RFAD lVLirll/ i Says Eight Years Is Too Long This is for teachers. Those about to become teachers, or un decided, or otherwise interested may listen in, of course. President Benjamin F. Wright of Smith College says it takes too long for the average tea$her to earn his doctor of philosophy degree. Often eight years, he says. And by the time the goal is crossed the teaching by the teacher -thereafter can be im paired. Certainly as to its insp’ra tional quality, one might think. Dr. Wright implies the degree re quirements are at fault. Three to four years of writing and research beyond the bachelor's degree are enough, he thinks. Something else is at fault, too. As a rule teachers who spend long years working toward the Ph.D do so through excessive demands of advisors and examing commit-, Eggn°g Tarts For The Holidays Based On Seasonal Milk Product By using commercially prepared eggnog as the base of chiffon tarts or pie, the preparation of a beautiful holiday dessert is prac tically done when started. The milk and egg mixture is dairy assembled. To create the pie filling, unflavored gelatine, sugar and ealt 8-e added to the bottled eggnog. Then whipped cream . . . for smooth richness . . . and flavorings are folded in. Finally diced ding peaches go in to golden-fleck the chiffon filling, and peach slices are arranged in a poinsettia design to trim each tart. Unflavorcd gelatine captures the air beaten into the whipped cream. That's why this eggnog filling is velvety smooth and fight, to the tip of the tongue. Flavor with vanilla and almond extracts or an equal amount of rim or sherry flavoring. Tart shells or a 9-inch baked pie crust hold the filling And if a naclrnircd nn«trv errtet til used, ail inoTedSenta for this modem holiday dessert will be pantry shell and refrigerator bandy.

During this period the flavor mellows and moisture in fruits and cake equalize so that it is easy to cut. This recipe makes two cakes, a round one and a loaf. The cakes are rich and delicious with lots of candied fruits, dried fruits, nuts, a bit of canned pineapple and a touch of Sherry wine. Here’s how we like to store this delicious fruit cake. Remove baking papers from cooled cakes and wrap in cloth moistened in California dessert wine. Then wrap again in waxed paper or aluminum foil. Place in covered metal container. Occasionally (about once a week), sprinkle several tablespoons of wine over cloth to keep slightly moist. Before wrapping as a gift, glaze and decorate. To glaze, boil com syrup a few seconds and brush on the cake. Decorate with dried fruit and almonds.

Remove pits from prunes, and cook in same syrup for 10 minutes. Drain on wire rack. Cream shorten ing and remaining 1 cup sugar together thoroughly. Beat in eggs one at a time. Reserve % cup flour for fruits. Sift remaining flour with baking powder and salt. Blend into creamed mixture. Stir in plumped raisins.

Turn into 8-inch tube pan and small loaf pan (about 814 x 414 x 214-inchcs) which have been lined with 2 thicknesses greased brown paper. Bake in slow oven (300* F.) with shallow pan of hot water on floor of oven. Tube pan will require about 314 hours, loaf pan about 3 hours. Remove cakes to wire rack to cool,, but . do not remove paper. Remove baking paper before wrapping in wine soaked cloth and then in waxed paper or foil. Weighs about 6 pounds. Old Door Becomes Table AN OLD door may be converted into a sturdy play table for youngsters. First select some old water or gas pipes that will serve as legs of the right height for the young- ‘ sters who will use the table. Fit tings that screw on the door, at the comers, and into which the threaded end of the pipes will fit can be obtained at a hardware store. Similar fittings will pro tect the floor. All hardware on the door should be removed. Provide a smooth, splinter-free surface by attaching a panel of Masonite tk' Tempered Presd wood with X" brads. Protect the children’s fingers further by ap plying strips of this material to all edges. By putting on the strips first, the top panel will cover the edges and make a neat job. The legs may be painted, and the new table top likewise primed and painted or given three coats of waterproof varnish. With a table like this, children can have fun, Indoors or out, for years, as the sturdy construction and dur able surface will allow all sorts of rough treatment. As the chil dren grow, the table can grow with them—simply by increasing the length of the pipe legs. World Famous Quebec Bridge “Spot" Painted IF that cottage of youra needs a little "touching up," and you And that 12 quarts of paint will do the Job. you can well understand what the painters had to contend with when faced with “spot" painting the world-famous Quebec bridge, which spans the mighty St. Lawrence River, seven miles above Quebec City, this autumn. To "spot" paint the giant struc ture, one of the largest cantilever bridges in the world, painters of the Canadian National Railways, which maintain the bridge for the owners, the Canadian Government, used more than 6.000 quarU of paint; some red lead and the rest "Quebec Bridge Green" The Quebec Bridge, hailed aa the "eighth wonder of the world” aftor Its completion In 1918, Is 3,239 feet long. It consists of 66.000 tons of steel and uncounted tons of con crete. It connects the north and south shores of Quebec Province; the town of Charny on the south shore and the Quebec City suburbs of Blllery and Ste. Foy on the north. Used by the Montreal-Quebec trains of the Canadian National, the big bridge also has a 36-foot vehicular roadway. The Central suspended span of the Quebec Bridge Is 640 feet long while the ean»llev«r arms measure 1,160 i feet and the anchorage arms 1,039 The Quebec Bridge spans the St. Lawrence River with some 66,000 tens of steel. feet. It* elevation above the highest tides known to move from the At lantic up the St. Lawrence is 150 feet which leaves quite sufficient navigation space for the largest of ocean liners. The highest point of ' the bridge above high water Is 343 1 feet.
