ITe have not had to steal and hate and kill to secure our homes and give our children the greatest advantages the wot Id By KATHLEEN NORRIS N SOME of these heart-shak ing days it might be good to remember some facts about ourselves. We are not a belligerent na tion, nor one inclined naturally to wars. We have never had to be, in our splendid isolation, strength and prosperity. We have not had to steal and hate and kill to secure our homes and give our children the greatest advantages the world can supply. Now we are forced into a role for which we were not prepared. We don’t like it, and we mean to finish the job as rapidly as we can and then go back to our decencies. But—if we MUST get into the world trouble, it is good to know that our slow-gathering military strength is going to be of a power beyond anything that human war fare has ever known before, it may take us months—even years— to gather our full momentum, but it is not our way to stop with half measures, and we will not stop until rapacious and quarrelsome nations are thoroughly convinced that their ways are not the right ways. A Wealthy Nation. We operate, in America, almost two-thirds of all the telephones and telegraph systems in the world. We own two-thirds of all the railways. We have all but 20 per cent of all motor cars. We produce 70 per cent of the world’s oil, 60 per cent of her wheat and cotton, half the great globe’s copper and pig iron, and 40 per cent of the coal and lead output of all countries put together. Two-thirds of all banking re sources are ours. The purchasing power of our population is greater than that of 500,000,000 Europeans, greater than that of a billion Asi atics. And yet our young fresh college boys and girls inform us firmly yet kindly, now and then, that the sys tem that built this stupefying su periority is somehow all wrong! Now put yourself in the place of a German housewife or a Japanese one, reading these facts on a Sun day morning. Would your heart fail you a little as you asked yourself, “Are these the people, protected by their oceans, strong and tall and educated and accustomed to a thou sand advantages, luxuries, posses sions of which MY people know noth ing—are THESE the people of whom our mad warmakers have made en emies?” Oh, to be sure, we weren’t ready .—they may gloat over that. They may gloat over that JUST LIT TLE WHILE LONGER. We never saw ’the need of conscripting all our young men into armies, as they did. We never saw the need of starving and denying ourselves so that the money that we have ’spent for schools and homes, camping and sports, traps and shows and frocks should be molded into bullets and guns: And if these enemy nations had had sane leaders we never OULD have had need of this mili- r.y preparedness, nor would they. But^tiey have called the tune, and in the end they’ll pay the piper. Other Dark Days Recalled. So'don’t’be to,e much swayed by' momentary discouragements. News can’t be cheerful just now; it is run ning along lines of strategic retreats and stressing the enemies’ heavy losses as they take point after point. It did just the same thing in 1917 and 1918. We grew sick of enemy victories; ithere was no sign of can supply. STARTING NOW This week Kathleen Norris tells about her conversation with a well-known columnist, who be lieves that it is about time for Germany to break under the strain of withstanding the ever increasing might of the Allied armies; for us to begin thinking about the peace that will follow our victory . . . Whether that columnist was right or wrong, there is something we must do now . .. We must begin to think and act in terms of the justice and kindness we want that peace to represent. A better world is not made over night, nor made inevitable by the fairest of treaties. breaking anywhere, there was no light. And then suddenly, like the crack ling and splitting of a lighted fuse, came unbelievable rumors. Women and men were talking to each other in the streets in downtown Washing ton, “Did you hear—it couldn’t be true—we heard that the Kaiser is abdicating—the Germans are talk ing of a truce.” And then headlines five inches high. “Peace — peace — peace at last!” That was after four years and three months of war, during which time the leader of the English ar mies had admitted that their “backs were to the wall.” That was after the enemy had taken much terri tory and possessed himself of oil wells and iron mines. That was aft er Czarist Russia had capitulated and dropped out of the fight. That was after one of our most famous Washington commentators had in formed us that with her fresh re sources Germany could fight on for at least another five years. Last week I was talking to one of our best-known columnists, a man whose daily comment upon world events is used in more than a hun dred newspapers. He knows Ger many well; for ten years he lived in all the European capitals by turns. In the course of a general conver sation he said that he would be very much in favor of America’s adopt ing the Swiss method of military training for boys, after the war. I am not quite sure what that is, but I believe that instead of drafting all boys for a three-year term they take them for six weeks a year only, keeping it up for all the years be tween 18 and 35. Someone picked up his phrase and said hopefully. “After the