STORMS TAKE

Dollar Property Loss Reported
From New York, New England
By United Press

Storms and raging floods spread
ing over wide areas in New York
state, New England and Canada
took at least IL lives today, caused
millions of dollars damage, forced
hundreds of families to eyacuate
their homes and marooned hun
dreds of others in water-blockaded
homes, trains, busSeS and automo-
miles.
United Press dispatches showed
IL deaths attributed to the most
serious storms in New York state
in more than a decade. Tentative
estimates put property damage at
over $10,000,000. Hundreds of homes
were inundated and at least $50
cottages were carried away. Crops
suffered heavily.
An autorSobile carrying four per-
sons was swept from the highway
into Chenango Creek, the sheriff at

ally all of the flood victims were
drowned, eight of them in or near
Ithaca.
The storms extended from west

England and varied from turbulent
floods in the New York state area
to heavy fog which delayed ship
ping at Boston. Among the New
York areas suffering heavily were
Elmira, Kingston, Ithaca, Bath
Watkins Glenn, Whitney Point and
Binghampton.
The floods and storms spread
destruction over widely scattered
areas in New York, New England
and part of Canada.
A train was many hours overdue
at Elmira, N. Y, in a region where
many bridges were washed out.
Utilities Hard Hit
Shipping was delayed greatly by
fog at Boston.
Public services were suspended in
New York areas as the water
backed from swollen streams and
rivers to cover highways, farmlands
and town streets from one to sever
al feet.
Crops and trees. homes, bridges,
transportation lines and communi-
cation system were damaged.
Property and crop loss in New
York state was estimated tenta-
lively at more than $10,0G0,000.
At Ithaca more than 80 cottages
were swept out on Lake Cuyuga.
The Black Diamond Express of the
Lehigh Valley railroad was stalled
Cne mile out of town.
Twenty families left their homes
along Sawkill Greek, 20 miles from
Kingston, N. Y. Mrs. Charles Ed
ward Cooper of New York City and
her three children were rescued
from tree near their summer
home.
Part of Ithaca was under water
and damage there was estimated at
$1,000,000.

FIRE CAUSES
EAvY Loss
At CALEX|CO
Q isss. herdaagb, Syndicate. liza

Believed to have had its origin
in faulty wiring, fire caused dam
ages estimated at 100000 to the
Harris building, lockwood at Sec
ond, in Calexico early this forming.
The fire was discovered at $50
o'clock and gave the CaleXico and
Mexicali fire departments several
exciting hours before it was final
ly brought under control.
Most of the damage caused by
the fire was in the second story of
the building, where it originated,
damage to the lower floor being
due chiefly to water and smoke.
The upper story was devoted to
offices and these were completely
Quilted. 1t was said here this morn
ing that a concrete floor between
the two stories was all that pre-
vented the fire from ravaging the
lower story.
The first floor of the building
was occupied by the PaStime club,
Pinell's Jewelry company and a
wholesale grocery establishment.

HEARD an interesting and anus
l. Il ing story the other day.

The British Royal Air Force, op-
Grating with ground troops, was
policing the Middle East country
known as Irak, land of the turbu-
lent Bedouin and the quick-tem-
pered Arab.
The Air Force airplanes assumed
the task of keeping the ground
troops informed of the enemy S
whereabouts and then both land and
air forces would carry out a con-
certed attack. Communication be-
tween them was by short wave radio.
1t was easy enough to keep the
radio batteries in the alrplanes
charged because the aircraft motors
were equipped with generators. j..
But the ground troops had TO meet
this difficulty in another manner.
Some ingenious chap had designed
an entire receiving and broadcast
ing station which could be placed
on the back of a mule.
The unit was divided so that the
transmitter was hung on one side
of the saddle and the battery, gen.
orator and tiny gasoline motor were
suspended from the other side.
It seems that the mules required
certain amount of training and
coercion before they became accus-
toned to the curious little gadgets

gave a lot of trouble and at various
times when the little gas motor was

THE MINCE MEAT
 SEASON IS HERE
Nothing Like Mince Pies for Holiday Time-lts
 Other Uses
MY MARIE CLIFFORD Armour Food Economist

