the Department of Agriculture and

the right thing in this instance. Meat

Much Confusion.
My mail indicates that there is
some confusion in the minds of the
people as to just what the Ruml-
Carlson pay-as-we-earn plan would
do and it is my purpose to clear the
atmosphere.
In the first place it would not have
let anyone out of paying income taxes
this year, next year, or any sue
ceeding year, at least until the tax
payer had died or his income stopped
1 can best illustrate the Ruml-Carl-
son plan by comparing it to string
of box cars, each containing 10 bill
lion dollars in gold which is about
the annual receipts from personal
income taxes. This string of cars is
headed toward the freight house,
which we will call the Federal Treas
ury. One car will be unloaded each
year. The question before Congress
was whether the first car should be
numbered 1912 or 1943. 1t is as
simple as that but many Congress
men, some of whom are afflicted
with Senatitis, profess to believe 9TH
erwise and have done much to add
to the confusion. The plan was lost
in the House because % Republicans
of various shades and hueS joined
with the Democrats, while only 16
Democrats joined us. At this point
want to call attention to the fact that
the lone FL. Congressman from
Minnesota, Harold Hagen, voted for
the Ruml-Carlson plan and in my
opinion that is greatly to his credit
and should be remembered by his
constituents. l say that because the
proposal to place our tax collection
system on a pay-as-we-go basis has
great merit in that it will make us
current in tax payments, thus doing
away with the danger of being COM
PEELED to pay the income tax for a
fat year in a lean year, and we are
going to have some lean years when
this war spending is over.
The Ruml-Carlson plan would have
been of special benefit to farmers and
laborers and was endorsed by The
American Farm Bureau, The Grange,
high officials of The American Fed
Grafton, of Labor, The American Lee
gion and other forward looking Or
CARNATIONS. True, the Ruml-Carlson
plan has two serious defects. l. The
Treasury didn't think of it first. 2.

ming both at home and abroad, that
the Second World War has given a
great impetus to planning thought
and study. The commitment to plan
ming for the postwar period is be-
yond recall, but the process is still in
formative stage. The scene reveals a
host of problems and scores of agen-
cies wrestling with them; many pro-
posals and programs, but few clear
cut blueprints or fully matured plans.
The path to victory and lasting peace
will be laborious and painful one.

A Little Spice

Work horses have done the world
more good than race horses.
If it were not for the burdens of
life, few people would walk steadily.
Any life, that is really useful to
others can never be care-free.
A cottage full of happiness is the
heavenliest place on earth.
Laugh with others and they will
love you, laugh at them and they
will hate you.
A friend is sort of spiritual and
mental brother whom we pick out
for ourselves.
A great misfortune is to have a
fortune without character to con-
troll it.

we are trying to extend. Thus, scarce or rationed protein foods should be extended with more abundant or unrationed protein foods. MIX is a good calender for meat because of its very good protein content. Be- cause milk contains so many nu- trients 1t can well be used as an ex- tender or supplement for a wide va rIety of foods, such as cereals, fish, eggs, poultry and vegetables.
 Milk's The Answer!
 Now there are lots more ways, as you'll agree. Of using milk to extend foods. You can have meat or Vege- table croquettes, baked stuffed vcg- ctableS, timbales, souffles, escalloped dishes; you can have fondues, short cakes, or put ground or cubed meat In milk grav!cs. When you're puzzled about how to stretch foods, remem- bcr milk goes well with everything and everything goes well with milk; And when you add milk to foods you i increase the nutritional value Of the dish very greatly. Wc all know how rich in protein. calcium, vitamins and other minerals milk is, making 1t particularly good as an calender.
 Eggs arc also q good protein food, and can be extended by putting in several tablespoons Of milk when you scramble them. Cheese is an important protein food, and can of- ten be added to cream sauce to give added nutritlonal value and good flavor to meats, vegetables, eggs and so on.
 Butter being rationed, 1t seems wisest to use 1t where you will get the most flavor from it--that is, on bread, on hot vegetables, on pan- cakes, and in any food where the flavor of the butter is an essential part of the dish.
 We've all become pretty much ac- customed to sugar rationing-and now that we're beginning to plan on what fruits to can, we will want to conserve our sugar as much as possible. So, in making cakes, which most of us still do occasionally, don't forget that frosting usually takes as much and sometimes twice as much sugar as the cake itself. So, in making cakes, which most of us still do occasionally, don't for get that frosting usually takes as much and sometimes twice as much sugar as the cake itself. So instead of making an icing-add the re- quired amount of milk to packaged vanilla pudding, bring to a boil, cool and put between the cake layers. It's very good! And much better nutritionally than regular frosting i!
 Surely none of us ever throws away juices from canned fruit-up to now perhaps some lucky member of the family drank it on the spot but you can save it to use in pud- dings, in pudding sauces, or use it for basting meats.
 Imagination
 You know, homemakerS, someone remarked the other day that only the women who lack imagination when it comes to cooking will suffer from rationing! And we really be- lieve that's true. There are endless possibilities for making appetizing and nutritious meals with the ma terials at hand! And the war is a

Theac changing times are bring ing many problems to all of us, and particularly to homemakers. We are really proud of the way home makers are making adjustments to food rationing.

Sometimes this calls for more than ordinary thought and planning-so today we shall discuss the use Of wartime strategy at mealtimc!

Rotn ol Washington, who is in New YorH for the time being. Philadelpnla took second, fifth, sixth and tenth positions. with Charles J. solomon, Sidney Silodor, John R. Crawloro and Mrs. Benjamin M. Colder re. spectively. Richmond took third position with Mrs. J. E. Folllne' Boston fourth with E. N. Marcus and Cleveland ninth with Morry d. Gl,lck. New York had to be satls- fled with a tie for seventh position between Sgt. Morrie Ellis and Sgt' Phil Abramsohn, and a tie TOT tehIi position by Fred Kaplan. ,
 AS a whole, the bridge played lh the tournament this year was very good, but the experts can misplay them, even as you and l. For e%- ample, here is a hand on which four spades was reached at several tables, and then not made, when five was ice-cold.
 The bidding shown occurred against Alvin L. Roth, the winner of the tournament, who held the West cards. The declarer made the mistake of taking three rounds of trumps. If two rounds of trumps were taken, then the king of clubs cashed, small club played to the ace, a club ruffed, then a. trump played to dummy, all the declarer had to do was to lead a club and take 8 discard.

 NEW FAT FORMULA
 Very soon now industrial users of fats, such as butter, shortening, oleomargarine, may obtain added allotments in areas where popula- tions have substantially increased - largely in defense centers. An OPA ruling is already in effect for in- creased sugar allotments for indus trial users in such areas. A formula has been worked out to insure fair distribution in these areas.
