LESS COOKING TIME

Ways of keeping the cooking time
of Jelly to minimum are to add
only enough water to the fruit to
cook it soft, to use large, fiat
bottomed pan for cooking, and to
combine fruit juice and sugar for
the final boiling without preheating
the juice.

Afraid of Facts

Afraid of Facts
 'Is it that a person takes drugs because he is afraid to face the facts of life?" asked Murray.
 T suppose so," was the short re- ply.
 "Was your past life so rotten yor hated to face it?" asked Murray.
 ''No, it wasn't" was the firm reply
 Do you want to know why took my first drugs?" asked Mack. enzie of Murray.
 The cross-examiner turned away from the witness and said, NO, don't"
 The fact that a dope addict has two personalities, his real self, and psychopathic personality, was called to the attention of the witness by Murray.
 T may know it myself, but ] doubt if many others would" re- torted Mackenzie.
 The witness said that he was ga sick man" when he got up in the morning, until I had my dope"
 Before I got it I couldn't walk to The Elton," he said.
 When you got dope in your sys- tenn you got illusions of grandeur ,' said Murray. To which Mackenzie replied, Some"
 He denied the inference of Mur- ray however, that he could imagine you were the King of Bavaria"
 To Be Al0lie
 Mackenzie said that when he was "hopped up" he wanted ito be alone and get out of sight"
 'Is that why you went to the Crows Nest?" demanded Murray But the question went unanswered
 Murray read from the hospital record a list of dates during July when Mackenzie admitted he had taken dope in the Danbury hospital
 He claimed, however that he had taken none since July 19.
 He denied that he knew dope addicts became pathological liars, J
 He admitted that his testimony in part was contradictory to that of Charles Williamson-not a dope addict"
 Mackenzie said that he made no objections to testifying before the grand jury, and that he went will ingly."
 T suppose I made some mis- takes" he said. "But I did not deliberately make any mistakes. did not try to cover any of my actions"
 He denied that he has read his grand jury testimony since giving it, and said he has not had his att tention called to it by anyone since that time.
 The witness said that although he and Edward G. Levy, the other confessed conspirator are represent ed by the same lawyer, Attorney William Hadden of West Haven, he never met Levy at Hadden's office.
 On his appearance before the grand jury March g, he said he had taken morphine and codein in ad- vance also. He also took more mor- phine following the session, he said.
 The following week, when he made his third appearance before the grand jury, he also took mor- phine, he said.
 Under Influence
 He admitted that he was under the influence of drugs when he went before the grand jury"
 You couldn't have gone on with. out the narcotic drugs could you?" demanded Murray.
 T had to have drugs" was the reply.
 Mackenzie also testified that he was 'hopped up" when he lobbied In the state capitol. Asked why he considered himself possessive of more power than any others at the capitol. he replied, T never claimed I had any more power over the leg islation than anyone else."
 He admitted that he had accept ed money from firms for lobbying flor services rendered.

Smallest Exhibit at New York Fair
 Also Most Costly

New Xork-Jewelry, which has always figured so langley in mans past and will almost surely continue to follow his footsteps into the World of Tomorrow-the theme of the New York Worlds Fair 1939- will have its place in the sun at this the greatest of all Propositions.
 Smallest exhibit on the 1216k acres of Fair grounds will have a priceless display of jewels. Physical ly, the display will be the most costly in the entire Fair, for the stones and silverware, along with the rough products from which they are fash toned, will be worth at least $5,000,- 900.
 Five leading New York jewellers, a British concern and a South Afri- can company have joined forces to present a rotating display of cut and uncut stones, representing enough gems finished in the rough to make the mouths of the 60,0O0,000 antici- pated visitors water collectively.
 Every precaution is being taken to guard the gems, and the building will be entirely fireproof in con- struction.
 New York City was bought from the Indians for trinkets valued at &24. Now figure out the moral of this for yourself. Or maybe the jewellers are merely figuring on buying the World of Tomorrow from the future aborigines.
