district attorney, stating that the
yearly cost of crime was ap-

how the businessmen of any COM

authorities could help reduce this
sum. He referred to jury duty as
"the most fascinating, instructive,
emotional experience of a mans
life"

St. Lawrence Project in
Star Forum Broadcast

Construction of the proposed st.
Lawrence Seaway was discussed
last night in the National Radio
Forum by two House members,
Representative Ellis, Democrat, of
Arkansas, who supports the plan,
and Representative Van zandt. Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, who op-
poses it.
The forum, arranged by The Star
and broadcast over a National
Broadcasting Co. network, was heard
locally over Station WMAL.
The text of the address by Rep
reSentative Ellis follows:
On June 5 President Roosevelt
recommended to Congress the de-
velopment of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence Seaway. He urged that.
as a part of the common effort of
the two democracieS to keep the evil
wave of FaciSm from our shores,
we join with Canada in harnessing
the vast power of the st. Lawrence
River, now running in Wanton
waste to the sea, and in eliminating
the barrier that stands between our
great inland waterway system of
the Great Lakes and ocean navi-
cation.
1t is interesting that rol ghly

States and Canada has beer ap-

interests oppose the development of

The st. Lawrence project will add
to our available electrical energy an
amount which if transformed into
aluminium would make 10000
planes; it will open up facilities for
ship construction which, as Mr.
Knudsen has pointed out, could
deliver 100000 to million tons of
new ships year. even while this
project is under construction: it will
offer transportation route for 10
100000 additional tons of freight at
time when our railroad facilities

shorten by a thousand miles the
dangerous open water route of our
aid to the beleaguered British Isles.
Some have suggested that the war

benefits of this construction. And
said Mr.. Knox, I'VE are going TO
live in a disturbed world for long
time"
But the opponents have been
obliged, in a miserably poor show
ing, to rest their case largely on
the argument that the project is
economically unsound.
I come from part of the country
which has benefited little to date
from the industrial development of
the rest of the country and which

could obsess a nation to measure
the necessities of a world struggle
in terms of what in the past has
proved profitable to a favored few?
This is a war of production. The
President stated it clearly and en-
phatically in his message, and I

hazardous route to the British Isles
1t has been my privilege for the
past three weeks, as member of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee OF
the House of Representatives, tc
participate in hearings on the pro-
posal. We have heard Secretary
of War Stimson, Secretary of the
Navy Knox and o. p M. Director
Knudson all urging speed in the
interest of national defense. We
have heard Secretary of Commerce
Jesse Jones brilliantly picture its
importance to the country's total
industrial and commercial vitality
We have heard Assistant Secretary
of State Berle explain the proposal
in the light of threatening interna-
tional developments. We have heard
Chairman OldS of the Federal Power
Commission in an eloquent appeal
for the immediate utilization of the
rivers enormous power resources.
And finally we have heard Gen
Robins of the Corps of U. S. Army
Engineers reveal the comprehensive
plan for all these benefits at minn-
mum of cost.
This expert testimony was sub
mitted by men charged with the
defense of this Nation. They have
no AK to grind. All of them have
stated that, in their opinion, the
project is vital to the national safety
in the critical times that lie ahead
If we don't follow our chosen leaders
on matters of defense, whom shall
we follow?
What a boon it would have been
to our present defense program"
said Mr.. Knox, had this project
been constructed when first recon-
mended."
D0g-in- -Manger Attitude.
Most railroads, protecting the
value of topheavy capital struc-
ture, view with alarm any proposal
to make available TO the people of
the United States the natural ad-
vantageS of water tranSportat ton by
development of the rivers with
which this country is SO generously
endowed. Their dog-in-the-manger
attitude disregards the fact that

