ORE AND AT

The United States Power Squad

Grafton tomorrow in the House OF Rep
resentatives. is seeking to become q
corporate body with Federal charter.
Already approved by the Coast
Guard, the United States Navy, the
Coast and Geodetic Survey and the
Bureau of Marine Navigation, the bill
stands a good chance of passing this
Congress. 1t appears proper that with
the remarkable growth OF the squad
ron, the largest organization for
yachtsmen in the country, it should
be recognized as an important factor
in the development of better navi-
gators and shippers.
Included in the corporate body of
% members, who by the bill would act
as its first governing board, are two
well-known local yachtsmen, Daniel

Capt. Bilgeboard Smith, after re-
peatedly being requested to give the
waiting boating world more Of his
crusty advice on yachting lore, finally
was tracked down In the engine COM
partment Of his Dutch sloop, Zuider

engine final tune-up for the opening

Knowing Bilgie as we do, for his

a simple little question. we give you,
with no little misgivings. his remarks
on putting yacht into commission.

Why Be So Particular?
And there is no reason to wait for
your boats bottom to be painted be-
fore starting the topsides. Suppose a
little white does drip down, they'll
paint over it anyway. There's nothing
stopping the amateur from striking

Acreage cuts, plus wheat loans, are
now automatic and mandatory un-

Emergency council, presided over
the conference and read Mr.. Roose-

Though he did not comment on
the effect that the new wages and
hours law may have on southern
industry, he did say that one Of the
great problems in the South is that
of labor and employment. He spoke
also Of problems growing out of
the new industrial era and, again,
of absentee ownership of the new
industries"
1T is my conviction" the Presi-

South presents right now the ma

lem-the nations problem, not
merely the South's. For we have
an economic unbalance in the nation
as a whole. due to this very condi-

~ ATURALLY, I am accustomed
' to seeing exhibits of delicious
and interesting foods in the Exper-
imental Kitchen Laboratory that l
maintain in New York City. But
in all the years of it's existence, it
has never been a buster nor a
more inviting place than during
the last few weeks when the home
economists on my staff have been
busily testing and judging the
many fine cake recipes SUBJ
mitted by readers of this paper in
our recent Cake Recipe Contest.
Imagine, if you can, a big cheer
full and colorful kitchen filled
with long tables upon which row
after row of handsome cakes
were arranged-proudly testifying
to the skill of the homemakers
who cherish the recipes from
which they were made.
Every Type of Cake Entered.
A whole tableful of white cakes,
with and without icing. Chocolate
and cocoa cakes of every possible
type. All manner of cakes, fra
grant and delicious spice, ice
cream, honey, caramel, maple
syrup, nut, date, pineapple, or
ange, lemon, butterscotch, jam,
banana, raisin, oatmeal, cocoanut
and marble cakes. Cakes baked
in long sheets, square cakes,
round cakes, layer cakes. Old
fashioned cakes from grand
mothers recipe books. Very mod
ern and up-to-date cakes. And
even one that was said to have
been a favorite with General Rob
ert E. Lee. I've never seen any
thing to compare with the cOllec-
ton, even at the biggest State
Fairl
Do you wonder that the home
economists on my staff required
several weeks to pick the win
ners? For with such a wealth of
exceptional cakes from which to
choose, selecting those for top
honors, was indeed difficult.
The cake bakers were trained
for their work. They followed the
recipes precisely. They measured
accurately. They checked oven
temperatures.
