•NO STARCH'
##«|«HEY STARCHED my shirts
again,” we said to the wife.
“Well, don’t say it so accusing
ly,” she replied. “I didn’t do it. It’s
the laundry.”
"But the laundry has been told
again and again not to put any
starch in ’em,” we said.
“I’m all in from repeating the
ord ’No starch’ to it,” said the
fwor
wife.
"What does the laundry say?”
“It says ‘O. K.! No starch.’ ”
“And back it comes starched
in technicolor, with the collars
on summer shirts as hard as
lawn-mower blades, and the
cuffs so hard you have to but
ton them with a chisel and
hammer. Why don’t we change
laundries?” we moaned.
“Hah!” snorted the missus,
GRACE NOLL CROWELLi
The Everlasting Arms
/J 1 ROUND me and about me and beneath me,
r JM Closer than breathing, closer than any
friend.
The everlasting arms draw near to shield me.
To comfort and to keep me to the end.
Earthly arms grow weary in their holding.
Earthly arms may fail the weight they bear.
But oh, these everlasting arms, enfolding.
Have never one brief moment failed me there.
I wake each morning in their blessed keeping,
I rise to serve, or wait his blessed will.
Life passes—whether waking, whether sleeping,
God’s everlasting arms will hold me still.
“Change ’em and what do you
get?”
“More starch,” we suggested.
“Exactly! The laundries or the
laundry workers are in a great
national conspiracy in restraint *of
soft collars and cuffs. They are in
a secret society dedicated to the
use of starch. Their motto is ‘You’ll
take starch and like it!’ *’
• • •
We resolved to investigate. We
spread our shirts among different
laundries. Our routine was the
same at each laundry.
“Does this laundry do shirts
without starching them?” we asked.
“Certainly. All you gotta do is
specify you don’t want no starch,
mister.”
“I so specify. Do you want it in
writing?"
“Naw. I’ll put a note on it “no
starch.’ Then it goes through and
comes out with no starch.”
“I’ve been putting notes ‘no
starch’ on my shirts for years,”
we said.
The laundryman looked sur
prised. “I can’t remember
that,” he said. “Are you sure
they came back starched?”
"Look at my neck. You think
those red circles are from
rope?” we demanded.
• • •
"Some laundries are careless,
you know how it is. With us when
a customer says no starch he gets
no starch. We got a system.”
“What is it?”
“We have a starch department
and a no-starch department. All
the stuff that don’t want starch
goes to the starch department.
Also we got a starch superintend
ent and a no-starch superintendent.
And on top of that we got starch
and no-starch classification clerks
and inspectors. Here’s something
else, we don’t use mhch starch
anyhow, even if you ask for
starch.”
“So these shirts will come back,
with no starch then?”
“You can take my starch—beg
pardon—my word for it."
“Positively no starch!”
“Positively! ”
The laundry came back in a
few days. We felt confident and
carefree as we opened it. Then
we leaped through the second
story window.
“I know,” called the wife, look
ing out, “Starch!”
“Starch,” we admitted, crawling
from the shrubbery, cut and bleed
ing.

VIDEO AND EDUCATION
College courses by television are
now being announced. We suppose
the grads will win iceboxes instead
of diplomas.
*
And get minkskins instead of
sheepskins.
*
We can see it all now . . . the
baccalaureate by Howdy Doody.
*
But a lot of people have felt that
our educational system flickered
too much as it is.
*
Personally we feel that edu
cation hasn’t been dramatic
enough. A jackpot could have
helped us through ancient his
tory. And we are positive that
we would have done better
under our professors if they had
introduced puppets in the
Latin, French and mathemat
ics courses.
*
We just had to get an education,
such as it was, by study. We had
no outside aerial.
*
But now we are entering an era
when ignorance may be easily at
tributable to the fact that the set
was connected up poorly and
lacked a "booster.”
• » •
Your education may become
a little dependent on fuses and
you may find that your low
scholarship resulted from a
small screen.

im touching material for his talk.

