 Shipping Memorial
 Senators passed today, in much amended form, Representative H H. McCutcheon's House joint mem- orial No. l which would extend pro visions of the Jones merchant mar inc act to Alaska. The memorial asks Congress to make it lawful for ship ment of merchandise over Canadian rail and water lines between the United States and Alaska ports. pro- vided similar privileges are accord ed American vessels in Canadian waters.
 The reciprocal provision, inserted at motion of Senator Joe Hoffman, was attacked by Senators LeRoy Sullivan and Victor c. Rivers as stripping the memorial of all effect. Senate President Norman R. Walker ruled out of order a motion by Sen ator Sullivan to amend the bill by striking the reciprocity clause, hold ing that since the clause had been inserted by the Senate by amend ment, it could not be removed unless were moved. When Senator Sullivan appealed from the ruling, the chair was sustained by a vote of six to two.

 AP Feature Service Writer


 Mothers of growing children would do well to keep a snack shelf, some special ledge in the kitchen for be- tween-meal munching That will take some of the bother out of life when son John and his hungry playnates romp in at the door for a bite.
 Spreads that can be applied to bread or crackers in a minute please the youngsters. And they'll take the edge off ravenous young appetities without spelling their relish for lunch or supper.
 A Shelf Selection
 Here's good selection: creamed peanut butter and raisins, cottage cheese and jam, a mild cream cheese or assorted jellies. They're all tempting with white, Graham, brown or raisin bread. Keep the makings on the shelf and let the children spread their own. Slightly sweet buns are popular. An old fashioned favorite is to cover white or Graham crackers with butter and jelly.
 And don't stint on milk. Keep the refrigerator well stocked, since milk is one of the most economical health building foods.
 Fruits, too, are essential Apples, bananas, oranges, pears and other kinds give refreshing uplift to the tired youngster. Possibly fruit bas- ket stored in the refrigerator will interest the child in making several selections. Natural foods, rather mild favored, are recommended to de- velop good dietary habits.
 Fruit juices for warmer days make good partners for plain cookies, gingerbread or sandwich combina- tions.
 Sweets should not be the main part of the between-meal bite. But you can provide little as a "des- sert."
 Cookies cut in fancy shapes, or dropped and decorated with raisins and small candies or cake batter baked in individual cups add a fes- tive touch. Plain gingerbread spread with simple white icing is quite a treat. Keep away from rich cakes with elaborate frostings and filings. Encourage children to like plain cakes such as angel food or sponge even if they have to be "dolled" up a little with bits of frostings. They look ornate but are easily digested.
 For surprises, bowls of popped corn, peanuts, raisins, prulies, dates and small candy and nut bars, placed on a shelf will delight a youngster and make him pleased to share with any of his guests.
 Keep a note book in a special place and jot down in it the foods to be used for the childrens pick ups. The children consult this book and proceed to enjoy the snack.
 Here is a Brazil crumb cake re- cipe.: 21s cups flour, 1h cups brown sugar, firmly packed, F teaspoon salt, F cup shortening, ? teaspoons baking powder, F teaspoon soda, 1 E teaspoons cinnamon, l egg, we'll beaten, T cup sour milk or butter milk, si cup ground Brazil nuts.
 Mix flour, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture looks like corn meal. Reserve three quarters of cup of this mixture for topping. To remainder, add baking powder, soda and one teaspoon of cinnamon and mix well. Stir in well beaten egg and sour milk or buttermilk and mix well. Turn mixture into two greased. eight-inch pans. Mix re- served flour shortening mixture with remaining cinnamon and Brazil nuts and sprinkle over batter. Bake in a hot oven l400 degrees F.) for 25

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. 20.-It was the sixth birthday of Ray Davis, son of the Rev F. D. Davis, and one of his most prized gifts was shiny new wagon.
 Ray went out to play in the aft ernoon. As he was seated in the new wagon his brother, Donald, going on seven, gave it push. It sped down the driveway of the Davis home as Ray shouted in glee.
 Around the corner came a truck. Wagon and boy spun under the rear wheels of the machine and were crushed
