War on the home front must definitely be on by this time
If we wish to save our victory gardens for the purpose they
Were Intended. In fact, this season we are; forced to open j" a
second front. Our second front may not be in a new location.

. eld ones. Some of our former
' means of control have gone - to
the other - real battle .fronts and
w e ha ve .; to
- stretch our home
- ammunition for
all the stretch it
has available.
There are times
we do not feel
like going out to
do a bit of ene
my hunting. It
may be that it Is
Jtoo warm, or too
ebilly or we are
too tired or too-
Ik
something else. But unless we are
very busy with even more neces
sary war work, we should enjoy
bumping ourselves for the little
, we can do to help maintain a
sufficient food supply. Probably
before the present season Is too
far advanced, our reasons may
' be more personal than patriotic.
The 'food shortages are, we be
gin to realize, no mere snyth of
Washington politicians.
If is no use as one woman
wrote to me the other day giv
ing vent to her political feelings
by saying she wasn't going to
help this "crazy mess" by going
out and digging in the dirt. Mess
Press of wartime civilian duties

tions mailed to her he hrief and

In this way hereafter.
or no mess, she can't have any
of my carrots when she sits
around nursing her hurt feelings
come June and July. We are in
this war together now and poli
tics have no place in the vege
table garden or even in the flow
er beds.
The same earwig-, slugs and
cutworms, which do harm to
our victory gardens, eat away
at our cheer gardens. So if
ne doesn't bait te save the
vegetables, bait to sare the
flowers. Most of as, I hope, will
bait to save both.
There are still a number of
poison baits on the markets. It
Is sensible to bait just before you
seed and soon after again. If we.
wait to bait until our plants show
up, we never have any reason to
bait at all. We may be wonder
ing what keeps the seed so long
In the ground, when In reality it
came up some fine afternoon while
we were resting or otherwise oc
cupied, and was eaten off the fol
lowing night by garden enemies.
Put little heaps of the bait out
In the evening. There are kinds
which rain does not greatly in
jure. If you fear Injury to pets
tor birds, cover lightly with crum
pled paper. Slugs enjoy the shel
ter of a bit of paper anyway and
you will be surprised how many
you have trapped.
I have had some complaint con
cerning the troubles of onion
growers In the home garden
maggots and .thrips. I have had
Ho personal experience with
either, but Professor A. G. B.
Bouquet of Oregon State college
admits "it could be" and says that
r the maggots can be controlled by
- tnixing onion seed one part to
two parts of calomel and planting
early. Thrips can be controlled
by a nicotine dust or spray used
from the time the injury first
ppears.

' As to complaints of pea -growers:

can get It and pray for something

By Ethan Grant
We spin the prop, adjust our
chute, climb into the jcockpit,
tike off, climb to 10,000 feet and
take a nosedive straight down in
to Newell Williams' ancient cook
book. The age of this rare relic
is unknown but it must have been
published before they began dat
ing books. And certainly it was
compiled, by a primitive! people.
Gluttons, they were in those days.
Newell, a veteran of the last war,
peruses it while waiting and hop
ing for his local board to call him
to replace a WAAC fo active
duty. " j' '
The first 50 pages are de
voted to the art of bread mak
ing. But nary a word ion the
art of slicing same. So well
skip lightly over cakemaklng,
drink mixing 'cetera and; pause
for how to pickle walnu.s, on
page 264. Yoa begin the; : art of
plckllnr walnuts by gathering
the walnuts. Then you 1 abuse
them, boil 'em in oil. 'hick 'em
to bits, try to dissolve them in
acid. I
If they survive, then you've got
the makings of a pretty good pro
duct. They can now stand any
thing. So you really begin giving
them the old works, winding up
the process by boiling them in
vinegar. "They will be fit to eat
in a month," the book says, "and
will keep for years." jj ;
On page 288 we find a classic
recipe, a masterly sonnet;; on how
to concoct potato salad. Musical
ly made, with rhyme and rhythm,
and ending with the brand of
couplet you'd find in Alexander
Pope's "Rape of the Lock:"
"Serenely fall, the epicure
shall say, ; i-i
Fate can not harm me-4-I have
dined today."
Unfortunately, it doesn't follow
with even a hint of the! cure for
having eaten. i
"Written especially for this
book, by Poet W. A. CrOtfut," is
the 24-line rhyming epicj on how
to make clam coup. It smacks of
neither Wordsworth, Milton, nor
Swinburne, but more like the can
tankerous Wuuam Savage Lan
der's parody on "Grammarian's
Funeral." - j
Next our attention is tailed to
"Ambushed Asparagus." j The re
cipe calls for just about ! every
thing in garden, field, i Orchard,
cellar land smokehouse, before you
get to the asparagus. Then, if you
can find it, you ambush and pre
pare the asparagus. If you can't,
it doesn't really matter. : Horse
radish will 'do as well. On corn
silks, or horsefeathers. With all
the other Ingredients,' nobody
would know the difference any
how. , If'

