war! Does
any one of these master mind" critics
know what Hitlers, next move would
be? Could we assume, for example, that
Nazi victory would not mean the end of
the British fleet and the advent of Ger
man control of the sea? And if Hitler
then made play for Russia, or the Bal
kans, or Bagdad, and even beyond, could
we assume that Nazi soldiers and tanks
wouldn't be landed in Canada? Can we
assume that Canada or Mexico wouldn't
look better TO Hitler than African COL
oniesP Are there really no jumping of"
places for Nazis in the Western Hemi-
sphere?
If some of these "wiseacres" could tell
America just when and where the ag-
gression against us would start, of course,
those in places of responsibility here
might be able to plan directly against
the known thrust; but if they do know,
they are certainly not giving the country
any light.
The average person isn't getting hys-
terical. He is becoming fearful however,
that America might be turned into an
other Belgium, Holland, Norway or Po-
land. After all, there isn't fort
between us and Mexico, nor between
us and Canada, and even if we had two
Maginot Lines there, planes and tanks
could move over or around them. 1t is
being done, we hear and read. OF course
we have 5,563 aircraft to protect these
very limited borders, and the Panama
Canal is only few hundred miles away.
Frankly. some Of us would prefer to
get some idea Of the number of Nazis
now in this country. That would relieve
our minds much more quickly than all
Of this carping criticism. Some of us
don't believe. for example, that putting
Fritz KUHN behind the bars killed of the
bund-not by long shot! And what a
beautiful opportunity for fifth column"
sabotage this country would afford!

Suggests Study Of

To the Editor Of The Star:
Every one today is more or less inter-
ested in news from abroad and particu-
larly in it's effect upon us as a Nation.
What to do about the war in Europe is
no longer an academic discussion con-
fined to points of national and interna-
tional law But 1t is dynamic issue as
important to us as any we have faced.
From the general who directs the
movements of a million men to the
corporal who leads his squad Of eight
on a scouting assignment, all military
action is based on a procedure Of logical
thought which may be found in mill
tary textbooks under the heading Of
Estimate of the Situation" In the case
of very complicated situation such as
would confront q commander Of an
army, '"The Estimate of the Situation"
would be prepared in writing after great
study. The corporal might make his
estimate mentally and in few moments.

gins with my Mission" and proceeds
in logical sequence to MY Decision" Is
the impetus for all military action.
We of America are In need Of an
Estimate of the Situation" Why not
then tear = page from our book on
military science and begin, as all able
generals must, with "Our Mission?

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Tracepell.

Many years ago three interesting books
on chess were issued, dealing with the
minor, major and grand tactics of the
game.
The premise of the author was that
chess is exactly like war, on miniature
scale, and that the same rules of battle
which apply to the latter apply to the
former
We had an interesting view recently
Of the way an animal teaches itself the
arts of animal war, or the chase, which
is much the same.
A small cat, confined to the house for
three years, suddenly was let loose.
He had never chased bird, never been
chased by dog, never fought one Of his
own kind.
The cats chief interest, from the first,
lay in catching q squirrel.
He did not pay much attention to the
birds which frequented the two feeding
stations ON the ground beneath the
maple tree.
What interested him almost solely were
the rodents.
These were bold, waggish fellows, as
most of them are, with fixed rights at
the feeding boxes along with the birds.
In fact, the squirrels, of which there
are five adults and three young ones,
probably get more sunflower seeds than
all the birds put together.
2 +
One or more Of the active rodents NAV
be seen bumped up over the seed all day
long.
These were the animals which in
stantly attracted the attention of Hops
the cat.
His name was given him on account
of his ability at suddenly leaping into
the air from standing position. Would
this feat be of any use to him in his new
activity?
The cat had to learn "how to do it,"
as far as we could see, from the first
jump; that is, instinct did him little
good.
His first idea, that of creeping up as
Slowly as possible, ne soon proved TO be
a snare and delusion.
This first of animal instincts to creep
up inch by inch, on the prey or enemy,
proved much too slow and useless, to boot
After Hops spent 10 minutes inching
up on the squirrels, to have them run
up a tree when he was at least 20 feet
from them, he changed his strategy.
His minor" tactics seemed a failure,
and he realized it,
Now he was ready for his ma jor"
tactics, as it were.
He speeded up his creeping. stopping
stock still only when the intended VIC
tim looked squarely in his own direction.
After he had gone forward no more
Evening star., 1940-05-31

