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.

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
DISPLACED PERSONS
The Omaha Citizens Com
mittee on Displaced Persons
met April 6th, to review de
velopments on the Wylie Bill,
S.2242, which is now on the
floor of the Senate for debate
and action.
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.
When the famous Czech
leader, Jan Masaryck, applied
