Spirit of
Pilgrims
Lives On
Their Courageousness
Still a Beacon to
Our Land.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

A GAIN it Is Thanksgiving day, and
we stop in our busy rounds to
offer thanks to God for the blessings
we have enjoyed during the year. It
Is our custom, and a good custom it
is. We are so likely to forget the
good things We enjoy and concentrate
upon the sufferings we have endured.
It seems so much easier for some
Of us to cry than to laugh aloud In
Thanksgiving.
We have much to be grateful for,
although we have experienced much
that is new and unsettling to our
thinking. The national mind has
been thoroughly shaken out of its ruts
and that is something We can all
stand up and cheer about. When
everybody is excited about his gov
ernment. about his share in it, about
his neighbor's attitude toward it, we
can expect growth and progress. Ac-
tivity always accompanies growth,
and growth means life abundant,
which is surely something to be
deeply grateful for this Thanksgiving
day.
We hear over and over that the
pilgrim fathers would not do as we
have done. How does one know what
they would have done? They did
plenty in their day. They neither
Slumbered nor slept on their daily
round. Activity was the watchword
of their time. No sun went down
upon an idle day In Plymouth. Hard
work, work in the truest sense, was
their portion. They worked at their
daily living, and they worked for their
spiritual salvation. Responsibility
rested heavily on the shoulders of
each member Of the band, old and
young alike. They took what meas
ures they felt fit to maintain them
selves In security in a hostile land.
They were as handy with their mus
kets as they were with their prayer
books. What would they do today?
don't know. They would not need
to hew trees for log cabins. They
would not need to build stockades
against the enemy. They would not
need to scratch the earth with a stick
to plant their corn. But they would
show themselves like men-men of
the spirit. Their work would be diff
ferent because their needs would be
different, but their spirit would flame
as it always famed, a beacon in q
troubled land.
Their spirit is not dead. It cannot
die because it Is the spirit Of life
itself. the eternal rightness of crea-
ton that lives eternally. We can be
truly thankful this day that while
the old cabins are In the shadow of
stately cities; while the old churches
are merged with vaulted cathedrals;
while daily labors are lightened by
mechanical forces. the spirit of the
pilgrim fathers lives on in these
United States, forever holding us to
standard of Righteousness. We feel
their spirit moving within US as we
pledge ourselves to liberty and justice
for all.
What would the pilgrim fathers do
today? do not know. But am GER
tain that they would maintain their
ideals of honor, just behavior toward
all men, daily duty well performed.
And for that heritage, for that in
fluence in our lives today, let us be
truly thankful.

Baked Apple
Makes Good
Fruit Dish
Ideal as a Breakfast
Food or Dinner
Dessert.
BY EDITH NJ. BARBER.

SoME Of you may wonder why
should take the time to talk about
baking apples. Every one must know
how to bake apples,N you think.
There is no trick to that"
Maybe not, yet so often I am served
with a baked apple that is not done
or is not attractive in appearance be-
cause the skin has burst and it has
collapsed like q punctured balloon.
What is the answer? First of all,
buy apples which will bake well. The
grocer will tell you if you ask him
which Of the apples in stock at the
moment are the best for this purpose
In preparing them for baking core the
| apples with corer or knife, but be
sure to remove all the seeds and seed
cases. 1t is very irritating to get a
mouthful of sharp particles.
There are two ways in which apples
may be prepared so that they will keep
their shape A line may be drawn
just through the skin around the
center with sharp knife or the apple
may be pared for about one inch from
the top.
The center of the apples should be
filled with sugar-sugar and spice
after they are put In the baking pan
and enough water to cover around
them. Sometimes the centers are
filled with raisins or with nuts and
raisins. and the sugar IS put in with
the water.
Corn sirup. used instead of sugar.
will make, a glazed apple. Another
way of glazing is to sprinkle the top
Of the apple with sugar after it has
baked until tender and then put it
under the broiler until the sugar melts.
Baking apples should have q hot
oven at first about 450 degrees F.
After IS minutes the fire may be low
| cred somewhat.
Baked apples may be served hot or
very cold, with plain or whipped
| cream, or with a soft custard. Small
baked apples make a delicious salad
served on lettuce leaves and garnished
with mayonnaise.
It is possible to bake apples on top
of the stove in closely covered sauce
pan over very low fame. In this
case they should be glazed Under the
broiler after they are cooked through.
This is a particularly good way to
cook pared apples. Before using the
apples they may be rolled in chopped
nuts or in 'coconut.
One Of the delightful things about
baked apples is the fact that they may
be used for. q breakfast fruit or for q
lunch or dinner dessert. The canny
housewife bakes apples whenever she
is doing any other baking In the oven.
She sets them in the refrigerator, to
use when she needs them at any one
of the three meals during the next
day or two.

