Custards are always nutritious
and. as q rule. quickly made, They
should be included in our menus
much more often than they are, as
they provide an excellent means Of
getting eggs and milk into the diet.
For this reason never consider the
,.ustard dessert as an accessory to
the meal but rather as a real part
Of II.
There are two types Of custard
mixtures--soft custards. which we
prefer 10 call ''custard sauces" be-
cause their consistency is that Of
4 velvety-smooth saucey and baked
custaris.
10 make smooth custard sauce
beat together two eggs and the
yoIlks Of two more, saving the two
whites for meringue, or for the
folding in when the custard is done.
Add one-third of cupful OF granu-
eated sugar and one-eighth of a
kcaspOonful Of salt. Beat just
enough to blend the eggs and sugar.
Gradually add three cupfuls of milk,
(which have been scalded In a double
boiler, stirring all the while.
Return to the double-boiler and
book for about five minutes. stirring
constantly until the mixture thickens
sufficiently to coat the spoon. but
no longer, or the custard will
quickly curdIe Pour out at once
into a bowl to stop further cooking.
Do not allow the water in the
double boiler to boil during the
cooking, as the custard is mucl
smoother II cooked slowly, and is
much less likely TO curdle.
However, ii it should ctirdle re-
move 1t from the fire Immediately.

they will unmould with ease and
pour in the eustard, filling the cups
to within quarter Of an inch Of the
top. II desired, the tops may be
sprinkled with nutmeg or cocoanut.
Place the cups carefully in shallow
pm containing about half an inch
Of warm water as protection
against the custards reaching the
boiling temperature.
Egg and milk mixtures require a
low baking temperature to prevent
curdling, so bake the custards slowly
at 325 degrees f. about 40 minutes
for individual eustards. To find out
whether the custard is done. dip a
silver knife in water and insert it in
the center Of the custard II the
knife comes out clean, the custard

BODY CALLED STATUE
 TO PREVENT MUTINY
Ships Ondccrs Deceive SuperstitiOus Crew Of Malays and Lascars,
 Who Fear the Dead.

Boston, Feb. 22 RNThe age-old aversion of Malay and Lascar sail- ors to travelling with the dead caused Captain George Naylor of the British steamer City of Shanghai to resort to 8 novel subterfuge in transporting the body of Canadian from Egypt to Halifax. N. S.. 1t was learned yesterday when the vessel arrived here from Calcutta, Colom- bo and Port Sudan.
 T. B. Greening, prominent Ca- madam manufacturer, who died re. gently in Egypt. had previously ex- pressed a wish that his remains be sent to Hamilton. Ont, for burial.
 Desirous of complying with Greening's wishes but fearing that trouble would ensue from the ma. tives of Indian nationality in the ships crew if they knew the body was aboard, Captain Naylor let 1t be known that a statue" was to be taken aboard. Believing the box.en. cased body of Greening was the statue. the crew put 1t aboard with out suspicion. Again at Halifax. they assisted in removing it from the ship.
 The ships officers were much re- lieNed when the body was unloaded at Halifax. for they had been con- stantly on the alert for an outbreak if the nature of the statue" was learned.

|LINDY'S AIR POST
 IS ADVISORY JOB
Chief Duty Will Be to Make
 Ether Safe for All Concerned

Washington. Feb. 22 (UP)-col. Charles A. Lindbergh. who has flown safely from New York to Paris and on many other hazardous flights. has joined hands with the government to make the air safe for aviators and the ground safe for pedestrians.
 After Secretary of Commerce Whiting had announced Lindbergh had been named technical adviser to the aeronautical branch of the commerce department, it was learn ed the flying colonel would pay particular attention to regulating planes and pilots.
 Stunting and flying low over cities already are forbidden by the depart ment in the interest of safety, and it was believed Lindbergh would offer from time to time suggestions on more stringent regulations &C., cumulated from his various flights.
 The department explained Lind bergh's connection with the govern ment would not interfere with his other duties. He will be called in for advice on air problems whenever needed and will receive the same compensation as other technical ad- visers estimated at approximately $25 day.
 Nothing New to Him
 Serving in an advisory post will be nothing new to Lindbergh. He holds similar assignments with the Daniel Guggenheim fund for pro- motion of aeronautics. the Pan American Airways and with the Trancontinental Air Transport. He is now making 8 survey flight for the latter concern.
 In addition to regulations. the government will seek his advice on airways extension dealing with equipment, construction of new bea- cons and other similar projects: air. port construction: airway mapping; accident prevention and aeronautical

