PRAG U E, Aug. ~ U.N.S0.
The German Government de-
llivered a sharp verbal protest to
Czechoslovakia today over revival
Of wartime propaganda by the
Czech paper MorwaskolezSki
Denik.
The German minister called in
person at the foreign office, de-
manding punishment Of the edi-
tors responsible and effective
guarantees against a repetition.
Public Angered
The German press and public
were described as infuriated over
the papers action in raking up
wartime allegations that French
women were compelled to enter
German trenches for the "amuse-
ment of German soldiers" and
printing them under a headline
which read: "Not Soldiers but
BruteS."
Publication of the allegations
in the midst of the grave crisis
over the Sudeten question caused
indignation here as we'll as in
Germany.
With the Nazi-Czech crisis ap-
parently moving toward a climax,
the Czechoslovakian government
sought today to prevent unrest
among its uneasy population. and
at the same time looked hope
fully to England for support
against the German Reich.
Thousands of pamphlets dis
tributed by the Sudeten German
party, which seeks autonomy for
this country's 3,500.00O Germans,

BONNEVILLE SPEEDWAY
Utah, Aug. q U.N.S0.-Smiling
Capt. George E. T. Eyston, noted
English race driver, today estab
lished a new world land speed rec
ord when he shot his huge Thun
derbolt over the salt bed course
here at the terrific speed of 1854
miles an hour.
His official time was 347.49
miles an hour on the north run,
and 343.51 miles on the return
leg.
The captain surpassed his own
previous record of 311.42 miles an
hour by 34.O7 miles an hour.
Cut His Motors
The bIstering pace he set
through the measured mile on the
north run exceeded by "a miles
per hour the speed he made on
last Wednesdays trail, when a
faulty timing apparatus nullified
a world record.
Just before EySton cleared the
red flags marking the entrance tc
the measured mile it is believed
he cut his motors, but gunned
them again as he got one-half way
through the mile.
Nervousness over the timing
apparatus which was Sensed by the
huge crowd was erased when Art
PillSbury, head timer, announced
the electric traps at both entrance
and end of the measured mile
worked perfectly.
Sir Miles a Minute
Some idea Of the terrific speed
the Thunderbolt hurtled may be
conceived by its average pace OF
1912 seconds for the measured
mile, or approximately six miles
a minute.
The English speed monarch was
elated.
Naturally, I am very happy
the car worked perfectly and the
salt bed was excellent" he said.
The first person he congratu
lated was H. T. Plumb, research
engineer of the General Electric

At the office Of the Public Utili-
ties Commission today it was said
that more than half the drivers
had not filed their policies.
Richmond B. Keech, vice chair
man Of the Public Utilities Com.
mission, said that less than 800
drivers had complied with the
law up to noon today. In addition
to this number. the Diamond Taxi
cab Company, which operates a
fleet of nearly 1900 cabs, yester'
day presented Tax Collector
Chatham Towers with a check
for $4,000 to cover all the cabs
In its fleet.
Commissioner Melvin, Hazen
said today that no additional time
would be given the taxi drivers and
that all cabs on the streets after
midnight tomorrow without insur'
ance would have their license
tags confiscated.
"PIenty of Time"
"The taxicab drivers Of Wash
ington have had plenty Of time
to comply with the law and I
see no reason for extending the
time," Commissioner Hazen said.
"We are responsible for the en-
forcement of the law and it
would only be inviting criticism
If we permitted the cabs to go on
the streets without insurance
and some of them injured a per.
son."
At the office of the PUG plans
are being made to have printed
strickers placed on the wind
shields of taxicabs, showing that
they have complied with the law
The present plan is to have diff
ferent stickers put on the taxicabs
every week, because most Of the
taxi drivers in Washington are
paying for their insurance on the
weekly payment plan, and the in
surance companies are only pro
tecting them as they pay theil
premiums.

On THE heart of the Broadway district is one
of New York's famous restaurants. This
. is place where New Workers in the know
take their out-of-town guests to give them
good feed and let them feast their eyes on
some of the current dramatic stars. And here
l went to meet Zorina, the young ballerlna
who can not only dance like the angel she por-
trays in the spectacularly popular Il Married
an Angel" but who has also great ability as
an actress, vividly attractive face, and
beautiful body and legs.
Angel or not, Zorina in this off-stage hour
was hungry. For this was - we'll, lunch to
me, brunch if you are in California, but, by
any name, the first meal of the day to her. 1t

