In Meetings

Several changes in meetings of
citizen associations this week, oc-
casioned by the New Year holiday,
have been noted, as only seven

of the District Building. The
presentation is expected to be made
by Jesse c. Suter of The Star and
a delegate to the federation from
the Association of Oldest Inhabit-
ants. The cup is presented annual
ly to the delegate who is consid-
cred to have made the greatest civic
contribution.
The changes necessitated by the
holiday have resulted in the post
ponement of the Trinidad associa-
ton until the last Tuesday in Janu-
ary. This months meeting occurred
on New Year Eve, so it was decided
to cancel 1t.
One group, however, Southeast.

planes that are being manufactured,
we could still say Merry Christ
mas!" and mean it for just that, and
we can also express the hope for a
Happy New Year" without feeling
that the words are hollow and the
meaning shrouded in the possibility
of bombings and death and destruc-
ton.
And believe that this Christmas
We have just enjoyed has really been
one of the happiest and merriest
that American citizens have expert
enced in many years. For we have
had brought home to us in no un-
certain terms the great good fortune
that is ours in being privileged to
live in country where democracy
Is still recognized as the desirable
form of government and where free
dom of speech, thought and action
are still the rule and not the ex-
ception.
Rebirth of Thankfulness.
I am certain that it is because
we have experienced a rebirth of
thankfulness for our privileges that
we here in Washington especially,
have provided such an ample Christ
mas for the needy families of our
city. Certainly this amazing out
pouring of money, clothing and
toys which has been the tangible
response to newspaper and radio
appeals can be explained most
satisfactorily in that way. For when
the grand totals are computed and
the entire story of this 1910 Christ
mas is told, am certain we shall
find that no needy person in all Of
the Nations Capital has gone un-
remembered, and that no child has
lost his faith in Santa Claus.
am most happy that the District
Of Columbia Congress Of Parents
and Teachers has had a definite
part in assisting in providing this
Christmas for the needy of our
city. I should like to express our
grateful thanks to the Washington
newspapers. radio stations and to
the public generally for making this
wonderful Christmas possible, for
we of the Parent Teacher Asso-
citation are vitality concerned with
the well-being of children, and we
have known of so many instances
where food and fuel, as well as
clothing were needed. I should
also like publicly to acknowledge, on
behalf of the congress, our indebted
ness to Mrs. H. E. c. Weber, who
was in charge Of the distribution

10 Delay Arguments
On Monopoly Report
Some Talk Is Heard
Action Might Head OF
Congressional Inquiry
By WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

The Federal Communications
Commission tomorrow will study a
proposal to postpone oral arguments
on the report Of its committee in
vestigating alleged monopolistic
practices il chain broadcasting
Some F.. C. G. members are said to
desire to have arguments post
poned, or even eliminated altogeth-
er, because of the highly contro-
versial nature of the report.
1t also was learned that some OF
the commissioners have resented the
tone of some of the briefs filed in
the case. The suggestion for post
ponement Of the arguments has be-
hind 1t the belief that If the COM
mission acts on the report before
the new Congress meets, it will head
OF possible congressional investi-
cation.
Others believe that, no matter
what the commission does about the
monopoly report, there is certain to
be congressional investigation of
both the administration of the COM
mission and the operations of the
industry. much OF which will go
over the same ground covered by
the Monopoly Committees investi-
cation.
Because of the claim Of broad
casters that adoption of the report,
together with rules to carry out its
recommendations, would spell the
end of chain broadcasting as 1t is
known today, representatives rf the
industry have shown in their briefs
that they are ready to put up stiff
night
Attorneys for radio stations af-
filiated with chains say that while
their stations, in some cases, get
only small income from chain
broadcasting in actual dollars re-
ceived, they do get what they con-
slider very valuable assistance in the
sustaining programs of national in
terest, which helps them to build up
a listening audience for their local
programs.
The commission also is expected
to get a report this week on re-
sponses to the committees telegram

