TAXES-ALASKA'S AND HAWAIPS

Remember that old and oft repeated crack about Alaska being the lowest taxed entity under the Am erican flag?
 According Karel Hunter Sheecha, deputy auditor of Hawaii that territo1ys budget for the bennium is $65 OOO la95 st.4t
 Alaskas appropriations for the biennium as pass ed by the l949 legislature were over $20,0O0,o0O.
 The Hawaiian Islands have a population approx- mately five times as great Alaska In 1948 the population estimate for the Territory of Hawaii was $40 800. ssssN E @#
 With five times Alaskas population, Hawaiians nav only three times as much to operate their govern ment as we do.
 If our cost of government was the ratio as Hawaiis to population, would be paying only about SIS 900 GOO for the biennium.

The Navy's Lark"

The only missile which can be described in print is called the Lark, of which the Navy has man. ufactured approximately 200. Or iginally developed as a counter weapon to the Jap Kamikaze, the Lark has two liquid rocket engines, uses acid and aniline fuel, and can operate outside the dense oxygen layer of the earth's atmosphere.
 When the Lark hears the target, a second and independent electron- ic system automatically picks up the target and guides the missile to it. A proximity fuse sets off the bomb. The Lark weighs 1900 pounds and is Is feet long. It has two pairs of wings at right angles.
 IL is healthy fact that the Air Force, instead of bucking Navy development which may put big bombers out of business, is giving 100 per cent cooperation to the Navy. In fact, the Air Force was so impressed with Lark, it pur- chased 82 from the Navy. It also went to bat with Secretary John son in demanding that funds be allocated for further developments
 Note-another weapon in the Navy's bag of scientific tricks is a pilotless ram jet plane It oper- ates on a radical principle-the more air it rams into, the faster it goes.

strument of national policy that only madmen provoke it.
 A peace offensive is usual in time of war. Tn peace, normally 1t is not necessary to try to attain peace. Obviously then there is no peace and there has been no peace since the shooting ended. The Euro- pean policy of the American gov ernment is more within the atmos- phere of an armistice than peace. We are arming our allies; we are assisting in laying the foundations of a United Europe; we are en-
 gazing ourselves to finance war 1 if necessary. There is almost no iprecedent m time of peace for such 1 bellicosity as Dean Acheson now
 speaks.
 It has all had definite effect upon Soviet Russia. The entire Communist movement throughout
 the world, their press and orators | their fellow-traveler associates, are
 engaged in a worldwide effort tc effect peace on the basis of the | present territorial status quo. Ir
 a word, Soviet Russia desires a period to consolidate the empire
 of 800,000,000 human beings wno
 have been conquered, coerced and
 reduced to slavery. The very peo- pie who shouted for second front" at Stalin's behest, before the United States was ready for D-Day
 are now flying the dove of peace also at Stalin's behest. It is pos sible to identify their inspiration by noting their activity in both
 these movements.
 Trygve Lie, Secretary-cenera1 of
 the United Nations faced by the
 Russian boycott of his organiza- ton, has devoted himself to
 achieving the aappeasement of Sov-
 jet Russia. How that would stren-
 gthen the United Nations is diffi-
 cult to understand, for if the Rus :! sians can get away with decisions
 by-walkout, the veto becomes mast
 cry and the swalkout the method
 of legislation.

LIME PIES.


