The berries are easy TO prepare

Gooseberry Fool
Gooseberry fool is best when

raspberries and strawberries, are
sometimes substituted. Here is
the old-time recipe:

custard, cup whipping cream.
Top and tail the gooseberries
and put into a smooth sauce pan
with half the sugar and all the
water Stew over low fire or
over hot water until the berries
are very tender and soft. Rub
through a sieve and add remain

custard which has been favored
with nutmeg instead of vanilla.
Pour into a serving dish and chill
until ready to serve. Whip cream
until thick, but not stiff, and
sweeten with powdered sugar.
Pile lightly on top of the "fool"
and CRATE nutmeg over the top.

SEE OHIO VOTE
AS DOUBTFUL
Demos, Disrupted Carried
State by Only $4,000
in 1892
By JOHN R. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

COLUMBUS, O., July 6. (UP).
New Deal prospects for winning
Ohio this year depend on the abil-
ity of the national and state Dem
ocratic organizations to work to-
gether despite the fact that each
harbors cordial dislike of the
other.
Franklin D. Roosevelt carried
Ohio in 1882 by approximately
$4,000 votes-about 8 per cent
Of the 100000 cast. Republi-
cans would need to convert only
three out of every 100 voters to
have the majority in their favor
and win the states % electoral
votes for Gov. Alfred N. Landon.
With the state thus highly I'M
certain, the New Deal finds itself
forced this year to lean for as
sistance on a man who has pub
licly fought some of its policies
and officials. Although Democratic
National Chairman Jas. A. Farley
probably would prefer to see Gov.
Martin L. Davey go back to his
tree surgery, he has nowhere else
to turn this year in the Buckeye
state.
Davey, on the other hand, is
even more dependent on the ma
tional administration.
Davey had only nominal opposi-
ton for the Democratic nomina-
ton. New Deal forces put up
Charles Sawyer, Cincinnati, but
he withdrew early in the cam
paign. Rep. Stephen Young, of
Cleveland, ran without any par
ticular support, but managed to-
collect some 100000 votes. Being
on the same ticket with President
Roosevelt, political observers be-
lieve, is an asset to Davey, but
some doubt whether he can carry
the state against John Bricker,
Republican attorney general, even
if the president carries Ohio
again.
Davey's relations with the New
Deal have been strained since Re-
lief Administrator Harry l.. Hop
kins, charging that Davey was at
tempting to shake down contrac-
tors, took over administration of
relief two years ago. The federal
government still directs relief ac-
tivities in this state.
Davev and Hopkins exchanged
uncomplimentary statements and
the governor finally filed criminal
libel charges against the rangy
New Dealer. He dared Hopkins to
come here to face htem. Hopkins
entered the state shortly there
after, but Davey dropped the
charges.
Ever since then the national adj
ministraiton has been looking for
someone else to run the Ohio
Democratic machine, but so far
has found no one. Davey second
ed President Roosevelt's nomina-
ton at Philadelphia and outward
ly the two organizations are at
peace.
Bricker opens his campaign with
the advantage of complete har-
mony within the party. He was
unopposed in the primary. AL
