As an example, take that weather bureau man wh o sneered last Friday when an inter- viewer asked for some facts about Indian Summer. we have a stand ard reply to that" he snorted. We don't recognize Indian Summer. It is just poetic license and has TO meteorological basis" Think of thatl Here is a phenomenon that occurs at least once a year-it has occurred three times this year if our count is correct-and is read- fly observable by all. including the

 The following recipe for pir- oque Is one of the many that ex ist as there are different kinds of piroque. Different vegetables are used in some especially car rots; salted, fresh or canned fish may be used; and different kind 5 of dough are employed This one is fairly simple, and will serve 4
 Ingredients:
 Pie dough
 (enough for two ordiary pies) 1 cup rice Piece of butter 3 onions 1 rutabaga 1-2 medium or 1 small cabbage
 l large can salmon
 3 hardboiled eggs Salt & pepper
 Boil the rice, add piece of but ter, and let cool, Fry the rutaba ga chopped fine, the cabbage well-sliced and the sliced dried onions together. Start with the rutabaga as 1t takes longest to cook, be generous with the grease, and stir well and let cook slowly so 1t will not burn. When done, and after boiling eggs hard, you are ready to arrange the ingredi- ents.
 Cover the bottom of a shallow cookie tin with the dough as you would making pie. Then place a layer of rice. another layer of half the vegetables, a layer of the hard boiled eggs, and lay CT of fish. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then use re- maining ingredients for more layers in the same order. Use the remaining dough to mold over the top and sides Bake one hour in a hot oven (4OG degrees) When done serve at tab e.
 If fresh or salt fish is used it may be placed in the layers whole, or cut in thin strips. Salt fish is preferred. A deep pan may be lsed in place of the cookie tin.

MENTAL TORTURE

The GeStapo knew that and
the GeStapo knew that If they
broke Walter, they would gain

the Comintern empire in in

They had tortured lin hor-
ribly. But a warrior of Albert
Walters caliber could not he

aged mother, who had catered

who had fought fearleSSly 10

Inspector KrauS had seized
old Mrs. Walter and kept her
on the water and bread in a

Albert Walter 10 the womenS

and had permitted him 10

the cell in which his mother
languiShed. And then In
Spector kraus served his

Walter, either you work

mother will die I'm kO-LaFu."
The price Albert Walter
paid for the liberation of his
mother was treason TO the
cause he had served all his
life. Both Mrs Walter and
her son were released. and
Albert became a collaboration

1t became clear TO me from
the beginning that such an
accumulation Of unruly tenn
peramentS in so small space
was fraught with promises Of
antagoniSimS and outburStS Of
helpless SaVagery.
Men fought for piece Of
soap, a crust of bread, a place

important prizes. One-third
of the population Of Hall Nine
consisted of genuine crooks
