Of INTEREST TO
THE HOUSEWIFE

Orange Fritters.-Separate two
large navel oranges into sections.
Dip sections in batter and fry in
deep fat. Serve as accompani-
ment to roast lamb or praised pork
chops.
Two Buttons and a Hair Pin
In most cases that's all you need
to keep the loose pieces from fall
ing out of a shattered window
pane in your home or car. Put
one button on each side of the hole
in the glass, run the hair pin
through the buttons and twist the
end until it is tight.
A Delight for the Children
Next time your children want
party, cook cornstarch custard
and fill cones. Alternate every
spoonful or so with currant jelly
and finish with jelly on top.
CaulifOwer and Eggs.-Butter a
pie dish and break into it eggs.
Half cook small caulifower and
break into neat pieces. Arrange
these round the eggs and season
with salt and pepper. Pour over
tablespoonful milk and place l
ounce butter in small pieces on
the top. Sprinkle 2 ounces grated
cheese over, and bake 1920 min
utes in moderate oven.
Lattice Topped Pies.-Fruit and
berry pies with lattice-style tops
require less baking time than the
regular full-crust toppers.
Good Airing.-When you have
the windows open in the morning
to air the beds before making,
open the clothes closet doors wide
and let the current of air run
through them. It will prevent
them from getting that close
stuffy odor so undesired where our
clothes are concerned.
To Wash Curtains.-Lace cur
tains before being washed for the
first time should be soaked for an
hour or two in cold water to which
two tablespoons of table salt have
been added. This removes dress
ing in curtains and makes them
much easier to launder.
Saves Time on Wash Day.-An
old wood plane is just the thing to
convert bar soap into shavings
that dissolve quickly. Turn the
plane upside down over large
jar or other container and work
the soap back and forth across the
sharp edge.

mise, before it came to a head
in the tragic war between the
States.
In the campaign of 1895, I
said:
"Of course we will continue
our efforts in behalf of the
farmers Of America. With their
continued cooperation we will
do all in our power to end the
piling up of huge SurpIuseS
which spelled ruinOuS prices
for their crops.

1--WE will persist in successful
action for better land use, for
reforeStatiOn for better
marketing facilities for farm
commodities, for a definite re-
ductiOn of farm tenancy, for en-
cOuragement of farmer cOOpera-
tiveS, for crop insurance and a
stable food supply. For all these
things we have only just begun
to fight"
Neither individually nor as a
party can we postpone and run
from that fight on advice of
defeatist lawyers.
But defy anyone to read the
majority opinion invalidating
the AAA and tell us what we
can do for agriculture in this
session of the Congress with
any reasonable certainty that
what we do will not be nullified
as unconstitutional.
The farmers were not the
only people in distress in 1882.
There were millions of workers
in industry and in commerce
who had lost their jobs, and
more millions whose jobs did
not return them and their fam
lilies enough to live on decently.
The Democratic Administra-
ton and the Congress made a
gallant, sincere effort to raise
wages, to reduce hours, to
abolish child labor, to elimin-
ate unfair trade practices.
We tried to establish machin-

In still other countries, govern

Democracy in many lands has
failed for the time being to

become so fed UP with futile de-

not to let it fail!
Nevertheless, I cannot tell you

PLAYERS FAILURE TO LET CLUBEEAD
 GIVE LOFT TO BALL CAUSES TOPPING
By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

Were it not for a lucky break on the ninth hole during the first round of the 193O Open played at the nIterlachen Country Club in Minneapolis, Bobby Jones might not have scored his golfing grand slam.
 Jones was two strokes ahead of Macdonald Smith when he topped his spoon second into the middle of big lily pond. It looked as if his valuable two stroke lead would be erased.
 But as the ball hit the water it skipped like a fiat stone, hopped out onto the fairway and stopped 30 yards short of the green.
 Jones clipped close enough to get down in one putt and regis tered a birdie four that easily might have been seven. Jones finished the tournament in 287.
