Suggestions
For Sweet
Potatoes
Two Novel Recipes
Are Variation on
'Candied' Style

Sweet and white potatoes are so
different in flavor that it is rather
surprising that they have been given
the same family name. In food
value and texture they are not un-
like. and many recipes which are
appropriate for one are just as good
for the other. The same principles
apply to the cookery as those which
were discussed recently for boiling
baking and frying white potatoes.
Probably our favorite methods Of
using sweet potatoes are baking
frying and candying. The baking
period may be shorter for sweet
potatoes than for white. We always
boil them before We fry them and
generally they are parboiled before
they are candied My own favorite
method for doing this. however is
to start raw potatoes sliced into thin
slivers and then to bake them with
brown sugar or corn sirup in a
casserole for long time.
When sweet potatoes are mashed,
as they are occasionally, l like to
use pineapple juice or crushed pine
apple with its juice rather than milk,
as the pineapple flavor is particu-
larly good with that OF sweet
potato.

For the family that chooses goose

helpful to remember the following
suggestions, according to Miss Mar

triton for the University OF Mary
land Extension Service.
Both the duck and goose are fat
| birds and so it is we'll to be cautious
in adding fat to the stuffing. Gel

seasoning vegetables and among the
/ herbs, Savory, thyme, sweet mar

| good additions to the duck or goose
stuffing are dried apricots. prunes.
raisins and tart apple cubes candied
with sugar.
! Put stuffing in both the neck and
/ tail cavities but do not pack it..
/ Then. draw the skin of the neck to
| the back and fasten it with string
/ or skewers, and sew up the opening
under the tail. Tie the legs and
wings close to the body with string
that crosses at the back where the
marks will not show.
Start roasting the duck or goose
with the breast down on the rack OF
a shallow pan, without water and
without cover. Roast a five to six
pound young duck at moderate tenn

bird is very fat. prick the skin dur
ing the roasting to allow the fat to
drain out.
Slicing the breast correctly Is a
simple trick that makes for sue
cessful carving First remove the
leg and wing on the side nearest
you-just as for any other bird.
Then make deep cuts in the breast
(about two inches apart through
the skin and flesh and down to the
bone. Start these cuts at the ridge
in the middle of the breast and have
them 60 down the side at right an
giles to the ridge. Then lift out the
sections of the breast meat and you

your personal taste by adding ribbon

'Rebirfh Of Freedom

America First Rally
Vossur Head DepIores
ChurchiII-RooseveIt Pact;
Sees Huge War Toll
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated tresS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21-Dr. Henry
Noble MacCracken, president OF
Vassar College, says What our
country needs is not empire abroad,
but rebirth of freedom at home,
If government by the people Is not
to perish from the earth"
DR.. MacCracken, analyzing the
eight-point agreement signed re-
Gently by President Roosevelt and
British Prime Minister Churchill,
spoke last night at an America First
Committee rally in Carnegie Hall.
At the outset, he said he believed
the Presidents expressed intention
to keep the Nation out of war, but
added that if the United States was
committed ito the final destruction
of Nazi tyranny, that certainly
would be war;
Sees Senate Snubbed.
DR.. MacCracken said he deplored
sthe sudden and melodramatic ele-
ment in the meeting with Winston
Churchill, and the apparent at
tempt to commit our country to
what is in effect a treaty, without
the constitutional provision Of a
two-thirdS concurrence of the
United States Senate.
"The eight-point treaty is signed
officially by the British government
through its Prime Minister, and by
the President of the United States,
who under our system has no such
authority as the Prime Minister.
It is, first and last, Churchill
treaty therefore.
Continuing, he asked, IF we go
to war now, what kind of war would
1t be? About that question the
war party has left us in doubt.
Three hundred billions of dollars,
100000 men under arms, lO0,Oo0
airplanes, thousands of ships, and
an equipment so vast that we could
not make it before 1945.
40 Million Dead Seen.
But that IS the least of the cost.
1t will cost millions of American
lives, the total starvation of Eu-
rope so far as blockade can ac-
complish it, with no doubt 40,0OO,-
600 deaths from starvation, the
total destruction of European cities
by bombing, the exhaustion of world
resources in oil and metals to ac-
complish this.
And in the meantime, what OF
us? How much democracy will be
left in these United States, when
for five years we have, like Ger
many, become a militarized state?
- ."
He asked if this Nation could
win such a war, and if it could
sis it we'll that we should win it?"
1--WE had a President once who
prayed for peace without victory,
he said. Il confess myself to be
of Wilson's mind. For I do not see
how such a victory could leave us
with any idealism to carry out the
points of the sea treaty. Instead
we should be an empire, either a
part of the British empire, as some
would have us be, or an Amer
,csn-world empire, the old inde-
pendent United States forever
gone"