DaintineSS
Very Easily
Maintained
Liquid and Powder
Deordorants Are
Helpful.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE majority of modern women are
very fastidious about PERSONAL
daintiness during the Summer months.
They realize that people perspire
more in hot weather. But, as Sum-
mer ends and the cool weather sets
in, too many make the mistake OF
thinking that "dsintiness" measures
are no longer necessary. When you
realize that the normal body exudes
anywhere from pint to a quart OF
perspiration every day Of the year,
regardless of weather. you see how
important it is to continue these
measures in the Winter.
This seasons cloth dresses. tweeds,
woolens, heavy suits and sweaters are
chic indeed. But bear in mind that
these call for more caution than ever
in the matter Of body odor and per-
spiration.
Now all this Is neither an easy nor
a pleasant topic to write about. But
I am presenting the actual facts by
way of impresSing the Importance OF
continuing the same attempt to
achieve a naturally sweet" personal
fragrance at all seasons Of the year.
When we understand the why's and
wherefore We are more apt to do
something about them. Very well,
then. 1t IS easy to understand that
clothes fit most closely at the arm
pit and where there is not much posi-
bility for circulation of air. The use
of liquid or powder non-perspirant
or deodorant will help matters i'm
measurably.
Many women feel that bathing
should be sufficient to keep the body
naturally sweet" 1t isn't. On the
other hand. deodorants in themselves
are not sufficient, either. The COM
bination Is ideal. Warm. cleansing,
soap-sudsy bath at night, cool shower
ini the morning, followed by the use
Of a preparation such as we have dis
cussed here, and you can set your
mind at peace.
I have very complete bulletin on
Good Grooming and Personal Dainti-
ness" that every woman should heed
every season Of the year. A self
addressed, stamped (3-cent) envelope
will bring it to you.

It Is One of the Greatest Sins to Make
Old People Unhappy.

judge their children. They only love
them.
AS your mother -in-law is 10, and
feeble, you have not much time in
which to atone to her for your con-
duct, so I would advise you not to
delay putting your repentance into
action. Don't wait until after she is
dead to shed tears Of regret over
ner coffin. Do something about it at
once, while you still have a chance
to make the old woman happy and
wipe out some of the score that the
Recording Angel has written up
against you. 80.
There aren't many things in tho
world that anybody can do that are
meaner and crueler than making an
old person unhappy. because the old
are so helpless. They have no way Of
getting away from those who misuse
them, and so they have to take what-
ever treatment is accorded them.
That is why harshness to the forlorn
old father or mother who must live
in child's house comes near to
being the unforgiVable sin.

Men and women who show their
in-laws that they are unwelcome
guests and who make every bite they

dependence. Sons and daughters who
let their wives or husbands ALLEVIATE
them from the mother who bore them
and the father who toiled to support
them in their youth, and who never
show the old people any of the tender
ness or affection that they crave.
Grandchildren who, taking their cue
from their parents, are impudent and
fail in respect to the patient old
people who adore them and who for

mother and father love that never

These undutiful children are COM

as Gift Solution Lies In Early Fam
List Names Carefully,
Allotting Sum to Each;
Avoid Overexpenditure
Bought and Paid for" Is Good Slogan.
Calm Planning and Purchasing Boon
to Every One Concerned.

