YELLOW RICE.

YELLOW RICE.
SPILLED MILK.
BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES.
MRS. D. A. c.. Seat
Pleasant, Md
The yellow rice one reader
asked about was no doubt
made with saffron, in Spanish
"azafran." It can be bought
in Spanish food stores or in
one Of the department stores
which has a fancy foods de-
partment. You pour a little
boiling water over a pinch Of
the saffron crumbled in a cup
and use the resulting infusion
to flavor and color the. rice.
There are many recipes for
yellow rice. A simple way to
make it Is as follows: Fry some
small pieces of bacon until
crisp, pour off all but q few
tablespoons of the fat, remove
the bacon, add some chopped
onion and garlic and fry until
tender. Wash rice and add to
the onion with the bacon and
two cups of boiling water for
each cup of rice. Add the SAT-
from "tea" and stir with fork
until mixed. Cook covered
over very low heat until liquid
is absorbed and rice is tender,
stirring occasionally to pre-
vent too much sticking. This
is a sort of basic recipe, capa-
BILE of infinite variations. Ham,
chicken, shrimp, ETC., may
be added. A few pepper corns
add a tang. Green peppers
and pimentos may be used.
Some readers have asked
about how to keep children
from spilling milk at the table.
We had no spilled milk since
we started serving it to the
small fry in "old fashioned"
glasses, The heavy bottoms
and low, squat shape make
these glasses much less likely
to tip over than ordinary
water tumblerS.
Can some reader give me a
recipe for butterscotch or
brown sugar cookies that will
turn out soft and rather waxy.
rather than thin and crisp?
I used to buy some from a
bakery years ago, and have
never been able to figure out
how they were made.

a glass or porcelain jar, cover
it with a small piece of wax

Gen. Eisenhower then pro-

The President said that SO
far he had done no trout fishing
himself, but has been "daubing
and messing around" with his
oil paints. He is at work on a

The President has been pass
ing up the trout stream because
of a sore elbow which, reporters
had been told by his aides, de-
veloped when he f1shed the South

weeks ago.
But the President set the rec
ord straight on that today. He
said he bruised the elbow by
humping it in the White House,
before he left Washington. I'm
not fretting about it and I'm not
doing anything about it, except
that they have put some heat
on 1t a couple of times" Gen.
Eisenhower said.

Thing Held Answer
To Tank Problem
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, Aug. 29.-The De-
troit arsenal is producing a new
series of combat vehicles includ-
ing THE Thing" a mobile
weapon that repeatedly packs
more f1repower than any tank
now in production.
The weapon, designed to fill
the need for a tank which can
combat the overwhelming num-
berS of Russian tanks known to
exist, is classified as top secret.
The Army required a weapon
with terrific f1repower, a vehicle
that must be semi-expandable
and can be produced cheaply
on a mass basis.
1.-The Thing" officially named
"Ontos," is expected to be the
answer to these needs. 1t carries
from one to six 105-mm. recoil-
less guns and is mounted on very
light chassis with a new type
track.
Arsenal Tank Section Chief
Daniel F. Smith gave no details,
but said it is light enough to be
carried BY big transport aircraft.

Virginia's most accomplished ap-

were among 5000 persons who
turned out today for the annual
picnic given by Senator Byrd.
1t was a politicians field day.
A lot of the guests were more
interested in "plums" than
apples.
The Senator, after a two
week vacation in the Canadian
Rockies, wore a cherubic smile
and had a twinkle in his eye
when he said:
I'VE don't indulge in politics
at these meetingS-except on the

Bethesda Children
Enjoy Neighborhood
Swimming Pool
Bv chorIes G. Brooks

Montgomery County has an
unofficial swimming pool, pro-
tected by jealous parents; every
group of young teen-agers and
the police.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Read,
1903 Elm street, Bethesda,
bought their home two years ago
and found they had purchased
Just half of a swimming pool.
Shortly afterward, the house
next door was for sale and the
Reads talked Mr.. and Mrs. David
c. Williams into settling there.
Both families love children and
now at least lis neighborhood
kids now spend hours each day
Monday through Friday
Who originally built the pool,
nobody seems to know. But,
rumor has it that the previous
owners-it was constructed half
on the Read property and half
on the Williams backyard-had
a party one night and started
digging They didn't get far. but
a few months later the hole
seemed so ugly that they had a
contractor finish the job.
Mrs. Read, who has a child,
works. So does Mrs. Williams.
But they didn't have the heart
to restrict local children to
swimming only when they are
home.
So they hired Merideth
Sonny" Crawford, IA, of 326
High street, Bethesda, who is
ninth grade student at the Le-
land Junior High School, to be
a full-time lifeguard.
Twelve children learned to
swim in the pool this year.
It's one Of the few real COM
munity projects in the District
metropolitan area, and last sum-
nler so children used the pool.
Yesterday the Reads and the
Williams staged the first annual
Elm Street Aquatic Show and
Social. There were over 60 chill
dren 8 years old through is, and
over 10 adults. Nearly every
parent carried camera.
Inner-tube floating, swimming,
diving and racing contests ruled
the day to the tune of plenty
lemonade and root beer.
The enterprise, to which 80
families contribute an annual
SO, is recognized by the county,
too. Last year, it won second
prize in the Montgomery County
Playground Contest. This year,
Mrs. Read hopes. it will win first
prize.
