"CHRISTMAS CHILD"
H1fEETSfSS&E

(Froni Mrs. F. C.. D., CheUerly.)
Mrs. c. E. ", jr., washington: I
was born on Christmas Day and
have always enjoyed having my
birthday then. On my first birth
day my aunt, whose birthday is De-
cember 27. brought me two gifts
because she had always been
Cheated" as a child. People had
ignored her birthday, thinking that
Christmas gifts were enough.
After that every one who gave me
gifts gave me two. one for Christ
mas, one for birthday. They still do.
I can remember having two birth
Jay parties, one when I was and
q small dance party when I was Is.
Both were held during the holi-
days, not on Christmas Day.
I always had birthday cake be-
sides all the other trimmings for
a Christmas dinner. I hope I have
answered your question salts
factorily. My young sons birthday
Is two days before Christmas, so we
also have the same problem.

BAKED DOUGHNUTS.

Perhaps this recipe for baked
doughnuts is the one requested by
Miss j. S. NJ, Washington. Time
two hours, start to finish. One and
a half cups milk, scalded, one-third
cup shortening, four tablespoons
sugar, two teaspoons salt, two tea
spoons nutmeg, one-fourth tea
spoon cinnamon (optionaD, two
cakes compressed yeast, one-fourth
cup lukewarm water, two eggs
beaten, four and three fourths cups
sifted flour.
Pour hot milk over shortening,
sugar, salt and spices in mixing
bowl. Cool to lukewarm. Stir
yeast with water, add to beaten eggs
and then add to lukewarm milk
mixture. Stir In flour and beat till
we'll mixed. Cover and let rise till
double. Turn out onto well Toured
board and turn over several times,
shaping into a soft ball. Roll
lightly, to about one half inch thick,
without stretching. Cut with three
inch doughnut cutter and place two
inches apart on creased baking
sheets. Brush with melted butter
or margarine and let rise till double
about twenty minutes. Bake eight
to ten minutes at 425 degrees. Re-
move from oven, brush with melted

May I take this opportunity to
thank Mrs. C. S., Chevy Chase, for
giving her recipe for eggless devils
food cake. It Is delicious. Never
have had a failure and my husband
thinks it is the best ever. Have
always used buttermilk instead of
sour milk and to think, It only re-
quires two tablespoons of shortening
q use butter) and no eggs. Mrs.
c. S., I have reproached myself
many times for not writing to the
RICH to thank you.

From Mrs. M. E. v. Arlington. J

(From Mrs. M. E. ". Arlington.)
After many attempts to give my
baby the whole cod liver oil pre-
scriped by my doctor, told him
my little girl repeatedly refused
to swallow it and that it would Ger
tainly do her no good all over her
clothes. He said to try the con-
centrated cod liver oil drops for
a while. It comes with q regular
dropper and you merely drop three
or four drops way back on baby's
tongue so that he hardly tastes
it at all and almost has to swallow
it. My baby took this fine and I
never wasted a bit. However. my
doctor said after a few months to
try the whole cod liver oil again.
as it is much better for the baby
and helps him to gain due to the
fat content which the concentrated
oil does not have. Sure enough,
the baby took the whole cod liver
;oil nicely when I tried her on it
several months later and still does.
My doctor said most babies like
1t as long as you act as though
it really tastes good goodness
knows it was hard for me to keep
my face straight. it smells so aw-
full to me) and sure enough my
baby did really take 1t eagerly on
the second trial.

DENVER.

fFron, Mrs. c. B. L., Arlington.)
To Mrs. c. E. s.: I don't blame
you for being impressed with Den
yer and the West. We lived there
for several years and our greatest
desire is to return there to stay.
The weather is ideal. In the sum-
mer the days are hot, but not humid,
and the nights are always cool. In
winter, no matter how cold 1t may
get, the air Is clear, dry and In
Vigorating. You do not get chilled
through, the way you do in the
East. Even when the thermometer
goes below freezing you are not as
cold as here. 1t does not penetrate.
I once took a delightful walk in
the snow and only learned the fol-
lowing day through the papers that
it had been 18 degrees below zero.
You may expect rain In only three
months of the year. March through
May, and then very little OF 1t.
When the skies cloud in winter, it
will snow, never rain. People
laughed at me for going around
with galoshes and umbrella. When
the sun comes out the snow melts
within an hour or two. There is no
such thing as SluSh.
The people are the most sociable
in the world. They don't stand on
ceremony or wait for formal intro
ductionS. 1t Is not curiosity but
friendliness that prompts them to
know you.
Whereas in the East the big
cities are empty in the summer
because every one runs of to find
cool spot, you will find that the
biggest and gayest social season Is
in the summer in Denver. That Is
when all the tourists come to town
and relatives, friends and acquaint-
ances have come to visit. You don't
have to worry about entertaining
them. AL you need to do Is men.
ton the fact to your friends anc
every one will be inviting them In
and showing them a grand time.
There Is much to see and do ir
Denver and the mountains nearby
are never-ending source OF wonder
and inspiration.
You will find life there less nerve
racking, more serene and full thar
anywhere else you may settle.
understand the housing shortage is
acute there now as elsewhere.
Good luck to you and I hope your
plans go through. Incidentally, al
though the cost of living has gone
up there too, it is still far less than
in the East.