We crave cooling drinks during
warm weather. Few of us realize
that this craving Is really the hody's
demand for more liquid to take the
place of that lost through perspira-
ton. The hotter the day and the
more active we are, the more we
feel desire for something cold and
refreshing to drink. We are indeed
wise II we heed the warming and
furnish liquid literally to our bodies.
Fruit salads, fruit cups and fruit
desserts give us great deal of
liquid in very pleasing form. Iced
tea with liberal quantities of lemon
juice Is another ideal medium for
securing liquid.
But on hot days we cannot limit
our liquid intake to mealtime. We
want a cooling glass of lemonade
once or twice during the day. Or we
may prefer orangeade, fruit punch
or ginger flip. The children, in
from a romp, can profitably Join us
In this kind Of cooling beverage,
without spelling their appetites for
the meal ahead.
Lemons blend with almost any
thing used in the summer beverage.
Despite their acid taste, lemons pro-
duce an alkaline reaction in the
body. They contribute to the need
ed mineral supply of calcium, phos-
phorous and potassium. They slim.
ulate the appetite, promote diges-
ton and serve as a non-habit form
ing regulator.
So here are a few heMthful sum-
mer thirst quencher suggestions:
Sunkist Lemonade
For each person served, allow:
Sunkist lemon
I to 3 tablespoons sugar or
honey
I cup cold water
Ice
Extract lemon juice. Add sugar to
taste. Stir to dissolve. Add water.
Serve over ice in large glasses. Gar
nish with lemon slice on rim and q
cherry, if desired.
Lemon Fizz: Make Lemonade with
water.

"A Short Cut
To Making


Little hands come to the table
clean. Sue dusts the top Of the pic
ture frame now. Jack wants to
know what he can do to help in the
kitchen. Life with father is delight
full.
There's but one explanation -
berries are ripe and it's shortcake
time.
To take full advantage of the
fresh fruit season, Inez S. Wilson,
home economist, suggests you keep
a homemade shortcake mix on hand
to save time and trouble.
ShOrtcake Shortcut
cups -four
Ia cup baking powder
Ia cups sugar
teaspoons salt
LIZ cups lard
Sift -four and measure, Sift again
with baking powder, salt and sugar.
Lightly cut in the lard until the
mixture has a fine, even crumb.
Place mixture in a closed container
and keep In refrigerator.
To make shortcake measure the
quantity desired, usually from Q to
3 cups Of the mixture, depending on
the size Of your shortcake. Add
enough milk to make soft dough.
Divide dough into two parts and rol!
about one-half inch thick. Place one
part In pan, spread with melted
butter and cover with other half.
Bake at 400 degrees F. for twenty
five minutes or until brown. Slice
strawberries, sweeten and let stand.

Refreshing
Beverage

Cooling and refreshing milk
drinks add zest and appetite appeal
to summertime menus. What's more,
they're packed with lusty nourish-
ment and thus are an ideal accom-
paniment for salad or sandwich
meals.
Iced Mocha is grand beverage
for mealtinae service-or as a re-
fresher any time Of day. This blend
Of fragrant coffee, cocoa syrup and
creamy-rich irradiated evaporated
milk, chilled to perfection, IS a de-
liciously inviting drink. If you 60
for the dramatic, touch off each
tinkling glass with a Whit of Gin

5 tablespoons cocoa
5 tablespoons sugar

Ia teaspoon salt
Ia cup hot water
cup Ice water
l-2 cups irradiated evaporated
milk
IL cups strong coffee.
Blend cocoa, sugar and salt. Add
hot water and stir until smooth.
Cook slowly over low flame 2 or 8
minutes, or until liquid is thick and
creamy. When cocoa mixture is
cold, add water, milk and coffee.
WhiSk with an egg beater and pour
over crushed ice. Yield: 5 servings.
Iced Mocha Is illustrative of the
many excellent and nutritious milk
drinks which can be prepared with
rradiated evaporated milk - the
concentrated whole milk which
abounds in the important bone and
tooth building vitamin D. This dou-
ble-rich milk, because Of its con-
centration and the homogenized
character Of the milk solids, pro-
duces drinks which are creamy
rich in flavor and superbly smooth.
Try it in all your milk drinks -
you will like the rich quality it i'm
parts.

luscious concoction is decorative -
yet simple to prepare. The Soft

can be made up In the cool Of the
