Suuur ann Sptrp
By ELISABETH


Although the weatherman doesn't
confirm it, the calendar indicates spring
is here, and the earth is doing it's best
to keep up with the calendar. With
green things poking their heads above
the ground we begin looking for signs
of strawberry plants, pushing up from
their winter covering of pine needles
and for the first tightly curled green
leaves which indicate that the rhubarb
bed is about to flourish. If you've never
lived in the country, you've never ex-
perjcuccd the thrill of seeing these
things, but country bred or city bred,
there's no need to gainsay the pleas
uros of these two fruits. City folk can
purchase either at reasonable prices
from the market and country folk can
yet a bit ahead of their crops by buying
from the markets now and having the
added pleasure of the yield of their
own land later in the season. SO with
this thought in mind [ offer you a few
choice recipes for rhubarb and straw
berries.
BHUBARB SAUCE-Select large
pink stalks Of rhubarb, wash carefully,
rst in one inch slices, do not peel. For
each pound Of rhubarb use one cup
Sugar and one cup cold water, boil to-
@othcr for a few minutes, add rhubarb,
cox about five minutes, pour into bowl
aud allow to cool. Place in ice box to
chill Orhubarb cooked in this way re
tam- its natural color and frmness.
RIIJBARB PIE-One and one half
cups rhubarb, one cup sugar, one egg,
fsgo tablespoons -four. Cut stalks of
rhubarb in half inch pieces before mea-
-urmg. Mix sugar, egg and -four, add
to rhubarb. Bake in double crust or
make a top crust of latticed pieces of
dough. Glaze top crust with a bit of
cyaporatcd milk
OLD + ASH ION STRAW
BERRY SUORTCAKE-Wash and
hull one box strawberries; to each cup
Of bemic, add one fourth cup of sugar,
press gently, let stand in ice box. Make
dough using two cups flour, two table
spoons sugar one teaspoon salt, four
teaspoons baking powder, four table
spoons shortening. Mix and sift dry
ingredients, work shortening in with
a fork, add about one and one fourth
cups milk Tor enough to make stiff
BATTERY Roll on a Toured board to a
quarter inch thickness. Cut with a
large sized cutter, place rounds of
dough in pan in double layers. Bake
at $50 degrees for fifteen minutes, split,
butter while hot. Pour strawberries in
between and on top. Serve with plain
thick cream, or whipped cream I'M
sweetened and favored with a drop of
almond extract.
STRAWBERRY PARFAIT - One
quart box strawberries, two cups sugar,
one half cup water. three egg whites,
one pint whipped cream. Wash, pick
over and hull berries, sprinkle with one
cup OF sugar, let stand several hours
then force through fine strainer. Boil
remaining sugar and water until mix
ture threads. Beat egg whites until stiff,
pour syrup into stiff egg whites while
beating constantly. Cool and fold in
cream beaten stiff. Freeze strawber-
nes to mush (until firm in electric
refrigerator or for three hours in salt
and Ice using equal parts of each. Pack
strawberry juice to Overlooking in mold
and cover tightly using piece of but
tered paper beneath cover. Add to
cream mixture and continue freezing.

BEAUTY and ROMANCE
Size of Mouth Important


The application of lipstick, and of
requires time and attention. Study
your lips carefully before you put on
your lipstick. Figure out for yourself
whether they are too small or too
large and act accordingly. Fortu-
nately for most of us, the day of the
rosebud mouth is gone. No one wants
a mouth that looks like a china doll.
But neither do we want mouth that
dwarfs the rest of the face by com
parison. If your mouth is too small,
start your lipstick we'll out towards
the edges of the mouth and put it on
as heavily at the outer edges as you
do in the center. Be sure to put it on
with your mouth open so that there
will be no unattractive uncolored line
when you speak. If your mouth is too
large, however, the reverse rules are
true. Bear down more heavily with
your lipstick in the center of your
mouth, gradually tapering off towards
the edges. A large mouth needs less
lipstick than a small one if you want
to make the size less conspicuous.
Lipstick Should Blend With Color
Scheme
And when buying lipstick please
exercise a little care in the selection
of the proper shade. Your lipstick
should blend with your complexion as
well as harmonic with the color
scheme of your outfit. 1t is wise to
have several lipsticks so that you can
vary it according to your wardrobe.
Some shades are more becoming at
night, others give you the proper lift
by day. Shop around and study all
the shades until you find at least one
that does things for you inside and
out.
What are your beauty problems ?

Skirts Are Shorter

Seventeen to 20 inches from the
floor is the correct length for skirts
this spring.

