VAN DYKE - G.. Boyd Mac

named in hit-run warrant fol-
lowing the traffic death of
Joseph Baldwin on Oct. 10, 1943,
probably will not be prosecuted.
Prosecutor Wilbur F. Held,
who himself authorized issu-
ance of a warrant against Mac
Pherson shortly following the
tragedy, said today that a re-
view of the evidence had caus-
ed him to change his mind and
that, at the present time, he
does not believe prosecution will
result.
TECHNICAL ERROR
The original charge was
quashed June 2, 1914, by Circuit
Judge Alton H. Noe to whom
defense attorneys had pointed
out typist's error in the prep
aration of the warrant. The
case, however, was dismissed
without prejudice" which
meant that Held was at liberty
to reopen the case at his discre-
ton and upon preparation of a
properly typed warrant. The
matter of guilt or innocence
played no part in Judge Noes

There is nothing more delight
full than a box or dish of home
made CONNECTIONS. Candy making
candy buying and candy eat
ing are enjoyed by all. A box of
sweets, packed with care and

with IL the Christmas spirit and
cheer just as well as any other
gift.
There are a few important
points to follow in successful
candy making. Use a candy
thermometer TO determine the
exact temperature. The size and
kind of pan used in cooking are
important. Enough room should
be allowed for the mixture TO
boil briskly without OVERLOOKING.
Dissolve all sugar before boil
ing begins. Cook over a steady
m d UNI high heat. Wooden
spoons should be used as the
handles keep cool and there is
no chemical reaction. In testing
the candy remove from heat.
Keep candies covered in a cool
place but not in refrigerator.
Tin boxes are excellent for
keeping candies creamy.

Work Clothes
Laundry Tip

WITH so many men and
women doing war work in fac
tories il is timely TO suggest a
method of removing grease and
dirt from clothes. These ideas
will save you time and labor
when doing your washing. and
time is a precious item espe-
cially in time OF war and stress.
If your work clothes are
badly grease-spotted. soak the
spots in kerosene for at least
half an hour before laundering.
This will loosen the grease and
you will have less trouble and
spend less energy in scrubbing
when the time TO do the wash
ing comes.
For dirt-and in an industrial
city dirt is prevalent-lay the
overalls or Stacks fat on the
washboard and scrub with a
stiff brush. Then 10 ease this
labor for the next laundry day,
starch the clothes a bit after
washing.
