IT'S A wise mother who serves
L nourishing party foods to her
little daughters or sons friends.
We might work out an equa-
ton requiring that considerable
time be given to the decorations
and games with thought devoted
to simple nourishing food. Elab-
crate menus are not necessary.
Noon Is Best
Party meals are most wisely
served at regular meal times,
with noon being the most advis-
able. II this Is not possible, a
supper might be served between
five and six In the evening. The
important thing to keep in mind
Is that the foods should be
simple and easily digested. At
tractive sandwiches. simple fruit.
gelatin and plain cake mixtures
may be supplemented with fruit
and milk drinks.
For the supper party the kid
dies would enjoy salmon tim
balls with carrot and celery
sticks. crisp crackers with put
ter, milk. fruit gelatin and birth
day cake. Or serve toasted
peanut butter sandwiches,
scrambled eggs with crisp cauli-
fiowerets. fruit parfait, sponge
cake and chocolate.
Fruit Parfeif
The fruit parfait is easy to
make. Into the glass drop a
scoop of vanilla Ice cream, a
generous portion of mixed fruit
favored with the syrup fror the
can. Top with whipped cream
and q cherry.
At afternoon parties have no
more than ice cream and cake
with milk or a mixed milk drink.
Or serve sandwiches, beverage
and apple crystals.

An 8-year-old boy was killed in

pinned beneath several lengths of

War Games Near End
As Red Army Still

Blue Attackers Stalled
By "DemoIition" Of All

WITH THE I'd ARMY IN LOUIS
lana, Sept. 2S.-The end of the
greatest war games ever staged
by the American Army apparently
was only hours off tonight with the
I'd and Sd Armies engaged in scat
tered battles along a l00-mile front
running in a wide semi-circle so
miles from Shreveport.
Competent military sources said,
however, the finish to the two weeks
of maneuvers might be delayed un-
til late Sunday to give the two forces
chance to engage in at least one
major encounter during the week.
1t. Gen. Ben Lear's red-banded
I'd Army found little trouble in
holding Shreveport against the
larger, but slower-moving Sd Army
of 1t. Gen. Walter Kruger. Ap-
parently stalemated by the demo-
lition Of bridges through the swamps
and marsh lands along the Sabine
River Valley, the Blue attackers
had not penetrated the defensive
front seriously at any point.
Threat from Texas.
The only threat considered dam
gerous were tank columns of the
I'd Armored Division driving in
from Texas, but even they were not
yet across the difficult barrier of the
Sabine River

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 81
The giant steel mills of the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron & Railroad Co., were
closed tonight by strike of mem
bers of the C. I. O. Steel Workers
Organizing Committee.
Approximately 10000 men are en-
ployed in manufacturing units at
Fairfield, Bessemer and Ensley, all
in this district.
The walkout followed an unsuc-
cessful last-minute effort to post
pone the general strike until tomor-
row night. The S. w. o. C. voted
NE Immediate walkout by acclama-
ton a few minutes after Gov. Frank
M. Dixon refused a union demand
that State Guard units be with
drawn.
Shortly after the general strike,
Brig. Gen. Ben Smith, commander
of the State Guard, announced 400
additional troops would be on duty
at the mills by daylight tomorrow.
T. c.. I. with eight blast furnaces
and l8 open hearths, was producing
more than 100000 tons of steel
ingots per month, most of which
was going into defense industries.
Tonights walkout followed by "a

men. Union sources said it resulted
from grievances of long standing,
including dissatisfaction with incen-

Our Taxes Higher
Than Britain S,
Chamber Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States Chamber of
Commerce said yesterday that the
new tax bill would bring the tax
burden of the United States above
that of Great Britain, whether
measured on per capita basis or as
a percentage of national income.
Commenting that there was
general erroneous belief" that the
tax burden is higher in Britain, the
chamber. in its periodical Washing
ton Review, said a conservative
estimate" for Federal, State and To-
cal taxes approXimated S22 500, ,000-
900 or a per capita figure of sl68
for the current fiscal year and that
the per capita burden was likely to
reach $3.50 for a full year of new
taxes.
The per capita tax in Britain for
the current period is sl65 and after
a full year of operation of new taxes
will be about s173, the chamber
said.
On the basis of national incomes,
the chamber said. United States
taxes would take Is per cent and
British taxes % per cent.
1T is true that for some years
after the World War the British tar
burden was heavier than ours, both
as a percentage of national income
and on per capita basis the
chamber said. "A few years ago
however, our tax burden began to
approximate that of Great Britain
due to increases in the burden of
our Federal and State taxes"

Governor Refused to Remove Troops

Noel Beddow, S. w. o. c. chief
in Alabama, urged the union to re-
main on the job in an address
before the mass meeting at which
the general strike vote was taken.
but just as he ended, the telegram
from the Governor arrived, was
read, and the walkout ordered.
Governors Telegram.
The telegram said:
The State guard was sent to
Ensley to prevent bloodshed and
will be kept there until these re-
suits are assured"
Mr.. BeddoW said he believed he
could have averted the strike had
the Governors telegram not ar
rived. He contended there had been
no indication of violence at the
EnSley plant. and there was no need
for the State guard.
Beddow said approximately H.
