I am thinking now Of baby
turkey which must be -broiled
to be of any account and which
Is properly cooked and served
in only a few spots in the
United States.
ONE of these is the famous
" Colony Restaurant in New
York City. an establishment in.
tested largely by the bong tong.
where broiled baby turkey may
have originated as regular
item of restaurant cuisine.
! have heard that the late
o. o. Mcintyre who was q
steady customer of the Colony
was its first pronounced booster
and mainly because of his fancy
1t was kept on the menu.
1t ID served at the Colony
with a sauce composed OF mus
tard and applesauce which may
strike some of my readers as
slightly bizarre but which / as
sure them is quite a thing.
One other restaurant to my
knowledge is making special
point of broiled baby turkey and
that Is Mike Romanoff' in Bev-
erly Hills.

THESE DAYS

MANY of our statesmen have
NA so little confidence in the
wisdom of the American people
that they insist upon legislation
now because they fear that
when the people recover from
the emotionalism of war, they
will change their minds.
That seems to be the only
argument in favor of legislating
for peace-time consumption now.
It is not a question Of the
purpose of the proposition; it is
the timing of it.
At this moment we have war
time CONSUMPTION.
No further legislation for that
purpose is necessary.
And every boy who Is physi-
cally or mentally At 10 take
part in this war is being con-
scripted.
Every boy over 18 who can
be. is in.
Therefore. this legislation will
be applied TO no one now.
Furthermore, there is no pos
sibility of our army becoming
rapidly depleted once the war
is over.
The rehabilitation is bound
to be slow; large forces will be
kept in Europe for a prolonged
period, certainly for police duty
in the conquered areas.
On this subject, the testimony
of Gen. Hershey is more valu-
able than the campaign speeches
of any candidates.
Peace-time CONSUMPTION then
is not designed to replace de-
modified army. No legislation
is needed for that.
I HAVE familiarized myself
L with the argument on peace
time CONSUMPTION. pro and con,
and I am sure that it is possible
10 make a good case one way
or the other.
II is not an open and shut
issue. 1t requires considerable
thought, discussion and debate.
For instance, while il is true
that our boys need considerable
physical training. do they re-
quire a year of II?
Suppose military education on
the pattern of the ROTC were
adopted universally at high
school level while the boys are
still at their studies.
Would that not catch most OF
our boys without interrupting
their lives?
Could not arrangements be
made TO take care OF the boys
who do not attend high school I?
That is. If military education is
advisable.
IF OUR politicians were to
Il admit that we are mature
people who could take the truth
no matter how ugly it might be,
they would say that peace has
Topped again.
And then they would have TO
say that this country will need
big army and big navy and
tremendous reserve force to
bang away at anybody that
