A famous cook has said that when you take butter, eggs and milk away from the kitchen you have no Kitchen at all. Butter is enjoyed because it adds distinctive flavor to simple dishes and we enjoy but- ter the more when we realize that it is the most practical everyday method of fortifying the diet with a good share of the required vita- min A. For buoyant health, rather than passable health, for the de- velopHnent and growth of young children, this vitanin is essential. Adequate vitannin A intake appears to lessen the severity, thus short ening the duration of colds. The service which the dairy COW ren- ders in consuming large amounts of green feed and endowing richly the butterfat with vitamin A obtained from these feeds has few parallels. Indeed. butter, egg yolk and milk fortified with vitamin D are the few common foods which supply vitamin D to the diet. This vitamin along with calcium and phosphorus is necessary for the normal develop nnent of bones and teeth.
 Foanny Sauce is delicious served with dessert gingerbread, chocolate cake, and even plum pudding!
 FOamy Sauce
 1-2 cup sugar
 1-2 cup butter
 2 teaspoons milk
 1 eggs beaten
 1-2 teaspoon vanilla
 Stir the sugar, butter and milk together in 8 saucepan over low heat until well blended. Keep warm. Just before serving add the beaten egg and vanilla and stir well. As topping for cooked vege- tables Hollandaise Sause is truly an addition.

Award of a Papal Medal by Pope Plus XI to Miss Catherine Dillon of Hartford is announced in this weeks issue of the Catholic Trans cript. The medal is in the form Of a golden cross, inscribed Pro Ec- clesia Et Pontifice (For Church and Pope).
 The medal was presented to Miss Dillon on behalf of the Pope by Most Reverend Maurice F. Mo- Auliffe, Bishop of Hartford.
 The Transcript says:
 This Cross was created as 1t now stands for the golden jubilee of the priestly ordination of Pope Leo XIII, which was observed on July IT, 1888. Since that time it has been awarded both to men and to women-those who had aided conspicuously the great works over which the ruling Pon- tiff presides. Gifts of this kind have been made from the middle ages down to the present day. They were given rather frequent ly during the crusades to mili- tary men who had won special honors on the field.
 It was in July, 1888, that Pope Leo XIII instituted the decoration Pro Ecclesia ct Pontif1ce, but it was not made permanent decora- tion till October, 1898. Like every other Roman decoration it is artis- tic to the last degree. What fol- lows here may be counted an offi- cial description of the Cross:
 'The medal is a cross made octangular in form by heur-de-lis fixed in angles o1 the cross in 8 special manner. The extremities of the cross are of slightly patonce form. In the center of the cross is a small medal with an image of its founder, and encircling the image are the words LAO XIII P. M. ANNO x (TENTH YEAR OF HIS PONTIFICATE). On the ob- verse side are the Papal emblemS in the center, and in the circle sur- rounding the emblemS the motto: PRO DEO EFT PONTFTCE is stamped. On the obverse surface of the branches of the cross are, Comets,-which with the fleur-de- lis form the coat of arms of the .Pecci family. Qeo KITS famliy). On the reverse side are stamped the words, PRIDE Cleft branchD; KAL. (top branch); JANUAR. (right branch); 1888 Cat the foot). The ribbon is purple, with delicate lines of white and yellow on each

BELFAST POLICE
 CHASE PLOTTERS
Irish Republican Army Is Charged With Attempt-
 ing to TerrOrize

Belfast, Northern Ireland, Dec. 23-(UP)-Police patrols armed with rifles halted automobiles and motor trucks on every road out of Belfast today, seeking fleeing mem- bers of the Irish Republican army" organization who fled after the government announced disclosure of a big terroristic plot. Detectives searched for a secret arms and ex- plosives depot which they believed the Republicans had assembled in the city. It was understood that more than 100 Republican leaders were held in Belfast prison as the result of police raids, and the au- thorities were believed to be con- sidering the possibility of alterna- tive accommodation to prevent overcrowding-possibly in a prison ship such as was used in 1921.
 Many In Hiding
 Many lesser known Republican leaders were in hiding today, as successive police raids uncovered additional documents and resulted
 
 in additional arrests. Police guards were doubled at public buildings as government sources asserted that Viscount Craigavon, prime minister of Northern Ireland, and other ca binet ministers were to be attacked as part of Republican terroristic plot. Sir R. Dawson Bates, home secretary, forbade circulation of Re- publican newspapers. The govern ment announced its discovery of 8 plot yesterday after police had ar- rested 34 Republican leaders in ear- ly morning raids. It was alleged that the Republicans intended to attack parliament buildings, the law courts, police headquarters, the city hall and the customs office.

 Very few women in the United States, and not one in Connecti- cut, have rendered such conspic- uous service to the Church as the Hartford recipient of this papal decoration. She has inherited a large fortune and she has disposed of much of it for the benefit of her fellow men. The new St. Francis hospital wing which will be the children's building, will be one of the finest to be found anywhere. Miss Dillon has dedicated it to the memory of her brothers, the late Charles Dillon, and the late Ed ward Dillon. This is proper be- cause it was from them that the donor inherited the wherewithal to erect this magnificent building.
