(From Mrs. C. P. w., Fort BelDotrJ
I really enjoy RCH and have re-
ceived many helpful hints from it.
I would like to make few con-
tributions and requests.
First, I think no home should be
without a pressure cooker. About
choosing one, through my expert
ence I've found that the type the
lid fits down into and not directly
on top gives less space for food.
There are only two on the market
that I know of with automatic
weight controls. The others re-
curing regulation of the weight by
means of lowering or raising the
heat. They are satisfactory but II
you wish to can some, it might be
best to have fully automatic weight
control.

that stop playing after the last
record instead of playing 1t over

Let me advise every one to get a
rug pad for that new wool rug. 1t
means luxurious walking and more
wear from your rug.
NV husband wears wool shirts in
the winter and as he made frame
for me to dry them on, I was sue
cessful in laundering them by hand
and having no shrinkage.

Sift together cups powdered
sugar and Il teaspoon salt. Add 4
tablespoons shortening and cream
together. Then add l teaspoon va
nilla and tablespoons milk, stirring
until we'll mixed. This is enough for
2-layer, 8-inch cake. This recipe
can be increased by adding more
sugar and milk. Also by adding
either sugar or milk the icing can
be stiffened or softened to suit your
individual taste.
To get variety with this icing sift
6 tablespoons cocoa with the sugar.
You can also use any other favor
ing you wish instead Of the vanilla,
and it is just as good.
From Mrs. E. M. c., ArIington.)
I believe the following chocolate
icing would be the type you want.
Melt 21a squares chocolate (un-
sweetened). Cool to lukewarm then
add / cup Ak sugar, 1 whole egg, 4
cup sweet milk, teaspoon vanilla,
tablespoon soft butter. Beat the
above ingredients until right con-
sistency. This icing will form peaks
and while soft and creamy 1t will
not run. There also is an excellent
icing recipe in a shortening COOK
book I have as follows: Melt over
hot water tablespoons shortening
tablespoon butter and 3 ounces OF
unsWeetened chocolate. In another
bowl put 2 cups sifted Ak sugar and
u teaspoon salt. Heat 5 tablespoons
milk and pour over this sugar and
salt, and stir until sugar dissolved
Add u teaspoon vanilla. Then add
chocolate mixture and stir until
thick enough to spread. This icing
is smooth and rich.

friable. use u sand, y peat moss
and q rich potting soil and my
violets bloom profusely. If the
leaves on your plant are limp and
the crown rot is not too far ad-
vanced it can be cured" by keep
ing the soil fairly dry. The rot
cannot grow without moisture. So,
give your plant just enough water
barely to keep it alive and keep
it out of the sun until 1t "recovers." "
Crown rot attacks the plant at the
point where the plant enters the
soil and encircles the stem OF the
plant, thus choking the upper part
of the plant and the leaves get
limp for LACK of moisture even
though the soil is soggy wet. When
water is withheld it checks the
growth of the rot Gf not too ad-
vanced. Then water sparingly un-
til the plant starts growing again.
If, however, your plant is past
saving, then take off the best leaves
and root them in water and start
new plants and take the core of the
plant, dust the "cut" end with
plant hormone, put in sand or YER
miculite to root and soon you'll
have a fine new plant.

NOSE OPERATION
PROVES SUCCESS
Student Lost. 1t In An Ac-
cident, 1t Was Recovered
And Sewed On Again

LOS ANGELES, May 3.-W.P-
Fifteen-year-old Esther Yvonne
Brooks felt giagerly for her nose
today. Then she smiled and asked
for a mirror. The nose Vas right
there-right where it should be.
Esther, her family, her doctor
and two deputy sheriffs oreathed
a sigh OF relief.
The young IngleWood high school
sophomore parted company with
her nose when it was severed in
ar auto accident two weeks ago.
When she arrived at the hospital
her physician took one look and
sent the two deputies racing back
to find the missing nose.
After a two-hour search in the
roadside weeds the nose was
found, brushed off and rushed back
to the hospital where it was stitch
ed neatly back into place. Then
the doctors sat back to Wait-with
fingers crossed.
Today DR.. j. S. Rambo remov-
ed the bandages and took out the
stitches.
THE stitches are out" ne said.
THE nose is still in position and
circulation has begun. The healthy
condition of the nasal tissues is
an encouraging sign"
Esther said she was sure her
nose was all right because she
could ever smell through it.

ton, Jr.
Paul. a high school senior and
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.. r.
Horton of 221 S. 5th street, is
better known to his many friends
as "Stump-hole."
His baseball career starteo
when he was only six years OLD
in Kinston. Paul played with rub
be-. balls, rocks, and any other
object that resembled a baseball.
He played ball in Kinston until he
moved to Wilmington when he was
IS years old.
When he entered Winter Park
school in the eighth grade ne
started playing his first school
baseball. Paul played at the Key
stone position.
Baseball became his favorlte
sport, but in the summer alter ne
finished the eighth grade ne hao
broken his leg. This kept MN
from playing ball of any klnd o
a wear, but he was not douot1ul
of his ability to handle the hide
so he landed himself a JOB as
shortstop for the New hanover
High School Junior Varsity when
he was a sophomore.
Shortstop vas a good position
but Paul loved to handle the
duties of the keystone sack, SO the
next year under the coaching OF
Leon Brodgen, he was playing
second base as a first stringer IN
the latter part of the season.
Only a portion of the year as
second basemen did not suit the
short lad, so he returned again
for the New Hanover High school
Wildcats and this year has kept
the Keystone to himself, n IS
doing a wonderful job.
Paul's biggest thrill in baseball
came to him in the Rocky Mount
Wilmington game at Legion sta
dunn this year. The sacks were
loaded and little Paul. with the
highest batting average OF the
PLAYERS, then, came to the mcund'
gritted his teeth, and clouted a
three Dagger. =.
Paul with a batting average OF
3e3 at one time this year held
the highest batting average IN the
state, which was 800.
Since Paul is not going 10 col
lege he said that he will probably
stay along with the Winter Park
Rangers, as long as they let him.
He is also a member OF n
Rangers nine now and has proven
to be one of their most valuable
players on the diamond.
