On Men s Cook Books
BY CaSzOeH adams

Browse bit in the rare boob
, room of any big public library ano
!; you'll find that even hundreds OF
years ago the best cook books were
written by men. While many OF
them were not cook books in our
present sense of the word-full oi
specific tested recipes and practical
directions for cooking-they were
devoted to food and to the fine art
of eating and drinking.
Down through the years the pat
tern has been followed, with names
known to all gourmets-Escoffier
Careme, Brillat-Savarin and many
others. And our own times are no
exception. Some of the finest books
on food and on cooking in recent
years have been written or compiled
by masculine epicures, such as Cros-
by Gaige, William Rohde, Charles
Brown, James Beard, Louis dat,
Achmed Abdullah and others equal
ly famous.
1t is an odd thing, but, with Ger
tain exceptions, such as M. F. K.
Fisher, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlins,
Jeanne Owen, Mary Frost Mahon,
and one or two others, few women
can write lightly and amusingly about
food. I'm not denying that most of
our really practical and detailed
cookery books have been produced
by women, for that is all too true
but do maintain that as far as the
pleasure of food is concerned, not
.. many women write Of it interest
. ingly. The technical cook books fl
, an essential place in the daily life
! of all homemakers but they are a;
! TAR removed from the volumes deal.
ing with the pleasures Of the table
, as is the school history book from
the historical novel.
, Take, for instance, the latest of.
, fering of that epicure, Herman
! Smith, whose delightful "Stina, thu
> Story of Cook" gave me such
: pleasure when it first appeared
0 Smith combines charming prose
r with sprinkling of technically
: presented unusual recipes. On
reads the accounts of his travels il
! his new book, kitchens, Near ane
v Far" recently published by M. Bar.
$ rows & Co., with sheer joy, and ther
r turns to trying out the recipes with
all the anticipation engendered, b,
e his tempting phrases. Each group O
recipes is set like cluster of gem
in mounting of golden prose ant
shines with far more luster and ap
peal than If coldly presented as al
unset, unaSsociated stone.
Herman Smith makes one want t
o eat every dish that he mentions

CHEESE CAKE?
(ReQueSted by Miss r. T.,
Tdkon1 Park.

wonder If any of your readers
could help me with this problem: I
have an excellent recipe for cheese
cake, taken from the Clearing
House. l have tried it number OF
times, and while the cake itself is
delicious, it never turns out as high
as the cakes sold in the Jewish
bakeries and delicatessens. Even
though I leave the cake in the oven
for some time after the heat is
turned off, no matter how high the
cake is at first. it gradually drops
down to about half its original
height and is not as light as 1t
might be.
Several of my friends have tried,
with the same results. Would baking
powder help? I would appreciate
any suggestions, as it is such a
delicious cake except for this one
fault.

To Mrs. T. H N, Washington: You
must not grease your sponge cake
pans as this will cause the cakes to
fail to rise. Also they must be left
to cool in the inverted pan. Remove
only after cool. Also do not beat
egg whites dry, only stiff. Use care
in folding not beating the whites
into the batter. If these rules are
followed in sponge cake making and
proper baking temperature observed,
you should have no more failures.

Statement ON
.c0-0PS MADE TO
Rep. Committee

Farmer eo-operatives are paying
taxes on the same basis as profit cor
porations, partnerships and proprie
tary businesses, the National Coun'
ell of Farmer Co-operatives declared
today in a statement submitted to
Daniel A. Reed, (NY), chairman of
the Republican Postwar Tax Study
Committee.
Groups unfriendly to farmer coop
eratives have charged that huge sums
are escaping taxation, but this is not
true" John II. Davis, executive sec
rotary of the National Council, de-
clared in making public the statement
prepared by the legal and tax com
mittee of the National Council under
the Craftsmanship of Karl Loos.
The reason that many of them dc
not pay taxes on income Is that farm
er co-operatives generally operate on
a non-profit basis with the individual
farmers paying the taxes as do the
members of partnership or the pro-
prietor of any Northumberland bus
mess, said the report.
The statement gives detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the operation of both
marketing and purchasing agricultural
co-operatives, pointing out that mar
keting co-operatives are organized to
aid the farmer in obtaining a fair
price for his produce, while purchas-
ing co-operatives enable the farmer
to obtain his production supplies at
reasonable cost.
when farmers market through
their cooperative association almost
universally the operation is an agency
type of operation in which the coop
erative acts as the marketing agent
of the producer" the statement
pointed out. Amy underpayments on
the part of the cooperative acting
as an agent are paid to the farmer in

FINED $3.50
FOR CONTEMPT
Held Guilty of Contempt of
The Supreme Court by
Filing Motion for Correction
OF Minutes of Court Which
He Asserted Were Wrong.

Holding George E. Niewoehner of
White Sulphur Springs guilty of con-
tempt of the court by filing motion
for correction of the minutes of the
court alleging that the minutes were
wrong and misleading IN that accord
ing to his motion they showed Asso-
ciate Justice Left Erickson present
when he was absent, and by circulat-
ing letter to the lawyers of the state
making the same charges before the
court had acted on his motion was
denied, the Montana supreme court
last Wednesday fined Newcomer
$3.50.
The courts opinion and order, held
that the motion and the letter written
to the lawyers by Niewoehner, were
apparently INTENDED ~ respondent
(Niewoehner) to question and attack
the integrity of this court and to les
sen, if not destroy, respect for the
court. They were intended to en-
barass, hinder and obstruct the adj
ministration of justice by the court
and this they have done. They were
calculated to intimidate the court and
to coerce its action but in this they
have failed.
In denying Newcomers original
motion, the court expressed what was
commonly realized to be the fact that
the motion was for political purposes.
While the court did not openly state
the political purposes intended, this
wasn't essential as it was recognized
that it was filed for propaganda pur-
poses intended to bring about the de-
feat of Associate Justice Left Erick-

organized have been won. Great tasks
however, still lie ahead. We must
press the war against the enemy to
speedy and conclusive victory and
cleanse the earth of fascism, nazism
and Japanese Imperialism, and all
their evils. We must build the struc
ture of an enduring peace based on
| friendly collaboration among all free

an economy here at home that will
yield full production, full employment
and real security for our people. We
must extend and strengthen our de-
mocracy guaranteeing full political
and civil equality and equal economic
and cultural opportunities for all
Americans of every race, creed and
color
The result of the national elections
means that the fight for these great
goals can now go forward under more
favorable conditions But their at

or shorn of its power. The forces
of progress have weathered a grave

The National Citizens Political Ac-

rendered important service by stimu-
