1.-TWO Minute Talks"
BY
MISS AUBYN CHINN
A HOT WEATHER MEAL

At this time of the year when an
abundance of fresh fruits and vege-
tables are on the market, there is
little need to spend much time cook
ing hot foods in a hotter kitchen. AS
an example, the following dinner may
be prepared very simply and econ
omically:
Corn on the cob Cold boiled ham
Tomato and lettuce salad
Whole grain bread Butter
Red raspberries and cream
Ice box cookies
Milk or iced tea
Roasting ears" or corn-on-the-cob
are now in season and no matter how
warm the weather, few of us can re-
sist. Roasting ears remind me of the
young housewife who cooked her corn
all day long and anxfously worried
because her fork would not penetrate
the cob. Cook the corn in slightly
sailed water until the kernels are
tender. Serve with plenty of butter.
Boiled ham or any form of cold
meat is an inexpensive and satisfy
ing supplement for the corn. A let
tuce and tomato salad is easily pre-
pared and is cool and healthful in
hot weather. The berries need only
be picked over, washed and placed
in the refrigerator to chill. Ice box
cookies are delicious and are parti-
cularly attractive in hot weather as
you only need to bake them as you
need them, and the dough will keep
fresh in cold place.
Ice Box Cookies.
2 eggs
2 cups light brown sugar
"a cup butter-melted
80 cups white flour-sifted before
measuring
2 tsp. baking powder
y tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup walnut meats-chopped -
Beat the eggs we'll. Add the sugar
and melted butter and mix thorough
ly. Mix the flour, baking powder and
salt. Add this through a sitter to
the egg mixture. Then add the van
lila and walnuts. Mix thoroughly
and shape the dough into a rectangle
or cylinder. Place in refrigerator
over night or for several hours. Slice
off as needed in thin slices and bake
on a buttered pan or baking sheet
ten to twelve minutes in a hot oven.

HICKMAN-HUNT
DEFENSE READY
State NearS Close of Case
in ThomS Murder.
BIZ United Press

OU CUtttu ITtoo
LOS ANGELES, Feb. %. - With
the State nearing the close of its
case, attorneys for William Edward
Hickman and Welby Hunt today
prepared to begin their defense in
the joint trial of the two youths for
the murder of Ivy ThomS.
Hickman, already under sentence
of death for the murder of little
Marion Parker, Tuesday was named
as the slayer of Thoms, who was
killed Christmas eve, 1926, during
an attempted hold-up in which
Hickman and Hunt shot their way
to freedom.
Mrs. Ruth Thoms, widow of the
slain druggist, testified she saw
Hickman fired the shot which killed
her husband.
MY husband was standing with
his hands above his head" she tes-
titled. Both Hickman and Hunt
fired shots at him, but Hickman
was shooting when my HUSBAND:
fell"
Previous evidence had tended to
show that the bullet which killed
Thoms was of the same calibre used
by the gun which Hunt used in the
attempted hold-up.
Counsel for Hunt was expected to
attempt to prove that Hickman in
fluenced the younger Hunt to TAX
ing part in the hold-up and that
he was the master mind Of
the two.
