Mrs. Hucks used to sell her
cakes by mail order, they were
so good. Here's the recipe
JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA.
"ERE is a fruitcake so good it built mail
III order business. For nearly 10 years this
cake was shipped cross-country by the hun
dreds of pounds throughout the holiday sea-
son. 1t is the recipe of Mrs. T. G. Hucks who
lives in Jacksonville, Fla, and who bakes
the cake still, but just for family and friends
Mrs Hucks, a stocky little woman of de-
termined air, grey curls primly set, brown
eyes a-twinkle, told me, Il live in Jackson
vile and have ever since 1917, but I'm a real
Georgia cracker. grew up on farm forty
miles from Atlanta" This fruitcake, she
claims, has Georgia background.
Mrs. Hucks lives alone Her three children
are married and at home in other cities. Her
husband is gone for many years, yet Mrs.
Hucks isn't lonely She loves to cook, she
loves fixing for company. And occasionally,
just to do something different, she caters
affairs for the Riverside Park Methodist
Church. Once she catered as business.
Ask Mrs. Hucks for her most unusual
recipe and she answers fruitcake. Next she
names her strawberry jam which is locally
famous. "And, of course, my milkbread."

Britain Warns u. n.
BY the A..oeioted Pres,

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April 8.-Britain denounced dis
guised slavery practices yester-
day. but said the U. N. will have
to go carefully in measures to
stamp them out.
c. A. G.. Meade, speaking for
Britain in the Social Committee
of the U. N. Economic and Social
Council, said, Millions of our
fellow creatures are at this very
moment living and laboring un-
der conditions akin to slavery,
and more are born to these
conditions every hour"
He said that although crude
slavery has all but disappeared,
people were made slaves by debt
bondage. Serfdom, abuses arising
from the adoption of young
children, the bride price" paid
for women at marriage in Africa,
and the physical transfer of
women without their consent.
Mr.. Meade was the first speak
er in the committees study of
findings made by special COM
mittee which has been studying
slavery practices for the U. N.

Ford Co. Joins GIN
In Cost-of-Liyinq
Reduction in Pay
By the Associated Pres.

DETROIT. April 8.-The Ford
Motor Co.. following the lead of
General Motors today announced
a penny-an-hour cost of living
pay cut for it's approximately
10000 production employees.
GIN. employer of $4,000 hour
ly rated workers, took the step
yesterday as the first producer
in the auto industry to make the
move.
Thus more than half a mil
lion auto workers have received
wage cuts and another half mil
lion face the same amount of
reduction from other companies
soon.
The Ford and General Motors
pay cuts, effective April 13,
are in line with the industry's
f1ve-year contracts with the CIO
United Auto Workers Union,
which are tied to the Govern
ment's cost-of living index.
Both Ford and General Motors
ordered proportionate reductions
for their more than 100000 SAL
aries employees.
Pattern Set by Contracts.
The cut for hourly workers was
made under labor contracts
which set a, pattern in 1850 for
practically the entire automobile
industry.
Ford said it's proportional pay
cut for salaried workers would
be $5.25 quarterly.

promised to send a new batch
of trees.
Mrs. Taft Plants First Tree.
This time he sent 5000 in
1912 and all but five passed in
spection. Later in the year Mrs.
Taft planted the first tree and
Col. Cosby took over from there
to supervise the entire job.
1.-THE Japanese had carefully
labeled the single blossom trees
with instructions that they
should be planted beside water
and the double blossom trees
beside roads," Col. Cosby said.
"I believe they felt the two types
of trees would look better in
these surroundings. so we car
ried out their plans.
II still have a copy of the
letter wrote Mayor Yukio after
we had completed the job. In it
I said the trees would add a
beautiful sight to the park and
in a few years it would become
one of Washington's most noted
places. didn't realize then
what an accurate prophet I
was"
Col. Cosby came to Washing
ton in 1905 from a tour of duty
in the Philippines. His initial
job with the engineers here was
to complete the installation of

for salaried employees has been
$131.25 a quarter. This will be
reduced to $126.
Ford, in its announcement Of
the reduction, pointed out that
hourly paid employees gained by
reason of the Governments de-
lay in publishing Bureau Of Labor
Statistics index.
Employees actually draw an
extra cent an hour for nearly six
weeks because the BIS index was
published late" the company
said.
Harvester Cuts Announced.
Yesterday, the international
Harvester Co., in Chicago, also
announced a 1-cent-an-hour pay
decrease, based on the "old
style" cost of living index. The
decrease, to be effective Monday,
covers $4,000 employees at Is
plants in Illinois, Kentucky, In
diana, Tennessee and Ohio.
That index had been sched-
uled to die the first of this year
but was "reactivated" by Presi-
dent Eisenhower. Because it was
on the verge of expiration it was
not completely kept up to date.
AS a result the January IS figure
came out six weeks late.

Col. Cosby Recalls Selection
OF Setting for Cherry Trees
Supervised Planting
At Site Converted
From 'Mudhole'
By Briun Bell. Jr.

West Potomac Park wouldn't
be the site of the Cherry Blossom
Festival this week end if it
hadn't been for Col. Spencer
Cosby.
Col. Cosby, 85-year-old retired
Army colonel, made the decision
to plant the trees where they are
now and supervised the job in
1912. Then Col. Cosby was Pres
ident Taft's military, aide and
also the superintendent OF public
buildings and grounds.
Still very active, Col. Cosby;
who lives at 2O25 @ street NV,
likes to visit Potomac Park in
cherry blossom season. It has
changed quite a bit since Col.
Cosby supervised the planting
of the japanese trees.
Potomac Park had recently
been filled in but was still little
more than mudhole in 1909"
Col. Cosby recalls. President
Taft called me in and showed me
letter from the Mayor of Tokyo,
who was planning to send Mrs.
Taft 1000 Japanese cherry trees
as gift for the City of Wash
ington.
Has Answer to "Where?"
'"The President said: Where
will We put all those trees?'
Il was Engineer Commissioner
just before the President made
me his aide and I had become
very much interested in the
reclamation of Potomac Park.
I told the President I had just
the place for the trees"
However, it was three years
before the japanese gifts could
be planted in Washington. Mayor
Osaki Yuklo sent over the 1000
trees in 1910, but the Agriculture
Department inspector in Seattle
found that 1895 were diseased
with germs unknown to this
country.
Col. Cosby explained to the
Japanese Ambassador why we
couldn't allow the trees to stay
in this country and wrote a let
ter to Mayor Yukio for Presi-
dent Taft. It seems the japanese
had picked their oldest and most
perfectly shaped treeS-natural-

ington its first mud-free water.
Reclaimed Flats.
Later Col. Cosby supervised
the dredging of the fats, as
they were called then, to re-
claim the land that is now Hams
Point, East Potomac Park and
the Lincoln Memorial grounds.
II was secretary of the Lincoln
Memorial Committee in 1912 and
when our group proposed the
present site of the memorial we
had a hard time selling Congress
on the idea," Col. Cosby remem-
bers. Joe Cannon, Speaker of
the House, said he would never
approve of placing a memorial
to such a great man in the
middle of a swamp where no one
could get to it.
1--WE finally hired famous
French artist to make a drawing
of how the memorial would look
when our complete plans had
been carried out. That convinced
Cannon.

Experts from forestry depart

keeping the tree fresh after you

run your hand over the boughs
to see if the needles feel moist.
If they're already dry, the tree
is probably too old to absorb
