WASHINGTON. May 29-One Of
the most significant struggles of
the entire rearmament drive is now
beginning to take shape over this
question:
What part. if any, should the
antitrust laws play in the gov
ernmentS huge war emergency
spending program?
Bernard Baruch, who headed up
the famous War Industries board in
he last war has suggested the pres
ident be given emergency powers
to suspend these laws whenever
they interfere with the production
of War-eSSential commodities.
Any supervision of the antitrust
laws. however. will occur only over
the dead body of Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold. who runs
the antitrust division; and if it
comes to a showdown, remember
that Arnold is very close to Attor-
ney General Robert Jackson and
that Jackson is very close to the
president.

QUESTION: How can one prevent
pastry from sticking and break
ing at the edges when rolling
it out?
ANSWER: The best way to pre-
vent this difficulty is to use
pastry canvas on the rolling
board and cover on the rolling
pin. Stretch a piece of white
canvas taut over a dampened
table top. Cut the foot from a
child's white hose and slip the
hose over the rolling pin. Then
lightly flour the canvas and roll
ing pin and you'll find that the
pastry will roll out evenly and
without sticking.
QUESTION: Why do my Welsh
Rarebits. made with eggs, cream
and cheese, always curdle?
ANSWER: When making a custard
Rarebit, thickened with eggs, al
ways add scalded cream to the
beaten eggs to prevent curdling.
More important is the cooking
temperature. With the Hotpoint
electric range, for instance, 1t
isn't necessary to use a double
boiler; Just cook the mixture in
saucepan over the controlled
low heat, stirring occasionally,
until thick
QUESTION: How can I make
meringues that swirl and stand
in peaks?
ANSWER: To make a successful
meringue. beat the egg whites
until they hold a peak: then for
every white add 2 tablespoons
of sugar while beating constantly.
Spread the meringue over the pie
with swirling motion, using a
teaspoon. Meringues should be
baked in a slow oven. If your
range is one of the modern cleo
tric ones just set the tempera-
ture control of the oven to 3000
and bake the meringue for IS
minutes.
QUESTION:: What makes the crust
Of a butter cake soggy?
ANSWER: This is caused by the
cake steaming in the pan after
it is removed from the oven. To
prevent this, set the pan on a
cake rack about minutes, then
invert and remove the cake from
the pan.

W.C.T.U. Aids
In Project for

Ell Centro's Women's Christian
Temperance Union is cooperating
with the chamber of commerce in
providing a homelike reading room
for soldiers of the 18th cavalry sta
toned at Seeley.
At the meeting of the society
Tuesday at the home of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Emma McKusick, 846
Commercial, the women voted to
see that big reading table is sup
piled and to sponsor an appeal for
chairs and for good magazines and
books.
The chamber of commerce will
supply the lumber for the table and
the women will see that it is made,
the services of some of the hus-
bands being called in for this work.
In addition, on the opening day,
probably Saturday, a huge cooky
jar. filled with tempting homemade
cookies will be installed and the
w. c. T. U. will see that the supply
of cookies is constant.
Any resident of the district hav-
in chairs or magazines or books to
give to the reading room should
notify the chamber of commerce.
This room is located at 463 Main.
In view of the fact that the next
meeting of the union falls on the
day before Christmas, that meeting
will be postponed one week, taking
place Dec. 81 at the S. P. Holiday