(Fron1 Mrs. c. c. c., WGshinoton.D
Last week, as I recall, some one
asked for a recipe for Key Lime
Pie. Inclosed are three copied
from the Key West Cookbook"
published in 1949 by the Key West
Women's Club. This book is q
collection of local recipes all writ
ten out by hand and signed by
the various contributors. I have
not used these recipes, so cannot
say whether they give good re-
suits, although it seems likely they
would. However, as I don't like
gelatine or condensed milk, I
thought that a very good recipe
we use for lemon meringue pie
might be used also for lime pie.
This recipe, called "Betty's Lemon
Chiffon Pie" is taken from the,
Woman's Exchange Recipes. Eff
ty Years of Good Cooking" pub
lished 1910 by the Detroit Wom-
ans Exchange.
Betty's Lemon Chiffon Pie: 6
eggs. separated, 112 cups sugar,
112 lemons, juice and rind, 70 tea
spoon salt, l tablespoon flour,
baked pie shell. Beat yolks and
add u cup sugar, flour, lemon
juice, grated rind and salt. Cook
in double boiler until mixture
coats spoon. Beat egg whites and
gradually add remaining sugar.
Beat until meringue stands in
peaks. Fold half of meringue in
to cooked mixture. Turn into
baked pie shell. Put remaining
half of meringue on top. Bake
in moderate oven, 325 degrees.
until meringue is delicately
Drowned.
This makes a fairly big pie ga
inch pie TIM and of course the
recipe can be cut in half when
only two or three people are to
be served. We find 1l2 cups sugar
a little too sweet, so for the big
pie use l cup, for the little pie
about 70 cup. OF course that is
a matter of taste. This is the
best lemon pie recipe we have
run across and I don't see why 1t
wouldn't be just as good with lime
juice.
Key Lime Pie: 3 egg yolks.
can condensed milk. "a cup key
lime juice. Break eggs lightly,
then add condensed milk to the
yolks and beat again. Add lime
juice and beat until smooth. Pour
mixture into a baked pastry shell'
top with meringue and bake in a
slow oven until meringue is brown.
Meringue: Beat whites of 8
eggs until stiff but not dry. Add
" teaspoon sugar, beating con-
stantly. Swirl onto top Of lime

ED. Note: Many people make
the graham cracker pie shell and
prefer it to all others. The recipe
will be found on the cracker box.
Key Lime Pie: 4 eggs. cup

cup lime juice. l lime rind grated
fine. u teaspoon salt, 2 table,
spoons angostura bitters. Beat
egg yolks. Add u cup sugar, lime
Juice and salt. Cook in double

Remove from fire and add gela-
tine (Which has been soaked in

and rind. Mix well until mixture
begins to thicken. Fold in beaten
egg whites to which remaining "
cup sugar has been added. Pour
into baked pie crust. Spread with

CHEESE CAKE

(Front Mrs. H. T.G., Falls Church, }
For M. H. E. of Washington
The recipe for cheese cake with
cream cheese is delicious. There
may be similar ones, but I've never
seen this particular one in print,
it belonged to my mother.
One package zwieback, table
spoons butter, 2 tablespoons sugar,
u cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour,
"a teaspoon salt, l pound cream
cheese, l teaspoon vanilla, 4 eggs,
l cup heavy cream. Roll zWie-
back into crumbs, add butter and
2 tablespoons sugar, creamed
together. Blend thoroughly and
put into a spring form pan. Press
down evenly on bottom. Mix "
cup sugar with -four and salt
and cream with cream cheese.
(The brand with a five-letter word
beginning with K is superior to
any other for creaming.) Add
vanilla and yolks of eggs and beat.
Add cream, mix again. Fold in
beaten egg whites and pour mix

well to compare experiences with
Mrs. Margaret E. Broadley OF
Kensington, Md.
Mrs. Broadley, an uncommonly
expressive story teller has told
how she escaped from blindness
and from her own reactions to
tin desperate two-year battle,
which is still not entirely won.
The story appears IN Life
Magazine this week, written by
Mrs. Broadley, in part, as follows:
"One Saturday morning, almost
two years ago, I found myself
going blind. Within five hours, I
was on my way to the hospital.
I recall the doctors saying I had
what he called detached retina,
a tiny rip in the retina that had
separated it from the eye ball.
1.-The most important thing, he
said, was to get me to the hospital
Immediately. Without the opera
ton, I recall his adding, I would
lose the sight Of my left eye and,
as in other cases, the same thing
could happen to my right eye,
resulting in total blindness"
Told Not To Move.
Mrs. Broadley recalls she had
some hazy notion that: in a few
days. I would be about with a
patch on one eye" However, she
was quickly disillusioned once she
arrived as Episcopal Hospital.
Installed in bed with her feet
elevated and her head held tightly
between two sandbags. she was
told sternly not to make the
slightest move. A nurse put
drops in my eyes, placed handages
over each eye and fastened them
we'll onto my cheeks with what
felt like scotch tape. Over them
she tied q stiff mask"
Warned to lie perfectly still and
keep your eyes looking straight

