If you have extra juice left over when picking peaches, save 1t; 1t makes an excellent ingredient in mince pies or steamed buildings when the winter season comes around.
 Cream pie filling or custard will not become watery if you scald the milk before using it. And If you want boiled custard to keep with out seperating, omit the whites of eggs; by using the yolks only you i'll have smooth, velvety cream that will stand up wonderfully.
 Always hold onions under the cold water faucet or under water in bowl while you are peeling them and they will not make you weep. This also deadens the odor of on- ions in the kitchen and on the hands.
 Cake Icing is improved In texture by beating a teaspoon of vinegar into the frosting when the flavor ing is added. This will prevent the icing from becoming brittle or crack ing when 1t is cut.
 Berry pies are done when the juice bubbles out of the sits made in the crust and is of the consist ency of rather thick syrup. Fruit, such as cherries, plums, pineapple, should be cooked for five minutes with the required amount of sugar before putting them into the pie.

Whether 1t is a picnic in the woods or a luncheon for a June bride that is being planned, there Is a place on the menu for cream cheese.
 Nearly all cheese and cracker trays include cream cheese, one of the Neufchatel group, but there are many uses for it other than as spread for crackers. With chopped olives, pimientos, green peppers, nuts, pickles, parsley, or watercress cream cheese makes a tasty sand wich filling. For salads, 1t is often used to stuff peppers, celery, toma- toes, prunes, dates, figs, peaches, pears or cherries or a ball of 1t is placed on slice of pineapple.
 Used for desserts, cream cheese harmonize in flavor with a sweet. Serve 1t with preserves, jelly, honey, ginger pears, orange marmalade or apricot and pineapple jam.
 The following recipes are sug- gested by the United States depart ment of Agriculture. The first makes an excellent luncheon or supper dish when served with bacon. It may be used also on small rounds of toast or on crackers for after noon tea. Frozen cheese with fruit may be served on lettuce as a con- bination salad and dessert. A whole, preserved fig on a round of the frozen cheese iy particularly at- tractive combination The same mix ture unfrozen can be used as a filling for charlotte russo made with lady fingers or sponge cake.

Seeks NeIUsmen's Aid

THE NEWSMEN have been
l. Sheppard's committee ex-of-
ficio. He meets with them in
press conference twice a day.
Generally he takes them into
his confidence and asks their
advice on procedure.
For example, the now famous
committee queStionnaire drew a
very annoying response from
Robert A. Taft, candidate for
the COP. senatorial nomina-
ton in Ohio. Mr.. Taft reported
only his own personal expendl-
lures. When pressed by the
committee as to why he had
omitted his other related organ
ization expenditures he lpdl-
Gated he did not interpret the
QUESTIONABLE to include those.
In a subsequent press confer
ence, a newsman suggested the
committee seemed to have left
out a very important question,
namely whether other persons
or organizations had made any
expenditures in behalf of a can
didate. It was true. The com.
mittee had never thought OF
that. The questionnaire only
asked whether other persons
or organization within your
knowledge and consent" had re-
ceived anything. but not
whether they had spent any
thing.
The committee is drawing a
new QUESTIONABLE, which will
correct the defect, but which
. will still fall far short Of the
Jim Reed method Of cross-ex-
animation which developed the
expenditures causing an Illinois
and a Pennsylvania Senator to
lose their seats.
The Washington times., 1938-08-08

vestigating committee ever Gre
ated. Most Of the members
would not disturb a senatorial
flea.
Their main trouble right now
is to get senatorial candidates
to answer their mailed inquir-
les about how much is being
spent, etc. But the heaviest
real trouble of the committee
is to get a quorum. Chairman
Sheppard, as unaSSuming q
man as there is in politics, and
the antithesiS of Jim Reed, the
famed Senate primary prosecu-
tor, has given up all hope Of
vacation. He is sweltering con-
tinuously in the Capital humid
ity. However, there are four
others on the committee and
the only time the Little Shep-
pard of Kingdom Come can
take any action is when one Of
them drops into town for q day
or two.

Stokes Charges Ignored

WHETHER any public hear
w ings will be held by the
Senate primary policemen IS
still in doubt. It is a tickllsh
business to be a democratic
policeman in Democratic prl"
maries. Imagine everyone's en-
barrassment, for instance, if the
committee had publicly investl-
gated the charges made by
Thomas L. Stokes, widely-knoWn
and respected nonpartisan Wash.
ington newsnan, and had found
them to be true. They involved
the use of WPA influence in be-
half of Senate Leader Barkley
in Kentucky. =,
The committee just ignored
the matter and let WPA Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins in
vestigate his own organization
and decide the charges were
untrue. It worked out m ore
pleasantly that way for every
one concerned-Mr. Barkley, the
committee Of Senators. and for
Mr.. Hopkins.

DEPUBILCAN Senator Hale's
~ announcement that he will
not run again Gin 1940) in
Maine was apparently just to
clear the air for his Republican
brethren up there to get to-
gether on another man. Hale
does not like Representative
Brewster, who might get tn e

the story told authoritatively
here.

but it seems we have gone step further down
the ladder.
Why don't they open all the Fairgrounds in the
schools until they can get enough play space, so
that every child in the District can be protected?
There should be different zoning where children
live. and these wealthy bus companies should be
perfectly willing to donate free the service of a
bus a day to take the children to and from the
different Fairgrounds and beaches
1t just goes to show that until we get a vote in
the District the poor will not get fair deal and
the little children will be left unprotected and
uncared for.

MAJOR BROWN, chief Of police, is doing his
AVA best. He is one of the finest men that it has

policemen to guard this beautiful city of ours.

We should be mighty proud Of our police force,
and 1t is crying shame that the Major isn't given
more men, so that each policeman can at least
have little time off to rest and be with his
family.
don't know anything about the New York
situation except what read in the papers. Ger
tainly, have always heard Commissioner Valen-
tine is splendid man, but there must be some
thing rotten in Denmark when u policemen
have deliberately killed themselves in the last
four years. don't believe there has ever been
such a record in New York.
Would Rope Off Streets
NOV, don't misunderstood me. am not blam-
AN Ing the commissioner of police. These men
may have been poor weak souls who had taken
graft and could not stand the idea of a show
down coming soon, and they took the easiest way
out Whatever is the cause, it ought to be in
vestigated and exposed. The New York police,
up to date. have always had splendid record
They have big force and they don't have to 60
on like our poor souls do in the District.
The good our Major Brown does with the
Boys Clubs, his fairness and his patience with his
men, is something that very few people realize.
Let the police rope off every single street where
there is crowd of children playing at once. Get
busy and open the school Fairgrounds until new
and absolutely necessary ones are built so the
children of this city can be safe.
And you mothers and fathers who have gone
through these terrible tragedies in the last few
weeks, remember I went through it myself. I
know what you are suffering and sympathize with
you deeply. Time will help you, and you must
keep the faith in your heart that your darling
child is safe and happy, always going onwards
and upwards in some beautiful way tired mortals
know nothing about. Some day you will find
your loved one waiting for you. You will all be
together at last happy and free, your misery and
loneliness thing of the past.
