~
the most important days Of the
year-Mother's Day-and I would
like to dedicate this poem to all
mothers.
A WISH FOR MOTHERS
would like to make a wish so
grand
For every mother in all our land,
For those who have built up our
lives by theirs
And have steadied US by their
voiceless prayers.
They have shielded by love that
never tires,
They have turned our thoughts
from wrong desires;
We have selfshly taken, as our just
due,
Her sacrifice to a purpose true.
Unworthy of this we have often
been
And grieved them with negligence
Ger again.
Forgiveness we ask of the Father
above
For e'er disregarding a mothers
love.
And oh, if my wish could be grant
ed today
I would wish that ever, on each
mothers way,
Would fall the bright glow Of .
love returned,
The warmth of affection for which
she yearned.
I would wish that her heart might
from care be free,
All anxious care, lest to you and
me
Might come some load too heavy
to bear
Or that we might falter or fail
somewhere.
A wish that her fears may all fade
away 4
And the fruitage of faith she may
see each day;
To honor them now, let US pledge
anew,
We will try to make these wishes
come true.
Also in honor of mothers I want
to submit a cake recipe that is a
daisy, hence the name "Lazy Daisy
Cake" Why don't you girls sur
prise your mother with one on Sun
day. This recipe was given me by
Mrs. Jean Wright of this city as
follows:
Heat one-half cup milk and 2
tbsp. of butter in a saucepan.
When hot, add to the following
mixture: Beat 2 eggs till fluffy.
Gradually add 1 cup sugar, then 1
tsp. f1avoring vanilla, lemon or
almond). Sift 1 cup cake flour and
1 tsp. baking powder. Add this to
sugar and egg mixture. Now pour
in hot milk and butter. Bake in a
moderate oven { $780, 40O0) for 80
minutes in a square, shallow, I'M
creased pan.
While the cake is baking slowly,
cook s tbsp. brown sugar; 2 tbsp.
cream and 8 tbsp. butter in a little
sauce-pan-and pour this caramel
topping on the cake as soon as it
is done. Sprinkle this with cocoa
nut and toast under the flame.
Now you have a delicious dish to
set before your mother on Mothers
Day.
Further signs of spring in Du-
luth beside those good OIL dande-
lion greens are the presence of
those germ-laden pests-fies-and
I swear, a mosquito bit me today.
I've seen some crocus in bloom and
the iris are not far behind, so it
won't be long now.
Mr.. Geo. Hall has been Ill for a

TRUCE SOUGHT
BY BIC POWERS
IN ORIENT CRISIS
u. S. Leads Plea to Re-
move WAR"
By ROBERT G. NIXON

U.N.SJ. President Roosevelt
sped armed reinforcementS to
China today to protect American
Lives and interests while the
major powers, led by the United
States and Britain, sought a
truce between Japan and China
to end the Shanghai fighting.
Secretary of State Hull re-
yealed that negotiations were un,
derway in an attempt to per-
suade the two belligerents to
cease their "undeclared war" or
at least to remove the theater
Of military operations from the
Chinese metropolis.
BOTH NATIONS WARNED
:, The United States sternly
warned both countries that Amer
lean rights, lives and property
must be protected.
United States troops now In
China will remain, Hull asserted.
Not only is there no thought OF
withdrawing Americas armed
forces, but 1900 additional ma
.Tines were ordered to sail as
Quickly as possible from the San
Diego (CalD base.
: American civilians are being
evacuated as swiftly as possible.
Hull estimated $500 will have
been taken out of Shanghai by
Saturday, leaving behind about
the same number.
: Whether the neutrality act will
be invoked remains to be deter
mined.
WAR NOT DECLARED YET
:, President Roosevelt pointed out
that although fighting had ragged
in China for six weeks there was
as vet no declared" war: nor had
there been severance Of diplomatic
relations. The Chinese and jap
anese ambassadors still are in
Tokyo and Marking.
One effect of the neutrality act
would be to end Americas trade
with the Orient. Together, Japan
and China are the third largest
customer of the United States.
The President and his advisers
are extremely reluctant to take this
step until the war is made official"

