GARIAN-YUGOSLAV RIDER,
Nov. 29.-Premier Marshal Tito OF
Yugoslavia said tonight that his
government considered the United
Nations Balkan Commission "a
danger for Balkan peace because it
is the possibility for any kind OF
provocation.
In this case" he said, "it is the
tool OF the Greek monarcho-
Fascist government directed against
three States-Yugoslavia, Bulgaria
and Albania"
I'm the General Assembly of the

nize this commission" Marshal
Tito said. 1--WE will not recognize
it and will not allow the commits

it is unlawful. For us it does not

Signed Poet In Bulgaria.
He was on his way back to Yugo-
slavia from Sofia, where Yugo-
slavia and Bulgaria Thursday
signed a 20-year friendship pact.
Tito said similar treaties must be
signed by all Eastern countries. He
declared that Yugoslavia intended
to sign them with Hungary and Ro-
mania.
THE Bulgar-Yugoslav treaty has
in view not only the danger of Ger
man aggression but any aggression
no matter from where it may come" "
Tito said.

ism is defeated, it may become a
tool In the hands of other imperial
lists. That is why we are not only

He pointed out that both coun-
tries would defend their frontiers,
freedom and independence with mu-
tual forces. In the treaty, they ac-
cuse the Balkan commission of in
fringing state sovereignty and agree
to keep Its members out of their
territory.
1--WE put out of the way the powder
barrel in the Balkans, and it is well
known that the powder barrel in
the past was mainly between Bull

Mrs. E.. E. FL am a constant
reader of your work, and enjoy
reading it at all times. l have a
question to ask you. Do you think
there is a possibility of our going
back together again?
Ans.-I find that you are di-
vorced from your husband and are
wondering whether you will ever
go back together again. There is
a great possibility that you may
do So, because of the children and
the fact that you are still the best
of friends.
J. L. R.-Do you think he is
worth my trouble?
Ans.-You are helping a friend
of yours because he is unable to
work just now, and you are Won
.dering whether he appreciates
what you are doing. l am sure he
is grateful and if it is ever pos
sible to repay you, he will try to
do so. His present attitude is due
to the fact that he has little hope
of recovering.
Mrs. J.. c. S.-Will l get a house
soon?
Ans.-According to your Lucky
Stars and Guiding Planets you will
be successful in finding the type
of house you desire within the
next couple of months. Don't get
discouraged, your future indicates

J. J. Twill you please tell
me why l can't make more money
and get anywhere financially?
Ans.-The jobs you have had
paid a very small wage hence your
financial condition remains sta
tus quo. According to your 70
diacal Sign, you are destined to
have better luck and get the type
of employment that will pay you
a larger salary.
L. M. d. have a girl friend
who is supposed to be my best
friend. Of course, she has other
friends, and when she is around
them, she doesn't have much to
say to me; but when we are alone,
she is just as sweet as she can be.
What should l do?
Ans.-Your girl friend appears
to be the type of person that
likes to be popular and made-over.

all trained men; as the students
complete the meat cutters course,
they get practical experisace at the
meat-cutting plant. Next to the
cutting room is the fat rendering
room. The salvage fat is rendered
and used in the post kitchens for
deep-fat frying and other kitchen
purposes, but none OF it is used Tor
pastry or cakes. I was told that
100 pounds of salvage fat will render
down to give IS to Sc per cent lard.
The reason for this high percentage
is due to special machine they
use that was built there at Fort
Meade. It's similar. to cider press,
the cracklings are put in and
pressed, the extra fat coming from
the cracklings. There Is no waste
in the Army kitchen.
BY this time it was noon, so we
dropped in on H and S Troop, 43d
Cavalry Squadron for a meal of
typical Army fare. Here I discov-
cred the mess steward is often con-
fronted with problems not so very
different from those of the average
housewife. IT you remember, at the
beginning of the war a master
menu WAS set up for the Army to
follow. On this particular day the
master menu called for potatoes, but
when they were issued they were not
up to standard quality, SO it was up
to the mess steward to find suita-
Bile substitute. This he did by Us
ing noodles instead. The menu also
called for tomato sauce served with
the Dreaded lamb chop; however,
when he found it necessary to use
the noodles he combined the two.
The result was q very appetizing
and well-flavored dish.

