PUDDING FAVORITE AS MEAL TOPPER-OFFER
(See Recipes Below)
DESERVING DESSERTS
Once upon a time a friendly neigh-
I bor living close to our house in a
i small friendly town used to say over
and over, “But a dinner just isn’t a
dinner unless you top it off with a
1 ‘deserving dessert.’ ’’ And when I
•pressed him to explain to me just
* what he meant by a “deserving des
sert” he explained that it was a
, dessert which was so good that even
at the end of a man’s meal it still
deserved to be eaten.
After all, men, bless them, do like
their desserts and so in this column
today—I am giving to you a number
of brand new, easy-to-make recipes
for deserving desserts.
All but one, and that’s a recipe
for a deserving salad. And the rea
sons I am featuring this lone salad
recipe with all the dessert recipes
are these: First, it makes one of
the best-to-eat salads I have ever
tasted. And second, I have a theory
that while men like desserts a good
many of them simply do not eat as
many salads as they should.
So, some time, serve this salad in
•your dinner menu; then top it off
with any one of these desserts and
;Bot alone will the man of the family
have had his favorite meal topper
offer, but he will have had a health
giving, vitamin containing dish as
well.

(Released by Western Newspaper I'jitan )
WASHINGTON.—A visitor from
Mars, studying war and anti-war
hysteria in the United States today,
might have some startling observa
tions to make.
He would certainly report, in his
letters to the folks back on Mars,
that the people of the good old U. S.
A. and its government as well were
very stupid in permitting extrane
ous issues to hold up their prepara
tions to defend themselves against
attack.
He would be mystified, for exam
ple, when he found out that the No. 1
essential for warfare—explosives—
was being held up by a controversy
over government ownership! And
not government ownership NOW, but
the possibility of government own
ership AFTER the war!
It so happens that explosives, ac
cording to army and navy experts,
are lagging way behind airplanes,
ships and even tanks. Everybody
has known this for a long time, as
a matter of fact ever since the war
in Europe broke out. Democracies
move slowly, we are told, and there
was little hurry to do anything about
it. ,
MODERNIZE MUSCLE SHOALS
But recently the government de
cided to do something about that
old-fashioned nitrate plant at Mus
cle Shoals. Everyone knew the proc
esses* for which that plant was in
tended were obsolete, but it seemed
a simple matter to bring them up to
date. It was, but it could be done
only with materials the. duPonts
could supply, if it were to' be done
quickly. The duPonts were eager
to help, BUT—they wanted assur
ances that after the war was over
the government would not use the
duPont’s own devices to produce
cheap nitrates for fertilizers, and
thus compete with the duPonts’ own
fertilizer business.
But no! The government had no
idea of giving any such assurances.
It wanted the duPonts to furnish
the very elements the government
has needed, all these years, to go
into competition with the duPonts.
So that particular supply of ni
trates for explosives was held up.
The new machinery to modernize
the Muscle Shoals plant is now “on
order.”
Then there is another case which
would puzzle our Martian visitor.
For airplanes aluminum is of the
essence. The O. P. M. has just
issued priorities to restrict other
than military uses of this metal. The
day after those orders were issued
Harold Ickes told reporters he had
declined an offer from the Alumi
num company to install another
plant near Bonneville. His reason—
that if the aluminum company took
any more power from Bonneville
than already negotiated for, there
might not be enough for municipali
ties desiring public ownership
plants!
Wonder what our Martian would
think about that!
British Planes Carry
Large Cannon
To anyone who has ridden in an
airplane, the notion of shooting a
cannon from one conjures up all
sorts of horrible possibilities. Per
haps very few people for that rea
son realize the size of the cannon
actually in use by the British in air
plane fighting. The newer fighting
planes made in the United States
for the British must of course be
equipped to carry these guns.
Actually the cannon used by the
British so far are of 37-millimeter
caliber. That means that the diame
ter of the projectile is approximate
ly 1% inches.
Thus the shell fired by a 37-milli
meter cannon from an airplane is
nearly five times the diameter of
the rifle or machine-gun bullet.
EXPERIMENT WITH ‘75’
It is still more impressive to real
ize that this cannon is almost half
the size of the favorite fieldpiece of
the French army, the famous “75.”
Actually, our own army has fired a
75-millimeter gun from an airplane.
Incidentally, while no official an
nouncement has been made that the
army plans using 75s in airplanes as
a regular practice, there was of
course no earthly point in making
the experiment if the ordnance offi
cers did not have that in mind. Some
of the bigger of the new airplanes,
it is estimated, could be equipped
with them to advantage, and prob
ably are being so equipped.
It is also assured here, by ex
perts, though there has been no an
nouncement from London on this
point either, that the new big Brit
ish fighters are being equipped with
75s. •
Obviously this sort of information
is a military secret of the deepest
nature, never to be disclosed until
the full advantage of its surprise
nature has been attained in actual
fighting.
