They definitely DO not want
their sons, or daughters, to sup

Then, too, they are sensitive to
the cruel ridicule and slurs direct

themselves in q comparable posi-

past middle age continue to hold
down positions or do odd chores
that bring in money. It's why, for
instance, they mind children. or
make pies and cakes, or sew. or
help take care Of the sick.

method OF cooking enjoys so much
popularity.
In broiling avoid frequent turn
ing, as this tends to dry out the
food. Fish and veget les are
brushed with oil or melted butter.
seasoned with salt and pepper. and
covered with fine bread crumbs.
Meat Is prepared for the grill by
trimming away excess fat. The
broiling rack should be creased
while hot with a piece of suet. Fish
and vegetables may be cooked in
the creased broiling pan.
BROILING FISH
Fillet. steaks or whole fish. split,
may be used. Even thickness is de-
sirable. Brush the fish with oil and
place 1t in oiled pan about 2 inches
below the heat. If skin is on the
fish, the skin should be on top. At
the end Of minutes the skin
should begin to bubble and turn
brown. Continue cooking until the
skin surface is covered with very
dark brown bubbles. Turn just
once. haste several times with sea-
soned melted butter and cook until
brown. Do not overlook.
MEATS TO BROIL
Cuts of meat best adapted for
broiling are steaks, chops, outlets.
sliced ham, bacon; also ground
meats and sausage. The new
canned scrapple makes delicious
grilled meat cakes at a minimum
OF effort and cost. Chill the can
first. cut meat in thick slices, grill
and serve with spicy relish or APP
pie butter. Broiled poultry. an old
time favorite, is not to be over
looked in considering meats to
broil.
BROILED VEGETABLES
Vegetables that lend themselves
to this method of cooking include
eggplant. mushrooms. okra, par
ships and tomatoes. Buy very small

WASHINGTON. - America faces
its second crisis under Roosevelt.
Whether America knows it or not

the last doubt may be removed-the
President knows it now. The first
crisis was the peak of the economic
panic. The present one is the valley

CONVOY:
argument

The anti-convoy and pro-convoy
fight in the senate picked up when
the Tobey and Nye resolutions were
given formal consideration in COM
mittee.
Both resolutions were defeated in
committee. but only by a vote of 13-
10. and this showed what strength
the Observation-Disclosures had gained.
The resolution would have tied the
Presidents hands most effectively,
in the question of using the Amer
lean navy to protect shipments to
Britain and other defending democ-
racies.
Both would have demanded that
the President get cong 'essional ap-
proval for any conveying that might
be done, and pledged congress to
give or withhold it within IA days.
This would have slowed the pace
of the naval commander-in-chief to a
walk. There was little repetition,
however, of the charges that con-
voying already was being done.
Senator Nye, in some of his
speeches, began to give figures of
U. S. losses Of equipment en- route

during the World war, with the Asso-
citation for the Improvement Of the
Poor in New York, where he got to
know Governor Roosevelt, and then
with the relief organization of the
federal government.
Hopkins, lean. slight, amiable.
grew up with the New Deal.
So did Leon Henderson but he
reached the inner circle by a more
roundabout way. He is thick-set
and dynamic and he clustered into
the confidence of General Johnson in
the MIRA, as an economist who could
punctuate his theories with the salty
explosives that appealed to Old Iron
Pants.
When the blue eagle folded its
wings. Henderson plowed his own
furrow and got out Of the way when
he was not needed but always man
aged to bob up when he had a
chance to say something important.
He predicted the bust" as he
called 1.-THE slump Of 1887. In 1888
he warned against price rises. He
kept warning. Prices went up. Now
he is czar over prices.
Like Hopkins, Henderson worked
his way through college. Like him,
too, the jobs he has held since his
maturity were all outside the marts
Of trade and commerce.
These two self-made rural boys
see the same dreams of America

House windows side by side with the

to Britain by sea, and said that
these ranged from 40 per cent to
more than half. He then quoted a
high defense official as saying,
they were nowhere near 40 per
cent and were getting less constant.
~"
However, it was still apparent
that Britain preferred to send
American aircraft across the ocean
by air rather than on the water, and
the President backed up this effort
by announcing he was asking for a
survey to get all the commercial
air transports possible. presumably
to ferry the pilots back and forth
who were In the transatlantic
shipping Of warplanes to Britain.
That this was a big industry and
getting bigger was seen by the new
revelations Of the prices being paid
to American pilots for doing the fer
rying. Some of these salaries were
quoted at 81. 500 a trip. which didn't
seem so much, but it was a good
deal for a days flying, and some
of the bombers were making it in
IL hours.
OF course, there was the wait be-
fore you got back to earn another
81. 500. but the pilots e getting
astronomical waiting salaries" as
we'll. But there were signs that as
American production was stepped
up, this business was beginning to
get out Of hand, and that there "a
a woeful shortage of planes capable
of bringing the pilots back to Amer
lea.
There also was revealed another
British immediate request for a
quantity of mosquito torpedo boats.
and also the fact that American sup
ply was short, for Secretary Knox
said, Well let them have some.

teal.
There was little question but that
the fighting had been as hard at one
place as at the other. with probably
more successful work done by the
British in Greece than they did in
France. It seemed that the Greeks
were better co-operators than the
French, whose morale was utterly
shot long before the British began to
fall back. and had to contend with
clogged roads and fleeing millions.
But Churchill let the commons
have the Greek bill'' of expenses as
soon as he knew what it was, and
announced he would permit a full
debate on this motion:
A vote of confidence in the con-
duct of the war by the British gov
ernment-and a vote of approval on
the giving of aid to the Greeks.
Churchill said the British had put
60, 1000 soldiers into Greece, including