sweet, that Zorina discovered peach short
cake, the dessert which is one of Americas
big contributions to the culinary art.
Peach shortcake," she said, 'how is it
made?"
The chef himself followed on the trail of the
waiter to explain to Zorina the fine points of
peach shortcake.
These points are worth observing. have
eaten peach shortcake with many variations
and in many restaurants and private houses.
But this chefs shortcake seems to me to cap
all others.
Use biscuit dough, somewhat richer than
ordinary If the biscuit can be finished just
at the point when you are ready to serve the
shortcake, splendid! In any case the biscuit
should not only be warm, but slit in half
whether YOU use small biscuits for individual
servings or one large one, as in the illustra-
tion), generously buttered on the insides, and
just as generously piled with slices of peaches
on one half and then topped with the other
half. Then put the whole thing back in the
oven, for minute or two.
Meanwhile, you should have ready bowl
of sliced peaches that have stood in sugar
long enough to make plenty of juice, but not
to become discolored - neither should they
be ice-cold.
Now take the filled shorteake out of the
Evening star., 1938-09-04

oven, cover the top with firm, sizable peach
slices, and pour the sweet, peachy contents of
the bowl over the whole shortcake. As far as
whipped cream goes it is matter OF indlvld-
ual taste Some people like theirs with, and
some without So let everybody help himself
1t was this kind of shortcake that Zorina
ate that day for the first time. And in the
future she will say: when you are in America
be sure to have peach shortcake." Just as she
says: I'm Florence, ask for smoked ham with
fresh figs Or in Norway, you mustn't miss the
fish pudding and Risengrod, the cereal pud-
ding served with cinnamon and fruit juice.
In Norway, too, you always want to eat
smoked salmon - it is so good
Russian though her name sounds, Zorina is
really a Norwegian girl, who acquired the
name Vera Zorina when she became premiere
ballerina for the Monte Carlo Ballet Russo.
But she was born Brigtta Hartwig and grew
up in Norway, on the Norwegian food that
has become so deservedly popular in this
country Zorina still loves her native food.
especially when she can have it from the
kitchen of her grandmother.
The fish pudding of which Zorina speaks is
probably Norway's most famous dish and we'll
worth importing to the family table. So we
give recipe for it. Remember also that any
white fish may be substituted for haddock.

vestgation of the whole IVA setup
and its activities.
A commission appointed by a fed
eral court in Tennessee reported the
claims of Berry and his associates
were worthless because their prop
critics could not be probably operat-
ed commercially.
Chairman Morgan then issued a
long statement revealing that the
quarrel in the authority was due not
to differences between himself and
his colleagues over policy, but to his
efforts to obtain honesty, openness,
decency and fairness in govern
ment."
DR.. Morgan intimated that the
Berry Deal was only a part of the
issue of honesty and decency which
he had to face and that there was
lot more he would like to tell con-
gressional committee.
Lilienthal and Harcourt Morgan
retaliated with long defense state
ment, severely criticizing the chair
man and suggesting that he retire
from the commission. President
Roosevelt made public this state
ment, leading observers to believe
he rather sided with them. But
Chairman Morgan replied that he
would not resign under fire and in
letter to Representative Maverick
Of Texas reiterated his demand for
an investigation by congress. Reso-
buttons for such an inquiry were in
troduced, and Senator Norris, pa
tron saint of iva and similar prof.
ects, sought either to smother the
proposed probe or to see that it
was carried on by friendly hands.
In the midst of the rumpus Lilien-
thai announced that the government
is willing to buy the properties of
private electric power companies in
the iva area provided the owners
will sell them at sacrifice prices.
The utility officials interested we're

said that if the proposed purchases
were carried out private power en-
terprises would be eliminated in

TIPS to
Gardeners
CHOOSING Flowers

IF YOU want flowers that come
into bloom early, plant seeds OF
nasturtium, Virginia stock. zinnia,
sunfiower, bachelors button and
alyssum.
Among the easiest flowers to
grow are the nasturtium. alyssum
and California poppy.
To achieve brilliant celor in the
garden with a minimum of effort,
grow petunia and zinnia. They
require some care early in the
season, but once established they
grow luxuriantly, and nothing
provides more color.
If snapdragons and asters,
though among your flower favor
ties, are barred from your garden
because of the prevalence of rust
and wilt, return them to their de-
served places by getting rust an6
wilt resistant varieties frOTn your
seed dealer.
In your rock garden, try some
of the following: African daisy,
linaria, lobelia, statice, verbens
and Virginia stock, among the an
nuals; and columbine, English
daisy, forget-me-not and Iceland
poppy, of the perenniaB.
