"Tn my humble opinion you
are the biggest laugh In the
United States. The President
doesn't give a damn what you
think. Thank God for that"
Another letter:
Don't you think it's time
some one took ahold and passed
the laws?"
Another:
81 believe the Presidents war
power should be all-inclusive."
And a penny post card bore the
single word:
"Traitor!"
CAUSE FOR FEARS
Senator Tait's face was grim
He said:
"You see on what my fears
are based:
"On the one hand, we have
the obvious desire of the man
on horseback to abrogate unto
himself NIL the functions OF gov
eminent. And we have, together
with that, an increasing willing
ness-even a desire-on the part
OF the people to let him do It,"
What is this dictatorship threat ?
Senator Taft referred to his Sen
ate speech on Monday:
"The Presidents message
seems based on a doctrine %
revolutionary and so dangerous
to the existence of democratic
government In the United States
that 1 cannot let a single day
pass without protesting.
This threat that IL Congress
does not do those things he will
do them without consulting Con-
gress Is an even worse method
Of approaching the problem than
to issue an executive order d.
rectly.
ASSERTS HIS POWER
"The message asserts the
power of the President, because
this country is engaged In war,
and broad powers have been
granted to the President In other
fields, such as priorities, TO fix
prices I'm violation of the statute
passed by Congress for that pur-
pose, and to fix wages and sal
aries In the absence OF any
statute,
"This Il I'm fact an assertion
that the laws of this country can
be made by executive order.
eff the President can do this,
then he can draft men In viola
ton of the CONSUMPTION law, or
outside the CONSUMPTION law"
Senator Taft paused, and ther
said:
"That is not an idle specula-
ton.

"And he replied:

Senator Taft continued:
"That was serious sugges-

A number of requests recently

Among the more recent are sew

Picnic Hambureers

The lovely new face that ma

and early fall entices families
into the out-of doors. III such
appetite-whetting atmosphere,
the man of the house may en-
joy showing his cooking ability
by browning hamburgers on a
picnic grill and serving them
between toasted buns. Meat
patties in split round buns are
substantial enough to satisfy
the most ravenous outdoor
hunger, and are inexpensive
enough to make a big picnic
success on the smallest budget.
For extra zest season ham,
burgers with poultry seasoning,

and for economy, mix in some
fine, soft bread crumbs.
Mold the patties the size of
round hamburger buns, which

TDo Readers Offer
Helpful Recipes .
Two of our readers, to whom we
are greatly indebted for their In
terest and trouble. have sent in two
recipes that we pass along to you
with the assurance that they will be
most welcome. The first, for making
substitute spread for butter, was
prompted by the story that appeared
on a recent food page about making
one pound of butter do the work of
two. This new suggestion is equally
valuable, We feel. Mrs r. r. D. says:
After reading your recipe of the
Magic Spread using butter, gelatin
and milk in the August 13 issue OF
your paper, thought you might be
interested in what our nutrition
class found out about making
spread from enriched margarine.
Since we learned that the mar
garine actually contains as much,
and in some cases more, vitamin A
than butter, we felt that we were
not sacrificing food to save pennies.
My own family flatly refused to eat
margarine until T prepared it this
way, but now they like it almost as
much as they do butter, yet the
cost Is much smaller.
Simply let the margarine soften
at room temperature, then add COL
oring, one or two teaspoons of sugar
according to taste). Place over
hot water and add fresh or undiluted
canned milk, taking care not to let
the margarine melt, merely soft
enough to absorb the milk. Beat
with rotary egg beater until every
drop is absorbed. No gelatin is
needed, and the result is a delicious
creamy spread which is easy to slice
even when cold. 1t should be kept
in the refrigerator when not in use.
Small families may wish to halve