than or feet In this manner, he made
. break for the squirrel, running di.
rectly at it.
At no time did he manage to get
closer than feet Of the rodent.
Now Hops showed his ability to think.
Some people say cats can't think, but
how about this? And it must be remem-
bered that this cat had not spent one
day in the open before.
Here Is what the cat did:
Instead of running directly for the
squirrel, when he made his break, Hops
ran for the tree!
He realized that the squirrel would
have to 60 up the tree in order to get
away, 50 instead Of making . straight
line for the prey itself, then 4 or feet
from the tree, the cat drew his straight
line to the tree.
This was exactly the same trick used
by Nazis in making for the French
Channel ports, to cut OIL the British Ex-
peditionary Force from taking to the
boats, rather than attacking them d.
rectly. The Germans made for the Brit
ish tree" the ports and vessels.
In the case Of Hops, this maneuver
failed.
The squirrel always made the tree
first, although now only about 2 or 3
feet ahead Of the cat.
1t must be kept in mind that squirrels
really love this play with cats. They
know they are faster, and do not seem
in the least to be afraid.
After each attack, the cat would re-
main at the feeder for q few minutes,
then withdraw, in order to give the
squirrel an opportunity to come down
again, which the rodent always did, not
really being afraid.
What would Hops do next?
We do not know whether his next
move was grand" or just major" but
at any rate here is what he did:
Instead of attacking in the open, he
sought the aid of the cover afforded by
q perennial flower border.
In this way he was able to get within
feet of the enemy before making his
dash into the open.
At the latest date, Hops was holding
steadily to this method of campaign.
He seems to be quite confident that,
in time, he will get his squirrel.
The squirrels seem equally optimistic
that he won't
As for this watcher, we are betting
on the squirrels, for we know their speed
and general all-around ability to take
care Of themselves.
Hops, you see, being quite new to the
outdoors has great deal to learn, both
as to squirrels and the minor, major and
grand tactics of squirrel catching.

BRIDGE Stutic

A radio bridge game took place
between teams of Kansas University
men at Lawrence and Wisconsin
University co-eds at Madison on a
ham" or amateur hookup. Along
about the first f1nesse static de-
veloped, and so it took an hour and
a quarter to complete the hand. The
teams seemed convinced that this
was something of a record.
Miss Gabb, secretary of the Ladies'
Afternoon Bridge Club of an uniden-
titled locality, was indignant at their
presumption. What, she said, did
these callow youngsters know about
bridge static? At her club, she in
sisted, 1t takes more preliminary
preparation to get the first rubber
under way than is required to start an
offensive on the western front. But
overlooking that, and counting only
from the play of the first card, their
record was still unchallenged. The
lead Of diamond, for instance,
reminds second hand of her nieces
engagement and involves a lengthy
discussion. When dummy goes down,
she insists on seeing declarer's hand
for a criticism of the bidding. Just
as the first trick is taken after
eighteen minutes of snappy play, the
hostess has to tell the maid, for the
thousandth time, to take the ice
cubes out Of the refrigerator tray.
There are frequent armistices in the
hostilities to discuss absent members
or powder shiny noses.
"And If that Is not enough for us
to win by six lengths" added Miss
Gabb, "here is the clincher; the
telephone is sure to ring once or
twice, and even my reason would
totter at guessing how long it takes
to end one of these conversations" :"