W HEN DOUG PRINGLE signed
a contract to illustrate stories
for Midweek Fiction magazine at
a figure that surpassed any amount
he had earned in the rather uncer
tain past, he felt that he had
reached a mile
stone in his ca
reer.
“Now,” he de
clared to his
wife, Aggie,
“we can begin to have a few of the
things we’ve been doing without for
the past seven years.”
“And the first thing we’ll have"
Aggie told him, “will be a nice
little camp on Spur Lake where
you can work amid surroundings
that you love and where, accord
ingly, things will be easier for both
of us.”
“The camp,” he told her
gravely, “will come immedi
ately after Mrs. Pringle ha*
replenished her wardrobe.”
It turned out that Aggie could
have her new clothes and they
could purchase the camp and not
feel too extravagant They went up
to Spur Lake the following week
and talked to a real estate agent.
They had been there many times
before. They knew just what they
wanted for a camp site and where
they wanted it. That afternoon the
real estate agent made the easiest
sale he’d transacted in years.
The Pringles sat down and made
up a schedule of guests for week
ends. They wanted to have com
pany. This was the first time they
had lived in a place big enough to
hold guests conveniently. They
were eager to share their posses
sion.
And so two weeks later the first
guests arrived. Doug and Aggie
slept in the work room and every
thing was fine. All hands had a
swell time. The guests departed in
high enthusiasm. In fact, their en
thusiasm apparently bubbled over,
for in the middle of the following
week some friends dropped in who
had “heard so much about the cute
little camp the Pringles had
bought.” Aggie and Doug asked
them to stay over night and they
did.
The summer hadn’t progressed
very far when Doug decided they
ought to turn the present work
shop into another bedroom.
“I’ll build a studio for myself
down by the lake. It seems there
are a lot of people who are just
dying to see our cute little camp.
Gosh! After all, I’m a working
man.”
It’s fun having guests, though,”
Aggie said.
“Sure,” Doug agreed.
So the Pringles built a studio for
Doug, a rather attractive building
that added to the general outlay.
He moved into it with all his equip
ment—and the next week-end Ag
gie moved in with him.
In August the Hollands ar
rived. The Hollands were bores.
Steve Holland belonged to
Doug’s golf club. They were
friends of soipe of the Pringles’
friends.
H OWEVER, they arrived and
Mrs. Holland spied the studio
and wanted to look at it. Aggie
smiled wearily. She was getting
used to this sort of thing. She led
them down to Doug’s workshop and
Mrs. Holland peeked inside.
"Why, there’s no one there!” she
exclaimed.
Aggie nodded. "Doug’s away. On
business.”
The Hollands were disappointed
at not being able to see the artist
at work, but there was nothing
they could do about it. They de
parted shortly after.
At dinner time Doug came home.
He was in high spirits.
“I’ve found just the place I
wanted. A room right in the
heart of Goodwin’s business
district. Plenty of noise and
dust—a place where a man can
do a real day’s work without
being bothered."
Aggie smiled fondly.
‘The Brants are arriving tomor
row.”
"Swell!” said Doug. "Show them
the works and tell them I’m away
—on business."

PUZZLE NO. 14
r
What Is Justice?
Lesson for September 4, 1949
★ ★ ★ ★ -
SCRIPTURE: P*alm» 49:1-7; TZ; 81.
DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm
72: 1-8, 12-13.
HOUSttiOlD
Memos
• M M ^
r'-’j'- i i- ......
E verybody is in favor of jus
tice but not everybody knows
what justice is. Justice is more
fundamental than democracy. If
we believe that democracy is the
best form of government, it is only
because we believe that justice can
be better secured in this way than
in any other.
• • •
Justice is as old as God
Since for at least 3,000 years his
torians, politicians, philosophers
and theolo g i a n s
have been wrang
ling over the mean
ing of justice, you
won’t learn the last
word about it mere
ly by studying one
Sunday school les
son. But this is the
place to remind
ourselves that jus
tice as an ideal, D r . Foreman
and democracy as
a means of reaching that ideal
were not bom yesterday.
Labor Day will recall the
great service* rendered to de
mocracy by the organized
workers of the world, for ex
ample, in the push they have
given to free and universal ed
ucation. But democracy Is older
than the labor movement, is
older than July 4, 1776, is older
than the Magna Charta, is old
er than the Roman empire, in
which one of many mottoes was
"Let justice be done even if
the sky caves In!”
Justice and democracy go back
to the ancient Hebrews, the people
who wrote the Old Testament. It
was written in their laws, preached
by their prophets, sung in their
Psalms. But of course they did not
invent it. They proclaimed it; but
jurtic® is older than the human
race Hie whole Bible and not only
the Old Testament teaches that jus
tice is rooted in the nature of God
hiniself. No unjust person can be
called godly.
• • •
Songs of Justice
O UR Psalms for this week give
us some valuable li^ht on what
justice is. Some people think that
if everybody were rich, that would
be justice. Psalm 49 shows how
foolish that notion is. It says in al
most so many words, “You can t
take it with you.”
Riches do not spell happiness.
Making everybody rich might
mean making many people
miserable. Money by itself does
not cure the ills of life, it may
make them wofse or even
create new ones. Many a fam
ily in the “upper brackets” has
troubles that would vanish if
they had less money.
Psalms 72 and 82 give us more
positive suggestions. Psalm 72 sees
it as the king’s main duty to Judge
the people with righteousness and
justice. The *king was the govern
ment, in those days; he was the
executive and the legislative and
the judicial branch of government
all rolled into one. In modern
terms, the business of government
is something more than furnishing
police to lock up and punish wrongs
after they have been done.
The welfare of the people is the
concern of government. When pub
lic officials take any other view of
their job, they are off the beam.
In a democracy, the government is
the people, that is to say, ourselves.
If things are bad we are to blame
for it; if they are going to be any
better, we shall have to work for
it. Every appeal to a king, in the
Old Testament, when translated
into terms of a democratic coun
try, means an appeal to the peo
ple.
# • •
The Little People
J USTICE always has to be con
cerned with the little people. It
was true in the simple little world
of the ancient Hebrews, it is just
as true in our global complex
world, that the strong will always
exploit the weak if there is not a
hand to stop them.
God is always for the "poor,”
the “chUdren of the needy,”
and be is always against the
“oppressor.” In ancient Israel
the oppressor was usually the
big land-owner who treated his
slaves with cruelty or under
paid his workers. Nowadays
the oppressor is any exploiter,
any man or group of men who
will use power to squeeze out
or crush down the little man.
But justice is positive, not nega
tive, prevention and not cure only.
Concern for social justice includes
taking care of people laid low by
an epidemic or made homeless by
fires; but it goes far beyond this.
It will mean working for conditions
such that no one will be forced to
live in unsanitary firetraps.

