ELECTRIC OVEN;

(From Mrs. p. F.. Washtnoton.J
To the lady who asked about
electric ovens: The small roasteis S
put out plenty of heat. probably
as much as the oven OF an electric
range. 1t might possibly keep the
kitchen cooler than a gas oven.
It's best advantage is the thermo-
stat; you can set 1t and go out for
an hour or so. 1t Is q very
moist oven. You need less water
in cooking and will find that food
Is less brown and crusty than In
large oven. However. the broiler
attachment will put q good brown
on meat in q few minutes. Cakes
and cookies are excellent but 1t
is much more inconvenient to ar
range the two racks than with a
regular oven. We have used our
oven and hot plate in place Of
a stove in our housing project,
and found 1t very satisfactory.

For Mrs. T. L. Washington:
Pie crust: Try using a canvas
cloth and rolling pin cover for

with pie cruSts until I purchased
the paSary set and can't recall a
single failure since. regardless of

Iron cord: Last summer, right

end Iron cord tangles." An iron
cord attachment. manufactured

addition. the coil spring attach
ment protects the cord from fray

highly. for it speeds up ironing
considerably.
From Mrs. w. G., WdshingtonJ
For Mrs. T. L.. Washington:
Since purchased a board. pastry
cloth and rolling pin cover. have
made wonderful crusts. I use
prepared pie crust which calls for
4 tablespoons of cold water.
When mixed with a fork until it
forms into a ball, I turn 1t onto
the Toured board and kneed
slightly with waxed paper be-
tween fingers and dough. My
hands never touch the dough ex-
cept to place it onto the pan.
The pie crust is so thin. one can
almost read through 1t. I never
had any luck until I made the
above purchases. Dough never
falls apart or gets fiaky and
tough as formerly.

House Unit 10 Get Plea
By Mayhem for CUT
In Firemen's Hours

Fire Chief Joseph A. Mayhem
and his fiscal aides were scheduled
to go before a House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee today to JUS
tify the shorter work week for
f1remen. for which funds are
sought in the pending District
budget.
Congress has authorized a 60
hour week for the fire-fighters,
as against the present 72 hours
of duty. But the new system
cannot become operative, under
the authorization, until six
months after funds for additional
personnel are made available.
The department had asked 201
new jobs to make the shorter week
possible; but the budget, as sent
to Congress, calls for 146 addi-
tional positions. The department
believes it can place the 60-hour
week in effect with this number
but considers it the "barest min
imum."
A total of $4,641, 900 has been
recommended to run the depart
ment for the year beginning July
/. This compares with $5,328,8S6

The Only Way Out

We like the courage and forthrightness with which
the editor of the Emory University Wheel student pub
caon approaches the question of admission of Negroes
into that and other institutions of the South for gradu
ate instruction.
The separate and equal,' concept he said is
gigantic fasehood To equalze educational facilities
between white and Negro Students he reports will re-
quire expenditure of $31 100000 for each state in
the South And accordingly, he suggests that schools
like Emory should offer graduate and professional
work to Negroes on the selective basis.
We think that is a sound position and the only
that stand the light of logic before the courts of the
nation. The Heman Marion Sweat rests squarely
that position In laying the groundwork for that suit
the National Association for the Advancement of Color
ed People drew upon the wisdom and experiences of dis
tinguished law school and graduate school deans to
certain if, in their opinion, there could be any basic
foundation to the doctrine of separate but equal In
every essential respect the testimony supported the
theory that there be no such thing.
The University of Texas has admitted Negro for
graduate instructions with provisions for him to study
across the street at the YMCA. But court in the
g land we don't believe would accept such arrange
ment as equal The plain truth is the South is too
to maintain separate school systems.
The above is the recent editorial expression of the
Atlanta Daily World, the nations and only Daily
Negro Newspaper.
With no opportunity at all for higher and pro-
fessional education for the Negro Citizens of MISSISSIPPI
p the Legislature in session may well ponder the
truth thus stated by the Atlanta Daily World.
