HINTS FOR GAS SAVINGS
SLOGANS
Harold Ickes has labored and
come forth with a sticker, “I Am
Using One Third Less Gas” as a
terrific weapon in the drive to save
fuel. Well, to this department it
seems feeble, trite and ineffective,
especially when dealing with human
beings who have shaken off their
real skin and donned the tough hide
of automobilists. Nobody reads the
stickers on a windshield, not even
the fellow who pastes them on.
If they are to be used, however,
why not put a kick in ’em. Some
thing along this line;
“I Am Not a Hog, Even When in
an Auto.”
“I Wouldn’t Cripple Uncle Sam
Just for a Few Extra Miles of Tour
ing.”
“I Put Patriotism Above Petro
leum.”
“America First. Picnicking Sec
ond.”
“I’m Stepping on Hitler, Not on
the Accelerator.”
“I’d Rather Lay Up My Car Than
Lay Up My Future.”
Of course in this crisis there is
bound to be the fellow who takes
the attitude, “I only regret I have
but one limousine to give for my
country.”

THE ‘MINUTE MAN’
I wonder how many people know
that the statue of the “Minute Man”
which is used on our defense bonds
posters, was done by the sculptor,
Mr. Daniel Chester French, who did
the great marble Lincoln statue in
the Lincoln Memorial in Washing
ton, D. C. Perhaps it would interest
you to know a little about the mak
ing of this statue, since the story is
told to me by the sculptor’s daugh
ter, Mrs. William Penn Cresson:
“The young sculptor borrowed
from the art museum a large plas
ter cast of the ‘Apollo Belvedere,’
which he set up on one side of his
studio, and on the other side he
placed a long full-length mirror, in
which he surveyed his own not un
attractive form. And there he made
his ‘Minute Man.’ ”
The dedication of the statue on the
nineteenth of April, 1875, was a very
great occasion in the little town of
Concord, Mass. It was one of those
bitterly cold days that we have so
often in the New England spring.
More people were said to have died
from the effects of that cold, than
had died on the day of the battle
they were celebrating.
President Grant and all his cabi
net came from Washington for the
unveiling. Longfellow and Lowell
marched in the procession. George
William Curtis was the orator of the
day, and orated for more than two
hours in the cold. Emerson read
his poem written for the occasion,
the lines of which were cut on the
pedestal of the statue.

WOMEN IN DEFENSE
I am shocked to find through some
of the clippings which have come
to me, that my answer to a press
conference question last week, as to
whether I was satisfied with the vol
unteer participation in civilian de
fense, seems to have caused a com
plete misunderstanding of my atti
tude. I answered truthfully, that I
was not satisfied with the civilian
defense participation. But that was
no criticism, as it was apparently
taken to be, of Mayor LaGuardia,
because I am sure he is not satis
fied either!
How could any of us be content
when the organization is just be
ginning and will never be complete
until every man, womin and child
in every community throughout the
nation, feels that in one way or an
other, they are contributing to na
tional defense?
Secondly, I find that certain
groups of women think that I do
not believe in the participation of
women in national defense. I can
hardly understand how this miscon
ception took place, because I have
wanted women to take their place
in national defense long before the
government machinery was set up.
I felt strongly that, while it was
well to take up any training avail
able, it was better not to set up
programs which could not later be
easily incorporated with whatever
arrangements were made through
government channels. I believe that
there is work to be done by every
man, woman and child in the coun
try. Some of us can take training
which will make us useful in ways
that are closely related to military
work. Others, many more proba
bly, can devote themselves to im
proving the life in their own com
munities.
This is a very important part of
national defense, for it is this life
in our own communities which
makes national defense worth while.
If it is a good life and meets our
needs, and we know our neighbors
are co-operating to achieve better
conditions, then any sacrifices we
make to preserve what we have
and to attain what we hope for, are
cheerfully made, and are part of the
duty which we recognize as citizens
in a free democracy.

‘THE FORGOTTEN VILLAGE’
Last night we saw a very beauti
ful movie, a documentary film, “The
Forgotten Village,” written by John
Steinbeck, with music by Hans
Eisler. It is the story of a boy in
a small village in Mexico and shows
the life of the village, the supersti
tions which still exist, and the bad
sanitation. It portrays the gather
ing of the family round the fire in
the evening, the birth of a new baby,
the selling of the corn which is the
basis of life, a festival and a death
in the family.
Finally, the young Mexican leaves
his village, because the local school
master has brought knowledge and
inspiration to such of the youth of
the community who are open to new
ideas. The boy will return trained
to lead his people to a better life.
I was tremendously interested in
the medical trucks which go over
almost impassable roads to serve
the people of these remote villages.

