Having hurdled the problem of
sugarless desserts and cakes, Mrs.
American Homemaker before long
will be asked to cut down on the
tamily's meat consumption and still
provide balanced menus.
Even though rationing does not
become effective within the next
two or three months. meats un-
doubtedly will become scarcer be-
cause of the tremendous amount
needed for the country's armed
forces. Therefore, many smart
housekeepers already are seeking
sood meat substitute recipes.
Cheese, eggs, poultry. fish and
milk all contain the good quality
Of protein found in meat and SO
make good substitutes. Beans, peas,
lentils and nuts can also be used
occasionally for meat substitutes,
although the quality of protein in
this group is not as good. Where
meat substitutes are used it is
good idea to step up the whole
wheat cereals ON the menus to in
sure plenty of the B vitamins.
From Vivian Whaley, director of
the A & P Kitchen, come these eco
nomical recipes which can be used
as meat substitutes.

Dear Sir:
would like to make mention
through the Dribbles column that
Corp. Charles E. Insolo, Jr., is now
stationed in tht Pacific. He writes
to his aunt, Mrs. William Former,
that he is well and likes conditions
there, and the scenery is beautiful.
However, given his choice, it is fair
to assume that Charles would rath-
er be back in the States. He is
looking forward to the day Of his
return.

Editor of Dribbles
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear Sir:
We have received the following
letter from our son, Staff Sergeant
Pilot John S. Melvin, under the
date of August 18th:
Hello Nom and Family:
Sorry l couldn't get home as
planned but I had to cy down, and
didn't have time to stop off.
I saw George Langrell last night,
but so far he is the only one have
seen from Smyrna. George is
looking swell and apparently is do
ing o. K. I fly most of the time
now, all over the South, but SO far
1 have gone no further North than
Kentucky. I've been flying par
achute troops, which is our primary
mission.
There's not much more I can tell
you, except I'd like very much to
see everybody and the old town
again. Maybe l can soon.
AS ever,
John

Very sincerely yours,
John f. Melvin

Dribbles thanks you very much
Mr.. Melvin for sharing Johns let
ter with this column. We know
that the friends of your son, in this
area, and elsewhere, will make use
of this information to communicate
with him. At least this is our sin
Icere wish. Dribbles has never
heard of a single instance wherein
Our Boys In Service have ever
complained about receiving too
much mail. On the other hand we
do know of cases where too little
mail arriving has tended to lower
morale greatly. Please tell John
that Dribbles wishes him the very
best of food fortune at his new sta
ton.

Pvt. Calvin E. Foxwell sent a
large picture home to his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. William L. Foxwell,
Smyrna, showing the entire Com
pany D, 4th Regiment, 18th Bat
talon, stationed at Fort Mcclellan,
Alabama. In this picture were
Pvt.s George w. Armstrong, Calvin
E. Foxwell and Benjamin A. Sew
ard, all Smyrna boys who joined
the colors on the End of July.
Dribbles wishes to take this oppor-
tunity to extend greetings to these
boys, and invite them to join other
members of thte u. S. Armed Fore
es who are writing in to this col
umn. How about it fellows?
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1942-08-27

Donald, old boy, Dribbles was in
deed very pleasantly surprised to
get your interesting letter. A state
ment like this, in any mans Ian
guage, constitutes a broad invita-
ton for a second dose of the self
same medicine, any time the spirit
of Father Neptune passes the word
topside. Now as to the salty ear
which you refer to in your letter,
would surprise you a lot to know
that we, once upon time, did lay
claim to having one, perhaps two,
of the same. But, alas! That was
back in 1917, during the first big
scrap. Gosh! How time does fly.
The salt ears we speak of lasted
only about eighteen months, then
they were turned back to shore for
less valorous, and more commercial
purposes. But, not until the job
was finished, in the same manner
that you Boys In The Service are
going to finish this one. They were
the days when the u. S. S. Okla
homa was about the most modern
battle wagon afloat, and the good
old U. S. S. Michigan was forever
running into misfortune.
But, enough of that. Dribbles
wants you to know that all your
trends back home are pulling for
you, the same applying to your
Buddies also. 1t is mighty fine that
they should get kick out of The
Smyrna Times. After all son, we
in these small rural towns live
near to earth. We are
therefore able to judge great
bunch of "gobs" when they steer
true to course that crosses ours.
We know, that when the U. S. S.
Texas enters troubled seas, the
deck force will brace the main
stays, batten down the matches, and
stand by your stations: prepared
to give our Axis foes a taste of the
John Paul Jones spirit. The tradi-
ton of the United States Navy is
one to forever be proud of, on the
sea, in the air, AMI below the waves,
where ever the "gob" is called upon
to serve his country. Dribbles sa-
lutes you oil salts, and may you all
return to home port when the scrap
is won, some to ship over again,
and some to enter pursuits of hap
piness in other fields of endeavor.
Good luck Don, and tell your
friends aboard that they are our
friends too.

