Marlboro Apple Pie

Peel and CRATE six large apples.
Melt six ounces of butter and mix
with the apples. Add two lemons,
the juice and grated rind. Sepa-
rate three eggs, keeping out the
whites of two for a meringue.
Beat the egg yolks with the
eight ounces of sugar and add to
the above mixture. Beat alto
gether and bake with bottom crust
only. When cool, beat whites up
stiff, add three tablespoons OF
granulated sugar. Sprea d the
meringue over the pie. Brown

gives it a dressed-up appearance
and delicious taste.
Prepare the pie in the usual way,
only omit the top crust. Bake until
the apples are tender. Spread
over them the halved marShmal-
lows and return to the oven until
a delicate brown.

People who would like to have
their handkerchiefs scented but
unstained face a problem, but
there's a solution to it. Many
perfumes will diScolor a fabric
when directly applied. The smart
thing is to make small Satchet
bag out of heavy chiffon or bolt
ing cloth. The sachet can be
scented and placed in the drawer
where handkerchiefS are kept. In
this way the handkerchief will be
perfumed without being stained.

The method for serving them
varies with the taste. Oyster stew
is g favorite. 1t can be made in
a number of delicious ways. Many
prefer a simple soup, relying on
the delicious oyster flavor to make
it palatable. Others like quanti-
ties of rich milk and cream used
as the base. 1t is all a matter OF
choice and budget.
Oyster Stew
A tried and true recipe is as
follows:
Take one pint of fresh oysters
and put over a low fire in their
CWn liquid. When hot through
and the edges are slightly curled,
drain and add one quart of milk
that has been heated to the steam
ing point-not to boiling.
Add one tablespoon Of butter,
one-half teaspoon of salt, dash OF
black pepper, and simmer all to-
gether until the boiling point is
reached. Stir to prevent any skim
from forming on top Of the kettle.
Serve with crisp crackers, celery
curls or croutonS, which you can
make out of leftover toast and
simply reheat.
Escalloped oysters are a fine
choice for the main part Of Sun
day night supper or any buffet
meal or luncheon. 1t is a hearty
and satisfying dish, and at the
same time has a delicate flavor
that is q welcome change from
the customary meat course.
FSCALLOPED OYSTERS
To make the escalloped oysters,
take one quart of oysters and Suffi-
Gent cracker crumbs (about two
cups, salt, pepper, butter and
milk.
First spread the layer of cracker
crumbs lightly over the bottom of
the baking dish, then cover gen.
erously with oysters which have
been drained of their liquid,
sprinkle salt, pepper, and dot with
butter.
Add a second layer Of the
cracker crumbs and then oysters,
proceeding in like manner until
the casserole is filled. Let the top
layer be cracker crumbs. Then
add milk to barely cover and put
in the oven and bake until the
milk is absorbed and the crumbs
are light brown.
In planning this dish for a meal,
always gauge your time carefully,
for it loses its goodness by stand.
ing. 1t should be served as soon
as it comes from the oven.
Fried Oysters
Fried oysters are simple to pre-
pare and are perhaps the faVorite
of oyster loving persons. To pre-
pare drain the amount Of oysters
needed, roll in the cracker crumbs
which have been sailed and pep
pered, and fry slowly in bacon TAT
or butter.
With French fried potatoes, to-
nato catsup or relish, bread and
butter (the crustH kind of bread is
especially good with this combina.
tom and, for dessert, luscious
lemon pie with plenty of fragrant
hot coffee makes a meal to be
reliShed.
Another favorite recipe is
Oyster Pie. This recipe is in
party proportions and will serve
10.

