HISTORY BEGINS AT FORTY College President and Playwright Discuss Odd Facts About Making Famous Characters Be Their Age r|''BE outstanding American hits his first high in achievement at 1 forty. So says Dr. Dixon Ryan Fox, President of Union College, and historian. "Now l don’t mean that men are at the zenith of their powers at 40, by any manner of means,” he said, "quite the contrary. But it does appear that critical turns in American history were influ enced by men whose 'average’ age is forty. "For example, lei s taae a rew<i of the men whose lives have been dramatized recently on the air: Mark Twain was 40 when he wrote Tom Sawyer'. Robert Fulton 38 when he launched his steamboat, I'eter Cooper 39 when he bailt the •Tom Thumb', one of the first sie: m-engines, Victor Herbert 44 when he wrote ‘Babes in Toyland', liar tut in 40 when he brought Jenny Lind to America, Sousa 38 when he organized his band, Horace Mann 4 4 when he was most active j bettering education in the United States, Elizabeth Blackwell 36 when she founded the first all woman staffed hospital, Lincoln 3 9 v. hen he was elected to Congress. Benjamin Franklin 4 2 when he nave up writing to devote his life to scientific research. "And what manner of men are they?

"Right now, though, we find i difPoult to achieve variety ft., one program to the next when w< are constantly creating major scenes played by men of approx? matelv the same age. It means a radical change in casting eac week and a strenuous effort to match the voice and personality of the actor to the part he must play "I’ll tell you another strain, thing—over the air a man of twen ty-seven often sounds much more like a man of forty than the man of forty himself. It all depends on the timbre of his voice.’’ TROUSSEAU LUGGAGE Luggage—Oshkosh Trunk*. In*. Ready for the honeymoon with new luggage of lightweight duck with leather bindings. Both hat and shoe case and large suitcase have removable trays. Overnight case of woven striped duck. BRAND new trousseau and an exciting honeymoon all scheduled mean one more "must” for the bride—namely, brand new lug gage. And what fun to choose sleek and smart new pieces to take the place of the battered relics of school days, pieces to be proud of now and to use for many years to come. ‘•'•nee the average wedding trip is for two or three weeks at most. hand luggage will fill the bill. If' care.ully selected, it will be easier to am, mm .1 easier to Lanme cn route. the p»w band luggage will accommodate an ama...iig oi ( .o‘ i.ug wiin a minimum of wri- ... or other ui rasters. A wise nucleus i ’ a luggage wardrobe Is a large waidrobe case with hangers or a large suitcase with tray. Tlr's will take eight or more dresses or suits, with a good bit of space for shoes, hats, and underwear in the body of the case. Another necessity is an overnight case. Unless you have a number of pieces of luggage, don’t buy the smaller size case. A 22 inch or 2 4 inch case will be far better. These sizes will take not only ac tual overnight necessities, but a change of underwear, an extra dress and pair of shoes. If you go on your trip by motor, stopping at a hotel at night, you need take only this case up to the room, leav ing your other large case undis turbed until your destination is reached. For a slightly larger budget, the logical addition to these pieces would be a hat and shoe trunk. This will take six pairs of shoes and several hats, and has a tray and roomy pocket that are ideal »-— for all sorts of extras—sweaters, bathing suits, etc. All sorts of materials are beiug shown for luggage this year, but the fabric cases come in such at tractive colors and are so li' ht in weight, that they continue as fa vorites with the majority of wo men. If they have been treated :n m-ke them waterproof (and all good cases are) these cases will give years of good service and are naturally quite a bit less expensive than leather. But whatever you buy, take care in your selection. In the past few years, large quantities ui shoddy and inferior luggage have flooded the market, and many a bargain has turned out to be far from that when handles fell off, locks refused to stay shut and corners mashed in. Good luggage is an investment and should be bought as you would buy your silver or linens—either from a dealer whom you know and trust, or made by a manufacturer whose name you know and whose integrity has been established by years of honest business. It’s sturdy materials and good con struction that you are buying, for in luggage, as in many other things, beauty is more than skin deep. [Barbecues for the Modern Dinner Table | Pungent Sauce Give* Flavor and Zest ITIHIB barbecue, American as baked IJL beans—old time favorite of the :£outh and Wegt—is now enjoying a renewed interest Just say the word barbecue and the memory harkens back to tradi tional outdoor gatherings and the aroma of wood smoke, spiced and roasted meat, scenting the air for miles around. Today we have a kitchenette version of the barbecue ifor the modern dinner table. Now, in the season of spring broilers, there is a popular substi tute for the steer of the ranchers and the shoats of the southerners I used on these gala occasions. In the old days a great pit was dug and I juicy hunks of meet whetted ap petites. The barbecue fire was started the night before in the bot tom of the pit with hickory or ap ple wood, forming a bed of coals. Over the top stretched a grill or meshed wire and the well sea soned meat laid in place. At inter vals the cowman-cook swabbed the meat with a mixture of vinegar, melted suet, salt, pepper, onion, garlic and what not. Every barbe cue master had his own recipe for sauce and guarded that recipe as zealously as his silver trimmed saddle. But today the barbecue has come in from the great open spaces and invaded the kitchenette in a sim plified version which, nevertheless, has all the old-time flavor and zest. More delicate, perhaps, but the pungent sauce is still the thing that piques the palate. In championing chicken barbe cue Mrs. Helen C. Angell of Colum bus. Ohio, crowned queen of all around cooks at the 1937 National Women's Exposition of Art and In dustries. illustrates that a well mixed sauce adds the necessary flair to a kitchenette barbecue. Broadcasting her prize-winning menu on the "Heinz Magazine of the Air,” Mrs. Angell gave the follow tug sauce ingredients: Mix one cup of tomato ketchup with one-quarter cup each of beef ■ steak sauce, cider vinegar and sugar. Add half cup of Worcester shire sauce, one-half cup of water and a dash of pepper sauce, and mix all together. “To serve six people you’ll need three very young chickens, about one and one-half pounds each," said Mrs. Angell. “Cut them in halves or quarters and brown in half a pound of deep fat. Use two tablespoons of butter and the rest lard or vege table shortening. But don’t roll the chicken in flour. “Then put browned chicken in a roaster and pour sauce over the top.( Add a large chopped onion and three cloves of garlic. Tie onion and garlic in a square of cheese cloth so the garlic won't get away from you. Bake the chicker: in a covered roasting pan until tender, which takes about two hours. During the roasting baste the chicken with the barbecue sauce half a dozen times,” added Mrs. Angell. Here’s a play by play description of the prize winning dish of the year —barbecue chicken—concocted by Mrs. Helen C. Angell of Columbus, Ohio. The centerpiece is a nosegay of turnips and beets carved like roses and fringed with violet leaves. The chicken is set on oblongs of toast. Mounds of cooked squash have a small depression in the center filled with buttered peas. And flowerlets of cooked cauliflower have been sprinkled with grated cheese and paprika, browned under the grill, and garnished with slices of toasted almonds. Mrs. Angell, who won the 1937 all-around cooking championship at the National Women’s Exposition of Arts and Industries, is shown adding dips of barbecue sauce to her famous dish.
