WOMAN,S REALM
SALADS IN
THE BUDGET
Many Victory Gardens Planned to
Yield Tempting Greens for Va
riety Of DelectabIe Dishes-Re-
cipe for Golden Salad Given.

Salads should fill a more impor-
tant place than ever on our tables
We have planned our Victory gar
denS with an eye to salad greens
and because of that our gardens Of
fer countless ideas for salads With
rationing at hand, salads are great
helps in either stretching or SUBJ
shutting rationed foods. In warm
weather there is no meal more
pleasing to the eye or taste than
one planned around a salad. In
salads we use all kinds of fruit, veg
etables, meat, fish, eggs, cottage
cheese, and fowl. incidentally, they
provide excellent ways of using up
left overs. There is no food to waste
these days!
In making salads one of the main
requirements is that all foods to be
used shall be cleaned and thorough
ly chilled, or as cold as possible.
There are number of greens that
we have come to think of as gar
nishes, but really they should be
eaten in salads. To be specific, gar
den lettuce, romaine, celery tops,
parsley, spinach, watercress, kale,
endive and carrot tops are some of
these vitamin and mineral filled
foods.
Tossed salads are mixed lightly
with the Seasonings in a large bowl.
1t is always festive to toss the salad
at the table and serve from the bowl,
or pass; or it may be mixed and then
arranged on Individual plates before
bringing to the table.
There is no exact rule for COM
binations or proportions, but here
are few combinations that may
offer new idea or tow. Too often
we hesitate to combine vegetables
and fruits in salads. An excellent
dinner salad is one made of sliced
oranges and sliced onions. Arrange
them alternately on plates or in a
bowl on shredded greens. Serve with
French dressing.
A tasty yet hearty salad is this
combination mixed with mayon-
naise-cooked peas, chopped sweet
pickles, and American cheese cut in
cubes.
The last suggestion is one that
will be welcomed in stretching our
meat allowance:
Golden Salad
s hard cooked eggs, chopped fine
2 tablespoons chopped sweet pickle
1-2 green pepper, chopped
l tablesoon parsley
3-4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of IL lemon
5 drops tabasco sauce
IL teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients together. Add
the mixture to: tablespoon gelatin
softened in IL cup cold water; then
dissolved in 1-2 cup boiling water.
Put into salad mold. Chill. Serve
on shredded green's, garnish with
tomato quarters.

Today's had was taken from the
qualifying rounds of the recent
Vanderbilt Tournament. Mrs. M. D..
Rothschild of New York, known to
bridge players all over the country
as the mother" of contract bridge,
loves to bid, and she picked up the
North hand. 1t is difficult TO say
what the correct bid on it should
be, but III tell you what Mother"
Rothschild bid she opened the
contract at five diamonds. East bid
five spades. which South promptly
doubled. West then bid six hearts,
and when this got around to South,
it was doubled.
In the play of the hand, East
and West had to lose spade, two
hearts, one diamond and a club
down four. OF course Mother"
Rothschild could not have made
her bid of five diamonds, as she
would have to lose two clubs and
diamond. Freak hands of this
type are dealt only occasionally
and It is always problem to
know just how To handle them.
About all I can say is, bid as
the mood suits you and hope for
good luck. If East held the queen
of clubs, instead of the jack, and
one more trump and one spade
fewer and the ace of spades in
stead of the king queen jack -
then the contract might have been
made.

VOLUNTARY SAVINGS BEST

While Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau has insisted on adherence
to the system of voluntary investment
in war bonds, other fiscal advisers of
the President have been beating the
drums for compulsory savings as a
means of producing more revenue and
taking up excess purchasing power.
The conflict of viewpoint invites a
comparison of the relative merits of
voluntary versus compulsory savings,
says the Newark, N. J., Evening
News, which goes on to say:
"There has been greeat deal of
agitation outside, as well as inside, the
Administration for the latter system,
but the arguments for it seem to ig-
more two fundamental considerations.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-08-27

One is as to which plan would be like
ly to raise the more money and the
other is as to how compulsory savings
might be fairly imposed
"As to the first consideration: Sales
of "E" bonds are currently averaging
$750,000,0OO a month, exclusive of
bonds sold during the war loan drives.
At that rate a minimum of $9,000,000,-
900 worth of "E" bond sales for 1943
may be counted on. Assuming rate
of 10 percent, what might compulsory
savings be expected to yield? The
answer is furnished by the Govern
ment's estimate that salaries and
wages this year will total 5,000,-
100000, making the compulsory yield
about $7,500,o00,00O. On the basis of
these figures it is hardly necessary to
point out that the present average
monthly sales are in excess of 10 per
cent of monthly average salary and
wage earnings.
Under a compulsory savings plan,
the minimum set for the individual to
save would most likely become his
maximum. In other words, he would
do what he was compelled to do, but
no more -.
From some of the talk in favor of
compulsory savings as a means of
siphoning off the billions of excess
spending power in the hands of in
dividuals, it might be supposed that
these billions were fairly evenly dis
tributed. AS matter of fact, they are
spread for the most part among about
a third of the nations families--those
with increased earnings ranging from
100 to 400 percent, using the years
1886 to 1889 as a base period. For
these compulsory savings would be a
deterrent to unwarranted estrava-
gances. For those who have had little
or no increase in pay and who may
not be given more, compulsory savings
would mean not mere hardships, but
disaster in thousands of cases

