THE GREEN SALAD
dello, • Homemakers! .Aren't you
that the green- salad has come
t,r Stay? You find it on most Cana-
}1;an ‘diitneh--tables, almcst every day
q the year -rand it'sindispensable a
Abe best source of vitamins.' In fact
T7 nometimes replaces cooked vege-
rtables.
Lettuce isn't the only foundation
for a salad. There's endive, with its
soft thistle -shaped leaves, tender spire
ach leaves, small dandelion leaves—
Curly chicory, celery or even' nastur-
tium leaves! (And watercress—fresh
from a stream). It isn't necessary to
use greens singly—combine several ---
for variety. Sharp, piquant dressing
makes the dish complete.
Incidentally, mayonnaise does not
belong with this type of salad, so if
you do not like the recipe for Special
Dressing, just use clear vinegar, spic-
ed vinegar, onion juice, carrot, or to-
mato juice.
The green salad may be dressed up
for any meal—pr it me,y remain ap-
pealing in its own thrifty dress. The
garnishes as well as the. greens must
be attractive, crisp, and cut in pieces
to suit. Suggested vegetable, garnish-
es are thin sliced 'radishes, shredded
raw beets, diced cucumbers, minced
onion, diced celery or tomatoes. To
add protein value include sliced hard -
hien' of 30, 40, 50

cooked eggs or chopped 1'eft-over'meat
or fish.
There are any interesting ways
to serve Green Salads, Arrange on
individual plates—if you 'like -or toss
together with dressing and place in a
bed of crisp greens. For the best
blend of flavor and seasonings, toss
all the salad ingredients lightly in a
large bowl, and' then tumble into a
chilled salad bowl. Arrange slices of
cold meat on a platter.
Market memo like to sell' in quantity,
and they often make it worth your
while to buy two heads of lettuce, two
bunches of celery sand two bunches
of radishes instead of one. Many re-
frigerators contain a drawer or cov-
ered pan for vegetables and fruit in
tike lower part of the cabinet. Greens
should•be kept in these pans in cov-
ered basins, oilsilk, -or cellophane
bags in the bottom of the cabinet. The
cold air travelling down through the
centre will have lost some of its cold-
ness, and is "ready to travel upward
to the freezing unit, where it will de-
posit any moisture that it has col-
lected.
Greens should be washed, prepared
for use, and then placed in tike pans
so that they will not be crushed by
heavier foods or become soggy with
water. The heart of head lettuce
should be removed—hold under cold
water tap --turn, and shake water out
gently—then place in the crisping pan
so that the open end is towards the
bottom. This will prevent the ends
of the leaves from becoming brown.
Keep your oils and, dressings .on
the top shelf, near the wall, furthest
from the freezing unit. See that each
container 'is covered, and leave a lit-
tle space around each one.

Because many people do not know
the difference between commercial
and military explosives, we fist `below
some of those most generally in use,
also their principal characteristics
and. uses.
Comn4ercial Explosives
DYNAMITE is essentially a com-
mercial or Peace -time explosive and
finds its greatest usefulness in blast-
ingrock formations in mines and 'road
constriction work. While it can be
detonated safely at a distance by ex•
perts using alength of safety fuse and
blasting cap or "an electric detonator,
it eannot be used in a gun barrel be-
cause its' velocity of detonation is too
great. It would blow the gun to bits
and kill the gun drew.
BLACK POWDER is the oldest e --
plosive. It has a low order of explo-
sion and has now, been largely super-
seded by dynamite. It has few uses
today as a propellant and, as a blast-
idtg agent is used only, where relative-
ly slow explosive effects are desired.
It is interesting to eecall that it was
Mack powder Which aided in the lay-
ing of our railways through the Rock-
ies slid that today it is ilsed in the
safety fuse which is inserted 'in the
detonator that causes the dynamite to
ekp'lode.

(Condensed from: Ste in Rerader's Digest)
After dinner Edgar Bergen said,
"Would you like to see Charlie's
room?"
"You mean he Inas a room all,'to
hinkself?"
"And bath," said Bergen, earnestly.
"Why not?"
Why not, indeed? Small enough
concession to a partner who is chief-
ly responsible for an annual income
five times that of the President ed the
United States.
Upstairs we looked at Charlie Me.
