decorator so that it barely touches
the cake. If the point is not close
enough to the cake or sandwich,
the design cannot be formed.
A basic frosting for decorator
sets: Beat / egg white stiff. Use Il
tspn. cream of tartar and l p cups
powdered sugar and add to egg
white. This must be stiff enough to
stand in a peak. Add coloring as
desired. The mixture dries out
quickly and the bowl of icing
should be covered with damp
cloth while you are working.
To make a good Butter Icing,
mix / tblspn. butter with 1 cup
powdered sugar, stir thoroughly
and add color if desired. Paste
must be stiff enough to retain de-
sign when pressed out of the tube,
but soft enough to squeeze out of
the bag easily. A few drops of milk
or water may be added to retain
this consistency.
Try out few of your designs on
waxed paper first before starting
to decorate your cake.

was Ma Baker, but even she wasn't
in the same class when it came to
making crime paying enterprise
She was just tough one, probably
caught in the crime web with her
sons.
1t seems to hold true that femin-
inc crime has a sex angle, whereas
male crime is more often just a
perverted game of getting easy
money. Either that or it is (and
quite often) the result of a mental
condition, a blast of emotional in
stability.
Women just don't go in for such
stuff.
Take, for example, the current
messiness of the horse booking
business and the racing wire shen-
anigans.
There are a few women in the
second string, but the tops arc
men.
The Chicago Crime Commission
has its eye on plenty of men, but
not on very many women and pro-
badly none in the first line of
gangsterism.
Maybe this doesn't prove any
thing and maybe it does. 1t doesn't
necessarily indicate that women
are more moral than men and pos
sibly they aren't.
There are basic differences be-
tween the sexes that have to do
with the whole outlook on life.
Scientists are just beginning to find
out how deep and meaningful are
these differences. We know about
the aggressor male and the pro-
tective female, but now the scien-
tifc researchers are finding that
there is much more than that in
the way of distinction. When We
know the whole story we may know
quite accurately why gangsterism
is a male pursuit. There usually
are female parasitic beneficiaries
of the Capone type of operation,
but the active leadership of crimes
for profit is generally in the hands
of the male.

The shocking figures, which un-
derline the need for quick passage

or "poor". None rated their schools

South With 1929 OF
Democratic Votes,
Still Runs Senate
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON

Washington LPA)-One of the
major reasons the Truman fair
deal program is begging down in
the Senate is that never before in
American history have so many
votes had so little representation
in the seats of might in the Sen
ate.
President Truman was reelected
last fall by more than 24,C00,000
votes on his fair deal program and
carried into office with him enough
liberal Democratic Senators to
swing the balance of control in the
Senate heavily to his side, at least
on the surface.
But those fair deal Senators
have found themselves thwarted
and frustrated at every turn by a
group of southern Senators whose
states contributed little more than
1910 of the total Democratic vote,
yet who hold most of the powerful
posts that belong to the Demo
cratic party as result of last
years victory.
Sen. Harley Kilgore Cd, w. Va.),
one of the presidents strongest
supporters in the Senate, has cal
culated that IL southern states,
which contributed only 100000 of
the 24,000,000 votes cast for Pres
ident Truman last fall, hold six of
the most powerful of the Is Senate
committee chairmanships, plus lib
eral representation on the Demo-
cratic Policy Committee, the Demo-
cratic Committee on Committees
(Which assigns Senators to their
committee posts) and on the Rules
Committee which helps to retain
the present system of control.
The six powerful Senate commit
tees which are headed by these
southern Democrats include: APP
preparations, Bank & Currency,
Expenditures in Executive Depart
ment, Finance, Foreign Relations,
and Post Office & Civil Service.
These include the top committees
in the Senate.
Counting into this group the
Senators from Maryland, Arizona
and Nevada, who often vote with
the southern conservatives, the
bloc still represents less than g.
100000 of the 24,000,0O0 Demo-
cratic votes cast in the last cleo
ton. Yet as the accompanying map
shows clearly, this group of states
holds about half of the top party
posts in the Senate, including COM
mittee chairmanships, and member
ships on the Policy Committee, the
Committee on Committees and the
Rules Committee.
One of the new liberal Senators,
Paul Douglas ID, 1ll), described
the situation to the Senate recent
ly in a little different terms. He
said:
"Of the Is committees of this
body, all but one, and that the
least important nationally, namely,
the Committee on the District of
Columbia are headed by southerns

whole"
What this means is that the
southern Democrats not only hold
the balance of power in the Sen
ate by combining with the Repub-
licans on many issues, but they
have much more power within the
Democratic party itself than the
Democrats who represent most of
the democratic voters.
This results from two things.
First is the constitutional compro-
mise giving small states the same

