Happy |Harlburgers

During the winter school months many a mother likes to entertain her children's gang"
 What would be more popular with the group that hamburger ban quet? And easy on the hostess, too. Make invitations in the shape of hamburger with rough-cut edges, and written in red (like chili sauce, you know). And while your scissors and limbered up, make some danc- ing hamburger cut-outs of bright colored paper to scatter over the table top.
 The table you might cover with butchers paper and paste the happy, little cut-outs over 1t. Even on the paper napkins, and little ones on the glasses. A bowl of red flowers and red candles stuck in chilli or prepared mustard bottles will cer- tainly delight your young guests, too
 For your menu, plan for ham, burgers served picnic style on paper plates. A menu that's universally liked by the young fry is: Hambur- gers on toasted buns, creamed pota- toes, buttered green beans, cluster of carrot and celery curls, a glass of milk, and for dessert, ice cream and cake.

Tips For Can Opener Cooks

One of the essentials to being an efacient can opener cook is to have a good can opener. Maybe you think yours is good, but is itg There are many good ones on the market, and there are some that are hard to operate. Just be sure your Kitchen has an easy-to-tlse good one. There is real joy In cooking, but there is misery for the cook who struggles with poor tools.
 Modern conveniences of all kinds from lights, stoves, telephones and refrigerators, to canned foods and can openers make for gracious liv. ing. And whether you have a lirmH tied or unlimited food budget you can be a smart, efficient cook and Q gracious hostess.
 People who get the best use from canned foods are those who realize, and take advantage of, the fact that commercially canned foods contain the maximum amount of food value for each food. They know that the canned foods have been prepared under scientific direction and that the finished products are as good as, or even better than, they can do themselves. It Is with such confi- dence Ia mind that fine meals can be prepared and served by featuring canned foods.
 Can opener cooks must use the same knowledge of nutrition in their meal planning as they do when all foods are prepared in the home; but they have the advantage of having more time to do other things than fix vegetables, fruits, and the like in the kitchen. It Is a good idea to remember to combine different textures of foods, and since all canned foods are cooked foods 1t Is well to include something crisp and raw in the meal.
 A good can opener, one that is easy to operate, will not only please the regular cook, but the husband and children who like to butter around the kitchen now and then, too. Check this working tool for ef- ficiency.

Bouillabaisse Seawanahaka

There is nothing which is wel- comod more after being exposed to winters cold blasts than a plate of steasning soup.
 Variety is plentiful in soups and to get e new one is quite problem. In such a situation one might con- sider the far famed bouillabaisse. There is an air of mystery about this famous dish, but 1t should not baffle any one. In other words, 1t is Q good poliCy in foods not to fear any name but to dig in and try 1t. Tn most instances 1t results in @ surprising treat, nli1
 There is a dual purpose in the bouillabaisse, the Fishery Council reports. You have the soup and also the fish for another course. This is pleasing news to the pru- dent Lady of the Kitchen who wants to please her family as well as her pocketbook.

Keeping KLEIN in Office
Won't Be Easy Task
BY JOHN LARDNER,
SpeciaI Correspondept of The Star

NEW YORK. Dec. 13 (N.AN.A).-
The question about Bill KLEIN is, can
they keep him in an office? The
National League has just announced
that it will make every effort to do
so. Mr.. KLEIN preserves an ominous
silence.
For IS years the old arbitrator has
spent his afternoons on the field of
battle. Now they have retired him
from active service and appointed
him supervisor Of umpires," job
which is partly executive, partly
clerical and all sitting down.
Personally, I would not like to be
the guy assigned to the duty of keep
ing Mr.. KLEIN in his seat and off the
ball field. Generally the old man
is affable, but time comes. if you
match your will against his, when
his pale blue eyes turn cold as a bar
racuda's and he says: If you don't
get out of my way, young man, I'm
not responsible for what happens to
you"
There is no telling what would
happen, because no ball player ever
has tried for test case. Some of
the athletes have a theory that if
you defled Mr.. KLEIN to the last ex-
tremity, he would simply explode
in your face like a bomb and send
you flying in different directions,
in different Oiecnc

