Questions of vital importance to our domestic affairs Will be brought to the highest tribunal for final adjudication. These tests involve a floek of new laws passed by the Congress dealing with economic and social life. Until the court rules on the validly of these issues, the ' uncertainty over administrative regulations will prevail. ... " •> 'The contrast between this govern-.- ' ment and otjjer nations is no better illustrated than in President Roosevelt's peaceful fishing expedition while other world officials are having &leep>- less nights. The jingoists, who cry for war on the slightest pretext, are stilled by this situation1!? Incidentally, there is a lot of private talk as to what branch of the service would fare best in appropriations in event this nation was forced to take an aggressive stand. The Arxiy makes no secret of its concern that the Navy would have the upper hand as the President was formerly Assistant Secretary of the Navy during the World War and knows the feuds between the two service organizations. The Munitions Board which controls export licenses of war supplies is keeping petitioners on the anxious bench by an indifferent attitude. The State Department!; which favors diplomatic measures.; holds the whip over this powerful new: agency. • Echoes from President Roosevelt's "swing around the <y>untry" show that people he addressed felt the speeches} were more a defense of policies than a call to change the Constitution. At the outset of his trip, observers believed he would appeal for aid in jumping the blockade laid down by Supreme Court decisions Republicans; assume that the Ne*' Dealers are determined to win the West oh the theory that the industrial East is on the verge 6f rebellion against th<j; party now in power. A series of local elections next month will be watched as a symptom of changing political sentiments. The flood of statistical material now descending'on political camps here illustrates the old adage that statisticians seldom agree. Recent Presidential utterances about recovery are subjected to close scrutiny in Republican quarters while Democratic campaigners rush "interpretations" of tables and charts to re-enforce. White House claims. The incumbents, have; a decided advantage as data emanating from governmental sources carries a certain hallmark of authenticity sometimes lacking iir private compilations. Many officials of civic groups are torn between political factors and community needs. It is said that local commercial groups anxious to establish their towns as definitely on the up-grade are not at all adverse to exaggeration. Except for measurement of postal receipts at only 50 post offices, and these are confined to metropolitan cities, the Federal government itself possesses no accurate index of economic recovery. Returns from the limited N. R. A. survey is a few basic industries are disappointing and scattered. Business groups, suspicious as to the ultimate use of this data, are not cooperating with the skeletonized Blue Eagle seeking information on wage rates and hours. The census of business authorized as a relief project will be speeded to get what will probably be a fair picture of actual conditions. Whether the data will be analyzed in time to provide political ammunition is another problem. Because of the influence exercised by trade unions over legislative matters during the last two years, widespread interest is attached to their meeting in Atlantic City this week.

A piquancy of flavor i3 developed. which Is accomplishd in no other way. Sour cream pie Is famous. I have heard persons from several sections of the country claim It as a native dish, but the best I have ever eaten was in eastern Pennsylvania. Sour cream is always an addition to cottage cheese, whether bought from the dairy or home made from sour milk. There is a real art in making cottage cheese. You have noticed the difference yourself between one kind and another. PerhaRS the most important thing Is to make the cheese of milk which has been soured quickly, as a bitter taste will then be avoided. In griddle cakes, waffles, muffins, cakes and cookies we find that sour milk with the proper amount of soda gives a tender texture which Is delicious. Soda is always used with either sour milk or cream when It is neces sary to have the mixture rise. Because we cannot be Sure of the amount of acid in the sour milk, it Is well to use a little baking powder as well. Just don't let the milk stand too long after souring, as It Is Inclined to get bitter.

Therefore, they are endeavoring to lessen the work week presumably to a standard 30-hour week and at the same time through collective bargaining lift the workers income. Reports to the convention show that the unions expect great things from the National Labor Board in pushing bargaining in industries which have heretofore resisted organization By the unions * It is significant that the A. F. of L. places little faith in codes because of the insufficient powers of enforcing the labor provisions. The union executives have sidestepped taking a definite position regarding the revival of N. R. A. at the next congress, which does not augur well for this project.

In mod ern cooking the soda is usually sifted with the flonr to delay the rising action until the hatter of whatever Is being made Is mixed. This means that modern recipes call for less soda than the old ones, which call for mixing the soda with the milk. Molasses has s stronger acid than sour milk and we use one teaspoon of soda to the cup. ^Chocolate is slightly acid and a recipe containing chocolate may call for a seemingly larger proportion of soda. I like a chocolate cake made with soda and eohr milk, as it Is so rich In texture and dark In color. If you prefer a "red' chocolate cake, use .baking powder.

Perhaps the most successful desserts of this sort arc the mousses or parfaits which are combinations of whipped cream, or whipped cream and beaten egg whites, with varlouV fia; vorings. A mousse is, of course, a rich dessert, and It is possible to make other desserts with combinations of milk and cream. I have found that a combination of sweetened condensed milk diluted with water plus whipped cream Is as satisfactory as any recl|»e I have tried. In my own refrigerator I get good results without stirring the mixture during the freezing process. You may have better results In your own box If you stir the mixture at least once during the freezing period. It is also possible to produce gooddesserts with whipped evaporated milk to replace the cream, especially if yon use with it crushed fruit or chocolate. The milk must be heated'^nd then chilled before It is'whipped. A very little gelatin is dissolved in water and added to the hot milk. 1 have found that unless I use condensed milk *;blch Is already sweetened, powdered sugar is needed to give the d«s»#rt-fa smooth texture. Another type of frozen dessert which can be made successfully is a combl- i nation of milk, marshmallows and whipped cream. There are a number of other desserts which'can be made with the help of a refrigerator. In which fhey will set but not freeze. One of the easiest refrigerator desserts is made by spreading thin chocolate or ginger wafers with whipped cream which has been flavored with almond. They are then piled^ogether and the roll is laid on a plate and covered with whipped cream.

It Is so easy to guess, and so difficult to know that people acquire very foolish notions about matters on which they should be well informed. A guess is a leap in the dark. It Is a venture. And people who do things on ventures are not to be trusted. If you are emharking on any enterprise, large or small, be sure where you are going, how long It will take you to get there, and what the difficulties in the way may be.
