Lean in connection with nego-
tiations for the return of the
kidnapped, son of Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh was upheld to-
day by the District Court OF
Appeals.
Means is serving a 15-year
sentence as the result OF his con-
viction.
Counsel for Means contended
the District Supreme Court erred
in refusing to require the Gov:
ernment to elect whether it would.
proceed under larceny or en-
bezzlement counts under the in.
dictment before the case went
to the jury. The appellate court
held that this contention was
not sound. citing as authorities
sections of the District Code and
adjudicated cases.
The Court Of Appeals was also
urged to reverse the trial court
for failing to direct a verdict
upon two counts in the indict-
ment on the ground that a rela.
tionship of principal and agent
existed between Mrs. Mclean and
Means.
The Court Of Appeals stated
this position was not sound be

ton that he will perform a GER

In Opening Address Urges

(Pisture on Page 15)

Launching a vigorous at
tack On Communism and de-
manding legislation against
those who advocate the over
throwing of our Government,
Mrs. Russell William Magma,
president general of the Ma,
tional Society Of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolu-
tion, formally opened the
forty-second Continental Con-
gress of that organization in
Constitution Hall today.
Mrs. Magma reiterated the
need for America to keep up
it's program of military pre-
parednes and announced she ts
confident that this Continental
Congress will again take action
on the nonrecognition of Soviet
Russia.
The following resolution was
adopted by the Daughters, re-
iterating their stand against
recognition of Russia:
"Whereas the Union Of So
cialistic Soviet Republic exists
as on inseparable part Of the
Third International, which has
for its purpose the overthrow Of
all existing non COmmunistlc
governments by violent revOlu"
ton, now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the forty.

the recognition of the present
dictatorship of Soviet Russia by
the Government of the United
States, and be it
'Further resolved, That copies
of this resolution be sent to the
President of the United States,
the Vice President of the
United States, the Speaker OF
the House of Representatives,
and the Secretary of State"
Renewing the attack on Russia,
Mrs. Magma said:

avowed purpose the destruc-
ton of our system Of govern

Baked and Frozen Custards
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

Five eggs to quart Of milk would
be the accepted number. Four large
eggs can be used, with very slow cook
ing. AS many as IL eggs to q quart
of milk have been used, but this Is not
only very extravgant, but the custard
Is too heavy. 1t should be delicate and
too many eggs change the texture,
toughening 1t. The fewer the eggs the
daintier the texture, but there must be
enough to bind the mixture, just enough
to take care of the liquid.
Plain Baked Custard.-5 eggs, !. quart
milk, "a teaspoonful salt, Il cupful
sugar, teaSpOonful vanilla.
Scald the milk and pour over the eggs
slightly beaten and having the salt and
sugar mixed we'll with them Add the
vanilla. Stir all well together. Pour
into a baking dish which has been
rinSed out with cold water. Stand dish
n pan of lukewarm water in the oven
Bake from to IA hours; Test by
running the blade of silver knife down
out clear, the custard is done. When
cool put on ice and chill well. Serve.
Frozen Custard-Use above ingredi-
ents increasing amount of sugar to "a
cupsful. Use powdered sugar. Include
Il pit. heavy cream, or more If preferred,
up to l pit. Scald milk, add salt and
the slightly beaten egg yolks. Cook in
double boiler until the spoon is coated.
Remove and let cool. Beat whites of
eggs stiff. Beat cream, gradually add
ing the powdered sugar. When very
stiff fold in egg whites. Add vanilla,
and mix with the cold custard. Freeze
in ice cream freezer, or in iceless re-
frigerator. If the latter, stir we'll when
mixture begins to set, and several times
after, at intervals.

are American.

Fruit juices, such as those from

Offer all new fruits in teaspoonful

or two hours before lunch, and the
evening meal.

keeper in planning the daily menu.
The great mistake made by most
mothers is to add too many new foods
to the baby's diet and add them too
hastily. While new foods are being
tried out, the amounts should be ex-
ceedingly limited. Try one or two tea
spoonfuls Of new fruit or vegetable,
continuing this small amount for several
days until the mother is assured that
baby will not react distressingly to q
larger amount. Some fruits produce
hives In sensitive children. Vegetables
have little or no effect. Any laxative
effect is made less evident by careful
sieving.
Children are better OF If they learn
early In life to accept new foods graci-
ously. Only when their diet is string
emily limited do they become flnicky
about new foods and refuse to have
anything to do with them If some
new food is obviously distasteful to the
child, wait awhile before Offering it
again. We do not make foods atttrac-
tive to a child by forcing them upon
him.