Old Arbitrator Not One
10 Sit Around

Ford Christopher Frick, the presi-
dent of the National League. Is a
little uneasy about making a
supervisor" out of Mr.. KLEIN.
Maybe in certain big series. where
four umpires are needed, Bill will
take hand" says Mr. Frick.
There's no maybe about that. The
point is. the old arbitrator is apt
TO pop up in any kind of series. He
has umpired a ball game practically
every summer day since 1905. re-
member and he feels in a general
way that no decision is official un-
less it comes from KLEIN He also
feels that he is as good as ever, if
not better.
Only couple of seasons ago. while
William was working a game in
Brooklyn. a ground ball rolled out
between second base and first. Upon
reaching the vicinity of Mr. Klein
it suddenly bounced off and started
rolling in another direction.
Mr. Lippy Leo Durocher. the
BROOKLYN pilot. argued that the ball
had hit Mr. Klein
1T did not" said the old arbi-
traitor, folding his arms across his

required to carry indicators to keep
track of the balls and strikes. Mr..
KLEIN carried an indicator, as or
dered but never used it.
If man can't count up to three
strikes and four balls, he said, hes
not fit for this profession"
Recently there have been sinister
developments in Wichita. Kans.,
where Ray Dumont. car of the Ma
tional Semipro Baseball Congress.
backs the machine against the UNI
pire. First, Mr.. Dumont introduced
a pneumatic plate duster. replacing
the old-fashioned umpires whisk-
broom
Now. the saints preserve US. he is
trying to replace the fashioned
umpire himself
Mr. Dumont favors the magic eve,
which will register balls and strikes
electrically. If the ray is broken
Nonsense!" roars William j.
KLEIN, giant Of the old civilization
Pure twaddle! I'll break that raw.
all right. if ever see it. Ill break
1t to pieces. Can ray employ the
functions Of human reason? Can
a ray uphold the dignity of the
game ?Can ray govern the con-
fictlng passions of misguided ath-
letes? Can ray administer? Can
a ray allocate? Can a ray exert the
iron hand in the velvet glove? Don't
talk to me about RAYS"
And that is fair warning to any
one who plans to talk to Mr.. KLEIN
about rays.
From his supervisors chair. Mr..
KLEIN Will continue to protect the
doctrine Of human infallibility. But
Ill bet he would rather be out there
demonstrating it And III bet he
will be retirement or no retirement.

Orioles Fully Expect
To 5ubdue Eagles
Here Tonight
See Selves on Upgrade
And Capital Skaters
Ready for Slump

Fighting to retain their clutch on
first place in the Eastern Amateur
Hockey League, the Washington
Eagles will take the ice at Riverside
Stadium tonight against the Bal
tlmore Orioles, arch rivals of the
local skaters and defending cham
pions. The game will start at $50.
Both teams are out for the other
fellows scalp in every sense of the
word for if the Orioles win this one
they'll be deadlocked with the
Eagles for the top spot in the league
standings with only few games to
play in the first third of the season
with the Hershey Cup at stake.
Have Scores to Settle.
Further, both teams have unset
tied scores pending. The last time
they met the game turned into a
fist-f1inging free-for-all, the net re-
suit OF which was the banishment
of husky Johnny McTeer of the
Eagles and Dill of the Orioles.
The Orioles crept within reach
ing distance of the Eagles Wednes-
day night at Atlantic City, where
they licked the Sea Gulls. who the
night before had vanquished the
Washington entry.
Adding fuel to the flames of one
Of those nice little intercity rival
ries, Pick Hines, Baltimore coach,
is out with fiat statement that the
Eagles. under Coach Mackenzie, are
getting ready to fold up under the
stern chase of the Orioles. He said
the Eagles got a lot of breaks ir
winning so many early season games
and hardly can be expected to i'm
prove.
The early-season pace of the
Eagles has taken something out OF
them" said Hines. Baltimore. on
the other hand, is just beginning to
get into stride. Washington is due
for a slump, while Baltimore is due
for an upturn."
Eagles Put Through PAGES.
The Eagles were something less
than brilliant Tuesday night in their
6-5 losing game against the Sea
Gulls. So, for the last two days.
Coach Mackenzie has not spared
the whip to impress on them that
letdown at this stage probably would
cost them the league lead
Meanwhile. both teams have been
cautioned against continuance Of

Not There to Explain
Lows Of Nature

But. look. Bill reasoned Mr.

did it bounce off like that?"

Mr. KLEIN coldly. Il am not here to

Thus the matter stood, as matters
always did stand when Mr.. KLEIN
reached his decision.
To the end, William has defended

machine. Umpires at the plate are