Serve Good Breakfasts for Play-Packed Days
fS«« Recipes Below>
Breakfast Essentials
T hough its “summer time
and the livin’ is easy,” many
of us find the season just like the
rest of the year, busy and activity
packed. With youngsters out of
school, full of
vigor and ready
to play at top
speed just as
soon as the sun
is up, days start
early and are
full, for mother
as well as the
youngsters.
Since young
sters are up bright and early,
eager to get out of the house to
the fascinating work of play as
quickly as possible, mother has to
keep on her toes to see that they
get a good breakfast. Children
bum a lot of energy on days when
they can play as they want, and
they should be properly fortified
with nutritious food.
Good breakfasts are simple and
easy to prepare. The meal should
include at least these five essen
tials; fruit, cereal with milk, bread,
butter and a beverage, which for
youngsters should be milk or cocoa.
You may add to these essentials
bacon, eggs, ham, sausage,
creamed chipped beet and such
things, but at least you know that
you’ll be doing a good job with the
five "musts.”
Vary breakfast cereals to keep
interest at a high level. A bowl of
hot oatmeal, rich in body-building
proteins, thiamine, niacin and iron,
can be just as tempting in warm
weather as cool if topped with
cold milk and some of the season’s
fresh and choice fruit.
The next day serve a prepared
cereal, then switch back to cooked
cereal qnd so forth.

D ON’T UNDERESTIMATE the
value of hot bread for break
fast and appetite appeal. Here are
some muffins with the nutty flavor
of oatmeal which are bound to
please as they come hot out of the
oven with butter melting on them.
As a special time-saving feature,
the muffins are made from a home
made oatmeal muffin mix. Make
the mix at any time when you
have a few spare moments, store
in a covered container on the
pantry shelf, and you will need only
to measure it out, add egg and
milk to it for quick muffins.

Add beaten egg and milk to muf

cups % full. Bake in a hot (425°F.)
oven 15 to 20 minutes.
YOU’LL WANT the muffin mix
to serve for luncheon and dinner
purposes, too, so here are some
interesting variations that can be
made from the mix:
Bacon Muffins Glazed with
Honey Butter: Place a few bits of
cooked bacon In center of each
muffin before baking. Two or
three minutes before mrifins have
finished baking, remove from
oven and brush with honey butter
(made by combining 1 tablespoon
honey with 1 tablespoon butter).
Return to oven and finish baking.
Cheese Muffins: Fold 34 cup
grated sharp cheese into batter
just before baking.
•Marmalade Muffins: Place 34
teaspoon marmalade or preserves
on top of each muffin before bak-
ing.
...
J UST AS VARIETY in cereals ia
desirable for breakfast, so it is
with eggs. Here are some simple
but different ways of serving this
nutritious food.
Frizzled Eggs
(Serves 4)
34 pound chipped beef
4 teaspoons butter
4 eggs, beaten
34 teaspoon pepper
34 cup milk
Cook dried beef in butter until
slightly crisp. Combine eggs, pep
per and milk and mix well. Pour
over beef and cook as for scram
bled eggs. Serve with catsup or pre
serves, if desired.
Eggs in Bacon Rings
(Serves 6)
6 slices bacon
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
3 English Muffins, split,
toasted, buttered
Grease bottoms of custard cups.
Curl a slice of bacon around inside
of each cup. Break an egg inside
each bacon ring, dust with salt
and pepper, and bake in a moder
ate oven (350°) until egg is firm
but not hard. Remove carefully
from cup so that egg and bacon
remain together and place on half
the English muffin. Note: The
bacon may be fried or broiled be
fore placing in the cup, if more
crisp bacon is desired.
Poached Eggs in Apple Rings
(Serves 6)
2 large apples
2 tablespoons fat
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
Wash and core apples; cut cross
wise into slices 34 inch thick. Fry
apples in fat 2 to 3 minutes on each
side. Place an egg on each apple
slice and season with salt and pep
per. Cover pan closely and cook
over low heat until eggs are firm.
Lobster needs little to make a
delicious salad. Combine flaked
lobster with some Thousand Island
dressing and serve on a bed of
greens.
Stuffed olives, hard-cooked eggs
and chopped chives give chilled
tuna fish an unusual flavor when
used for salads.
Extend crabmeat with cooked
halibut when you plan to serve a
crowd with a casserole or as a
salad. Celery, sweet pickle and
lemon juice will bring out flavors
when they’re seryed as salad.