THE important thing to note in all
this is-sit down and have your
get-together soon. Much of the un-
expected accounts rendered after
Christmas come from the fact that
someone has forgotten poor Aunt
Minnie until the last moment, and
there is no time to do any careful
selecting in the matter of her gift.
The consequence Is, that one member
of the family ruSheS out, and hastily
buys something which costs too much,
and which Aunt Minnie will inevi-
tably loathe, just because no time has
been given to 1t beforehand.
Thoughtful planning, thoughtful
selection, and thoughtful buying will
prove to be q boon, not only to you
but to the stores. Pay cash whenever
and wherever you can-the first of the
year will hold fewer terrors for you,
and the shops will be well pleased.
If you do use charge accounts-regard
them as only an emergency measure,
and see that your allotted gift budget
takes their prompt payment into con-
sideration. Don't say to yourself "Oh,
can give Jimmy the raccoon coat,
because I can charge it at So-and-So's
and it doesn't have to be paid for
right away" That isn't fair If you
can't pay for 1t January l, then buy
it on special budget plan, as ar
ranged by the store, which usually
carries a small extra charge to make
up loss of time.
Bought and paid for" Is the best
slogan of all for Christmas giving
early planning and shopping will aid
you in holding to it. And think. oh
think, how the salesgirls will bless
you if you come in bright and early,
day or so from now, with your
neatly written list, a clear head, and
definite idea of what, to whom, and

EAR MISS DIX: How can I
right a terrible wrong that I
have done to good mother
~ in-law? My husband is her
youngest child and after her husbands
death she wanted to come and live
with us.
Financially 1t was all right, and she
was no trouble and always kind and
sweet, never interfered in any way,
but ] was just mean. I am jealous
and dominating and only want my
husband and little daughter, so I
made things so unpleasant for her that
she left. I have kept my husband
from going to see her, although she
is 10 years old and not in good health.
Now bow my head in shame for hav-
ing caused her so much unhappiness.
My conscience is making me morbid,
and I feel that would do almost any,
thing to rectify the wrong have done.
What would you advise?
DAUGHTER -IN-LAW.
Answer-The only thing you can do
Is TO humble yourself before your
mother-in and tell her that you
repent of the way you have treated
her and take her back home with you.
Human nature never reaches such
Christlike heights as it does in the
forgiveness that parents show to their
children, so you will not appeal to
her in vain.
FATHERS and mother alone OF all
of us are able to wipe out even
the memory of the wrongs that have
been done to them and to take the
repentant sinners back to their hearts
and to love them as if nothing had
happened.
Your husband is his mothers Ben
jamin, the child of her old age, dear
to her beyond her other children, and
her JOY at being with him again and
seeing his loved face will make her
forget all of your selfshness and
harshness toward her. 1t will even
make her forget how weak and un-
grateful has been the son who let a

For instance, the matter Of Christ

become a nightmare in which the true
spirit of Christmas has entirely lost

was overheard remarking to her
daughter, aged Al wish to goodness
I could go to sleep now, and when l
woke up, Christmas would be over, and
all the bills would be paid!" The
young lady replied, in an outraged
tone-"but mother. surely Christmas

