Poles in Middle East
Spelling for Action,
Sikorski Declares
Army Will Fulfill Duty
To Mother Country as
Soon as Possible, He Says
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 28.-Polish Pre-
mier Wladyslaw Sikorski asserted in
a broadcast from Beirut heard here
last night that the Polish Army in
the Middle East is spelling for
action"
Completing an inspection tour Of
the Polish Army in the Levant
States, Premier Slkorski said:
They are fired with a desire to
measure themselves with the an
cient enemy of Poland.
The resolute Polish soldier is we'll
aware that the path to his country
leads through fighting and that he
will have to open it for himself
with his blood. He yearns to start
this struggle as soon as possible
The British Ministry of Informa-
ton heard the broadcast.
Army Will Fulfill Duty.
I'm expressing my deepest tribute
to the attitude of these troops and
my full confidence in their COM
manders, I hereby state that the
Polish Army in the Middle East
will fulfill it's duty toward the
mother country" Premier Sikorski
said.
In view OF these realities. how
ridiculous is the slanderous enemy
propaganda which dares to main
tain that the Polish Army in the
East had rebelled, that it is disin-
tegrating for the lack of arms, and
that it does not wish at all to
fight"
In an apparent reference to the
break in relations between the Soviet
Union and Poland Premier Sikorski
said: Determination to smash the
first enemy of mankind above every
thing else has not only been
maintained, but even strengthened.
1t has not been weakened in the
least by recent regrettable events in
the camp Of the United Nations"
The Soviet had accused some
Polish commanders Of stalling in
sending the army to the front. The
army was formed in Russia from
the defeated army OF Poland'S 1888
debacle.
Punishment Promised.
Referring to conditions inside
Poland. Premier Sikorski said the
country was passing again through
a veritable hell The deaths OF
hundreds Of Poles bestially mur-
dered in the last four weeks have
created profound impressions.
These crimes will not 60 un-
punished. Germans wallowing in 2
sea of blood cannot count upon pity
and noble sentiments of the Allies
when the hour of retribution comes
Its instrument will be. above all, the
Polish soldier"
The Premier said, Il know thai
latest developments have created
anxiety" adding, II should like
therefore, to assure you that there
will be no division of Europe into
spheres against the will of inter.
ested parties"

Some Sponiords Appear

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, June 28.-The
German newspaper Frankfurtel
Zeitung published an editorial broad
side yesterday against Generalissimc
Francisco Frances Spanish govern
ment, declaring 1t was doing hardly
anything decisive" to check talk of a
monarchial restoration, and also was
tolerating Allied attempts to bring
Spain Into active cooperation with
the western powers"
Spain is flooded with "the widest
rumors and promises" said the
Madrid correspondent of the Nazi
newspaper in a telephoned dispatch
which was placed on the front page
The Frankfurter Zeitung's signifi-
cant reaction to the Spanish situa-
ton followed closely the disclosure
that 28 Spanish monarchists had
asked Franco to restore the throne
to the late King Alfonso's son, Prince
Juan.
The German correspondent de-
clared Spaniards appear to be rely
ing on Allied assurances given Spain
when North Africa was occupied.
Attempts are being made to
bring them into active corporation
with the Western powers" he said
Some Spaniards, he added, ap-
peared to forget the civil war In
which the Axis aided Franco and
his Nationalists, thereby making it
easy for the Allies Ito fill empty
heads with propaganda, false re-
ports and speculation"
This propaganda, he asserted, was
circulating throughout every class
in Spain, and was done mostly un-
der diplomatic protection"
The correspondent said religious
and monarchial circles especially
were receptive to 'rumors about
supposed arrests Of Fascists, gen.
erals and of future liberal eco
non1ic order"
without disputing that a feeling
exists that Spaniards are more pro-
Allied today than ever before, the
Nazi correspondent urged Spaniards
to examine their conscience and
change their policy"

Bride, Maid
Should Be
Of an Age
Bv Emily Post

If the plan has been made, I'm
sorry to spoil it, but the idea of a
matron of honor who is 80 years
older than the bride really will not
do at all. The question asked is:
DO you think it will be all right for
an aunt over so years old to be ma
tron of honor for bride who is not
yet %? There is good deal of dis
cussion about this, and strong differ
ence of opinion"
It is hard to believe that this ques-
ton can have been asked seriously
but, on the chance that it is, must
say that matron of honor 10 years
older than the bride is seldom ad-
visable and that this difference. null
tiplied by three can be seriously in
tended Is hard to believe. On the
other hand, If the intended question
is merely how could a much-loved
aunt be brought into the wedding
picture" this might be not-at-all
difficult problem to devise.
Let us say, for example, that the
ceremony is to take place at home

Aunt Jane would naturally be stand
Ing at no great distance from the
bride as the service begins. The bride
having no attendant to take her
bouquet, might turn and, in an ap-
parently spontaneous gesture, hold
her bouquet out to her aunt. The
aunt could then take a few steps
forWard-near enough to reach it
easily-and then remain where she
Is, holding the bouquet.
Or, If it is to be a small church
wedding and the aunt has the 'front.'
aisle seat, the bride might also. at
the beginning of the service, before
ascending the chancel steps. turn
toward her aunt and hand her the
bouquet. But that a woman who
is so much older should actually take
over the part of the matron of
honor and walk up the aisle ahead
OF the bride and then walk down
the aisle again would surely be
thought unsuitable by every one
present, particularly so by all of the
brides own age.

