of of of 1 BROOKLYN EAGLE, DEC. 11, 1944 11 I MEN Are Doing Red Cabbage Adds Touch Of Brilliance Wintertime Specialty Is Easy on the Eyes And Fine to Eat By MARGARET PETTIGREW A touch of color on the plate does much to brighten every meal. Deeptoned dabs of beet relish, golden mounds of squash or crimson wedges of tomato add warmth to Winter dining. While we have several standbys of the vegetable set from which to choose this color, none can match the spectacular range of tints offered by a favorite of the season, red cabbage. Very popular with the people of North European countries, this late maturing cabbage.

which is sold mostly as a novelty seasonal vegetable. may appear at the dinner table in any one of a variety of tones, red, pink, blue-red, blue, violet, green or as a pink and blue mixture. The reason is, of course, that the coloring matter many-toned beauty is so sensitive that it is affected by most everything that touches it the hands, the knife used in preparing or by any acid or alkali the cabbage meets during or after cooking. Acid helps hold the natural red color. Alkali tends to turn red cabbage blue or green.

If this vegetable is served raw with a salad dressing, it comes to the table bright red or blue-red because of the acid in the dressing. If cooked in water with acid in it, the cabbage red-pink. But if cooked in hard water containing some alkaline salts, it is blue. Cooked 15 minutes in water containing soda, it becomes green. But please take word for that and don't try four because the result isn't worth eating.

Cooked in milk. red cabbage holds its color better than if it is cooked in water, unless the water contains acid. Cook red cabbage in a small amount of water in a covered pan until just tender. To hold the red color, especially when cooking in hard water, add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the water. Again red cabbage can be cooked in a small amount of milk and the milk thickened to make a sauce.

Another attractive and delicious way to cook this cabbage is bake del it with sliced apple. The apple provides acid to help keep the cabbage red. and the cabbage supplies enough color to tint the apple pink. Baked Red Cabbage 1 small head red cabbage. shredded 2 cooking apples, pared and sliced 1 small onion, chopped 2 tablespoons sugar teaspoon salt 1-3 cup red wine tablespoon fat tablespoon flour Cook cabbage in small amount of lemonized water until tender.

This Dr. Daniel Katz, chairman of at Brooklyn College where results of a poll made public yesterday, revealed psychology as the most popular study course on the campus. Incidentally, the girl students are in the majority at Brooklyn College. These students do not want to make the same mistakes that the older generation made, added Dr. Katz.

"Just because these girls have taken a few courses in psychology doesn't mean that they have all the answers." he pointed out. "However, it is a step in the right direction. It reflects a point of view that is becoming increasingly popular, namely, an objective approach to human problems rather than an emotional one." Asked to comment on the rejection and discharge by the army of more than a million and a half mental misfits, the professor declined to place the blame on parents for bad upbringing of their offspring as has been generally charged. Strict With 1 First Child "In the past the training of children has been very casual. Parents have not been experts in raising children.

The usual pattern was to be rigorous in dealing with the first child. When other children came along the parents were worn out and just threw up their hands and relaxed their vigilance." The most popular use of psychology today, said Dr. Katz, includes the polling of public opinion, industrially as in personnel management and government research. Also, child guidance is a branch of psychology in the study course for students preparing for teaching. "There is no magic in psychology," Dr.

Katz continued, "but we have a long way to go before it is established as a definite science. In the past it was classified as an 'arm chair is something more tangible today." will take a much more psytheir own children than do the belief was expressed today by the Department of Psychology Dr. Katz, who was on the faculty of Princeton University for 14 years before accepting the chair of psychology a year ago at Brooklyn College, has made a study of public opinion polls and has written a treatise on the subject. "The public opinion polls should he declared, "because in addition to its practical utility it is important in the development of the science of social psychology." Returning to the subject of mental misfits, Dr. Katz said that he does not consider the increasing number of persons in mental institutions as frequently reported to be indicative of a rise in such cases throughout the country.

"Mental misfits in earlier times were kept at home by families, but today the family is more on the move and consequently less able to care for a mentally ill member. As a result many more are placed in institutions where they are given proper treatment." Just Trouble Shooting Psychology is looked upon by Dr. Katz as a trouble shooter in human behavior. "When the engine of an automobile fails to work we don't expect to remedy it by swearing at it or losing our temper. Instead we check the gas tank and the spark plugs.

