The State Dep’t is anxious to learn just how Doris (World’s Richest Gal) Duke could enter Italy without a visa, which the State Dep’t didn’t give her. . . . The reason Her bert Hoover’s marriage to a wealthy widder is being ret -ded, they say, is “family static.” . . . Biggest story that ever happened in the Wash ington Press Club didn’t make any of the papers. A U. S. Marine, fed tip with a columnist’s poison about FDR, etc., picked him up bodily and tossed him from the bar into the lobby. After the San Francisco Confer ence, a Russian attache visited Hol lywood as the guest of Gregory Rat- off, the director. . . . Ratoff pointed out numerous movie queens. . . . On one set Ratoff sighed: “They are all so beautiful, but, unfortu nately, they don’t stay happily mar ried very long!” . . . “In Russia," explained the visitor, “one reason marriages last longer is that a wife looks the same after washing her face!” At the 400 (which features named bands) a Broadway song plugger had too much to drink and started being a bore. “Oh,” oh'd Lenore Lemmon, "climb back into your flask!” Errol Flynn’s forthcoming book, “The Showdown,” is said to be bet ter than his first book. ... As Flynn strolled with his friend, artist John Decker, John remarked: “I won der if Hollywood will believe you wrote it?” “Yes,” said Errol, “if they think It’s not good.” In Giro’s the other midnight Jack Haley was seated near an actor who had just lost a chance for a choice role in a film. He was popping off about “all the inefficient directors, blind producers, two-timing agents, etc.” . . . Jack turned to his wife Flo and niftied: “Pardon me, hon ey, but I think I smell somebody burning.” Lee Sullivan, the singer, relays the yam about the two shipwrecked drama critics. They drifted for weeks on a raft. . . . The more frightened of the two started seek- ig forgiveness for his sins. “I’ve been a louse all my life,” he said. “I’ve been cruel to actors. Too often I went out of my way to hurt them. If I’m spared, I prom ise. . . “Just a moment,” shouted the oth er one, “don’t go too far. I think I see smoke from a ship!” An exeentive of the Scientific Re search Development Board had an appointment with Prof. Oppenhei- mer, the scientist who had so much to do with completing the atomic bomb. . . . Oppenheimer was to have registered at the Statler Hotel in Washington. . . . But the caller was told that he was not regis tered, and he wasn’t. . . . This is why. . . .

Nothing New Under the Sun Dept: Bob Berryman of the WOR news room has traced the origin of “wolf” as applied to current usage. ... In the Decameron of Boccaccio, a king with a roving eye was accused of being a “wolf.” The Decameron stories were published in the 16th century. . . . This king wanted a man’s two daughters as his wives— and the father intoned: “I firmly believeth you to be a king and not a ravening wolf!” John W.

THOUGHTS ON THE MARKET Scenes resembling those leading up » the 1930 stock market crash are low visible in all brokerage offices. 'Vnd they are being re-enacted in ;echnicolor. • A burned child dreads the fire, jut an adult will always go for sec- ind degree bums if the tips “are lot” enough. > There is even a more reckless Tiocd in today’s buying due to the fact this is a screwier age in which he gambling fever has never run ligher. Horses, dice, gin rummy and football pools have made America :isk-slappy. • Most people have more cash than they know what to do with, so they ire accepting advice from stran- jers. • The horse players are in the mar ket, too. We heard a fellow rush up when his stock went off a point yes terday and claim a foul. • He is the same one who boasted that he had bought Chrysler and Eastman, and thought they had a food chance in the daily double at the weights. * All some brokerage offices need is a smell of hay, a list of jockeys, an ibjection heard and a morning line. » In fact, it is our belief the stock market should no longer be opened with a gong. It is time to use a bugle. • Remember away back when “Never Again!” was the Voice of America so far as speculating in stocks was concerned?