Mince Meat is as much 8 part of early winter menus as are Fresh Pork Sausage and buckwheat cakes.
 "Way back when. as we're prone to say of grandmother's time, early Fall days were mince meat mak- ing days-and for long hours the spicy bubbling mass of fruits, beef, suet and cidar sent its aroma all through the house. And then fol- lowed hot Mince pies and steamed buildings and all the rest of those deliciously rich desserts.
 You'll see few bubbling pots of Mince Meat any more-but Mince pies haven't lost their popularity one whit. That's because already prepared Mince Meat has been add cd to our list of time and labor saving foods and Mince pie now- a-days is simply matter of spoon- ing it from the jar to the pie shell. Perhaps the most convenient and inexpensive Mince Meat prepera- ton is the condensed variety which comes in neat little cartoons, al- ready to be thinned with water and used. It has all the regular in- gradients of raisinS, entrants, spices, suet and beef boiled down | in cider to @ semi-solid consisten- cy.
 The glass jars of mince meat meat have the same blend of fruits, meat and spices but have the added zest of just enough alcohol to bring out hte real tang of the blended flavors. This product is designated as moist Mince Meat and needs no preparation before it goes into the pie shell.
 There are so many grand tasting dishes to be made with either the moist or condensed Mince Meat. A lemon gelatin dessert - literally filled with mince meat and nuts
 makes an easy and delicious type of ruit pudding. Applies cored and stuffed with Mince Meat, then baked, is another.
 You can use 1t instead of the usual dried fruit mixture in plum pudding or instead of part of the liquid in @ spice cake. And filled cookies or tarts using Mince Meat filling are simply delicious.
 Then too, Mince Pie may have some interesting variations in combining Mince Meat with fresh aranberries. crushed pineapple or dried apricots for the usual filling Serve these Mince Meat comhina- ton pies either hot or cold.

This is pretty much the prescrip- tion for holiday parties. And the | fact that the mint juleps are spark ling with the tank of pineapple juice instead of alcohol, that the hot punch is spiced with cinnamon, cloves and allspice and the egg-nog boasts only brandy extract, does not, at all, mean that the parties will be less hilarious.
 It takes only good food, good hol- iday drinks and a good dance or- chestra to make youthful spirits ef- fervesce, and these holiday parties for home-from- school and college crowds are indeed 8 laughing, quaffing, and minimizing time."
 Do Be Up-to-Date
 Make certain, however, that your parties are the very latest thing, up- to-the-moment in every sense of the word, if you are entertaining the younger set. There is no other group more intolerant of last years styles whether it be clothes, dance steps, food or drink. You can buy gaily decorated glasses for your holiday drinks at very little cost in- deed-glasses with pictures on them so that each person can carry his pineapple julep from ping-pong ta- ble to card table and know 1t when he sees it, glasses conveniently numbered for the same purpose, Roman striped glasses, polka dot glasses-all kinds. But be sure that your punch glasses are punch glass; es-squatty little mugs, and that your mint julep glasses are authen- tic-tall as 8 track-star and glam- orouS as a Junior Prom "date." Here are several suggestions for holiday drinks to fill the glasses they're strictly therel
 Noel Mint Julep: Boil four table spoons mint jelly, four cups water and four cups sugar until the jelly is all melted. Cool. Add two cups pineapple syrup and the juice of four lemons. Serve very cold with a sprig of fresh mint in each glass. Instead of ice, use ginger ale fa- vored with the mint syrup from green cherries and then frozen in cubes. This fills six tall glasses. Coffee Milk Shake: Combine two cups strong clear coffee, one-haH cup maple syrup, one cup evaporat- ed milk and one-fourth cup canned chocolate syrup. Shake well in 8 cocktail shaker with crushed ice un- til cold. This fills six tall glasses.
 Holiday Punch: Mash two ban- anas and add two cups pineapple syrup, one cup evaporated milk, two
