Vichy Note
Given US.

OVICHY, Unoccupied France,
Aug. 6 - R) - The French
government handed the United
States embassy an official note
tonight which was reported re-
liably to have assured Washing
ton that France will defend her
empire by means which she
thinks best.
The note was said to have
been couched in general terms.
1t was not made public here.
Authorized sources said il es-
tablished a clear difference be-
tween the cases of Syria, where
France herself defended her en-
pire against the Allied British
and DeGaullist French, and that
OF Indo- China where she has
authorized Japan to aid in the
defense.
(The agreement by which ia
pan won new military bases in
Southern Indo- China has been
represented at Vichy as q Joint
undertaking to secure the French
colony against outside threats.)

Be Sure You Get Fullest Value N From Your Meats

or IS minutes was considered es. sential to juicy, well-havored roast, But not today. The roast should be placed in the oven with the fat side up, then as the fat melts It will run over and through the meat and basting may be eliminaed.
 SALT WHEN YOU PLEASE
 It used to be considered bad prac. tice to salt meat at the beginning of the cooking period on the theory that salt draws out juices. Later, the theory was advanced that salt should be added at the beginning of cooking so that 1t would pene- trate the meat and season 1t all the way trough.
 Salt does draw out juices, but in a roast very little surface is ex- posed and the juices which do come out enrich the gravy. Tn broiling steak or chops which have relatively large exposed surfaces. 1t is better to add the salt after cooking.

Q MODERN MENUS
BY MRS. GAYNoR MADDOX
 NEA Service Staff Writer

Today, in a crisis period, every housewife must re-educate herself in cooking methods. Grandmas way is no longer good enough.
 A roast costs money. Do you get every cents worth in palatability and nutrition? Let's answer some questions about the way to roast meat.
 Much lower and constant tenn peratures are recommended for cooking all meat. regardless of method, because:
 CD The shrinkage is much less, therefore meat cooked at a mod crate temperature will yield more servings.
 (2) A constant moderate temper ature decreases fuel consumption.
 (3) The meat is cooked more uni- formly.
 tA Less watching is required and less work in cleaning bespattered ovens.
 (5) The kitchen is cooler and more comfortable place to work.
 NO WATER NEEDED
 DO not add water to the roast ing pan. This used to be done in the old days of high-temperature roasting so that the drippings would not become too brown to make good gravy. With Q moderate temperature adding water is not necessary.
 According to old ideas of meat cookery, basting the meat every 10

POISON IVY JUST AROUND
 THE CORNER

Every one should recognize poison ivy at sight. Poison oak is Q bush four or Ave feet high, but some- times it grows as Q vine like ordl. nary poison ivy, Poison oak or poison ivy leaves are long stemmed, have three leaflets two Of the leaf- lets opposite and schort-stalked, the midle leaflet having Q long stalk. The leaflets are notched one one side. The leaflets are fro none to four inches long, dark green on up- per surfaces, lighter and often vel- vety with fine hairs on the under surfaces.
 Harmless woodhine or virginia creeper, often mistaken for poison oak or poison ivy, has leaves with five leaflets.
 Poison sunac grows as Q shrub with several slender clustered stems or sometimes as Q tree twenty or thirty feet high with c trunk several inches In diameter. Its leaves seven to IA inches long and have from seven to f3 leaflets orranged In op~ posite pairs with one leaflet on a long stem at the end. Tn early spring the leaves of poison sumach have @ bright orange color and have velvety hairy surfaces underneath, but when mature the leaves are dark green and glossy underneath,
 Poison Sumac has flowers and fruits similar to those of poison ivy and oak. All thrice plants may take . beautiful golden red color In late autumn when all foliage Is turning color, but 1t Is not at all satisfoc- tory as decorative plant,
 Some poison ivy Is lowdown and cowardly, sneaking up on you in the tall grass to reach out and brush your feet as you blithely now the lawn barefoot around your lakeside shack.
 One who must necessarily be ex- posed to poison ivy may enjoy con- siderable protection by smearing the exposed skin with ordinary father, or with ordinary grease of aany kind, or with Q vanishing cream containing 10 per cent of SO. dium perborate before coming in contact, Wash this away with soap and water, repeated rinslngs. as soon as exposure Is over.
 Emergency remedies for ivy poisoning are many, These have proved satisfactory In general ex- perience;
 l. Apply wet dressings of ten per cent solution of sodium thiosul. fate (formerly called hyposulphite of soda, the chemical photographers call "hypo~.