SEWING CIRCLE ISEEDLECRAFT Reflections on Housing The housing crisis has reached a point where it is suggested that “Tenting Tonight” replace “Home, Sweet Home” as an American folk song. * A four-room fabricated house at $2,399 is on sale at a New York department store. “What floor for residences, landscape gardening and cinder paths, please?” • The old-fashioned American may have been remiss and dumb in many ways, but he never con fused a new home with a chicken house. BACK HOME STUFF Frank Bergen, ex-Princeton quarterback, is now a court magistrate back home and making quite a record for homespun phil osophy. The other day, replying to a wom en’s complaint that the smoke from a kero sene lamp made her apartment unhealthful, Frank came out as a defender of the lamp. * "What do yon mean by that?” he demanded. "I grew np in the kero sene-lamp era, and never knew it to hurt anybody. Did yon trim the wick? Do you realize that it takes a lot of work to keep a kerosene lamp In good condition, but that if you do It, it’s fine?” • Which brings back memories of kero- seners in our boyhood. There were some pretty beautiful ones. The parlor lamp was especially high, wide and fancy. And trim ming the wicks was a nightly chore. Mom was forever polishing the globes. Looking back, they seem the loveliest lamps in the world. We were sent often to the corner store for kerosene, and it just comes back to us how Lutz, the grocer, used to stick a potato over the spout as a cork. • • • Elmer Twitchell says there hasn’t been any real happiness in the world since the old-fashioned wood en beer keg went out. A radio program which makes phone calls at random and offers cash prizes if the subscriber an swers a question had this one the other day, "Under what king was Daniel tossed into the lion’s den?” Elmer Twitchell lost the pot by re plying, "This is a deep hnmiliation, but I can’t even recall the name of the lion.” • • • “Molotov uses the American term ‘Okay’ and knows it means yes in English.”—News Item. * But does he know what means “yes” in Russian? • • • Asked if he didn’t want to take a look at the recent total eclipse of the moon Fred Allen quipped, “No, I’ll catch it next time.” • • • New York showmen are amazed at the development, into a hit show of 1945, of “The Red Mill” a musical first produced in New York thirty-nine years ago. It was put on for a limited run of eight weeks, but has developed into a sellout. Many are the explanations offered, but we think the score, which is almost a grade A cata log of Victor Herberts best known song hits, is mainly responsible. Such melodies as “In Old New York," “Everyday Is Ladies’ Day With Me” and “Because You’re You“ not only delight grandma, but moth er, too, knew them, and even the kids and grandkids have felt their charm on the phonograph end radio. Serve a Breakfast That Spells a Cheery Morning (See Recipes Below) Bright Beginning Do you serve the kind of break fast that demands to be eaten, or are you content to let the family slip away with just a sip of fruit juice and a swallow of hot coffee? Surveys show that people spend an average of 12 minutes eating breakfast. Five minutes more time to eat a good breakfast can give added energy for the day’s work, and about a third of the day’s share in calories and nutrients. Few women spend the time in planning breakfast that they give to other meals. The only way to serve a good breakfast is, of course, to plan it in advance. It should be appetizing and interesting, with foods prepared carefully and served appetizingly. There should be con trast in the texture, flavor and color of foods to avoid monotony. Breakfast, too, can have the glamour that other meals possess. Bright cheerful dishes and linens dispel early morning gloom. Flow ers and other pretty centerpieces make an attractive setting. The breakfast table should be set away from kitchen odors and confusion, and the setting should be as cheery as possible. Above all, be cheerful, yourself! Use Variety in Fruits. Fruits-in-season offer a good way of introducing variety to the break fast. There will be berries, juicy and bright-colored, fruit juices, and then, of course, the fruit itself, halves of grapefruit, sliced oranges, luscious pears, peaches, etc. Incidentally, right now there are winter pears which are plentiful. Anjou pears which run from green to creamy- yellow in skin color are juicy and full-flavored reach the peak of their season about this time and are available until April. The Nelis, which is a russet-skinned, small and extra-sweet pear, starts trickling to the market now and will be available until May. Bose pears which are russet-skinned, with a long tapering neck, and Comice pears which are similar to the Anjou are still available, but are passing. Serve Cereals. Cereals help add carbohydrate or energy to the diet, and they are available in a variety of ways. You might like a nice hot bowl of cooked oatmeal or wheat cereal to start the day, and then again it may be one of the prepared cereals that strikes the fancy. Try a variety in cereals, too. It may be wise to combine the cereal with some fruit to have pic ture-pretty cereals for breakfast. This is easily done with canned fruits, berries or even the fresh, sliced variety. r Lynn Says: You’ll want these handy hints for housekeeping: To keep iron frying pans in good condition, give them a soda bath occasion ally. Mix two tablespoons of soda with two quarts of hot soapy water. Place the frying pans in this and boil gently for a few min utes. Rinse well and wash in more soapy water. Cotton flannel cloths are excel lent for polishing silverware. Keep old flannel cloths on hand and wash them often in hot soapy water. Slow drying at a moderate temperature is best for woolens. Never expose them to excessive heat, direct sun rays or freez ing temperatures. Place a teaspoon of salt in wa ter in which eggs are boiled. This aids in keeping the shell from breaking. Lynn Chambers’ Breakfast Idea Orange-Grapefruit Juice Oatmeal with Cream and Sugar Poached Eggs on Toast Cranberry Marmalade Beverage Popular Breakfast Breads. Toast is our national breakfast bread favorite, but it should netfer be allowed to reach the doldrum stage. Different types of may be used, and of course, there are nu merous spreads to entice weary breakfast appetites. Picture the pleasure of the family when they see golden slices of toast with a dish of cranberry orange marma lade that can be spread thick while the toast is hot. Or, cranberry pre serves, made from fresh berries, are particularly appealing to morn ing appetites because of their tart, bright flavor. If you plan breakfasts carefully, then you will find time to spare for baking some of those delicious quick breads that make such a de lightful feast of this first meal of the day. Here are several bright beginnings: Honey Butter Roll-Ups. (Makes 16) 2 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons shortening % to % cup milk 1 tablespoon melted butter 2 tablespoons honey Yz teaspoon cinnamon Sift flour, baking powder and salt.