DRAFTING OF TWO
MARYLAND MARRIED
MEN HELD ILLEGAL

Baltimore (ILNS).-In a decision
of national Importance, Federal Judge
w. Calvin Chestnut held illegal the
drafting of two Maryland married
men while sufficient volunteers and
single men were still available to fill
their local boards quota.
The decision emphasized that the
ruling would not prevent later and
proper induction when available
single men and volunteers had been
exhausted.
Judge Chestnut held that Stanley
Gilmer Bayly, 81, and Roland Frank
Bevins, 35, had been illegally drafted
by their Pocomoke City local draft
board and thus were entitled to be re-
leased. Both men have been married
for some time.
The Judge ruled that the local board
had Intentionally disregarded" regu-
lations and directives by National
Selective Service headquarters, In
that there was a sufficient pool Of
single men at the time Of the mems
induction. The induction, therefore,
the court held, twas legally arbitrary
and capricious."
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-08-27

"The conclusion that energies
most clearly" the brief said,
"seems to be that all stable sys-
TENS of labor relations are based
on voluntary agreement between
the principal parties concerned
that is, the employers and work
ers' organizations-to collaborate
on the regulation of conditions of
employment"
This would make glad the heart of
Gompers, who declared in his most
famous advocacy of the voluntary
principle that 'no lasting gain has
ever come from compulsion."
In some cases where there was not
voluntary collaboration, the ILO
found, governments had intervened
''in the interests of social peace and
of the community in general to pro-
tect the development of collective bar
gaining"
The brief pointed out that the effect
of legal recognition of collective
agreements was to bring them within
the class of recognized contracts
binding on the parties. In this way, it
said, employment and wage conditions
in the agreements became minimum
standards which could only be depart
ed from to provide conditions more
favorable to the workers.
Pierre Waelbroeck and l. Bessling
of the ILO Labor Conditions Section
presented the brief, which free labor
movements will undoubtedly cite in
support of the voluntary principle.
The Swedish paper "My Dag" men
tions some of the latest acts of sabo-
tage in Denmark, adding the remark
that the Danes concentrate on efforts
which will annoy and hamper the Ger
mans rather than on bloodshed. Ut
is evident that in the matter of blood
shed the Germans could soon excel
In July, for instance, these sabo-
teurs blew up a large movie house
which the Germans used for propa-
ganda films; an important railway
bridge near Aarhus was blown up; the
machinery of the biggest factory of
railway-cars was blown up, stopping
all production; transformation in the
Esbjerg electricity works was de-
stroyed so that southwest Jutland
since then has had 80 percent less
current than usual; some German bar
racks near Esjberg, temporarily
empty, were burned to the ground.
These are only few instances that
could be multiplied many times.

FEDERAL BILL ESSENTIAL

The National Committee to Abolish
the Poll Tax points out that the poll
tax has been repealed in every state
where it is not deeply embedded in the
state constitution. In Ala b a m a
changes of the poll-tax requirement
in the constitution calls for a three
fifths vote of both houses of the state
legislature, then vote by the states
qualified electors" namely one-tenth
of the potential voters, and those
largely controlled by party machines
Other states have similar or harder
conditions. That is why a Federal bill
is essential.
President Roosevelt, Wendell Will
kie, William Green and other response
BILE leaders of the nation have called
for the abolition of the poll tax as one
of the greatest single barriers to
American war unity The poll tax
keeps in position of unwarranted
power bloc of Congressman who are
not answerable to the people-Con-
gressmen who in many cases do the
most to promote disunity.
The poll tax keeps from millions of
citizens the experience of genuine
democratic processes-a fact used ef-
fectively by the Axis to discredit and
dishonor us among our friends and al
lies. The Importance of the poll-tax
issue was recognized when in the last
Congress, the poll tax requirement
was abolished for men in the military
services.
In the coming session of Congress
the same logic calls for complete and
uncompromising abolition of the poll
tax for all Americans as war need
and war obligation. Ten million Amer
leans must be given the right to vote
