Chicken Favorite Holiday Treat

Chicken Favorite Holiday Treat
Fried chicken for Fourth of July
picnics is part of our American
heritage. And Miss Gertrude Hol-
loway, extension nutritionist for
the University of Delaware, points
out that right now chicken holds
a favorable position both in the
markets and in the family diet.
Chicken rates high in food value,
its protein content builds tissues,
its minerals build red blood, strong
teeth and bones, and its vitamins
promote growth and stimulate ap-
petites. =
Miss Holloway, being adapted to 4
number of recipes, ranging from
ever-popular fried and broiled
chicken to barbequed chicken and
chicken a la king. The success of

of cooking. Choose the bird suited
to the cooking method. Young
tender chicken may be cooked by
dry heat stuch as broiling, frying
and roasting, while older chickens
should be cooked by moist heat
Slow cooking at low temperature
is best, resulting in less shrinkage
and more tender, attractive meat.
Two free booklets of chicken re-
cipes are available from the Della

mer may increase the prevalence
of beetles this year.
Stevens advises that Japanese
beetles can be controlled effective
ly with a 5 per cent dust or a
spray. The following amounts OF
so per cent wettable powder are
needed for the quantity Of spray
desired: 1 and one-half tablespoons
powder for 1 gallon; 3 ounces pow
der for 10 gallons; and 2 pounds
powder for 100 gallons. Spray and
dust may be used on all shrubs,
flowers and fruits. However, IL
should not be used on fruit within
one month of harvest. Chinese
Elms may be injured by DDT, so
use lead arsenate on this tree.
During late summer the beetles
burrow into the ground, usually IN
the lawn, and lay eggs. After the
eggs hatch the white grubs feed
on the grass roots, sometimes
causing heavy damage to lawns.
Control of the grub is relatively
easy, according to Stevens, who
recommends regular use of DOT or
chlordane.
For grub control, DDT is used
at 6 pounds of 10 per cent dust per
1000 square feet (250 lbs. per acre.
preferably a dust which does not
have an adhesive. The easiest
way of distributing the dust is IN
a fertilizer distributor. 1t may be
put on by hand if it is first mixed
with sand or soil so as to MAKE
distribution easier. Use of chlor-
dane is also effective, at the rate
of 2 and one quarter pounds of 10
per cent chlordane per 1000 square
feet or and one-haf pounds of 5
per cent dust.
Both DDT and chlordane may al
so be applied as a spray to lawn
areas. The following mixture is
recommended: DOT, so per cent
powder at OF. to 2 and one-half
gallons of water for each 100
square feet; and chlordane. threq-
fourths of so per cent wettab&
powder to 2 and one half gallons
of water for each 100 square feet.

not only earn their own board and
keep. but they fix up the house and
buy mother pretty frocks. They
not only contribute far more
literally to the family fund than
their brothers. but give more while
they are earning than they will be
able to after they are married.
Nevertheless, most mothers are
just as anxious to marry off their
daughters as ever. They seem to
think that it is some sort of re-
Election on them for their girls to
remain single, that it somehow
indicates that they are less good
looking and less attractive than
other girls and that they have
been passed over by men.
Nobody can explain this par
ticuliar mania of mothers. 1t just
exists, and the inexplicable fact
remains that mother who really
loves her daughter and wants her
to be happy is still so anxious to
get her married that she is willing
for her to take any sort of a risk
in marriage, to marry a man old
enough to be her father or a man
of whose character and anteced-
ents she knows nothing or a
nee er-do-well who has never even
himself.
Apparently the great majority of
women are of the opinion that
even an unhappy marriage is
better than single blessedneSs.

