HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, AUGUST p

Good and evil planetary aspects contend today which may be un- favorable for certain phases of United Nations operation on the European Continent.
 HEART AND HOME. Among the people Of the United States a spirit of determined effort that im- plies sacrifice will prevail and with the coming of Autumn the reali- ties of our part in the war; will be widely felt.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS. Again a new global monetary standard is prognosticated Banking is to be conducted according to novel prin- ciples that will benefit the aver age wage earner as well as the merchant or manufacturer, the capitalist or speculator.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Although partisan rivalries obscure many virtues of candidates in the Fall elections, astrologers predict that 1 before the end of the campaign suspicion of greed and selfishness, malice and hate will diminish.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAI s : Knowledge of the just and human treatment accorded Axis prisoners will spread to civilians in enemy countries and gradually have great influence in favor of the United Nations. Warning is given, how ever, of treacherous peace move ments.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair ly good fortune. Quarrels may be easily started and should be care fully avoided
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be talented and successful in life but they are likely to suf- l fer through their affections

 American newsmen, trying to tell the real story of what is happening in the Near East, run up against not only British censorship but, not long ago. they were called in by Major Gen Barney Giles, U. S. Commander in Cairo, who proceeded to give them a lecture.
 "Gentlemen," he said, T have noticed that you have been writing political news. You are war cor respondents. You are a part of the U. $. Army and you have no right but to reflect the opinion of the IlRll W COIIlIIldllQ. Ou WILL WilVC nothing critical of British policy in the Middle East"
 But, General" rem on stra q New York Times Cy Sulzberger, since so much of what the British are doing here is with American lend lease and with American pres tige, it seems to us that the Ameri- can people have right to know what is happening, so long as mili- tary secrets are not involved"
 "The American public" shot back Gen.. Giles, banging his fist on the table, has no g. d. right to know anything that is going on in this theatre, gentlemen
 That ended that. And since the British have three different censor ships watching all outgoing U. S. mail from the Middle East, no real word of what is happening has leaked out,

WHY CREEKS REVOLTED
 IN EGYPT

However, here's the inside story, from uncensored diplomatic reports, of what U. s. newsmen wanted to say when Gen Giles cracked down on them.
 It so happens that today about 60 percent of the Greek Navy and 25 percent of the Greek Army are prisoners of the British. In ad- dition, hundreds of Greek leaders, some of them wealthy businessmen from the U s. A. who went to Cairo to help their country, are now de- tained in British concentration camps, Some Greeks actually feel that there is little choice between German occupation of Greece and British Imprisonment of Greeks, ex- cept that the British feed better.
 This tragic situation came about when the British started training the Greek Army and Navy in Egypt to fight against their fellow Greeks in Greece. They were being groom ed to fight against fellow country men who have been consistently and successfully opposing the Ger mans It was at this point that the Greek Navy and part of the Greek Army in Egypt revolted.
 Behind this unfortunate turmoil is the fact that Prime Minister Churchill insists on keeping King George of Greece on the throne, despite the opposition of a great majority of the Greek people. King George presumably would be amen able to Churchill regarding Crete

was never delivered to Premier Svolos. AS a result, he did sign an agreement in Lebanon. But when he got back and found that the British had failed to deliver the message asking him not to sign the Greek Government in Greece refused to be bound by the agree ment.
 Since then, Foreign Minister Eden has declared in the House of Con- mons that the Greeks in Greece have refused to live up to theil signature to join with the Govern ment- -in-E Exile.

