African Chiefs Take Case
To Great White Mother
By The Assoeiossd j Press

LONDON. Jan. 3.-Tribal chiefs
of Nyasaland, sultry British pro-
tectorate in the heart of Africa,
converged on London today to ap-
peal to the great white mother"
Queen Elizabeth II. in their fight
against federation.
The chiefs are opposed to a plan
which would unite their homeland
with North and South Rhodesia.
They said they were setting I'D a
protest meeting practically on the
doorstep Of the official federation
conference now under way here.
The tribal chiefs have been boy
cotting the official conference.
They insist the proposed fedora
ton would wipe out all hope Of
eventual self-goyernment for NY
ashland Africans and result in
stead in greater white domination.
A spokesman for the tribal
chiefs said Nyasaland had been
made a British protectorate by
Queen Victoria in 1892 with the
consent and desire of the chiefs
and people" and that Queen
Elizabeth now would be asked to
allow no change without taking
into account the wishes Of the
territory's people.
The protectorate now has g.
$4,000 Africans and 1000 white
Europeans.

yolks. u cup cooked cranberry
sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon
juice. / tablespoon orange rind.

Handkerchief
History

In the beginning, handker-
chiefs were head-coverings. Saw
age races wove small mats of
grasses and wore these to ward
OF sun and wipe perspiration
from the brow. The first hand
kerchiefs for the face alone were
used in the service Of religion
priests carried small pieces of
silk tissue called ''facials," and
were the only people allowed to
have them.
In 1000, handkerchiefs were
the height of fashion. The In
fanta Maria Theresa carried a
handkerchief Of generous size
where it could be seen and adj
mired. and ladies of high estate
carried kerchiefs of all sizes and
shapes.
In the 18th century, prints de-
picting historical events and
places of interest became popu-
lar. India prints were produced
for export to the Western world,
using wooden blocks and vege-
table dyes. Political views were
aired by means of colored prints
on large kerchiefs.
History has preserved the per-
sonal habits of famous rulers.
The Empress Josephine hid her
poor teeth by holding up q pretty
hanky. And Napoleon and Queen
Victoria, both rulers of empires,
favored elaborate ernbroideries
Handkerchiefs have survived
to this day, as souvenirs and
gifts, expressing sentiments and
news. sensitive to style and de-
sign trends of their times. They
are now emerging again as femi-

WHAT KIND OF DOG?

WHAT KIND OF DOG?
MRS. c. B. D., Cheuy Chase, Md
Problem Isl think my hus-
band will be going to Korea
sometime in the near future
and our two boys and I want
to get a dog. (Not that we
think a dog can take the place
of a father, or husband! But
we do think said dog can be
much company and the train
ing and so on will help to
keep us busy enough so that
we won't have as much time
to know how lonely we really
are.)
At one time we had a very
nice friend in a neighbor's
dachsund-the large type.
He was a very intelligent dog,
full of affection and was beau
tifully trained. It was inter-
esting. too, to see how he felt
differently toward each mem
Der of the family, Then he
was run over and killed, and
though he wasn't our dog it
is still a big loss.
Recently our younger son
has made friends with a boxer
and again the family finds
this new friend fascinatingl
The pug-nose. wrinkled brow.
and ferocious look combined
with the friendly disposition
we find very interesting.
So now we're torn between
getting a dachShund and a
boxer. think having a dog
with the looks the boxer has
would certainly be a protec-
ton, but / do want a house,
dog, and it seems a dachshund
would be easier during the
training period when you'd
be teaching good manners.
= The boxer is so darned big
he could knock things over
before you could say "No!"
even though he might end up
being just as good later.
There's also the fact that I
should imagine a dog that
size would eat quite a lot
more than a dachshund.
So could ! please hear from
owners of each breed as to the
good points, and bad points.
For times when our teen-agers
are out I'd like an affectionate
companion to keep me COM
pany, and not a pup which
merely tolerated me, as did
the dachshund, till the "men
folks got home!
Am also interested in hav-
ing a really well-trained dog
and wonder if any one knows
where you, and your dog, can
learn together. Things like
having a dog learn to walk on
a leash without tangling up
'roun6 your legs: learning
not to Jump on you: how to
teach them properly without
breaking their spirit (the
dachshund friend had the
loveliest pride and dignity. but
was beautifully obedient). a
We don't care about fancy
pedigrees though we do want
all boxer, or all dachShund.
We won't be buying till after
summer vacation, but do
want to be saving toward this
purchase and getting all plans
laid so that we can get a dog
!, as soon after we get back as
possible, and also be ready
for our schooling--the dogs
and ours!

JAMES RIVER WAFFLES.
mrs. S. E. L., EdgeDoter, Md
This is in answer to the lady
requesting a recipe for waf-
fles. It is a very old Southern
recipe and to me it is the best.
Two cups flour, u teaspoon
salt, 2 teaspoons baking pow
der, 3 eggs at room tempera-
ture. 2 cups sour milk at room
temperature, 6 tablespoons
melted fat, l teaspoon soda.
Separate eggs and beat yolks
until light. Add one cup sour
milk. Sift together dry in
gradients. Add to yolk mix
ture and beat. Add other cup
sour milk and beat again. Add
fat melted. Fold in stiff1y
beaten egg whites. Serves
about 6.
Since you are serving it for
a party this is convenient be-
cause it is even better if you
keep batter in refrigerator
several hours before baking.
I also use a readymix to make
waff1es and they resemble
restaurant waffles and are
very quick to make.

damaging statements, he had to
be held" he said.
Mr.. Fletcher's chronological
account Of Mr.. Burkett's deten-
tion.. backed by testimony of
others, showed that Mrs. Bur-
kett, contrary to some early re-
ports, was kept advised of her
husbands whereabouts except
when he was taken to Hagers-
town for a lie-detector test April
II, the day after his arrest.
At that time she was told he
was being taken out Of the COM
munity for a day.

Upon his return the next day,
she was informed he was being
detained at the county infirmary
and she could visit him there.
which she did.
At no time during the six days
and seven nights he was held did
he ask for an attorney, Mr..
Fletcher said. He said Mr.. Bur-
kett had been cooperative and
had been interrogated with his
full knowledge, permission and
consent"

Gil Committees visit here was
the opening session in its in
