NO FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS

We are unalterably opposed to our
nation becoming involved in European
conflicts. We favor the exercise of
neighborly and mediatorial influence
by our government in all efforts to
promote peace. But, in doing this, we
insist that our government pursue a
judicious policy, exercising care and
caution and a firm determination to
avoid involvement in European wars.

Baby Talk

In sending a gift to the new baby,
if YOU are not sure whether it be
girl or boy try sending an all-white
gift or a compromise = something
that has touch of blue and pink.
Blue is generally conceded to be the
standard color for boy babies and pink
for girls.
Fancy gifts are not suitable but
mothers appreciate shirts, bands and
nighties. All-wool lightweight blan
kets and plain fannelette squares are
always most welcome.
If you hold the new baby, put your
right hand under the baby's seat and
your left hand under his neck and
shoulders. That gives the baby feel
ing of complete support.
If your youngsters spurn their hot
cereal for breakfast try sprinkling a
little brown sugar and cinnamon on
top Of each steaming bowlful. Raisins
are also healthful and may make an
appeal when added to cereal.
Washington's Birthday is a good
time to let the children have a party
as the traditional emblems lend them
selves to special forms and decora-
tions. There are hatchets and cher
ries and lace paper as theme. There
may be ice cream in fancy molds and
cakes in fancy shapes.

Pantry Palaver

Now that the Lenten season is here
there is an army of meat substitutes
that may be served in combinations
that are tasty and also have health
appeal. Lent is a grand time for
trimming the figure as well as the
household budget.
Try Swiss Fondue made by mix
ing egg yolks beaten with l cup of
soft bread crumbs, 2s cup of zippy
cheese, Il tsp. mustard and "a tsp.
paprika. Then add l cup boiled rice,
u cup diced cooked celery, 2 tblsps.
chopped onions, cup hot milk, and
the A egg whites, beaten. Bake SO
minutes in slow oven in a casserole.
This is nice accompanied by creamed
vegetable, fruit or vegetable salad,
hot bread and simple dessert.
Or for another meatless meal try:
Mushrooms Maryland. Put 3 hard
cooked eggs sliced and l cup sliced,
lightly Drowned mushrooms into sa-
worry cream sauce. Pour over buttered
toast, place in shallow baking dish.
Cover with cup of peas and 2 tblsps.
chopped pimentos. Sprinkle with 4

der broiler for five minutes to brown.
A good accompaniment to this is a

CHALLENGE TO BUSINESS

A war boom running without re-
straint, and followed by the inevitable
depression, would devastate all busi-
ness. The hope in the present
situation is for improvement that is
independent of war orders and can
hold without them. If costs are kept
down and prices kept at levels which
consumers can afford to pay for
goods, the first essential to keep trade
moving will be realized. This is the
challenge to business National City
Bank, New York.

there will be one grand federation of

Flowers-Never overcrowd flowers
when arranging. A single rose in a
slender vase is more artistic than a
large bowl of flowers jammed to-
gether. A half inch should be cut
from the stem of fresh flowers each
day to preserve their lasting qualities.
AS soon as flowers are picked or
brought home from the florist they
should stand in water up to their
heads for at least an hour before ar
ranging them in vases. This long cool
drink compensates for the shock of
cutting or being out of water during
transit. Daily care will bring its own
reward.

If woolen garments are scorched in

glycerine and let it stand for several

The value of food as a source of
iron not by it's total iron content, but
by its amount of iron that can be
used by the body has been measured
by the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
They have found that molasses has
about 81 parts of usable iron per
100000 parts by weight, with beef
liver second with Sc parts, and oat-
meal third with 4.6 parts. Apricots,
raisins, and eggs, usually considered
valuable for iron, have only about
thirds, a half and third, re-
spectively as much usable iron as mo-

per 100000
Recent medical studies on nutri-

has to do with the conduct of the

from Europe charge anti-Catholic
and anti-Jewish sentiment keeps
many refugees fleeing religious
persecution from getting visas on
their passports to the United States.
One case cited is that Of a Ger
man Catholic refugee whose papers
r in order and whose application
is signed by U S. citizens worth,
collectively, over $4,000, 900. (Peo-
pie of standing must sign a refu-
gees application to guarantee that
he won't become a public charge in
this country.) This mans case has
waited for weeks; meanwhile, in
order to keep from starving he has
to spend for food the money he
had saved to buy his passage.
Angry protests at this and other
delays have been made to the state
department., but so far nothing has
been done.
One thing that keeps the storm
under the surface is the fear on
the part Of those who are protest
ing that if a row is kicked up in
the senate or the house it may lend
impetus to the smouldering move to
keep out all refugees.
