my boys used 10 grumble, and

writes Mrs. D. Viano, Detroit,
Michigan. Il finally hit upon a
plan TO tell them TO do just so
many dishes and no more. If
there are great many dishes
they are asked to dry Daddy's
age in dishes, if there aren't
very many they are asked to
dry their age in dishes. They
are so busy counting they don't
grumble. and since broken dishes
do not count the breakage is

CAMPING TRIP RECIPES AND TIPS
BY MRS. COLIN ID. WILTON,
Y Los Angeles, California

E HAVE always read your house
hold page and saved the fine
recipes. Ny young daughter
is planning on an early marriage,
so she tells me. and / am saving
the good recipes TO make her
cook book. / knew she will get a
lot of good use from that sort Of
a homemade gift from me.
A few weeks ago I took my
daughter and her boy friend on
a four days camping trip up in
the mountains, and as we were
quite far from a store l had TO
do a bit of makeshift cooking.
One day when they had gone
horseback riding l knew they
would come back 10 camp tired
and hungry so l manufactured,
IL you wish TO call 1t that, a
new dish which / labelled Multi
gan Supreme. l thought other
campers might like this recipe so
maybe you can pass II on 20
them, along with few more
camping tips of mine. II re-
quires; / can Of corned beef, 1
small head Of cabbage. / onion,
2 carrots and l small package
OF noodles.
Take outside leaves from cab
bage and line the bottom of cook
ing pan. Place all of the above
ingredients in layers Including
the chopped corned beef sailing
and peppering it to taste. The
cabbage should be cut crosswise
instead of lengthwtse, and the
noodles are uncooked. Cover this
with water and place cover on
tightly. After this has started
20 boil you can let the fire die
down and it will finish cooking
over remaining Goals and you
won't have 10 worry about II UNI
Ill the tired gang comes back to
camp, then dish il up and yell

me they sure will.

Another battle is In the offing
In Egypt, and the United Ma
tions and the Axis are rushing
reinforcements for the desert
campaign in which the side which
first receives adequate reinforce
ments will have the initiative.
Meanwhile, there are daily
skirmishes and aerial battles de-
signed to test the enemy's
strength.
Allied headquarters In Cairo
believes Nazi Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel has received a larger
number Of men and tanks than
reconnaissance planes have re-
ported. While United Nations
aviation has pounded Tobruk and
Bengasi, where transports have
landed Axis troops and material,

able to slip new forces into Africa
by way Of Tunisia. whose ports
are too distant from Allied bases
for aerial raiding.

The air force at Malta Is on the
watch for new Axis attacks and
can spare no planes to strike at
Bizerte or Sfax, where the Nazis,
using Italian and possibly French
transports, are most likely to dis
charge their cargoes. Marshal
Rommel was reinforced through
those ports last year.

The landing Of this force saved
the situation. It was hoped by
many at that time that thase

Auchinleck to do more than stop

The program: We have no single
commander for our fighting forces.
We have no supreme commander for
the United Nations. We have as
yet not been able to install an
Affirmative plan for carrying the war
to Hitler. Our biggest conceptions,
to date, have been financial. We
have been budgetarially magnificent.
Well, our $3.50, 900 100000 of war
appropriations are not to be mini
mized. Poor France was unable to
take enough coppers out of those
wretched little continental change
purses to buy a good war.
Buying the Biggest.
But We are buying the mightiest
Army and Navy in the history of
conflict. These seem, today, to be
unquestionable values; the proof is
that few question them. Yet the
time has come to question them.
The thing we must buy with our
money, in the end, is victory; the
biggest Army in the world, in 1914,
and the biggest Navy, in 1916, while
magnificent, may not be quite the
same as victory. That Is the one
point we have not yet dared to ex-
anime with any care or courage.
Our Army and Navy actually plan
to spend $17O, 900 900 900 in two years.
That is equal to two years OF higher
than-average national income. 1t Is
probably more than can be spent.
1t is almost certainly more than can
be built. It is spending program
20 vast that 1t is choking itself:
making 10 much ammunition that
there Is q shortage of copper for
developing power facilities with
which to make weapons to use the
ammunition; making 80 many ma
chimes for making engines that there
Is = shortage Of steel for engines;
making 50 many naval vessels to
escort cargo vessels that there is a
shortage Of material for cargo ves-
sels. This is the nature OF those
self swallowing steel and other
shortages which have suddenly hit
US this month: they are the short
ages Of production program 50 all
out on 20 many fields simultaneously
that seven geniuses, thinking for
seven days and nights, could not
comprehend the whole Of 1t and keep
its parts In balance.
But Are We Buying Victory?
We are 4 Nation Of quota busters,
which IS to say, . Nation Of chart
lovers; one of our ultimate values
Is = line moving snakily up on a
sheet OF paper covered with little
squares. We have learned to adore
the man who can make that line
move up, regardless OF the cost,
regardless and regardless.
But the costs now showing up are
strange: We have had to freeze
lease-lend Of munitions to IL per
cent of output, to 60 forward with
the program for our own forces.