pages you are invited on page
416 to write in your own favorite
recipes. Now wasn't that gen
erous of the publishers? Theyj
somehow knew the author couldn't
possibly know everything. And
on the; first of the blank pages we
find, in faded ink print and script
a recipe for "Boston Cream Beer."
What naturally would the; origi
nal owner of such a book think
of, after 416 pages of reading.
but somethink to drink?
Under "Housekeeping" we
find this scholarly Introductory
sentence: "Housekeeping, what
ever the opinion of the butter
flies, ; is an accomplishment in
comparison te which in its bear
ing op woman's relation to real
life and to the family, all others
are trivial." -Then follows some
15,000 or so words on the duties
of keeping house. You- read
with j wide-eyed wonder hew a
woman ever lived.
And' all this, mind you, is
merely on how to keep house. Not
a word is mentioned about the
kitchen work. You get that be
ginning on page 459, in another
20,000; or so words. We d imagine
the hoop skirts of those days hid
many a housemaid's-knee, and the
bustle tightened to relieve many
a backach.
Next we find though for the
life of us we can't see what right
it has' in a cookbook "Something
About Babies." Which should
have j been "All About Babies."
Even j diagrams showing how to
hold j those those w ell, those
three4corneed "things." And as
proof; the author was a scatter
brain, he follows, illogically, with
the subject of "Accidents," and
what to do about them. A favorite
temporary remedy was the ad
ministering of whiskey "unto
blissful, intoxication."
It was probably such a condi
tion which inspired the author to
recommend this cake recipe: "Fif
ty eggs, 3 pounds sugar, 5 pounds
flour,; 5 pounds butter, IS pounds
raisins, 3 pounds citron, 10 pounds
currants, 1 pint brandy, 4 cloves,
1 dozen cinnamon, 4 ounces mace;
4 nutmegs. This makes i3Vt
pounds and keeps 20 years. This
cake is unequal ed.
We say H's a bnsh ; mdr-
statement Even half a cake like
that would be tin equaled. Un
less l yoa just wanted It as a
keepsake.

WASHINGTON, March 20 -(P)
Frank Jaeger, 79-year-old crafts
man who made and repaired walking-sticks
for many presidents
since Grover Cleveland, was bur
ied Saturday.
Jaeger, who died Wednesday,
was a native of Germany and was
an apprentice of a walking-stick
maker during his boyhood. He
came to Washington in 884 and
opened a cane and umbrella shop.
Since then he had repaired and
made canes for presidents justices,
and diplomats.
A few years ago he character
ized the passing of the cane-carry-ing
vogue as an indication that

ST. LOUIS, March 20-j!PHFire
Chief Joseph W. Morgan, ignoring
personal danger to order his men
to safety in a spectacular fire was
killed Saturday in the collapse of
a blazing five-story brick factory
building.
Nine-flremenwere injured when
the building gave way, four of
them dropping from the roof to
the basement in an avalanche of
brick jand debris. None was hurt
seriously.
Chief Morgan, warned that the
walls were swaying, was standing
on a Second-floor fire escape, cal
ling to his men to abandon the
building, when it suddenly caved
in.
The factory was occupied by
the Goodwill Industries an organ
ization; which employs about 100
handicapped persons. However,
because this was Saturday only
three I porkers were in the build
ing when the fire broke out in a
waste : paper shredding machine.
All escaped.
Loggers Need
More Meat?
PORTLAND, Ore., March 20-()
City dwellers may get by on two
pounds of meat per week but log
gers need more L. C. Stoll, chair
man , of the local war manpower
commission, asserted today.
In fan interview in the Oregon
ian, Stoll urged that special pro
vision be made under the meat ra
tioning program for logging camps.
"Certainly no woodsman can be
expected to do the hard manual
labor that is required in bucking
and falling on a ration of less than
sevei or eight pounds of meat a
week.
The lumber industry fell short
by more than 6,000,000 board feet
of wr requirements last year. This
food situation, along with many
other problems of the lumbering
industry, would definitely curtail
the lumber production for 1943,'
Stolj said.

Strike' Here
Columbia's "Commandos Strike
at Dawn," which opens today at
the Elslnore theatre. Is known to
Hollywood as the motion picture
more eagerly "awaited than any
in recent years. ' And Hollywood
knows the film, too, -As the ' mo
tion picture which exceeded even
the fondest anticipations. -
The forthcoming' - film Is re
markable In - that, during pro
duction: - ' - .
: It enlisted the enthusiastic sup
port and cooperation of three
great governments the United
States, Great Britain and Cana
da. . -0
It was considered so Important
by Paul Muni that he insisted up
on playing . the - starring to1c-
his first screen venture In more
than" two years. .
It marks the screen return of
Lillian Gish, world-famous stage
and silent screen star, after a
nine-year absence . from J Holly
wood. . ; . '.'- ''
Its cast includes several hun
dred Canadian-trained Comman
dos, who appear as themselves
and who present a grimly realis
tic picture of warfare, as they
know it! - -
The supporting, cast includes, in
addition to Miss Gish, such play
ers as Anna Lee, Sir Cedric Hard
wicke and Robert Coote, English
born actor who quit his newly
won film stardom to join the
Canadian air forces at the out
break of hostilities. .
The Ritz Brothers run riot hi
their new feature ""Hi 'Ya Chum!'
fWake Island'
At Capitol
The accent is definitely on ac
tion in "Wake Island," Para
mount's' re-creation of the epic
defense of the strategic Pacific
outpost by a small band of ma
rine heroes.
Fuller one third of the thrilling
film, now at the Capitol theatre,
is devoted to the reenactment of
the hard fighting on , land and in
the air by the leathernecks against
the men of the Rising Sun.
Chief roles in this story of the
doughty marines are enacted by
Brian Donlevy, Robert Preston,
Macdonald Carey, Albert Dek
ker, Walter Abel, Barbara Brit
ton and William Bendix. Miss
Britton is virtually the only adult
girl shown in the picture.
The battle scenes themselves
are said to be the most spectacu
lar and authentic ever brought to
the screen. The entire film was
made with Marine Corps coopera
tion. Plus "Seven Sweethearts" as the
companion feature.
