MEXICAN FOODS;

MORE ON COVERING BABY.
from Mrs. J. o. A., Arlington.)
Knowing how hungry one can
get for Mexican food when unable
to fix it, I am compelled to answer
Mrs. M. C. N. of Alexandria. One
can purchase the uncooked tortillaS
at the large F street store with
groceries in the basement. Even
closer to you they may be purchased
at the delicatessen in the shopping
center on Seminary road near Lees
burg pike. Do hope you enjoy your
Mexican meal.
Some time ago some one inquired
about the store with the special
buying plan. That is located in the
5000 block of Mount Vernon avenue
in Virginia. The idea sounds good,
but don't buy large enough guam
titles to be eligible for it.
May as well add my opinion about
keeping young ones covered. don't!
I air the room for an hour before
bedtime, put him in footed sleepers
and he rests better and so do I,
knowing he won't get tangled up
in covers or sleeping gadgets. Only
one cold in his lifetime and I gave
that to him.
Thanks so very much to The Star
for my favorite reading, but wish
the editors would put it in the A
section all the time, since that is
the part I'm always stuck with.
My husband claims the funnies Sec
ton first and 10 to l RICH is there,

YEAST CHOCOLATE CAKE.
(From Mrs. F. A. p, Washington.)
Sometime ago I read request
from a lady for a chocolate cake

lowing one is the one she had in
mind.
Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake:
One cup of shortening, 2 cups of
sugar, 3 eggs, ounces bitter choco-
late, cup milk. y cake compressed
yeast, L cup lukewarm water, u
teaspoon salt. 234 cups cake flour
(sifted), teaspoon soda, 3 table
spoons hot water, IL teaspoons
vanilla.
Cream shortening, gradually add
the sugar. and keep right on cream
ing. Separate the eggs, add the
yolks to the shortening mixture, and
beat we'll Put the whites on ice
until you need them. Then add the
chocolate Cmelt it in the top of dou-
BILE boiler over hot water) and the
milk. Mix the yeast with lukewarm
water and add that, mixing it in
thoroughly. Now sift the flour and
salt together, and beat it right into
the mixture.
Take egg whites out of refrigerator

them into the batter. Put a plate

COLD PREVENTION?
CLEANING RINGS;
CASSEROLE DISHESo

(From Mrs. D. B., Siluer Spring.
To c. B.. the nurse whose three
grown children never had colds: I'm
sure there would be many mothers
besides myself who would be quite
interested if you would be so kind
as to write in a few of your cold
preventive practices. I have four
children, twins aged 33 months, a
15-month-old and a 6-week-old and
can think of nothing I would appre-
ciate more than advice on cold
prevention.
To the lady who inquired about
cleaning diamond rings: There is a
jar of cleaner available at most
jewelry stores that will keep your
rings sparkling between times. OF
course, it is not as effective as the
boiling treatment some jewelers. give
them, but it removes soap film and
other substances that have gotten in.
Just swish the ring in it minute
or so, wash in cleap water and dry.
The only warning is not to dip other
plated pieces in it.
I am interested in hearing of sew
eral more casserole dishes. The ages
Of our children necessitate prepara-
ton Of three different feelings and
easy casseroles seem, at present, to
be the only answer for nice hot
dinner for the twins and ourselves.
I already have the tuna fish, noodle
and mushroom soup, scalloped ham
and potatoes, hamburg, rice and to-
mato soup. Does any one know of
q few more?
The RICH continues t6 be as fas-
cinating as it is useful in the varied
information it presents.

could not afford 70 have my op-
Grafton But the doctor now says
1 absolutely must have an oper-
alton. II l do, would Il be possible
for me Ia put in claim for the
cost Of the operation?
A. The law restricts claims to
losses to property which are a re-
asonable and natural consequence
of the evacuation. It Is extremely
doubtful that you could show that
your goiter was a result Of the e
vacuation. unless you can obtain
medical testimony that the goiter
was caused by your forced change
of residence. Even in the case where
the physical disability Is clearly q
consequence Of the evacuation,
there Is serious question whether
the cost Of an operation would be
a loss of real or personal property
within the meaning of the law.
Since the Attorney General win not
give any advance opinions, the only
way this question can be settled IS
by filing a claim where the loss Is
the expenses actually incurred to
pay for an illness.

Claims Queries and Replies

The fact That ne WRA stated
that the cost d the operation would
be paid even after leaving the camp
does not make this q better claim
under the Evacuation Claims Act.

had our family doctor give rs IN
oculatlons. Can I claim for the
cost Of This pre-evacuation medi-
CT trs4tznent which had been
suggestcd % Us by the military
aufhoritiesY
A. This case presents the ques-
ton whether expenditures for me-
deal treatment, special clothing or
other evacuation expenses can be
considered damage or loss to real
or personal property within the
meaning OF the law. Until the De-
partment OF Justice actually de-
cides one Of these cases, no definite
answer can be given The safest
course Is to file the claim A very
good argument can be made that
these expenditures are real and per-
sonal loss directly caused by the e.
vacuation and therefore should be
considered q loss Of personal pro-
perry within the meaning Of the
statutes.

were being sent were described

for these expenditures?
A. Until q decision or an actual
case by the Department Of Justice
is made it cannot be stated with
certainty whether special expen-
ditures Of this kind in connection
with evacuation constitutes a loss
Of personal property within the
meaning Of the law. The only way
In which determination can be OBJ
tanned is by filing claim.