Slain at Great Wall

troll zone met with little sympathy
from Chinese officials. The sug-
gestion will be rejected, it was
learned, on the ground it is i'm
practical.
China might agree to reestablish
the 1882 demilitarized zone, how
ever, if Japan agrees to complete
withdrawal Of troops, it was said.
Shanghai's war took to the
water today when daredevil Chi
nese, careless of their own lives,
scuttled six Japanese marchant
ships in the Whangpoo River.
2s4 AMERICANA LEAVE
With the renewal of the artil-
lery duel, hand-to-hand fighting at
Yangtsepoo, and the rapid spread
Of flames through wooden-housed
sections, 284 more Americans,
mostly women and children, left
aboard United States ships.
The six japanese cargo boats
were stopped by log boom three
quarters Of a mile south of the
Shanghai Club, and set adrift.
Soon watchers were astonished
to see the Japanese ships settle in
the murky water and then disap-
pear. Explosions were seen to
burst from some.
Launches and other small craft
constitute the Chinese fleet here,
larger ships having fled to other
ports at the beginning of the crisis.
SHELLS BLAST METROPOLIS
A Japanese bombardment from
warships and land batteries criss'
crossed the flaming metropolis
with a hail Of steel, lead and pow
der in half a dozen sections.
Dawn saw a fleet of japanese
air planes slip out of the clouds
and dive over Lunghua Airport, to
the south, and blast it for the
third time.
The entire international settle
ment, comprising the heart oil
Shanghai and harboring 2,O0C
Americans, was endangered BY
the sweep Of flames among flimsy
Chinese buildings to the north.

BRAVES BATTLE

SHANGHAI, Aug. 10 U.N.SO.
For a woman who braved the
mountains of western China to
bring back to America the only
live pandas ever seen there, war
torn Shanghai had no perils today.
Ruth Hardness, whose furry,
bear-like pandas now are in the
Chicago zoo, went aboard the

But when the "all-ashore"

JAPANESE Win
RACE OF DEATH

SHANGHAI, Aug. 10 Q.N.S0.
BY flying, running and swimming,
three japanese air pilots today
won a thrilling race with death.
Hit while on a bombing expedi-
ton, they were forced to land on
the socony-Vacuum Oil Com
pany's six-hole golf course, in the
Chinese-held section of Pootung.
The plane smashed against a
wall, but the pilot, to keep the
damaged machine from falling
into Chinese hands, pulled a time
bomb and blew it up.
Pursued by Chinese farmers,
the trio dashed toward the
Whangpoo River where, at their
frantic signals, sailors from a
Japanese ship managed to save
them.

intelligent manner on task with which they are un-
familiar.
1t is highly important that before these members pro-

mass of figures dealing with multiplicity of functions
they should gain firsthand knowledge of the lnstltu-
tions to which those figures apply.

Representative Collins of course is familiar with the

through his having lived here for many years he is fully
cognizant of the compoAy of the problems which face
the group over which he presdes.
But the other members of that group experienced

Nevertheless it must be borne in mind that in serving

duty imposed on them by the Constitution, duty which
is in every sense national duty.
It is to be hoped that many members of Congress in

that fact before the nresent session ends,
We hope that all of them will find the time and the
occasion to visit the local institutions which depend

THOROUGHLY AIRED

OF all the unusual requests that
Federal departments are called
upon to answer, this one seems
near the top.
A chemist in the Chemical War
fare Division was called to the
phone recently by a lady who
wanted to know how to get the
odor of tear gas out of her house.
The chemist was astonished and
asked how it had gotten in. She
told him the police had used it in
making an arrest. He was dumb
founded and asked why she didn't
get the police to take the odor out,
She said she had called the DO
lice and they had referred her to
the Bureau of Standards and the
Bureau of Standards had referred
her to the Chemical Service.
The chemist told her that some
forms of tear gas sink into wooc
and draperieS and that it takes
months to get them out. The only
thing to do was to keep the house
thoroughly aired.

all the scenery and natural advan-
tages, however, is the natural cour-
tesy and simple friendlinesS of the
Austrian people.
Few cities have such beauty,
within and without their gates, as
Vienna. Her flowery suburbs are
delightful, and just outside the city
stands one of the most glamorous
buildings in Central Europe, Schon-
brunn, the summer palace of the
former Austrian royal family.
SCHONBRUNN
Surrounded by fountained parks,
rose gardens and formal terraces,
it attracts tourists as much for it's
associations as for its beauty. It
has 1,431 rooms, of which 129 are
kitchens.
It was at Schonbrunn that the
Emperor Francis Joseph once en-.
tertained King Edward VII,
grandfather of Edward, Duke Of
Windsor. In Schonbrunn, one
can visit the rooms used by Ma
poleon and his ill-fated son, the
million-dollar room with its price
less Persian miniatures, and the
gorgeous silver salon.
In the stable is an array Of
historical equipages once used by
the great of Europe on historic
missions.
Quite a different suburb is Grin
zing, where the Viennese go for
the high festivities of the new-wine
season, and where their melodiouS
voices may be heard singing old
songs far into the flower-per'
fumed nights.
