WHAT WAS WRONGp

(Front Mrs. J. B., Indianhead, Md J
tried your recipe for carrot cake,
Mrs. M. c., Washington-the one
with seven eggs, ETC., and did not
have very good luck with it. When
I took it from the oven it fell to
about half the size and was like
custard at the bottom. Can you
please tell me what was wrong?
The recipe called for seven eggs,
separated; ! cup sugar, cups
grated carrots, lemon rind and
juice.
Was there anything missing in
the ingredients? The flavor was
grand and would like to try the
recipe again If you could tell me
what did wrong. baked the cake
at $50 degrees. Was that too slow?
I do hope hear from you again
soon.
ANSWER.
from Mrs. C. r. B., Wushinoton. J
Mrs. NJ j. B. D., Alexandria. Re-
garding the Dutch Strawberry Cake.
The recipe sent in is for the top
OF the cake only. Use for the bot
tom part the recipe given by Mrs.
G. H. S. Try this cake with sour
cherries adding little sugar. It
is excellent.
CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENT.
(Fron1 Mrs. L. w., Arlington.)
First, thanks for the inestimable
assistance your column contributes;
and my thanks to all who have
shared their bits of advice and re-
cipes.
Second, in May / paper Mrs. s. B.
r. under Suggestion" complains.
Why can't the irony be omitted from
column of pleasant reading where
women are able to enjoy harmony
through the medium Of a newspaper
which can't seem to be maintained
through association? It Is true, some
Of the items have no interest to me
but feel they are helping some
one who asked for, and presumably
desired them, and after all, that Is
what the column is for, isn't it?
Third, a suggestion-likely to be
very impracticable. clip a great
many articles for my scrap book Of
recipes and have often times no.
ticed that, if rearranged, hint or
suggestion could have been carried
over to the next column whereas the
continuation of the recipe was car
ried over. I have lost portions Of
a couple recipes in this way. Care
lessness on my part, I admit. Not
in any way complaint-merely a
suggestion, I hope. However, 7

In response to Mrs. e. r. D.,
Mount Rainier, in regard to age
when a child should be taught to

NATURALIZATION
OF BANK FAVORED

PARIS Oct. Is Up Mathematics
ton of the Bank of France-a So
cialistic step similar to the British
Labor government proposal for
the Bank of England-is a plank
in the program of the Leftist par
ties for the Oct. q elections here.
Opposed by the parties of the
right and center, it is not expected
to become an issue of debate until
the election assembly begins its de-
alterations. 1t is an example of the
difference in character of France
five main party groups.
Represented in the election by
about $500 candidates, 298 of them
women, the main parties and their
programs are:
Socialists, headed by Leon Blum,
favoring further naturalization OF
French industrial and commercial
life; a Constituent Assembly that
will frame a new constitution, an
assembly named provisional gov.
eminent to continue in power while
the Constituent body sits. In Blum S
words: 'Capitalism has divided the
nation. Socialism must unite the ma
ton. The role of the Bourgeois cap
italist is ended. It is the workers
and producers who most take their
place."
The Communists, headed by
Maurice Thorez, favor complete
state control of almost all phases
of human existence; a Constituent
Assembly that will draw up a new
constitution but be sovereign and
not under the executive authority
of Provisional government. In the
words of the party organ Human
tie: Effect the naturalization OF
monopolies in fact. Protect and aid
small business, the craftsman,
small commerce against the trusts
who wish to wipe them out to ia
cilitate their domination of the ma
tional economy"
The Radical-Socialists, headed by
Prewar Premier Edouard Herriot,
opposes naturalization and is
against new constitution. Herriot
says: 1--WE are for normal and
peaceful evolution. we are for pro-
gress, against adventure. We wish
to raise the living standard of the
worker, associate him with the di-
rection of business, dc for him what
the grand revolution has done for
the peasant"
The right group consists of two
parties, the Federational Republi
caine, headed by Louis Marin,
which favors new constitution,
and the Alliance Democratique
headed by Prewar Premier Pau
Reynaud, which early in the cam
paign opposed new constitution
at the last moment left the decision
to individual party members, both
parties are hostile to state inter.
ference in industry and commerce
According to Marin: 1--WE want CO
ordination by the state of private
enterprise for the general welfare
but not state direction of the ma
tional economy. 1t is initiative ane
risk which justifies profit"
The Movement Republicaine
Populaire party, headed by Maurice
Schumann, is Socialistic party
which stands alone in favoring state
subsidies for religious education
but is leftist in favoring the So
cialist party program for NATIONAL
cations, and desires a new constl
ton. In the words of Schumann
"capitalism in unjust from the
moral point of view as well as In
operative from the social point o
view, but we do not wish that pub
lie powers place suffocatlng hane
on all activity in the country"

Willis Faces
Biggest Test
of Career Friday

Leroy Willis, who has distinguish
ed himself in every boxing test that
he has been asked to take thus far,
will receive the biggest test of his
youthful career on Friday night at
the Olympia.
On that occasion he will meet
Chalky Wright. former feather
weight champion in a hereunder
arranged by Nick Londes.
Although he is 33-years of age
and has been fighting almost two
decades. Wright still is rated one
of the best little men in the bust
ness. New York boxing experts class
him as the no. contender for both
the lightweight and featherweight
titles.
That there is some justification
for his ranking is proved by the
record. In his last bout he defeated
Bobby Ruffin, who is ranked as the
No. 4 lightweight. Previous to that
he defeated Willie Joyce, the Ma
tional boxing associations champion
and the No. lightweight. He has
knocked out Phil Terranova, the
fourth ranking featherweight and
the former champion.
Against WrightS skill and exper-
fence. Willis will have to put his
youth. willingness to fight, punch
ilg power and boxing ability. De-
troit admirers are convinced that
the pride Of paradise alley will sur
vive this test just as he survived
al: the others to which he has been
put thus lar He has been outpointed
only twice in his professional career,
ana his record gives him a chance to
score an upset against boxing's old
man river.