 {. Bathe first with alcohol, then with 10 per cent solution of tannic acid in water.
 5. Bathe with sour milk or but termilk.
 g. Apply congresses kept wet with strong tea.

 One of the most brilliant hands I have seen this year was played by Edward Marcus of Boston. An old- time whist player, Marcus some. times gives the impression Of seeing through the backs Of the cards, for he has executed many extraordinary coups like that in today's hand.
 South trumpcd the opening lead, caghed the ace Of spades and led a small spade to ruff with the seven Of hearts. The fall of Vests king indicated the spade split.
 Dcclarer's problem at this point is certainly puZZIing. He can win five trump tricks plus the spade ruff, also two top spades, but that still leaves him two tricks short. A complete cross-ruH of spades and clubs would yield eight trump tricks plus the spade ace, but he could then never cash the queen Of spades.
 From the bidding Marcus guessed that West held singleton diamond and that it was an honor. He hoped 1t was the blank ace, and that West held all the top clubs.
 On this assumption he found ail extraordinary way to make hig con- tract. He cashed the king of hearts, then the queen, overtaking with the ace, and pulled all of Vests trumps, leaving himself also void. Dummy discarded two diamonds. Then South led the three of diamonds.
 It must have been a thrill to sec West play the ace! Now West was left nothing but clubs. He could cash two tops and then let dummy make the jack. or he could lead low and force the jack at once. But in either event the jack of clubs would make the tenth trick, together with two top spades, the spade ruff, five hearts, and the king of diamonds.

WOMAN,S REALM
GIOr6ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
MIA serYlce etaiR Wrlter

NEA DerV1Ce DVAH WEhSeE
 There's no reason in the world why any modern woman should have the sweet little old lady" look at fifty. Not that it isn't a cofn- pletely charming look. Poets have sung It's praises for centuries. It's just that, these days, fifty is too early ar age for 1t. There's plenty of time, after sixty, to settle down to sweet little old lady" clothes, mannerisf1s and makeup.
 Your smart, modern woman of fifty stands as tail and straight as she did at thirty.five. She walks gracefully, light-footedly. She wears clothes which are dignifled, but not just plain dull. She changes her hair style frequently. She uses cos. metics sparingly, of course, but she wouldn't consider going without any make lip at all.
 Sine does not try to stay as slim as her youngest daughter, but neith- CT does she kid herself into think ing that excess weight isn't aging. Realizing that she Is not as active as she was fiftten years ago, she tries to get a reasonable amount Of exercise-by walking downtown now and then instead of taking the car, and by doing some stretching and iimbering exercises couple of times week. As the years go on, she tries to eat a little less as she exercises a little less.
 Most importantly, she avoids complacent attitude. She doesn't say to herself, This is the way I am and this is the way look, and it's too late to change" TT HELPS TO REMAIN
 MENTALLY ALERT
 Nobody wants her to change radi- cally But t isn't bright for her to ignore all that science has dis covered in the way of preparations to keep the skin unlined and clear, rules for heaithful, energy-giving eating, sound theories for keeping the body Timber and youthful,
 And 1t isn't good idea for her to have TO interests outside of housekeeping and possibly garden ing, If she reads and keeps up with what is going on around her, re- maining mentally alert as well as physically active, she won't have "the sweet little old lady" look years before 1t could possibly be becoming to her.
