Mexico City Dec. :4 [Pt--Colonel Charles 4. Lindbereh was back among the birdmen today at Cuer- navaca. state of Morales. He went as the guest of the Mexican air force to that beautiful resort along high ways strongly guarded by military police to prevent any attack by ban dits.
 The flyers mother. who left her classroom in Detroit to fly here to spend the Christmas holiday with her son, intended to inspect the work of Mexican schools. The visit 10 the I. W. C. A. girls schools and uni versailles and Red Cross organiza- tions will be made upon the invita- ton of Mexican women directing SO. cial and educational work for girls
 Christmas Day is expected 10 af- ford the Flying Colonel his first full day of rest since his arrival here more than a week ago. He and his mother intend to devote the day to relaxation and no program has been arranged.

 Then Christmas ended he will spend Tuesday grooming his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, for his Cen tral-American flight and devote the rest of his time to the study of maps of the territory to be covered. He will hop off for Guatemala Wednes- day morning and other Central Am erican countries before flying to Havana, Cuba.
 Lindbergh said he might fly 10 Porto Rico but had made no plans for such a visit-either before or after arriving at Havana

Los Angeles. Cal. Dee. et (C P1-- The movement ot Justice was speed ed up here today as police abandon ed their search for Andrew kra"m"l and prepared to bring William Ed yard Hickman to q quiet trial OH charges of kidnapping and murderins Marion Parker. l2.
 After thorough investigation, police announced they had practi- "hraemer' ever lived in reality and were concentrating their efforts on completing the case against Hick- man.
 The 1s-year- old Kansas City youth however, reiterated time and again his previous assertion that he was not present al the staying ot the t2-year- old daughter Of Perry Park CT, Los Angeles bank executive, and patiently awaited arrival of the California authorities, scheduled for late this aftern oon.
 Even the information that an Andrew Crauer' who admitted knowing him and resembling some what his description of the alleged occomplice, had been in jail in Los Angeles since August, failed to mo- mentarily shake the story of The Fox" He immediately launched in to an even more detailed recital Of Kraemer's part in the kidnapping and murder plot,
 Told Her Too Much
 Pendleton police, however, NC. ? encouraged in their belief that Kick man had murdered the girl by a slip-up the talkative Fox made yesterday while conversing with one Of his jailers Hickman said he told Marion he once had worked in her fathers bank.
 Tt Is an entirely probable theory that Hickman killed the girl be- cause he had told her too much about himself and feared detection if he returned her to her parents alive" Buck Loualle,, state motor cycle officer who aided Chief of Fo- ice Gurdane in arresting Hickman, said.
 Lierallen also disclosed that seV- cral times during tho night HicN- man had intimated he could tell "more startling things" if he wish ed. Every effort to shake his decia- ration that "Andy kraemer" and his sweetheart. June Dunning.' had murdered Marion because she began to cry, failed.

SUNDAY NIGHT
SUPPER TIPS

The housewife who has a shelf
we'll stocked with various kinds Of
canned goods need not hesitate to
ask her Sunday afternoon callers
to stay for supper. If she has
chosen wisely, she can get a de-.
iicious supper with little time and
trouble. Science has perfected such
safe methods of canning that we
need no longer fear any kind Of
canned goods, and there is an in
finite variety OF canned goods 10
be had today.
Canned chicken may be combined
with mayonnaise for sandwiches
and salads. Milk added slowly TO
mayonnaise. blending it carefully,
Will thin it down to a better con-
sistency for making salads. Choppe6
celery and hard boiled eggs added
to the chicken will not only i'm.
prove it, but make it GO farther.
Chicken may also be creamed and
served on toast, or pattie shells.
Inc same is true Of crab meat.
Crab meat and tuna combined make
good dish il creamed. placed in
baking dish, covered with grated
cheese, and heated in the oven
until the cheese is brown.
Cream sauce for any Of these
dishes will be improved by the ad.
dition of a well beaten egg added
to the sauce and allowed to cook
for q minute before the canned
food Is added. Canned haddock
done in this manner, placed in
casserole and covered with buttered
crumbs, heated in the oven until
the crumbs are brown, is delicious.

