Jackson Square, in New Orleans,
is favorite of tourists seeking out
the characteristic in the Vieux Care,
popularly known as the French
Quarter. No small contribution to
the picturesqueness of the square is
the presence of nanny" vendors
Their fat accentuated by several
petticoats and dresses, topped by a
voluminous apron, their gray heads
swarthed in bright bandanas, they
sit by the hour putting corncob pipes
But it is the baskets at their sides
which attract the sweet-toothed
traveller, for here are homegrown
homemade pecan pralines.
Sometimes they hawk their tasty
wares when the approaching visitor
hesitates before buying "Pralines
Heah yo' puh-can pra-lines." But
generally they just sit and wait for
customers. While there have been
developed many recipes during the
centuries in which pralines have be-
come identified with New Orleans,
here is one that will result, at least
after a few tries, in genuine Creole
pecan pralines:

Dude Plantation Novelty
|Added in Deep South

BROWNS WELLS, Miss, Jan. 8.
Seeking q new thrill, the vaca-
ZIONIST might become dude
planter" There have been dude
ranches for at least two decades and
they have proven an outstanding
success, but dude plantations never.
Less than year ago, w. E. Hester,
who has lived in the Deep South all
Of his life, conceived the idea while
vacationing at a dude ranch in Ark
ansas. With several associates he
purchased the Browns Wells estate,
some 40 miles below Jaskson, Miss,
in the heart Of the cotton belt. In
post-Civi War days the plantation
was the rendezvous Of fashionable
cotton and sugar planters.
In recent years the country
around Browns Wells has become
noted as one of the best dove and
quail preserves in the country. 1t
draws sportsmen from Chicago, ST.
Louis, New York and other cities
Just before Thanksgiving, when the
season opens.
An old Southern mansion, set of
by bougainvillea, is surrounded by a
number of white plantation cottages
for guests who prefer private quar-
ters.
Old-fashioned Negroes, born and
bred on the plantation, bring around
the bird dogs or horses as the vaca-
tionist's spirit moves. Colored chill
dren serve as caddies on the fine
rolling golf course beyond the moss
hung oaks.
Guests who like to stroll hear the
hum of the buzz saw almost any

1 tablespoon Of butter.

When sugar and water boil, add
pecans and stir constantly until this
mixture comes to a full boil. Drop
on buttered cold fiat surface, pref
erably a marble slab.
The nanny vendor and many
wiser native of the Crescent City
are not sure Of the origin of delicious
brown discs Of sugar and nuts, but
perhaps historians who subscribe to
this theory are right: They became
known to the world in the 18th CEN
tury in France through the chef of
the Marechal du Plessis-Praslin
Almonds were generally used in
France, but Louisiana's early settlers,
finding pecans growing wild, adopted
this nut as more delicately favored
and less oily.

Beginning on second Sunday in
November and continuing to April
the Mexican fighting season is
now at its height. Crowds of Is 900
are reported on Sundays and holi-
days watching the co-starring bulls
and the matadores at Ell Toreo, Mex
leo City's world famed ring. Even
outside the capital top matadores
(who can earn as high as $4,000 in
American dollars In an afternoon
of disposing of two or three bulls)
are appearing, including Armillita
and Lorenzo Cara, considered Mex
ico's best; Pepe Ortiz. Ell Solorzano,
Silverio Perez, Gregorio Garcia, Car
nicerito, Jesus Solorzano and Albert
Balderas. The names may mean no
more to the average American than
does Filchock in the hinterlands Of
Australia, but they are the graceful
and audacious performers who draw
the crowds.
Toast Of Mexico now is the girl
bullhghter, Conchita Cintron, whose
beauty and dashing skill thrill the
Mexicans and put her name on the
must see" list for American tourists.
Perhaps another feminine star of the
bull ring, Jaunita Cruz, will catch
the tourists fancy.
Although Mexico's boy bullf1ghters
pit their skill against smaller ami
mails, bulls acceptable to the arena
in major contests must weigh at
least 1000 pounds. And they are
bred for fire and fury, with keen

Cuba ReIuxes
Siestu Laws to
Aid Tourists

HAVANA, Dec. 30.-When an
easy-going Cuban relinquishes his
treasured midday siesta to meet the
demands Of modern business, it's
news. Well, Havana's shopkeepers
are doing just that.
For the greater convenience Of
thousands of cruise passengers who
make a shopping center of the
Cuban capital, the Cuban National
Tourist Commission in cooperation
with trade organizations has ar
ranged with government officials to
relax ancient laws governing the
two-hour siesta, allowing Havana's
many shops to remain open during
the tourist season while the rest Of
the city lunches and maps.
This means that tourists will be
able to devote their mornings and
afternoons completely to sightseeing
and to sprawling on the warm
Cuban sands, reserving the noon
period, when everything in Havana
is at a standstill, to hunting bar
gains.

Bullet Proof Fuel Tank
Aids British War Filters

LONDON.-Th war has revived
interest in the so-called bullet
proof fuel tank. the development
of which was begun as result OF
the World war.
Soon after 1918, several inventions
for limiting the damage to tanks by
bullets, and for preventing fire, were
submitted to the air ministry. In
most cases some sort of rubber over
coat was suggested to seal the hole
made by the bullet in passing through
the tank. The idea was that the bull
let on emerging would stretch the
rubber before piercing it. Then,
when the rubber reacted and con-
tracted the hole made would be al
most negligible.
About that time Jack Imber, a
prominent airplane designer, invent
ed a tank which he believed could
be riddled by bullets without fire or
leakage. His tank consisted of three
main parts: A thin shell of timed
steel, a tubular framework upon
which the battles to keep the gaso-
line from slushing, were mounted,
and a soft coat of pure para rub
Der. There were no rivets connect
ing the stiffening frame and the baf-
fles to the she'll Rivets and angles
were found to spread, or spin the
bullets.
The air ministry offered various
prizes for crash-proof tanks in 1922,
when bullet-proof qualities were less
important than fire-proof protection.
