burgers with all the fixings, dough-
nuts, coffee or cider.
I'm afraid I've taken up too much
space to write down more menus.
Plan according to your crowds likes
and dislikes Of food. Usually, each
hostess has her own unusual center
piece and favors with baskets for
nuts or candy or place cards; and
one has quite collection upon
reaching home. Nothing need be
elaborate or expensive-and this
goes for the meals, too. If you don't
care to bother with all the trim
mings, concentrate on your CENTER
piece and serve buffet style. I've
been to these parties whose theme
was having decorations in Hal
loween, Christmas, Valentine, etc.,
motifs. We had one once a month
or every two months, and I can
truthfully say We eagerly looked for
ward to each party.
For games, we usually waited
until reaching the last house
played some form of cards-or a dice
game c'bug'D-or used those punch

where each individual performed the
act required on the slip of paper
punched. There are many other
games to playa first and BOBBY
prize can be given. Hope your par

TO CLEAN GAS STOVE.

TO CLEAN GAS STOVE.
From Mrs. r. M. A., Washinoton. }
For Mrs. A. w. An easy and thor
ough way to clean a gas stove is to
put the parts in a bathtub full of
not, strong, soapy water. { A~rag
under them prevents scratching. )
When the water is cool enough to
handle, scrub the parts with a stiff
brush. If crusted grease resists even
this, then burn it off over the light
ed stove burners. Don't do this to
good stove; it spoils the enamel
finish. My stove is an old one with
cast-iron parts.

In response to the request for
ideas on a progressive" dinner
party, I hope my suggestions will
prove helpful.
During the time I was in high
school we girls always complained
for lack of something to do. One
girls mother suggested the progress
sive dinner party, as it was fast
becoming favorite form of enter
tainment among the grownups.
We began with just girls present
at first, and later on invited boys.
Fun was had by all.
Now, as to the menu and courses.
There Is the soup course, salad
course, main course, dessert and
beverage course. One or more per-
sons can be responsible for a course
at an individuals home-and be CO.
hostesses If preferred. Those giving
the party can plan accordingly with
each others courses. But, we found
it fun to surprise every one and
keep the menu of the courses secret;

Clementine's lover. Start it at
Ocala and dig eastward and west
ward from that point. On the
north side post the sign, Free

will have one of these Chamber
of Commerce welcome" signs, in
ferring that all of our rooms are
for rent and that we sleep in the
garage because we love the
strangers. Square in the middle
there should be a third sign as
surfing the incoming voyager that
no matter on which side he gets
off, he has struck something far
better than he PROBABLY deserves.
But don't let's kid ourselves
that any one man is going to be
good governor for both sections,
or that the people who raise goob-
Iers. surghum and wild hogs are
going to find representatives who
will agree with those selected by
an electorate which concentrates
on mangoes, sick Yankees and
race tracks. Let us have peace
two pieces, please-North Florida
and South Florida. Both good,
but to be kept in separate bot

Three Swings df Happy ChandIer-PCL Major
 Status Passed
BY HAROLD HARRISON

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 3.-Major league baseball magnates were Chi cago-bound today, faced with the job of deciding whether to join the minor loops in clipping the powers of Baseball Commissioner A. B. Happy Chandler
 The minors, who ended their big gest convention in history here yes terday, took three separate cracks at Chandler's powers but all must be approved by the majors at their convention in Chicago next week before they can be written into base ball law
 The minors first voted to take the postwar baseball promotional or ganization out of the commissioner office and approved a proposal to take away from the commissioner the right to construe any major minor league rule as being "detri- mental" to baseball They finished off the job yesterday by refusing to amend their own bonus regulations which Chandler had called Illegal and unfair and then voted to pro- hibit both the majors and the minors from paying any bonuses for the signing of contracts.
 With that done, the minors fin ished off their three-day official sessions by turning over to the major leagues their approval of placing the Pacific Coast League in a major loop classification.
 Then the 1,178 registered dele gates, guests and assorted badge wearers stampeded back to their home cities and to Chicago.