Interesting contrasts in suits con-
tinue to be fashion highlight. Here
is a suit presented at a style clinic
held in the Merchandise Mart in
Chicago, which is particularly note
worthy in that it tops a black skirt
with color-drenched tweed jacket.
A most likable feature about the
jacket is that it is of the simply
styled collarless type.

2O-MILE RACE IS
 ON THIS AFTERNOON

Medford, Mass, March 18 - CU. p - The annual North Medford 20-mile road race, considered dress rehearsal for the Boston A. A. mar athon, was to be ru nthis afternoon, with several distance stars among the 65 entries.
 Some observers believed that Les Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., who won the event in 1882 and 193S, might score his third victory. But he faced stiff competition from the Canadians, Walter Young and Ger ard Cote, among others.
 Johnny Kelley of Arlington, five time winner of the event, was not entered, nor was the 50-year-old veteran, Clarence De Mar of Keene, N. H., though it was believed De Mar might enter at the last min- ute as he did last year.

Legality Is Not
 To Be Recognized
tContinued from Page 1)

Sir Neville Henderson, the British ambassador to Germany, was in- structed to inform the German gov- ernment::
 'The British government regards as without legal basis the changes effected by German military action in Czechoslovakia."
 This means that in the minds of Great Britain-and France-Hit- ler's new conquest assumes the status of Japan's seizure of Chinese Manchuria, which the great demo- cratic powers have not yet recog- nized after more than seven years, and of Benito Mussohni's conquest of Ethiopia, which nearly brought war in Europe.
 Agreement Repudiated
 Henderson was further instructed to convey to the German govern ment the British governments view:
 That recent events represent a complete repudiation of the Munich agreement and undertakings of peaceful cooperation exchanged at that time by the parties to it."
 The parties" were Great Bri- tain. France. Germany and Italy.
 Adolf Hitler, on his way to rail- road from Vienna to Berlin, to re- ceive the acclaim of his Nazis to- night, was reported to intend to summon his reichstag perhaps Tues day, to hear his report of his Czechoslovak march and his future intentions.
 Reserves Called Out
 At Pretoria, South Africa, it was announced that all South African police reserves had been called out, apparently as the result of German government representations against alleged discrimination against im- migration of Germans to Southwest Africa, a former German colony un- der South African mandate.
 Well informed sources nere re- ported today, as Britain and France girded for their "stop Hitler" drive, that Germany had made a series of drastic proposals" which would take Rumania directly under her orbit of influence.
 Report Denied
 The Rumanian government issued an official denial of the report and 8 high Berlin source, close to the Nazi government, denounced it as complete nonsense and a swindle,"
 Despite these denials, it was in- sisted in well informed quarters here that the reports were accurate, and that the denials were diplomatic" ones.
 The report reached London as, the British government was understood to be considering sponsorship of an international "stop Hitler" confer ence to form . united stand against the expanisonist policies of Adolf Hotter.

about 30 per cent, to use senator Culhane's figure. The bill gives property owners a year to pay sewer assessments and provides that the assessments shall be reduced in pro- portion to the amount of WPA help given the city in the work. Senator Culhane has claimed during deba tes In the senate that the WPA pays 30 per cent or more of the cost of sewer construction in Waterbury. On this basis, under his bill, sewer assessments would be not $250 a front foot, the present rate, but rather 50 cents foot.
 Bill Retroactive
 During senate debate on the bill this week, there has been no refer ence whatsoever made to the fact that the bill is retroactive to Jan uary l, which means that sewer as- sessment bills sent out by the city since the first of the year would, if the bill finally passes have to be called back and figured on the new basis of the amount of WPA help.
 Perhaps the most striking feature of the handling of the bill in the Legislature has been the obvious un- familiarity of virtually all the mem- bers of the senate with the rneas- ure's provisions. Senators, of course. argue that the bill is purely a Wa terbury issue, but this seems only a prefunctory excuse for lack of study of 8 bill vitally important to one Of the states largest cities.
 Passed Unanimously
 Coming into the senate Tuesday. the bill was held over till Thurs day, against the wishes of Senator Culhane. On Thursday, motions to recommit and table the bill were de- feated. and the bill adopted unani- mously. Yesterday. rather than break the "fightless Friday" rule. the senate voted to delay until Tuesday v a motion that 1t reconsider its fay- orable vote of Thursday and take up the bill again.
 On Tuesday. Senator Culhane will first oppose the motion for recon- stderation. If the motion should pre- vail. he will then seek to have the senate vote fayorably again on the bill.
