What with warm weather, the
Club de Jeudi went completely cold
at last Thursdays dinner party and
the four couples comprising the
membership counted the small num-
er of ration points on the one hand,
the high count Of vitamins on the
other and the all-around excellence
of the dinner and voted new medal
to the well-known amateur chef,
Sam Meredith.
The menu was entirely in keeping
with what men like to cook and also
like to eat, with their ever-loving
wives following along gracefully.
Jellied Green Turtle Soup
Salmon in Mayonnaise
Cucumber Salad

Coffee
Jellied green turtle soup, is, OF
course, simple and easy in this day
and age. While it is q rather try
ing dish to prepare. from the ground
up, it is the simplest soup to serve
when the canned variety is pro-
cured, pushed into the refrigerator
for a few hours and then served
right from the can. And no more
delightful way to start a warm
weather meal.
The properly served cold fish is
another matter-and yet well within
the reach of any fair to middling
amateur. In this case the fish was
an 8-pound salmon, sent as gift
from afar of. But almost any kind
of good-sized, firm fish performs
equally we'll.
There are few simple rules gov
erning the proper boiling of a fish
First Of all. the pan or kettle must
be large enough to let the fish lie
at full length. comfortable and re-
laxed. 1t should rest in a wire
basket or on some sort of rack so it
can be lifted gently from the water
without collapsing. Placed in the
water, there should be just enohgh
water to cover it properly, but no
more Though some may have to be
added in the boiling process. The
water should be we'll seasoned-a
cup OF vinegar or half cup of
lemon juice-a dozen pepper corns,
salt, a couple of bay leaves. A
handful of celery green's will help.
Bring the water just below the boil
ing point and simmer-don't boil

pound to cook a solid and whole

Modern Tom Sawyers' Like to Help Mother With Work
When Instruction Appears to Be Game or Reward

of pies. She was convinced that she
was an artist with them. When
mother had luncheon for four
women friends she gave her daugh-
ter the impression that ice cream
would do for dessert, but apple pie
would be perfection If daughter
could manage it. The result of this
beginning is that she made her
daughter so interested that she be-
came an outstandingly good cook.
Now, at the age of 35, with her
mother no longer living, she is be-
ginning to suspect that mother
probably could make an apple pie as
we'll as she did other things and this
was her method Of interesting her
daughter in the things she should
learn.
The reward for darning the fam
lily socks might be a sewing day for
mother and daughter when a gay
little summer dress was whipped up
by both Of them. To interest brother
IN cooking, turn the dinner over to
the men of the household one night
with rivalry between the male and
female contingents to see who can
do the best dinners. Small daugh-
ter may learn the proper way to
wash her own sweaters and delicate
silk apparel and earn something
new because she is able to make
her present things last with good
care.
Avoid the drudgery of daily tasks
which must be done by making them
interesting, Give the youngsters an
early understanding of the joy OF
accomplishment Let them enjoy
all the companionship and joy of
doing things correctly which brings
its own reward later.

The household arts are in fashion
again. Cooking, sewing and house
keeping, as we'll as dancing and
piano lessons, will be considered
among the graceful accomplish
ments of this generation Of girls.
Even BOYS with an interest in food
may find certain pleasure in
knowing how to cook meat or fish,
make appetizing sauces to go with
them and put together a crisp green
salad Men excel at this.
A smart parent will use all of the
child's natural interest in these
things to help put the lessons across.
Most important, mother should re-
member that children love COM
panionship. They will clean win
dows with mother or polish furnl-
ture for the fun of talking and
laughing with her. Doing it all by
themselves will make it chore
during which they will consider
loves labor entirely lost.
Many a parent cannot quite un-
derstand how her 8-year-old will
love to help the teacher, even
staying after school for an hour
when all the rest of the class are
playing in the sunshine for the
honor of cleaning the blaCkboards or
busting the room, Teacher gives
the schoolroom tasks to the child
that excels the others that day.
The youngster considers her task
reward and she Is not unaware of
her audience in the completion of
her job. Mother might take tip
from teacher and offer to teach the
same 8-year-old how to set the table
correctly the first time she brings
home an "A in arithmetic.
When this time comes make
party of it. Let her select the
prettiest cloth and show her how
precision placement of the silver
makes a pattern on the cloth. Let
her do the pretty things such as the
arrangement Of the flowers for the
Centerpiece and the candle lighting
as we'll as the dull ones of filling the
salt and pepper shakers and not
forgetting the butter knives. When
she has learned to do this well, give
her the honor Of setting the table
for a dinner or luncheon party as
a reward for learning how The
table setting lessons and the feeling
Of important achievement will be
impressed on her mind for all time
A grown woman of our acqualnt-
enCe has just begun to believe that
her mother probably was capable of
making delicious apple pie. At
10 her mother told her that she had
never been able to make good pie
crust She hoped her daughter
would excel at this because there
was nothing the mother enjoyed
more than good apple pie. She sat
at the kitchen table reading the
recipe to her daughter. telling her
how to put the ingredients together.

