Roll out lightly to half inch thick

sheet about inches apart. Brush
with melted butter, set in warm

doubles. This should take about 20
minutes.
Bake the doughnuts in q fairly
hot oven for 10 minutes. When
you take them from the oven, brush
them again with butter, and roll
them in granulated sugar. Eat them
warm, then and there, or reheat
them before serving. You'll find
them really delicious, and a much
more wholesome product than the
ones that have absorbed too much
fat in the frying process, and emerge
greasy and as heavy as stones.

Recipe Roundup

One of the biggest problems to
most housekeepers rs making use OF
LEFTOVER FISH. Fish isn't too
popular in many homes, and the
leftover type is downright unwel-
come. However, we have evolved a
pretty pleasant way of serving up
those bits and pieces, and here it is
for you to file for further use:
Cut slice from the top OF firm
tomatoes, scoop out the pulp, salt
tomatoes inside and set to drain.
Mix the tomato pulp with a cup or
so of faxed leftover fish, adding
one hard cooked egg, mashed; salt,
pepper and good slug Of lemon
Juice. Fill the tomato shells with
the mixture, top with buttered
crumbs and grated cheese. Set in
a baking dish with a half cup of
water and a tablespoon of butter
and bake in a moderate oven for
half an hour. Basic occasionally
with liquid from pan.
There's nothing nicer to serve
with lamb than well made MINT
SAUCE-and we don't mean the kind
where a little chopped mint is just
added to the pan gravy and the
cook calls it day.
Our mint sauce is the old-fash-
ioned kind Wash the fresh mint,

AVOCADOS.
From Mrs. A. N. M, Falls Church,
have noticed several letters on
avocado trees in the column lately.
They seem to be regarded as a
house plant here. One reader said
she was told they grew only in
Southern Florida, with the sun

never seen any as large as grape
fruit or orange trees. At the risk
of being accused of Dragging, I must
correct these erroneous impressions.
I grew up in Santa Barbara, Calf,
where avocado trees are as COM

had two in my back yard. Most
of them, when full grown, are half
again as tall as an orange tree,

If desired. Don't be alarmed when
you take the rice for serving, as
there will be about 4 inch layer
of rice stuck to the bottom of the
pan. This is edible, but since it
doesn't have the appearance of the
rest of the rice, I don't put 1t in
with the rest for serving. The
bottom layer of rice forms sort of
pad for the other rice to rest on

COOKING RICE.

From Mrs. J. B. NJ, HyattSDHle.)
For the lady who wanted to know
how to cook rice so it will be dry
and fluffy. A friend of mine, a
Chinese lady, says this is the Chi
nese method of cooking rice, and
I like it much better than any
American way. I wash a cup of
rice (more if needed, but a cup
is the minimum) in a saucepan,
rubbing it against the side of the
pan with my fingers and draining
the water off. Repeat washing
process until the water has lost its
milkiness and is clear. Drain ri0e
g last time and put into pan which
has lid. Cover rice about "a of an
inch or Z an inch with cold water.
Place over medium flame and cook
until it starts to boil. Turn flame
down so it just touches bottom of
nan. Cook for 80 minutes or more

BERLIN, Mar. s1.-The biggest
amateur boxing tournament to be
held here since the last Olympic
Games will begin tomorrow night,
with teams from seven nations ex-
pected to compete.
The tournament to run five con-
secutive nights, is sponsored by the
Allied Forces Sports Council. Teams
composed of 16 boxerstwo in each
weight class-have been entered by
Czechoslovakia, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Denmark, France,
Norway and the United States.
Russia, Poland and Greece have
not accepted invitations to compete
and, tournament officials said, there
still was a question today whether
Norway's team would appear.
Five teams already are here for
the matches, which will be held in
the British Sports Club on the
Olympic Stadium grounds. The
British team withdrew to compete
in the British Army championships
in London.
The Czechoslovak and United
States teams ranked as pretourna-
ment favorites with the Dutch and
Belgians also regarded as strong
contenders.
The Americans, all enlisted men
coached by Capt. Fred Spiegelbere
Of Omak, Wash, former Washing
ton State College athlete, will be
paced in the lighter classes by three
fast, aggressive Hawaiians. The
United States boxers also are ex.
pected to score heavily In the heav.

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 31.-The
Pacific Coast League, In its Gus
tomary role as baseball's ice-break-
er, opens the 1947 season tomorrow,
April Fools Day.
And the Pei, which insists 1t
isn't fooling about major league
expects the biggest
year in its 45-year history.
President Clarence Rowland pre-
diets that attendance will go over
the 100000 mark, topping last
years record, 3,7lS,716.
Rowland forecast the closest race
in five years and observers gen-
orally agreed with him. With most
clubs apparently stronger, a five or
even six team battle for the cham
pionship is likely.
The opening week Of the 1885,
game schedule puts Seattle at San
Francisco, Hollywood at Sacramen-
to, Portland at Los Angeles, and
Oakland at San Diego. Secondary
openers-home debuts Of the clubs
on the road the first two weeks-are
slated for April Is.
Lefty O'Doul's hustling San Fran
cisco Seals, defending champions,
are regarded as the team to beat
for the pennant again, but many
observers see Los Angeles, bolstered
by recent additions from the par
ent Chicago Cubs, as a prime threat.
NThe San Diego Padres, champions
Of the Pei grapefruit circuit; Sac
ramento Solons, and Seattle Rain
iers also appear much improved.
Oakland and Hollywood, second and
third in 1916. may not be so strong
this year. Portland, which tied

ally is consigned to the basement
