CUSTARD

"A soft custard should be cooked
slowly in a double boiler and stir
red almost constantly. If a Gus
tard is cooked in this way at a
temperature lower than boiling a
longer time is required but the
custard is smooth and velvety.
When it coats the spoon the Gus
tard is done and should be re-
moved at once from the heat and
cooled rapidly. Setting it in a
pan of cold water will stop the
cooking and prevent the custard
from curdling. An overlooked
soft custard that has curdled can
be made smooth by beating with

Of the Serbian capital. Pachitch was
placed on trial as one of a number
Of conspirators responsible for the
attempt on the kings life. He was
sentenced to prison but afterward
pardoned.
In 1902 King Alexander asked him
TO form ministry but he failed in
the task. After the assassination of
Alexander and his consort, Queen
Draga, Pachitch became minister of
foreign affairs in the Gruitch cabi-
net. subsequently he was also pre-
mier during the reign of King Peter
and occupied this position when the
world war broke out.
In 1903 the annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by Austria Hun
gary and the revolution in Turkey
brought about an acute crisis. The
whole nation clamored for war with
Austria Hungary to bring about the
realization of the dream of many
Serbs, that Is, the union in a single
empire of Serbia, Bosnia, Herzego-
VIVA, Montenegro and the Sanjak of
Novibazar including northwestern
Macedonia.
Serbia demanded compensation
from Austria Hungary for the annex
alton OF Bosnia and Herzegovina, but
neither the dual-monarchy nor the
young Turks would consider the ses-
sion OF any territory and in January
1909, the cutlery for war was renew
ed.
Pachitch induced Serbia to abandon
her claim to territorial "compensa-
ton" and leave the Balkan question
for solution by the Powers. Pachitch
was close friend of the late En-
peror Nicholas of Russia. His poll
cy was upheld by Great Britain, Rus
STA, France and Italy.
During the World war he was a
frequent visitor to Paris where he
represented Serbia at the Interallied
Conference. He was a strong advo-
cate of punishment for all German
leaders Responsible for the crimes
of war.
On Jan. II. 1919. he resigned the
Premiership. Meanwhile he had
served as the Jugoslavia delegate to
the Peace Conference. He was also
a leading figure in the negotiations
with Italy in the settlement of the
Adriatic question.
LESS than two years after his
WltHoA a WoA tiIC 6ONCi LII
1919, he was again called upon to
form cabinet, which he succeeded
in doing. 1t was in this government
that he undertook the portfolio Of
Minister Of Foreign Affairs as well
as the Premiership. Eight months
later he submitted another resigna-
ton, but was requested by King Alex
ander to continue in office and form
a new cabinet. In complying with
this request, he relinquished the port
folio of Foreign Minister and retain
ed the Premiership.
The Premier's opposition to the
formation of Croatian Republic
within the monarchy Of Jugoslavia,
together with his loss of control over
the Belgrade parliament, however.
forced him from office in December,
1922. The downfall Of his govern
ment on this occasion was said to
have been due to M. Raditch, Croa-
tan bookseller, who controlled bloc
of 60 peasants holding the balance Oh
power.

MUSICAL PROGRAM
AT CURRENT EVENTS
CLUB SILVER TEA

The regular meeting of the Angus
Ia Current Events Club on Friday
afternoon took the form of q silver
tea, held at the parlors Of the PEN
ney Mecorial church. Despite the
storm good attendance of members
and guests enjoyed fine program of
readings and music arranged by Mrs.
c. w. Horton and Mrs. r. B. Herrick.
Mrs. w. P. Berry delighted her hear
ers by her song, I'm the Garden of
Tomorrow, by Deepen, and absent"
by Metcalf. She was accompanied by
Mrs. Horton, who also rendered sew
eral piano solos which were much en- :
joyed. Her numbers were, "Secret
Wishes, by Lange, "Une Promenade
dams la Jardin", and "Danse Ecos-
saise", by Baker.
Miss Evelyn Estey, a student at
Colby college was pleasing in her
readings, entitled What Would You
Call It?" and MY First Reading,
Aunt Pabiatha" and "Just Before
Christmas, and encore.
A feature of the afternoon which
was much appreciated was the in
formal organ recital by Leo K. An
drews. His program included a va
riety of selections well adapted to
show the responsiveness Of the fine
organ and among them were: Pre-
Jude and Fugue in D Minor by Bach:

turned to him. The Serbian Bis
mark" was to have formed a cabinet
today to replace that of former
Premier Ouzounovitch, which resign
ed several days ago. He talked with
King Alexander until late hour last
night, and public announcement that
he had been REQUESTED to form min
istry would have been made today.
The stroke of apoplexy is attribut-
ed to not only high tension on the
part of the 80 year old statesman
over the Italian Albanian situation
corruption against his son, Rademir,
by the opposition radical leader,
Stefan Raditch. M. Pachitch. who
for As years has played prominent
part in his country's politics, was
deeply affected by these charges and
had demanded a parliamentary in
vestigation in order to clear the name
of his family.
Flags were half masted throughout
Jugoslavia and the population was in
mourning today, for in it's hour of
trouble. the country has always turn
ed to him. AS premier and minister
Of foreign affairs, he had long held
positions Of trust in his country, vir-
tually ruling over period of twenty
years. 1t was he who, in 1914, re-
ceived the fateful Austrian ultima
tum precipitating the void war.
One of the leaLing figures in the
peace conference at Versailles after
the world war, he is credited here
with greatly influencing President
Wilson's central European policy.
M. Pachitch, his friends say. was
always a fighter for principles, but
a peacemaker in practice. Wise in
his 80 years of life and his 45 years
of political experience. he stood out
above his contemporaries. His alb
sence, 1t Is felt will be the more
marked if current rumors should
prove true that his long political en-
envy, Raditch, may now force his way
into power.
