Winnie's Wife
BY MolIie Pauter- -DowneS

ment WIN NOllleT
Beautiful, amusing and forth
right, the wife of England's
prime minister is a public fig
ure whose looks and conduct
have helped fix her and her
husband in England's warm
heart.
Even the London cockneys
like to say: There's good old
Winnie! Don't is missus look
a treat" as the Churchills drive
past on their way to some func-
ton
Mrs. Churchill is tall and
holds herself with an old
fashioned straight back Her
hair used to be ash blonde; now
it's gray and its curled Golf
fure gives her face rather an
18th century air. She looks
and is athletic. She has always
played a first-rate game of ten
mis-, She is a good skier, and
plays serious game of croquet.
Her quickness on the mental
trigger leads the more timid of
her acquaintances to say re-
spectfully that she thinks like
a man. She adds to this, how
ever, a typically feminie irrev-
erence for heavy weight per-
sonages and institutes, that a
man would approach, SO to
speak, with his hat in his hand.
At a private party she is not
unlikely to demolish some seri-
Gus discussion with a twinkle,
which probably calls forth from
the cigar end of the table
deep, appreciative, in terror
chuckle.
WinstOn's Cheer Leader
When the prime minister
makes one of his own famous
speeches in the house, she is
always in the ladies gallery to
listen to the rolling Churchillian
phrases which, acting as a cri-
tical preview audience, she has
probably heard over in private
before. Before he starts, she
gives him an encouraging little
wave.
For 35 years, they have
been devoted companions.
She has always been a family
WON an. Possibly there's
something in the idea that an
affectiOnate daughter makes
an affectiOnate mother. Ell
derly gentlemen now recall
how in the old days of
Edwardian London, they used
to see the youthful Glenn
entine HOzier companion
ing her mother about town
as inSeparably as Mary
Churchill cOmpaniOned her
mother before she joined the
ATS. The Edwardian phrase
for beautiful wOme n was
sumner today Mrs.
Churchill is still a sumner
in a handsome, full-length
way.
She buys her clothes like a
smart Frenchwoman, selecting
perhaps one good black or navy
outfit a season and then living
in it. This is a fine wartime ex
ample to English-women in gen
eral, who don't feel so bad
about making the year before
last winter coat do when they
notice that the prime minister's
wife has been photographed
again in that same dress she
had ages ago.
First Lady's BabuShka
Similarly, she has probably
been largely responsible for
women going around with their
heads tied up in scarves or net
snoods. This economical form
of headgear looks fine on Mrs.
Churchill though, unhappily,
not so good on most of her imi-
tators, who give the impression
of h wing absentmindedly
clapped their string shoppings
bags on their back hair.

An Honest Doubt
OF International Sef-Up

am not citing this family, normal
Republicans, for their economic
views, but to show what Midwest
isolationism is: namely, an honest
doubt that any strong international
organization which in any way COM
mits" the United States to act in
the foreign field in close cooperation
with either Great Britain (who
they fear ''leads US by the nose"D
or Russia whom they regard as the
"heathen Chinee" of Bret Hart,
noted for ways that are dark
or worse.
This viewpoint is not the ostrich,
"head-in-the-sand" viewpoint, it is
an honest and deep and overshad-
owing doubt. And if the intellectu-
ais feel that way consider how those
who don't get the "other side feel,
to say nothing of people like the ones
who tried to storm the Bricker head
quarters at the convention, led by
the lunatic fringe of the screaming
isolationists
These people aren't worrying half
as much about not swapping horses
crossing a stream as they are about
getting out of the stream.
And SO what the Democrats are
having to consider is this: to what
degree will this attitude affect the
large throw them out" element and
thus overcome the don't throw
them out until we've got across
the river feeling?

be surprised if that were true. But
there are many border-line Repub-
licans, and discontented, fair-weath-
er Democrats who may feel the way
my politician friend did when he
said there was ticket which the
people who don't want Roosevelt
could vote for.
At the present convention there
is a very careful consideration of
these factors. When Senator Pepper
of Florida, ardent New Dealer,
sounded the warning to the revolt
ing southern Democrats, he was,
perhaps, giving voice to a deeper
distress. He said a split in the
Democratic party would assure the
election of Republican. What he
may have meant was that lot
of folks whose political feet are
itching have at last decided that
most of the "shootin's over" and
they think it is safe to hunt bet

Strong Nationalist
Feeling in Middle West

How strongly nationalist" the
Middle West is is not realized. One
Republican who has done as much
as any to try to work out a compro.
mise between the Wendell Willkie
philosophy of foreign relations and
the isolationist viewpoint said to me
when the tempest in the sub-com-
mlttee drawing up the foreign pol
icy plank was having its fiercest con-
tict:
You have no idea how the isola-
ZIONIST sentiment out here has grown
in the last few weeks. These people
don't want to be isolationists but if
they are forced to go on record with
choice they will choose that way"
This was when Willkie, Governor
Edge of New Jersey and others
were demanding stronger language
in the plank, seeking to commit the
Republican party to a more positive
postwar program of international CO.
operation.
That was finally avoided. Partly
by building up a "world state"
straw-man and knocking it over,
partly by insisting on phrases capa-
BILE of wide Interpretation, and turn
ing the Interpretation over to the
candidates. The second compromise
-Bricker's acceptance of the vice

presidential nomination-was really
part of the first, made in the
hope that Bricker's middlewestern
atmosphere and Dewey's eastern fla
vor could produce mixture pala-
table to all.
After the convention set out to
look into this so-called midwest iso-
lationism, for when first heard that
phrase "they don't want to be iso-
lationist" I didn't quite know what
it meant. Later I think I found out.
I spent the evening in a private
home of two middle-class middle
westerners, a retired engineer and
his wife, college-bred, prairie-farm
girl.
My host first showed me the prog
ress of his Victory garden, one of
many that crept up over the wide
lawns of the comfortable suburban
community, with its corn and beans,
squash and parsnips (ummm, said,
fried parsnips, we can't get them
in Washington.
We stopped in next door where
the neighbor lady (who works in
war industry was just preparing a
batch of currant jelly. At dinner
Il was just about to say supper)
there were thick, luscious pork
chops and apple sauce and tiny
green onions from the garden, fresh,
crisp and sweet. I was, of course
"back home in Illinois" and felt it

