cant, must be presented to the COM

ton, the applicant will be sent to Fort

cation of eligibility becomes invalid,
however, if the applicant is called for

HISTORICAL SOCIETY. '
On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial
by the Editor
What Are You Crying About? ?
Nobody's Shooting at You.

Roane Waring, national commander
OF the American Legion, in addressing
the annual convention of the Califor-
MIA department OF the Legion, dis
cuSSed the postwar world in unmis-
taxable language in terms OF American
interest. His talk was most refresh
ing in view of the numerous discus
Sions now being held, entirely ignor-
ing the vital American interests and
paying all attention to the rehabilita-
ton of foreign lands by American
propagandists of foreign nations to
the exclusion of our own people.
Commander Waring did not mince
words when he spoke of the reckless
and dangerous dissemination of the
hot-air idea of an international police
force foStered by the lovers of foreign
powers and spread by enthusiastic fol-
lowers Of un-American interests with
out any definite declaration of who is
to command it, what that force is 60
ing to fight for and sustain.
He struck home a Knockout blow
when he declared: "I am only interest
ed in a national defense force, an
American army and navy that will
fight for the dictates of our American
judgment, regardless of what any in
ternational court or society Of people
may decide I am not in favor Of
placing the destiny of this America of
ours in the hands Of any international
organization of any kind under any
circumstances. I don't want to let
some foreign group of governments de-
eide what Americas policy shall be,
what Americas financial interests
shall be, whom America will feed,
supply and support. am ready to let
that remain in the hands of the
American people"
The California convention gave
Commander Waring an ovation for his
expression, indicating their approval OF
it, and it was a convention OF men
who once fought in support OF what
he said, convention which saw many
of its comrades die for it. No doubt
all Legionnaires feel the same way
about it, and the millions of men who
are fighting and dieing in this war
have made it clear in their letters and
spoken words that what he said is
what they think
In our opinion-we may be very un-
feeling-is that there is altogether too
much maudl1n sentiment being circu-
lated as to Americas duties to foreign
nations after this war-not yet won
by sob-sisters and paid propagandists.
America is in fight for existence as
a free and democratic country and the
Four Freedoms for Americans. Those
who came here from foreign lands and
have been the recipients OF our mode
of life and prosperity are either
Americans or traitors. There are no
extenuating circumstances. You are
either one or the other.
N A Ia
Hitler's feelings are hurt. The Allies
have failed to inform him from what
direction the invasion Of Germany is
to take place. In consequence he has
ordered all his satellite countries to
furnish thousands of men to hold the
borders against the Allied troops and
to give the Nazis a chance to get out
of reach of the invaders, the same as
Italy, Germany's main ally, who was
left to hold the bag while the Nazis
were saving their hides.

I am sending in two recipes for

The following recipe is for pc

lutely guarantee it. I would sug-
gest, however, that you double the
recipe because it does not make too
much frosting as it is:
= cup brown sugar, firmly packed :
4 cup granulated sugar, Is teaspoon
salt, - cup top milk, l tablespoon
butter. l teaspoon cream.

to cover top and sides of 8-inch
tube cake or tops of two 8-inch
layers. If frosting hardens while
spreading, add little hot cream.
Could some one tell me how they
keep the batter of marble cake
from mixing? The picture of a
marble cake always looks so nice
but my batter always seems to mix
and look more like a spice cake
when it is cut.

GROWING PARSLEY;

(Requested by Mrs. R. B, c.,

(Requested By Mrs. r. B. c.,
Arlington.)
Would the reader who sent in the
idea about growing parsley in a
sponge. tell me what to do about the
mold which is starting to develop on
the sponge? The growing of the
parsley has proved a beautiful ex-
pertinent; and if the mold does not
play havoc with the further growth,
it will soon prove nutritious ex-
pertinent also. Perhaps 1 keep it
too wet by having water in the bot
tom of the bowl? How much water
is advisable?
l have two pineapple tops set in
water and they make a lovely house
green. Roots have grown about
couple of inches long on the g.
month-old pineapple top. I don't
know what happens next, but if any
one has ever done likewise, I would
like to compare notes with them.

that no crust is formed. Use a very

Fer steamer 1 use my turkey
roaster with rack in bottom, so that
cakes do not touch bottom of pan
and burn, and about two inches of
water will do.
Allowing a little room for rising
at top of cake pan, tie two thick
ncsses of heavy oiled paper tightly
over the cake pan to exclude steam.
This does nicely if the paper is we'll
put on. And then steam slowly
over one burner. For one fairly
large. or two small cakes, I make it
this way.

When fruit is high priced and
scarce, the use of pectin is a real
economy. Once one gets used to

go back to the older methods. When
making jellies, keep on hand some
apple juice or cider to exc out any