|0f ) Years for Death
OF Maryland Girl
New Trial to Be Sought
For Triee; W. T. Moore
Sentenced for Attack =

Horace w. Trice, 81, of 2726 Thir-
tieth street NE, today. faced a
three-year sentence in the Mary
land House of Correction and a
$1,000 fine on a charge of man
slaughter.
He was sentenced yesterday by
Circuit Court Judge Charles c. Mar
bury in Upper Marlboro, Md, fol-
lowing his conviction last week in
the traffic death May II of 15-year-
old Doris Stallings of Meadows in
front of the Upper Marlboro Court
House. The sentence was the maxi
mum.
Trice was a clerk for the Amer
lean Red Cross. His attorney, John
S. White of Hyattsvlle, said he, had
filed a motion for a new trial. Trice
will be tried June 9 in Marlboro Po-
lice Court on charges of reckless
and drunken driving in connection
with the same case.
In pronouncing sentence, Judge
Marbury charged Trice with per-
juring himself deliberately" during
the trial in an attempt to escape
punishment.
Declaring that even now there
is no sorrow in your heart for your
action" the jurist expressed regret
in not being able to impose a more
severe sentence. He added that he
hoped the sentence would serve as
a warning for any person convict
ed before him in a similar case.
Judge Marbury also sentenced
William r. Moore, 80, of Washing
ton, to serve 10 years in the Mary
land Penitentiary following his con-
viction last week on charge of
criminally attacking a 16-year-old
District high school student near
Suitland March 3.
William Collins, colored, of Aquas-
CO, was sentenced to Is years in the
Maryland Penitentiary on charge
of second-degree murder in con-
nection with the Staying OF Henry
Douglas, colored.
John H. Sweeney, %, of Wash
ington, received one-year sentence
in the Maryland Penitentiary on a
charge of HOUSEKEEPING.

Nearby Areas Population Gains
Shown by Sugar Registration

Virginia population studies based
on the sugar consumer registration
under the rationing program indi-
cate an increase in the population Of
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and
Alexandria, Va. of more than $4,000
since 1910, and Associated Press re-
ported today.
"The population as reflected in the
sugar consumer registration serves
as an excellent current measure of
the civilian population. said DR..
Lorin A. Thompson, Richmond. di-
rector of the study.
while it has a number of lirnita-
tions, such as the unknown pro-
portion of persons living in an area
who eat in hotels. restaurants or
other institutions, yet it is probably
closer to the true population Of an
area than can be obtained from any
other source"
Evening star., 1942-06-03

The studies showed that estimates
of the increase in population made
prior to the registration were very
accurate. The areas near Washing
ton were over-estimated by about
500 and all of Virginia by less than
$4,000.
DR.. Thompson's figures showed
that Arlington had a 1910 popula-
ton of 57,040 and sugar registrations
amounted to 74,453, an increase of
17,413. For Alexandria, the 1910
figure was 33,523 and the sugar
registration 47,l92, a jump Of 1869.
Fairfax County increased 1886 from
40,929 in 1910 to an estimated 47,915
shown by the sugar cards issued.
For Virginia, the 1910 population
count showed 3,063. Oficials esti-
mated February l that increases
would bring tho total to 957, ,092.
Sugar registration was 933,3l5.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va, June 3.-Class-
room space is at premium in Falls
Church, too.
Foreseeing possible overcrowding
of Madison School next fall, the
Fairfax County School Board yes
terday requested of G.. T. Reeves,
representative from the Falls
Church School Board, that the town
board make a survey to find vacant
rooms that might be used for ele-
mentary instruction next session.
1t was suggested that, in the event
of overcrowding, this might make
unnecessary the construction Of a
temporary school building as an ad-
junct to the Madison Schools ia

