CRISP, COOL SUMMER SALADS (See Recipes Below.) AT HOME TO SUMMER In a recent poll, 37 per cent of the thousands of homcmakers receiving questionnaires expressed a desire to be experts at salad making ... 43 per cent wanted to know how to make food look glamorous. This report gave me an idea. Salads, besides being healthful and givers of vim, vigor and vital itv, offer a splen did opportunity for variety . . . they can be used as the appetizer or '"starter" course, the main dish, a dessert. or they may accompany the dinner course. So, besides giving you timely tips on the art of salad making, I'm go ing to explain literally dozens of ways in which you creators of daily menus can give "oomph" to your tasty disiies. ? ? ? The characteristics of a good salad are simple and fairly easy to accom plish; namely, it should be well chilled before serving; have an at tractive arrangement, and a pleas ing color combination. Salads in summer are as impor tant as swimming or tennis or golf. They give an opportunity to add color and gaiety to the table. Your choice of ingredients will de pend upon what you have planned for your main course and dessert, provided your salad is to be a side dish or an appetizer. There are many varieties of fruit salads. They are excellent by them selves or as an accompaniment to a main course of sea food or meat and a pastry or cake dessert. Good to eat, wonderful to look at and substantial is this salad of or ange slices and prunes, stuffed with cottage cheese. (See picture at top of column.) 'Orange Prune Cheese Salad. On a bed of lettuce circle 10 to 12 orange slices. At the side ar range 3 cooked prunes which have been stuffed with cottage cheese. With a sharp knife peel oranges, re moving all outer skin and inner membrane down to juicy meat. Cut in thin, even slices. California or anges, which are firm-meated and practically seedless, are excellent to use. Serve with a sweet french dress ing, made with lemon juice. With a hot bread and beverage, this salad makes a well-balanced home or party luncheon. LYNN SATS: Don't be timid about putting your own personality into your salads.

MESS' Following the outbreak of the Nazi-Russkm war, European capi tals buzzed with reports of a Ger man oiler to Britain to make peace, then turn their united forces against Soviet Russia. These reports were not empty rumors; they were abso lutely true. Behind them is a story of the most audacious and astounding Nazi in trigue of the war to date. Its open ing sccne was the sensational Hess "flight" to Britain; its closing para graph the "surprise" Nazi declara tion of war on their ally. Red Russia. The inner details of this brain reeling plot are not yet unraveled and all of them won't leak out until the history books are written. But authorities have pieced it together and it is now possible to get the main outlines. Hatred of Communists. Following the victorious Balkan campaign which made Germany master of Europe, powerful military Nazi elements, always hating the Communists, began urging peace with Britain in exchange for a Brit ish-German coalition against Rus sia. After a bitter struggle inside the Nazi party, Hitler sided with the anti-Red group and the wheels were set in motion to line up the British. It was realized that they would have to be approachcd in such i> manner that they could not doubt the authenticity of the Nazi plan. So Hess was chosen for this mission. Not only was he the one man in Germany closest to Hitler, but he was also known for his hatred of Communism. And before the war he had had contacts with the British nobility. So Hess, not flying alone, but ac companied by several guiding planes; and not taking off from cen tral Germany as reported, but from Norway, made his dramatic descent on the estate of the Scotch duke of Hamilton. Hess' Message. The message brought by Hess in substance was as follows: (1) Britain and Germany would enter a coalition as the chief part ners in a new Axis; (2) Italy would be placated with some minor pos sessions of France, which would be stripped of its empire; (3) Germany would retain a free hand on the whole cf the continent, with Britain helping to establish that free hand by joining Germany in conquering Russia. The British government's answer was to incarcerate Hess and imme diately notify Washington and Mos cow of the plan. The subsequent chain of events is history. Darlan and Laval were among the first to get wind of the scheme, and rushed to Hitler of fering complete "collaboration." This drew withering denunciations from President Roosevelt and Sec retary of State Hull. Britain, which for months had been trying to make up its mind to attack in Syria, launched an of fensive with Free French forces to seize this strategically vital region. Then on June 15, British intelligence got wind of quiet German withdraw als of air and other forces from French bases. This was why the British took the initiative in their continuous day and night bombing raids wreaking havoc on Vev Ger man centers. Russia Fearful. Fearful of attack and anxious to appease in all directions, Moscow abandoned its stiff-necked coolness to Japan and hurriedly signed a pact in order to ensure at least tem porary tranquillity cn its eastern border. Simultaneously Stalin aban doned his traditional behind-the scenes role and actively assumed the reins as premier of Russia. Russia began massing 160 divisions on its western borders. It was at this time that Ambassa dor John Winant returned to the U. S. A. at the request of Prime Minister Churchill in order to give President Roosevelt a complete fill in and to deliver categoric assur ances from Churchill that Britain will never make peace with Hitler. Note ? The British government was so sure Hitler would attack Russia that Churchill was able to prepare and deliver his history radio address only 18 hours after Hitler invaded Russia. * ? * CAPITAL CHAFF Sentiment is increasing in several states for a "Federal Union of Na tions."
