A foundation principle for a dinner menu consists of meat or fish, vegetables, bread and butter, a beverage and a plain dessert. ‘The meat varies in kind, of course, and the vegetables are chosen to go with the particular meat served. Piec are & favorite dessert and dings - that are substantial. Light jellies, creamy pudd and fluffy whips, are generally far from pleasing the average man’s palate. He may eat them, but not with the same relish as a pie. or even a bread pudding rich with plums and having a chocolate or other rather thick sauce. Soups do not satisfy & man, however hearty the soup may be, if they are in place of a meat or fish. A woman may find clam chowder. a hearty vegetable soup, or a rich corn bisque satisfies her for the main course. provided it is followed by a salad and & dessert. Do not try to serve such & mesl to a man if you expect him to like your table. It is true that the average man prefers what he ferms a thick soup to a thin one—meaning any variety of consomme. But he takes it as a first course, or a course early in a dinner menu, not as & main course. A hearty soup may be sutficient for a supper provided the dinner has been espectally substantial. It does not suit fer a main luncheon dish, as it may for supper. Most men find luncheon or supper dishes made from leftover meat or fish from the dinner pleasing. It is for these meals that the homemaker c“l‘l concoct thrifty dishes particularly well. The roll-and-coffee . continental breakfast has little or no appeal for American men. They want something nourishing, such as eggs. bacon (or both), fish or some one of the many breakfast styles of meat that are in favor in special districts and during particular seasons, such as scrapple in Philadelphia, in cold ther; sau- sage and buckwheat New Eng- land Winter days, One word more about dinners—don't omit dessert.

Presently he came in sight of them. Little Miss Frisky was sitting on a big stone.” The big stranger was sitting on another stone facing her. He not only was big, but he was handsome. Even Impy had to admit that he was hand- some. Apparently little Miss Frisky thought so0, tco. When the stranger moved toward her she darted down be- tween some stones. Impy could see her Ppeeping out at the big stranger. It was quite clear that she admired him. Right then and there jealousy filled the heart of Impy the black Chipmunk. He was jealous of that big stranger. He didn't want little Miss Prisky to admire him. He didn't want that big stranger around at all. He wanted little Miss himself. Almost before he realized what he was ‘doing he had barked a sharp challenge to the big, handscme stranger. Instantly the stranger turned and barked back at him.

Food for Reflection. Agriculture is the first industry of all lands. Food is the first and last thing living things think about. This year's drought, perhaps one of the greatest on record, seems {o have called our atten- to the significance of food. Economists remind us that food was the first form of property; that pota- toes, tobacco, corn and barley were all at one time or another common curre; cy. Food was money before the days of mints, banks and auditors. Sociologists remind us that most if not all social . institutions —and - their usages grew out of plant cultivation and animal husbdndry. They show that civilization passed through the hunting stage into the agricultural stage; that | society was not a settled thing until man established a permanent habitat and began to cultivate grain and to do- mesticate the goat and the ox. The quest for food led to the covery-of the world. There never w a migration that did not originate in | some desire to gain a better and easier livelihood. We are able to see something of the fundamental influence of food on the language. Nothing but our mental atti- tude toward food will explain such e: pressions as these: “Hunger for truth, “the flavor of conviction, flection,” “mental craving, perience,” “sweet memori ‘sets my teeth on edge,” “makes me sick,” lon't, bite off more than you can chew.” (Copyright, 1930.)

BY J. P. GLASS. i ! SUCH AN Benjamin Haydon, the great histori- cal painter, went to the Duke of Wel- lington, when the latter was prime minister of England, with a project for detailed decorations in the House of Parliament. The duke had several reasons against : the plan. “lfilt. first of all,” he said, “I must object to the grant of any public money for such an object.” Some time later machinations of jealous enemies preventing Haydon from selling a picture that would have put him in funds, he was thrown into prison for debt. He got out soon, but more difficulties followed. In his dis- tress he again appealed to Wellington, but after an -exchange of letters the duke ignored him. Haydon now begged for some sort of public employment. He was starv- ing, he said. The duke replied with a letter of kindly advice! The old warrior was as watchful of his own finances as of the govern- ment’s. He lived in utmost simplicity at the Castle of Walmer, which he received in recognition of his military services. His bed Toom was bare of a carpet and he slept in an iron bed no more luxu- rious than a camp cot. ‘Walmer Castle had a moat around it. Tradition says that the duke had no Faded Hair. Dear Miss Leeds—I am 65 years old and my hair which was black is now half white, WIll the sage-tea rinse for gray hair restore my hair color? Please answer and tell me how ridiculous you think I am. CONSTANT READER. Answer—TIt isn't ridiculous to want to look as youthful as one can, but I do not think that having all black hair would help you in this respect. When all your hair was black your skin also was firmer and rosler. Skin tints change as the hair naturally fades so that there is & harmony’ between com- plexion and hair at each period of life. Your graying hair is really more becom- ing than jet black would be. The sage- tea rinse is nct a dye and cannot re- store the black color. If you really want black hair, however, you should gotoa lpechll!;:lll h.thi\ dyeing; do not try to tint your hair at home. o L LOIS LEEDS. Quick Growth Wanted. Dear Miss Leeds—I just had my hair cut into a_wind-blown bob and it looks terrible. Is there any way of making it grow in again quickly? MISS 8. G. Answer—I am sorry, but there is no quick way to grow hair. The usual rate of growth is about 6 incies a year. The hair grows faster in warm weather than in cold. All you can do is to wait for it to grow and in the meantime give your scalp a stimulating massage every day. Of course, you may buy pieces of extra hair to pin on, or have the hair WHO REMEMBERS?

