CHRISTMAS MAGIC
In DRIED FRUITS
DR.. Riley Suggests Such
Sweets as Better Than
Much Candy

Speaking of Christmas sweets
that the children will like but that
will not leave unpleasant after-af-
fects, DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health,
calls attention to these sugges-
lions from the nutritionists of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene:
Time for Christmas Magic 1t
can be worked through the use of
plain, everyday dried fruits. And
when you see and taste what can
be done with the easily obtainable
fruits dressed up bit, you will see
that the term fits perfectly. For
example, try the following;
"Penguins: A handful of dried
prunes, with the addition of some
creamy marshmallows and some
raisins, can be easily transformed
into a flock of amusing, but good
to eat, white chested penguins. All
you need to do is to seed the
prunes, stuff them with marshmal-
lows, leaving out a bit to form
the heads. Small seedless raisins
stuck on toothpicks make very ac-
ceptable feet and a bit of the
prune or a raisin forms the cap.
Ships: You can turn a handful
of golden brown dates into a fleet
of ships by stuffing them with
peanut butter and using peanuts
as sails.
Fruit Logs and Foot Balls:
Dates, raisins, dried apricots and
prunes, figs and nuts, can be
ground in a food chopper, moisten-
ed with orange or lemon juice, if
necessary, and rolled in chopped
peanuts or brown sugar, or coated
with melted milk chocolate or
cOcOanut. to form fruit logs or
magic foot balls.
Surprises: You can make var
ious intriguing combinations of
the above by adding or substituting
honey, molasses or dry cereals.

avoiding the after-effects that
come when children have eaten
too many concentrated sweets.

Philadelphia, June 25-(UP)--Re-

from the National Labor Relations
board to the Wagner act itself, and

The change was made by O draft

ping into. final shape q peace and
preparedness platform severely criti-
cal OF New Deal methods and results
on foreign and domestic issues.
The full resolutions committee
meets In executive session ct $3.50
q. m. (EDT) to receive q partial re-
port from the platform drafters.
It was planned to continue closed
sessions throughout the day to COM
plete the party's statement Of fun
damental principles for presentation
to the convention perhaps tonight
but probably tomorrow morning,
When the document Is completed de-
ponds, of course, upon the contro-
versy, over the specified wording Of
the foreign affairs plank, and those
on domestic issues covered by unani-
nous reports Of nine subcommittee
which began their work O week be-
fore the convention convened.
More Important Planks
The national defense and foreign
affairs plank, most important In the
platform, tentatively provides:
A strong declaration Of intention
To keep out Of foreign wars and To
arm America to keep war away from
the western hemisphere.
A pledge Of aid, within the limits
Of international law, to oppressed
peoples" fighting for liberty or re-
sisting aggression.
Criticism of New Deal failure To
provide adequate defense and q
sharp attack on President Roose-
velt's provocative" statements and
acts which, the Republicans will
contend, have tended to involve the
United States In the present war.
Both isolationists, headed by
Chairman Herbert X. Hyde Of Okla
homa, and advocates Of aid short Of
war TO the Allies, represented by
former Kansas Governor ALI M
Landon, 1885 candidate, head Of the
foreign affairs subcommittee, ex-
pressed confidence that there would
be no minority report on the foreign
affairs plank. 1t thus was apparent
that 1t was broad enough to meet
both views. Additionally, It does not
tie the hands Of their presidential
nominee In event Of major world
developments In the months between
now and November s, and at the
same time apparently avoided q
bruising floor fight on the isolation
ist-interventionis issue.
On domestic issues, the drafting
committee decided that the Wagner
act should be changed--hut did moi
specify how--and thus went beyond
the labor subcommittee report which
merely called for more equitable
administration Of the law.

Even the most hard-boiled veterans
of political conventions will tell you
that they always experience q cur
iously heady and blood-tingling
thrill when thousands of human be-
ings simultaneously stirred, Jump
to their feet and cheer their heads

Such occasions normally occur
when speaker says something
which peculiarly satisfies or excites
his hearers, or when q magnetic
and well-beloved leader Is speaking.
But last night, the Republican
party's 1000 delegates and alter
mates, and the conventions $4,000
guests, staged q spontaneous demon
stration that had nothing to do
with politics or speeches or candi-
dates.
