Could some one tell me the
amount to charge for making

APPLE-ON-A-ST STICK?
From Mrs. H. NJ, Arlington.)
I wonder if any of the readers
could give me recipe for the
molasses- candy that is used to
cover apples on a stick. I have
never been able to make any brittle
enough. I would appreciate a recipe
that is only slightly chevy. I would
like to make them for Halloween

EGGPLANT FRITTERS.
PAINTING VASES.
From Mrs. r. E. ~, HughesuiHe,
Md.)
Some one almost gave my eggplant
fritters recipe so here is my full
version. Cut eggplant into 1a-inch
cubes after peeling, then cook ten
der. Pour off excess liquid, as it is
not needed. so don't cook in lot
of water. Place l pint cooked egg
plant in a mixing bowl. Add
beaten eggs, 2 cups any good self
rising pancake flour, 2 teaspoons
salt. Mix well, then drop by tea
Spoonfuls into hot fat. Don't worry
If you can't have real deep fat.
I have made fine fritters in only l
inch of very hot fat. Flavor apple
sauce with cinnamon and use over
these fritters or use sirup or honey
on them. My family really likes
eggplant this way.
Several years ago 1 saw a demon
stration on how to paint vases by
dipping them into water, on top
of which had been dropped several
drops Of paint. Several colors if
desired. This paint was blown by
mouth around and in this manner
mixed so as to produce beautiful
marbled look to the vase. I know
how to do the paint job, but can
anyone tell me whether it requires
any special kind of paint? While
the paint is in its mixed condition
YOU hold your vase IN your right
hand. placing the fingers inside the
mouth Of the vase Now turn the
hand around to the left as far as
possible so that as you lower the
vase into the paint you can turn
the vase around to the right as far
as you can turn the hand. Now, at
this point the vase should be en-
Itirely submerged and painted to the
tip top. Hold very still at this
point and blow the paint away
from the vase on all sides. Now
quickly raise the vase out Of the
water and set aside to dry. You
can use all sorts of shapes and sizes
Of bottles, jars, and real vases and
make them all sorts of colors, mar
bled or plain. You must use a
container deep enough to take care
OF the length Of the vase and wide
enough to blow away the paint.
think any Of our modern quick
drying paints would work fine.
FRUIT PIES; QUERIES?
From Mrs. W. r. B., Washington. J
There was a recent request by Mrs.
P. L. M. for a good cherry pie
recipe. Here Is very satisfactory
procedure for any fruit pie In
which the Juice not only does not
soak into the crust, but also does
not boil out. If you use fresh fruit,
stew 1t gently, using as little water
as possible to start cooking; then
thicken by adding . mixture Of

Meat Prices

It has been claimed in some quarters
that if meats are again placed under
federal price control the black market
will regain it's wartime grip, that the
only way to get meat prices down TO
a level that will be within the limits
of average housewives table allowances
is to keep all meats on the uncontrolled
list and that processing as a result Will
sooner or later catch up with demand.
There may be truth in both argu-
ments, but it is a fact that while there
has been more meat on the open mar
ket since OPA expired, and was revived
with meats unaffected by the revival,
prices have been exceedingly high, in
many cases as high as the black market
at it's peak, and SO retail buyers have
gained little if any advantage since they
no longer have to dole out ration cou-
pons for what they purchase.
The Eastern Meat Packers Associa-
ton, meeting in New York last week,
forecast that chaotic conditions in the
production and supply Of meat would re-
suit if price controls are restored, and
asked that a week Of grace be granted
packers operating along the Atlantic
seaboard. The Association declared that
already there has been a sharp reduc-
tic. in meat production because of pre-
vailing uncertainties.
There is considerable danger of cur
tailed production" said Wilbur LaRoe,
council of the Association, "since the
packing industry does not know what
the price of livestock or meat will be-.
If price ceilings are suddenly restored,
without a period of grace, the ceiling
prices would be placed on meats pur-
chased a week previously"
There is nothing unreasonable in
this demand for advance notice, but
what the American people want to know
if whether r%econtrol of meat prices
would give them a fair chance to have
a steak or chops on the dinner table
once in a while without paying as we
say through the nose.
Or should they turn vegetarian?

Lower Your Headlights

North Cardinals motor vehicle law
specifies that drivers approaching other
vehicles shall dim their headlights. Be
cause so many drivers have either for
gotten this requirement or are lndlt-
ferent to it, the Wilmington police de-
partment has started a crusade to stop
violations. It is intended to cite viola
tors to court and impose the punish
ment provided by law.
To have full effect the state high
way patrol and sheriff's deputies will
have to participate in the crusade. In
fact it is essential that they do so as the
majority of offenses are committed out
side police jurisdiction.
Careful drivers are continually en-
dangered by approaching vehicles whose
drivers refuse to lower their lights and
speed past with the full power Of their
own headlights binding drivers com
ing toward them.
So common is the offense that drlv-
ers are perpetually compelled to pull
over to the highway shoulder or street
curb and stop until the offending We
hicle has gone on.
It is not merely automobile drivers
who create the hazard. Both truck and
bus drivers are equally guilty.
Police Chief Charles H. Casteen
points out that it is mere courtesy to
fellow drivers to lower headlights when
approaching another vehicle. With the
police, with cooperation Of the state
patrol and sheriff's deputies, placing
offenders under arrest, it should not
take long to eliminate this accident
hazard, and night travel On streets and
highways be safe for all drivers.

