-<k I Woman's BB 1 World '^ By Mair M. Morgan Takes Son to Ja3 Consider These Points Personal daintiness is one of the first requisites of immaculate groom- ing. Consider your whole body and your clothes, as woU as your face and fig- ure, when you plan a winter beauty routine. Woollen frocks and steam heated rooms cause quite a lot of ex- cess perspiration and you should bear that in mind constantly. Allow enough tims for a daily bath, of course, and plan to use a good deodorant under your arms at least twice a week. Woollen clothes need to be dry- cleaned frequently, and they should he aired thoroughly several times be- tween cleanings. Hang them in the sun, wrong side out, and leave them for a few hours. Be sure that each dress has shields in It. This is important no matter how persistently you use deodorants. Remember to clean the shields each time you clean the dress, and it's not a bad Idea to clean shields oftener than that. Dip them in a little house- hold ammonia and hang them in the sun to dry. Fur collars need attention, too. You can't keep your neck clean if you wear the same fur collar all winter without cleaning it at least once every two weeks. A rough bath towel and a bit of cleaning fluid will clean any fur collar and won't hurt the fur a bit. Neck scarfs, either wool or silk ones, should be washed or dry clean- ed often. In other words, be just as fastidious about your outer garments as you are about the lingerie which you wear next to your skin. To Preserve Hose Always wash new stockings before wearing them. The heat of the foot acting upon the unwashed silk may cause it to ladder at once. This first washing strengthens the stockings jreatly. Vwo Weil-Balanced Interesting Menus Nowadays our menus reveal a ten- aency to drift away from the old-fas- hioned heavy meals with their hearty meats and rich desserts. Our menus ire made with attention to a balanced diet and our choice of foods is not limited to season. The following dinner menus are balanced: Menu No. 1 Braised calf's liver, stuffed baked tomatoes, i'arker House rolls, jellied sabbage-salad, peach up-side-down sake, milk, coffee. Braise the liver with carrots and onions. The tomatoes are stuffed with a mixture of cooked macaroni, tomato pulp and cheese. The combination provides a pleasing contrast \vith the rather highly seasoned liver. A prepared lemon or pineapple jelly powder may be used with the cabbage for the salad. Threads of green and red sweet peppers add color if scat- tered tlirough the mould. Fresh or canned peaches are used for tbe dessert. Menu No. 2 Stewed chicken in rice border, creamed onions, tomato and lettuce talad, mint ice cream with chocolate rauce, crisp cookies, milk, coffee. Tender young chickens are disjoin t- ei and simmered gently until tender. One cup of chicken stock is combined With. 1 cup cream and the liquid is thickeued with 1 tablespoon flour rub- bed to a smooth paste with 1 table- spoon butter. This is brought to the boiling point and poured over the chicken arranged in a border of steam- ed rice. Cut head lettuce in slices and ar- rangre with alternating slices of peeled tomatoes. Serve with French dressing. To make the mint ice cream crush peppermint stick candy and add to any plain ice cream recipe, omitting the sugar. Use one-halt pound candy to a Quart of ice cream. Use Rmall onions and simmer them uncovered until tender. Then add to a weli seasoned white sauce. Tiny onions left whole and served this way are very inviting. Caramelized Onions With a winter of the old-fashioned variety, aolld, good food is called for. and what better than the appetizing health-giving onion. Try this recipe. It 1b sure to be a success with every member of the family: e9e5SS-!!l5S5!!5555--55l-i!