DEAR MISS DIX: My mother
makes my home life miserable by
her matchmaking. I have just
passed my 10th birthday and am
making a fine salary. so I am not
q financial burden. But she wants
me to marry. I don't know why,
and she doesn't take into consider
alton the fact that ] am young
that I don't want to tie myself
down yet awhile and that I have
never met any man that I wanted
to be married to. Is there any way
I can make her understand this
and stop pastering me?-MARCIA
ANN.
Answer: The most curious thing
In all feminine psychology is the
attitude women take toward their
children's marriages. Nearly all
mothers are crazy to get their
daughters married off, and almost
all mothers Ioathe to have their
sons marry.
OF course, in the old days, when
girls were a burden on their own
family and when they had no way
Of supporting themselves except
by following the meanest and most
nl-paid occupations, it is easy to
see why mother was anxious to
get her daughters married.
But now all that Is changed.

Before that, her love of chill

When she was graduated from

often, when she can get away,
she goes back to see how the
crops are doing.

OF Naval Personnel on

By the Associated Press

The administrations plan to
hasten the replacement Of Navy
officers and men with civilians in
the government of Guam has run
into trouble before Senate Ap-
preparations Subcommittee.
James p. Davis, director Of the
Interior Departments Division OF
Territories and Island Possessions,
asked the subcommittee yester-
day for 5000 900 to put about 1875
civilians in the place Of 2l2 Navy
employees.
Jurisdiction to Be Shifted.
He pointed out that Carlton
Skinner, assistant to Secretary OF
the Interior Krug. has been named
civilian governor of Guam. And
he said that the Navy and In
terror Departments have agreed
on plan to replace Navy per-
sonnel with civilian workers be-
tween now and next July /. when
President Truman has ordered
the government shifted from Navy
to Interior jurisdiction.
Subcommittee members vigor-
ously opposed action, however.
until Congress has passed on leg

partment to establish the pattern
of the islands government.
McKellar Firmly Opposed.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma, contended the United
States will have to pay the Navy
employees of the Guam govern
ment anyway. whether they re-
main In their present Jobs or 60
to other posts. He said their re-
placement with civilians would
add to United States Government
costs.

 States rights has become trite phrase but the purposefu South Carolinan put steel in the defini- ton when told the Governors to to Washington with their hats their heads instead of in their hands, begging for portion of the tax money their constituents have been forced pay
 In the traditional philosophy of the Democratic Party, MT. Byrnes made great Democratic speech. Yet-and here is the amazing paradox - his address at Biloxi was better Republican speech than most any Republican has made in modern timesl
 Down through the decades, the Democratic Party has stood for states rights for local accessibility of the reins of government and against centralization of authority Until, that is, Democratic President during a national depression found a magic political success recipe in a centralized feed trough.
 Tn justice to the late Franklin D. Roosevelt it should be said that he did not reach out and grasp the reins of power formerly held by the States They were thrust upon him. State after State abdicated it's authority to Washington. They could have dealt singly with the burdens of relief and unemployment, but that would have involved unpleasant taxes or distasteful debts at home close to the taxpayers.
 So they found, or thought they found, Santa Claus in Westinghouse source of free and painless money far from home It was not free money, and it was only painless the present because each State owes it's share of the tremendous Federal debt and Washington has become not merely the Federal Government but THE Government.
 The way in easy. The way back is hard But until somehow, the people of America recapture locally the reins of government. we shall continue going down road that leads straight to the death of political freedom.

Pulling the Right Wires

Simultaneously with the depart ure of the West Coast T-Men for Washington, there also left Los Angeles for Washington one Harry Sackman, a Certified Public Ac- countant, since then indicted by Los Angeles County. Sackman had been in charge of the gambling rings books and hurried east for the purpose of getting his gamb- ling bosses out of the soup. In Washington he conferred with Ted Hayes, former head of the Inter national sweepstakes in Mexico City.
 Significantly when the books of the Guarantee Finance Company were seized in Los Angeles, various papers were found linking the Cal ifornia gambling ring to Ted Hayes old organization in Mexico City including one telegram in which the Mexican Sweepstakes asked for ST. GOO.
 Hayes, no longer with the Mexi can Sweepstakes, was formerly as' sociated with Ed Flynn, Democrats boss of the Bronx. He is now witt