A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
I want to mention a housing de
velopment for colored people in
Pensacola, Fla., which pleased me
very much. ,
I was not able to go out and look
at it very carefully, but it seemed to
be well planned, and considerable,
l attractive landscaping had been
i done. One of the ministers had writ
ten to me about it, and told me that
the people living there were making
every effort to provide opportuni
ties for civic education and recrea
tion.

LET’S MAKE A DATE FOR LUNCH
(See Recipes Below)
FALL LUNCHEON
As the leaves begin to crackle and
fall’s favorite flower, the chrysan
themum, stirs in the sweet smelling
earth, and fruit hangs heavy and
ripe on the trees—do your thoughts
turn to luncheons and bridge?
If they do, prepare to have one
now, using as your theme the leaves,
fruits or flowers
CSH that fall has to of
n' Si fer as a welcome
change from
summer lunch
eons you may
J|i» have had. If you
are having a pre
luncheon bridge,
try carrying out
the fall theme on the bridge tables
with small vases of fall flowers, in
candies, and decorations. Favors
can be had using the autumn theme
and prizes may be wrapped in the
burnished fall shades or tied with
ribbons of that color.
Whatever you do, have your tables
and especially the centerpiece stun
ning enough to stimulate interest
and conversation. It’ll make lunch
eon and bridge afterwards a real
success, and star you as a smart
hostess.
Play up the oranges and yellow
in food for luncheon, picking it up
here and there in this dish and that
with a touch of green to heighten in
terest. Do something unusual in the
main dish by having a frozen or
cooked fish fillet lightly creamed and
well garnished. Simple to fix, a
dream to behold, yet delicate to
taste, here’s your main dish:
♦Creamed Fillet of Flounder With
Mushrooms.
2 packages quick frozen fillet of
flounder, cooked or
2V2 cups cooked fish
2V2 cups fish liquor or light cream
2V2 cups sliced mushrooms
6 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
Watercress
If using frozen flounder, cook in
a saucepan, adding 1 cup boiling wa
ter and Vi teaspoon salt, and cook
until tender. If using cooked fish,
be sure it is well drained. Flake
fish. Cook mushrooms in butter, un
til well browned, add flour. Add
fish liquor and cream, gradually
stirring constantly and cook until
thick. Add fish and seasoning. Serve
on hot buttered toast or in patty
shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Gar
nish with watercress.
When serving the vegetables, pret
ty the platter by serving both the
green beans, cut in long, lengthwise
strips, and the carrots cut length
wise, side by side. Or have a mound
of carrots or beans in the center,
and then have alternating mounds
of green bean and carrot strips com
ing out toward the rim of the plate.
If you were to take a poll among
your luncheon guests, you would
probably be surprised how many
LYNN SAYS:
Sit up and take notice of fall’s
possibilities for table decoration.
Cornucopias and centerpieces of
fruits and vegetables interlaced
with burnished leaves and bright
ly colored flowers certainly have
away with them and will do
very nicely for your luncheon ta
ble.
Take a tip from the outdoors
and make the most of the hum
ble squash, apple, pear, or a
spray of bittersweet. Let your
fruit glisten and shine by rubbing
with oil and then polishing to a
high luster. For more permanent
effects, have the fruit laquered.
Arrange pears, apples and grapes
on doilies of autumn leaves and
set on a mirror for the center
piece, or have the fruit arranged
from the opening of a squash.
Dusky red or bright chrysanthe
mums look effective if arranged
in a small squash. Any of these
will give your table a smart note
and also a piece of grand con
versation for lunchew guests.
Speaking of nice touches, put
a leaf of deep rich red, brown, or
yellow, or a bit of bittersweet to
the side of a placecard. This
will be just fine to carry out the
autumn theme of the centerpiece.

of Chicago.