war? Are we talking of after the war?” Gradual Wearing Down. He said seriously, “Yes, it is al most time for that. We are ham mering now at a dozen war fronts. The results show very little. But the steady, strengthening blows are deadly. Even little gains by the Al lies are sickening news for the peo ples who have slaved and starved, and who are grieving and freezing now, wondering what the. outcome must be, knowing that whatever the terras of peace are they will be kinder to them now than a year from now, and kinder a year from now than after five more agonizing years of this.” Of course it was what we wanted to hear, but I don’t believe he said it for that." It seems to me that when'you consider the facts indicat ed earlier in this article, and a thou sand others like them, it might very possibly be the truth. BREMERTON NAVY HOSPITAL SEATTLE, WASH.—One day my daughter and son-in-law, with the two older children went with me to Bremerton, Wash. After a very pleasant luncheon with Mrs. Taf- finder, wife of '.dmiral Sherwoode Ayerst Taffi.-der, commandant of the navy yard, we visited the hos pital with Capt. Dan Hunt. This is not as big a hospital as those in San Francisco or San Diego, but it has been somewhat enlarged lately. There were a number of patients from the northern area, not all of them, however, from the battlefront. A good many boys get hurt on board ship. In all these hospitals there are a number of nervous cases, some of whom, perhaps, will never be able to resume work in the armed forces, but may be able to take up their civilian occupations again. They have some wards for the care of navy dependents, and I saw a number of wives whose husbands are off on foreign duty. Seven babies were in the nursery, and sev eral children were recovering from more or less serious illnesses. This is not a separate hospital building, as it was at the naval air station in San Diego, but is a part of the regular hospital. The patients pay $3.50 a day, just as they do in San Diego. I had not been at this navy yard since the President was assistant secretary of the navy. We visited all the navy yards on this coast in the winter of 1914, and the change is simply breath taking. What used to be a golf course is now covered with shops and great activity is going on everywhere. • • • SEATTLE’S VICTORY SQUARE Next day at noon, I spoke here in Victory square. Ever since last May, Seattle has carried on noon day meetings in Victory square. Al ways they have a record of bond sales read. In addition, they make a point of bringing interesting peo ple to talk at that hour on anything to do with the war effort. This day an army band, belonging to a Washington, D. C., regiment, played very well. In compliance with Donald Nelson’s request, the newspapers here, as well as in other parts of the country, are responsible for the scrap metal drive, and they had charge of this program. • • • AN AWAKENING FILM I saw a picture the other day which was taken in China by Mr. Mark L. Moody, an American busi ness man who has spent some 25 years in the Far East. He had ex ceptional opportunities for taking pictures when the Japanese took Shanghai and various nearby cities. The film is called “Ravaged Earth,” and he tells me his desire is to awaken the people in this coun try to a knowledge of the kind of adversary they have in the Japa nese. They are certainly appalling pictures. • • • ‘NERVES’ IN ARMED FORCES In San Francisco, among other places, I visited the army hospital. There are new buildings there, too, but on the whole, it gives one less feeling of hurried change than most of the other hospitals. It is evident everywhere that an effort is being made to use all the new scientific knowledge which can con tribute to the better care of the men in service. I would surmise, however, that we are not giving our draftees a suf ficiently careful psychiatric exami nation, before they are taken into service, for there seem to be a con siderable number of maladjust ments which may or may not be come liabilities in the army. In the navy, too, I have seen some cases of what one might call “nerves.” There seems to be more attention find understanding of these cases once they are in the services than in the pre-induction period. If once they are taken into the services, of course they become a charge on the medical services of our government. • • • PROMOTING GOOD WILL Also in San Francisco, I went to a tea at Pacific House. Mrs. Wil liam Denman has been very active in promoting, through Pacific House, closer relations between the vari ous consuls stationed in' San Fran cisco and the students who come from so many South American and Far Eastern countries. The students will all return to their own countries to be ambassa dors of good will for us if their ex periences here make them really understand this nation and its peo ple. I met a very sweet young Chi nese woman who is a student of medicine. She is planning to return as soon as she finishes te work in the rural areas of China. • • • PREVENTING RACE ANTAGONISM That afternoon in San Diego, I went to a meeting in the parlor of the Methodist church for Bethune- Cookman college. It is interesting to me that three meetings in behalf of this college have been arranged in the state of California. This shows there is recognition of the need for better