didn't intend to miss a plane being
off herding a bunch Of milk cows
through a jungle, but I thought
there was no use being unreason-
able now. After all, fifty carabao

several days.
Back at the quarters I found an
old navy captain who'd arrived the
day before-used to be in charge of
the industrial department at Cavite.
He listened to my story, and Mac
Arthur's promise, and then said,
The way it looks, I don't think I'm
getting out Then he talked about
the thirty years he'd spent in the
navy, all of them training so he
would be useful in case of war, and
you could see it was discouraging
for him to end like this-apparently
forgotten by the country he had
wanted to serve. What had his life
been for?

here where we could see these vic

They were all japanese. I didn't
know it would be worse when I got
back in the States. Here the enemy
have been marching steadily on in
every hemisphere, taking more ter
ritory and more islands, and yet If
even at one point we are able to
check or repulse an attack, the silly
headlines chatter of victory.
SCI went to bed sick as the silky
voiced commentator again repeated
his account of our victory, when all
out here knew we had only expend-
ed ourselves in the hope that it
might slow down a japanese victory,
and we had failed even in this.

New Brides Need Food-Buying Skill

After the honeymoon is over, and
brides are settled down to cooking,
they will find real ingenuity required
to plan meals for two without vast
ing food or letting menus become
monotonous. Home economics spe-
.ialists at Ohio State university say
even though the young homemaker
shops on a small scale, she should
use care in making purchases and
N selecting food.
1t will be advisable for the young
cook to make a record Of the num-
Der of persons a certain amount OF
TODD viii serve. For instance, one
pound of prunes yields 10 to II
servings, one pound of broccoli, two
to three servings; a quart of sauer-
kraut, five to SIX servings; and one
pound of ground meat serves five
persons.
Z the homemaker finds large
an of peaches or other fruit is the
most economical to buy, she can
use part of the fruit as a salad with
cottage cheese make a shortcake
for dessert the next day, and serve
with toast for breakfast on another
day. By planning meals this way,
a few cents can be saved by buying
larger cans of fruit instead of small
cans.
Fortunately, there are some foods
almost made to order for the family
Of two. Egg dishes can be made to
ut a group of any size. Chops, cut
lets, ground meat, stewing meat,
sausage, bacon, or liver are eco
nomical cuts for the small family.
Many markets sell chickens cut into
sections so the homemaker can buy
as many choice pieces as she wants.

Ancient Fishing Methods
Still Prevalent In Malta

Precisely as did their forebears
in biblical days, the inhabitants of
the quaint fishing villages of Mar
sa and Zurrico, on the island of
Malta, in the Mediterranean, today
follow the life of the fisherman for
their livelihood.
Many of the old fishing methods
employed IN the early days are In
use today. The fishermen use a
peculiar type of trap attached to
their boat, instead of the nets COM
monty employed.
Fishermen of Malta are happy,
now that the Allies dominate the
Mediterranean. No longer do they
have to fear the Axis aerial at
tacks to which they were subject
ed day after day before the rout
of Rommel in Africa.

sary. Roasts must weigh at least
three pounds If they are to be cooked
without undue shrinkage. Leftover
beef may be used In hash, sliced and
heated in barbecue sauce, or ground
and mixed with celery, onion, and
mayonnaise for a sandwich spread.
Leftover pork or veal can be served
cold, shredded for chop suey, or
diced and mixed with rice and vege-
tables to make one-dish meal, or
used to stuff peppers.
Even steak may be a problem.

closest to the two-serving size. But
if a larger steak is bought, the less

ground for hamburger steak, or
made into meat balls to serve with
spaghetti.
Vegetables can be changed on

sauce, cheese sauce, or hollandaise
sauce. Small heads of cabbage and
caulifower can not always be OBJ

or beets may be too large. Part of
these can be used as hot dish one
day, and as a salad the next. They
will lose none of their flavor by be-

As a final point in simplifying the
cooking-for-two problem, the home

When melting chocolate, use a

Juice to rice the next time you

George Vas Craciously
Willing to Hid Hliterafes

Tired after difficult day, the
American congressman handed
the menu to George, the colored
waiter, and said: Here, just bring
me a good meal"
He put a generous tip on his
plate, and good meal, indeed, a
very good meal, was served In
due time.
When it was over the satisfied
diner gave large tip as good-by
gesture. The walters eyes grew
big, then leaning over the chair
of the solon, he said confdentially:

Postal Rates We're High

Fifty cents was the charge for

Oregon to Missouri in 1916. But
In 1848 mail service established IN

delivered, the addressee had to

Great Outfelds
We get this query from a sergeant
who is out to settle another of those
acrimonious arguments about the
aIl-time greats" of baseball:
What were the greatest outfeld
combinations"
Here are a few to consider
Old Cubs-around I906-07-Sheck-
ard, Holman and Schultz.
Tigers Cobb, Crawford and
Veach.
Red Sox-Lewis, Speaker and
Hooper.
Yankees - Ruth, Meusel and
CoOmbs.
Cardinals - Musial, Moore and
Slaughter.
There may be others just about
as good, but none better. From this
list the greatest defensive outfeld
was the 1912 Boston outfit that car
ried Duffy Lewis, Iris Speaker and
Harry Hooper.
The two strongest assaulting out
field brigades were Cobb, Crawford
and Veach plus Ruth, Meusel and
COMBS.

Dudley Roberts, a leading golfer

tracks, all the present ball games,
all our football games and all the

What has Mexican baseball got
that we haven't got?" I asked.
"Just one little trifing detail"
Mr.. Roberts replied. "Mutuel ma
chimes and bookmakers who oper-
ate batter by batter and inning by
inning. You can make a bet on ev-
cry man coming to bat, the result
of any inning or on the full game
as the odds change from time to
time"
$50 far the race tracks have out
drawn baseball through weekdays in
the United States. Can you imagine
what would happen if the ball parks
could follow the Mexican system and
introduce the machines and the
bOOkies?"
We can also imagine what would
happen to Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands.
We have a vague idea the Judge
wouldn't care for this Mexican sys-
tenn in American baseball. Not very
much.