ago as a mere experiment, the new
mode of costume today filings chal-
lenge to designers to give their best
to a movement that is advancing in
leaps and bounds to unqualified ac-
ceptance by women everywhere,
women who recognize the chic, the
comfort and the ease that slack cos
tunes offer.
A few seasons ago the wearing OF
Stacks was restricted to certain
time, place and occasion and if you
ventured beyond prescribed pro-
gram you were made to feel con-
spicuous. Nowadays Stacks cos
tunes are so generally worn, moth
ing less than a whole wardrobe of
Stacks is required in order to keep
up with the social and fashion de-
mands of the times.
Impetus has also been given to the
Stacks costume movement owing
to the spreading of interest in civil
ian defense works which is creating
a new and Nest exciting demand
for slack outfits, because of the need
of durable workaday clothes.
Among college girls who are taking
courses in Emergency mechanics, !"
there is a call for trouser costumes
and coveralls made of denim, CAB
ardine and other sturdy materials
that will be increased as the fall
school terms begin.
However, the workaday idea is
but a single phase and very recent
development of the slacks-trousers
costume theme, and there will be
much to say later in this regard.

being unfolded at vacation resorts
and amid home environs, a story so

thrilling in interest and so wide in
scope it carries through from sum

hours of calendar day and night.
And so, while the vacation spirit
is going strong throughout the ma
ton, fancy turns to cool sleek
streamline types such as the trim

with precision and cut to give the
style-correct streamline silhouette,
this is type that makes instant
appeal to best-dressed women.
Over this smart outfit the wearer
losses one of those short wool jack

In the same category as this

LYNN SAYS:
Did YOU know that:

Did you know that:
Ice creams should stand sew
eral hours to blend or ripen the
many f1avors combined in them?
Each flavor will stand out sepa-
rately if the mixture is not prop
erly ripened.
Texture is. affected by the
method of freezing? Ice cream
will be coarse and rough if frozen
too quickly, whereas slower
freezing improves texture. Be-
fore putting the cream in the
freezer it should be properly
whipped or it will be icy.
Richer mixtures give smoother
textured ice creams? The
amount of fat in che cream also
affects the flavor. Richer ice
creams have full bodied flavor.
Ice cream expands? If the ice
cream is we'll made, it expands
to at least one-third more than
it's original size, and that this
has an important bearing on fla
vor. If frozen too rapidly, ice
cream is prevented from increas-
ing size.
Flavors should be lightly sug-
gested, not pronounced? Amount
and quality of extracts used are
very apparent in the finished
product.

delectable cakes and choicest ice
cream. There, too, you'll find lem
onade, ''made in the shade by the
old maid"
There was time when an ice
cream social, though as pleasant an
affair as you'd find on the summer
calendar, carried with it great
deal of careful preparation. Ice
cream had to be kept in heavy con-
tainers which in turn were wrapped
in blankets, and if the speeches and
program lasted too long it was
apt to be more melted than icy
when you were finally served. But
no longer do you have such risk.
The ice cream can be stored in your
refrigerator and it will be kept real
ly hard.
Making ice cream with the freez-
er method is fun, and usually the
whole family gets together to do
some of the crankihg. The freezer
has wooden or metal bucket hold
ing the ice and salt and a non
rusting metal container with a close
ly fitting cover for holding the mix
ture to be frozen. The mixture is
stirred by paddle attached to the
crank which is operated by hand,
and sometimes by small electric
motor.
Use three parts of ice to one part
of salt. Turn the crank slowly at
first for about five minutes or until
the mixture stiffens, then as quickly
as possible until it is difficult to
turn. This takes about six minutes.
Add more ice and salt if necessary.
Pour off salt water, push down ice
and salt being careful to get none in
the can of ice cream.
Wipe top of can, uncover, take out
the paddle, and beat the frozen
mixture with wooden spoon. Cover
can with wax paper, and pack
again. Let stand several hours to
ripen.
If you would be famous for your
ice creams and have them spoken
of we'll at the social, follow direc-
tons to get the desirable smooth,
creamy triumphs. Ice cream free
from crystals and splinters will get
first prize every time.

most of the celebrated men of his
