ters I get from servicemen who
write me that they have discov-
cred that they have fallen out of
love with their wives and in love
with some girl they have met at
camp, the yen for divorces seems to
be sweeping our armed forces like
an epidemic. This is not to be won-
dered at. 1t is the natural sequence
OF the hurryup war marriages in
which boys and girls rushed into
marriage after an acquaintance of
only few days, sometimes only a
few hours, and without any knowl-
edge of each others characters or
habits or previous lives.
No enduring affection could be
built upon such a fimsy foundation,
for the love that lasts has to be
rooted on something deeper than a
passing fancy, or few highballs, or
even upon youngsters feeling that
they have to get married because
all the other lads and lassies are
doing it and they will sort of be
out of things if they don't.
And it is out of sight, out OF
mind. AS soon as the soldier OF
sailor is transferred to another
camp or overseas the bride of a few
days finds that she wasn't in love
with Joe or Jack, as she though,
she was, and some other youth
comes whistling down the street ano
she dances off with him. And the
youthful husband has the same re-
action, only more So In camp he
is lonesome. He is bored. He is
homesick. He misses the girls hi
used to play with, and he falls fol
any skirt that comes his way. Ane
he wants a divorce and to marry
this strange girl. And, if he did
he would want to divorce her by
the time he got to the next camp
and met another charmer.

I notice that I wash and iron more

Mondays wash is light, Wednes-

Also, they give me fresh baby clothes
more frequently. Ironing once q

weeks ightens that task.

BABY CARE; COFFEE MAKING.
THANKS to Mrs. B. E. w.,
Alexandria,.
Regarding when to stop steriliz-
ing baby's "eating equipment" The
precedent in my family has been to
stop it when the baby starts chew
ing the fringe on the living room
rug!
But seriously, my pediatrician ad-
vised me to stop sterilizing every
thing at months, including bot
ties. I believe he was less conserv-
ative than many doctors on this.
Sometime ago I saw a request on
how to make good coffee. I should
like to say that my percolated coffee
has been successful ever since I
learned that the coffee must never
percolate violently, but. must just
barely bubble out of the tube. This
requires careful watching when the
first bubbles come out. for even a
minute or so of violent percola tion
can spoil the flavor. I start the pot
with boiling water beneath the cof-
fee.

TWO SPECIAL RECIPES.
(ThankS to Mrs. M. M. P

I'd like to contribute three recipes
that are among our specials"
Cream of mushroom soup: I use
from u pound mushrooms on up
depending on prevailing prices (and
just wash off under cold water;
never peel mushroom, chop fine
Cut anywhere from y to whole
stalk celery, including leaves, in
pieces; cover with cold water and
cook until very tender. Put chopped
mushrooms in top section of double

garine as you can spare (from
tablespoons to n cup) and saute
over direct heat. When mushrooms

flour (or more, depending on guam
tity of soup you are making) and
add about 3 cups of milk (part

over boiling water until thick. Salt
and pepper to taste. When celery
Is done, run through sieve (save the
wateD and add sieved celery and
the celery water to the soup.
Though not necessary, allow to cook
another Is minutes. The celery is
the trick in this soup. Sorry have
no accurate measurements, but I
lost this recipe long ago. Any one
who has made a cream sauce or
gravy, ETC., can judge the flour
measurements to suit the quantity
OF soup needed.
Onion soup: Il cook for two and
I'm giving the quantity I useD Three
large onions (Bermudas preferredD

would apples for pie. Put in top
of double boiler with, again, as
much margarine or butter as you

direct heat. Prepare, from beef
bouillon cubes, cups bouillon ac-
cording to directions for cubes
Add tablespoons flour to onions

BORAX VS.. BORIC ACID;
CANDIED APPLES.

WaShington.)
I've been a faithful reader of
your Clearing House and want to
say thanks for all the tips I've util-
lied. Being an ex-dietician and the
mother of healthy 8-month-old
baby who has had to travel quite a
bit, I'm able to answer a couple of
the questions which appeared Tues
day, February % for Mrs. G. T. in
Washington.
Borax used in rinsing, sweetens
and deodorizes, while boric acid
powder suggested by Mrs. H. S. is
similar to that used for eye wash.
When boric acid powder or crystals
are used for washing, it should be
added to the final rinse water. This
is advisable whenever a baby has
an extremely sensitive skin, is sub
ject to rash or whenever boiling is
impossible. My baby doctor ap-
proved of this for me when I was
staying at hotel with the baby and
boiling or summing laundry wasn't
possible.
Candied Apples: 6 medium-sized
red apples, l cup brown sugar, l1a
cups granulated white sugar, " cup
light, corn sirup, u cup water, /
tablespoon butter (can be omitted)
l teaspoon vanilla extract. Stick
wooden skewers TASK your butcher