There is mo admittance except on
business" but these days, as the
delegates to the Democratic national
convention meet in Chicago, much of
the "business" here, as elsewhere,
is politics.
Some things of political signifi-
canoe have happened since the Re-
publicans chose their candidates in
the sweltering heat of the Chicago
Stadium, now warming the blood Of
their opponents.
By this time it is clear that the
Democratic meeting, always more
spirited affair than the Republican
conclave, has a serious undertone,
even though "the Democrats love a
Donnybrook," as one of them just
reminded me.
There is one outstanding reason
for the need Of some very careful
planning on the part of the admin
istration supporters even though
they feel confident that the country
will not "swap horses in the middle
of stream"
One veteran politician, ardently
anti-administration but too long
laborer in the vineyard to let his
emotions run away with his hard
sense, said to me: "This time the
Republicans have a ticket that the
people who don't want Roosevelt
can vote for" That seems faint
praise but it was not meant to be
damning.
Of course, you don't have to be a
cynic to admit that the vote which
usually wins presidential election
is a vote against the man or the
party in power. The preponderance
of that vote is motivated by the
good old American idea that in gov
ernment, variety is the spice of the
nations life. Since Hitler started on
the rampage a purely artificial situ-
alton has existed which tended to
nullify that natural trend. And the
one, big imponderable in the coming
election is the relative weight of
those two ancient slogans throw
the raScals out" and don't swap
horses while crossing a stream"
Because the Republican leaders
realized this they tried to subordi-
nate all other efforts to the end of
minimizing the Importance of any
thing which administration stands
for, which affects the war and inter-
national relations. That is why har-
mony was achieved as it was not
achieved at the Philadelphia con-
vcntion, and why the fercely con-
flcting forces were silenced behind
closed doors leaving the delegates
on the floor as harmonious as Hay
den string quartet.
The real job was to keep the con-
vention from producing a foreign
plank which would anger the isola-
tionists, which would make it posi-
BILE for the Democrats to say, "as
far as world affairs go, you won't
benefit by making a chAnge, and
you might affect the war, or the
peace"

What Army Eats Isn't Chow Nowadays;
CT Meals Must Be Tasty and Nourishing

to the experimentation, however, the
ocean water was treated with cal
cium hypochlorite on the basis Of
0.5 grams to 81 gallons of the water,
against possible content of algae,
sea weed, etc.
Proceeding on the principle that
flour is the most important and the
one indispensable ingredient to the
production of baked products, the
quartermaster corps tests samples
from each car offered before ac-
ceptance. Made from either hard
spring or winter wheat, the flour
must produce bread with good vol
ume, grain and texture, creamy
white crumb color, and pleasing fla
vor and taste, according to Technol-
ogist Paul v. Holton. Containing
about II per cent protein and one
half per cent minerals or ash, the
army flour is enriched with thiamin
(vitamin BIZ, ribohavin (vitamin
B2), niacin and iron.
One of the outstanding develop
ments was the production of a gran
ular dehydrated yeast for use over
seas because it will keep well for
year if under refrigeration of 4O-5O
degrees F. and show no app eciable
loss in baking strength if stored at
70 degrees or below for six months.
If kept at higher temperatures, how
ever, the yeast quickly loses its quail
ity. Other factors favoring granu-
lar dehydrated yeast, which is man.
ufactured in pellets and packed in
two-pound size, moisture proof cans,
are its quick action during baking
and its greater leavening power per
unit of weight.
Canned Rations.
To meet the needs of our soldiers
under the varying conditions Of war,
rations have been developed. For
instance, when establishing a beach
head there is no time for the prepa-
ration of a meal. The "K" ration
which may be eaten cold, is de-
signed for such an exigency. The
CO. ration is intended for later use
when the beachhead is established
and the tension is not quite so great.
The &c" ration which may be eaten
cold but may be made more palat-
able by heating the canned compo-
nents, requires a minimum of prep
aration. For scout troops or just
back-of-the-line eating, the 10-in-1 ra-
ton is preferable. The ID" ration, a
high calorie chocolate bar, is carried
by the soldier to be used only in an
emergency. Each of these rations
has been developed only after the
most careful research. They must be
nutritionally adequate, of excellent
keeping quality Cat least six months
under varying conditions of eli
mattel easy to carry, and palatable.
One of the research laboratory's
biggest tasks was in the improvisa-
tion of packing to suit the various
climatic conditions encountered. In
early South Pacific fighting, many
different types of packages deterio-
rated on the tropical beaches un-
der the elements of rain and heat.
Through careful research, hoWev-
er, various protective coatings and
waterproofing materials, such as
wakes, were developed, not only to
guard against exposure on the
beaches but also to enable many of
the packages to be fioated ashore to
facilitate unloading operations.

project called the Guinea Pig Club,
of which every employee as well as
every officer in the laboratory is a
