it was unconstitutional and citing Chief

authority. The Federal Government
cannot give away Federal property, he
said.
Arguments Advanced.
Hugh McGrath and Thomas r. Mech
EN- advanced the arguments in favor
of leaving the county as it is, citing the
fact that the citizens of Arlington
County have the right of franchise and
use it to obtain any changes desired.
1t seemed to be the general consensus
Of the members of the association that
Arlington County is not such bad
place in which to live and that Hlev
have no desire to lose their right of
franchise for the privilege of living In
the District of Columbia. Many said
that they had moved to the county from
the District and saw no reason for re-
turning.

Let's Keep Cool This Summer
Warm days are here! The fan,
the soda fountain, and the ham,
mock will be due for their share of
popularity, except from those for
tunate people who do not seem to
lose their energy during the sum-
mer-time and are not affected by
the heat.
To avoid that "tired feeling"
which often comes with the hot
weather, supply your body daily
with the foods which give the need
ed energy, vitamins and material
for repair. A popular way if in
Guiding mineral and vitamin essen
tails in the diet is to serve cold
drinks that cool one off and at the
same time, furnish food value.
Combine such health-giving foods
as milk, eggs, and fruit juices, and
serve them as part of the regular
summer meals.
Fruit Drinks with Milk
Use to 3 tablespoons of fruit
syrup with 81 cup of cold milk.
Measure desired amount of syrup,
add milk, beat or whip thoroughly.
Quantities of asyrup may be pre-
pared at one time and kept on ice
to be used as needed. The follow
ing syrups are made in quantity for
about fifty servings. To make, COM
bine the juice with sugar and boil
for five minutes.
Grape SYRUP quart grape juice
and 2 cups sugar.
Strawberry SYRUP pound fruit
and 1 " cups sugar.
Loganberry SYRUP pound fruit
and ~ cups sugar.
For orange and lemon syrup, use
1 quart of juice and pulp, 1 " to 2
pounds of sugar, as desired. Stir
until dissolved. Do not heat.
Egg Drinks
Fruit juices may be used in COM
bination with both eggs and milk
to make other nutritious drinks.
To serve about six people use:-
" cup fruit syrup.
1h pints milk.
4 eggs.
Combine the syrup, milk and
eggs and beat thoroughly.
