REMEMBER THE way your
mothers kitchen used 10 smell?
Mines smelling that way now.
Boiling tongue on the back of
the stove coddled apples
simmering. ruby red, in their
thickening syrup boiled
potatoes with onions. celery and
hard-boiled eggs cooling in the
mixing bowl. ready for tomor-
rows salad.
Smells pungent, spicy,
aromatic, honey smells Of hand
made. food and homemade love
and service-they do something
TO the heart. Fragrance of the
new-mown alfalfa steaming in
the sun smoke of brushwood
and leaves drifting in the
autumn twilight these are
as vitality a part of our Ameri-
can way of life as the Constitu-
ton itself.
Hold Dreams
They are the symbols OF a
freedom and friendliness which
have no place in the war
machine. They hold within their
fragrant essence the songs we
sang as little tykes in Sunday
school, the dreams we dreamed
as we trudged home from the
old swimming hole :. the dawn
ing awareness of the meaning Of
democracy.
Each home a little nation In
itself. a self-supporting nation,
but also a unit In the frame
work of all the other nations.
Home smells. How seldom we
mention them, and yet I believe
they are the very roots of our

Vegetables
That Can Be
Planted Now
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Garden Editor. Detroit Times

JUST AS soon as the hot
days of summer come along. the
impression comes with them that
the growing season is virtually
at an end-that there is no sense
In planting any more vegetables.
This Is far from true, for some
vegetables thrive in heat. and
others must be planted in sum-
mer to be ready for storage in
the fall.
Fall and spring crops are
really very much alike, they are
Just grown from opposite ends
of the season. They are alike
because both need as much cool
weather and as little warm as
possible.
In the spring we try to satisfy
this demand by early sowing
so the vegetable Is mature be-
fore the weather Is hot.
And Now
At this time of year We try
10 figure the number of days
to frost as closely as possible
80 that we may put In seeds
at the last possible moment and
still have a crop.
In this way we are also cutting
down on the warm weather the
crop viii have to endure.
There is still time for a crop
of late corn. and beans may be
planted up to August 20 or IS.
II Is a bit late for fall cabbage
or cauliflower from seed but
plants may still be purchased
and these will head before frost
Carrots and beets planted now
will be ready before frost-a
week from now would do just as
well. Kale and endive and
broccoli may be planted this
week from seed in the row and
will give you plenty of late vege-
tables for your dinner table
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-07-10
Quick Growing

Leaf lettuce. radishes and
spinach are also among the
quick-growing crops. Some peo-
pie believe that spinach makes
a better fall plant than a spring
one.
II will pay In sowing seeds for
late growing TO watch your soil
for good termination conditions
after the ground has been
soaked by rain and then is just
getting dry. Plant then. even if
IL Is a day or two late or a week
ahead of time.
II you expect the hot summer
wind TO bother the young plants,
sow radishes on one side of
them, in the direction the wind
comes from. Then use up the
radishes.
I find I've forgotten turnips--
but the old ditty tells the tale
ION the twenty-fifth of July
SOW your turnipS wet or dry"

Chinese CABBAGE

Chinese cabbage, imported
from China many years ago has
never been used as fully as II
might because II was labeled
cabbage and Americans took II
for. granted by that name and
used IL accordingly.
IL was grown as spring crop
and did not do particularly well.
II you will SOW IL as fall crop
and II will take only so TO so
days to nature---you will find II
grows beautifully.
Sow the seed in the row and
later thin the plants TO 10 inches
apart. This is a most versatile
plant so far as uses on the table
go. It may be used as a salad
when raw, or as greens when
cooked and may even be used
for sauerkraut!

Canadian Corvette Lost
With 81 Officers and Men

OTTAWA, Feb. 10 R.-The
Canadian corvette Spikenard has
been lost with 81 officers and men,
1t was announced officially today.
Navy Minister Angus Macdonald
said the ship was lost through
enemy action.
Five of her officers and 50 of her
go crew members lost their lives, he
said.
The Spikenard was the third Ca
madam corvette lost since the start
of the war, and the death Of 81 Of
her officers and crew brought the
Royal Canadian Navy's war losses
to 500.
Naval service headquarters said it
believed the corvette was torpedoed
by a German submarine while on
convoy duty in the North Atlantic.
-Four of the survivors, reported
to be slightly wounded, are In a
hospital in England" said a state
ment from the naval service head
quarters.
THE fact that only eight men
survived suggests that the corvette
broke up and sank within minutes
after the believed torpedoing."
Those rescued were said to have
been picked up by another royal
navy corvette.
The captain of the Spikenard was
1t. Comdr. Hubert c. Shadforth.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 10. Informed
sources said today the 35,000-ton
battleships Anson and Howe, the
newest of the King George v. class,
soon would join the British fleet.
They based their statement on
Prime Minister Churchill's decla-
ration Tuesday that before the Ger
man battleships Scha-nhorst and
Gneisenau could be put in fighting
trim "the Royal Navy will be rein
forced by various important units
of highest quality"
The Howe, originally named the
Beatty, was launched November II,
1899, and one source said she easily
could be in service or at least be
undergoing trials now. The same,
he added, was true of the Anson,
originally named the Jellicoe, which
was launched in 1910.
Five ships formed the class orig
inally. The King George v and
the Duke of York already are at
sea; the Prince OF Wales was lost

Senator Downey, Democrat, OF
California this afternoon tied his
$3O-a- month pension for al
needy persons over go directly to
the proposal to repeal congress
sional retirement annuities.
He did so by making his general
pension plan amendment to the
amendment of Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, which is intended
to take elected officials out Of the
civil service retirement system
Originally the Downey plan had
been offered as a substitute.
This will bring the first vote on
the Downey proposal, and if it should
carry the Senate, could not repeal
the congressional pension without
at the same time adopting the new
grant to all needy aged.
Byrd Opposes Move.
Senator Byrd, taking the floor
against the Downey move. served
notice that if it is adopted he will
then urge defeat Of his own amend
ment. expressing the belief the con-
gressional annuity plan could be re-
pealed on its merits later on.

Senator Says War Comes First.
What good will pension of this

people, If Japan or Germany gain
control of this country" Senator
McKellar asserted, in explaining
that, as much as he sympathizes
with those in need, this country has
task to perform to preserve the
Nation before it can turn to any
thing else.
