different ways to prepare rhubarb the
following suggestions were received:
5 pounds sugar / pound seeded raisins.
2 oranges and l lemon. Wash and peel
stalks of rhubarb and cut in " inch
pieces. Put in kettle, sprinkle with sug-
ar and add raIsins and grated rind and
juice of oranges and lemon. Mix, cover
and let stand one-half hour Place on
range, bring to boiling point. and let
simmer As minutes, stirring almost
constantly Fill jelly glasses with mix

Rubarb and pineapple preserves:
Six quarts of rhubarb washed and wiped
dry. Don't peel Cut in inch pieces with
four quarts of sugar. Put on low heat

fruit drink or milk in a thermos.
There you are, complete. This lunch,
with everybody helping, can be put up
in three minutes and in less if Mother
does it alone Put all bags, in a grocery
box for convenience.
Advantages: Since you let each one
fix his sandwiches when and as he
likes them, there will be no leftover,
dried up sandwiches to eat at home.
Supposing the trip is short, and the
grown-ups don't want to eat, there is
plenty of lunch for children when they
start complaining they are hungry or
thirsty Finally, this lunch will meet
with the forest rangers approval, since
nothing in it needs cooking, SO it doesn't
call for campfire. However, if it is
not fire season, or if there is a place
where yeu can build campfire, you
can easily bring along coffee and can

The reason for the favorable

the Reds were not yet ready to an

of foreigners I believe though

Promise Is Farce

Part of their friendliness may
have been spurred by hopes that I
would return to the United States
as a champion of their cause. In
spite of their anti-Americanism
some of the newer elements who
had joined the Reds for reform
reasons wanted the American peo-
pies sympathy and understanding.

period-that of harsh military dis
cipline-began in my city. AS I
travelled out. saw this stage in
progress elsewhere

of protection of the foreigner and
