This Black Magic Chocolate Cake & Is Made by Do uble Boiler Method HERE'S the most beautiful choco late cake, a real dream of a cake. It’s easy to make and deli cious, with a fine, tender grain assured by the use of cake flour. It is economical, too. What more could anybody want? Do you ever make notes on your recipes? Note number one for this Black Magic Chocolate Cake should be this: Notice that the recipe says melted chocolate and shortening should be cool before sugar is add ed: that means really cool. Choco late and shortening are melted in a bowl over hot* water to begin with; and the cake is mixed in the Bame bowl. Second, the recipe say3 add 1 cup milk, then it says add 2 cups cake flour. Add all the milk at once if you want to, but add the delicate cake flour about a third at a time, as you usually do. The third thing to note is this: you will find that this cake, right out of the cake tin. fresh as a daisy, is light as down. This means that the frosting used should be a deli cate light one. But after the first day, don't think this cake isn’t still perfection. A little time to ripen and mellow and it’s moist and rich, quite the best chocolate cake you've lever baked. You won’t have any frosting wor ries if you use a new instant frost ing that needs to be mixed only with hot tap water. One 4-1/2 ounce package makes enough for top and sides of a layer.

It was reported that Senat ors Ferguson, Cooper, Morse, Saltonstall, Smith and Mc Grath had introduced a num ber of amendments. Five of these amendments are gener ally in line with the suggest ions made by religious, civic, welfare and other organiza tions supporting adequate Displaced Persons legislation. The local committee is urg ing our senators to support the following five amendments and state that others interest ed in this matter should im mediately wire to urge their support. 1. To increase the number of Displaced Persons to be admitted to 200,000. 2. To change terminal date at which a person could be considered a D.P. from De cember 22, 1945, to April 21, 1947. 3. To eliminate provision that 50 percent of D.P.s should be those whose place of or igin or country of nationality has been annexed by a foreign power. 4. To eliminate agricultur ist preference entirely. 5. To give the commission established by the bill broader authority to administer and coordinate selection, transpor tation and settlement in the United States of the D. P.s to be admitted. These are powers essential to carry out the pro gram. President Warren Harding, the nation’s first “business man” President, left an estate of $930,444.54.