---B"i""â„¢-" Peel small onions, prick with tines of fork at top and bottom, parboil un- til nearly done. Drain, place in frying pan, dot and sprinkle with equal mea- sures of butter and sugar. Cook slow- ly, turning the onions often until eaoh one is carmelized. Hot Potato Salad To make hot potato salad you will want some medium-siza potatoes, which should be boiled in their skins in the ordinary way. When cooked, peel and let them get cool; then, with a sharp knife, cut them in thin and even slices. This salad is served in tbe dish In which it is cooked. Brush the bottom slightly with salad oil before putting in the potatoes; chop very finely some parsley, chives, or the green part of some spring onions; sprinkle them with seasoning and a pinch of sugar over the potatoes. Mix some best salad oil with Tara- gon and wine vinegar; heat it, and when almost at boiling point, pour it over the potatoes. Cover the dish with a greased paper and put it in a moderate oven until the potatoes are really hot. Should you make this salad in the winter, chopped celery in place of the onion is a delightful flavor. The amount of oil and so on you will need depends upon how many pota- toes you have. The vinegar is used in equal proportions of both kinds. A Heart Dinner What can we have for dinner that is nourishing, appetizing, and won't necessitate any left-overs? This is a question that often arises. A stuffed heart is the answer. Wash the heart in warm salted water, then gently boil for one hour. Make a forcemeat with four table- spoons breadcrumbs, two tablespoons shredded suet, a dessertspoon mixed herbs, a small chopped onion, salt and pepper. Bind together with a beaten egg. Stuff the heart with the forcemeat, stitch the opening, and rub over with seasoned flour. Place the heart in a baking tin, smear with dripping, then bake in a moderate oven for % hour, keeping it well basted. An Economical Sponge Cake If you feel you would like a change in cakes from the rich Christmas fare here is a sponge cake that is delicate and white yet is simply made from only three eggs. Hot Milk Sponge Cake Measure 1 cup sifted cake flour. Add 1 teasjpoon baking powder and sift to- gether three times. Beat three eggs until very thick and light and nearly white. Add 1 cup sugar, gradually, beating constantly. Add t teaspoons lemon juice. Fold in ttour. alternately with 6 tablespoons hot milk, mixing quickly until batter is smooth. Bake at once in ungreased tube pan iu mod- erate oven (3Sl) deg. F.) 15 minutes. Remove from oven and invert pan for 1 hour or until cold.

Polite Robbers Enjoy Breakfast Tie Up CciIIers and Regale Themselves with Coffee New York. â€" This is a tale of a strange "bandit" breakfast party which lasted an hour and a half. Three polite bandits had just tied the last knois in the twine which firmly bound Mrs. Ramona Santos, her 22 year-old daughter, and four men, friends of the family, in Mrs. Santos' apartment in this city, when someone knocked at the door. Hastily pocketing the $200 in cash and tbe wrist watch they had taken from the group, one of the rob- bers opened tbe door and thrust his revolver under the nose of a laundry man. The latter dropped his buniUe of clean wash and submitted while the bandits tied his arms and legs gently but firmly. They had just deposited him with tlie six other victims when there came another knock at the door. Happily the men welcomed a grocer, tied him up, too, and unwrapped the comestibles he had brought. "Ha, coffee." said one of the men. sniffing joyfully as he seized a perco- lator and made for the stove. TUere was another knock. This time it was a fruit vendor, and he took his place, bound, with other members of the un- comfortable group in the corner. Some oranges and grapefruit he had brought were peeled and sliced. The coffee was [wured. steaming, into three cups. The radio was turned on. Breakfast was ready. While the ineu were chatting pleas- antly over their coffee and cigarettes, Miss Santos managed to inform them that the wrist watch they had taken was a gift from her dead father. It was returned, with apologies. Then, wiping the fruit juice from their fin- gers and the coffee from their lips, the bandits bade their victims adieu anu departed. . Several minutes later Mrs. Santo-i wrig.gled fn and sounded an alarm. If You Were Married to Mendelssohn's Tune New York. â€" Walter Damrosch, the conductor, is looking for husbands and wives who were married the greatest number of years ago to the strains of Mendel.saohn's famous wedding march. The four record-holding couples will be his guests at the Mendelssohn cele- bration here January 17, the proceeds of which will be given to unemployed musicians. Th« march was brought to