from Mrs. r. B., Washington,)
With the beginning of the holiday

years ago by true lady Of the Old
South.

butter or shortening. cups sugar,
cups -four. eggs, cup milk, 2
teaspoons baking powder, l teaspoon
vanilla, teaspoon salt.
Mix as any other cake, adding
eggs one at time to creamed but
ter and sugar mixture, beating we'll
after each addition. Take out
enough of this batter to fill g.
inch cake tin about p full. To
rest of batter add one cup nuts
chopped (pecans are best). cup
chopped raisins, teaspoon each
of cinnamon. allspice, p teaspoon
cloves. Bake in two 9-inch cake
tins.
Filling-Three lemons. grated rind
and juice, 2 cups sugar, l good
sized coconut grated, l cup boiling
water. 8 tablespoons corn starch.
Put all together in boiler except
corn starch. When the mixture
begins to boil, add the corn starch
dissolved in small amount of cold
water, Cook until it thickens, then
add a large can of crushed pine
apple from which all juice has been
drained When cool, spread on lay
ers, stacking layers so that the plain
one is in the middle. pineapple
Juice drained from the crushed
pineapple may be used in place of
the boiling waterD
Be sure to let this cake stand at
least two days in covered cake pan,
In cool place, to ripen.
BASSINET SKIRT.
from Mrs. w. P. B., Takon1n Park
To Mrs. r. L. P, washington.
During the war when material was
scarce used what I could find at
home for my bassinet, which
happened to be some old dotted
Swiss white curtains over an old
pink evening gown slip and skirt.
But now you can get lining ready
made if you want, or tuft your own
over cotton batting. AS for the
skirt itself. I made it short, so when
the legs are folded the white skirt
doesn't get soiled as easily. Gather

/From Mr.. Z. s.. Washtngton.)
7 thought a recipe for egg nog
might be timely. and since l nave
one for "Georgy Egg Nog IN wv
Years of Charleston Cooking. l
am sending it. The recipe was
furnished the author of the cook
book by Mrs. Julia Collier Harris
of Atlanta. Ga, who is daughter
in-law of Joel Chandler Harris.
Georgy Egg Nog: Twelve eggs,
cup of boiled milk, cup OF sugar
drown, II cup of rum, l cup OF
hill-billy brandy. Mix yolks OF
eggs and the brown sugar. Then
add the milk which should have
been allowed to cool before being
added. also add the South Georgy
lightning" and the "hlll-bllly
brandy. Last of all and Immediately
before serving. stir in gently the
whites of the eggs which have been
beaten stiff as possible.
Do not change these proportions.
This quantity will serve six persons
one fairly tall glassful. somewhat
taller than an ordinary water glass
l personally would prefer to try
vodka instead of the rum.

CHRISTMAS TREE SUGGESTION.
from Mrs. r. w. K. WaShtngton.j
This is for the mothers of adven-
turesome toddlers at Christmas. If
YOU desire to have tree and are
worried about the youngster pulling
1t over, etc, why not put the tree
in the play pen? You could do a
little simple decoration job and
make the pen seem more like a
fence. We plan to try that this
year and save ourselves some
anxiety. Another good feature
would be that the needles will fall
In a space that could easily be
cleaned.
May all the readers land the
editor OF the Clearing House have
the merriest Christmas!

it as you would any material with
draw string and pin around top
and even out your frills, then you
can sew ribbon or ruffles from
bottom of the curtains there. The
reason I suggest curtain material is
you can now buy it by the yard
quite reasonably and it's very lovely
when you finish. As for the yardage
you'd need, 1t really depends on your
taste. -Four times the outer edge is
quite frilly but more or less is up to
you.
Also, maybe some of you could
help us. We've recently bought a
house and have good size yard,
but no flowers and a terrible slope
to our back yard. If some of you
have some small perennials not
larger than peonies we could use
them. Also give me some ideas
about how to keep the back yard
from washing so.

