Ander 'J A J'iA- I PERHAPS THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH OF LEE An illustration from "The Face of Robert E. Lee" TUESDAY'8 MEATLESS DINNER Fruit Cup Cheese Strata Currant Jelly Crisp Potato Stick Buttered Snapbeans Frosted Gingerbread Squares (Recipe for Starred Dish Follows) Snapbeans, as you probably have noticed, appear on these menus often. That's because they not only taste good and offer excellent food value, but when you compare them pound for pound with a number of other vegetables you will find that they go furthur in a meal. They do not shrink in cooking and they have no large stems or roots that have to be discarded in preparing them. They combine well with most main dishes and if they are cooked in a small amount of water only until "crisp-tender" they are delicious and add a crunchlness needed In menus.

Cheese Strata 13 slices bread pound processed yellow cheese, sliced 4 eggs, slightly beaten I 24 cups milk teaspoon salt Dash of pepper Arrange 8 slices of bread from which the crusts have been trimmed, in the bottom of a bak ing dish, fitting them in so that the entire surface is covered.

The other beam, the Localizer, is vertical, and forms an invisible marker down the middle of the runway. i In addition, to ILS, airports at New York, Washington and Chicago also are protected by a radar land ing aid. Plans are under way to install this "talk down" system at othei important air travel centers, ILS represents what Is virtually a world standard for bad weather landing aids. It has been recom mended to the International Civil Aviation Organization by its navl gatlon commission after an inten sive study of available methods. ILS can be connected with some types of automatic pilot to achieve automatic landings, Just as the plane can be flown In level flight without the pilot's handling the controls.

Some airlines already are installing the needed equipment. The CAA's program also includes new methods of navigating the air space. One is a long range navlgat ing system using high power, low frequency, omni-directional ranges. Anolher is a low-power, very high frequency range system for short distance navigation. The pilot is never off the beam with the omni-directional range.

He can tell his position with respect to the sending station all the way around the compass. The CAA has planned only four omni-directional ranges to cover the entire United States, with addtional ones at San Juan, P. and Molo- Oeak, Watery Blood Blamed for Making en and Uomcn Look and Feel Older THAN THEII YEAIS Row do you feel at the end of a day?

Today is the 141st birthday anniversary of General Robert E. ee, an event which Is being observ-d throughout the South, and in Virginia as Lee-Jacskon Day, when Virginians honor the memory of Lee's great corps chief as well as the Army of Northern Virginia Chieftain himself.

And colncidentally, a new book entitled Face of Robert E. Lee," by Roy Meredith, has been published by Charles Scribner's fons. New York and has recently become available at bookstores throughout the country. Nine by twelve Inches in size, the book presents all the best known photographs of General Lee, and many not so well known but ex tremely revealing in their studies of the face of the great Confederate. We Found Oujt Just how complete "The Face Of Robert E.

Lee" is, was particularly brought home to The Leader Papers recently, when it happened to pro cure an old tintype of General Lee, lor use with a story about Lee at Gettysburg. For awhile, it was thought that a hitherto-unpublish ed photograph of Lee had turned since it was noted that Lee was attired in full uniform, and only once after Appomattox had he been lenown to pose in complete military garb, for another photograph. However, before historical authorities were consulted, a copy of the new book, "The Face Of Robert E. Lee," was examined, and there in the volume was the tintype, which wasn't a photograph at all, but a lithograph of Lee at Jackson's grave as an artist Imagined it. Some Brady Photographs Roy Meredith the compiler of this collection of authentic and some legendary pictures of Lee is also the author of "Mr.

Lincoln's Camera Man," a book about Matthew B. Brady, the famous photographic historian of the War Between the States and the first American to take a camera to the battlefield. Mr. Brady's camera knew "no North, no South" but depicted impartially the epoch-making figures that passed before the accurate eye of his lens. On, page 81 of "The Face of Robert E.

Lee" the author presents what he considers the best of all Brady's photographs and the last he was ever to make of Lee, who lived only eighteen months after Mr. Brady had' Importuned Lee to sit for a picture in his gallery in Washington while Lee, in response to an invitation from the White House, had stopped on his way from Baltimore to pay his respects to President Grant. What passed between these two famous former opposing generals nas never been satisfactorily recorded, but apparently it had no political significance as far as the South was concerned. The interview lasted perhaps not longer than fifteen minutes and was doubtless Just a Eddy Howard Favorites On Majestic Records at The Record Shop True Now Is The Hour Love Tales Lassus Trombone A Tune For Humming My Blue Heaven I'm Comin' A Courtin' Corabelle I'll Be There I Just Dropped In To Say Hello I Can't Get Off Of My Horse Just Plain Love Say Something Nice About Me Kate On The Avenue Apple Blossom Wedding Blue Tail Fly On The Old Spanish Trail Ragtime Cowboy Joe Santa Catalina Don't Tell Me That Story Bless You There Is No Breeze She's Funny That Way Rickety Rickshaw Man To Each His Own Careless THE RECORD SHOP Opposite City Hall Phone 2583 mous victor who at Appomattox had refused to accept the proffered sword" of the surrendering general, But thanks to President Grant in Invitation to General Lee, the lat ter's face was "satisfactorily re corded" for posterity by the pro' phetic photographer who saw Lee for the last time as he rose from the famous "Brady chair" in, which so many notables had sat for por traits. He made three pictures of Lee on this occasion, all shown in this book and all showing with startling effect what the war had done to General Lee, He was aging rapidly too fast for not only the long strain of four years of fighting against great odds five to one to say nothing of the inequality in revenue but illness was racking his splendid frame with pain.

