Pantheist Takes Place
|0n Brentwood Council
|After Law Is Voided

j. Milton Stanford, who re-
fused to take prescribed oath of
office because his religious be-
liefs, today is an official member
of the Brentwood Town Council
Mr.. Stanford, a pantheist, was
seated last night at the direction
of the Prince Georges County
Circuit Court, which last week
ruled the oath unconstitutional.
The 40-year-old investigator for
the Civil Service Commission
denied he is a Communist.
Although he was not required
to take the oath the council
offered originally, Mr.. Stanford
had to swear his support of the
Maryland and United States
Constitutions. The ceremony was
held in the chambers of Judge
Charles c. Marbury In Upper
Marlboro.
1t was Judge Marbury who ruled
unconstitutional a 95-year-old
Maryland law requiring public
officials to swear to a belief in
Christianity or a hereafter.
The swearing-i In took place late
yesterday and Mr.. Stanford actu-
ally was seated last night at a
council meeting In the Brentwood
fire house.
New Member No Christian.
Mr.. Stanford, elected as a coun-
Gilman on June ~. had refused to
take the oath because of a section
requiring him to say: II believe In
the Christian religion"
He pointed out that a pantheist
is one who believes that the
universe is God and who does not
accept the doctrine Of a future
state of rewards and punishments.
The communism issue was
brought into the limelight during
last nights session. Mr.. Stanford
said he had heard rumors around
the nearby Maryland community
branding him as Communist.
IF any one has any idea from
what I have said that I have any
resemblance to a Communist
either living or dead, or that
I don't adhere to moral standards
I want to correct that impress
sion," he declared. II will be glad
to talk it over with any one who
comes to me-"
Mayor James l.. Russell, after
the seating of Mr.. Stanford, said
II do not believe he is a Commu
mist. I asked him about it and
he convinced me he was not"
In taking Office, Mr.. Stanford
said he regretted that the whole
incident occurred.
II think that the proper atti-
tude for us to take is to let by
cones be bygones." he explained.
"The sooner we forget any misun-
derstandings we had, the better
off we'll be-"
Dissenter Wants Appeal.
Councilman Benjamin Castle
moved to seat Mr.. Stanford rather
than appeal the case. Mr.. Mahaf-
fey seconded it. Councilman FL
bert Brown was absent both times.
Before seating Mr.. Stanford, the
mayor asked if anyone had any
objections to it. One man from
group of seven citizens said he
hoped the town would appeal,
The lone dissenter, H. E. Long
ley, of 4405 Thirty-seventh street
told reporters later that he was
willing to contribute to legal ex-
penses involved In an appeal. He
was advised to get up petition
Judge Marbury had ruled that
the 1854 law requiring the belief
in Christianity oath was super
seded by the State Constitution
Of 1867 and hence, repealed by
implication.

Virginia AFL Seeks
$250,000 Chest
BY The Assoejuied Press

RICHMOND. Va, Aug. ia
Virginia Federation of Labor Of
fetal estimated yesterday 100000
could be raised in the State to-
ward the American Federation OF
Labor's $1,000,000 war chest fo1
the 1850 national elections.
President Jack Smith based this
estimate on participation by every
VFL member in the fund to de-
feat labor's foes and elect its
friends. However, he said the
actual Virginia total probably
would not approach his estimated
potential because Of the purely
voluntary" nature Of the fund
raising campaign.
Mr.. Smith, also chairman Of the
|VFLs political arm, Virginia
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation, said the league is continu-
ing its drive for votes in the No.
vember general elections.
Principal objective then Of the
league, he said. will be the defeat
of the proposed Campbell amend
ments to the State Constitution.
He denounced these as giving
each legislature a free ticket. in
writing the election laws.
AS for the war chest fund, Mr..
Smith said plans call for a return
Of at least half of the Virginia
contributions to the league for its
State battles.
The Campbell amendments pro-
vide for a So capitation tax COL
lected by the State from every
person and would permit counties
and cities to levy an additional 81
capitation tax, not as a require
ment for suffage qualification, but
asa prerequisite for issuance Of
any State license. Annual regis
tration Of voters also would be

There's an interesting history
to this smelt run. In 1912 the

in Michigan to provide food for
the landlocked salmon. Some
time later the smelt found their

100 miles away. There they set

CHINESE RECIPES.

