PIE FAV0RTTE MEAL ORDER, SERVE IT MORE OFTEN

WHAT'S THE "male order" for
dessert in restaurants +? It's pie
five times in six. And at home
there is nothing like a fragrant,
flaky-crusted pie to make a
mans mouth water.
Women like pie, too, SO do not
overlook them in your rush to
please the men. Select the kinds
the whole family will enjoy and
be sure that your pastry is light,
fresh and digestible.
I have some pie crust tips for
housewives, CLEANED from the
pastry chef of a restaurant IA
nous for its pies. They may
surprise you, but they work.
In the first place this chef says
that the idea that you must have
your ingredients ice cold to start
with is absurd. He mixed his
flour and shortening in advance
and let it stand overnight at room
temperature, then used cool milk
or water for binding them to-
gether.
/ asked him about custard pies
which cause so much trouble for
many home cooks. He pointed to
rows and rows of pastry-lined
tins sitting on racks near his
ovens, and explained that they
were drying out" overnight for
pumpkin and custard Filings in
the morning. The pies are baked
in a hot oven about 10 minutes
then the heat decreased and the
baking continued at a low tenn
perature until the custard filling
is set. The bottom crust is flaky
and crisp.

"NIAN CANNOT make an egg,
but the clever cook can certainly
make lot of things with it," So
says an amusing leaflet called
"The Proud Story of the Humble
Egg" The French, who know a
bit about cooking, say: "The chef
is the slave of the egg"
Certainly every homemaler
knows how versatile a food an
egg is. In addition, it does eight
distinct things to make baking
easier and to make everyday
dishes more appetizing. The egg
can leaven, by forming bubbles;
it can check capitalization; it
can emulsify; it can thicken; it
can coat; it can bind other inere-
dents together; it can clarity;
it can garnish.
Any of the following egg
recipes will make your meals
more tempting:

DEMOCRATS PLAN
 STATE CAMPAIGN
Young Groups Meet in Wa= terbury, Vets Convene
 in New Haven

On the eve of the meeting of the advisory committee of the Demo- cratic party of Connecticut to be held Monday at Hotel Taft. New Haven, as provided by the Demo- cratic state central committee at meeting here in January, Young Democratic club officers met last night at Hotel Elton and sought to effect peace of two factions in the membership of clubs.
 While the way to peace was point ed by State Democratic Chairman J. Francis Smith. principal speaker at the dinner last night, the matter of single convention, rather than the separate meetings which were indicated as probable by the split now rests with the "insurgent" leaders. Joseph De Paolo, of Meri- dent, president of the insurgent state organization, and Miss Rather inc Quinn, of Hartford, executive secretary of the regular organiza- tion, were appointed to discuss de- tails of amalgamation, and report back at later meeting.
 Plans for the fall campaign and for convention dates and sites will be discussed Monday night at the New Haven meeting at which Chair man Smith and National Commit teeman David E. FitzGerald will be in attendance. There probably will be discussion of the attempted merg- ing of the Young Democratic clubs factions so that full representation of all Young Democratic clubs in the state will be arranged for the reg ular organizations convention May 6-7 at New Haven.

AIR MAIL WEEK PROGRAM READY
Postmaster GOOde of New Haven State Chairman
 of Celebration

Connecticut's participation in Ma tional Air Mail Week, May Is to q, is to cover a wide variety of in terests and will undoubtedly prove decidedly helpful factor in popu- larizing this important phase of the government mail system.
 Meeting in New Haven yesterday with Postmaster Patrick J. Goode, state chairman of air mail week, the various committee heads under his direction formulated plans for an intensive campaign which will be participated in by newspapers, theaters, radio, schools, civiv and fraternal organizations, service clubs, and manufacturing and bus mess groups. These will give freely of their time and talents towards making their neighbors more con- Scious of the boon of air mail, tend ing to materially reduce the annual deficit that Uncle Sam incurs in maintaining the postal air lines, now an indispensable part of the mail carrier service.
 Although air mail is used by many individuals and business firms who have learned from experience the value of quick delivery of cor reSpondence, careful survey of the country has shown that a large percentage of the population is un- acquainted with even the funda- mental advantages of mail trans portation by air. For example, many people do not know that letter by first class mail. weighing an ounce or less, can be sent anywhere in the United States or Canada for six cents, an insignificant expense com pared with any other means of transmitting the same number of words with equal dispatch.
 Another fact little appreciated is that regular stamps may be used on air mail letters, which need only to be marked Via Air Mail" to go the ether route. Other angles not generally realized are that special delivery, registration, c. O. D. and all other of the usual forms in con- nection with the regular mail serv- ice do not vary when tied up with air mail. Neither are special en- velopes required, as some people think.
 It is such facts as those mention ed as well as other important details that will be imparted freely to the public during the forthcoming sev- eral weeks of air mail propaganda.

Scarcely egging the 59- year-0ld Sauls on was his OppO- nent, Perry Corwin, B, who quit after gobbling only AZ. Corwin is shown above while he was still doing manfully on the first two dozen sOft-bOiled delicacies. Cor win, from the country, was both- cred by the large crowd, his sup porters claimed. But Corwin him. self, protesting that he did the best he could said: "Them mOv- ing picture men and photog- raphers flashing lights in my face got me bothered" Sauls, as good a snowman as competitor, brought the house down midway in the battle by pulling live hen from a box by his table and bringing forth an egg. Corwin's supporters threw in the napkin when it be- came apparent that any attempt to keep pace with Sauls would probably prove fatal.

LIFE OF PIONEER
 RADIO FEATURE
Jason Lee, Veteran Mis- sionary, Remembered in
 Methodist Broadcast

The story of Jason Lee, mission ary pioneer of the Old Oregon ter ritory. and of several famous and historyS making Methodist leaders provides the basis for the series of broadcasts which the Million Unit Fellowship Movement of the Meth odist Episcopal church is presenting weekly over radio station WELL in New Haven, Conn.
 This radio feature is in keeping with the Million Unit Fellowship Movements forward-looking pur- pose of revitalizing general reli- gious consciousness and interest.
 The programs are being heard every week at o'clock on Tuesday afternoons over WELL.
 This series of dramatized episodes from Methodist missionary history, prepared by the Million Unit Eel loWship Movement under the title "Heralds of Destiny" is designed to illustrate the hair-raising ad- ventures typical of the experiences of missionaries of any denomina- tion.
 The John s. Burnett program tells how this Grand Old Man of the Mountains" outwitted feudists and moonshiners. many times risk ing his life to do so. The Brother Van episode re-creates the scene during which missionary sings hymns in an old salon to a crowd of tavern gamblers and makes them like it.
 Other programs concern Bishop James E. Thoburn of India who is awakened one night by a cobra in his room; and of Fl Vergel, the ex- perimental farm in Chile, and how it was saved from destruction.