What he regarded as rheu matism was probably angina pecto ris. After 1866 hardening of the arteries was rapid. Lee also suffered from arthritis, but he bore It all as bravely as he had borne the hard ships of war, all the while efficiently performing his duties as president of Washington College In Lexlng ton, from the time of his appoint ment in Beptember 1865 when he had ridden his horse Trav eller 108 miles from his summer home "Deravent" in Powhatan County. On this long ride Lee wore a uniform of gray from which he had removed all insignia and Con federate buttons. He was doubtless wearing the same suit a year later when Miley.

the 'Lexington photo grapher, finally succeeded in get ting a picture of "Lee on Traveller which became one of the most pop ular of Lee's pictures all through the South. Traveller Waa "Souvenir" Traveller became the South most famous horse sharing the at tention received by his immortal master, but he paid for his popular lty by giving up so much of his mane and tail to souvenir hunters that the horse grew nervous in the presence of strangers. The picture reveals the effects of this onslaught on his mane. These small wisps of horse hair perhaps framed under glass are doubtless treasured re lies to be handed down from gen eration to generation in many a Southern family. Lee truly loved Traveller, the horse that had car rled him through so many hard fought battles and had shared his dangers and sufferings.

Lee fondly said of him, "He is getting old like his master." Traveller outlived Lee, dying finally of tetanus. An excel lent reproduction of the large litho graph by A. J. Volck, produced in 1873, three years after Lee's death is still to be found in its original homes. In the 143 pages of the book are 120 pictures of Lee, arranged in more or less chronological order, One of the more unusual portraits shown as an artist's conception of Lee is the recent painting by Avery Handley of Winchester, Tenn.

painted for Donald Davidson of Vanderbilt University. mysti cal painting was inspired by the elegiac poem by Mr. Davidson, en titled "Lee on the Mountains. Office is Untouched Under the picture of Lee's office when president of Washington College is the legend: "Lee's office in the basement of the College Chapel remains today exactly as it was when he last walked out of it on the afternoon of Sept. 28, 1870." In the South the adoration of Lee is spontaneous, universal.

This is not-merely because he was one of the greatest military geniuses of all time, (Marshal Foch diligently studied the military movements-of Lee as the world's greatest strate gist) but rather because of the great goodness of the man himself, him human qualities, his unimpeachable honor, sympathy, his gift for making friends alike of the high and the low, The four famous equestrian sta tues of Lee close the most complete collection of Lee portraits ever assembled between book covers. The Charlottesville statue in Lee Park was erected in 1937 through funds provided by the late Alexander Weddell, president of the Virginia Historical Society, and the late Mrs. Weddell. Statue at Gettysburg The Gettysburg National Park statue is shown from a photograph of the cast model taken in 1910 by Huestis Cook, whose father, George Cook, was a famous Confederate photographer. Both horse and rider are shown in a statue of noble re pose.

The Dallas, Texas, statue in Lee Park is heroic both in size and con cept. Lee astride his beloved gal loping steed is accompanied by a smaller figure of a young conie derate soldier mounted likewise on a hurrying horse. "Lee's Last Review" took place in Richmond, on May 29, 1890, as ihis majestic figure, mounted on Traveller gazed down from his lofty height upon the largest iormation of Confederate troops now all mid dle aged that had been assembled since Appomattox. They found eathered there from all parts of the South to do honor to tne memory of their leader twenty years after his death infantrymen, cavalrymen, artillerymen, and the remnant of the Confederate navy all passed in review before the un seeing eyes of their beloved commander-in-chief. This still undaunted army was led in this final review on earth by "Lee's Lienten-ants," Generals John B.

Thirteen airlines have begun using instru ment landing system (ILS) equip men! at 42 cities In the United States to help them approach run' ways through clouds, rain and snow. More than 50 such installations already are operating in this coun try, and again that many will be xeady within a few months.

How ever, before the airlines can use ILS on passenger flights their pilots must demonstrate familiarity with the system at each point on their run. Tht airlines are American, Bran-iff, Chicago and Southern, Western, Trans-World, Continental, Delta, Eastern, Northeast, Southwest, Na tional, Pan-American and United. Pan-American is qualified to use ILS equipment at London and Gan der, N. in addition to New York, Washington and Houston, Texas. The Civil Aeronautics Admlnis tration (CAA), which installs and operates all such flying aids, has agreed to permit the airlines to land under lower ceilings with ILS than is permitted pilots not qualified for it.

Generally speaking, the minimum permissible ceiling is 400 feet. Celling is the height from which the ground can be seen and is measured electronically at many airports. During the first six months an airline uses ILS it may lower ceil- ngs by 100 feet, and later another 100 feet. That is the present maximum advantage, and Braniff, the first to qualify for ILS, has using the 200-foot ceiling. ILS provides an electronic path James Longstreet, Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee, Harry Heth, E.

His classic features, noble poise and deep-set thoughtful eyes prompted Mr. Meredith to write be neath it Douglas S. Freeman's estimate of his subject ia his famuus history of Lee: "Robert E. Lee was one of a small company of great men in whom there is no inconsis- ency to be explained, no enigma to ie solved. What he seemed, he was a wholly human gentleman, the essential elements of whose positive character were two and only two, simplicity and spirituality." MRS.