Admiral Yumumoto

According to Japanese radio an
nouncements, Admiral Isoroku Yama-
moto, who boasted last year of his
intention to dictate peace terms to
the United States in the White House,
has been killed in action. II this be
correct, japan has lost a naval COM
mander in chief who, up to the time
of the Battle of the Coral Sea, had
been looked upon as symbol Of the
best fighting traditions of the Japa-
nese Navy.
Fifty-nine years old, Admiral
Yamamoto had his first taste of
combat in 1904, when he lost two
fingers while serving aboard Admiral
Togo's flagship in the engagement
with the Russians known as the
Battle Of Tsushima. His advance
ment was rapid, reaching a peace
time peak in 1894, when he succeeded
in wrecking the London Naval Con-
ference. It was for this feat that he
was promoted to the rank Of admiral.
Following the attack on Pearl
Harbor, In the planning Of which he
undoubtedly played a prominent role,
his star rose rapidly. Twice he re-
ceived special commendation. once
for his achievements as commander
Of the Japanese naval forces in
Philippine waters and again for his
direction OF the fight which resulted
In the sinking Of the Prince OF Wales

smile on his face, the soldier was
sitting, ecstatically wiggling his bare

a corporal, and surely knew better.
Could there be some hidden explana
ton of the phenomenon?
There was. The corporal, home

been homesick for a mountain. had
followed the example set by the great
Moslem leader and had had the soil
OF New Jersey brought to him
twenty odd pounds of it, enough to
spread and tread until nostalgia was
at least partly licked. The sergeant,
not unkindly, remarked, in a voice as
gentle as sergeant ever uses-"Glad
you feel better, corporal, but sweep it
up and get rid Of it. And for the
love OF Mike, don't ever let any of
these native Californians find out

Their Capital

Brigadier General U. S. Grant, Sd,
chairman of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, is
setting an interesting and helpful
precedent in connection with the
commissions regular, meeting to-
day. He has invited representatives
Of nine national organizations con-
cerned with the fine arts to sit in
with the commission in its discussion
of prewar and postwar Capital City
planning. His invitation follows a
previous request that the organiza-
tions set up committees on the Ma
tional Capital.
The arrangement should stimulate
and maintain new interest in
Washington by national groups
whose members have every right to
assume position of responsible lead
ership in developing the Washington
plan. Some of the organizations
always have maintained committees
on the National Capital. Others, it is
to be hoped, will now do so. The
names of the organizations indicate
the value of the relationship which
General Grant is seeking to establish:
Committee of One Hundred on the
Federal City Of the American Plan
ming and Civil Association, American
Federation of Arts, American Insti-
tute of Architects, Garden Club of
America, American Society Of Land
scape Architects, American Institute
of Planners, American Society of
Civil Engineers, National Sculptors'
Society and the National Society OF
Mural Painters.
Some of these organizations were
actively identified with the move
ment which led to creation of the
Park and Planning Commission and
to enactment of the Capper- -Cramton
Act. All OF them now have a new
objective in working for postwar
development Of their Capital.

and the Repulse off the Malayan
Peninsula.
But these notable accomplishments
marked the high tide of his career.
Within few months the Japanese
Navy was to taste defeat for the first
time in the Coral Sea. Then came
the major disaster at Midway and
the continuing reverses in the Solo
mons area and in the Aleutian
theater. Even though the Japanese
people were never permitted to learn
the full truth of these defeats, they
must have begun to lose faith in the
legend of invincibility which had
been built up around Yamamoto.
And the admiral himself must have
realized long ago that he would never
march into the White House to die
tate peace terms to the United States.
In these circumstances, it cannot be
said that his death aboard one of his
own naval warplanes was an un-
timely one.
