WORLDS LARGEST
ELECTRIC RANGE PLANT

About nine years after the
turn of the 10th century,
George A. Hughes, commonly
referred to as the "father of
the electric range" introduce
ed his first electric range to
the public.
Manufactured in a basement
on South Dearborn Street, Chi
cago, the forerunner of today's
sleek electric ranges was greet
ed alphabetically by a wary
public.
However, the Hughes Heat
ing Co. grew steadily. It wasn't
until 1918 when merged with
the Hotpoint Co. of California,
manufacturer of hand irons,
and the General Electric ap-
pliance division, to become the
Edison General Electric Co.,
Inc. with Mr.. Hughes as presi-
dent) that the electric range
went on the market under the
familiar ''Hotpoint'' name.
Years later the company name
was changed to HOTPOINT,
INC, to coincide with the
brand name.
The constant pioneering of
new electric range develop
ments by Mr.. Hughes and his
associates in the early days
of the company has gained
public confidence and accept
ance of the product and it's lit
tie wonder that today the new
HOTPOINT home occupies an
Is acre tract in Cicero capable
of producing 100000 ranges

Only twice did I ever make a cruise on the Presidential yacht. Beth cruises were political. Never was I invited to join informal White House gatherings. My appearances there were for official social func- tions or for informal dinners fol- lowed by exploration of political and patronage problems. Mrs. FL eanor Roosevelt once said, Franklin finds it hard to relax with people who aren't his social equals I took this remark to explain my being out of the infield.' When Eleanor calls Al snob, it is the pot calling the kettle black.

cause we discussed them often. Al told me once that many fathers ruined first class, competent sons who would have made something of themselves were it not for paternal corruption by giving them means without teaching them how to use the means.
 But Al did not disrespect men be- cause they were rich or because they were poor. The Man counted, not his purse. And what is more, Eleanor Roosevelt knows that no matter what she pretends to re- member now, she never called Al Smith a snob of any kind while he lived, for with such politeness as my friend, Westbrook Pegler, would not stoop to. he would have blasted her memory with the record.
 And note this by the lady:
 .. When we went to Albany, the Democratic staff in the man. sion was troubled because they felt they could not cater ade- quately for us For instance, they had always had to make monu- mental desserts for the Smiths, and thought we would expect even grander dishes. They were greatly relieved when they learned that we ate very simple food-like our traditional scrambled eggs for Sun day-night suppers."
 Now what do you think of that! So the Governor was a snob be- cause he liked desserts, and Frank lin D. Roosevelt was paragon of virtue because he liked scrambled eggs on Sunday nights! The logic of that would surely throw for a lcop a medieval logician trying to discover what can pass through the eye of a needle
 And talking about snobs, do you recall Jim Farley's testimony, how he and Bess Farley were treated in the White House like "shanty" Irish. Jim Farley wrote:

THESE DAY
GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
ELEANOR ON AL

One of the most amazing passages in Eleanor Roosevelts book on what she remembers is the re- ference to Al Smith who handpick
 ed her husband, Franklin, to be Governor of the State of New York and got his great. good friend, John J. Raskob. to put up the money to make it possible. This is what she said:
 There are two kinds of snobbish- ness. That of the man who has had a good many opportunities and looks down on those who lack them is usually recognized by all. The other kind of snobbishness is rarely understood yet it is real. It is that of the self-made man, who glories in his success in overcoming difficulties and adnires greatly people who have achieved the things he considers of importance.
 Governor Smith, for instance, had great deal of respect for material success. He admired men who, like John Raskob, had made a success in business through their own ef- forts or who in some other way had made name in the world in spite of modest beginnings. But he tended to look down on a man who had not met and conquered the situations he himself had-a man like Franklin, who was con- tent not to make a great deal of money so long as he had enough to live comfortably. :"
 Anyone who had known Al Smith, as I had from the days on the East Side, would never call Al any kind of snob. True, Al preferred men who made their own way, inde- pendent men, men of character, of integrity, of probity, of ability. know AIS ideas about this be-

There is one finale to a light
dinner that we never fail to appre-

we're not sure which one we rate
tops. However, here they are for
your delectation:
Buy a can of imported preserved
guavas. Chill them just slightly
and serve in a bowl, after you
have passed a bowl of cottage
cheese. Pour the preserved guavas
over the cottage cheese and fall to.
The other side of the picture is
to get a box of imported Cuban
guava paste-not jelly-and serve
it cut in cubes with balls of cream
cheese and hot toast fingers.
Spread the cheese on the toast,
top with a bit of guava paste
perfect!
