Propaganda Scheme
 Charged To Germany
Petit Parisen, Influential French Journal, Publishes
 Document in Face of Vehment Denals

Of the Versailles treaty was to be one of the propagandists' goals.
 Referring specifically to Ameri- can news-gathering agencies, the alleged document said that lin many places the employees of the United ress have been disposed re- gently to correct 'colored' anti German news."
 "The collaboration of the United Press with certain German news agencies offers the uncertainty that the news report of this agency is acceptable-at least that portion coming directly from Germany. This does not mean that in our eff forts to gain ground in America we should favor the United Press"
 The foreign editor of the Petit Parisien, Albert Julien, prefaced publication of the document with the comment that France should be prudent in future negotiations with Germany" and added that doubtless Goebbels or Wilhelm strasse will deny authorship of the document, but we are able formally to guarantee it's authenticity"
 Berlin, Nov 17-(UP)-German government officials categorically and officially denied the authenti- city of alleged instructions for propagandizing America, published in the Petit Parisien today, and de- clared them "pure invention"
 "These alleged instructions" the official denial said, "so patently bear the stamp of pure imagination that a denial-which is, however. made herewith-appears hardly necessary for any critical reader.

state bringing up the rear.
 The state of Connecticut still leads the nation in home loan progress, the state offices function ing with extreme efficiency. Feder- al machinery in the state is run ming very smoothly, with all local offices reporting increasing num- bers of loan applications.
 Manager John Burns was sched uled to be present at meeting of state Home Loan officials in New Haven this afternoon Directors of the local offices will discuss plans for further speeding up the granting of loans.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-11-17

The Petit Parisien manifestly had so little faith in its own sensational story that it appeared necessary to prepare it's readers for an unequiv- ocal denial. It is to be deeply re- gretted, especially in view of the developments of the past few days (renewal of the disarmament dis cussions) that a French newspaper of such wide circulation should lend itself to this muddying of the water"
 The "collaboration" of the Unit ed Press with an independent Ger man news gathering organization has been limited to the customary commercial association in which the United Press is client of the German concern.the Telegraphen Union. The United Press has, of course, its own, independent bu- reaus, correspondents and supple mentary news gathering sources.

Sister Ma,.yS
 Kitchen
BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Stan Writer


 There are many excellent brands of salt codfish on the market and they offer economical ways and means to vary the winter menu.
 A supper of cream of tomato soup, toasted bread sticks, codfish souffle, brown bread and butter, shredded cabbage with sour cream dressing, and Cumberland pudding with liquid sauce is nourishing, well balanced4 inviting and econom- ical meal.
 Creamed codfish is another good, old fashioned dish. Served with plain potatoes, mashed buttered beets, apple and celery and nut salad and an apricot whip, this makes an appetizing and satisfac- tory dinner that is inexpensive but rich in food value.
 If hearty breakfasts are not wanted, codflsh balls can be served at luncheon or dinner. A creamel vegetable of cream soup should be included in the menu to insure the proper amount of milk in the diet.
 Following are simple rules for codfish balls and codfish souffle:
 Goldfish Balls
 Two cups sliced raw potatoes, l cup shredded codfish, tablespoon butter, l egg. 1-4 teaspoon pap rika.
 Freshen fish in lukewarm water for two hours, changing water three times. Put fish and potatoes into sauce pan with boiling water to cover. Cover pan and cook until potatoes are tender. Drain and shake over the fire to permit mix ture to become quite dry. Mash thoroughly and add butter, paprika and beaten egg. Beat until the mixture is very light. Drop from spoon into deep hot fat. The balls should brown in two minutes. Drain on brown paper and serve at once.
 Goldfish SOuffle
 One cup shredded cooked codfish, 2 cups mashed potatoes, 1 cup milk, 3 tablesoons butter, 1-4 tea spoon pepper.
 After freshening fish, pick very fine with Q fork or cut with scis- sors. simmer just below the boiling point for 30 minutes. Drain. Add fish, butter, milk and pepper to hot mashed potatoes and beat well: Add yolks of eggs beaten until thick and lemon colored and cook and stir over fire until thick. Fold in whites ,of eggs beaten until stiff and dry and turn into a well but tered baking dish. Bake 30 minutes in a moderate oven. When firm to touch, the souffle is done. Serve ct once from baking dish.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.

Last night after supper the Johnson children made their New Year resolutions. During supper they had hilarious time suggest ing suitable resolutions for each other, such as that Mary should curtsey every time she spoke to Claire, and that Mrs Johnson should make pancakes for break fast every day, and that Bill should whistle less and wash more when he shuts himself up in the bath room for what seems hours on end!
 But after supper they all took paper and pencil and really got down to business. They decided beforehand to write down as many resolutions as they could think of, and then to choose one or two which they could honestly promise to try to keep through 1884. Mrs Johnson proposed 8 twenty minute time limit-after which there would be popcorn to help strength en their resolution:
 It was amusing to watch how each child went to work. Bill wrote three words, folded his paper, and announced that he had finished. Whereupon he opened a book which he had received for Christi mas and settled down to read. Mary evidently had a hard time to get started. She would write a few words, wrinkle her forehead, cross out what she had written and be- gin again. Claire, on the other hand, wrote steadily and was still going strong when Mrs Johnson went to get the corn pepper from the kitchen. Robert, of course, couldn't really write his resolu- tions, but he seated himself beside Claire and solemly began making rows of As, B's and other letters that he knows. Baby John was in bed, but as Claire said, that didn't matter because he was too little to be good!
 Pretty soon MT Johnson an- nounced that time was up. Mrs Johnson, who was already putting the first batch of corn into the pepper, added that only those who wanted to need tell their resolu- tions. But the Johnson children rarely suffer from selfconsciousness so they were all quite willing to tell.
 w Hut yOuESs Dlll dSkeu Claire, hopping up and down ex- citedly and waving her own paper in the air. Bill looked up from his book, cooked his eye at his mother and replied, Put clothes away Mrs Johnson smiled at him. She and Bill get along famously, but one bone of contention between them is the fact that Bill will leave his clothes strewn all over his room instead Of hanging them up. Mary informed us that she had resolved to sit up straight, both at school and at home. I was glad to hear it, for she does tend tc droop and we don't want her de. veloping a round back or a pokine chin. Claire said she had whole string of good resolutions to choose from and couldn't she make more than one, please? But Mrs John son again advised her to choose one and stick to it, so she decided on eating everything on her plate without .grumbling. We'll, that will be a good one for Claire, since she is inclined to fuss over her food, and her mother has>to check her quite often.