New Age Limit
Set For Pension
OF Coal Miners

Washington (LPA)-A new i'm
provement in old age pensions for
coal diggers was chalked off this
week by President John L. Lewis
of the United Mine Workers. He
won a fight to reduce the retire
ment age Of miners from 62 to so,
with pensions as now Of 500 a
month after 20 years Of service.
The victory was scored through
the Miners Welfare and Retire
ment Fund, Of which Lewis IS
chairman. The other trustees are
Ezra Van Horn for the operators
and Sen. Styles Bridges OR, NH,
neutral. Bridges sponsored the re-
solution for the change.
In a statement issued for the
trustees, Bridges said actuaries
had advised him that "from the
standpoint Of long-range financing
it would make no appreciable diff
ference to make the payments
either at 62 or CO."
Will this bring a big increase
in the number Of miners going on
the pension rolls? Bridges said no.
"The experience of the pension
fund thus far" he declared, would
seem to indicate that the majority
of miners prefer to continue to
work so long as they are physical
" able rather than to retire"
As expected, the action brought
a blast from Joseph Moody, pres
ident of the Southern Coal Produc-
ers Assn. Moody protested that
the action "means what Lewis said
last year-that he was going to
confront the operators with an ac-
complished fact"
Earlier the policy committee Of
Moody's association held a secret
session in Washington at which
strategy was mapped for a pur-
ported Showdown" battle with
Lewis in forthcoming negotiations
on a new contract to replace the
existing one expiring June 80.
News reports disclosed that the
Southern operators are trying to
mobilize, support from other oper-
ators to- resist the unions demands
and provoke a strike rather than

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

The liquid and bones in a can of
fish offer good nutritive value and
deserve to be used rather than dis
carded, according to the home
economists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
The housewife who wants to get
her moneys worth from the can
will use the liquid in making sauce
for creamed fish, in soups or
chowders, or in the dressing for
fish salad. The natural oil in such
canned fish as salmon contains Wit
amin d, which few common foods
offer, as well as vitamin A and
energy value.
Bones in canned fish usually are
so softened by the canning process
that they can be crushed or mash
ed and mixed with the fish, thus
adding calcium and phosphorus.

HAVE YOU HEARD =? ??? Il
BY MARY MOORE

A new type of pinSing shears is
on the market. The shears involve
less effort in operation and are
cheaper than the old type.
The manufacturer says the teeth
are never worn down after long
use, a disadvantage of the conven-
tional type shears.
The shears are not really scissor
operated at all. Working the handle
causes tiny cog wheels to operate
the cutting wheel. The cutting
wheel turns against another wheel,
which acts as an anvil.
The old cut-hop-cut-hop pinking
process is abolished as the turning
wheels feed the fabric as they cut.
A screw behind the cutting wheel
allows adjustment to fabric thick
ness. This adjustment will assure
actual pinking instead of fraying
of the edges, a difficulty when
fabric is too thick for alignment
of the blades. They carry a five
year guarantee certificate against
defect of material or workmanship.

NY Beer Strike A
Success, Brewers
Meet Union Terms

New York (LPA)-With AFL
and unaffliated unions of skilled
workers supporting them, the New
York locals Of the Brewery Work
ers, were hopeful last week of
scoring a real success in their
strike against Gotham's beer MAX
ers.
Already several breweries, out
side the Brewers Board of Trade
which forced the strike, have met
the unions demands-a 35-hour
week, a substantial pay increase,
and the employment Of two men
on delivery trucks. Stipulations
also agreed to between the union
and a number of beer distributors
provide for the delivery Of the beer
Of companies signing with the
union, and no delivery for beer of
the struck plants.
The Brewers Board of Trade has
still not budged from it's offer Of a
SZ weekly pay raise. The union is
asking $3.50. Members of the seven
New York locals voted for strike
4497 to 478.
Agreement has also been reached

services in the breweries. Employ

leveled against the maintenance

vices, meanwhile, are attempting
to secure a settlement of the strike.

spite their opposition to the pro
gram of their party. Next, it
should be possible over the years
to build a better democracy in the
south, with a two party system
which would force Senators to face
their constituents on issues as
Senators from other sections have
to do.
Unless something is done labor

have to look elsewhere for a party

of trimming. Exaggerated skirt
fullness is only for the very slim
figure. However, impressed pleats
deep inverted pleats, skirts cut
with a circular flare and medium
full skirts that hang straight are
all good this season.
You will find much hip interest
in skirts, both in the peg top skirt
and wide pocket effects.
The way to achieve the new En-
pire look is by means of tight
midriff, and a plunging neckline.
Collars that frame the bosom and
shoulders are extremely good.
The simple straight line dark
dress with impressed pleats and
exaggerated white pique collar and

the designers.

nothing quite so dressy or stunning

one of the pastel shades. The more
elaborate ones are trimmed with
expensive lace insets, and they
look every penny Of the price you
must pay for them. If you are
handy with the needle this is one
type dress you can make and save
money, providing you can find the
pastel linen.
If you shop around the drapery
material departments you will find
lovely flowered and figured butch
or linens which make into stunning
simple line sunback dresses.

scarf to cover your shoulders with

one of ordinary fishermen's net and

or your three-strand pearl neck
lace-it covers you up a lot.