Cartay's full-sized double bed and
peered into his clothes closet, where
45 suits and uniforms of every des-
cription (cost: $75' each) hung on
padded hangers. His dresser draw-
ers are stacked with custom-made
shirts, neatly slit down the back for
Bergen's manipulative hand, and silk
shorts, monogrammed by devoted
Mee ,
I looked around for Charlie- "Over
here," said Bergen. A email' steam-
er trunk stood -on end. Bengen open-
ed the clasps with Toying care. s'
"What's going on out there?" Char,
he growled in a muffled - roice.
"A visitor to see you," said Bergen.,
"What, no privacy?" snapped Char-
lie. "Let him wait downstairs."
"Charlie lilies to take a nap after
dinner," Bergen apologized as he lift-
ed McCarthy out of the trunk and
removed the cellophane hood which
protects his complexion while travel-
ling to and from the broadcasting stu-
dio. Charlie is 38 inches high and,
with his , newly , at,ticulated' ' body,
which chard stand and walk, weighs 40
Pounds.
There are several Charlie McCar-
thies, Physically he consists of sev-
eral head,; and a half-dozen bodies,
while mentally he ranges froom juven-
ile precocity to lascivious senility.
The original head—the real McCarthy
—was carved by Theodore Mack, a
Chicago bartender, for. $35. Mack
was inspired, for this no blank -faced
dummy. The eyes are bold, impu-
dent, leering. The face is asymmetri-
cal, the right half bland, the left half
disolute. The oheeks have an apo-
plectic flush, The hair is coarse, red
and unruly. The close-up impact is
that of a pleasantly poisonous per-
sonality.
This original McCarthy has some
indefinable quality that cannot be re-
produced. Bergen has -tried vainly for
years' to duplicate it. Failing, he has
insured it for $5,000. When the orig-
inal Charlie travels, it is on a full
ticket, for the, insurance company in-
sists Bergen must share a drawing
room with him, so that a locked. door
, will protect McCarthy.
Bergen has several substitute heads
for such pedestrian purposes as pos-
ing for publicity pictures; smiling at
autograph hunters and acting as stand
in under movie ,lights that might
blanch or blister Charlie's complex-
ion. It was one of • these substitutes
that was kidnapped some years ,ago
in. New York. Practically everyonelin
the country was upset except Bergen,
.who knew that the real McCarthy was
resting '-safely in a bank vault .in
Hollywood." '
Probably the most famous of Char-
lie's feuds was with W. C. Fields, who
tried vainly to • shatter • Charlie's
•ap'lomb by gross allusions to the
woodenness sit the McCarthy face and
form. "A flophouse for termites,"
was one of Field's choicest epithets,
and he tried to finish Charlie off with,
"I'll cut you up into a Venetian
blind,"
"Oh, Mr. Fields—" coded. Charlie in-
to the microphone, "you make me
shudder."
Professional wits have fared no bet-
}
ter than comedians. When the, genial
and overstuffed Iryin S. Cobb appear-
ed on the'program McCarthy musemur-
ed to Bergen, "Doesn't the roam seem
small today?"
"Shush," shushed Bergen, and then
turning to Cobb, said, ''Irvin, I 'warn
you, you'll find Marine quite a match
for you."
"A match?" sneered Cobb. "Why,
I've' scratched better matches on the
seat of my pants,"
"That," observed Charlie, "is a
broad statement, Colonel."
Charlie its neither impressed by
.'ame nor humbled' by hauteur. When
introducing Lou Gehrig, the home -run
champion, Bergen explained that Lou
had played in 2,130 consecutive games,
a world's record. Scoffed 'McCarthy:
"The guy's a rut."
When Annabelle said to him, "Then
from your way of thinking I still
speak with an accent?" Charlie re-
plied, "Well, either that or I listen
with one."
'Presented to Emily Post, he called
her "a vulture for culture," wounds up
the program with, "Mrs. Post, you
fion't have a toothpick, do you?"
And when Beatrice Fairfax told
him, "Lucky is the man who wins the
'love of a woman who Is a good com-
panion and one who is a good cook,"
Charlie cackled, "Yeahe-but ain't that
bigamy?"
He is regularly rude to male movie
stars, but he adopts an Old World
courtliness in addressing comely ad -
tresses. To Virginia Bruce he purr-
ed: "Every day day you look' lovelier
and lovelier, and today you look like
tomorrow."
