QUESTIONS

For Greater Care in Kitchen
The chief causes of home acci-
dents are falls, burns, scalds and
explosions; one-third of home ia
talities happen in the kitchen.
Seven drops OF lemon juice add
ed to a pint of cream before whip
ping it will cause it to beat up in
less than half the time it would
without the juice.
In making candy the materials
should be collected ahead of time
and a pan should be selected big
enough to allow for boiling and
thick enough not to scorch such
ingredients as milk and chocolate.
Suede shoes can be given new
life by polishing with plenty of or
binary shoe polish and hard rub
bling. They will be better for wear
ing in bad weather.
An excellent light crust for meat
pies can be made with half flour
and half freshly cooked and
mashed potatoes. Less fat is re-
quired than when all flour is used.
Even Curtains.-H curtains will
not hang evenly, slip rod through
the lower hens and let it remain

Almost all fruit stains may be
removed by soaking them in boil
ing water. In case any member
of the family upsets a cup of
chocolate or tea, use cold water
to remove the spot. In the case
of coffee, pour boiling water from
a height; brushing the stain with
borax beforehand helps.

SHERRILL TO
SEEK SEAT IN
LEGISLATURE
Well Known Civic Figure
Plans To Run On The
Democratic Ticket

The long sought opportunity for
revision of the legislative districts
in the state of Michigan may be
lost if a Negro is not on guard in
both houses Of the legislature at
Lansing.
This vital revision OF the legisla-
tive districts in Michigan will hold
a significant position in the minds Of
Michigan voters this fall, particu-
larly Negro voters, because proper
re-districting OF the legislative dis
tricts may automatically result in
sending OF Negro congressman to
Washington.
Plan To Run Sheriff. For State
Legislature
William L. Sheriff., popular can
didate for the common council in
the city election las: fall has been
drafted by groups, clubs and or
carnations to seek a seat in the
state legislature in interest Of this
cause and all other vital causes
thereby achieving in the lower
house, what we have accomplished
by sending Senator Digs to the
upper house. These organizations
feel that a Negro in the House Of
Representatives will lend added
support to Senator Digs in the
senate.
With active support in both
houses, it is felt by the committee
that the proper redistricting pro-
cedure will have better chance
OF becoming a reality.
William L Sheriff. was named by
the committee as the most likely
candidate for this position. Reasons
for this choice were given as (c) the
fine showing recently made by him
in his candidacy for seat on the
common council OF the city OF De-
troit; (b) his popularity with the
masses OF people throughout the
city and state with whom he is
platform favorite and tc) his ia
miliarity with the problems Of the
Negro in general throughout the
state and particularly in Wayne
county.

De Luxe
BY FRANK COLBY.
Elegant sumptuouS; luxurious.

The French phrase de luxe has
been so hackneyed by continual rep
etltlon to commercial Americanese
that it has joined legions of other
good expressions that now have
virtually no meaning.
AS Brander Matthews said Words
wear themselves out by overuse. -
another way of saying that words
| often die of overWork.
The French meaning of de luxe
is excessively sumptuous, very elab-
crate, especially as to clothes and
food. But in the United States any
thing may be DEE lucks": A nickel
candy bar, a pair of chain store
rayon pantleS, a mail-order set of
Dumas with "classy buckram bind
ing or car with an extra ciga-
rette lighter and little more chro-
mimum trim than the standard"
model
In America, de luxe started out
as a synonym for luxurious. Today,
If the phrase means anything at all,
it simply deSignates something that
IS a little fancier than ordinary.
In pronunciation, de luxe is 100
per cent American. But do not say
DEE lucks." Place the accent on

