This crowded store has its food counters too. They are full of canned soups, fruits, galantines, fish auch as sardines and kipper snacks, cheese, v malted milk, packaged - jellies, - flour, dried fruits and the like. There is plenty of tea cakes and candy. No ration cards here and no atarva-- , tion for the fellow who has a sixpence. But we are after more sturdy stuff and go out again to tha meat markets. It is early in the day and we find In the windows, below the roasting and stewing 'cuts of strictly rationed beef, t mutton and veal hanging on their silver hooks, travs of edible offals,' - There are hearts, kidneys, liver, tripe and the like, and sausages which are half meat and ; J, There self-risin- g 1 .

So we pick up some liver to go with the slim allowance of bacon we sha" pick up at our own store along with the weeks butter and sugar portion. It is not big but will serve amply. Next comes the bakery. There want Is certainly no sign of here. There are piles of bread-w- hite, rye, whole Wheat, raisin malt (which Is dark eweet and excellent with tea) and even twisted seed loaves. There are rolls and buns. innumerable What Is most alluring Is the display of tea cookies cakes and scones. You would think war had no real effect upon these things If you were making a quick tour, but we who live In London In peace as well as war can point out differences. Bakery confections which took many eggs have diminished In number. The splendid sugar from Icings have disappeared both cakes and buns. There Is no longer the heaping whipped cream decorations.

The English greengrocer supplies not only the vegetables for the soup and entree but the after dinner nuts, too. Here they are, walnuts, filberts and big Kent Cobs and, strangely enough, lots of Brazil nuts which certainly do not grow in England. We make our selections and stow away our vegetables nude, for the paper shortage does not allow paper sacks; but who cares? Next stop Is at the fishmongers. Here we find . dover and lemon sole, plaice, bream, hake herring and cod. The Scotch salmon is too expensive to interest one who used to live near the Columbia River. Fat herring, lightly kippered, used to be always available but It sometimes runs out these days. One can substitute smoked haddock. - (INS) If the United States has to should der President Roosevelt's plan to aid Great Britain U. S.

Nearby are hanging large rabbits suggesting tooth(AP) some fricassees. The choice Is hard to make, for fish, fowl and rabbit come on the menu with great frequency these days. We decide to have none of them but make a special trip to another market district where we can get thick venison steaks to broil. They are not rationed, exoppt by their price, and this being a special will not stop us. Our regular grocer, with whom we are registered for the rationed commodities doles out the bacon, sugar and butter. We pick up some Cheddar, Cheshire and chilvern cheese.

High Court WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (AP) The constitutionality of the law administrations wage-hou- r was a. issue todav in arguments before the Supreme Court. The validity of the legislation was defended by the Justice Department on the ground that state wage-hou- r action had been wholly futile and that a national law was necessary to fix minimum pay and maximum work week. The attack on the 1938 law was based on contentions that It violated state rights, took property without due process of law, and was capricious. The challengers were Fred W. Darbv, lumber company operator of Statesboro, Ga., and a group of southern cotton mills. BERLIN, Dec. 20. (AP) The French cabinet shakeup of last Saturday known here as "thd putsch of Vichy, has taught the German government one great lesson, men in, the know here say. office and detained without Germany being even so much That lesson, they assert, is that there is an influential group at work within the French government to scuttle, if possible, attempts at a French-Germasuch as planned between Relchsfuehrer Hitler and the French former vice premier, Pierre Laval. German government circles, they reported, long had suspected that not all who were giving lip service to the plan for a new order in Europe under .German leadership were sincere about it, Lavals sudden removal uncovered the hands of these counterforces, it is said here. . as Informed.
