ARMY TRAINING
TO CHANGE u. s.
EATING HABITS
HEARS PREDICTION FROM
SERVICE OFFICER

A revolution in American food hab-
its and farm production will result
from the training in nutrition which
more than l 900 900 soldiers are re-
ceiving in army training
This prediction. based on experience
up to now, was made by Col. r. A.
Osmun of the army quartermaster
corps in an address before the annual
meeting of the American Dietetic as
ISOLATION.
Soldiers who lived at home on lean
meat, potatoes and coffee or on hon.
my grtts, fat pork, molasses and
little bread are now learning what life
is like with a balanced diet, Colonel
Osmun declared
Some Of the men stick to meat and
potatoes for the first few days in
camp but they soon begin wolfing
down their carrots, lettuce, beans, peas
and milk.
This nationwide lesson in nutrition
is not only good for Private Pink and
his buddies, who have maintained a
steady gain in weight and physique
since they entered the army but is
widespread educational program for
their families. he declared.
Our army is having one of the
greatest experiences of our generation
the correct feeding of 100000 to O.
100000 men three times each day."
Colonel OSmun said.
In my opinion this experience in
correct eating on such grand scale
will have a definite effect on national
eating habits and national economy
after the war;
Colonel OSmun told the dieteticians
that the trained soldiers back in civil
ian life will demand milk, fresh vege-
tables, fruits and other food for a
balanced diet and will begin develop
ing dairy herds, vegetable gardens and
fruit farms to supply nutritional de-
ficiencies in areas which now are one
crop farming districts.

on, let's get out of herer' He hurried
her across the dance floor to the door,
her tapping heels reverberating
through the enormous. dark room.
Outside in the East there was the
faint first light of dawn, and Isabelle
realized that the night was gone, all
of it.
Sunday was here. In so short a
while he would be gone, too. She'd
never see him again nor would she
hear from him. This wasn't that kind
of love. From the beginning she had
known it was to be different from
anything she had ever known before.
Happy and miserable and silent,
she rested her head against his shoul-

keyboard and swept across it. pour
ing out their torment in wild cres-
cendo of dissonant chords.
Nov I'll play that song you asked
for" he said in a smothered voice,
as the sound died away against the
distant walls. ''Sit down." He nodded
toward one of the nearby chairs.
"Sit down where l can see your face"
Obediently she sat down, her heart
pounding and her mind an ecstatic
blur, because - well, because she
didn't understand why he did and
said the things he did; she just didn't
understand him at all. But she didn't
have to understand; she didn't even
want to. She really didn't want any
thing more than she had right now.
For two hours she sat, still with
rapture, while he played. He never
spoke and his brooding eyes that so
rarely left her face, seemed not to see
her. Yet it was as if he had not so
much forgotten her as gathered her in
to his music and made her part of it.
She never once disturbed him with
praise of the melodies he sent echoing
through the vast empty room, songs
and improvisations that translated
and made clear to her his obscure
charm. This music she realized at
last, this music was why he was so
strange and exciting. This music.
bottled up inside him and crying to
get out, was his fierceness and his
detachment; it was the tenderness
that could soften his voice and the
curve of his lips when he smiled.
And it was - yet for all her under
standing she could never have under
stood this - it was the one way he
could guard her and save her from
himself; and at the same time save
himself.
The moon finally reminded him of
how long he had played. The moon
dropped behind the trees on the other
side of the lake, and the room was
lost in shadows. His hands crashed
down on the keyboard in a closing
chord and he stood up, saying: Il
didn't mean to keep you so long. I'm
sorry"

Recipe for Applesauce

- you know. if you really want
to pay back a lady who's
d asked you to dinner. you
don't just tell her you had a nice
time; you ask her how she cooked
the meat or made the dessert.
That's what really makes wom-
an happy. And if you want to
make hit with a man. you ask
him where he gets his clothes or
how he manages to keep the
grass on his lawn so green.
l guess the reason we've got
civilization and why we like
to live close together is so we
can have somebody near by to
give us little applesauce when
we do something extra-special.
I've heard one street sweeper
give a cheer to another one on
the neatness and finished look of
his work. I've heard railroad
men talk about an engineer that
never brought a train in late in
twenty years.
Yes, sir, pride in our work is
important. But what good is
pride if you haven't got some
body around to appreciate you?

