Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Most of the Christmas candies re-
ouire so much beating that small
folk find 1t impossible to include a
ocx of candies in their gifts.
However, there are many candies
that require no beating or delicate
handling. The English toffee is cas-
lily made and much liked by both
grown-ups and little folks. Our own
butter scotch is always a favorite.
Tonce
Two cups light brown sugar, 2
tablespoons water. 2 tablespoons OF
vinegar. 8 tablespoons butter.
Put sugar. water. vinegar and but
ter into a smooth pan. Let
stand a few minutes until sugar Is
partially melted. Put over fire and
bring to boiling point. Do 10 stir.
Let boil until the syrup threads. Pour
very little into a cup of water. If
the syrup forms strings that snap
when they strike against the cup the
toffee Is done. Pour into a we'll but
tered tin and let stand till cool.
Crease and let harden. Then break
MO sections formed by the creases.
Butter Scotch
Six tablespoons brown sugar, 4
tablespoons molasses. 2 tablespoons
butter, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tea
spoon soda.
Fut sugar, molasses, vinegar and
butter in a sauce pan Bring to boil
ing point and let boil without stir
ring until syrup cracks when tried in
cold water. Stir IN the soda and re-
move from fire. Pour into a well but
tered tin and let stand till brittle or
drop from the tip of the spoon onto
a marble slab. making thin round
waters. The waters require quick
ness in dropping. for the butter
scotch hardens rapidly.

Two cups light bf own sugar, 1 cup
water. 1 tablespoon vinegar, 4 table,
spoons butter, 2 squares Bakers
chocolate, 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Put suga.. water and vinegar in
sauce pan and bring to the boiling
point. Let boil without stirring for
twenty minutes. Add butter and
chocolate. Boil until syrup snaps
when dropped in cold water. Do not
let syrup boil hard with big bubbles.
Let it simmer and do not stir at any
time. 1t should take about half n
hour to cook. Pour on buttered tins
and let cool. When cool enough to
handle add vanilla. Pull the edges
of the candy over toward the center
to work in the vanilla. Then pull
till hard. Cut with big shears rubbed
with butter.
Peanut Candy
Two cups granulated sugar, 1 cup
peanuts.
Put sugar in an iron frying pan.
Melt over a slow fire. stirring con-
stantly. When the sugar makes a
syrup add the peanuts and pour into
a well buttered tin. Cool and crease
and break on the creases when cold.

nose and mouth open into each
other.

JUSTICE TO NEGRO is THE RACE
PROBLEM SOLUTION IN SOUTH,
MOTION SAYS.

Trinity College, Durham, March
31.-Justice was pointed out as the
solution OF the race problem for the
south by Major Robert NJ. Motion
Colored, principal Of Tuskegee Inst
tute, in addressing an audience OF
1,200 Trinity students and visitors, a
number of Negroes in the lot, Ger
man Memorial hall. BY this common
sense doctrine the Negro leader won
round after round of applause from
the assemblage.
A desire for social equality on the
part Of the Negroes was character
lied as a myth. On the other hand,
Major Motion pointed out. the blacks
are as strenuously opposed to this
system as are whites. AS proof of
this statement an instance was cited
where Negro parents refused to allow
their children to be taught by one
who was the daughter of a mixed
marriage.
What the Negroes do desire, con-
tinued the speaker, is civic equality
facilities which will insure them the
proper safeguards of life and SAM
tation. In this connection the Jim
Grow car was mentioned. Major Mo.
ten declared that he approved of the
separation of the races on trains
but held that II was a crime to pack
people into a car-often an old woode
one sandwiched between the engine
and steel coach where they would
be bullied by the train crew
The students were pleaded with
TO use their influence that such dis
might be eliminated in
The future.
Major Motion pointed out that the
south was the land of opportunity in
the United States today. Industrial!
and agriculturally and that the Ne
gro race offered a source of labor
supply not to be overlooked. Edu-
cation was declared to be the means
Of fitting the Negro for a better la
boring man and better citizen.

Urges Gov. Dorsey Of Georgia TO
Suppress Organization.

Atlanta, Ca, Marcn 3l.-Alleging
that several Negroes have been killed
and driven from certain communities
recently by the Ku Klux Khan. Gov.
Hugh M. Dorsey has been requested
by the State Committee on Inter
racial Relations to SUPPRESS the
knights of the Ku Klux Klaan in the
state.
In previous conferences with mem
mers of the Inter-racial Committee
the Governor had taken the position
that he had no more right to sup
press the Ku Klux than he had TO
suppress the Masons, the Knights of
Pythias, the Blks or any other secret
order. On Sunday he received
letter from the Rev. Homer Thomp-
son, pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal church at Hartwoll. with regard
to alleged misstatements made in the
Hart county court house by Ku
Klux lecturer.
Mrs. Thompson asked whether GER
tain statements made by the lecturer
were true and the Governor replied
that they were fabrications.
The statements made by the lee
turer and denied by the Governor,
alleged that Negroes in Atlanta had
demanded that two of their number
BIO placed on the Board of Education
and that, when the request was re-
fused, they served notice upon the
City Council threatening a race riot
Gov Dorsey was said to have be-
come alarmed and to have appealed
