FROM THE PERSONS who would know best, bartenders and waitresses, I discover that women eat more fruit out of pub-mixed cocktails than men,

"I don't know whether that's shocking or not.

Anyway, notes on surveys of this type have a tendericy to become blurred and tersé.” So much so that the next time there won't be any. “I've been tending bar for 20 years,” is the first uote in my notebook. It's also one of the few legible scribbles. Let us proceed to reconstruct an evening's work. You say that in 20 years of service behind the bar you have never touched a drop? I see, You never touch a drop now. Doctors do get funny ideas, don’t’ they. Getting back to the subject of olives, cher?les, orange slices and onions, Maybe a short one. Just anything—the best should be good enough.

Olives Outrank Cherries

WHY DO you suppose raore olives out of martinis are eaten by both men and women than cher ries out of manhattans? Not as sweet. Act as an appetizer. How about the orange slices? Say, you do feel strongly about mixed drinks. A place would lose a lot of business by keeping the ladies out. You're not sure but you think women prefer the cherry to the orange in a whisky sour. Men, if they eat anything, will eat the orange first. Well. Does that apply to the old-fashioned? Is that a fact? The fair ones will order more whisky sours than old-fashioneds. They prefer the fancier drink. Fine, let's ask the waitress. Ah, give me the same. Thanks. Now, young lady, the subject under discussion Is . .. You've been listening and you think the reason women will send back more slices is be-

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 6—Henry Kaiser's offices are done in lime green and coral red, and are roughly as big as Yankee Stadium. There is nothing office-like about the blond woods and light carpets and the tremendous view of Oakland's skyline through the huge windows, The layout looks much more like Hollywood than industry. When the urge for chow comes upon the great man, he gets into the elevator and rides down to

a cheery, special dining room, where his top execu-

tives are busy munching at three or four tables. By slightly raising his voice, Mr. Kaiser can get an answer regarding any phase of his industries --cars, steel, aluminum, housing. The executives are mostly youngish and proné to downhold the enthusjasm of their big boss.

Enthusiasm Is His Keynote

I DO NOT BELIEVE 1 ever saw anyone who could touch Mr. Kaiser for enthusiasm. He works, roughly, about 10 years ahead of his freshest project—if he is building a car now of aluminum,

say, he is already mulling over the prospect of constructing one of spun glass or moonbeams. The old gentleman at the moment is very touchy over the accusations that -he has used the United States government largely to finance and expand his interlocking industries, at little risk of other than federal captial. His luncheon conversation is full of facts and figures, and millions roll off his tongue like peas off a knife.

My. Kaiser's claim is that, despite his vast borrowings from Uncle S8am, he has effected equally vast savings on the production of wartime necessities over competitive industrialists; that he has plowed back huge sums of personal profits, and that he has been most shy about buying back government defense plants at a few cents on the invested buck. He cites one sworn figure of $465,924,000 that he says was saved the government in

Mr. Peanut Speaks By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6—William F. Seals can't understand how .the British managed to make such a big fizzle of\their mighty East African peanut program. A peanut is a simple thing, like a bean. Stick one in the ground and you get a bush. This has yellow flowers. The blossoms droop down until they touch the earth where, eventually, each one produces below the surface another peanut. That's all there is to peanuts. It's beyopd Mr. Seals how our English cousins managed to mess up an easy one like that. I sought him out on the subject of African peanuts because he is Mr. Peanut in person. As president of the National Peanut Council he knows more about peanuts, probably, than anybody. He keeps a bowl of peanuts on his desk. He spreads his bread with peanut butter, which he insists does not, either, stick to the roof of his mouth. The draperies on his windows are made of peanutprotein fiber. And if Mrs. Seals ever fried a chicken in anything but peanut oil he'd probably divorce her. I mean he's an expert on peanuts.

Spend $100 Million

THE BRITISH figured back In 1947 they'd spend nearly $100 million planting 3,210,000 loamy" African acres in peanuts and thereby would get so much peanut oil in five years they wouldn't have any fats and oils shortage. w , They spent most of the money, but so far they've got less than 50,000 acres planted and these, so far, are producing durn few goobers: This. doesn’t make sense to Mr. Seals. peanut amateurs in Africa blame a drought,“for on¢ thing, but Mr. Seals says a peanut seldom gets thirsty, except maybe when salted on the bar in a saloon. All it wants is some sandy soil, not. too rich, and it'll produce peanut butter at thé rate of 665 pounds per acre,