together.
When they reached the Lake, the
Pavilion loomed dark and deserted
among its trees at the edge of the
water. Clement wasted no time
searching for an unlocked door or
window. He broke pane in small
window beside the entrance, opened
it, crawled in, and a moment later
swung the front door wide for her to
enter.
Clement didn't turn on the lights.
The great windows let in moonlight
by which they made their way across
the dance floor to the orchestra's dais,
where he'd left his portfolio.
MY music's in it," he said, his
voice loud in the shadowy quiet.
"My music" he repeated in lower
tone. "It's not published yet. That's
why l don't talk about it. But now,"
he laughed self-consciously, you've
even made me let you in on my one

''Play something for me, just one

the wonder of his being not only him.

only a composer but a composer who
shared his secret with her alone.

1HE smile faded from his lips, and
for a long moment he studied her up

from the moon as from some inner
radiance of her own. Finally he said:
"Have you ever been in love before?"
Lots of times" she admitted al
most apologetically, hoping he'd un-
derstand that she wasn't a tickle
person but an honest person who
couldn't be worthy of their love un-
less she told him the truth. And now
that she had told him the truth, she
had to make it complete, so she added:

caught her arms gently as if she

Suddenly his hands were crushing

der all the way home, at least almost
all the way home.
The sight of her house browsing be-
meath the steadily Frightening sky
brought Isabelle back to reality long
enough to remember she had a mother
and father. There was so little time
left she could not think about them
now. She pushed them out of her
mind with the faint hope that they
had not noted her absence and would
ask no questions when they awak-
ened.
But they were not asleep. They had
returned home a few moments after
Isabelle had left and. finding the
house empty with the front door un-
locked, they knew that Clement
Alexander must have come for her
and taken her away. Never before
had she done anything like this. If
she felt impelled to do something of
which she knew they would disap-
prove, she was almost defiantly hon.
est about it. If she could not reach
them to tell them her intentions, she
would leave a note explaining where
she was and why she had gone. Now
they did not know what to do, where
to go in search of her, They could
only sit in the living room or pace the
floor in frantic worry while the time
crawled on towards day.
lHEY did not hear Isabelle and
Clement until they were walking up
the front porch steps. Spencer Cum
mings leapt to his feet and started
toward the door. But Rosalie, run
ming to him. caught his arm and,
silently warning him not to speak,
led him to a window where they could
look out without being seen.
In profile they saw Isabelle and the
boy. Isabelle was standing on the top
step. Clement two steps below. I'm
maculate as the dawn, Isabelle was
staring down at him, the wind ruffling
her curls. pressing the chiffon of her
dress close about her body. And
Clement was looking up at her with
an expression that was all the expla-
nation her father and mother needed;
an explanation that above all others
they had prayed would be the truth.
Then he did what was to them a
strange thing: reaching up to the curl
tied in Isabelle's bow of silver rib
bon, he yanked it gently; then he
pressed it close against her head and
took his hand away.
Goodbye he said.
Goodbye She bent down as if
to kiss him. but already he had turned
and started down the steps. He did
not look back and she did not wait
to watch him 60. She ran on tiptoe
into the house and on up the staircase.
Rosalie and Spencer did not call
out to her. They remained where they
were by the window, each thinking
the same thought: They had no right
to ask her questions; whatever the
night had been, it had been beauti-
full. and it belonged to her. To her and
that boy they could hear as he walked
down the deserted street toward his
car, whistling strain of melody they
had never heard before.
But they would hear it again. and
often, lifting through his first pub
hshed song that was to be the begin
ming of his fame.
1t was haunting and elusive
strain, poignant and eager. 1t was
Isabelle as he had known her.