I am passing along a household
hint which I think a lot of readers
would like to use. No matter how
careful one is, the porcelain lining in
the oven gets a brown crust on it
At night, put small bowl az cup)
of household ammonia in the cold
oven. In the morning before using
the oven, remove the ammonia and
add to pan of warm water and use
to clean the oven. Not all the dis
coloration will disappear the first
time, but if used every week or two
the oven will soon look like new. ANY
pans that have grease burnt on
them may be put in the oven at the

Dewey Is Regarded As Sole Hope Of Middle Western Republicans


MacArthur won the Illinois pri- mary by virtually default, but again 1t is taken for granted that Dewey will get the states % votes when showdown comes.
 Polls corroborate the feeling of observers that before Willkie left the race he was running behind Governor Dewey in Michigan and even in Willkie's home state of Indiana.
 In Nebraska, where the only names on the ballot were those of MT. Willkie and former Governor Stassen of Minnesota, the Omaha World-Herald conducted a scien- tific sampling test which showed Stassen leading Willkie by six to four. This was interpreted not so much pro-StasSen as anti-Willkie. The write-in vote for Governor Dewey, which was purely Spon- taneous, seemed to confirm that analysis. Newspapers did predict a substantial write-in but did not advocate it, nor did they publicize the mechanics of a write-in vote as ordinarily is done when it is desired to stimulate one. Party leaders expect Dewey to get all of the states votes, probably after Stassen has had technical support from the delegates pledged to him. SLIM CHANGE FOR STASSEN
 Stassen, now on naval duty in the Pacific, is admired and re- spected through much of this sec-

He spoke freely as he posed at his large desk in a white panelled room in an old mansion. He is intensely proud of what the Cana dianS did in Sicily and Ortona, and he says that this is convincing proof that new but well-trained troops can carry on in their first battles.
 WAITING IS WORST
 At matter of fact" the Gen. eral said, "the most trying time for a soldier is not when he is engaged in actual combat, but when for long periods he sits and waits for something to happen. Some of our boys have seen no action during the four long years they have been in this country"
 The General has the reputation for being a stern disciplinarian, but he says that he believes in leading, not driving. But when it is necessary to drive, he drives hard.
 He also has the reputation for being as stern a disciplinarian with himself as with his men. Most nights see him in bed by ten o. clock and by eight in the morning he has had his cold shower. He has given orders that his rationS should be the same as those of his men.
 He was born 54 years ago in Hamilton, Ontario, went to Upper Canada and the Royal Military Col leges, and except for one year when he was in business, has spent his entire active career in the army.
 T feel" he said, that the war is bound to bring about a great change in our attitude towards the people of England and their attitude towards us.
 WAR CEMENTING EMPIRE
 "When our boys first came here everything seemed strange to them. So-called English reserve was not understood. There still remains in people from Canada and the United States something of the frontier spirit. We are not so far removed from the time when men who had been travelling in the wilderness were glad to meet a stranger and haled him as a friend. We are more venturesome and more effusive than the English because of this.
 But I think this war is broad ening all of us. Our boys, who when they first came here met girls on street corners, are now visiting Eng fish homes. Some of them are mar rying English girls. After the war they will take their wives back to Canada with them. Very likely brother Tom will follow them there. You can easily see what this will do. It will cement together the Elm pire stronger than ever."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-04-20

, tion. But he is not regarded as a real candidate for this years nom- ination. It is felt that he is build ing toward a later campaign, al- though always in the back of his mind, it Is assumed, is the one-in- a-thouSand chance that conven- tion deadlock might toss him the plum if he has enough delegates to keep him toward the top among contenders against Dewey.
 General MacArthur, whose mili- tary achievements are admired, is thought of as the candidate of the isolationiStS, who do not like Gov ernor Dewey because of his dec- laration for a postwar alliance be- tween the United States and Great Britain and, if possible, Russia and China.
 The general was brought out, in the first place, in the hope of stopping Willkie. It would please his supporters if he could stop Dewey also. But I have found virtually nobody who thought of that as even conceivable.
 From all that I have been able to ascertain, I am convinced that isolationist sentiment is much less prevalent in the middle west than is believed on the two coasts. Ger tainly 1t is not strong enough to make General Macarthur real contestant for the nomination so long as his deStinieS remain in the hands of the old America First leadership.
 SPECULATION ON F. D. K.
 It is much too early to hazard any wel-grounded guess what these states will do in the election next fall. Among the most com petent observers, opinion is sharp ly divided. A few feel that the Republicans can win with almost any candidate. Rather more are in doubt whether any Republican can win enough of these states to be elected. Perhaps most of them feel that a topnotch COP nominee by which usually they mean Dewey-l1as a fighting chance of carrying the whole middle west.
 The things that are hard to determine in advance are: First, whether President Roosevelt, who is assumed as the Democratic can- didate, still is stronger than his party by virtue of an inarticulate vote that appears only when he
 runs. Second. the course of tn