did her best with the equivalent, tart
I'm sorry. my dear, but bills and good
cheer don't mix"
OF course, daughter was right, tech
nically. But, when cold hard facts
are faced, mother is the one who really
sizes up the situation as it is. I know
of very few adults, especially those with
a demanding family, whose friends are
legion, who do not dread the jingle Of
Santa Claus reindeer with a feeling
akin to terror and despair. No matter
how little you plan to spend-no mat
ter how firm you decide to be with
yourself and your household-January
! takes its hideous toll just the same.
*
I REALIZE that it is an impoSsibility
to declare a moratorium on Christ
mas. That would be unfair to the
shops, and big business in general The
vicious circle would bite its tail again,
and We should get pinched in the
process. But something should really
be arranged individually whereby
certain allotted sum and no more is to
be spent on gifts for the holiday sea-
son.
The Christmas savings club plan
adopted by so many of the banks is
an excellent one, and if every family
would or could take advantage of
them, great deal Of post-Yuletide
misery would be spared. But so often
an emergency-Such as illness, special
shoes. unexpected trips, or an aching
tooth eats up the money that should
go into such fund, and the resultant
sum at the end of the year is disap-
pointingly small.
The only possible solution, as l see
it-and, mind you, don't say it is
a perfect one, by any means-is for
each member of the family to set aside
one evening between now and Christ
mas, preferably very soon. and, with
paper and pencil, list everyone to
whom they feel they must give
present. and after the name set the
average necessary sum. When all the
names are taken care of, the total
amount to be spent on all should be
set down, and then added to those
of the. other persons in the family.
Usually this will provoke a howl. as
being Impossibly large, but a care
full revision will make matters definite
Then the great question Of whether
the family can afford the expenditure
will be placed under discussion. If the
verdict is no" some scratching out
and substituting must take place-if
'yeS," then all that remains to be
done is to sally forth and find the
article to fit the person and the
amount as designated on the list. If
you are stern about this matter, and
do not exceed the limit set, you will
find no ugly apparitions awaiting you

FEDERAL WINERY
FIGHT IS RENEWED
Senate to Be Asked to Allow
Funds for Work
With Drink.

The House has turned thumbs down
on the argument that wine making
is essential to the more abundant life
sought for the populace by the New
Dealers
Prompted by DR.. Rexford Guy Tug
well, however, the Agriculture De-
partment now plans to bring pressure
on the Senate to permit Government
cooperation in developing the Ma
tions taste for the fermented Juice
OF the grape.
The domestic wine industry is on
the skids, according to the depart
ment. Many acres of California vine
yards went unpicked last season, and
the grapes rotted on the vine as sales
OF American sack and sherry went
down.
AS a remedy for this falling mar
ket, Agriculture officials urged in
stallment of a Government winery at
the Beltsville, Md, Experimental Sta
ton to educate the citizenry to drink
more wine, particularly domestic wine.
The Bureau of Plant Industry calcu-
lates $4,000 would be necessary for
the first years work on this Govern
ment effort to subsidize the industry
Lost in House.
The Budget Bureau granted the re-
quest for the money. The House
Appropriations Committee, however, at
the behest of Representative Cannon,
Democrat, of Missouri. struck the item
from the Agriculture Department sup
ply bill.
The fight for the money now will
center in the Senate, and department
officials are hopeful the item will be
put back in the appropriation bill.
I'VE are now working at some of
the biological principles that go into
the making of very fine Wines" Dr.
Frederick T. Richey, chief of the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry, told the House

sistant, urged establishment of the
station at Beltsville:

work here. where we have all our vari-
GUS scientists"
The winery would be established 3
miles from Beltsville proper in a sec
tion formerly devoted to corn. Every
type of grape that can flourish in
Maryland soil would be planted there.
The arbors would be entwined with
branches of the Muscadine or Soup
pernong from South Carolina, and

F. &. R. A. STRIKERS HOLD
CITY HALL AT DALLAS

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, March 20.-Several
hundred relief strikers still held the
City Hall Auditorium last night in
protest against ration cuts, although
many had quit their ranks and gone
back on work relief.
Carl Brannin, spokesman for the
strikers, said they sent telegram
yesterday asking aid of President
Roosevelt.
Officials resigned themselves to loss
of considerable rent revenue as a re-
suit.
City Secretary Earl Goforth told
the strikers the place had been re-
served for Thursday. Saturday and
Sunday, but they informed him they
would remain until they achieved their
objective.
