Orphan Cake

PITTSBURGH, March g. (P)-
Ralph Moio has an eighty-dollar
wedding cake which is begging
for a wedding.
Moio, owner of a small Italian
pastry shop, explained that a
"veery pretty brunette posing as
a prospective bride ordered the
cake six days ago. But, he related
today with great melancholy, she
failed to call for it and her ad-
dress is fictitious.
What's tough is the cake con-
tains 10 pounds of h~ard-to-get
mixed fruits, rum, butter cream,
sugar and shortening all covered
with small, silver balls inbedded
in thick, fancy, white icing.

NEW TEST REPORTED
FOR PORK DISEASE

CLEVELAND W.D - A Mt. Sinai
hospital technologist, Mrs. Hazel
Suessenguth, announced that she
has developed an improved test
ing method which promises to give
this country its first effective
weapon against trichinosis,
T%richinosis has b e e n found
latent in at least one of every five
persons, and the results have
sometimes been fatal when dis
ease developed, she said.
The diease is a parasite found
in about three of every 200 pigs
that are slaughtered. The parasites
thrive in the digestive tract Of the
human body when the meat has
not been throughly cooked.
Mrs. Suessenguth said one TECH
nologist can test many samples IN
a matter of minutes with the new
improved testing method for pork
meat.
