Indian Bread
From the Indians we learned to
make bread with Indian meal made
from yellow corn. Some of the early
recipes were called Indian bread.
Nowadays it usually bears the high
brow caption, Boston Brown Bread"
and, together with Boston baked
beans, keeps the New Highlander
linked with the ingenuity and good
common sense of his ancestors.
Southern mammies ingeniously
baked their corn bread on the blade
of a hoe before the fireplace and so
we have handed down to us the hoe
cake. In the north, Johnnycake be-
gan as a corn bread that was baked
in convenient small cakes to be car
ried in the pocket or in the saddle
bag on journey through the wilder
ness. They were called journeycakes
and some day when Johnny started
out, no doubt his family facetiously
dubbed his corn cakes Johnnycakes.
Thus another bit was added to our
food lore.

Inquiry Stalled On Bradley Talks With President

WASHINGTON, {P)-The Sen ate inquiry into Gen. MacArthur's dismissal was broken off today by g hot argument over whether Gen. Omar Bradley should tell about his private talks with President Truman.
 Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, refused yesterday to tell what he and MT. Truman said to each other prior to the firing of the Far Eastern com mander. Today, the White House said MT. Truman does not want Bradley ito do so. Nevertheless, some Republicans on the inquiry panel-made up of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees - were insistent that Bradley should tell.
 While Bradley sat silently in the witness chair for more than two hours today, the Senators ar gued heatedly. Charges, implied and direct, of trying to play poh- tics figured in the debate.
 In the upshot:
 l. Bradley was dismissed as a witness until Monday.
 2. The Senators agreed to vote at noon tomorrow on whether they should insist that the five star general tell them about his conference with the President.

They later counter attacked and re- gained the positions.

LA PAZ, BOhVIa, (H) - The army seized the government of this tin-rich nation today, claim ing it was in "real and immediate danger"
 Maj. Gen. Ovidio Quiroga, army chief of staff, named a military junta headed by Gen. Hugo Balli- vian as president and defense minister, after President Urriola- goitia resigned and left the com- try.

Engagement
SETTING

Three main styles give a vivid
picture Of the varying fashion en-
|phasis In diamond ring settings
during the last 100 years.
The cluster setting was popular
around 1851. It was distinguished
by having many small diamonds
punched together, generally set In
yellow gol, instead Of platinum.
Famous high-set Solitaires be-
came fashionable for engagement
rings at the turn Of the Goth
century. though the cluster never
went completely out of the fashion
picture.
Today, as it happens. the
modern engagement ring, with its
main central diamond flanked by
two smaller ones, seems to be ex-
tremely popular in many parts Of
the country. Naturally, individual
settings vary with the inclination
of the wearer, as do the shapes
and sizes of the diamonds selected.
regardless Of the varying emphasis
of fashion.

Somebody told her that it would

His being quiet for any length OF

great store of energy which they
should use to promote their

that demands action.
To make the action profitable
to their growth, it must succeed.
1t must afford them pleasure in
success. A little child has great

DEFROSTERS.
CLEANING BLENDERS.
CUCKOO SON92

From Mrs. D. p. c.. Cheuy Chase
This Is for the lady who asked
about automatic defrosters on a
refrigerator. We've had one since
last December and like 1t very
much. Defrosting still has to be
done. but only about once a month
in the summer and once in two
months In the winter. Your re-
frigerator can be turned to its
lowest point Except in hot. humid
weather., thus saving electricity.
Also. frozen vegetables and meat
stay frozen. Ice cream thaws
somewhat and stays rather mushy
so that's the only drawback.
Some time ago some one asked
how to clean a blender or liquid
izer. Mine had directions which
said to use a bottle brush and it
will certainly clean out the coolest
of mixtures. ! also use my bottle
brush for cleaning the beaters of
my electric mixer.

always called it, and I was one