DREW PEARSON E NAMED TODAY AZ
 FATHER OF YEAR

NEW YORK, May 27.-Column- ist Drew Pearson was named The Father of the Year" at the annual Fathers Day Award luncheon here today. This is the first time a newspaperman has won this dis tinction. Mir Pearson was chosen for the honor because of his achievement with his vast Inter national Friendship Train pro- ject and his activity in the Make Democracy Live" program. The selection Committee also recogniz- ed his consistent fight against in- tolerance and for good citizenship.
 Drew Pearson played large part in the defeat of the Commun- ists in the recent Italian cleo tion. One United States diplomat credits him with turning the tide in this crucial test against Communism. He started his pro- gram by revealing details of Communist plot to take over Italy, called the roll of Italian Commun- ists and revealed where secret arms were cached. Mir Pearson followed this up with the Friend- ship Train and travelled with 1t across the United States and into Italy and France. He proposed to the American people that they write letters to friends and rela- tives in Italy to combat Commun- lst propaganda and million ex- tra letters a week flowed overseas. His Make-Democracy-Live radio program was short-waved to Italy with prizes for the best letters on democracy.

ALASkANS MUST
 ASK RAILROADS
 FOR RATE CUTS
ICC Makes Reply fo Re. quests for SIdshing of
 Rail Wafer Tariff
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, May 27-lR- Alaska interests wishing lower freight rates should apply to the railroads to give them benefit of rate cuts on joint rail-water ship ments, the Interstate Commerce Commission says.
 Rep. Tollefson (R-WashD recent ly wrote the Commission that joint rail-water rates are permitted to Hawaii, South America and the Far East from Pacific coast ports at export rates. These rates, he said, are A cents a hundred pounds on steel in carload lots while the same steel going to Alaska is charged $l.10 hundred pounds.
 William E. Lee, chairman of the ICC, wrote Tollefson that the fact that rail rate to Seattle is higher on traffic destined to Alaska than on traffic destined to the Orient and other overseas points does not nec- essarily indicate any unlawful dis elimination
 Whether 1t is unlawful discrimi- nation, he said, can only be deter mined after a formal hearing
 Lee said If it eventually was deter mined to be unlawful discrimination The carriers would have the right to remove that discrimination by in- creasing the rate to Seattle on the traffic to the Orient rather than by reducing the rate on the Alas kan traffic
 He added the railroads might vol untarily make some reduction in rates to Seattle on traffic for water movement to Alaska, Although not down to the measure of the export rates" if Alaskan interests could convince them this would increase traffic.
 "If the carriers decline to act favorably on such a request, consid- eration could then be given by the Alaska interests to the filing of a formal complaint with the Com mission, he said.

A small. two place, airplane crashed into the side of an unnamed mountain peak on $500 foot Mt. Wac around pm. yesterday but both occupants escaped uflinjured. The plane, piloted and owned by Kenneth Loken, of Juneau, was partially wrecked at the 4,700 feet level of the 4,960 foot unnamed peak on the Southeast corner of the Lem- on Creek Glacier.
 Loken and Rudolph Krsul had been dropping weather instruments and supplies in the Lemon Creek Glacier area in preparation for a forthcoming expedition which will explore the Glaciers possibilities as a summer skiing area.
 They had apparently become wrapped up in their work and for got to keep a watch on flying con- ditions when they suddenly came face to face with the mountain Loken saw that he couldn't maneu- yer the plane out of the difficulty, so, ne picked out the easiest place to hit and landed his ship on the snow. The plane suffered a broken propeller and damage to one side of the float structure which had just been installed yesterday.
 The two men walked down the mountain and through the Salmon Creek area to the Glacier Highway and reported their mishap. In the meantime a U, s. Fish and Wild life Seatee, piloted by Robert Meeks, vent looking for them, after they were reported overdue, and sighted their Aeronca Champion on the mountain.

U. 5. Denies American Planes Interfere with
 Soviet Shipping

WASHINGTON, May 27--tR- The United. States has flatly re- jected Russian protests claiming American airplanes have interferred with Soviet shipping in the vicinity of Japan.
 The State Department said today the U. S. reply to various Soviet notes of protest was delivered to the Russians by the American Elm tassy in Moscow Tuesday.
 A statement released by the De- partment said the Soviets had ob- jected to more than 50 cases of alleged interference with their com mercial shipping.

 The American reply was not given out in text form here but was sum narized in the statement.
 It said that Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur as Supreme Allied Comman- der in Japan uses air, army and naval forces "tc prevent smuggling and illegal entry into Japan
 Low flying within the limits ot safety in conducting this off shore patrol is absolutely necessary for recognition purposes the State De- partment said in reporting on the note to Russia.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
Copyright, l94s. by The Bell Syndicate.

 WASHINGTON = For several days last month the House of Rep resentatives was tied up in the famous oleo-butter debate. It creat- rd national sensation.
 The oleomargarine bill, pigeon holed by the dairy interests in committee, was forced out by a petition signed by 218 Congressmen, half of them from the South. Then the debate started. For several days is ragged, with full attendance on the House floor urged by both parties.
 The argument of the oleomargar- inc Congressmen was that they were battling for the housewife. But actually they weren't. Many of them were battling because the powerful cottonseed lobby in the South had put on the heat. Cam paign contributions. not housewives, was the motiyating force.
 Today, another sort of battle looms in the House of Representa- tives-only this time the situation is reversed This time not only the housewife is involved, but her children, her husband, and the future of the American family.
 But this time, the Southern Con- gressmen who rushed in to sign the oleo petition aren't signing up. Neither are the Republicans. For this time the petition has to do with housing.