BattleShip LinOleum
Makes Good Covering

Heavy battleship linoleum makes
an excellent covering for any wooden
surface in the kitchen which re.
ceives hard wear, such as a wooden
table. low shelf. or/the wooden
working shelf of a sink or built-in
cabinet.
Make pattern of paper Of the
surface to be covered and then cut
the linoleum to this pattern. To
finish off the edges and hold the
linoleum, there is q brass edging
just for this purpose, which can be
purchased in any good hardware
store. If this brass is lacqured
with brass lacquer, it will not dis
color or require cleaning.
The linoleum should be vanished
or waxed occasionally to make it
impervious to moisture.

YOUR OWN
M|NCEMEAT

What would the holiday season
be without its fragrant, spicy and
delicious fnincs pie? The two seem
almost inseparable, and with good
cause, too, for mincemeat, rich in its
combination Of meat, fruits and
spices. is truly dish fit for the fes-
tivities Of the frosty days.
Good mineemeat is very good, but
many housewives feel somewhat
dubious about attempting to make
their own mincemeat. There il NO
reason, however, why they cannot
make mincemeat of an excellent
quality and serve their family and
guests with delicious steaming mince
pie.
Use Best Quality
To make the best Favored mince.
meat. only the best quality of in.
gredlents should be used. Purchase
q piece of clear, lean beef, weighing
about one and one-half pounds. Boil
the meat until tender and allow II Ia

meat through the food chopper.

Two cupfuls OF chopped meat will
be required. Pare. core ana chcn

8. Attend to any Of the spe.

sary. do the cleaning Of dra-

with the cleaner attachments or
the small cleaner, or use a clean

4. Now do the rugs with car

5. Next dust floors with dry

and remove dirt that clings to
it with your glOved fingers. A

on dull surface. Use il very
sparingly, then polish evenly and
very dry with a clean buster.
The surface may first need
washing. If so, wash with a.
light lukewarm soapsuds. and
polish very dry at once. White
spots need special attention. to
be discussed later.

, And keeping the house reasonably
free from dust is a comparatively
simple matter today, with our mod.
ern surface finishes and our versa
tile array Of cleaning devices-par
ticularly that truly wonderful device.
the vacuum cleaner, which ushered
in the present era Of dustless clean
ing.
This is the dav nj finished sur.
faces, varying from the dull to the
glossy finish, and the main problem
in keeping them clean and in good
condition is to remove any spots or
dust without marring or wearing
OH the finish. AS dust usually
holds small, gritty particles. it often
scratches the surface il left to col.
iect for any time.
Daily busting Of floors, furniture,
and other surfaces is a saving in
every way. 1t saves the worker
much strenuous and tiresome spe.
cial cleaning of a long-negIected
corner or surface, and the use of
what we call heroic methods" in
securing off the ground-in dust
methods which so often mar the fin.
|ish, with all the expense and trouble
of frequent refinishing.
SOft-BristIed Brushes
The cleaning outfit most useful
for the daily busting is an adequate
set of soft-bristled brushes, one or
two soft, lintless busters, a good
scrubbing cloth for washing. sur.
faces, a small cloth for. applying
liquid wax or furniture polish, and
the vacuum cleaner with attach.
nlents, or small cleaner.
A small bottle of water is con.
venient for quick attention to fin.
ger marks and other spots, and u
pair of stout cotton gloves for dry
busting, with rubber gloves when
washing a surface. will save the
hands. A basket for carrying most
of this outfit around the house is
useful and step-saving
Dustless mops and busters are i'm
pregnated with an oily mixture
which holds the dust; but because of
that it also attracts floating dust IL
any of the oil is left on The cleaned
surface. So, examine closely before
buying them, to be SIRE that they
are not so oily that they leave oily
streaks behind them. Good House
keeping Institute does not approve
such an oily dustless buster
Keep all cleaning CLOTHS, brushes
and other cleaning devices clean.
Do not use unhemmed busters, for
they soon become rags" whose
frayed edges often shed their threads,
Regularly wash, rinse, and dry all
busters and mops and reimpregnate
with the oil, that can often be bought
with the mop, or use a few drops
only of good furniture polish or
liquid wax. Sprinkle on evenly and
rob up the duster tightly to distri-
butte mixture. Any soft. lintless cloth
with hemmed edges can be made
dustless in this way.
Here's a Program for You
To summarize. let us Outline what
we have found good order of daily
busting, and. in fact, the daily care
of any room:
