who now are criticizing President Hoo

Those who have flown over the Allie

Virginia can appreciate that seeking
the proverbial needle in the haystack
is a mere pastime compared with
searching for downed plane in those
hundreds Of square miles OF merclleSS
country.
Wreck Report Traced.
The sort Of luck which will be re-
CURED If the lost ship is sighted from
the air yesterday afternoon enabled
Lieut.. Louis NJ Merrick, operations
officer at Boiling Field, to track down
a report that wrecked plane had been
seen near U. S. Highway SO west OF
Keyser, w. Va. The plane, according
to the report, had red tail
With this information Lieut.. Merrick,
with the writer as observer in the rear
cockpit, took off from Boiling F1eid
shortly before noon. Weather reports
showed large areas of the mountains
still clouded, but with sufficient open
ings so that some observation was pos
Sible.
A few minutes earlier Lieut.. Merrick,
as operations officer, had sent out
big tri-motored transport pane, flown by
Lieut.. c. w. Cousland and occupied by six
observers: a singlemotored transport
and five observation planes, led by Capt.
Ira c. Eaker. They were to go to Hot
Springs Va, goal of Lieut.. Bobbltt on
his ill-fated Christmas flight from
Selfridge Field Mich, and to push the
search northward from there as far as
the weather would permit.
A thin and watery sun was shining
at Boiling Field when Lieut.. Merrick
lifted off his blue and yellow observa-
ton ship, climbed rapidly to 4,400 feet
and headed West. The skies became
bleaker and more dismal as the plane
droned on over the rolling Virginia
hills. The Blue Ridge, crossed near
Bluemont, wore a crown of misty
streamers, trailing from dull banks of
cloud.
Clouds Block Path.
Roaring on across the wide Valley OF
Virginia, Lieut.. Merrick found the way
to Cumberland, Nd, where he planned
to start his search blocked by walls of
cloud which dropped curtains of fog

APPEAL IS DENIED
IN MURDER Of FOUR
Court, However, Doubts Fair
Trial for Orphan Jones
on Eastern Shore.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, December 30
Fuel Lee. alias Orphan Jones, cannot
get a fair trial in either Dorchester
nor worcester County on the Eastern
Shore. the Court Of Appeals ruled here
yesterday.
Lee. a colored farmland, is charged
with the quadruple murder OF Green x
Davis and his wife and two daughters,
in their farmhouse at Snow Hill, on the
Eastern Shore. Numerous demonstra-
tions have been made against him in
Snow Hill, where he was first confined
in Jail
The court further ruled. however
that it has no power to order change
of venue to the Western Shore, since
it can only review cases which have
been tried in lower courts and appealed
to its Jurisdiction.
Change of Venue Sought.
Appeal on motion for change Of
venue had been taken by Bernard
AIDES, International Labor Defense
League attorney, who is representing
the colored prisoner.
AIDES also was the object Of DEM
onstration by incensed Eastern Shore
farmers from whom he took refuge in
the Snow Hill Jail when he went there
as Lees counsel.
Cambridge Md, was fixed as the
place for the trial, after the several
demonstrations in Snow Hill. Mean
while. Lee was sent to the Baltimore
City Jail for safe keeping, and still Is
a prisoner there.
Denial of Petition.
AIDES petitioned for change in venue
to a county on the Western Shore. His
petition was denied after hearing,
and he then took the appeal to the
higher court.
Yesterdays decision states:
That there is in the section Of the
State selected for the trial such preju-
dice as forbids attempting trial there,
seems to this court to be manifested by
the attacks on the jail at Snow Hill, the
conclusion of local authorities that Lee
must be taken away from both Wor-
ceSter and Dorchester Counties for safe
keeping while awaiting trial and that
he must be brought to trial with
guard of troops"
The court further intimated that II
change OF venue is not granted and
appeal is taken after conviction, new
trial may be ordered.

 There are three distinct and equally successful ways of thicken- ing the creamed dish--using bread crumbs, making substantial white sauce, using concentrated evapo- rated milk which is especially adapted to certain foods such. as spinach.
 If you are serving creamed vegetable or fish that produces m insipid and colorless product de- spite it's high degree of delicacy and nutritive value, you can add a jot of color. A feck of paprika or a sprig of parsley gives touch of color to the otherwise unappe- tizing creamed dish as far as the eye appeal governs.
 Here are several recipes for creaming vegetables and fish that have excellent food value because of the quantity of evaporated milk used in the cream sauce.

There seems to be an affinity between cider and doughnuts, for each year there is a heavy run on dough- nuts during the cider season. Tn New England a visitor would be offended if cider were served in the fall without ldoughnuts. It just isn't done by the Yankees. And like many other old New England customs, the practice of slipping cider between bites of doughnuts has spread to other sections of the country.
 American bakers regard the humble doughnut as the master piece of their culinary art, for not withstanding it's simplicity, its tastiness, its national popularity is surpassed by no other bakery prod uct. And the modern doughnut Is far cousin of that which tickled the. palates of our ancestors, for now special strains of wheat have been developed which bring greater zest to the doughnut. Much of the delight of eating a doughnut re- suits from proper texture, and this has been the subject of much study by the baking industry. If the

Many famous chef in our lead ing hotels and restaurants has built his reputation largely upon his sauces. A delicious sauce is often the one thing that is needed to lift the dish out of the "just-so- so" class, and give it supreme ap- petite appeal: In the case of many meats-and vegetables, too - the sauce is the crowning touch that brands the preparer an expert in the culinary line. &}'
 So far as meats are concerned, the housewife is sometimes incli;i- ed to depend too much upon the familiar brown and white sauces. The sweet sauces, a large class, she frequently neglects almost en- tirely. This is her loss and her family's, and it is one that is we'll worth remedying for the sweet touch contrasts 'deliciously with the heavier flavor of the meat, add ing greatly to the appetite appeal of the dish as whole.
