Dan Cooper, the designer of mod
ern furniture and fabrics, probably
has more strings to his fiddle than
anybody else in the field. And he
plays up and down the scale with
more versatility and understanding
than most. At the top of the scale,
he has designed the interior of
many of the most famous houses
in America, including Dumbarton
Oaks, built by Robert Woods Bliss
and later given to Harvard Uni
versity . the Conger Goodyear
house the celebrated Fairchild
House in New York.
At the other end of the scale,
there is his cleverly contrived furni-
ture for the assembly line, designed
so that it can be taken apart and
packed fiat for storing or moving
And his drafting room is busy now
with plans for postwar furniture
that can be produced by mass pro-
duction methods and yet be variable
enough to have individuality.
He is particularly concerned right
now with what the average low
cost American home is going to
be like In the future, and he
hopes it won't be mass production
affair turned out like cars in the
good old days. Not because he
doesn't believe in factory methods
he does very much-but he ques-
tions what the sameness of such
houses would do to American viii
lagos and cities. Though judging
from his own experience in plan
ming houses, he reports that no two
clients ever wanted the same thing
SO he doubts whether the Nation
is going to change so suddenly and
accept factory-made houses with
out any back talk.
On the other hand he recognizes
the Importance of the machine in
our society and the inevitability
even the deSirability, of using ma
chine methods for home building.
But he's been asking questions for
quite a while about why mass pro-
duction can't be concentrated on
making sections or units which home
owners could assemble themselves
according to their own plans and
needs-according to the plot OF
ground, the size of the family, their
interests and hobbies. Thus the
economies of factory methods could
be passed along to home owners
without sacrificing individuality. He
would have the colorings of the
units and the furnishings designed
SO that any combination of the diff
ferent parts would be harmonious
when assembled, so that persons
with little understanding or taste
still couldn't make any serious mis-
takes On the other hand, for those
with imagination, the elements fol
creating a home with real individ-
uality would be there Such units
would be fairly easy to assemble BY
the home owners themselves or By
a local carpenter.

which 1 loudly say "POOH!" Al
though I follow no recipe given by
an established graduate of the
Italian art of pastry making, I use
my imagination and experience to
good advantage, and the results
quite equal the original.
For Plzza, / make an ordinary
bread dough-not too sweet After
the usual kneading, and rising, I roll
out or pull into large circle the
required size On this l slice thinly
some fresh tomatoes add-and the
following are optional, and can all
be used at once, or as desired
anchovies, or anchovy paste spread
thin sliced olives, either green or
black; pepperoni lred coarsely
ground pepper: OreganO or thyme a;
and slices of cheese. To those people
who dare. finely chopped Glove or
garlic may be sprinkled over all. as
may also olive Oil be brushed over
the dough before anything else is
placed on it. Bake in an oven about
$50 degrees, until brown around the
edges, and cheese starts to melt 1t
is at its best served directly from
the oven.
/ sometimes take slices of white
bread. and put some of the above
mentioned ingredients on them, and
toast in the oven. This is excellent
when you expect guests, and wish to
serve something light, and that can
be prepared before arrival of the
guests. When the time comes to
serve, or p hour before. light the
oven, and if you are efficient and
wise, the bread will already be in
the oven before your guests arrive,
and all you need do is light it. AS
this letter is already too long, I
shall send another later.

Dear Miss Dix: If you tell me

true that a man loves woman
before marriage more than she does
him. but after marriage the woman
has to be the lover? (2p Does mar

If a wife becomes infatuated with
another man, does it arouse the hus-
bands interest and jealousy, or
only his profound disgust?
WINIFRED.
Answer am afraid you will be
an old maid if you wait to solve
all of these matrimonial problems

cause the answers depend upon the

paper patterns for the behavior OF

He doesn't even know himself

the opposite is just as often the

how much trouble the wife takes tc
keep her husband thinking she Is
the only woman in the world
t2p Probably most marriages
reach their romantic peak during
tpe honeymoon and then decline to
husbands and wives taking each
other for granted, but that does not
mean that they are any less fond OF
each other. 1t is just that We cant

80 Every happy marriage turns
into a beautiful companionship.
a. Certainly marriage means
more to a woman than it does to
a man, because her physical we'll
being as well as her happiness is
involved in it. 1t is her living, her
comfort, her security.
80 Certainly plenty of husbands
are absolutely faithful to their
wives
90 1t is a common thing for a
husband to be so jealous of his
wife's lover that he kills him.

