THE next time you entertain.
Il whether it's for the young
people home from college on a
spring holiday or for your favorite
service man on furlough, why not
decorate a cake to match your flow
cred china? You'll be sure to win
artistic acclaim from your guests,
for it's a clever trick as well as a
thrifty one to serve refreshments
that double as decorations these
days.
You can count on young people
to have large size appetites, so it's
good hostess technique to include
sandwiches as we'll as cake in your
refreshment menu, and to co-star
them with Holiday Mocha Froth.
It's a fluffy, spicy treat, made from
decaffeinated coffee, so that every
one can relax taut nerves over ex-
ira sociable cups without worrying
over sleeping problems. Remember
that it needs a little extra perking
time to bring out the rich coffee
flavor. You can use unrationed fill
ings for the sandwiches, like chop
ped deviled egg, chopped nuts and
celery, minced green pepper and
cottage cheese, and you can gain
variety by using both whole wheat
and white bread.
When it comes to the flower
decked cake, that's really an easy
matter. Frost it first with white
icing. then add a drop or two of
vegetable coloring to part Of what's
left for the flowers, and a little
green to the rest for stems and
leaves. Put the frosting in a pastry
tube and experiment a little, max
ing a flower on a piece of paper.
You can sketch the design on the
cake with a burnt match stick,

A FIFTH ARMY AIR OBJ
SERVATION POST, Italy -
The surprisingly sturdy Grass
hopper planes - the air OBJ
servation posts Of the Fifth
Army's magnificent artillery -
are winning the battle for the
Allies.
It's artillery that is blasting
the Germans out of the noun
tain strongholds athwart the
plain to Rome. And it's these
grasshoppers which are making
our artillery so deadly accurate
that German prisoners report
that of all the things the enemy
fears, he most fears the United
States artillery.
These planes and their pilots
are doing things which the books
say can't be done. The Army
manuals say that the Grasshop-
pers are not to fly above 600
feet. Above that altitude, these
} unarmed cubs - practically UNI
altered from the standard civil
ian model - lose their single
safety factor, which Is being
able to loose themselves in a
dive to a few feet above the
ground. The books also say that
these air observation posts will
stay at least mile behind our
own lines.
MUST GO HIGH
That's what the books say.
But on this mountainous front
you need altitude to see over
the peaks, and the higher you
90 the closer you have to get
to observe accurately.

Rowing Reporters

The first job was to get the
tiny monoplanes out of the mud
and onto the short narrow strip
of burlap that had been laid as
runway in peanut field a
couple Of miles behind the front.
The mud was too thick for the
planes TO taxi through it under
their own power, so we had TO
lift the tail and literally carry
the ship onto the runway.
We took off and started to gain
altitude. We left the 600-foot
maximum altitude Of the rule
books some 1000 feet below
us. The objective for the big
guns was a road bridge a few
miles behind the enemy lines
lying in a valley behind a high
peak.
To avoid attracting the un-
necessary attention two planes
would cause, we stayed behind,
lowering a few hundred yards
behind the enemy lines, while
the other plane went in cou-
pie of miles.
1t was just as we'll we did.
The other plane was getting
plenty of attention from enemy
ack -ack without our presence to
attract even more hostile curl
osity. Once the ack -ack opened
up on us. You could feel the
light ship bounce with the blasts
which were easily audible even
over our motor.
AS soon as the Air 0. p. was
within spotting distance, Lieu
tenant Savage called his battery,
This is one zero replied the
battery commander. Battery is
ready
This is one four replied
Savage. Fire"
BRACKET TARGET
A seconds pause. Then at the
| instant of fire. This is one zero,
On the way" Then Savage;
Roger (meaning okay). Wait
1t took nearly a minute for
the she'll to arrive. The deep
mud where it landed hit its
flash, but the geyser of smoke
and earth - a hollow, conical
tulip of destruction the size OF
a house, marked the spot.
