That one thing is that there should be no more such trips for the duration of the war. About all they brought back was a maze of conflicting opinions, none of which is designed to further prose cution of the war. Their opinion ated 'reports'' have done nothing save arouse suspicion between various components of the United Nations that will certainly do nothing to shorten the war, and that, after all. should be the one aim of all \xi* ene mies at this time.

We may as well get set for a gene ral sales tax levy of some 10 per cent, however. It has been coming ever since the war started; and, just as in the case of the Slate sales tax, when it is once levied, it will be here to stay, i'he most powerful lobbies in the United States have been lined up behind this tax for several years. Congressmen have been browbeaten into line to support it; and the only reason it hasn't already been enact ed is bemuse our present breed of 'statesmen" lack the moral courage to take a definite stand on anything. A sales tax is indefensible for anvone of a half dozen reason?. And plenty of alternative methods of se curing the money have been proposed. However, a single glance at the men comprising our present Congress, and at the forces backing a general sales levy, should be sufficient for anyone of average intelligence to reconcile himself to the inevitable. We will soon have a national sales tax, and we will never get rid of it. The American Way of Life By Ruth Taylor What is the American way of life?

Our pub lic speakers—particularly at cam paign time act as though it were an "abracadabra" or magic word that could unlink hidden troves of treas ure. ()t course you know the full mean ing of the phrase but have you ever tried to explain the American way of life to someone who did not know America, who was not steeped in the tradition; of democracy I have . . . and let me assure you it is no easy task. But it does make you stop and think what you really mean by the American way of life. Here is what I found I meant by the phrase. The American way of life is the way of opportunity for all. It does not mean an equal distribution of all good things, but an equal chance to work for a living at a fair wage. It means free enterprise free to de velop. but not unbridled license to exploit either man or natural re sources. It means an equal oppor tunity' to learn, not only an equal ability to get ahead without work. l he American way of lite is the way of self-restrained freedom. Un der it we may freely express our own opinion- -but we abide by the decision of the majority. The American way of life implies a decent respect for the beliefs of others, whether or not we agree with them. Under it free dom is permitted up to the point where it impinges upon the right of others. The American way of life is the way of progress through the utiliza tion of every resourse—not merely the natural ones of the earth, but of , that greatest resource of our nation— the intelligence, the initiative, the productive power latent in every in dividual, regardless of class, creed or color. The American way of life is the way of the rainbow’s end, to the fulfilment of the dream of brother hood.

In cakes and cookies honey may replace molasses cup for cup. Omit molasses, use honey instead, and omit soda, use a teaspoon more of baking powder for each quarter teaspoon of soda omitted. Honey can replace sugar entirely or in part in baked foods. Remem ber honey contains water, so less li quid is needed in a recipe. Replace sugar with honey, cup for cup. and reduce liquid in half, or replace one half the sugar with honey and re duce the liquid one quarter. In bak ing bake at low temperature because honey burns easily, second, don’t boil honey mixtures longer than neces sary. When it is heated too much the aromatic oils evaporate and the delicate flavor is lost. And. remem ber honey not only contains water, but takes moisture from the air. That is why cakes baked with honey stay moist a long time. Recipe for honey nut bread: '2 cup coarsely chopped nuts. 2 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, Vi teaspoon salt, 1 egg beaten. >2 cup honey. '2 cup milk. 2 teaspoons melt ed fat. Add nuts to sifted dry ingre dients. Combine the beaten egg, honey, milk and melted fat and add to the first mixture. Stir until in gredients are just moistened. Bake in greased bread pan in moderate over 350 degrees farenheit for 45 to 50 minutes. Gardens The rlub women are doing their best to have a fall garden. Nume rous seeds have been planted.
