No Debate Will
Be Considered,
Chairman Says

To The Herald:
The ingenious attempt of DR.. Hall
lam to inveigle democratic speakers
into debate is an old political trick Of
minority leaders to draw crowds TO
hear their speakers.
IL might not be bad did such min
ority speakers discuss the real issues,
for example; a defense Of the re-
publican or Hamiltonian conception
Of the state as being run for the
benefit Of a privileged few, Of which
school Mr.. Andrew Mellon is now the
principal spokesman, as against the
Jeffersonian or democratic concept
OF a state as being run for the ben
eft Of all. Of which Governor Smith
is the greatest modern spokesman; or
a defense Of the republican record
Of the last seven and a half years
with it's Dohenys. Sinclairs, Steven
sons, Forbes, Smiths OF Illinois,
Wares, Will Hayses. Big Bill Thomp-
sons, Millers and Falls. upon which
MIR. Hoover looks back with so much
satisfaction; or
The principal enunciated in the re-
publican platform Of 1928 Of taking
the election laws out Of the hands Of
the states and into federal control
SO as to give the negro a balance Of
power in the southern states; or
The principle also enunciated in
the republican platform Of this year,
that counties in which lynchings oc-
cur should be subject to suits in
the federal courts with immense pen
alties attaching for the benefit Of
the relatives Of lynched p%ersons; or
The republican remedy for the
farmer Of building a higher tariff
wall as enunciated by Mr.. Hoover, in
stead Of controlling the exportable
SURPRISES Of the major crops, as con-
tended by Governor Smith; Dr.
The practical proposition Of wheth-
er the enforcement Of the Eighteenth
amendment and laws passed in &C
cordance with 10 is more important
than the utterance Of an abstract
principle or belief that a candidate
believes in q noble experiment; or
Whether the machinery Of govern
ment such as that Of the secretary Of
agriculture should be permitted to
be manipulated so as to aid specula-
tors, and cost the southern cotton
planters two billion dollars. as has
been the Ease in the last five years
under Secretary Jardine's manipula-
ton Of reports and dogmatic asser-
tions about what prices ought TO be.
another achievement OF the repub-
lican party upon which Mr.. Hoover
looks back with satisfaction;
However, experience has taught US
we can expect nothing Of the sort,
but that we will only hear a re-
publican. who is ashamed Of il and
masquerading under the name Of
Hoover democrat, traduce and vilify
Governor Smith openly or covertly
on account Of his religion, and actu-
ally on account or his honesty, and
because he happened TO be born in
the crowded tenements Of East Side,
New York, instead Of in a log cabin.

Here is the recipe for a real Eng
fish plum pudding: Remove the men,
brane from one pound Of suet. Chop
the suit and cream IL, adding one
pound Of brown sugar, then three
cups of fine. bread crumbs soaked In
one cup of milk, two teaspoons of
salt, one teaspoon of all-spice, two
teaspoons of nutmeg, onehalf tea
spoon of soda and one dozen eggs
well beaten. Dredge one pound of
raisins, one pound of Sultana raisins,
one pound of currants and one-half
pound in all of candied lemon and
orange peel, also citron, cut fine and
mixed with one and one-half cups of
flour. Fold into the first mixture.
One pound of chopped apple may also
be added. Flavor with one-half cup
of grape or orange juice or of jelly.
Boil or steam the pudding. IL
boiled, less milk is required.
To boil, grease piece Of strong
muslin well and rub It with flour.
Place the mixture in the center with
piece of CREASED paper over the top.
Tie up leaving room for expansion.
The water should boil continuously
for six hours. To keep under water,
tie a weight to the top of the bag.
To steam, put creased paper in the
bottom and grease the sides well of
one-pound coffee or baking powder
tins or of other molds and steam for
six hours.
A pressure cooker will shorten the
time considerably.
The whole recipe makes four one
pound molds. If only one-fourth the
recipe is made, cook for three hours.