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Never in his life had Sammy Jay
felt so important as now. He set
tied himself comfortably on a
branch of a big chestnut tree near
the edge of the Green Forest. Fac
ing him with their backs against
the tree trunk sat Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel and Chatterer the Red
Squirrel. They were on different
branches, for they couldn't possibly
have sat on the same branch with
out fighting. All about on the
ground below and in the tree itself
sat their neighborS.
Sammy fluffed out his feathers
and raised his rather smart-looklng
cap. When he had made himself
look as big and important appear
ing as he possibly could he an
nounced that he would hear Happy
Jacks story first. So Happy Jack
told his story. beginning with the
trouble he had in finding food. He
told how Farmer Browns boy had
given him supply of nuts and corn
and how he had stored this supply
away in his st0ehouSe. Then he told
how he had left his Storehouse only
the day before and on his return
had found that some one had stolen
every nut and every grain of corn.
Happy Jack was almost fearful
when he told this.
1T means that I'm likely to Starve
this winter 1t was that relocated
thief over there who did it. I know,
because I found some of the red
hairs from his coat
All this time Chatterer was NUT
tering to himself and finding it the
hardest work to keep from inter-
rupting; also he was making faces at
Happy Jack AS soon as the latter
stopped talking Chatterer began. His
story was almost exactly like Happy
Jacks. He, too, had found his store
house empty of everything that was
in it. He was certain that Happy
Jack was the thief because at the
entrance of his storehouse he found
some gray hairs, hairs that could
have belonged to no one but Happy
Jack.
Sammy Jay looked very wise as he
listened. They didn't know it, but
you know that Sammy knew exactly
what had happened, for he had seen
each of the two rascals at the others
storehouse. He pretended to think
very hard. He scratched his head.
He rolled up his eyes and gazed up
in the treetops. Finally he made
his decision.
Il must confess" said he, that
I cannot see that either of these
quarrelsome cousins has anything to
worry about or to quarrel about
Chatterer, I know, has more than
one storehouse and has not lost all
his supplies. Happy Jack may have
lost all of his. as he claims, but
that makes no difference. Each has
stolen the supplies of the other,
therefore each has as much as he
did in the beginning. Happy Jack
can live on the things he has stolen
from Chatterer and Chatterer has
the supplies he has stolen from
Happy Jack. Therefore, I rule that
if these two nuisances do not stop
quarreling they should be chased
out of the Green Forest"
Every one applauded Judge Jays
ruling: that is. every one but Chat
terer and Happy Jack.

Strong Units Of Nazi
And Italian Planes
Attack England
Nine Enemy Machines
FeIIed in South Coast
Battles, British Soy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Germans
threw half a dozen or more strong
formations of fighter bombers
against England today, including
some of the planes of their Italian
allies, and were reported by the Air
Ministry to have lost at least nine
machines in violent battles along the
south coast.
With the sun at their backs, 1t
said. British fighters dived from
cloud ambushes and scattered the
formations. Both Italian bombers
and fighting planes were reported
to have participated in the raids.
At the same time a British con-
voy of black tramp steamers tow
ing barrage balloons ran through
German coastal fire in the channel
without damage, the British said.
1t was disclosed that a crowded
bus was hit in last nights attack
and several persons probably killed
Some raiders streaked through
the tight-drawn defenses and gave
London three alarms by noon.
The first lasted only a few minutes,
and in the second some bombs fell
in the outskirts of the city. The
second all-clear came after longer
alarm.
The Spitfres were said to have
dived to the attack along the coast
from a height of nearly 10000 feet.
Italian planes reported among the
raiders were described as fighters,
In the past many OF the Italian
planes taking part in the battle OF
Britain have been bombers with
German fighter escorts.
Apparently one German bomber
crew was wiped out in the crash Of
their plane during the night in
North Yorkshire Moorland. One
body was found beside the wreckage
of the plane and three others were
found a short distance away.
Another Nazi plane which crashed
during the night struck an apart
ment house near Hornchurch, killing
a man, his wife and their 2-year-old
daughter. The bodies of two Nazi
airmen we're found in the wreckage.
In the morning air battles over
Hythe, on the coast, two raiding
planes we're reported shot down, one
crashing on land and the other in
the sea.