the United States shortly after Mendels- sohn composed it in 1833. and its popu- larity was so immediate that for many years no wedding was complete with- out it. Damrosch has written words to the march which will be sung by a chorus of 1,200 voices. The celebration is to take place in Madison Square Garden. Modest Package Worth $500,000 Wrapped in Brown Paper the Famous Codex Sinedticus Arrives at British Museum Liondon. â€" A moderate-sized brown paper parcel taken by motor car to the British Museum recently repre- sented a hA'.f million dollar pur- chase by the British Government uf the Codex Sinaiticus, fourth-century Bible manuscript. Bibliophiles say that in getting the manuscript from the Soviet Govern- ment for ?5O0,000 the British Govern- ment got a bargain. Not only that, but Russia has agreed to spend Jhe purchase price in England for ma- chinery and the like. Originally the Soviet asked a total of $2,500,000 for the Codex, called the most valuable manuscript In the world's history. Arrived Christmas Conveyed to England by special courier, who arrived Christmas Eve, the manuscript remained in the strong vaults over the holidays and after a formal receipt was given the Soviet representatives the British interu.edi- ary, a noted book dealer, guarded by detectives, took the parcel by car to the Museum where a queue of sev- eral hundred awaited its arrival. The crowd was al'owed to enter the board room and witness the pre.sen- tatlon to Sir George Hill, director of the British Museum. Unwrapped, the parcel was revealed in a tin box of red and go'd, the manuscript itself being carefully shrouded in cotton wool. Dr. Bell, keeper of manu- .^cripts, later made an inspection to see that none of the pages were mlpsin.^. Placed on View The Codex was then plvced on gen- eral view in a special case in the en- trance hall, which already contained the 14th century copy of the Penta- teuch in Hebrew. As the British Museum went into the deal witli the British Govern- ment on :i 50-50 basi?, it has to raise $250,000 by public subscription. The subscriptions are already flocking in. One old lady In Scotland sent a haif- a-Crown, 60 cents, which slie said hoped would pay for a S'lngle letter in the Codex. The Codex, discovered In the mid- dle of the 19th century on Mount Sinai, came into possession of the Soviet authorities from the re'lcs of Tfar Alexander. Britain Faces New Year With Renewed Optimism Financial Prestige Restored; Buoyant Industrial Recovery Under Way â€" 'Dole Fund Again Solvent â€" Unemployment Falling London. â€" Gi-eat Britain facet the New Year in the quiet confidence of notable achievement. Scaix^ly more than two years ago she stood perilously near the edge of a financial abyss. Ready money was nxjving rapidly to foreign fields, Brit- ish credit was falling. The "dole" fund was running into debt to the tune of a million pounds a week. There were those, even, w ho predicted London had forever lost her pre- eminence in finance, that war and the aftermath of war had dealt such a blow that recovery was well-night im- possible. Since those tragic days Great Bri- tain has quietly set the world an ex- ample which foreign nations are now breathlessly endeavoring to emulate. Always slow to act, she acted with startling thoroughness. With ruth- lass axe and tax she re-established her l fiance. Her bankrupt dole fund is I now operating with a balance on hand i Favorable balances have already re- \ duced by nearly three millions the fund's old debt of £115,000,000. In- cluded in the unemployment bill now before Parliament is an amortization scheme to wipe out the remainder by fixed payment from the fund within a maximum of 40 years. FINANCES REFORMED. With extraordinary success she car- ried through the most extensive scheme of debt conversion known to financial history. She abandoned her traditional free-trade policy. She left gold; and the reaction echoed round the Seven Seas. .