CHOCOLATE NUT FROSTING.
CHEESE SAUCE:
(ThGnkS to Mrs. w. F. c.,
Takoma PQrk.)

Takoma Park
For Miss E. B. S., Washington: A
delicious chocolate nut froSting can
be made as follows: Mix one cup
brown sugar, 3 squares chocolate, 3
tablespoons margarine, and l. cup
water. Bring this mixture to boiling
point and boil 3 minutes. Remove
from fire and cool slightly Add
enough !onfectioners sugar TO
spread (about l poundD, l teaspoon
vanilla, and u cup nuts. This is
sufficient for large player cake or
a medium Slayer cake. One half
the recipe will cover a one-layer
square cake Q0X10D. 1t does not
taste of powdered sugar and it al
ways stays creamy.
For Mrs. J. NJ, Chevy Chase, Md:
Instead of melting pure cheese as a
sauce for broccoli or other vege-
tables, l make a regular medium
white sauce and add cheese to that.
Melt tablespoons margarine, blend
in three tablespoons flour. then
slowly add two cups of milk. stirring
until smooth after each addition.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Alter
sauce has come to boil add be-
tween a and y pound of American
or packaged cheese. AS soon as this
cheese has melted into the sauce 1t
is ready to serve For family of
two or three I make only half the
recipe-OnG cup of sauce is ample for
a large head of cauliflOWer or large
bunch of broccoli or asparagus.

ARE FINDERS KEEPERS?
Requested By Mrs. r. B. O,
UI0SbjuutOD

Washington
I 90 not like to believe people are
so dishonest these days, sStill my un-
fortunate experience Easter sun
dav. when religious celebrations
should have brought to mind the
value of goodness and dong unto
others as we would have them do
unto us. makes me wonder.
I lost my watch, given me by my
father and to me of worth beyond
its cost. Along with me in the lost
ads were so more unfortunateS. l
have received no answer, yet some
where some one has the watch, and
probably more than one person
knows of its finding, but to them 1t
is ONLY a watch. If the pOSSeSSor
knew that tears and disrupted rou-
tine have been the real cost, doubt
that possessing it would allow much
happiness But sum up the heart
aches represented in the lost
COllmn
We would not deliberately cause
distress, but all too often we pass
up the opportunity to be KIND ana
decent with the assumption that
finders are keepers, when tele-
phone call would brighten the world
for somebody, or found ad would
show that we are intelligent and
honest Done promptlyp

The Public And Pearl Harbor

There has appeared in the wake of the Army and Navy can people equally responsible with the officers directly involved in that disaster.
 It must be admitted that back in the Thrties the peo
 e and their representatives in Congress were guilty Of considerable Shor-sghtednesS and conplacency in mill tary matters Nevertheless this Is minority dissent from the prevalent opinion.
 The general indictment of the people for bringing about the Pearl Harbor tragedy assumes that this gov. ernment in all its ramcatons is as truly servant or the people in practice as It is in spirit That aSSump
 We must leave the conduct of foreign affairs and the preparations for national defense to be elected head of government and to those specialists whom he chooses to sometimes necessarily secret So are some details Of nations defense. 1t is the American custom to en- trust such activities to appointed officials with long ex- perience or professional training In those fields.
 At threat of emergency 1t Is possible to draw the cloak of secrecy closely about diplomatic and found for doing this But in 1s4l the American people could not be blamed for assuming that behind the cloak things were going smoothly that war war t ten steps would be informed.
 Obviously the steps were not taken. Since the com

 Many government and military leaders expended

 The fact still remains that this country lost men, ships and planes December l04 and very nearly lost the war Thus far the explanations why have been gem eral and confusing What Is still needed Is definite the most vague and general explanation of alpublc guilt.