tFIOWt lU5S. II. E T. :, OLLUCT OpTHty1
Recently I saw a small item in
your column addressed to me from
L. M. T. of Fairfax, asking for
Wun Tun and tomato sweet sour
sauce. Another reader wants the
Wun Tun Soup recipe. I am
sending the recipes. I have been
unable to obtain the authentic
and exact recipe for the tomato
sauce so I have not included it..
Mrs. L. M. T. could very likely
make a similar one by using the
basic Chinese gravy formula of
" cup broth or juice of meat, l
tablespoon cornstarch. table
spoon Chinese molasses and the
sweet sour taste of all Chinese
dishes is achieved by using ! part
sugar to 3 parts vinegar. She
could experiment using catsup or
tomato juice. Then add 1-inch
pieces of green pepper and celery.
Basic Wun Tun: Beat 5 eggs
lightly. Add a pinch of salt and
sift in enough flour to make a soft
dough. Roll very thin. thinner
than pie crust. Dredge with flour
to keep from sticking. Let it re-
main on smooth table to dry u
hour, then cut into 3-inch squares.
When meat is to be put into
squares the white of an egg is
used to glue edges together. Fry
in deep peanut oil Cor fat.
Pork Wun Tun: Grind l pound
pork with dash salt and a little
green onion. Use this meat mix
ture and twist each side of square
after meat is put in so it resem-
bles bow tie. Deposit each piece
with care into a pot of boiling
water. When Wun Tun Is cooked
it will float. Remove Wun Tun
from water, put into serving bowl,
cover with soup Chicken soup
preferred) and garnish with bits
of roast pork and green onion
sprouts. ADD 12 teaspoon soy
sauce and serve.
Wun Tun Chips (my favorite):
This is the Chinese version of po-
tato chips. Grind u pound pork
together with dash of salt and a
little green onion. Wrap up this
mixture in the Wun Tun squares
but sparingly. Drop them one at
a time in deep hot peanut oil or
deep hot cooking oil. Cook until
brown, then take each one out and
drain. Serve.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
BITING NAILS?


(From X. A. A., WdshingtonJ
This is to answer several Ques-
tions from your readers that ]
have been intending to write about
for some time. Hope my replies
are helpful and not too late.
In regard to white spots on
furniture, I have found it very
satisfactory to rub margarine (or
butter) into them and let stand
awhile. This is particularly good
for water marks, If not too old
and for any kind of a furniture
scratch or gouge. Wipe clean and
polish.
A cloth dampened with a small
amount of kerosene and wiped
over bathroom tile is wonderful
for removing soap or water film.
Afterward I rub it off fairly well
and repeat about once a month
The tile really sparkles. A pint of
kerosene can be purchased at your
gas station and will last for
months. Take your own jar, and
store in garage.
To color candles for Christmas
or any other occasion, melt down
what you have in one batch. then
add wax crayon in the shade ano
to the depth of color you wish.
Now for a problem of my own

ANOTHER VIOLET PROBLEM?
OATMEAL COOKIES?
fFrom Mrs. F. I. w., ArlingtonJ
There have been so many ques-
tions and answers concerning At
rican violets that I am hesitant
about adding another. However,
not having seen my particular
problem discussed, here it is:
In the summer I rooted about
four African violet leaves in a
glass of water Gas I learned from
the RCH), then planted them in
pots with soil bought especially
for African violets. The leaves
had long roots on the end of each
stem when planted, but not a
single one has sent up any new
leaves. They look exactly as when
I planted them. just one leaf in
a pot. Recently I dug up one
leaf to see if it still has roots, and
it has, so I replanted it. I keep
each pot in a little saucer and
water it daily. They get late
afternoon sun, when there is any.
Can some one offer a suggestion
as to what I should do? Should
I continue as I have been and
will the leaves eventually develop
or should I dig them up and put
them back in water until a few
shoots have begun? I understood
from the RICH article I followed
that it was not necessary to have
any new leaves before planting,
just roots on the end of the stem
of the leaf. Some one since told
me that I should have left them
in water till the leaves formed.
Also, does some one have a
recipe for oatmeal cookies which
are similar to the big, round. fat
ones purchased in bakeries? All
Of the recipes I have tried are for
drop cookies, and though they are
good, would like a recipe for the
kind that are rather dark in color
and apparently are the rolled type.
They probably also contain mo-
lasses, but I am not good at try
ing to make over one OF my
recipes. so would appreciate any
recipe which seems to fill this
request. 4

TAPIOCA RECIPE.

lFronl Miss 5. M. ~, WGShl'tstoH.
For Mrs. L. S., Washington: It
was gratifying to read your letter
in the RICH. I, too, have been in
terested in finding some OF the
old-fashioned Qarge) tapioca.
One of the fondest recollections
of my childhood in New England
was the Sunday dessert" my
mother used to make of this
pearl" tapioca. as 1t was then
called. Only recently found a
few of her old recipes and among
them was the one am sending
herewith.
The recipe is not complete as to
the details of mixing. and being
inexperienced in cooking can
not offer much help. If memory
serves me over more than so years.
the custard was cooked IN double
boiler and the tapioca was soaked
overnight. The whites for the
meringue were beaten until very
stiff with confectioner's sugar
added. =.
The baked pudding was allowed
to cool before the meringue was
added, then replaced in the oven,
where it remained until the
meringue was Drowned.
The finished product was placed
in the iceboX such as we had IN
those days and was served when
thoroughly chilled.
The recipe as I found 1t reads:
Soak 2 tablespoons OF pearl
tapioca in enough water to cover
it. / quart Milk. Beat the yolks
of 4 eggs with cup of sugar. stir
the mixture into the milk, boiling
it until it thickens. Put tapioca
in a pudding dish, pour the hot
custard over it, mix we'll. Bake
one-half hour. Make meringue OF
the egg whites"
Salt and vanilla were not men
toned in this old recipe, but OF
course they were used to flavor
to taste"
I take pleasure in reading the
many items of interest in the
columns of RICH.