JAPANESE MOBILES

G'mbassy to Britain Has Stan Of
 Blue BlOOdS

Tokyo. Feb. 2c N>-Under Ambas- ador Tsuneo Matsudaira, who will assume his new post there in Febru- ary. the embassy in London will have what is believed to be the bluest-blooded staff ever sent abroad by Japan.
 This future is arousing interest in the press here in connection with recent discussion of closer Anglo-Japanese cooperation in the far east and renewed evidences of the close friendship between the British and Japaness ruling fam lilies.
 During the illness of King George tho Japanese emperor has made frequent solicitous inquiries as to his progress, while it is remem. bered that if nothing untowArd in- tervenes, such as the kings death, it ts planned for the Duke Of Glou. cester. tho kings third son, to make . visit of state to Japan in the spring to invest Emperor HI. rohito with the order of the Garter.
 
 Ambassador Matsudaira, until last summer Japanese ambasaador to Washington. himself belongs to ono of the noblest families in Japan. His father was tho first Niscount Matsudaira, daimyo, or feudal lord. of the Clan of Aizu, at 1 the time of the abolition of the feudal system half a century ago. The lords of this clan were descend. ed directly from the second Of the l Tokugawa shoguns. the military chieftains who actually ruled l Japan from 1900 to 1863.
 Mir. Matsudaira's present chief claim to high connection. however, is as father-in-law of Prince Chi- chibu, heir presumptive to the !! throne. Should Emperor Hirohito die without son to succeed him, Ambassador Matsudaira would be- come the father of an empress, his 19-year-old daughter. Setsuko, now Princess Chichibu.

SPEED AUTO BUILT
 ID RUN ONE HOUR
Major SeSraVe's "Golden ArroV''
 Costs $i,2N Per Minute

London, Feb. % R)-Maj. O. D. H Segrave's S75.000 racing car in which he hopes to wrest from the United States the worlds land speed record is the gift of a millionaire.
 About IS months ago MT. Oliver J. $. Piper. noted British sports man, and chairman of the board of directors of the Red Triangle group of cement companies, walked un- expectedly into Major Segrave's of flee.
 "l hear you want to get the rec ord back" he said. Well, go ahead and get a car built. Tell the designer that he can spend what he likes and that he is to spare no money in making the car as safe as is humanly possible"
 The Golden Arrow' will be run for only about an hour. including trials and the great race itself twice over Daytona's sandy track. The distance it will cover in that time, allowing for starting and stopping. is estimated at approxi- mately l50 miles The cost Of the run works out. therefore. at about s1.250 per minute.
 Experts here declare the car to be one of the most extraordinary feats of modern motor engineer ing. Almost every component part has been chiseled from solid chunks of British steel, eveh to such minute parts as nuts and bolts. Specially constructed ma chimes have turned out every bit of metal in its makeup with the care and delicate workmanship &C., corded . work of art.
 The car was designed to yield a maximum speed of 2So miles per hour. but as safety measure 1t has been curbed to do only e40 miles per hour. The cockpit. which just fits Major Segrave's slim body, is encascd in armor plating. It is thought impossible for the car to overturn. owing to its low center of gravity. but should such an &C., cident occur the armor plate is ex- pected to take the shock. Major Segrave will be strapped in his seat.
 The car is shaped like . bullet and steered like one. Every ex- posed part is streamlined. includ- ing such small items as the steer. ing-rod joints.
 It will receive . finishing coat of gold paint, 50 that its name Golden Arrow" will be graphical. ly symbolized when it is in action.
