He seeks as friends only those who

The Cookbooklets have been pre-

ton of Ruth Berolzheimer, editor
of the popular American Woman's
Cook book and the United States
Regional Cook book. In 1886, the
Culinary Arts press was founded
by Claire S. Davidow, as a pub

was established in 1888 to do re-
search and carry through the pro-
duction of cook books.
All the material presented in the
Cookbooklets has been thoroughly

CHATTER TWELVE

As matter of fact. Cam was
more and more convinced that
Mark was the man she had seen
handcuffed to a deputy sheriff on
the train from Chicago.
How he could have been, she
didn't pretend to explain. She
couldn't forget his eyes, so differ
ent from those of the Joe Ray
mond whose pictures had appeared
in the papers. Joe's were dull,
while those of the man she had
seen were bright and sparkling
with definite character.
She was so sure she was right
and so equally sure that II was
futile anymore 10 insist on her
opinion TO kirkwood, that when
she saw Mark suddenly get up
from his table and start from
the room, she decided to follow
him without telling her companion
what she intended to do.
II was fairly easy to keep him

Evening star., 1940-09-01
by Arthur Bartlett

When war did come, it was the Germans
who first claimed to be proving the deadliness
of mosquito boats. At Dunkirk, they claimed
to have torpedoed three British destroyers
Britain, meantime, had been keeping an
eye on speedboat development - doing a lot
of experimental work but not, to her present
intense regret, building many boats. Even 50,
it was small British motorboat that slipped
into the harbor of Dakar, French West Africa,
and disabled the French battleship Richelieu
with depth charge to prevent her from
falling into the hands of the Germans.
And here in the United States? Well, if
you had asked any informed naval man a year
ago. you would have been told that it would
be at least two years before we could begin
to get into real production on a MOSQUITO
fleet The explanation of why it would take
that long would have been fawless - except
that it would have failed to take into account
a certain old American quality called initia-
tive. In this case, the initiative was supplied
principally by sixty-fve-year-o old business
man named Henry R. Sutphen
Don't bring me into the story Mr..
Sutphen begged me, when he learned that
was investigating the building Of the mosquito
fleet. Just write about the boats That is
what's important"
Yes, it is important. But it is also important,
think, in these days when people are won
dering if free America can act decisively
enough. that we should get glimpse of
American businessmen like this one in action
- using initiative and imagination, getting
things done, turning deaf ears to the skeptics
and the proIastinators and the fault finders.

d ships with motor torpedo boats and air

torpedo boats, wasn't just thinking of

near by. the moving ferryboats, tugs and.
merchantmen. we're easily imaginable as
enemy craft. What could we do to them? And
what could they do to us?
The young naval lieutenant at the wheel
smiled toleranty at my questions. Only six
years out of the Naval Academy and already
commander of his own ship - phenomenon
that could happen only in the mosquito feet
- he couldn't let himself seem too boyishly
willing to play make-believe. But his pride
in that little vessel with the Walt Disney
mosquito painted on its hull couldn't be hid
den. He opened the throttle, and the boat
leaped ahead like an unleashed Fury, her bow
just skimming the surface of the waves, lifting
a great curtain of white spray on either side
We can run rings around this stuff, he
said, waving casual hand to include all the
bigger craft. Our speed rose to around forty
knots. and we roared past stolid tug as if
she we're anchored, her crew staring at us with
mouths open. Suddenly the lieutenant turned
the wheel hard over, and my toes tried to dig
through shoe leather into the deck as the little
boat heeled like banking airplane, made a
complete circle, and began pounding into her
own wake within space of seconds. They've
got to catch us and hit us before they can
hurt us" the lieutenant said, with his half
gloating smile.
An airplane droned overhead. pointed up.
What if they were attacking us?"
He threw the wheel over again. and once
more my toes dug in as we zoomed off at a
forty -fve-d degree angle. Then hard the other
way, and my other set of toes took over the
burden. Starboard! Port! Starboard! Port,
Starboard! Port! Zigzagging at forty miles an
hour! 1t was like riding seagoing roller
coaster.

asked with grin.

and Bayonne, New Jersey, in charge of the
Elco Division, which makes motorboats and
cruisers. And ever since he rose from office
boy to general manager, back in 1903, he has
been trail blazer in the American march of
progress. He was the first boat manufacturer
to envision the possibility of stock cruisers -
yachts that could be turned out by mass
production methods; and so gave big boost
to the pleasure business by putting
cruisers within the reach of men of moderate
means. His company built the first Diesel
marine engine in this country, and the first
Diesel yacht.
Al Svbebosers
WHEN the first World War came, he demon
strated - as he is doing again now . that
that same kind of imaginative spunk which
builds business can build fighting strength.
Early in 1915, when the real menace of Ger
man submarine warfare was just dawning on
the British, representative of the British
government asked him what he thought might
oonteract it. "A lot of small, fast boats"
he said, and thus was born the idea of the
submarine chaser.
The British gave him an order, and when,
few weeks later, the Lusitania was sunk,
they asked him how fast he could turn out
subchasers. His firms plant, before the war,
had been building about half dozen boats
of that size year. We'll build one day."
he declared British builders and other expert
advisers of the Admiralty said it was impos-
sible, but the Admiralty decided to let him
try. Sutphen and his naval architect, Irwin
Chase, plunged into hectic action - and
actually built not only the promised one a.
day, but $50 boats IN exactly 448 working
days!
When the United States entered the war,
Sutphen's firm turned to making submarine
chasers for this country. And because we also
needed cargo ships, Sutphen devised way to
cut through the delay in producing those,
way to make use of the American genius for

mosquito fleet young mans service. A motor
torpedo boat is no place for brittle bones, but
it packs plenty of thrills. And the young
speed demons of the sea who command these
boats - none more than six or seven years
out of Annapolis and all picked from the de-
stroyer service. where they learned to handle
torpedoes - wouldn't swap assignments with
anybody less than an admiral.
Even their squadron commander, Lieu
tenant Earl Caldwell, one of the Navy's top
ranking torpedo experts, is only in his middle
thirties - which makes him easily the young
est commander of a fully commissioned sea-
going unit of the feet in the Navy. And he is
as enthusiastic as his junior officers But it is
only few months since his command has had
any more reality than that of Swiss Ad-
miral. There just wasn't any mosquito fleet

Cheap SEQ Power

Italy and Germany had been building motor
torpedo boats for years. 1t was one way of
getting a lot of sea power for comparatively
little money. After all, motor torpedo boat
carrying four torpedoes has half the torpedo
power of a destroyer at about one -thirtieth
of the cost. And the Italians remembered that
a lone World War torpedo boat - not to be
compared to the modern speedsters - had
been able to sink an Austrian battleship. A
few years ago, swarm of the fast little Italian
boats dashed out when a British feet was
steaming down the Mediterranean, and raced
across the bows of the big British ships, the
Italian officers standing rigidly at attention,