ceiyed his brother, he deceived his
uncle: and he deceived himself.
Jacob was smart; a representa-
tive of that class of persons to Wnom
smartness means more than SINGER
itv. But his very cleverness entangled
him in a succession of troubles. The
Jacob chapters in Genesis are fuller
of life and action and human inter-
est than any novel.
The one noble quality OF Jacob
during his adventurous 20 years
in Haran was his sincere love Tor
Rachel. He offered to serve her
father seven years for her; only to
find that Uncle Laban had switched
brides on him, forcing him to marry
first Rachels older sister, the sore
eyed Leah. The record of the jealousy
and strife of these two rival wives
would satisfy the most romantic
reader of hectic fiction. Poor Jacob
was caught in the midst OF per-
petual family quarrels, and the cum
ming of the grasping uncle Laban.
But throughout all, Jacobs love for
Rachel persisted.
A Scared Man.
AS Jacob had run away from
Beersheba, in fear of his wronged
brother Esau, so fright haunted his
days in Haran. BY trickery, he had
become more prosperous than La
ban. But menacing clouds began to
appear on the faces Of the uncle
and cousins. So flight was again in
order for wandering Jacob. He
sneaked away, with his wives and
children and many possessions, and
got three days start of Laban, who,
however, eventually caught up with
the fugitives.
There was high quarreling, with
loud words and recriminations and
counter determinations. One griev-
ance Of Laban was that the house.
hold goods, or terephim, had been
stolen. Rachel was the thief, but
she successfully concealed her loot.
After the hot fury Of the quarrel
was over, Laban proposed a conve-
nant. 1t was between two men who

ficially. as three very human in
dividuals, but the inspired record
regards them as the beginning of a
new race and a new manner OF life.
Their seed were to continue as a
power and as a problem throughout
the ages, and newly acute in our
day.
1t is awesome to contemplate the
vast consequences wrapped up in
the character and conduct of indi-
viduals. The three patriarchs left
their permanent impress upon a
whole people; just as today the
world problem is affected by the
slackened morals of a recent gen.
Grafton, as well as by the sturdy
godliness of our remoter FORE
fathers. He is a shallow thinker
indeed who does not perceive the
vital connection between the man
her of life of people and its ma
tional destiny. All the springs of
history rise from the nature and
behavior of individuals.
There had to be great change in
the Patriarch Jacob before the
promised destiny of his line could
be fulf1lled-just AS there must be a

did not trust each other. They

STANCE perversity of understanding
the name "Mizpah" and the oath
are now used as term of tender
remembrance and oenediction be-

restrain you from practicing any
more of your meanness."
One Enemy After Another.
With Laban off his mind, Jacob
had to face the prospect of meet
Ing his brother, as he moved into
Esau's territory. He sent messen-
gers only to learn that Esau was on
the road toward him with 400 men.
Panic filled the timorous heart of
Jacob. He divided his outfit into
two parts, that one might be saved
should the other fall before Esau.
Like most of us in extremity. he
turned to the God of his fathers.
and with contrition and confession
pleaded for deliverance from Esau.
Then he planned a succession of
ENJOYS with rich gifts to 90 one
after the other to Esau, and over
Whelm him with bounties. The de-
vice succeeded; lmpulsive Esau was
not one to hold grudge per-
manently.
Wrestling Jacob.
In the midst of these negotiations
Jacob had an experience which
changed his whole life. It was at
the Ford of the Brook Jabbok, s
site l have visited There was no
sleep for Jacob, as he anxiousl,
awaited news from Essau: and we
may picture him walking, fearfully
and restlessly, outside of his en-
campment.
There he encountered a man, who
Wrestled with him until dawn. The
story is mysterious, and it personi-
fies all the soul-struggling expert
ences of mankind.
Something always follows when
man comes to grips with God
desiring a spiritual boon so greatly
that he will not yield until he re-
ceives 1t. In Jacobs case it was
the great change, from his old ma
ture to a new. He got a new name
with the blessing. Israel" a prince
with God, instead of jacob" the
supplanter.
The midnight encounter was one
OF the turning points of history
for it put the impress of God upon
Jacob and his line. And only God
mastered men can master the new
world that awaits us. With all oul
shrewd comments upon the wal
and upon postwar problems there
seems to be a singular lack of dis
cernment of the profound basic
truth that only the help of the living
God can give victory and a perma
nent peace. We need desperately
to reinforce the prayer front.
