WORTHWHILE TRICKS.
Thanks to Mrs. E. L. G.,
Tnkor1n Park

love the Clearing House. 1t gives
city dWeners such a nice opportu-
nifty to talk over the back fence with
their neighbors. And such nice
neighbors!
I have just learned trick which
I think worth passing on. If the
safety valve (either the rubber kind
or the fusible plug) on your pressure
cooker blows because Of too much
pressure, it can be replaced by the
rubber bulb from an eye dropper. It
looks kind of funny, but it works
and is perfectly safe.
wonder if the reader who wanted
suggestions for removing stains
from the inside of her narrow
necked glass coffeemaker could be
having the same experience I had
After trying in vain for long time
to remove stains from the inside, I
learned by chance, to my chagrin,
that they we're on the outside.
Securing powder removed them
easily.
I learned the hard way how i'm
portant it is, in making cakes, to
use the size of pan recommended in
the recipe In my simple ignorance
I disregarded this when making my
first fruit cake and oh my! Accord
ingly, for the benefit of those of US
who cook by recipes rather than in
stinct, it would be so nice If every
one submitting cake recipes would
give this information, as well as
oven temperature.

WOMAN scoRNED

THE fool that willingly provokes a
woman has made himself another
evil angel" stated Beaumont and
Fletcher. "A sighted woman knows
no bounds" said Vanbrugh. How
right they were In Pittsburgh. Pa.
a woman who said she was from
Canton. o., became irritated when
a bartender declined to serve her a
triple headed drink Of whiskey with
a beer chaser. so she hurled an ash
tray through one window, kicked in
another and upset garbage can on
the sidewalk. She was then arrested.
On the way to Jail she broke two
windows in the patrol wagon. She
told the police: THE only man who
can lick me is my husband" And she
added: HE overdid it, that's why ]
left Canton to come to Pittsburgh"

LUCKY NUMBER

Most hotels and many Office ouildI
ings do not have a thirteenth floor.
So there must still be many people
who are firmly convinced thirteen is
an unlucky number. How about you?
Anyway. John Jacob Hull of New.
ark. N. j., considered thirteen a
lucky number. He had thirteen LETT
tiers in his name. He attended Pub
lie School Is in Newark. He OBJ
tanned his first job on Feb. Is, 1878,
founded his first business on Feb,
l3, 1889. was married on April 13.
1893. and spent most of his married
life in a house that had thirteen
rooms. Mr.. Hull, who died at the ripe
old age Of eighty. was a successful
business man and a happy husband
who had much more good luck than
bad.

OF marriage a woman still does not
know how to cook that is different
She is either lazy or doesn't love her
husband. or both. When you see a
young woman who is eager to excel
as a cook and who takes pride in
serving good meals that is sign she
loves her husband.

ASKING

Queries from clients: Q. The women will greatly
outnumber the men in the postwar world Many
girls will be unable to get husband. Polygamy
has been suggested as a solution with men having
as many as three wives Do you think this is prac.
tical? A. II wouldn't be practical in New York.
AS has been observed: "Polygamy would never
succeed in Manhattan. Think Of three wives in a
htchenette." @. II you settle this argument our
family will be very grateful. What is the origin
of the saying: "Honi soft qui NAL pense. mean
ing Evil to him who evil thinksi" A. At a court
ball in England during the reign Of Edward the
Third the garter of the beautiful Duchess of Sails
bury became detached and fell to the floor At least
that was the kings explanation as to how it hap
pened he was holding the ladys garter in his hand
AS his majesty was returning the garter to the
Duchess he noticed some courtiers exchanging
knowing winks so he said: "Honi soft qui NAL

War Veterans
Award Rankin
NaZi SWastika

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
For his part in leading the fight
against the federal ballot for
soldiers, Rep. John E. Rankin ID.
of Miss.) was presented last week
with a ten-inch wooden swastika
by a delegation of veterans Of
World War and World War II,
war veteran members Of the United
Automobile Workers, CLIO, meeting
here.
After a vote by the body to
make the presentation to Rankin,
the delegation called at his office,
but did not find the Congressman
in. The swastika, the delegation
declared, was left at his office for
him. Congressman Rankin claimed
he did not receive it, saying he
understood a delegation had called
at his office and attempted to take
some pictures, but they had been
routed by the guards and their
cameras confiscated. He said they
must have taken with them what
ever they came to present.
Pictures, however, of the delega-
ton in Rankin's office, appeared in
some papers.
The delegation was led by a
wounded veteran of seven naval
battles in the Pacific - Wendell
Hardie, a gunner's mate.
On the swastika, it is said, was
the inscription: "To Rep. John E.
Rankin, presented by the veterans
of World War I and World War II,
as a token of their contempt for
his leadership in the fight against
the right of servicemen to vote in
1914"
Rankin takes great pride in
styling himself the champion" of
veterans. He is chairman Of the
House committee on World War
Veterans Legislation.

Alpha 32nd
Anniversary Was
April the 18th

Wednesday, April IL, marked
the thirty-second anniversary of
Mu Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity. It was thirty-two years
ago, several years prior to World
War I, that President Cyrus North
rop, of the University of Minnesota,
said to the Founders upon learning
of the proposed organization, II
am very glad that you propose to
form a club Of colored students
in the university. Such a club can
do much good in promoting friend
ship and acquaintance among your
selves and in securing respect from
others. It will be a stimulus to
faithful scholarly work and will
show what you are able to do"
The club from which Mu Chapter
was born was called the Pi Alpha
Tau Club. The club endeavored to
promote high literary and musical
ideals among the people Of the
Twin Cities. On April IL, 1912,
Mr.. C. C. Middleton of Michigan
came to the Twin Cities and es-
tablished Mu Chapter as a unit of
the great Alpha Phi Alpha Fratern-
ity. Charter members were Gale P.
Hilyer, Nelson D. Kicks, James L.
Titus, Benjamin F. Bullock, R. C.
Mccullough, Frederick L. Parker,
John H. Hickman, Jr., Raymond W.
Cannon, Jasper Gibbs, Jr. and
Louis C. Vale. Of these ten the
last four named are still living as
residents of the Twin Cities.
From Mu Chapter have gone
many of our finest and most ac-
complished men. In World War I
several members served the nation
and in the present conflict many
past and present members are serv-
ing in the armed forces of their
country.
One member of this chapter dis
tinguished himself in the fratern-
ity to such an extent that he served
four terms as National President.
This was Raymond w. Cannon, at
torney in Minneapolis.
On Monday evening April IT. Mu
Chapter will celebrate its Thirty
Second Anniversary at the beauti-
full Keller Golf Club with Formal
Party.
Students of the University of
Minnesota, Hamline University,
Manchester College, Minnesota Law
College, St. Paul College of Law,
St. Thomas College and st. Olaf
College are eligible to membership
in the fraternity upon meeting GER
tain qualifications.
Most noteworthy among the
chapters achievements are its past
Go-To-High School, Colo College
campaigns and the leadership in
scholastic ranking among all fra
ternities at the University Of Min
nesota in 1881.
Present officers of the chapter
are: President, John R. Lawrence;
ce-President, DIR. C. C. Hill; Sec
rotary, John M. Patton; Assistant
Secretary, Henry r. Thomas; Edi-
tor to the Sphinx, DR.. C. C. Hill;

ices namely: N. Walter Coins,

son, Ollie Griffen, Norman p.
