Dear Almanack:

Some time ago you published
Mrs. John Logan's recipe for ice
box rolls which required no
kneading," writes Mrs. Myron
Schlechter, Amherst. Ohio. Il
have a recipe for which have
received many and many a COM
pliment and / think is equally as
good so would like TO pass it on.
/ also make pecan rolls, honey
rolls, cinnamon rolls and coffee
cake without adding more TO the
dough.
put q cup Of shortening and
/ cup Of boiling water into one
bowl. In another bowl mix 2
beaten eggs, q cup sugar. / tea
spoon salt and~~l cup Of cold
water. Combine these two mix
lures. Dissolve 2 yeast cakes in
!. cup lukewarm water and add
10 mixture. Stir and beat in
about Z cups sifted flour. This
mixture will not be nearly as
stiff as kneaded dough and will
stir without too much effort. Put
dough into two bowls, cover and
place in icebox. When dough is
chilled it's ready to make into
rolls. This dough will keep nicely
a week in the icebox. Place part
of dough on Toured board and
roll out 10 \ inch thickness
using as little flour as possible.

Export Proposal

What Is thought to be worlds
record blitz attack has just been
made by that old campaigner, Dan
Cupid. Concentrating his powerful
artillery on one very attractive OBJ
jective, a Czecho- -Slovakian skating
star, he has subjected her to an
intense bombardment of no less than
$500 marriage proposals, all within
few days after it became known
that she was threatened with depor-
tation on account of an expired
passport.
OF course, every one of the $500
chance-takers first had a good look
at the lady's photograph, which is
very easy on the optics, and unques-
tionably that had a lot to do with
their patriotic decision to prevent at
all costs, even matrimony, the un-
warranted export of something
greatly valued in America. Certain
American spinsters may think this
unfair, but after ali there are few
involuntary members of that sorority
in these days of beauty parlors and
other feminine spare part and repair

Rumuniu's Contribution

A brief Associated Press dispatch
from Bucharest, which might we'll
have been overlooked by many read
ers of the more sensational reports
from the European war theater, an
nounces that "all able-bodied Ru-
manians twelve years of age and
over, regardless of sex, will be drafted
for agricultural labor"
Between the lines of this terse re-
port may be read the story of the
tragedy which has overtaken Ru-
mania since her adherence to the
axis, nor can it's harsh outlines be
softened by the ablest of Nazi apollo
gists. Henceforth, Rumania'S role is
to serve her German master, and to
that end even the boys and girls are
to be drafted for forced labor in the
fields so that the armies of the Reich
may be fed.
If there is any place in the world
where Nazi professions of fellowship
and good will still are accepted at
their face value, the new era which
is dawning for Rumania's twelve
year-olds should dispel the last of the
illusion.

Virginia Redistrictinq

Northern Virginia residents can
derive qualification from the steps
being taken to reward their long and
fully justified efforts to obtain larger
representation in the General
Assembly. Under plans now being
advanced by redistricting commits
sion, the heavily populated section
of nearby Virginia would gain a new
Senator and two new Delegates at
Richmond.
The Census Bureau credits the
twenty ninth senatorial district,
comprising Arlington, Fairfax and
Prince William Counties and the city
of Alexandria, with a population of
149, 9,230-the largest in the State.
Actually, due to growth in recent
months of defense activities in the
Washington area, the population un-
doubtedly is considerably higher, and
Is steadily going up. Under the pro-
posal to give the county a second
Senator, another district, the elev-
enth, would be abolished and its four
counties absorbed in neighboring
districts. The new arrangement
would end the present disparity in
representation on the basis Of popu-
lation. which ranges from the las, ,230
Evening star., 1941-03-17

in the nearby district to 36,514 in
the fourth senatorial district COM
posed of Nelson and Amherst Coun-
ties.
The two new Delegates from
Northern Virginia would be among
seven new members of the House
suggested by the RediStricting Com
mission. One of them would come
from Arlington County, giving that
county two Delegates. The other
would be named from a floater dis
trict composed of Fairfax and Prince
William counties, or from Prince
William alone. Altogether, twenty
nine counties would have to be rear
ranged to provide for the changes
suggested. Hearings on the plan are
scheduled for this month. State Off
cials obviously realize that Northern
Virginia is entitled to greater repre-
Sentation. Some equitable plan of
redistricting should be agreed upon
as soon as possible so that it can be
placed in effect by the General As
sembly at the first opportunity.

Hatch Act Inquiry

The Civil Service Commission de-
cision to investigate charges of wide
spread Hatch Act violations in Illinois
brings into play for the first time
the new law forbidding political &C
tivity by State and local employees
whose functions are supported by

The inquiry, scheduled to touch
several points in the State, will go
into reported abuses in the last elec-
ton and, while the precise nature
of the allegations on which the COM
mission is acting have not been dis
closed, they are known to be of
sufficient gravity in some instances
to carry the threat of criminal pro-
ceedings. This is true with regard