Psychology applies the same principle to human beings. Causes of trouble are sought. "Of course, we do not wish to become cold automatons lacking emotions," he commented. "Early psychology dealt with parts of the human being; his vision, hearing and such defects as color blindness," he said. "The new emphasis upon' human personality is a most fruitful approach to an understanding of basic social problems," concluded the professor.

Today has been a great day for the French people the first celebration of Armistice Day in to have this day off so I rolled out of bed at 9:30 in the morning, dressed myself and with a friend went to see the parade down the Champs Elysees. The whole avenue' and the Place de la Concorde were packed with millions of people-some standing on ladders, other sitting in trees, some standing on roofs and balconies of buildings and the fortunate standing on the curb. It seemed as though of Paris-and then some--were gathered there.

We pushed ourselves forward until we were finally standing near the curb of the Arc de Triomphe. A little before 11 a.m. there arose a great shout and we did not have to wait long to find what the excitement was about. In tale first car of the procession coming up the Champs Elysees seated Mr. Churchill and General de Gaulle with Anthony Eden following in a second car.

It was certainly a thrill I shall never forget. When we saw Churchill I fully expected President Roosevelt to be behind him and from the murmurs of the French people around us. they were also anticipating his appearance. Although the crowd was terrifically noisy, after the gun went off four years. I was fortunate enough stairs where those who've been there at least once go.

Mary Haworth's Mail -Now Never Liked Broaches Son's Merger Wife DEAR MARY HAWORTH -I am 32, and my husband, who is 35, has B5 just been discharged from the army at because of a nervous ailment, after 18 months' service. We've been married for 13 years and our marriage so far has been ideal. We've both worked hard and with great sacrifice have succeeded in paying off all debts; also, the second mortgage on our house. My husband's father died suddenly a year ago. leaving his semiinvalid widow alone, at 67.

in a large home in a mid- Western city -with enough insurance, real estate and personal assets to comfortably meet her needs. At her death, the estate is to go to two unmarried daughters. There is also a bachelor son. 45, who is quite well off. Two weeks ago- one week after my husband's discharge from the army -his mother wrote asking us to either give up our home here and come to live with her, or to let her come and live with us.

My husband agrees with me that she should not come to live with us; but we don't know how to tell her so without hurting her feelings. The truth is, I have always hesitated to ask her to come even for A visit. as she is a very selfish, dominating woman and a thorough snob, who has shown in many ways that I am not at all the sort of person she would have chosen for her son's wife. But having an easy going disposition, I have always overlooked everything for the sake of peace and harmony. Do you think my husband or I should tell her how we feel? If so, just what should we say? A.

D. Talk Business DEAR A. ounce prevention is worth a pound of cure. And AS a positive measure for keeping the peace--for keeping yourselves out of each other's hair--you must, it seems to me. promptly turn down your mother-in-law's dangerous proposition in toto.

But in decisively blocking her bold maneuver. keep in mind the proverb. "Least said, soonest mended." Don't play into her hands by conceding that the situation is made ticklish by sentimental complexities. Treat her suggestion. rather, as a a a business deal that has been a broached and which.

on the face of it, seems altogether inadvisable in the circumstances, all things considered. If your husband feels equal to the task of being spokesman for your unified desire to safeguard domestic privacy, let him administer the turndown in a pleasantly final tone. Or if, due to his present nervous fatigue, he prefers to by-pass that chore to you, write her in his name, saying in effect: "John and I have talked over your idea, and he feels, and I agree with him, etc." Take Firm Stand The gist of your argument should be this: 1. A burdensome amount of real estate shuffling would be involved in any such transaction, which at her age she should avoid. and which John is in no mood or condition to undertake.

or to feel responsible for, just now, when for perhaps the next year or two his greatest need is for absolute peace quiet in familiar surroundings, and when he dearly loves the little home you have contrived together. with much hard work and joint sacrifice. 2. To be perfectly frank, your home setup "as is," and here recite concrete illustrations, as limited space, war curtailments. special duties, can be juggled to provide adequate comfort for two; but any addition to the program would penalize all concerned, and probably the third party most of all.

Wherefore you and John are unalterably convinced that the smart thing for her. and yourselves, to do is to stay put your respective ends for. of the line. M. B..