OVERCOMING THE ADVERSARY
LESSON TEXT—Revelation 12:7-12; 15:2-4.
GOLDEN TEXT—And they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not their
lives unto the death. —Revelation 12:11.
War! What a familiar word!
Men are saying we should put an
end to war. We wish it were pos
sible, but as long as sin rules in
the hearts of men, there will be
wars; in fact, our lesson tells us of
a greater war which is to take place
in the heavens. The devil is busy
not only on earth, but in the heaven
ly places, and wherever he is there
is war. Only when Christ, the
Prince of Peace, comes to reign will
peace come to all the earth.
Our lesson presents three scenes:
Conflict in heaven, rejoicing over
victory there, and a victory on earth
which brought joy in heaven.
I. War in Heaven (12:7-9).
A clear, succinct, and helpful
word on these verses is quoted from
Dr. John R. Bradbury:
“The dispensational interpretation
of this passage is that during the
period of tribulation, which follows
the rapture of the saints, as
described in I Thessalonians 4:15-
18; I Corinthians 15:51, 52, and other
passages, there will be a war in
heaven between Michael and his an
gels and the devil and his. Satan is
not in hell now. It is wrong to teach
that he is there. He is the prince of
the power of the air. He rules the
darkness of this world. He inspires
wickedness in his domain and on
earth. Against these conditions the
Christian is solemnly warned to pre
pare (Eph. 6:10-18). When we say
that Satan is in heaven, we do not
mean the heaven of the immediate
presence of God. The Bible speaks of
different heavens and there is even
a ‘heaven of heavens’ (I Kings 8:27).
“From whence come all the cross
currents of wickedness now sweep
ing over the world —many of them
contrary to the wishes of the vast
majority of the people? That there
is a malevolent genius directing sin
ister operations to hinder and baffle
God and to destroy mankind is easy
to understand. Many people ask,
‘Why does not God destroy him?’
The answer to that is in this lesson.
His hour is coming. He will be ex
pelled from his domain by Michael
and his angels. Then, because the
people of this world have co-operat
ed with Satan so willingly, he will
be allowed to take refuge in the
earth. He will come down (v. 12) in
great wrath, ‘because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time.’ ’’
11. Rejoicing in Heaven (12:10-
12).
If we accept what seems to be the
correct view; namely, that the wom
an of Revelation 12:1-5 is Israel, the
nation in which the child (v. 5), who
is Christ, was born, then it would
appear that those who here rejoice
in the victory over the dragon
(Satan) would be the Jewish believ
ers who will have come through
great tribulation. At the same time
it is quite appropriate to apply the
truth of the passage to us who now
find ourselves in conflict with Satan
ic powers.
The accuser does not hesitate to
appear even in the presence of God
to bring charges against us (see Job
1:6-12). But we need not fear him,
for he is already judged (I John
16:11) and will (as we see in our
lesson) one day be cast down to
earth, and (as other Scripture re
veals) will ultimately be cast into
the lake of fire (Rev. 20:10).
But he is here now, a supernatural
(but not divine) being, plaguing us,
tempting us, accusing us. What
shall we do about it? As to his
accusation, we know we have a just
and loving God and also have an
Advocate to plead our causes before
Him (I John 2:2). F’or his present
attacks, our lesson gives the secret
of spiritual victory in verse 11.
111. Victory on Earth (Rev. 15:
2-4).
The scene of victorious rejoicing
which we see here is evidently in
heaven, but it is because of victory
on earth. Here are those that have
come through the horrible conditions
described in Revelation 13, and have
been victorious over the beast, in
spite of his great powers.
They sing; that is the token of
real victory, of a heart victory.
Whatever loss they may have suf
fered, and whatever trials they may
have gone through, they have “got
ten the victory” (v. 2). They sing
the song of Moses and the Lamb (cf.
Exod. 15:1-21 and Rev. 5:9-14).
It is right that the redeemed of
the Lord should sing, glorifying the
name of God (v. 4) and magnifying
His great and marvelous works
(v. 3). Let us remind ourselves
again that if we are Christians, we
are on the victorious side. The
glimpse into the heavens which we
find in our lesson should give us the
right perspective with which to view
the troublesome experiences of life.
God has a plan, and He will bring
it to complete and victorious
fruition in His own time and His
own way.
Why Invent Words? j
1
Some writers go to the troubh
of inventing words, which few out
side their own circle can under
stand. The English language is
extremely rich in words, and no<
impoverished. In the unabridged
edition of the English dictionary
there are some 500,000 words, fa.
more than any man can hope tc
use. Shakespeare had a vocabu
lary of only 15,000 words, com
pared with 60,000 used by the edu
cated adult today. Milton used
17,000 different words, and the
Bible contains only 7,200 different
words.
The best way to find out what to
send soldiers in camp is to ask
the soldiers themselves. Surveys
among the men with the colors
show cigarettes and smoking to
bacco head the list. Actual sales
records from service stores in the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard show the largest
selling cigarette is Camel. Prince
Albert Smoking Tobacco is well
known as the “National Joy
Smoke.” A carton of Camels or a
pound tin of Prince Albert is al
ways welcome, doubly welcome
around the end of the month. Local
tobacco dealers are featuring
these brands as ideal gifts for men
in the service.—Adv.
