AIode:,rr, Menus
BY MRS. GAGYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

The sweet tooth need not be sighted by the brides budget. Des- serts can be food, too. And they can be delicate, satisfying and color full without costing very much.
 At this time of year, fruits and berries are ready to help the bride with her sweets. Remem- Der this = when your dessert con- tains milk and eggs, flour and some form of fat, you are actually putting food value into the menu, therefore you do not need so much protein and fat in the other dishes of the same meal.
 Here are basic desserts for the small budget. Plain, perhaps, but certainly good.
 Spanish Cream
 (ServeS 2 bountifully with left-overs)
 One tablespoon unflavored grant, lated gelatin, pint milk, egg yolks, 1-2 cup sugar, grated orange or lemon rind, egg whites, 1-4 teaspoon salt, teaspoon vanilla.
 Add gelatin to milk. then scald milk. Combine unbeatcn egg yolks, sugar and grated orange or lemon rind. Then add scalded milk, stir constantly and cook in double boiler until mixture clings to side of spoon. Add salt to egg whites, then beat until very stiff. Strain cus- tard on to beaten egg whites. Add vanilla, and turn gently into but tered mold. Chill. Serve with ber- rieS and cream.
 Cottage Pudding
 (One loaf)
 Cottage pudding is the answer to the newlywed's dessert problem. Serve it with mashed berries, with hard sauce or with fluffy lemon sauce.
 One-third cup shortening, cup sugar, 9 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1-2 cup milk, 1-2 cups flour, 1 1-2 teaspoons baking powder, 1-4 tea spoon salt.
 Cream shortening, then gradually add sugar, creaming after each ad- dition. Add vanilla. Beat in whole ggS, one at a time. Add milk al- ternately with sifted flour, baking powder and salt (sifted together) Beat well until smooth. Turn into greased and floured small loaf tin. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 45 minutes. This, recipe will also make 12 medium cup cakes. Bake only 35 minutes.

adds: 1T is not completely incon-
ceivable that as the result of the
deals Germany may take first place
in Mexico's trade next year"
I'VE think" comments the New
York Daily News in a leading editor
ial, that Leon Trotsky, exiled from
Stalin's Russia, and honored guest of
Cardenas is back of all of this. But
the News confesses inability to form
a theory to explain why the United
States government takes this stun
lying down
The editorial comments further
upon the situation as il has developed
in Washington. as follows:
Our government only mumbled
when Cardenas first grabbed the oil
wells. When William r. Castle, ex-
Under Secretary of State. says we're
being too good a neighbOr to Mexico.
Acting Secretary of State Sumner
Welles hastens to contradict him,
saying that everything is lovely.
Everything is not lovely. By TAX
ing these kicks from Cardenas land
we believe TrOtsky), our government
is ~ encouraging Nazi Germany To-
take away the Mexican market for
goods produced by American work
ers. and (2) encouraging other Cen
tral and South American countries
to join in the Mexican sport of kick
ing Uncle Sans shins.

IN THE INTEREST or LABOR

In the next session OF Congress
the Administration can either at
tempt to prevent any revision of the
Wagner Act or it can cooperate in
that revision" says the New York
Times editorially. What is more
important than such a revision con-
sidered by itself is a comprehensive
and well balanced labor program
designed as far as possible to pro-
mote industrial peace. 1t is un-
likely that Congress could form
balanced program in the heat OF its
own debates unless some authorita-
tive preliminary study had already
been made OF the problem. The Pres
ident could perform no more useful
service in this cause than by the ap
pointment OF a commission similar
in its general makeup to the com
mission that gave us such fine OBJ
jectiye reports on labor conditions
in England and Sweden-to prepare
a set of well-considered recommen-

the resulting discussions and legis-
lation in Congress would almost
be governed by its spirit"
The motives dominating those who
and passed the Wager
Act were no doubt excellent. The re-
suits of the Act, to put il mildly,
have been chaotic. Industrial war

where previously they were un-
known. In spirit. it may he said that
the principle of the Act was a step
in the right direction. In actual
practice. the Act seems to have fail
ed almost completely
Labor must realize that it has the
most to lose from such conditions
as this Act has helped create and
encourage. Anti-labOr feeling and
legislation will be the inevitable re-
suit of labor warfare which ignores
the public interest. as witness the
stringent anti-picketing bill recently
voted by the people at a general
election in Oregon. The honest
working man las well as the labor
will suffer in the process.
In truth, decent labor. and the un-
ions which represent it. should logi-
cally be among the foremost sup
porters of some such program as the
Times suggests.