stumble might have been disas-
trous.
IT made two nerve-racking ex-
cursions down the corridor before
I was allowed to go home" she
said. "Since I have never seen
the corridor I wonder if it is really
as long as it seemed"
AS the result of her begging,
she was driven home in an ambu-
lance in time for Halloween.
II knew the children would get
a kick out of my arrival home on
that day, particularly in my black
mask" she said. II was carried
on a stretcher upstairs to my
bed. Although I could not see,
I could feel and I could hear.
There was the delicious sensation
of being in familiar surroundings,
the sound of excited, happy voices
OF those dearest to me. and that
wonderful feeling of being home.
Too Happy to Care.
About 10 days later, my hus-
band helped me down the stairs,
and I ate at the table with the
family. Even If I couldn't see
was determined to feed myself.
After the food was cut up lifted
my plate to a level with the pin
point and caught something with
the fork. It was untidy, but was
too happy to care"
Today, after a long slow recov-
cry, Mrs. Broadley lives a fairly
normal life" with her husband, a
Government official. and their
two children, Barbara, IL, and
Deborah, 10.
"It is true" she writes, IT can't
do all the things I used to. can
do no strenuous lifting, bending
over or stretching. And I still
have some distortion of vision "a
condition that will never disap-
pear completely. But I am so
grateful that I am not blind that
this matters little to me-"
In addition to her story for Life.

room; but never before had I
encountered anything that ap-
praoched this.
II am no superwoman and I
never did enjoy feeling martyred.
My first impulse was to rebel
with an emotional tantrum-to
kick. scream. sob. The thought
of facing a month or more in this
position, blinded, seemed more
than I could bear. My heart
ached for a look at my husband
and children, and for a moment
the forbidden tears swelled.
Good Cry Denied.
II had to avoid any thoughts
that made me emotionally upset
in any way. The woman's natural
luxury of good cry was denied
me. I would not let my husband
or the nurses read any letters of
sympathy to me; I did not let my
self think about the outcome of
the operation, or whether I might
be disfigured. To do this I found
I had to rule myself with an iron
hand, for I am naturally emo
tional. I worked out system of
thinking-by replacing thoughts
with pleasant ones before the un-
pleasant thought gets a chance to
develop. 1t really works"
After the fourth day, the op-
Grafton took place, conducted by
DR.. M. Noel Stow. AS described
by Life, it calls for delicate
touch. The tear in the retina is
blocked off with an electric needle
and fluid forced into the eyeball
to force the detached retina back
into position. Of the operation,
Mrs. Broadley recalls only "a
recollection of glaring lights, then
of tubes rammed down my
throat"
When I regained consciousness,
I was back in my bed and another
nurse was feeding me spoonfuls of

to find that behind the mask

the operation-that this was
another world.
Fitted For Glasses.
Three weeks after the opera
ton I was fitted for pin point
glasses. When I was told ! would
get my pin-points I had an idea
they would have tiny peep-hole
for each eye, and at last I would
be able to see at least a little
something. When the doctor re-
moved the bandages and slipped
on the pin points, my heart sank.
The left eye was completely blacked
out. In the right side there was
the barest pin prick in the solid
black glass, put there to help me
keep my eye looking straight
ahead. The goggles were made to
fit so no other light could come
in"
Mrs. >Broadley recalls her fight
with self-pity.
Looking at the ceiling, I could
see a tiny grayish moon. That
was to be my eyesight for the
next few months, and again I had
to fight back the tears. Then I
became ashamed. I knew now
what it is to be blind, and I was
one of the fortunate ones who
would see again."
Mrs. Broadley recalls her first
tortured walk down the hospital
corridor, when the smallest jolt or

For Mrs. c. H., Arlington: We
have compared notes with a
friend on the speed of gas and
electric stoves. Our electric range,
now two years old, boiled a quart
of water in an open saucepan,
starting with a cold burner, in 81a
minutes. It took z minutes start
ing with the burner already hot.
The friends gas range took 6
minutes for quart of water. He
mentioned that it has a double
burner feature that gives extra
heat to bring things to a boil
faster. Today's electric stoves are
much faster than the old ones.
