ONLY AN ARMISTICE

We speak of World War and World War u as
though the fighting Of l9l4-8 had been terminated
by peoce, and this new conflict But IN toct,
this the second main episode in single war which
began in 1914 and will earn the right to be known as
the Second Thirty Years War.
The Armistce which we celebrate today, for the
18th time was only ormstice, and not the stepping
stone to peace.
We think of the war Of l9l4-l8 as notionoIistc
struggle, and Of this as theological conflict. There
is some merit in this appraisal, but not too much.
This episode is theological in the sense that, if
we were to lose, the notions to whom we would have
to scrope the knee would impose upon the vicious
practice Of totoIitorionism The penalties Of defect
would be more intoerobIe than in what call World
War !.
But so far as causes are concerned, and SO far as
our thinking about the bases for permanent peace is
controlled by them we should recognize that this is

TotoIitorionsm in the form Of Communism took

National Socialism won over the Reich because it
promised to restore and expand military and econo-
mic prestige.
So far os most Germans are concerned, Nozism is
merely the machinery by which they hoped to accom-
pIish thot imperialism which Koserism foiled to
achieve and toward which infant democracy seemed
to be making little progress.
The issue in the Occdent still u.s. as it was up to

MODERN MENUS
Wartime Life Can Still
Be Sweet

petites for essential foods are
blunted by too much refined sugar
in the diet. And 1t will also make
it easier for those who are over
weight to reduce to the tune of a
patriotic motive. Sugar is concen-
trated form of inert calories-arch
enemy of streamlined ad vital fig
ures.
BY using more fruits, fresh,
canned and dried, you can put nat
ural sweetness into your menus.
Dried fruits are picked only when
fully ripened on the tree, and
therefore contain more sugar. Many
vegetables can increase the natural
sugar content of your meals. Car
rots, peas, beets and sweet pota-
toes are good examples. Increase
your weekly consumption of these
fodos and you won't notice the
rationing as much as your emotions
actually not your normal appetite)
tell you you will.
NOT RATIONED
Molasses, sorghum, maple sugar,
corn syrup, ard honey are other
non-rationed sweets. They can be
used on cereals, desserts and in
beverages. When you use them in
cooking in place Of refined sugar,
follow the conversion rules which
you'll find in any good cook book.
However, if you are en- restrict
ed wartime budget, don't plan to
use maple sugar and honey in large
quantities. Both these sweets are
expensive. AS to molasses and corn
syrup, don't count too much on
them for any length of time. 1t is
true that sugar ard sugar syrup
can be extracted from corn. How
ever, corn now is in great demand
for feeding hogs and other animals
for our defense food supplies, and
also as the basis for industrial alco-
hol needed in manufacture of NUM-
tons. Molasses, too, is needed in in
creasing quantities for manufacture
of industrial alcohol.
Wisest procedure is to face the
sugar rationing at once, get used
to it and live accordingly. Actually
with less sugar we'll become a better
nourished people. Rushing about
trying to find substitutes for the
sugar we give up-except through
increased use of fruits and vege-
tables-is a rathre futile business.
Every teaspoonful of sugar we don't
eat is contribution toward win
ming the war.

1t, and also a cabinet with Well-dec-

which are avoWedly baroque.
What sticks most home-makers
who want to absorb modern furni-
ture into rooms already done in rta-
ditional styles, is chiefly that the
modern furniture often is so severely
simple that it seems not to go with
anything but more of the same.
With variety and fleXibility built
into the Parks-Bevalaqua furniture
by original design, obviously any
piece will be absorbed smoothly into
any but the most rococco room.

Miss Park is the youngest of sue

born in Cincinnati of proud pioneer
stock, and has the venturesome eX-

collection, but she credits her design
ing partner with the practically OF
it.
"He is the predetermined part
of the combination" she said. Be-

around war-tabooed chemicals. The
