his marriage proposal by cable; and they were married by proxy.
 That's probably the last word in making the best of whatever TO- nance the war affords, But in lesser degree it is what thousands of American women are doing-giv- ing up their ideas of what love ana marriage should be like and accept~ ing the best substitute that can be worked out.
 Perhaps many of them would wait if they knew when the war would end. But to young folks in love. that time seems unbearahly distant. SUBSTITUTE WELCOME
 So, they marry in wartime ana take whatever happiness and sec urity they can find. It isn't the best. But when the best can't be had, hue man beings are quick to accept sub. stitutes.
 Is it any harder to understand why young folks, unable to have . secure peaeetime marriage, will accept Q war marriage (even one by proxy) than that some Bostonians. unable to buy as much beef as they want, are eating horse meate
 It's an inelegant comparison-ana one romanticists won't care for. but 1t is q reminder that when war cuts into our lives we make the best of what we CAN have, in love even AS in food.

You know, we've decided here m the Yankee Kitchen, that we don't mind one bit being asked to go easy on the meat-especially when there are so many delicious ways to cook tripe!
 We gave you last week, the standard, quick way to cook tripe; and this week, we are giving you by request, the famous recipe for Tripe Ia Mode de Caen. This comes from France, where tripe cooking is an art; and this is the gourmet's way of having it.

 Blanch tripe by pouring boiling water over it. Then line the bottom of a deep casserole with bacon and pork. Lay the drained tripe over it, and with enough broth to cover this and all the other ingredients which should be placed on top of the tripe. Cover it tightly and seal it with some four paste. Then bake in a slow oven for about 6 hours. Serve with fluffy, roast potatoes. and green peas. Delicious!
 There are going to be a lot of people dropping i'm these next few days of holidays, you know: and we Yankees do like to serve our guests with food when they come Co see us. Now. suppose people drop in and you ~havent a thing in the house to eatis We'll. you have some bread. don't you? And some plain American cheese. Why not serve them a savoury Yankee Rabbit?

 Spread some thick slices of bread generously with prepared mustard and brown in a very hot oven.

Next. lay slices of peeled. cDred, and sliced apples over the bacon. Return it Co the oven until the cheese melts. Serve it very hot.

NEW YORK. May 2.-Your neigh
borhood junkman is practically a
general now.
II the United States Is going to
win the war with the help of scraps
from backyards and attic, you'd
better salute your local salvage deal
er the next time he comes by-and
invite him in.
Herbert L. Gutterman. chief of
the Bureau of Industrial Conser-
vation's salvage section. explained
why the junkman has been elevated
to new high in the economic
stratum:
l. Uncle Sam needs all kinds of
waste paper, old rags. scrap metal
and used rubber to keep his war
machine running. But Uncle Sam
hasn't any way to get these scraps
to the factory.
2. The junkman is General No. l
in this sigantic collection Job. He
has the horse-drawn cart, or the
truck, that makes it possible for
scraps to get from your backyard
to the nearest factory's melting pot.
Some cities have organized collec-
ton drives, but the junkman knows
his business best.
3. Hundreds Of thousands of

tionally, thousands OF tons of needed

IN uniform comes to pick it up.
by all means" said Mr.. Gutter
man, sell, or even give away this
salvage to the junkman. But don't
hoard 1t, or the United States may
have too much, too late.
Another thing-there's a little
misunderstanding about tin cans.
Only three de-tinning factories are
at work on this problem in the
United States today. One is located
in the New York area, another in
Pittsburgh and the third in San
Francisco.