Charlie has his own opinion Of Ber-
gen's status: "Every time he opens
my mouth he puts my foot in it," and
"I am Bergen's piece de resistance;
translated from the French, that
means bread' and butter. On...their
NBC dressing room door hangs a
sign: "Charlie McCarthy and Stooge."
When Northwestern University con-
ferred an honorary degree of Master
of Innuendo and Snappy Comeback,
McCarthy received the accolade, n of
Bergen. Charlie is proud of the de-
eree, but changes the subject when
You read the citation, by Dean Dennis
of Northwesterri's School of Speech:
. a. . Prince of Parasites, violent
in company, churlish in behavior, ac-
id in conversation, wooden -faced • in
all relationships, and thus in many re-
spects a typical product of higher ed-
ucation in America." -
Charlie's personality so dominates
the studio that 'sometimes when Ber-
gen loses his place in the script dur-
ing a broadcast the. script holder
comes running to McCarthy. instead
of Bergen. '
Edgar Bergen (born Berggren, in
Chicago, 37 years ago) is `Charlie's
better self, courteous, kindly and self-
effacing. Also he is wistful=because
he hasn't the ease and popular ap-
peal that Cbarlie has. "I wish 1
could win people over as quickly as
Charlie does," says the radio enter-
tainer with the highest Crossley rat-
ing on record, a`People take • to him
at once and he's never at a loss for
somethimg. o say." Charlie, sitting
do Bergen's knee, grins evilly 'at this
but offers no helpful advice. Bergen
always wanted to be a comedian, but
no ode would laugh at his, jokes. On
the other hand, anything Charlie says'
is greeted with gales of mirth, with
the result` Charlie is insufferably
cocky.
Bergen came up the hard way,
through 15 year's of small-time vaudte-
erille, Chautauqua, cruise ships and
night clubs, Charlie went along for
the ride and copped 'all the notices.
Dr.(hase's Ointment
for Chafing. Skin Irritationsand
Baby Eczema
Only recently, when Charlie went to
New York for a personal appearance
60,000 requests for studio Basses to
the broadcast came in, his train was.
mobbed at Grand Central Station, and
photographers elbowing their wey
through the milling fans shouted, "Get
that guy out of the way." "That guy"
.was Bergen,
Bergen is constantly embarrassed
by Charlie's insolence and gaucheries.
Recently. Charlie was made an honor-
ary Master Sergeant at March Field,
in (California. It was the new Col-
onel's first day, and he was being
very starchy about the 'whole affair
as 5,000 men marched solemnly for
Charlie. 'r'his was the time, if any,
for Charlie to show the good effects
of •his Chautauqua upbringing, but he
moved right in with.: "Now that `I
am officially, one of you, I'd like to
make a few suggestions for improv-
ing this man's army. Wouldn't it be
a good idea," he said, "to put host-
esses on the bombers?" '
.Charlie who admits his grandfather
was a i whiffletree on the Covered
Wagon, has been loaded down with
honors, He was appointed the world's
first International Pire Chief, was
Mayor ,of' San Francisco for a day,
was Grand Marshal of the Tournee
mint of Roses. There was a special
McCarthy Day at both the San Fran -
disco and New York World's Fairs.
Charlie received -a special wooden Os-
car ("for 'the outstanding comedy cre-
ation of 1938.") from the Motion Pic-
ture Academy, and has had frequent
write-in votes for ,public offices of ev-
ery description, from the Presidency
down,
. Alarm clocks, sweatshirts, dolls,
and dozens of gadgets have been nam-
ed after Charlie, netting a paltry'
$100,040 a year, for his piggie bank.
But officially, Charlie complains of
Bergen's Swedish thrift. "All I get
out of your icebox," gripes Oharlie,
"is an echo." He has publicly stated
that "Bergen is a man of rare gifts,"
and further revealed that "Bergen
buys cups" that 'are 'Trough inside on
the bottom- so when you pude your'
spoon in you think the sugar's in al-
ready."
Charlie receives an allowance of 75
cents a week, painfully raised from
2'5 cents. Bergen explains that if he
gives Charlie too much money par-
ents, complain of trouble with • their
youngsters, who quote Cbarlie's.allow-.
anee as an 'example.
One of my visits:with with Charlie end-
ed abruptly. It was getting late,,,ancl,
Charlie piped up: " "You'd think' he'd
have sense enough to get the hell •
out of here and let a little boy get
some sleep!" •
