she seized a bottle and struck him
over the head. He never spoke
again, Miss Brandenburg said.

at him twice, but missed each
time. She said:
"He hit me on the Jaw. It
hurt SO bad that / could not eat
the next day. This was the Sec
Ond fight we had, the first be-
ing in January. He was jealous
Of me. This night he chOked
me-"
The blonde defendant clutched
the arms of the witness chair un-
til her knuckles showed white.

BrOddaUay Success

With Beatrice Edmonds of San
Diego in an interpretative review
of the current Broadway success,
Rose Franken's "Another Lam
guage", and with Miss Josephine
Williams, also of San Diego, in a
group of violin solos, Ten Thousand
club members are TO enjoy an ex-
ceptionally fine program at their
meeting Thursday, February 16.
Miss EdmondS was presented last
year by the clubs program COM
mittee and captivated her audience
by her brilliant and clever review
of Rachel Crothers' delightful
comedy, LAS Husbands Co.
The play that she is to review
this week is another Broadway
success and the San Diego Sun
says of Miss Edmonds' presentation
of this play of family life: "Bea-
trice EdmondS . 3D.. was heard in
particularly fine Interpretation of
Rose Franken's comedy of family
life, Another Language. AS pre-
Sented by Miss Edmonds, the Hal

dreadfully real. Anyone who
has ever been married would ap-
preciate the terrible Tuesday eve

sitive and sympathetic was Miss
Edmonds' Interpretation of Stella,
the daughter-in-law who speaks
another language. Miss Edmonds
native delicacy of feeling fitted her
especially well for the portrayal of
Stella.

FORMAY USED
BY COOKING
SCHOOL HEAD

Cookery, for the modern house,
wife, is not the drudgery that 1T
used to be for her mother. BY
using the products of the Gamers,
the packers and others who offer
delicacies for the table, she es-
capes the tedious processes of food
preparation, feeds her family we'll
balanced meals and sits down to
dinner without being too tired to
enjoy it.
Whipping and beating, which
used to consume a lot of time ana
energy, have been reduced to O
minimum, as will be demonstrated
by Miss Margaret Coates at the
SafeWay Stores Cooking School, op-
ening tomorrow under the auspices
of the Safeway Stores, Inc, Home
makers Bureau. This boon t.
housewives has been accomplished
by recent improvements in Short
ening which make it possible to
save much of the effort formerly
required to mix flour or sugar into
shortening, and thus materially

the local sessions of the cooking
school, Miss Coates will use For
may, the recently perfected blend
ed shortening made by Swift &
Company.
Because they have found it to
be fast creaming, pure, tasteless
and odorless, many famous cooks
such as Prudence Penny, Mildred
Kitchen and Maude D. Evans, and
chefs at leading hotels, including
Meyer of the Mark Hopkins, Gre
carlo of Victor Hugo's and Ehlers
Of the Roosevelt, are recommend
ing this new product.
To be entirely satisfactory, Miss
Coates points out, a shortening
must stand high deep-frying tenn
peratures without smoking, make
fluffy, light cakes and flaky,
crunchy pie crusts, and keep in
definitely without refrigeration.