Soap Box Derby

Well now, the Soap Box Derby is over
and the top prize goes to a San Diego,
California, boy, Gilbert Klecan.
Wilmington's entry, Tommy Will
hanson, though defeated by a few feet
in the first heat, finished the course
so nearly in record time that he may
well be encouraged to try again next
year.
It is none too soon for Wilmington
boys to begin thinking about the 1947
ace and start drafting designs for their
cars. That's the way racing cars are
made.
The engineers start a year or more
in advance of some particular test, and
as new ideas come to them study
whether they will improve speed before
adopting them. Then, if they believe
the idea will be an improvement, they
include it in their design, so that wher
the racing day arrives they have a ca,
that represents their seasoned judg'
ment.
The Wilmington Derby was quite {
venture last month-infinitely mor'
successful than anybody expected. B!

The Veto Power

There is general belief that the veto
power will be the chief issue before
the September session of the United Ma
tons General Assembly.
The veto is the authority granted in
the United Nations Charter for any
one of the five big powers, designated
as permanent members of the Security
Council, to kill any "question of SUBJ
stance" if that power does not approve
of it.
The Big Five line up this way:
RUSSIA: Strong for the veto as it is,
with a liberal way of interpreting ques-
lions on which to invoke the veto. 1t
is reported reliably in Soviet circles that
Russia has the firm, definite, and final
conviction that the veto should stand
without change.
UNITED STATES: Strong for the
veto but favoring it's use only on grave
and serious occasions, such as the pos
sibility of resorting to force to maintain
the peace.
GREAT BRITAIN: Also back of the
veto, with the feeling that it must
not be used lightly.
FRANCE: Still rebuilding after the
devastation of war and occupation,
France sees the veto as a good in
surance policy. Sitting between Russia
and the western powers, France con-
ceivably could use the veto as a balance
wheel. France already has shown signs
of being a prime mover Of compromises
in the Security Council.
CHINA: Agreeable to the veto now
but not too strong for it. China already
has offered to do away with the veto
on atomic questions, strongly indorsing
the United States atomic energy con-
troll plan in that respect.
On the whole four of the Big Five
powers recognize the veto authority as
something to be utilized in emergency
only, and then for the benefit of the
entire group, or for that matter for the
world at large. Russia has already en-
ployed it five times and may be sup
posed to view it, as it does all interna-
tional dealings, as something especially
designed for Russia's advantage.
What action the Assembly will take
next month is pretty much anybody's
guess.

IMPORTANT
BY L T. ELLIS


Mr.. Blank had been gravely ill
in the hospital, but was recover
ing. His temperature and blood
pressure wer dn, and he was to
go home on the morrow. But in
the absence of the physician. five
of Mr.. Blanks associates called to
discuss important business" and
the nurs mistakenly admitted
them.
They remained a long time, in
a vexatious discussion. The next
day Mr.. Blank died - killed by the
stupidity of important business"
When shall We learn that most Of
the things W. put into first place
belong in second place? Most cases
of nervous pr%ostration are cauued
by worry over matters that are
really secondary. Spiritual sereni-
ty, domestic happiness and good
health are so important that for
their sake almost anthing may be
chertully sacrificed.
W. pray our Father, for simpler
lives ana saner sense Of values,
that the cares of this world may
not choke the growth Of our souls.

paid up and has matured. the vet
eran gets the specified amount OF
money.
Veterans who have already con-
verified their term insurance to one

may now change over to one OF
tiIe endowment plans.
All restrictions as to the choice
OF beneficiary have been removed,
ANY person or persons, a CORPORA.
ton, or an estate may be named
as beneficiary.
The veteran may now provide
that his insurance be paid in a
slngle-lump- sum to be~neficiaries.
or he may have payments made in
equal monthly installments ranging
over a period ot from SO TO 24o
months.

insured veteran who is totally dis
abled for as long as six months
These payments are made at the
rate OF S. a month for each S10on

In a gay mood, he donned a big

Before the rain came, the Presi-

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

know that many of my read
ers like to see all So cards on
every hand, but occasionally l like
to give you just an honor com
blnation so you will study that
one situation. Today's combina-
ton was given to me by Charles
]. Solomon Of Philadelphia, a
Life Master of the American Con-
trace Bridge League. He said,
"You are in the dummy NORTH.
You will not be able to get into
dummy again-there are no other
entries. Spades r trumps and
you lead a small one from dummy.
East follows. Which card should
declarer play, one of the honors
or the nine-spot?" Solomon said
he had presented this problem to
a number Of experts and none had
been able to give a quick, definite
answer.
The correct play, he said, is the
nine-spot. The only combination
this loses to is the singleton ten
spot in the West hand. 1t West
holds the ace-ten or king-ten and
d%eclarer plays the nine on the first
round, Vests high honor and his
partners high honor will drop to-
gether on the next round. If West
holds the ace, king and ten, there
is no way to keep from losing
three tricks.
Experts generally agree on the
correct play of honor combina-
tons, and are usually opposed to
a first round finesse, but this is
n of the few exceptions.