'Potluck' at Fort Meade

Capt. Robert r. Crow is food
supervisor for all of Fort Meade
while TISergt. John Johns is mess
steward Of the unit where we dined
incidentally, TiSergt. Johns took his
food training in Hawaii. With the
exception OF the bread, which comes
from the central bakery, all the food
eaten by this unit is cooked at the
unit kitchen. This means their cook
must be able to prepare meat and
vegetables as well as hot hollis and
pastry. I asked some Of the enlisted
men how they liked their, food. One
man claimed his troop had the best
on the post because they had the
best cook. Another young sergeant
thought the food was better when
they were on garrison rations. Not
quite understanding what that
meant was informed under that
system the mess steward plans all
the meals for his unit. This may
have advantages over the master
menu plan but, in that event, q
great deal depends on having a good
mess steward. Generally, however,
the men In this unit seemed to be
very we'll satisfied with their food.
Personally, ! found it very good. 1t
was we'll seasoned. tasty and COM
pletely satisfying. There were sauces
condiments, jars OF jam and big
bowl of oranges on each table.
Maj. Charles II. johnson, who is
food service supervisor for the ID
Army, says this: I'VE don't expect tc
remove all the complaints from the
mess hall, but we do expect to re-
move any justification for them."

When I first heard Of the food
service school at Fort Meade, Md.
II was Immediately curious to
see 1t in action. Fortunately, the
other day I had the opportunity
of visiting the school and dropping
in for mess with one Of the units.
The United States Army firmly
believes that well-cooked food has
an important bearing on the health
and morale of it's men. In order
to accomplish this. they maintain
food service school where officers
and enlisted men are actually taught
cooking. They learn the reason
fWHY eggs are cooked at low tenn
peratures; WHY vegetables are not
overlooked; WHY meat is roasted in
slow oven; they learn how to
use a recipe, and how appearance
of food can create appetite appeal
The rations that are issued to
each soldier must be made into
healthful appetizing meals. The
soldier, then, depends on some Army
cook to do that for him. So, it is
highly important that the cook
knows his business and doesn't
waste the food nor any of its nutri-
tional value.
Before we looked in on some OF
the classes in progress, we went
over to the meat-cutting plant
where all the meat used at Fort
Meade is cut. That day they were
cutting lamb. When lamb, for ex-
ample, appears on the menu enough
lamb is drawn" to provide roasts
SUFFICIENT to feed the entire post.
After the roasts are cut out the
remainder of the carcass goes into
stew or ground meat. So one issue
of lamb will provide the post with
three meals. The meat cutters are

the Readers Clearing HOUSE with
out hearing Of the African violet.
The tiny plant holds its own con-
sistcntly. receiving top billing In
reader interest year after year.
The interest obviously is nation
wide. Americas flrst African violet
show was held last fall IN Atlanta,
Ga. The traflc jam In front Of the
Hastings store hi which the show
was held made the headlines, and
extra policemen had to be assigned
to keep the crowd orderly. Two
hundred and three persons exhibit
ed 478 individual plants hi the show,
and it is estimated that 1000 people
attended during the two days the
show was held.
Mrs. Robert Wright, OF Knoxville,
Tenn. writes telling US OF : group
OF plant lovers who worried and
worried about the golden oppor-
tunity having slipped by" as the
show drew to q close, and the de-
termination Of these same plani
lovers to create i society that would
keep them in touch with each other
and broaden their information or
the African violet. The American
African Violet Society, Inc, was
born as q result Of their efforts.
Their feeling that the Society
was worth founding was sustained
when small references to it In Bet
ter Homes and Gardens" and "Hor-
