FEDERAL MEN
PREPARE FOR
COURT FIGHT

WASHINGTON, March /. Up
Government lawyers prepared for
another important test Of New Deal
powers Friday a. the capital spec
ulated on whether the supreme court
would or would not continue to up
hold Roosevelt policies by q 5-4 mar
gin.
The extent of congress- right TO
regulate commerce will be argued
before the high tribunal next week
in the railroad retirement pension
case.
Writers of much New Deal legis-
laAUn. ire uding the National Re-
coVery Ac1, sought to base it IN
whole or in part on the constitution
a. clause empowering congress 70
regulate interstate commerce. OPP
ponents Of some of the new law IN
Sist congress exceeded the latitude
granted by the constitution.
a District Of Columbia court has
upheld the contention Of major rail-
roads that the pension act Is invalid
because 1t applies to all employees. in
Guiding those not directly engaged in
interstate commerce.
Solicitor General j. Crawford
Biggs, on the other hand. says he is
confident the supreme court will sus-
tain his theory that the act can COW
er al employees even though some
may not run q train across q state
line.
Observers win scan the courts
opinion for q definition OF the lati-
tude OF the commerce clause which
might be indicative in the Wierton
and other NRA cases. A federal judge
at Wilmington, Delaware. held that
the Weirton Steel company could
not be compelled 10 observe Section
IA because 1t was not engaged In
interstate commerce.

Right Balance
Required In
Dressings

You have seen a trained seal
balance ball on the end of
its nose.
Clever? Right!
1t calls for an acute sense
of equilibrium. Too much one
way, too much the other, and
the ball tips off the seals nose
and tumbles to the ground.
Trick seals and tasty salad
dressing both require balance
to be perfect.
In Rajah Salad Dressing a
balance is achieved that is
rare to countless products in
Its class. Balance is accom-.
pllshed in blending so much
oil. just enough vinegar, the
right quantity of egg yolks.
And the result is rich,
smooth, cream-like product that
permits no one ingredient to
dominate.
Rajah is blended skillfully,
balanced carefully, and, due to
this care, it is exceptionally
pleasing to the taste.

BAKING SUCCESS
DUE To POWDER

Any good pastry-cook will tell
you that better than 80 per cent
OF the responsibility for success in
baking biscuits, rolls. cakes, muf.
fins and other raised foods rests
with the dependability of the bak.
ing powder used.
No matter how good are all the
other ingredients, success is not
assured unless the baking powder
can be counted on to leaven per-
fectly.
When Quaker Maid Baking
Powder was first considered, one
and only one result was sought.
to secure product of the utmost
dependability. . one that could be
relied on to perform perfectly
never to fail to do it's job.
And Quaker Maid is thoroughlv
dependable. For example, it will
make a layer cake tender, light
and fine in flavor. And it will do
1t time and again.
Quaker Maid Baking Powder
contains the ingredients that are
found in almost all of the best
baking powders.

A housewives revolution would
be caused by return to the good
old days, declares the A&P
Kitchen. reviewing those good
old days" on the occasion of the
seventy.fifth anniversary of The
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Com
pany.
Throwing the spotlight Of in
terest on the progress in feeding
nation during the last IS years,
the A&P Kitchen found these to
be some of the difficulties our
grandmothers had to face in feed
ing their families.
If grandmother wanted to be
sure of serving grandfather
steaming cup of freshly roasted
coffee for breakfast in the 1850's
and 1860's. she had to roast it and
grind it herself. That's VIII t
everyone had to do then. For
breakfast cereals, all grandmother
had to do was to buy basket Of
wheat, and cook a quart or so on
the back of the stove for two days
until it was soft enough to chew.
SeafOOd Sailed
In those days, away from the
seacoast the only seafood obtain
able was salted. 1t came in two
forms. dried SAT- fish and picked
salt fish. The dried salt fish
we're just dandy if you had enough
time to soak them for day. and
if you had enough time to change
the water often.
Soap was not something that
grandmother could just order
half a dozen bars of at the local
store. She saved her wood ashes
and grease drippingS for months
and rendered them into a soft
jellylike mass then known as
soap.
Flavoring extracts did not come
in neat bottles in the 1905.
Grandmother had to buy a va
nilla bean. or carefully save her
orange and lemon peel for months
and soak them in brandy, and
in the short time of a month
she had vanilla extract or lemon
extract.
Lye HOminy
Hominy was another favorite of
the late 180O's. For hominy a
bottle of strong lye was kept on
the pantry shelf This bottle of
lye, plus an iron kettle full of
water. plus some shelled corn.
plus a days soaking, plus re-
peated waShings, plus cooking,
produced hominy. Simple, wasn't
it?
Meat. however, was different.
If grandmother bought fresh