Club de Jeudi Dimes
By arthur Fl. Denfe

Spring fever hit the members of
the Club de Jeudi, that group of four
couples which gather every Thurs
day night for a dinner cooked by
first one, then another of the four
mere males, acting as amateur chefs,
turn about.
The club now going into its
third year, has developed some
of the finest amateur male chefs
in the country. Individual mem
bers have climbed to real heights in
the preparation of culinary tri-
umphs, but each year, come spring,
the ancient appeal of turnip greens
and boiled bacon asserts itself.
And so last Thursday saw four
hungry men and their ever-loving
and admiring wives sitting down to
a wholesome spring tonic" din

Stuffed Hard Boiled Eggs

Boiled Bacon
Turnip Greens Baked Potatoes
Lemon Meringue Pie

At this dinner party, delightful
and honey touch was provided by
having large platter of small
pickles, ripe and green olives, cell
cry and strips of raw carrot to nib
BILE with an accompaniment of an
appetizing cocktail made out of half
tomato juice and half canned clam
broth, well chilled and served with
topping of celery salt. And then
the eggs and then the grand feast
of turnip green's with the accom-
panying comestibles.
If one figures one egg-two halves
per serving-cook eight eggs for
about 20 minutes, then crack the
shells and place the eggs in cold
water. Then peel and cut into even
halves. Remove the yolks and place
In mixing bowl. Have ready four
slices of bacon fried crisp and
crumbled, four small sour pickles
well minced, a heaping tablespoon
full of prepared mustard, a bit OF
mayonnaise to help moisten the
yolks, with salt and pepper to taste
A tiny bit of finely chopped parsley
or finely minced chives adds a nice
touch. With this paste, stuff each
half Of egg to a well rounded top
and keep chilled until ready to serve,
The question of how many turnip
green's (or other greens If there are
no turnip green's depends upon the
appetites of the diners. II were
to invite six or eight friends from
the well-known State of Alabama,
for instance, should figure on two
pecks Of green's for eight diners.
The green's must be well washed
to remove sand or grit. Then into

Round About the House
By Mareare NoueH

If the upholstered seats of your
family's straight-backed chairs are
showing signs of wear, there's no
need to put up with their drabness
for the duration, no matter how slim
your wartime budget may be. Take
q cut from the decorators and plan
on covering the chairs with slip
cover shorts" using yard-long
fabric scraps from the rag bag.
Whether you prefer the tied, but
toned or snapped variety of closing,
you'll find these chair seat Slip
covers can be made in a jiffy and do
q good looking job of camoudage.
Take your choice of boxed, ruf1ed or
quilted styles to fit the decor of
your home. Even If you've never
tried your hand at slip-covering,
you'll find you can quickly turn out
q whole series of these good looking
"shorties" just by taking a few les
sons at your local sewing center.
Besides the basic points of cutting
and fitting, you can master the art
of making decorator trimmings with
modern sewing machine attach
ments in q few afternoons.
The first step is to take inventory
Of the odds and ends of cottons in
the family rag bag. Gather up all
of the floral and striped remnants
that measure at least yard in
length. If you went to outfit several
chairs and find THERE isn't enough
Of one fabric to 60 around, you can
successfully combine stripes and
florals with plain cottons.
After sorting out the materials
and determining whether any fill
in Of new fabric is needed, make
paper pattern of the chair seat. To
conserve paper you might use
sheet Of old newspaper for this pur-
pose, and write in the measurements
with soft pencil as indicated in
the picture. Also use soft pencil
markings to outline the shape of

