HALLOWEEN TRICKS FOR OCTOBER’S FAVORITE PARTY
(See Recipes Below.)
WITCHES* NIGHT OCT
Spooks and fun while the goblins,
black cats and ghosts make merry—
isn't that an in
spiration to have
> one grand, merry
party before the
winter sets in?
Come, let’s plan,
stew and brew
and set the
witches’ cauldron
boiling and bub
bling!
You'll need hearty sandwiches,
plentiful and hot since the weath
er's slightly nipped with frost. Of
course you'll have cider and dough
nuts because they’re wedded togeth
er and traditional. To top it off,
have a witches’ cake, a chocolaty,
honest - to - goodness devil's food,
moist and crumbly, and perhaps one
of those pumpkin shaped molds of
ice cream, or at least orange ice,
to carry out October’s orange and
black color scheme.
The party starts as sooA as the
invitations are sent out These can
be pumpkin, black cat or cauldron
shaped, made double with the invi
tation written on the inside. Send
them early so your guests won’t
make other plans. The more, the
merrier.
Twirl some streamers of orange
and black crepe paper around the
room, bring out the frayed straw
hats, checked shirts, and grand
mother’s costumes from that trunk
in the attic. All set? Here we go:
'Sandwiches.
These can be made on the buffet
or at the table if you have a sand
wich toaster. If made in the kitchen
use the broiler. Have assorted
bread, butter, place cheese on first
layer, then another slice of buttered
, bread, then a slice of ham, and top
with a slice of bread. Toast, cut in
three, and fasten with toothpicks.
To bewitch your family and guests
completely serve them a cake with
that agreeable
melt - in - your -
mouth quality.
Measure the in
gredients careful
ly so you’ll attain
that feathery
lightness so es- -
sential to a good
cake. After the icing is spread on
the cake, make decorations with
melted chocolate.
•Witches’ Cake.
(Devil’s Food)
2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons double acting baking
powder

V4 teaspoon salt

gether three times. Cream butter
thoroughly, add sugar, and cream
LYNN SAYS:
A Halloween party can be a
success without the least fuss.
First of all, decorations and ta
ble settings don’t have to be
letter perfect, for you can have
the most fun in the midst of the
basement or barn decorated with
sheaves of cornstalk, pumpkin
faces, rakes, hoes and goblins
made of sheets.
For your table use a large
piece of burlap or cotton sacks
sewed together and dyed scarlet
or gold. A centerpiece of pump
kin with candles inside the hol
low or fruit and burnished au
tumn leaves will bring cheers.
Write fortunes and place them
in apples or nuts. Play pin the
tail on the cat. Bob for apples.
Have target practice with bean
shooters. Dance the Virginia Reel
• and other square dances if your
floor can stand it—all amid plenty
of black and orange crepe paper.
Halloween's the time for all this
noisy fun.

NEW YORK.—During his 16 years
in the house. Representative
Lindsay Warren of North Carolina
used to lie back in his chair with his
eyes closed,
Deceptively Sleepy seemingly
Eyed, Warren la asleep. But
Alert oa Watchdog ^.“^en
he snapped into action, his mates
noted that he had missed nothing of
even the most complicated goings
on. To them he was known as
“The Fox.”
Similarly, not much has been
heard of him since he became comp
troller general two years ago, but
here he is suddenly in action with
a brief against the National Youth
administration, accusing it of play
ing politics to keep up its member
ship rolls and get appropriations.
Characteristically, he goes into de
tails.
Bulky, bull-necked, pompa
doured and of a general leathery
makeup, Mr. Warren liked to go

or Kitty Hawk. He didn't want
to be bothered with this comp

pays $10,000 a year for IS years.
His predecessor, the penny-pinch
ing John Raymond McCarl, who
once nicked a pullman berth
Item on General Pershing’s ex
pense account, was known as
"the watch dog of the treasury.”
Mr. Warren didn't want to be
a watch dog, and after Mr. Mc
Carl quit, in 1936, President
Roosevelt offered Mr. Warren
the job three times before he
took it.
One of his three children, Lindsay
Jr., aged 16, is ailing. The impor
tance of getting the best medical
care for the boy, and his desire for
a permanent home is said to have
induced him to accept. He had been
one of the most popular men in
congress, and watch dogs aren't al
together popular.

