GRAPE WINE
From Mrs. H. r. A., Fdirt0r Station
Va.)
To the lady who wanted a Con-
cord grape wine. I have made this
for the past eight years from the
grapes out of my yard.
Grape Wine: Crush grapes after
washing and removing stems. Place
in large pot. generally crush
few at a time until the pot is pretty
full. Let stand for three days
Strain juice; to one gallon of juice
add one quart water and two and
one half pounds Of sugar. Put in
bottles and let stand three weeks.
Keep bottles filled with one bottle
you kept in reserve. Strain again
and bottle with tight corks. Wash
bottles well before you bottle the last
time with corks. This wine tastes
very much like Sherry. II you like
a sweet wine, add more sugar. Try
my way first. 1t is delicious in taste
and beautiful in color.

STICKING WAFFLE IRONS.
(From Mrs. r. T. M, Washington. J
For Mrs. E. B., of Washington,
who wanted to know what to do
when an electric waffle iron sticks.
I believe it may be due to either
of two things. Possibly both. We
have an old electric iron which re-
quires greasing. Even so, the FIRST
waffle almost always sticks. After
that they all slip out without any
trouble.
However, I have used new irons
and prepared mixes, and had them
stick every time.
Usually a little melted shortening
added to the batter eliminated this
trouble.

OLD FASHIONED CORNBREAD.
(From Miss v. ~, Wdshington.)
This is a recipe I have used sue
cessfully since I was 10 years old.
Put a little over one cup of butter
milk in pan, add one beaten egg,
l teaspoon salt, "a teaspoon soda.
Mix well. Add cornmeal until the
mixture is medium thick. If you
like it very crisp, make it very thick,
and thin with water or grease
(melted from cooking. The most
important thing in making this is
to have the pan hot. Use either
or cornsticks. Put cooking
grease in each compartment, put in
oven to heat. When hot, bring out
over a low flame on top of oven, and
pour mixture in. 1t rises quite
bit. This recipe makes IL corn
sticks.

German "Hunan Experimenters"
 Called Murderers

NUREMBERG, P)-Brig. Gen. Tilford Taylor demanded today that P men and a woman charged with conducting Nazi medical ex- periments on live victims be con- demned as murderers who poison ed the entire German medical pro fession under Adolf Hitler.
 Gen. Taylor opened the trial of high-ranking Nazi doctors in Jlc same court where Hermann Geor- ing, Joachim von Ribbentrop and other Nazi ringleaders were sen fenced to death last October. All pleaded innocent.
 In sharp, bitter tones, the Amer ican prosecutor outlined his case to an all-American court and as- serted: "The Third Reich died of its own poison" The defendants he said, contributed to that poison ing.
 "The victims of their crimes are numbered in hundreds of thou sands" Taylor told the court. GA handful only are still alive; few of the survivors will appear in this court room"
 The general declared the group operated directly under Heinrich Himmler and the armed forces and subjected Poles. Russians and Jews to fatal experiments under high altitude conditions, to sub zero freezing, to poison injections, and to enforced drinking of sea water.
 He declared the hearing was not merely a murder trial; that its real purpose was to show the German people the experiments he out lined were "fact and not fable"

Hotel Fire Claims Many Lives

ATLANTA, (P-The Winecoff hotel fire death toll climbed to l2O today a multiple investigations were ordered into Saturdays dis aster which was the nations most costly hotel conflgration.
 Three names were added to the death list. Mrs. George D. Burch, 20, of Chattanooga, died of injur- ieS suffered when she fell, 10 floors to canvas canopy when an improviSed rope of bed linen broke.
 Fire Chief C. C. Stryon said most of the deaths resulted from asphyxiation because smoke and fumes had no way to escape from the building.
 Styron said carbon dioxide gas pressure in the corridors and rooms prevented to some extent the spread of flames but took a terrific toll of life by smothering guests in their rooms.
 The fire chief said safety vents in the elevator shaft, the stair case and from the halls would have allowed the gas to escape. However, he added, the open pas sageways would have to be fire proof to prevent the spread of flames.