Hybrid Tea Roses

The result of crossing the tea
rose and the frost-hardy perpetual
hybrid tea rose combines the good
qualities of both. They are ever
blooming and if given winter pro-
lection where the climate is more
severe, they are frost-hardy almost
anywhere in the United States. OF
the bush type, they are adaptable to
beds and borders in which they
should be spaced about 20 inches
apart.

A Matter For Council

/ Investigation of the case in which Will
mington police officer admitted striking a
prisoner later acquitted of resisting arrest
is being completed and the report is ex-
pected to be ready for presentation to City
council-if it wants it-at its next meeting
next Wednesday.
We haven't seen copy of the entire re-
port.
But, as far as we are informed, it ap-
parently will be product of departmental
self examination, that is, the inquiry has
been conducted entirely by the Chief of
Police and later the City Manager.
It is impossible to think that the report
will be free of prejudice. The Chief took the
officer to task and thereby showed the quail
|ty of his feelings before the City Manager
entered the inquiry. The man has been
punished" by being removed from patrol
car duty and assigned to walking beat for
four months and has lost his "off days" for
the next ten weeks.
| We do not think this Is sufficient punish
ment on the basis of the facts disclosed in
heCOluSl COulL W1lSA tl1e 1iidtte1 W oS dAA GU
there.
| But that is for Council to decide.
/ If it accepts the report and marks the in
cident closed, as the Chief has done, then
there will be reason to believe that the board
is Indifferent to alleged police brutality.
If, after considering the findings of the
Chief and City Manager, it believes the pen
atty inadequate for the offense, it can order
the Chief to dismiss the man. It would not
be the first time that the judgement of a
departmental head has been overruled by
City council Dismissal would, in all prob
ability, carry the case to the Civil Service
commission.
If it takes the opportunity offered to dl-
rect the matter to a successful conclusion,
then council would leave no doubt that it
stands opposed to reported misconduct in the
Police department. 1t would show it has no
desire for an exclusive departmental investi-
CATION, in which the Investigators were judge
and jury prosecutor and defender, to close
the doors on an incident as serious as this
one appears. The public would be convinced
lection of both policemen and the general
public are being followed.
Treatment of the case-obviously an as
sault one since the defendant was cleared of
resisting-has been inadequate and further
study of it shouI@ be made.

over the chances of their chiefs going to
Jail. It will be high prices and not the Taft
Hartley law which the labor men will make
their big campaign issue next year. Not that
millions of labor dollars won't be spent to
beat Congressman who voted in the new
law.
'The AFL chiefs are ready to throw s5,-
100000 into their political kitty. But, after
watching several recent elections, they've
decided that neither the public nor their own
followers can be excited into rushing to the
ballot booths for vengeance against Taft,
Hartley and Co."
Which causes one to wonder If labor
wouldn't be better off today if its leaders
had spent as much time battling the rising
price spiral as they did the Taft-Hartley
legislation. Like practically everyone else
in the country, they knew higher and higher
prices were coming. YET their opposition
was trivial when compared to that thrown
against legislation which has not seriously
affected the rank of the unions member
ship.
1t is quite apparent that Mr.. Green, ct al,
concentrated their fire on the wrong target.

Serious Airport Shor rtcoming

tout this honing device, the VHF arrange
ment has certain limitations. The necessary
equipment is reported to be on order but
when it can be expected is not definite
matter.
Those interested in the development of
IBluethenthal are aware of this shortcoming.
Other nearby airports, including Lurnberton,
are not suffering from this material disad-
vantage. Their traffic is not being reduced
because of the inability to direct . fog-bound
pilot and his craft down to their runways.
| Requests have been started through chan
nels leading to the Civil Aeronautics author
ity to have the monitering equipment in
stalled as early as possible. If favorable re-
sponse is not forthcoming, the County COM
missions Aviation committee and the corre-
spending group from the Chamber Of Com
merce should merge their best efforts to
see that this inadequacy is remedied as early
as possible.
Fog and overcast have long been hinder
ance to air transportation and Wilmington's
condition, because of its coastal location, is
even more unfavorable than interior cities.
Since science has made practical weapons
against these conditions available, COM
