CARAMEL ICING.

(Fron, Miss P. w., WGshington.)
In answer to Mrs. M. E. HIS re-
quest for a caramel icing made with
evaporated milk, may I suggest the
following recipe which first made
its appearance In the RICH several
years ago:
Foolproof Caramel Icing-2 cups
brown sugar, 2s cup evaporated
milk, 70 cup confectioner's sugar.
Boil brown sugar and milk to soft
ball stage. Sift in 4 K sugar and
beat until smooth and creamy. More
milk may be added to keep icing
soft. Add one teaspoon vanilla
Not only does this icing live up to
its name by being "foolproof," but
tends to harden so quickly that it
must be put on the cake immedi-
ately. It Is really delicious, and
many thanks to RICH for printing 1t
originally.

Same Storm
This was the same storm which
scurried into the Gulf of Next
co and swung northward to beat
fiercely at the Gulf coast from
Biloxi, Miss, to New Orleans.
That section Of the coast still
is a scene bordering on chaos.
Devastation, particularly in Mis-
sissippi, is everywhere and &C
curate estimates of deaths and
damage are difficult.
Brig. Gen. William P. Wilson
of the Mississippi National Guard,
directing rescue and rehabilita-
ton crews, said there were many
conflicting and false reports as
to the number of dead and in
jured.
A survey by two Associated
Press reporters, almost isolated
on the Mississippi coast, late to-
day confirmed 20 dead. Previous
ly reports of deaths in the same
area had run as high as go.
In New Orleans flood waters
began creeping higher and this
afternoon Deputy Sheriff John
Williams said Lake Pontchartrain
was rising slowly. Since 2 a. M,
it had Tapped upward four inches.
Highway connections between
New Orleans and Baton Rouge
were closed by the flood.
Encouraging Note
There was an encouraging note,
however, from the New Orleans
Weather Bureau, which said the
wind had shifted to Southwestern
ly and should alleviate condi-

The bureau explained that
these winds would drive water
from Lakes Pontchartrain and
Borgne into the Goulf or adjacent
waters and restore the lakes to
! normal levels.