understanding of our minority groups, and of the value of trained leaders who can create good will and prevent antagonism between people of different races. Halloween Pranks October’s the month which flaunts her gay, burnished colors as a pre lude to winter. It’s the month of ap ples and cider, of- pumpkins and squash against dry sheaves of corn stalk, of fragrant gingerbread or doughnuts fried crisnlv tender in hot sizzling deep October’s the month of Halloween —when witches, spooks and black cats make merry. Big ones or wee ones will love a party that mingles what's best in October with the spookiest of what’s Halloween. Pretty up with a party and give your spirits a lift with traditional food that’s easy on purse strings, a hit with the party-goers. Decorations can be nature’s own, a pumpkin or two whole or cut into a jolly face lit with candle glow, squash and ap ples banked with deep yellow, brown or red leaves, bowls of apples, grapes, popcorn and spicy drinks. Let the children paste black cats, owls and witches onto mugs and in vitations inviting guests to come as their favorite spook be it an owl, witch astride a broomstick, or a slinking cat. Have a good hot dish if you are having the Hslloween party indoors —something fixed in advance that you can put in the oven to get warm, slip out in a hurry to get to the table like tuna fish souffle, cheese fondue, macaroni and cheese with broiled bacon slices, or a hamburger roast. Outdoor plans may include a wienie roast, with the children participat ing at the outdoor fireplace or grill. If you prefer hamburgers, fix the patties indoors with their season ings, wrap in wax ready for broil ing. Wienies require thorough wash ing. * • • Construct a simple grill outdoors for roasting wieners if you aren’t lucky enough to have a brick grill. This will take a lot of the rough- house outdoors and save wear and tear on your house. Games will most likely be outdoors if it isn’t too cold as the revelers will want to roam with spirits and ghosts. Few foods equal the deliciousness of wienies roasted over the fiames on forks or sticks fashioned from branches, depending on your degree of going in for naturalness. Plenty of long buns, already split indoors before the party and heaped high in a basket, are indicated. They’re best when toasted—with lots of butter, mus tard, relish, cat sup v.r homemade chili sauce as ac companiments for wienies roasted to doneness a taste of smoke and ashes. with If you go in for toasting marsh mallows along with wienies, try them rolled in coconut just for a taste of something different. They’re really good! You can’t have enough hot foods as the weather is bound to be on the crisp and chilly side. There will LYNN SAYS: The Score Card: Comer your share of these food bargains dur ing the next few weeks: Cabbage, apples, plums, pears, green pep pers, lima beans and cauliflower.

Halloween Party Roasted Wienies on Buns Mustard Relish ♦Gingerbread ‘Doughnuts •Mulled Pineapple Juice •Taffy Popcorn •Recipes Given be cheers from the boisterous and ahs from the more conservative if you serve this golden, pineapple drink with a suspicion of spice. The vitamins B1 and C in the pineapple won’t permit any let-down in morale and pep: •Moiled Pineapple Juice. (Serves 4-6) 1 inch stick of cinnamon 3 whole cloves V 34 teaspoon eloves 34 teaspoon grated nutmeg 1 quart canned, unsweet ened Hawaiian pineapple Juice Pinch of salt Tie the spices in a small piece of cheesecloth, add them to the pine apple juice, and bring to the boiling point, but do not boiL Add salt. Serve immediately. Gingerbread wears a party air if you decorate the tops with a frosting outline of a Halloween symbol after it is cut into slices. Here’s a recipe for gingerbread that’s light as down and exquisitely fragrant with spices in correct proportions: •Gingerbread. 34 cup shortening 34 cup brown sugar 34 cup light molasses 34 eup boiling water 1 beaten egg 134 cups flour 34 teaspoon salt 34 teaspoon soda 34 teaspoon ginger 34 teaspoon cinnamon Pour water over shortening and add sugar, molasses and egg. Beat well. Add sifted dry l gredients, beat until smooth. Bake in a waxed- paper-lined square pan in a mod erate (350-degree) oven. Cool in pan. If it’s doughnuts you’ve a liking for, I’d suggest the kind made with sour cream or milk. They have a lightness of a feather that is the criterion for a “sinker.” •Sour Milk Dongbnuts. (Makes 2 dozen) 3 cups flour 34 cup sugar 1 tablespoon melted shortening 34 teaspoon soda 2 eggs 34 teaspoon salt 34 teaspoon nutmeg 34 cap soar milk Sift flour, sugar, nutmeg and salt.

Fry in deep hot fat (360-370 degrees F.) until golden brown. Drain on brown paper. Fun’s in store for the youngsters if you let them polish off the party with these old-fashioned, sugar* saving popcorn balls: •Taffy Popcorn. 4 cups popped corn 2 cups shelled peanuts 34 cap molasses 34 cap sugar 1 tablespoon batter 1 tablespoon vinegar 34 cap water 34 teaspoon soda Mix molasses, sugar, butter, water and vinegar. Cook slowly and with out stirring until the crack stage is reached. Add soda and stir well. Add remaining ingredients and mix well before pouring into shallow, well-greased pans. When cold, cut into bars or squares. Cakr Making? Bread Making? Cookie Baking:' Budget Fixing? Housekeeping? You name the problem and explain it.