Winning Contract
By THE FOUR ACES.

nents.
90 East refuses to be shut out.
"a South is undecided as to his
proper course of action, so he allows
his partner to make the decision.
(5) North is afraid that the oppo-
nents can make four spades.
(6) With two sure diamond tricks
plus his partners spade raise, West
feels confident of defeating five
hearts.
West opened the king of diamonds,
and when his partner signalled with
the 10 he continued with the ace and
another diamond, declarer trumping.
Declarer led trump, and when both
followed he spread his hand, claim
ing the doubled contract and indi-
eating that he would draw trumps
and discard the two spades from
dummy on his hidden five-card club
suit.
East and West were entirely fab
bergasted, as they could not possibly
place South with i've good clubs,
inasmuch as he had merely opened
with one heart and never rebid.
However, carelessness on the part
of the East player had cost them the
game. On the opening lead of the
king of diamonds East should have
played the nine, and when West fol-
lowed with the ace East should have
played the 10, as a third round Of
diamonds would necessarily find the
declarer with no more. Had East

Vacations
BY ARTHUR DEAN, Sc. D.

T OFTEN wonder why the public
schools close down for three months
and turn the children into the streets
and the arms of tired mothers.
There was time that children went
to school when there was no work to
be done on the farm. The school year
was gradually heightened to include
late Fall and early Spring. with the
Summer months still free for assist
ing in the production Of crops.
As it stands today, the school stops
In June and the only crop the average
child cultivates in Summer months is
demoralized mental activity and thor
ough disorganization of all that he has
been taught :, school.
! cannot conceive of a more foolish
thing than the idea of giving the
youth Of the land supervised care for
six or eight hours of every day, and
semi-supervised study for two or three
other hours for a prolonged period
of nine months. and then, on the click
Of the clock, at the longest day in the
year, to dismiss every child to the
tender mercies of the street and the
playground, without supervision and
without care for three months.
There Is real need now for short
intervals In education for teachers and
children, but the waste and the fri
volity of our present system of three
months Of complete cessation of men,
tai activities are a blot on our educa-
tional history which should be re-
moved.
The present long vacation is so silly
and senseless it is a wonder that moth
ing-except in a few instances-has
been done about it.
Why not deny child TODD for three
months and stuff him for nine? Why
not have him sleep for nine months
and keep awake for three? Why not
teach him good habits for nine months
and give him rest from training for
three months? Why not make him
clean his teeth and comb his hair
for only nine months?
A child lives for II months q year.
He developS-for good or for bad
for II consecutive months. Assuming
that education promotes a good de-
velopment. how, in all common sense,
can it suddenly stop in June and Just
as suddenly start in September?
A well organized Summer camp keeps
the connection between the habit
training of June and that which is
coming in September But where do we
poor folks come in?

and especially to its younger

tive for the peoples welfare as
has been done in other communi-
ties; notably in Detroit where
many drastic and vital improve
ments in economic and social well
fare have resulted. A cordial in
vitation is given to any interested
persons to be present.

Those attending were very en-
thusiastic and are looking forward
to this Saturday when they meet
again. For twenty years, citizens
of st. Paul have been trying to
get a class at the "Y" for Negro
boys, but to no avail; consequent
ly, this will go down as major
achievement for one who has been
in our community such a short
time.
This is only one of the things
that Mr.. Harpole has accomplished
in the athletic world since coming
to the Halle @. Brown as Athletic
Director. He has received an en-
thusiastic response from the young
people in st. Paul-both white and
colored, the Parks and Fairgrounds
Department, and other community
houses.

He is the first colored man in
the history Of st. Paul to be Sc
lected as one Of the officials of
the city league. Since the middle
of January, Harpole has held
one of the referee positions of that
league which extends through the
current season. He also placed two
teams in the city league in st. Paul
one senior and one junior, and
four teams m the city basketball
league-one being composed en-
tirely of white boys in the Gopher
League.
Harpole is a graduate of the
University Of Minnesota where he
played three seasons of football,
and is now attending the gu"
working on his Masters degree.
At West Virginia State College
during the season of '34-'35, where
he was Athletic Director, he estab-
hshed the first fencing class ever
to be held in Negro colleges. He
has attempted to give the young
people of st. Paul the benefit of
his fencing knowledge by organic
ing a class in fencing for girls at
the Halle @. To date sixteen girls
have taken advantage of this class
and are progressing rapidly in the
art.
st. Paul can be proud to have
in its midst man like Harpole
who is well known by city officials
in the field of physical education.
During the first week in April
of 1886, Harpole will give a bean
feed for all the boys who have been
in his classes and worked with him
since he has been at Halle @. He
