Mrs. Nicholson's supporters and
friends are predicting all sorts of i'm
portant political possibilities for her
in the future and are most gratificd
that she has been appointed as vice
chairman of the Democratic nationa /
congressional committee for Mar
land. This appointment was made al
the suggestion of the United Demo
cratic Women's Clubs of Maryland
and this is the first time a woman has
been appointed to this post in this
State
Mrs. Nicholson is a real Maryland
housekeeper who can pass on Mary
land traditions of cookery. She says
there arc many recipes for spoon
bread, but none that compare with
hers. which is a family institution. To
make it for breakfast for which il
is most delicious, use this method:
Take one large cooking tablespoon
of cornmeal. Scald with boiling water
until very thin. add one-half tea
spoonful of salt and then mix in three
eggs and add almost one quart Of
milk-enough to make the mixtUr"
very thin. Add two teaspoonfuis OF
baking powder and stir well. Pour
through sieve into a baking pan in
which one-eighth of a pound of butter
has been melted. Put in hot oven.

HOW TT STARTED

Ice Cream.

America keeps 100000 COWS to sup
ply Its ice cream. Yet Of the ancestry
of this concoction little is thought
and less is known. If the inouirinc
mind thinks about it at all, ice cream
is assumed, no doubt, to be American
and to have always been known.
Yet ~untiring and reliable research
reveals the fact that the art of max
ing ice cream originated in Italy.
probably before 1900. Thence it trav-
eled by slow stages to France and
England and eventually to America.
1t is known that ice cream was
familiar in England under it's present
name during the eighteenth century.
Lady Mary Wortley, in. letter writ
ten in 1716, shows a knowledge of the
dish. But the first recorded reference
to ice cream by that name was in

lished in London in 1869 by Mistress
Elizabeth Raffald, in which she gives

SHEDDING POPULAR
 OUTDOOR PASTIME
Glaze on Sidewalks and Streets
 GreetS Early RiSerS

An icy glaze fabricated by the ele- ments while the city slept covered sidewalks and streets early this morning, presenting a hazard to pe- destrians and a menace to automo- bile drivers which they quickly ap- preclated as soon as they had gotten their cars under way.
 Many drivers found difficulty in negotiating turns at street corners and where there was an incline ma chimes acted like ships without rud- dens. The glaze, thin but resisting the pressure of tires, formed trap for the unwary or others who stated out without chains.
 Traction was extremely difficult on streets with hard paving. Drivers found truth in the old song, "We don't know where we're going but we're on our way" It was not an unusual sight to see automobiles drawn up at the side of the road while the owners struggled with chains which never seemed so ob- stinate. The fine rain did not i'm prove conditions, serving simply to polish the sheet Of ice which had al ready fallen and make the going more treacherOus.
 If manipulating an automobile was difficult. walking also had its draw backs Pedestrians skidded into each other and turned corners with such capers that even solid, respectable citizens did not escape suspicion of having indulged in holiday beVer- ages which produce foggy vision, cachinnation and steps that chaI- lenge the imagination of fiapper.

NO FUNDS T0 PAY
 FOR RETURN HOME
Government Unable to Help
 Wrangel Island Survivors

Washington, Dec. 24.-Requests that the government provide trans portation for the thirteen Americans taken from Wrangell Island 10 Nladivostok by a soviet ship have been met by government officials here with the explanation that the government has no funds which could be expended legally for that purpose.
 The request reached Inc state de- partmcnt through D. l.. Sutherland. the Alaskan delegate in congress- and Carl Lomen, member of the business concern which employed the party for work on Wrangell Is- land.
 The government fecls that the party should be cared for by the commercial company which eWploy- ed them 10 promote private enter prise. the stranded Americans ap- parcntly voluntarily accepted pas sage on the soviet ship and went from Wrangell island 10 Vladivostok of their own choice. The Washing ton government never lad anything to do with the enterprise.
 Some time ago, however, the state department transmitted to the Am crican consul at Harbin, Manchuria for the relief of Charles Wells, head of the party, because he was report ed in destitute circumstances at NIadiyostok. The others are said in reports reaching here to be living in comparative comfort in Russia although they now are threatened with expulsion by the soviet govern mcnt.
