Gals at COOKING
In Fair Contest

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 3 (UP)-
A mere man had the gals on their
ear at the state fair today because
he outcooked them to win first
prize in the jam, jelly and pre-

mitted crabapple and plum jelly,
strawberry and berry jam and
peach preserve which were adjudged
better than those of a score of
experienced female contestants. 1t
was his first competition.
He explained, however, that he

was six years old, when he cooked
and preserved a jar of blackberry
Jelly. He guessed he could be called
Il COllCSC oIubCilo III jelly
since he had read all of the de-
partment Of agriculture and Un-
iVersity of California bulletins on
the subject.
Payne said his recipes were little
different from those of other cooks,
but advised precise handling of the
jams and jellies. He declared his
jellies were good because OF Clean
liness' and his "sun-oven".
The "sun-oven", he said, was a

it as a refrigerator in reverse

mind the fact that quite possibly

makes recognized genius or great

the strongest environmental factors
is the relationships the children