than almost any in the federal

been regarded as one of the ablest

In the latter instance the French

‘ Old Baron Constantin von

Csech region, liked to shoot wild

It was in 1938, when the Gestapo
took on the activities of the “Inter

He said: “We are aware that the
criminal activities of the world can
only be fought internationally.” It
was reported at the time that in

EGG SHORTAGE
IS THREATENED
More Laying Hens Needed
To Meet Demand.
By LESLIE M. BLACK
(Extension Poultryman, New Jersey
College of Agriculture,
Rutgers University.)
Keep your pullets and turn them
into laying hens instead of putting
them on the market thereby provid
ing more eggs for Uncle Sam’s
food-for-defense program and aid
ing your own income.
There’s no definite egg shortage
now but there may be in the future
unless egg production is increased.
People are eating more eggs at
home, the army needs lots of eggs,
and large quantities are scheduled
for shipment overseas. The gov
ernment recently asked poultry pro
ducers to increase egg production
10,000,000 cases during a 15-month
period ending next summer; and
they have responded, but latei
figures indicate the increase will fall
short of that figure.
We know that we can produce all
the eggs needed in the food-for-de
fense program. It’s just a matter
of having plenty of laying hens and
taking care of them properly.
Eggs are one of the best foods,
and no one should eliminate them
from one’s diet because of shortage.
On the average, each person in the
United States uses 26 dozen eggs a
year. This average should be main
tained along with supplies for the
army and Britain.
A recent United States depart
ment of agriculture report shows
that about 19 per cent more chicks
have been hatched since January 1
than a year ago, but the increase
in numbers of young chicks on
farms on June 1 was disappointing.
This would indicate that many pul
lets are being sold as meat along
with cockerels for the broiler mar
ket. *
The egg-feed price ratio is at
tractive to the poultry producer now,
and the government has announced
that a favorable ratio will be main
tained. It looks like this was the
year to fill all available poultry
houses with well-matured laying pul
lets.
A special effort should be made
to withhold all well-developed pul
lets from slaughter. The market
or poultry meat can be fully sup
plied from the cockerels out of this
year's hatch because prices will be
better if the broiler market is not
overloaded.
To Prevent Fuel Waste
Adjust Oil Burner Now
Owners of household oil burn
ers can avoid unnecessary ex
pense and conserve fuel this win
ter by having burner flames prop
erly adjusted with a flue gas
analyzer.
With his flue gas analyzer, a
service man can adjust a flame
for the most efficient use of fuel.
Homeowners, however, are
warned against trying to adjust
the flames of their oil burners
themselves. Oil companies and
furnace representatives can sup
ply trained men for the job.
The majority of the country’s
2,000,000 house-heating oil burn
ers are east of the Alleghenies,
according to the U. S. department
of agriculture. Use of a flue gas
analyzer can help materially in
conserving oil, which is particu
larly important in the region
faced with a shortage.
Experiment in Use
Of Dried Vegetables
BERKELEY. — Dried vegetables
will soon be a part of every army
cook’s larder, if experiments carried
out by the fruit products division of
the University of California college
of agriculture are any indication.
The division began investigating
methods of dehydrating vegetables
for army use more than a year ago
at the suggestion of the quartermas
ter corps. Dr. W. V. Cruess, head
of the division, reported today that
the methods developed have been
very successful in drying the vegeta
bles and still retaining their color,
flavor, and cooking quality.
The secret of success, said Dr.
Cruess, was found to lie in thorough
ly scalding the raw vegetables in
steam to precook them and destroy
enzymes responsible for undesirable
changes in flavor, color, odor and
texture. Very thorough drying was
found to be essential to preparing
vegetables that will keep well.
Farm Hill Land
One of the big advantages of farm
ing hill land on the contour is the
amount of water that is saved for
soaking into the ground. During an
eight-year period at a government
soil erosion station in southwestern
Iowa, an area listed on the contour
lost only 2.7 inches of water a year,
while a similar slope area farmed
up and down hill lost 19 inches of
rainfall. In a drouth year, especial
ly, such differences are very signifi
cant.

going through it are not allowed
to pass each other in motion be
