That is the only question to worry Stalin, because he does not want to face a trium- phant democracy with stolen goods in his hands. PRESIDENTIAL DEATHS Six presidents of the United States have died in office, three from natural causes and three by assassination. Only wo of the six died in the White House— William Henry Harrison az-1 Zachary Tay- to meet death while president. Abraham Lincoln died in a_ private home in Washington, whence he was car- riel after being shot at Ford’s theater by John Wilkes Booth, while witnessing the play “Our American Cousin.” Booth was shot to death by the leader of a _ posse, Sergeant Boston Corbett. James Ai. Garfield was shot at the Baltimore & Potomac railroad depot in Washington by Charles J. Guitteau, and died about 11 weeks later at Elberon, N. J., where he had been taken to escape the | heat of the capital. Guitteau was hanged. William McKinley was shot by Leon Czolgosz, while attending an exposition in Buffalo, and died at the home of a friend in that city eight days later. Czolgosg was electrocuted. cas Warren G.

The Literary Guidepost By JOHN SELBY, AP Book Reviewer “A TREASURY OF AMERICAN SONG” by Olin Downes and Elie Siegmeister—(Howell, Soskin: $5) It is difficult enough to write a book that will please a reason- able numb of people. When the volume is a book of song: and all the likes and dislikes o! semi-musical ve e are added to the orig 1 on ) ty close to impossible. Yet some- how Olin Downes and Elie Sieg- meister have managed it in their “A Treasury of American Song”. Because it is of great importance to people who want the book for use and not as a piece of furni- ture, this is the place to say that it can be opened on the music rack of a piano, will lie flat there- on,-and not buckle in the middle. Mr. Downes makes two good points on the first page of his in- troduction. One is that America, contrary to superficial opinion, has a wealth of songs of her own. The other is that the folk music cf no land is pure—that is to say folk tunes are the product of a people with time to sing and play, but they grow best by cross fer- tilization. The best illustrations ,are the tunes imported to Amer- ica from England long ago and left to flower in the Appalachians, and the folk musie. of Hungary which is a sort of compromise between gypsy and peasant, now more of the one, now more of the Tother. + So Messrs. Downes and Sieg- meister have got together about 200 songs out of America’s past, ing in their chonological se- quence only yesterday. There are vs from the ear Colonial veiiod, the Indian wars, the slave days There are river songs and mcwutain ballads, songs of re- ligious fervor and songs from the bawdy hcuses—these last exptur- gated somewhat. There are war songs and work songs and march- ing songs and popular ditties There also are blues, quite a num- ber of these and pieces like “Hal- lelujah, 'm a Bum” (with a curi- ous typographical error in the title as it apears over the song). There can be no question of the helpfulness of Mr. Downes’ com- ment. And Mr. Siegmeister has arranged the musical setting skillfully in nearly every case— he re-did everything, it might be added, which is a huge job. The last question is whether or not the two gentlemen have made the best choices possible, and to this reader the answer seems to be no. There is a huge lot of usable, important music. But for him there are too many dull tunes, included because textually they have importance. Song books are to be sung out of. WHO KNOWS? See “The Answers” on Page 4 1.

H (By The PRACTICE IN BAKING MAKES PERFECT THANKSGIVING MEAL MINCE PIES By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE Mince pies and plum plud- dings! Reappearance of this pair def- initely heralds the holidays. You'd better get some practice in making up these winter stand- bys so you can turn them out at top speed when Thanksgiving arrives. Here are recipes that click. Some are brand new; others are faintly doctored to meei chang- ing umes, varying pocketbooks and whimsical moods. MINCE MEAT AND CRAN- BERRIES, mixed together, make a pie with a tantalizing flavor. Mix 2 cups of prepared mince meat with 4% cup raisins and pour into an unbaked pie crust. Cover with a cup of cranberries, i HOW TO MAKE A JELLIED MINCE PIE cups apples, chopped very fine cup seédéd raisins, chopped fine 12 cup currants 4 cup chopped citron cup chopped candied peel 2 cup sugar teaspoon ground cinnamon 1-3 teaspoon allspice 1-3 teaspoon.ground cloves lg teaspoon salt 244 cups water 1 envelope gelatine 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 baked pastry skell Mix apples, raisins, currants, citron, orange peel, sugar, spices and salt with two cups of the wa- ter. Simmer until apples are very tender. Soften gelatine in remain- ing \%4 water and dissolve in hot fruit mixture. Add lemon juice and cool. When mixture just begins to thicken slightly, pour into baked pie shell and chill. Serve with hot orange sauce. hard sauce or whipped cream, as orange plain unflavored desired. Center of pie may be garnished with turkey cut out of pastry Use a currant for the eye. Brush lightly with melted butter and bake in a hot oven until lightly browned. Strips of baked pastry may be used instead of the tur- k a mixed thoroughly with 2-3 cup granulated sugar, a tablespoon flour, 12 teaspoon grated orange rind and % teaspoon salt. Pour 14 cup orange or spiced peach juice over the filling and cover with a top crust. Bake 15 min- utes in a moderately hot oven, then lower the heat and bake 35 more minutes. Mince meat is improved when moistened with leftover fruit juices, orange juice. cider or spiced fruit liquid. Or brandy for those who want it. About a fourth cup of liquid ver pie is amples. Always serve MINCE PIE hot To reheat it, carefully cover with a pie pan and leave-it for 10 min- utes in a moderate oven. You can sprinkle grated cheese over the top crust before it is heated. The cheese will melt and form a crusty, brown topper with a de- licious flavor. Mince pies made up a day or so ahead should be stored in a cool place. For those waist-watchers who love rich foods but cannot often indulge, this FRUIT PIE is grand and not so heavy as mince pie. Mix a cup of sugar with % cup flour, 1-3 teaspoon salt and 1-3 cup each of apricot, orange, prune and lemon juices. Cook slowly until thick. Stir constant- ly. Add %4 cup each chopped cooked prunes, apricots and figs. Add 1-3 cup broken nuts, % cup raisins and pour into a crust-lin- ed pie pan. Cover with strips of pastry, criss-cross fashion.