IL is none too early TO start the
Christmas fruit cake and plum pud-
ding Both take considerable time
to prepare, and so it is easier to get
them out of the way before the holi-
day rush sets in. Moreover, both are
much better for standing. Done up
first in thin oiled paper, then in red
cellophane paper and tied with
Christmas ribbons and holly, they
make Christmas gifts to be coveted.
The first recipe is for fruit cake
de luxe, as it might be called, since
II is almost solid with fruit. The
cake is expensive but extra fine. The
recipe follows:
Fruit Cake de Luxe
Chop six pounds of seeded raisins,
clean six pounds of currants, cut two
pounds OF citron into very thin slices,
also two pounds each of candied pine
apple and candied apricots and two
pounds of candied cherries into
halves.
Cream one pound of fat, add grad
ually one pound of brown sugar and
continue. Dreaming until the mixture
looks Satfny Add one pound of eggs,
well beaten, and one-half pound of
flour mixed and sifted with two tea
spoons. of baking powder, two tea

Beauty Answers

F. b.. For warts on the hands the
following lotion may be used: One
dram of salicylic acid, one ounce of
flexible eolodion. Mix well. Apply
with a tiny camel's hair brush for
four nights. Then soak in hot water
and take away part of the horny
covering. Continue until the wart
has disappeared.
4. NJ: Too much cannot be said
in favor of swimming. There is the
exhilarating contact with air and
water, the healthy strain on the mus
eles, the correct position Of the body,
the stimulation TO heart and blood
vessls-which make it most health
full exercise.
L. D.: Here is an excellent lotion
for perspiring hands: Borie acid,
two drains; borax, three drains;
salicylic, three drains; glycerin and
bay rum, of each three ounces. APP
ply to the hands three times day.
S. o. S.: Equal parts of glycerin
and lemon juice may be used on sum-
mer freckles. If your skin is too
tender to stand glycerin, rub fresh
slice of lemon over the face, letting
the juice dry on and remain for
time.
G. NJ. c.: Here is tonic for the
eyebrows and lashes: Yellow vase
line, two ounces; oil of lavender, l5
drops; oil of rosemary, 10 drops.
Mix thoroughly. After the nightly
cleansing apply this tonic with
tiny eyebrow brush.
GENEVIEVE c.: Oily skin il
often associated with digestive dis
turbances. Eliminate rich and
greasy foods, sugars and starches
from your menu. A wholesome diet
is the first step in remedying the
conditions, with particular attention
to foods that relieve constipation.
o. T.: Because the hands are cx-
posed to so much hard usage, con-
slant care is required to keep them
in good condition. Never wash The
hands unless you do it thoroughly,
as half-hearted washing is ruinous
to the texture of the skin. After
washing apply equal parts of cam
phor and glycerine, to keep them
smooth and white.

WOMEN'S PAGE
Wen-Dressed Woman Of Today
Builds Costume From Inside Out

Clothes used to cover up multi.
tude of sins. Now, alas, they reveal
them.
And the first thing that the clever
saleswoman does who is showing
French models to Madame whose fig
ure Is not what il used to be is to
suggest, as so tactfully. visit to the
corset department. There the new
foundation garments are working mi
racles in the way of eliminating UNI
necessary ounces and stressing al
most imaginary curves.
The athletic no-corset era which
followed the war did queer things to
many of our figures. Waistlines dis
appeared. There were no curves in
the female form, which seemed to
have been designed with a ruler. IL
one were blessed with naturally
good figure, one did everything pos
sible to disguise the fact, that one
might fit into the little straight-up-
and-down models which were the
thing for every hour of the day and
night.
Everything is different now. They
do whisper that the great couturieres
grew tired of the sameness of these
simple little postwar frocks, which
were so easily copied that it was
hardly worth while designing them.
Or, what is even more probable, the
little group of really smart women
who determine the mode both in this
country and abroad, became bored
with looking just alike, and decided
to be individual-in other words, to

and customer alike.
The New French Models
Make Corsets a Necessity
But alas, when those graceful new
tricky little French models began to
appear,a showing the natural waist
line, revealing the lovely curve of the
bust, tightly,moulding the hips--how
few of us could wear them.
The effect of these masterpieces
of femininity upon the straightline
figure would have been laughable had
it not been so pathetic.
The manufacturer of foundation
garments, fortunately, was quick
to see the handwriting on the wall.
The demand for his wares was ur-
gent. The corset had returned, but
in new and fascinating guise.
No longer could his clients be in
duced to lace, TO be prodded with
stiff bones, to be encased in coat
of mail Of the stiffest fabrics the
market could afford.
No, she had learned to value that
freedom and ease of movement which
were hers when the corset was re-
duced to a minimum. SO the corset
maker summoned black magic, and
made a garment which is as soft and
supple as glove silk, practically bone
less, a pleasure to wear, and guar
anteed to produce perfect and APP
parently natural figure.
