The sharp eyes Of Harvey W..
Nash, 1927 Chicago Ave, helped
Minneapolis police catch two men
believed to have robbed the North

Nash, who works for the concern
as a porter, passed the building at
3O9 5th St. s., as he was walking
toward his car. He had been at
the Courthouse Pharmacy, where
he also is employed as a porter.
When he noticed that the night
light was out, he entered the build
ing with his key. He turned on the
light, and noticed, he said, that the
office desks had been ransacked
and that papers had been thrown
on the floor.
While Nash was trying to
reach the manager Of the firm
on the telephone, two men came
out Of hiding behind a desk and,
Nash says, pointed a gun at him
as they left through the door he
had unlocked.
When he learned the manager
was out of town, Nash then called
police and told them which way
the men had gone.
The police caught them a few
minutes later, brought them to
Nash for Identification, and took
them to city hall

Last week I promised you some
really authentic Hungarian dishes
in which the Hungarian paprika
was the deciding factor. To make
them, you would do well to invest
in a jar of the imported spice, for
it has distinctive fire and flavor
that other varieties seem to lack.
Chicken Paprika" is so famous that
I will not use space to include it
here. II you do not know it and
would like the recipe, drop me line

velope with your request. Speaking
OF requests, there are few OF the
complete sets of French menu
terms still available If you would
like one of these, send me a large
envelope and II cents in stamps to

Now, to our recipes. One of my
favorites is Lobster Paprika
an inexpensive dish by any means,
but one that is perfect for real din

need the meat from two medium

to buy and boil the HOLSTERS yourself,

It's time again to think OF witches,
hobgoblins and ghosts and children
dressed in weird costumes ringing
doorbells. The occasion calls for a
party with tables set in traditional
gold and black decorated with SYM
bols appropriate to the season.
Whether it's a party for the gang
or just a family gathering you'll
probably want to observe the date
with something special in the way
of table decorations.
Let's begin with the table. gold
color tablecloth if you can manage
it for background. Linen, of course
is the ideal table covering but If
your linen closet doesn't boast of a
gold cloth you can improvise. One
clever party-giver we know has a
heavy linen sheet that she tints and
retints in different colors every time
she wants to carry out particular
color scheme. Another one uses a
cover of gold sateen under white
lace cloth to achieve the effect.
Lacking either OF these you can use
gold crepe paper for the covering.

color, add green pepper, minced as
fine as possible. Stir well. Season
with a little salt and l tablespoon
Hungarian paprika, stirring for just

comes red. Then add a pint OF

a very low flame. Just at the boil

in biJe-size pieces and let all simmer
for minutes more. Serve this on
toast or in patty shells or just "as

sometimes are served with this,
along with green salad.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine LosVman

It is wonderful that many subjects
which are 80 vital to women but
for so long were taboo in print, can
now be discussed frankly! Memo
pause is a perfectly natural stage
in life through which every woman
passes sooner or later. Yet ignorance
and lack of information concerning
it has led to a great deal OF dis
comfort and mental and physical
suffering. .
Once in awhile in this column I
write about menopause. know
that among the many, many women
who send letters to. me each year,
and Others who read "Why Grow
Old?" but do not write, there are
those who require guidance and
help.
The average woman dreads TINS
period from the time she is 80. The
phrase change of life" Is an un-
fortunate one. Menopause Is as
natural as adolescence, the latter
beginning the child bearing period
and the former ending it. Notnlng
changes with change OF life except
the ability to bear children.
1t is interesting to note that a
larger percentage of housewives tnan
professional women have difficulty at
this time. Very few women IN busl-
ness are forced to give up their jobs
or miss days at the office because
they are passing through memo
pause. Could this possibly be true
because the married woman at this
time finds herself with too much
leisure time on her hands, while the
professional woman is still IN the
middle of her career, eager and
interested, and can afford little self
indulgence?
Many physicians and psychologists
believe that at least somes OF the
discomforts come from form OF
self-hypnosis induced by dread and
fear. If can help Danish the
menopause mental attitude from
even a few of my readers minds
will feel that I have rendered q
service today.
Think of this time as natural
phase in feminine living. Do not
anticipate symptoms you have heard
about. If they do occur, take ad-
vantage of modern medical treat
ment for relief. Many women ex'
perience second youth after this
period because they have been re-
lieved of the strain Of the monthly
cycle. They are lovelier looking ane

You may feel that it's early to
start talking about Christmas when
the leaves are hardly off the trees
but it's not too early to be thinking
of the food packages for your friends
abroad. II your package is to add
cheer to their yuletide season re-
member the distances are great and
time must be allowed for travel.
Several places in town will make
up packages for you or you may
choose your own assortment. This
year with the critical shortage of
food the more nourishing items will
be urgently needed, but do include
some little luxuries to make 1t a gay
Christmas offering.
Food in tins are the best travellers
A few suggestions for you to think
over are spaghetti sauce with meat
ham, bacon, guava jelly, butter, veg
etable shortening, oils, corned beef
hash, maple sirup, fruit juices
(although these weigh heavy, they're
in great demand), candy and whole
chicken llVerS.
Any of the innumerable package
mixes, particularly those requiring
only the addition of water, help out
the meager bread ration. There are
yeast rolls that are very good, pop
overs, corn mullins or gingerbread
the pie crust mixes or the package
containing complete apple pie
would be given a warm welcome
Because of the dearth Of citrus fruits

priced. One shop in town sends