tiny.
But they also live, as q nation.
in a world Of other nations, with
whom they have relationships.
And in their relations with the
rest Of the world they are not
the exclusive masters Of their
destinies. A nation may, for in
stance, be committed to legiti-
mate, representative. liberal gov
eminent, and peace with all
nations. Yet it may lose all these
things without taking any action
at all, wholly through the act
of another nation, as Holland and
Norway have.
A nation may be immensely
strong and perfectly able to de-
fend itself given one set Of con-
ditions outside its own borders,
but should conditions change 1t
can find itself, without any ac-
ton whatsoever on its own part,
utterly weak and defenseless,
even when its own numbers,
arms and resources have In no
way diminished.
Britain, in 1887, was one OF the
strongest nations on earth. But
her strength lay in the presump-
ton that she had nothing to
fear from the continent Of
Europe. The presumption was
false because her leaders had
failed to understand the nature
Of the forces that were accunau-
lating In one nation on the con-
tinent, and which would, in q
very short time, bring the danger
Of national determination to her
very doors.
In q world in which there are
no restrictions on national SOW
ereignty and no police force to
prevent the use of force by single
nations, that nation is safest
which has a consistent and long
established foreign policy which
the whole world knows can be
challenged only at the risk Of war.
The United States has had, in its
history, only three consistent pol
icies: Freedom of the seas, the
Monroe Doctrine and the open
door in the Far East. ..r-
As the President pointed out,
the first of these policies Is 30

and Jefferson simply ordered
their navies to clear the seas OF
raiders on shipping, without any
consultation with Congress. We
fought the Revolutionary War.
the War of 1912 and the great
war over this issue. We avoided
many other wars while keeping
the seas free for ourselves by
having clear policy.
But in our own days We set
this policy adrift when in 1887
Congress passed the Neutrality
Act, which had the unique dis
tinction of being . one-way
pledge TO restrict our own free
dom Of action without any quid
pro quo from other powers. The
Neutrality Act was due to an error
Of thinking that in foreign policy
q nation can decide its destiny
however 1t wants 1t. The act
was only an invitation 10 be
pushed around and an invitation
to aggression.
The aggressions began very
soon. After war broke out in the
west 1t was perfectly apparent to
the American people, who are
often brighter than their Con-
gressmen, where our interests lay.

are deeply concerned over the
present peace talks with Japan.
They fear that China will be
called on to pay for the broken
pots.
There is nothing the Chinese
leaders and people desire more
than a peaceful settlement Of the
Far Eastern problem. The war
in that area was not Of their
making. In years past they did
not mind . few civil wars; they
were mild and, generally speak
ing inconsequential affairs. But
the almost continual 10-year-old
war with Japan was more than
the Chinese barsained for. IF
this state Of Affairs continues"
says the Chinese Ambassador,
I'VE shall soon be as strife ridden
and chaotic as Europe"
But there is a wide gap between
the desire for peace and seeing
their country chopped up in
order to appease Toxic. And
China's leaders fear the wind is
now blowing in that direction.
Gen. Chang Kai-shek bases
this belief on the fact that we
and the British have treated
China like 4 step-child. The COM
muniques issued after the his
toric meeting between President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill did not even mention
China. Russia got its lions share
Of attention but China was over
looked. The Chinese diplomats
fully understand that neither Of
the two Statesmen wanted to
provoke Japan ut . time when
important conversations were
going on in Toxic and in Wash
ington-when we presented the
Japanese with q choice between
the olive branch and the dagger.
But all the same, the Chinese
point out, they, too, have been
fighting the battle Of Great Brit
ain and have put many . barrier
in Japan's way by their deter
mined resistance. The Chinese
maintain that had It not been for
the stubbornness Of their armies
in the field-armies which have
been opposing the formidable
Japanese military machine vir-
tually with their bare breasts
who knows whether Japan would
not even today be in Hong Kong,
Singapore and Batavia. The
Chinese resistance has not been
as spectacular as the Russian.
But Chians's warriors have been
a heavy drain on Nippon's re-
sources.
It Is true that after Chians's
pique over the slight to his coun-
try wAs reported In Warrington,
President Roosevelt sent . mill
tAry mission-headed BY Gen.
John Masruder-to China TO look
into the situation.
The Chinese need help; there
y no question Of 1t. They have
no mechanized forces. They have
only . few bombers and An insuf-
hcient number Of pursuit planes.
But they are reeEsts. They know
1t would be dihicult for this
country TO send them artillery
and tanks. But they do expect
airplanes. A number are now in
Burma; more are on the way.