\t Ottawa, she con- cluded trade agreements with other nations of the British Commonwealth. With foreign countries, she made agreements in endeavor to break tlirough the bounds of rigid economic nationalisms. She has embarked on a five-year slum clearance plan. By schemes of marketing and control she is endeavoring to restore hor agri- culture to a paying basis. INDUSTRY RECOVERING. Her credit is now restored, month by month her unemplojTnent is fall- ing. At the peak, insured unemploy- etl totalled 2,851,000. They now stano at approximately 2,280,000. Th« Board of Trade index figure showi that industrial production is back to 96.7 per cent, of what it was in 1924. In the quarterly period, July-Septem- ber, 1932, it was down to 87.3. Britain is out of the morass. But she has still far to travel befure sb* attains the highlands of prosperity. New problems arise. COMPETITION GROWING. Under the impulse of cheap labor and depreciated currency, Japan is breaking into British trade even in the Crown colonies. Britain's great shipping is suffering from the compft- tition of foreign shipping assstad by state subsidies. Less and less cargo is being brought to Britain herself in British ships, and more and more in foreign ships, said Alexander Shanr, chairman, at the annual meeting of the P. and 0. "and as from year to year, the tonnage of Brilns^ shipil entering British porta declines, tbi tonnage of foreign ships enterini British ports increases...." SHIPPING IN DIFFICULTIES. For the first ten months of the yeai the net tonnage of British ships en- tering at and clearing from United Kingdom ports with cargo, comparad with 1931, has been reduced by mon than 6,000,000 tons. The tonnage o< foreign vessels entering at and clear- ing from British ports on the othei hand has gone up by over 3,700,004 tons. Compared with the same period last year the figures are: BriUsll shipping down 1,460,000 tons; foreign .â- ^hipping up 2,290,000 tons. The Council of the Chamber ol Shipping has forwarded to the Gov« ernment a report of the ehipping committee, reconunending temporary subsidies for tram ships in service or laid up. The object is to equaliz* advantages of foreign competition due to subsidies, depreciated curren- cies and lower wage costs. Belgian Army Officers See Test of Helicopter Brussels. â€" -A. machine for vertical flying successfully maintained itself for nine minutes and fifty-eight sec- onds in a recent demonstration be- fore high ranking civil and military air officials. It is the work of Nicolas Florino, a young engineer of Russian descent, who is a naturalized Belgian. He has been financed by the Belgian fund for national research. The helicopter, which looks like the skeleton of a giant insect, has two fom--bladed propellers rotated by a 2O0-horsepower engine. The machine weighs about one ton. Poison Antidote Given By Blowgun Warrior Windhoek. Namaqualand. â€" The secret of the poison antltdote of .\frlcan bushmen Is expected to be learned as a result of the wounding of a policeman's horse. Bushmen blew poisoned arrows at police who tried to arrest them for stealing cattle near Epukiro. The wounded horse was saved by the an- tidote taken from a captured bush- man. A magistrate of Gobabis was woun- ded some time ago by one of these arrows and died iu agony because no antidote was available. ANOTHER GAME At playinfl cards t feel compelled To say I've earned no glory. But, oh, the lovely hands I've held In a eonaervatory. "Pb, what is a bookworm r* â- A man who love* books, soa." "Thsn Is a man who loves â-  llshwor»>^?" Oid-Fashioned Girl Had More Intellect Than Modern Siste* Boston. â€" A real 'old fashioned girl" of the old stone age, who was smart- er than her modern sister, if you can judge by brain capacity, gave a new Idea of the origin of the huiuaa race today before the American Assocla> tion for the Advancement of Science. She was a true "Minerva" of 10,-^ 000 years ago and an Amazon as well. Her brain capacity was 1.430 cubic centimetres as against \.?M tot the average young woman of today and 1,450 for the modern man, and though only 20 years old she stood nearly six feet tall, better than the average for modern girls of the sams age. Study of this and other skeletoni of the old stone age shows that new measurements of the many bones ol ancient man now in museums may greatly clarify the mystery of ths origin of the present human race said Prof. Uerhardt von Bonin of the Cnl- verslty of llinols. Out of the old stone age, presumably, came the modern human race.