The county board voted to close
the high school department at the
Franklin Sherman School at Nc

FORT GEORGE G.. MEADE, Md,
June 3.-Shakespeare, Maurice
Evans and Judith Anderson scored
a triple triumph here last night as
Macbeth" was offered a soldier
audience in the first attempt to
present a classic drama to the Army.
The experimental performance,
proffered with some trepidation by
those responsible, turned out to be
one of the famed Evans-AnderSon's S
companies most complete successes.
If there was any doubt that "the
boys" couldn't take anything more
serious than variety or perhaps an
occasional farce. it was dispelled,
so far as this sector was concerned
and probably these men are not
much different from others in uni
form scattered so widely.
. Goes Over Big.
While Mr.. Evans and Miss Ander-
son presented the complete company
and settings which have just closed
a notable road tour, and critics
have called this the finest version
of Macbeth" ever, critics from the
War Department-critics of the
audience, not the players-pointed
out that, after all. Shakespeare
also was involved. No matter how
we'll done, they commented, the
bards drama had to get over.
Well, it did, but conspicuously.
Nearly 1000 of the lads in khaki
-infantrymen, artillery, engineers
filling every seat in Meade's Theater
No. 4, listened with enthralled at
tention throughout the two acts
and II scenes. Often, when there
was an outstanding delineation,
such as the voice of Macbeth's con-
science and Lady Macbeth's sleep
ing-walking scene, there was spon-
taneous applause, prolonged, And
there was no claque.
At the close, after MacDuff had
properly finished off the villanous
and unhappy Macbeth, the company
was called before the curtain no
less than 10 times.
Tickets for the show, costing the
soldiers nothing, were distributed
among the various outfits equitably.
Hundreds were turned away last
night, and it's a safe bet that when
Macbeth" is repeated tonight and
tomorrow night, you won't be able
to find an inch of space with an
anti aircraft searchlight.
Discuss Macbeth's Strategy.
On the opening highland, don't
mistake, it was an event in camp
the dark intrigues of the Scottish
court were followed with such tense
interest that, during the single in
termission, the boys were discussing
the plot gravely.
They'll get that louise Macbeth"
said a veteran sergeant. Watch.
I know the plot. But amt Evans
the grandest Macbeth you ever
saw?"
Mr.. Evans offered his show as an
experiment in giving servicemen
the best in serious drama. Such
a thing was unheard of in the last
war. But as Maj. Thomas C. Ferg-
uson, theater officer at Fort Meade,
pointed out:
why shouldn't Shakespeare be
popular? What is the Army but a
cross-sectfon of our society. We
have men of every taste, degree of
education and experience. I'm GER

Taxi Pickup
Modification
Before P. U. {.
Honkin Suggests
Plan to Include
Diamond Cabs

A suggestion that the Public
Utilities Commission may" modify
its rush-hour taxi pickup service
order so that the operators of the
Diamond cabs may be included
without destroying their concession
rights at Union Station, hotels and
other places was before the COM
mission today.
The suggestion was made by Com
mission Chairman Gregory Hankin
during yesterdays long session of
questioning on the issues as to
whether the Independent Taxi Own
ers Association (the Diamond opera
tors) should be compelled to engage
in the pickup service and whether
cab concessions are in the public
interest.
Performance Bond Given.
Diamond spokesmen have been
fighting inclusion in the pickup
service on the ground that the
Commissions pickup order would
prevent them from giving the serv-
ice to the station, hotels, apart
ments and other places they had
given bond to perform. Mr.. Hankin
insisted this was not the case
Harry Davis, president, and Ring
gold Hart and John j. Wilson, coun-
sci for the Diamond group, declared
they saw no objection to the pick
up service If there was no obstacle
to meeting their contract obliga-
tions.
Suggests Procedure.
Mr.. Hankin assured them that If
they were In the pickup service they
still could service special places,
and that thereby the cab drivers
had the opportunity of making more
money when they carried full loads.
He said station and hotel service
might be assured by system where
by, if more cabs were needed at the
station, notice might be given to
cabs arriving at the hotels or other
places. and the drivers could post
an "On Call" sign on their cabs and
head at once for the station.
AS an indication of its response
bilities to Union Station, for which
concession the group said it pays
the Washington Terminal $4,000 a
year. Diamond spokesmen report
ed that during April of this year
14,603 cabs were dispatched from
the station between am. and 9
am, the peak period.