Roll each por tion into a circular, shape about V« inch thick. Brush with melted butter and honey. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cut into pie-shaped pieces. Roll, be ginning at wide end. Bake in a hot (450-degree) oven 10 to 12 minutes. Date-Orange Muffins. (Makes 1 dozen) cup sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 tablespoon sugar H teaspoon salt 1 cup dates, cut fine Grated rind of 1 large orange 1V4 cups whole wheat flour Ya cup molasses 1 egg, beaten 1 cap milk Yt cup shortening, melted Sift together white flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

Do not beat until smooth. Spoon bat ter into well-greased muffin tins, filling them % full. Bake in a hot (400-degree) oven for about 20 min utes. Don’t forget that eggs add nour ishment and interest to breakfast and may be pre pared in any number of ways. You’ll like sau sage-flecked ome let, bacon-flecked waffle, creamy scrambled eggs with ham, and poached eggs riding on top of golden brown toast. And if it’s variety you’re seeking, then try t^ese special pears filled with sausage for a breakfast treat: Sausage Pears.

Pack cooked, drained sausage into pears, filling generously. Arrange pears upright in baking dish, add water and bake in a moderate (350- degree) oven for 30 minutes or un til pears are tender.

GOLDEN TEXT—I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah even the Lord, la my strength.—Isaiah 12:2. “Is thy God able to deliver thee?” was the question asked of Daniel in the lions’ den (Dan. 6:20). It is in the minds and on the lips of many in every hour of crisis. God is able to deliver. Moses found that out when in answer to his complaint that the Lord had done nothing for his suffering peo ple (Exod. 5:22), the Lord revealed Himself as the One who was not only able but ready to take them out of their bondage. I. God’s Promise (6:6-8). Moses was to remember that he was dealing with the Eternal One, unchangeable, and always true to His word and able to make His will come to pass (v. 2, 3). So often men in dealing with God think of Him in terms of their own weakness and failure. What we need is to have a Godlike concep tion of God, not a manlike idea of Him. God is the infinite and the Eternal One with whom we have no right to quarrel, and whose deal ings with us are too high for us to Judge (Ps. 139:1-6). God’s covenant with His people; was established (v. 4). He had heard their cry (v. 5), and His de-j liverance was sure (v. 6). The only thing Moses had to do was to wait and see God work. That word "wait” is a little one. It seems to call for no effort, to be easy of fulfillment; yet it seems to be the hardest thing for a human being to do. Christians who can speak and work for God when things are active and moving become querulous and despondent when they have to wait or when they are laid aside for a time. His promise is-sure. That is not just a religious sentiment. It is a fact, and it is proved by history. n. God’a Plan (13:17-19). There was a direct, easy road along the coast of the Mediter ranean up to Canaan, but God with His pillar of cloud and fire did not lead in that way. How strange that He should take them by a longer, more difficult way! Not at all. He knew the dan ger of the easy way. It was there that the warlike Philistines would be lying in ambush. Such immedi ate conflict would discourage Israel and tempt them to return to the fleshpots of Egypt. So He took them the other way. Note that God’s guidance for them was one of intelligent planning, not just impulse or chance. He knew what to do, and tie did it, for their good. God has a plan, not only for the nations, but also for individuals, for your life and mine. Let us find His will for us, for it is good, accept able and perfect (Rom. 12:1, 2). Note the honoring of the faith of Joseph in God’s promise (v. 19). The memory of his assurance was a blessing to his descendants, and they honored it and him. What will our descendants have to say about our faith in God? III. God’s Presence (13:20-22). Our God does not just send a plan or program to His people. He is al ways with them and is ready to go before them. God’s plan is made known to His people as they follow Him step by step. This means that there must be guidance, moment by moment, if His plan is to be worked out. He gives such guidance and it is only when His children fail to follow it that the pattern of life becomes confused. The field of divine guidance is one in which Christians have widely divergent experiences. Some know the sweet, unconfused daily experi ence of God’s hand upon them, car ing for even the minor details (or are they minor?) of life. Others have known the directive power of God in some life crisis, but not in the ordinary affairs of life. Many, and perhaps most, think of divine guid ance as a spiritual theory of which the preacher talks, but know noth ing of it in their own lives. What makes this great difference? Faith—or the lack of it. Those who trust God accept and receive His blessed leadership moment by mo ment. It is as simple as that. Oth ers reach out and take it when the pressure of life makes them cast themselves on God. Others simply muddle along “doing their best,” which is not their best, for God is not in it. The pillar of cloud, which became luminous at night, was ideal for the guidance of IsraeL It provided shade from the hot sun by day, and it was a sure guide in the dark ness of the night. We who believe in Christ have an even better and more precious evidence of God’s presence—the Holy Spirit who indwells us. He reveals God’s will to us, urging us on, or restraining us as the need may be. Are we obedient to His blessed promptings? Do we walk in the light of His perfect guid ance?