ALASKA AIRLINES REDUCE RATES

A ten per cent discount on all round-trip tickets over all routes operated by Alaska AirlineS was announced today by Ben. B. Ed wards, general traffic manager. This reduction in round-trip fares will effect a saving to more than one hundred cities and communi- ties served by Alaska Airlines. Prior to this time, ten per cent discount applied only on routes operated by Douglas DC-3's.
 A reduction in fares, even though operating costs have increased, is made possible by a steady increase in both passenger and freight business.
 Alaska Airlines continues to in- crease the frequency of schedules and decrease fares within Alaska as a measure to assist in the de- velopment of commercial avia- ton.

Today's Sport Parade
BY OSCAR FRALEY

New York, Dec. 17-(UP)-Th National Football League was eau tious about airing its scandal-splat- tered linen today and the clearest impression was that George Preston Marshall, Washington wet wash magnate, was trying to do the laaiR1. dry for the league.
 The battle of nerves which started in the leagues inner circle when Ale win Paris was disclosed as allegedly having tried to "fix" the champion. ship playon was revealed at the cir- cults post-ga1ne meeting.
 Commissioner Bert Bell just had been reelected and with a Si0.000 a year raise for his "fine work" when he posed A the request of photo Qraphers with Jack and Wellington Mara of the propositioned Giants.
 Calls stunt Stupid
 "That's stupid" Marshall roared at Bell, who just had been voted a siO,OO0-a-year honorariurn for his fine work"
 Bell and the Maras stood there sil- ently abashed as the owner of the washingtons rushed tip as agitated as a mother hen.
 That's a very stupid way of hand ling the pictures" Marshall ranted, shaking his finger at three photo QrapherS. These fellows just want to get in a wise crack, something Ike 'discussing the gambling problem.
 You ought to have more sense, roared Marshall in the direction oi the befuddled Bell.
 Began to Speculate
 Bell, who seconds earlier had been receiving congratulations on his line work raise, drifted diScomfitedly away from. the lensmen, the Maras trailing him with some embarraSs. ment. The photographers went into a huddle with George Strickler, Na- tional League publicity man, and he in turn conferred with Marshall not Bell-about letting the fotogs finish their job.
 well, all right" Marshall finally said, but you ought to find out whether they want the picture for a sensational story"
 Reporters had been watching this byplay of the great gambling drama with interest and one of them re- marked:
 The Giants must have voted Bell that raise for letting Frank F1lchOck into the playoff."

 Aroused law enforcement officials, who claim that Paris ls merely Q "front man. for c rich and poW- erfui New Jersey gambling syfidis cate, whisked him through the legal mill yesterday ii near-recofd time,
 The grand jury was ill session only few hours as it heard .tegs tllnony by Frank Fiichock and Merle Hapes, star New York Giant backs. One count of the indictment gpe- clfled attempted bribery of llapes and the other count listed File chock.
 In Q confession signed Sunday morning, Paris said he wanted the players to make sure the Giants lost to the Chicago Bears by more than 10 points. lie said the "fixv was his own Idea. Chicago won, 24 to 14.
 So speedily was Paris arraigned after the indictment that his attof. ney had no time to prepare c plea, So Judge Francis valente ordered the gambler held without bail and postponed hearing until today.
 Accusation that both Hapes and Filchock got direct offers left Nae tional Football League Commissions CT Bert Bell in af1 embarrassing spot. He suspended Hapes from play on the grounds the fullback had been in direct contact with Paris, but Filchock was allowed to play because, Bell said, he had been approached only ''by iTf1uendo." Bell said last night that he acted on suggestion of Mayor William O. Dwyer, who said early Sunday af- ter talks with both players that Filchock had clean bill of health and 1 think he should play"
 Paris in his confession signed Sunday, said that he offered each player 92,600 in cash and 0 91,OO0 bet to be placed for them. Both players refused, although neither reported the bribe offer to authori- ties