SQUIBB Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. September 9, 1813.—A day of public humiliation and prayer for the success of the American Army and Navy in the war with Great Britain, set aside by act of Congress, was observed by in the Government, the Army, Navy and M: rine Corps, and of the Grand and su. bordinate lodges of Masons of the Dis- trict of Columbia took part, is described in the National Intelligencer today. While special services were being held in all the churches, the Masons gathered at 12 o'clock in the Union Lodge rooms, on Eleventh street a short distanc south of Pennsylvania avenue. Here a procession was formed, which passed 1‘!101“‘ Pennsylvania avenue to the Cap- ol. At the Capitol an oration was de- livered by Jo ‘Wiley, in commemora- tion of the heroism of Capt. James Lawrence and his lieutenant, Augustus C. Ludlow, naval officers, who lost their lives in the fight of the Chesapeake. Both of these -officers were members of the Masonic order. The dying words of Lawrence, “Don’t give up the ship,” had thrilled the whole country, even though the Chesapeake had gone down to defeat in the famous naval battle. ‘The lodges of the District represented at this Masonic gathering were Federal, Columbia, Naval, Union and Lebanon, all in the City of Washington; Potom: n Georgetown, and the Alexandria-Wash- ington and Alexandria-Brooke Lodges of Alexandria. The Grand Lodge of the District had been established only two years before. One effect of the war in Washington at this time is an expansion of local business. Plans are being formulated for the organization of new banks and new daily newspapers. It is at Washington that the expendi- ture of large sums of money for war purposes is decided upon, and many visitors are brought to the city on that account. ‘There has been much criticism of the fact that the Capitol Building has been allowed to remain for such a long period unfinished. A movement to have Congress appropriate money to complete it when it convenes next December has already been started. DAILY DIET RECIPE BROCCOLI AU GRATIN.

FPEATURES] OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Stubborn Child. ‘What makes a child stubborn? Fear, for one thing. If a child has been forced against his will, if he has been beaten, slapped, pushed and shoved without regard to his feelings, he is likely to put his back to the wall and take his deflant stand. He cannot fight back, but he can hold himself to him- | self, and that he will strive to do. | Example is another reason. If the | family is sullen or stubborn he fol- lows in their footsteps. He will take refuge in sulks, in silence and stubborn- | ness. To cure that, one sets an example | of cheerful co-operation, and says | nothing to the child. { In dealing with a stubborn child the less said the better. The circumstances have set the stage for a stubborn fit. The only thing. that will change the mood is the change of circumstance. If you ordered him in loud tones to go | and.he didn't go, all you can do is to | say in your stillest voice, “Very well. | you needn't go,” and go on as though you had forgotten him. In your going along, however, change the atmosphere. It has been strained to the breaking point. You will find your body is tense and your thought hard and grudging. Let go. Fill your mind with a thouglit of love, of cour- age, of kindness. Repeat some fine thought that you have memorized, and, as soon as you can. sing. If that is beyond you, turn on the radio or the phonograph and let the music lift the tension. ‘When you have relaxed you will find that the child has done so, usually. Say nothing about the stubbornness. It is best never to tell a child that he is stubborn. Just say pleasantly, “Very well, you needn’t.”” ‘This will not succeed, however, if the child is held under bondage of fear. Search his environment for any cause of fear and remove it. Fear kills all power, It promotes none. It is a mis- take to make use of it save in very rare circumstances, such as danger to life and limb. Investigate the general health of the stubborn child. Sometimes he is deaf, has trouble with his breathing, his di- 1 gestion is out of order, his glands do not function properly. Do all that is possible to help the child to health and the stubbornness will vanish. Stubbornness is a danger signal. Somcthing has gone wrong. You will have to search for that something— first in the family circle, then in the child himself. Remove the cause. Avoid the occasion of stubbornness. A trait that is allowed to slumber in disuse will weaken itself and die. That Recipe furnishes protein, a lit- tle starch and fat as well as much fiber. Much lime, iron and vitamins A and B present.
