That Great American Dessert
The Crust Either Makes or Breaks Pie

Z for one crust should be rolled at
one time. The under crust should
be as thin as can be handled and
slightly larger than the pan to
be covered.
To line a pie plate, fold the
rolled dough in half and gently
lay on the tin. Unfold, and for an
open pie, pinch the extra dough
between the thumb and finger to
make standing fluted edge. For
a double crust, always moisten the
edge of the lower crust and pinch
or crease together with the upper.
A few Sits in the center Of the
upper crust will allow the steam
to escape.
If the pie is very juicy, a few
pieces Of macaroni may be put in
these slots to prevent running
over. Ordinarily a little flour,
cornstarch or tapioca will do the
trick.
HOT OVEN NEEDED
Pastry should be baked in a very
hot oven. For a shell, bake at
$50 degrees until lightly Drowned
Q2 to Is minutes). Fresh fruit
pies require a 425-degree oven for
20 minutes, then 20 to 80 minutes
at $50 degrees.
An untitled shell for a custard
pie should be baked in a 45O-degree
oven for IL minutes. Reduced
temperature to 300 degrees. Fill
shell and replace in the oven and
bake Tor about 80 minutes or I'M
til a knife inserted in the center
comes out clean. Twenty minutes
at Ais degrees is needed for pump
kin pies. The temperature is then
reduced to $50 degrees and baked
about 40 minutes longer. Test as
for cuStard pie.

There was a time when eggs
we're largely a breakfast delicacy

their way to the supper table as
an omelet or souffle.

Toast 1t When You're in Doubt
\ Leftover Bread Makes for Many Delicacies

It's surprising how often the
toasting process helps to make a
delicious dish out of a rather sad
and droopy leftover.
If in doubt-toast it. That's a
good rule for the cook.
Not only is leftover bread made
delicious and edible by toaSting,
but all manner of tasty tidbits may
be made by combining various
foods with bread strips or rolled
sandwiches which are then
toasted.
HOW 1T HELPS MENU
Here are some of the ways in
which toasting helps the daily
menu: .
Bread that is several days old
can be used to make maple toast
for breakfast. Toast the bread on
one side. Butter the untoasted side
and spread with maple syrup; dust
with cinnamon and place under
the broiler until bubbly and
Drowned.
A new type French toast is made
by serving a sandwich of the
slices with a layer of well-spiced
apple sauce between them. Season
the apple sauce with cinnamon
and nutmeg and serve the French
toast very hot with maple syrup.
Here is a crunchy treat. Cream
grated American cheese with but
ter. Spread on all sides of strips
of leftover bread; roll in poppy
seeds. Brown in moderate oven
1850 degrees FL. Serve with soup.

L|FEGUARD TUBE
B[OWOUTS ANSWER
Demonstration Shows Safe
ty of Tube in Such
Emergency

The safety in a Goodyear Life
Guard tube was graphically demon
.strated yesterday afternoon on North
Chestnut when a comparison of the
regular and Lifeguard tubes was
made, both being blown out with dy-
Mantle before throng of people that
lined both sides of the street at the
demonstration
Travelling at a speed of 20 miles
per hour, regular tube was blown
out and the automobile was hard to
steer and hold in the street. But with
the Lifeguard tube, the automobile,
travelling at 70 miles an hour, con-
tinued for two blocks, turned around
and came back to the scene of the
blow out with yet enough air in the
tire to travel some distance.
This demonstration was on rear
wheels.
The daredevil driver took his au-
tomobile over railroad spikes embed
ded in a steel plate, the spikes rip
ping the tires on both wheels, yet the
car continued on it's way.
The Lifeguard tube is really two
tubes in one, the second to hold the
weight of the car when the first gives
away, letting the air seep slowly
through valve while the car is be-
ing brought to a stop.
Those riding in the demonstration
hardly noticed the blowouts with

MEASLES NOT TO
REDUCE TEACHERS
Secretary of School Com

Raleigh. EprI 5.-There is practi-
cally no danger that North Carolina's s
school will lose teachers because of
the prevalence of measles in th
State, Lloyd Griffin, secretarT of tl.
school commission, said today
There is absolutely nothing in the
situation to get excited about" hs
said. There is no chance of teacher
allotments being seriously affected be
cause there are few more measles
cases than in previous years."
Some apprehensive principals and
teachers have called or written The
commission contending that they
might be forced to close their schools
in order to forestall such drop in
average attendance that the 1929
teacher allotment might be less than
that for the current year.
These principals are getting excite7
without sufficient cause, Griffin sail.
He pointed out that the teachers are
allotted on sasis of average attend
ance over an. eight months period, AMI
that absence of children with measles,
even with the disease a bit more pro-
valent than usual, will be almost neg
ligible in it's effect on the whole year,
showing.
Even when his attention was called
to the fact that State Board or Healt,,
reports show that more than five
times as many reportable diseases sof
all kinds are being listed weekly this
year than in the corresponding pc
riods of last year, the school commi';-
sion secretary refused to get worked
up about the matter. He continued -
maintain that the situation is about
the same as in other years and that
there is nothing for principals or
teachers to worry about in the matt -
of 1899 teacher allotments.
He did not say so-in fact he main
tained that the rigid allotment rules
will be enforced; but there are indi-
cations that in special instances they
may be relaxed.