Little Girls as Easy to Bring Up as Boys

What can one expect from a
little girl of ten?" Puzzled mothers.
who have been used to dealing
mainly with sturdy little boys, want
to know just what sort of a child
is a ten-year- girl. What are her
characteristics and just how is one
to deal with her?
There are differences of think
ing, behaving and being between
little boys and girls but there are
many likenesses too. The like
nesses outweigh the differences. If
one knows how to make a boy of
10 happy and manageable at home,
a little girl need hold no great prob
lem. She is as much like her brother
in fundamentals as he is like his
fellows.
Little girls have good appetites.
just like little boys. They like the
same things and they enjoy
candy and cookies and treats quite
as much. They like to play, too,

their own imaginations. A little
girl OF ten can do anything a boy
OF her age and height and weight
and intelligence can do, and. more
than likely, do 1t better, for she is
usually quicker, neater in her ad-
justments and more ambitious to
excel.
Her moral character is like her
brothers, in embryo She will make
all the mistakes any boy will make,
and If we'll trained and taught, will
correct them as speedily and as thor
oughly as he. A child is not born
with moral code. He acquires it
by experience and through educa-
ton.
One caution about little girls
must be observed. They are
quicker, have great powers of imi-
tation, strong desires for praise,
and are more easily forced into
attitudes than their brothers. This
makes them appear deceitful. Their
natures are much like boy natures
but they will take on color from
their surroundings, yield to au-
thority, try hard to please others,
when their brothers will go their
own unregenerate ways. Under the
still surface they are just the same
eager, healthy, noisy, wayward
youngsters. Don't be deceived and
don't make them deceitful by pres
sure on their growing personalities
Correct only the fundamental, es-
sential things and let time and ex-
perience do the rest.
1t is safest to go on the assump-
ton that little girl is much like
a little boy in all that counts most
in healthy childhood.

Who Lived in a Shoe

That dear old lady of Mother
Goose days will have nothing on us
this winter. With gas rationing,
limited transportation and active
war work schedules, we're all, more
or less, going to live in shoe. And if
you choose the wrong one, you won t
know what to do. Before you part
with that precious irreplaceable
coupon, think long about what
you're going to spend it on.
Be sure that the shoe you buy with
your No. 18 is shoe that fits into
the activities of your life. For most
of you that means one that can take
all your running around as tirelessly
as you do. Unless you already have
two or three pairs of casual walking
shoes, don't indulge in dress shoes
no matter how pretty-that you
can wear only occasionally. The
dress shoes you have carried over in
your wardrobe can be pressed into
extra duty more easily now than a
dress shoe that you buy now can
be made do heavy duty later on.
Walking shoes that are inter-
changeable-that is, those that may
be worn with your tailored clothes
as well as your softer dresses-are a
much better buy than the run
around sports-shoe which is more
definitely keyed to one type clothes.
The best buy of all is the best shoe
you can buy-always a good rule in
buying, better than ever this year.
A good well-fitting shoe will pay you
large dividends in fit, comfort-and
fiattery Chats right, we've never
yet seen gal who could look CLAM
orous while her feet hurt0
Washington's shops offer wide
selection of good happy medium"
shoes that are not too dressy, not
too tailored to do double duty. One
such beauty is photographed on this
page-a fine example of a shoe that
will do just as well with your soft
suits as with your hard-working
business clothes. Another shoe you're
sure to like thousands and thou
sands have already bought it from
coast to coastD is low-heeled pump
with slight uprising lip over the
instep that fore-shortens the shoe.
You can also have it with a military
heel-in calf, suede or lizagator,
which is lizard with markings that
look like alligator.

Ready-to-Use
Products Are
Available
By Edith NJ. Barber.

In the five years before war con-
ditions changed the food picture
there was a great increase in ready
to-use products which, while well
coined by most housekeepers, were
received most enthusiastically by
the businesswoman housekeeper
who must prepare meals in short
time.
Not only did the number increase,
but the quality of most of them i'm
proved. While few new products of
this type have come into circulation
recently, most of the old ones are
still available.

find what you wish everytime you
market, but checking today at sew

and waffle, gingerbread and pastry
mixes, and a number OF puddings
Of the blanc mango type, as well
as the favored gelatin all available
Mayonnaise is a little scarce toward
the end Of each month, but new
stocks are expected. Small jars
are easier to find than large jars
From the biscuit mix, I recently
prepared quick "Pizza" which
made good main dish for the
evening meal. Bacon corn bread is
another suggestion. In its prepara-
ton thinly sliced bacon squares
can be used. The Pizza demands
cheese in its preparation which
makes 1t pretty good meat sub
stitute. With the corn bread, I
suggest using a cheese sauce with
the vegetable chosen to serve with
1t. Either tomatoes or string beans
are delicious with a sauce favored
In this fashion.

directions for drop biscuits. Place
dough In creased 9-inch pie pan,
