ferred Germany was converting

lake" as a base from which to at
tack the Soviet Union.

Arthur w. Hewitt. residing In

Roy Hoover, jr., Thurmont, Md,
writes Of his approval Of "G-Men

vealS to readers the difference
between one fingerprint and an

! Often a participant will feel GER
tain that a print is identical with,

the whorl type, he has not dis
covered the minute difference in
the angle, or the count Of ridges
from the center. Many times the
print claimed was submitted by
another participant, for which
there is no duplicate in the world.
Needless to add that while
reasonable criminal identity may
be established by the print of one
finger. the prints of all fingers
clearly made, as used by G-Men

means of Identification yet de-

to $4.44, the promotion being
based on the average number of
cards punched or verified for the

The piecework angle, identical
with that used in factories, Is

back in production his or her
salary slumps also.
Employees declare that the sys-

AS we enter this momentous year of
nineteen hundred thirty five and six,
we find in our midst the annual crop
of new freshmen students. AS it is the
practice of previous years, and also in
the bylaws of the constitution that
there be freshman initiation, we shall
proceed to introduce them into the
student body by these means.
The purpose of initiation is to re-
duce the superiority complex of those
said freshmen and to impress upon
their fresh minds that there are upper
classmen who have had more expert
ence than they and it is necessary for
them to follow all rules which are set
before them. If they do not they will
soon find that they will have to take
the consequences from those same up
perclassmen This coming week will
tell the tale +. whether they will or
will not follow rules. =.

FOOTBALL TURNOUT

Football season got underway last
week with the entire Physical Educa
ton class of boys turning out Moth
ing much was accomplished, with the
exception of few muscles being linn
bered up a bit, and getting back the
feel of the pigskin once again.
Practice will begin in earnest this
week, and by next week our team will
begin to definitely take shape. Although
several of the regular players were
lost in the graduating class of last
year, we hope to fill their places by
some husky underclassmen. We should
have a very successful year and keep
up the good record Of last year by not
being scored against in all of our
games.
Our schedule will be worked up in
week or so, as Coach Manousos just
sent out several letters to other schools,
including Pasco and Kennewick, ask
ing for games.

Surprises, of course, are adored by
children and the food in lunch box
is no exception. Baked custard with
bit of jam in the center of the little
casserole looks most inviting with its
bright bit of contrasting color. Part
of the custard mixture prepared for
the family dinner may be baked in in
dividual ramekins and stored in the
refrigerator until needed
Cake batter baked in muffin tins
and spread with butter frosting are
much easier to pack In lunch box
than slices of q large cake and are far
more popular with children. When egg
whites have been used in baking an
angel food cake, the yolks may be COM
bined with milk for custard.
Baked Custard
eggs or 4 egg yolks
cups scalded milk
n cup sugar
Il teaspoon salt
" teaspoon vanilla
Beat eggs slightly, add sugar and
salt. Slowly stir in the scalded milk.
Add havoring. Pour mixture in but
tered molds or ramekins, set in pan
of hot water and bake 40 minutes in
325 degree oven. When custard Is
set, remove from oven and drop tea
spoon of jam or jelly in center of each
cup.
Because of the variety that can be
brought to plain white cake in the
manner of filings and frostings, it is
probably one of the recipes best suited
for both family meals and school
lunches.
Double-Duty Cake
cup butter
cups cake flour
eggs,
cups sugar
teaspoons baking powder
cup milk
teaspoon havoring
| Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs
one at time and beat thoroughly
after each addition. Mix and sift to-
gether flour and baking powder Add
alternately with the milk. Stir in fla
voring. This batter may be baked III
a loaf or layer tin or in muffin tins.
The loaf cake requires 40 minutes
baking at $50 degrees, the layer and
muffin versions Is minutes at the same
! temperature. If variety is desired in
one baking, the batter may be divided
in half and / II squares of melted choc-
olate added to one portion of the mix
ture. Mixed spices in the quantity of
teaspoon may be added if a spice
cake is desired.