nomination has faded out fast in
recent weeks. Mr.. Willkie him.
self is now talking about making
4 trip to Russia and on into the
East to observe what is going on
in the war. II he does, 1t Is likely
he will be out of the country dur
ing the gubernatorial campaign.
The opinion has been expressed
that he will issue some kind OF
statement supporting Mr.. Dewey,
or make one speech before the
campaign Is over. This, how
ever. will have to be determined
by Mr.. Willkie, who has not in
the past been friendly to the
Dewey nomination.
Mead to Back Party Choice.
The Republicans naturally are
hoping for some advantage from
the fierce feeling that has arisen
In the Democratic party over gu
bernatorial candidates. Whether
the Bennett Mead contest will
make \ serious dent In the
chances Of either Bennett or
Mead in the general election re-
mains to be seen. Senator Mead
has announced that he would
support the candidate named by
the convention. Mr.. Farley up
to date has turned of questions
fired at him as to his own atti-
tude, laughingly taking the posi-
ton that Mr.. Bennett is going
to be the nominee.
A brisk fight is in prospect in
the Democratic senatorial pri-
mary in New Hampshire. For
mer Gov. Francis p. Murphy
who was 4 Republican when he
was Governor-has filed for the
Democratic senatorial nomina-
tion. Alvin A. Lucier, Democratic
national committeeman for New
Hampshire, also has filed. At
one time 1t was rather supposed
that Mr.. Murphy would be hand
ed the nomination on . platter
and that he might have the sup
port Of the national Democratic
leaders. It appears now, how
ever, that the Democratic Ma
tional Committee Is keeping
hands on in this primary con-
test and that 1t viii support the
winner. Mr.. Lucier is Z former
Mayor Of Nashua. Former Gov.
Murphy Is . man Of wealth and
has had = considerable following
In the past. He is bitterly op-
posed to Senator Bridges, Re-
publican, who Is up for renomi-
nation and reelection. Senator
Bridges has filed for renomina-
ton. An 1lth-hour entry in
the Republican primary against
him Is Arthur Gruenler Of Hills
boro, . war veteran and textile
worker. There seems no reason
to doubt that Senator Bridges
will be Overwhelmingly renomi-
mated.
Senator A. B. Happy) Chan
dler, Democrat. has been tri-
umphantly renominated tn the

mer Representative John Young

I'D Rather Be Right
U. S. Buying Miehtiest Combat Force in History,
But Discovers Statistics Won't Win War

Have our eyes focused so long on
our program that we no longer see
the war? Is a program, which can
be charted, replacing victory in our
minds, because victory Is stubborn
and will not yield to statistical
presentation?
Another price We have had to pay
for our program is (perhaps) to give
up hope of action in 1912; in other
words, We may find we have paid for
our program with year of nom
doing, because the program could
not sew the last button on the last
uniform in time for this summer.
We may find we have let the summer
go and kept the program.
No one may ever know what half
the planes now on our training fields,
and half the engine-steel now being
put into the warships of 46, and half
the copper being poured into NUM-
tions which can't be carried until
we build more ships, would have
accomplished If it had all been
dumped into Europe this summer.
Busy Work Is Not War.
Programs are more stable and
reassuring than risky tries for vic
tory: 1t is easy to forget = world
which does not make sense, and to
follow a program, instead; programs
always are logical until the moment
they fail.
And in the absence Of an adirma-
tive war policy, a program provides
busy work; 1t lets us go through the
motions of war while We are deciding
what kind Of war to hight; 1t is work
we can do before we make q decision.
But II we wait too long, and our
Allies 60, we may be left with the
biggest army in the world all alone
in the world, all finished In time for
the impossible.
This Is our unhappy month. We
are finding out that our problem
cannot be solved on paper. We are
discovering that q statistical victory
over our enemy may not defeat him.
Our program can comfort US no
longer. During these bleak weeks
we have stumbled on the shocking
truth that there is nothing can be
done with a war except fight 1t.