Of good bacon, with real lean. Then
add just enough water to reach the
top of the bacon. Then add the
greens. Steam them-dont drown
them. The cooking takes about two
hours, and they should be tender,
tasty-not greasy.
If the green's are very young and
tender, they will take less time.
Cooking greens is fine Southern
culinary art.
The meat may be sliced and eaten
as it comes from the pot, but an
other very good way Is to slice 1t
shortly before serving and then
place under the broiler to give it q
slight browning. This Is not truly
Southern, but very good to eat.
OF course, a Southern gentleman
would look for real corn bread, and
here is the grandest of all, at least
so far as I can say: Get stone
ground white corn meal, made fresh
in nearby water mill. Add a little
bacon grease and just enough boil
ing water to scald and make q
dough-not wet paste. Grease a
baking pan, scoop out tablespoon
fuls Of the dough and drop in size Of
an egg. Put into the oven and
cook slowly until the inside is thor
oughly done and the outside Is a
golden brown.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Dorothy Dix: We are a bunch
OF high school girls who are very
much in love and we are thinking
about quitting school and getting
married. What would you do?
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
Answer-Perhaps If I were as
young and unsophisticated and knew
as little Of life as you do, I might be
foolish enough to think about quit
ting school and getting married, but
being older and having seen so much
Of the misery that comes from early
marriages I would urge you by every
thing that is in my power to say
to put of your weddings for five or
six years.
There Is no more tragic figure
than the girl who marries too young,
who is tied down by babies and
wrestling with cooking and washing
and ironing that she does not know
how to do, trying to live on an In
come that is little above the starva-
ton point, and quarreling with her
husband over the bills they cannot
pay. Believe me, my children, such
a one never sees the girls Of her own
age, who are still carefree, who have
pretty clothes and dates and who
can step out at night instead of

ton of the water, which takes only
a second to add just before serving.
The water melts the sugar and
makes the sauce smooth.
Easter Egg Cake: 1t Is q bit late
for this but some one may wish
to file it for future use. Make one
recipe each of your favorite gold"
cake (yolks only and one Of Silver"
cake whites only. Add a little
yellow cake coloring to the gold
recipe. Into a loaf pan put half
the silver batter, making a depres-
sion in the center. Into this nest
drop the whole gold batter and
cover with the remaining silver
batter. Bake as usual and frost
and decorate. When this cake is
cut in slices it looks like hard
cooked egg. 1t is very beautiful
and very delicious. + use lemon
flavoring in the gold cake and
vanilla in the silver and the COM
bination is very good.
Fleas: In Kidding a house Of fleas
1t Is necessary to thoroughly vacuum
all rugs and upholstery as the feas
continue to breed long after the
animal has been removed. If they
are in the basement spray a flea
powder in suspected areas and re-
peat at weekly intervals until no
more f1eas appear. They are ter
rible pest and only continued and
constant attention will rid house
of them. The eggs can drop into
cracks in the floors and breed there
in the dust. We pulled some old
gunny sacks from under the floor
piping and found them loaded with
t1eas after years of being used
as insulation.

lunches to put up every day so I

jobs, if you take advantage of your
sewing machine attachments. For
example, you can achieve a pro-
fessional-looking finish by joining
seams with welting-the jigtime job
Of the sewing machines cording
foot attachment.
To make the welting use bias
strips about ~ inches wide Of plain
or contrasting fabric. Place thin
cable cord in the center of the bias
strip, fold the strip over the cord,
keeping the edges even and stitch
with the cording foot. Ruffling, too,
can be turned out in practically q
twinkling with the aid of the ruffler
attachment. Plan on doubling the
length of the chair seat circum-
ference for generously full ruffie.
Button and buttonhole, or snap
fastening closing at the back are
more suitable for the tailored, box
style, and you can do jiffy job
of buttonhole making with the sew

the chair seat, carrying the line
around to the back of the frame,
where the back supports join the
seat. Cut along penciled lines and
you should have a perfect pattern
of the chair seat. When cutting the
fabric, remember to allow a gener-
Gus q Inch all the way around for
seam joinings.
The styles you choose to camou-
fage or dress up your chairs will
depend to a great extent on the
type of room in which they are
used. For instance, the boxy style
developed in stripes or a combina-
ton of striped and plain fabric,
would be more effective for modern
decor against background Of plain
or flower -papered walls. Sewing
centers suggest the rufiled style to
accent a Victorian living room or
bedroom setting. In this instance
companionable floral fabrics and
walls add individual charm
and gayety to the room.
There are only two pieces in the
pattern for the tailored. boxy type,
and an additional strip is needed
for the rufi1ed variety. Stitching
and joining these pieces are easy
