(XocfegA,-— ■) prepared by Dally Democrat—Betty Crocker Home Service Department A DRAMATIC CAKE FOR HALLOWE’EN ALREADY the spirit of Hallowe'en ia abroad. We see it in the gay orunge and black decorations in shop windows—in the excitement of the children over their preparations for this night of ghosts and witches—and in the invitations to Hallowe'en parties that are beginning to be issued. Even though we may not have planned to do anything about Hallowe'en this year, we find ourselves wanting to celebrate in some way,—or at least add some little festive touch to any entertaining we'll be doing within a week or so of the actual day which is Hallowe'en—so let's make a Hallowe'en cake.

Naturally it's a chocolate cake : with an orange icing. But it’s more than that. —for right on top of the creamy orange icing there’s a black chocolate witch mounted on her broom stick and riding: right across the cake! It's a very | dramatic-looking cake that might well do as a centerpiece for your table—especially if you happen to have an old-fashioned high square glass cake stand. The chocolate cake itself ia an old-time tierman recipe that comes from the town of Stuttgart in the very shadow of the famous Black Forest. It contains among otner ingredients a cup of hot freshly mashed potatoes -and you know how delicious potato bread and doughnuts are. Then there's a whisper of spice and a tang of; lemon added which makes it a most distinctive and “different"! chocolate cake with lota of character back of ita delectable blending of flavors. Here is the recipe: German Potato Cake 1 cup hot freshly mashed potatoes 1 cup shortening 2 cupa sugar 3 sq. chocolate (3 os.) Grated rind 1 lemon Grated rind 1 orange l*i cups all-purpose dour or 2 cups cake flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. cinnamon % tsp. nutmeg ’i tsp. cloves % cup milk 4 eggs 1 cup coarsely ground nuts (preferably almonds) Beat hot mashed potatoes until very light. Add shortening and | beat again. Sift sugar twice. Add gradually to potato mixture and 1

Father Slays—“ Act of Mercy”

’ 1 Mrs. Repoullle and child

In what he described as an "act of mercy,” Lewis Repoullle. 37-year-old New York hospital elevator operator, chloroformed his blind and crippled 13-year-old son because "he was just like dead all the time." Mra. Repoullle, mother of five children, was near hysteria over the tragedy.

beat well. Add melted chocolate and grated lemon and orange rind. Sift the flour once before measuring. Sift flour, baking powder and spices together. Add alternately with the milk. Add well beaten egg*. Add the nuts. Pour into 2 well greased and floured 8-inch square cake pans and bake 4!> minutes in a moderate oven, 350* F. Yellow Icing fi tbsp, butter cups confectioners’ sugar tbsp, cream Grated rind of 1 orange (2 tsp.) 1% tbsp, orange juice 1 sq. chocolate (1 ox.), melted Melt butter in top of double boiler. Blend in confectioners’ sugar and cream. Leave over hot water for 15 minutes to eliminate uncooked taste. Remove from heat. Stir in orange rind and juice—adding just enough juice to make icing spread easily. Cool. Spread between layers and on sides and top of cake. You’ll want only a very thin coating of the icing between the layers. Directions for Making Chocolate Hallowe'en Witch for Top of Cake On a piece of light weight wrapping paper. 8 inches square, make an outline drawing of a witch ridmg on a broomstick. Cut out the figure and use the square piece of paper with the cut-out for a stencil. Spread butter generously over one side of the paper, and place buttered side down on top of frosted cake — pressing edges of cut-out lightly into the icing. Pour melted chocolate slowly into the cut-out opening, being especially careful not to let the chocolate run underneath the paper. Let stand 5 minutes. Remove paper with care so as not to spoil the design.

College. 111., where he was made a member of the Phi Beta Kappa national honorary scholastic fraternity and from the Northwestern School of Medicine. Mr. and Mrs. Morton have issued engraved cards announcing the wedding. The Little Flower discussion group will meet with Mrs. John Neerlng Wednesday evening at ’even-thirty o'clock. Mrs. Fred Colchin will have the paper. PAPER ON SCHOOL SYSTEMS GIVEN AT RESEARCH CLUB The Research Club met at the home of Mrs. A. J. Haney. North Second street, Monday afternoon, with Mrs. Arthur R. Holtbouse as leader. Her paper dealt with two outstanding educational systems in the country, namely the Denver Opportunity School and the Winnetka Technique system. The Denver. Colorado, school runs 12 months a year, day and evening. Its aim is to help any one who wants to learn. The curriculum, arranged by the principal. Paul Ellert. an educator of note, includes whatever useful subject from hair cutting to gold prospecting. that any ten people want to study. Enrolled In the school are 3,000 Denver citizens, ranging in age from 13 to 90 years. The school has a creed: “Unlimited faith in the capacity of

In contrast, they are alive with vividly painted panel* and open Into bright class rooms where children nil In informal groups, or work at an endleap variety of fascinating tasks. Interesting conversation and chlldren'a cheery laughter replace the hush that pervades the conventional type class room, and it Is said that nowhere are the children more happy than in Winnetka Technique. “Carlton Washburn, imbued with rare imaglnatlo nand executive ability. Is the organiser snd superintendent of the famous system, which was started In May. 1919. Hia theory Is to develop In each child those capacities that are different and creative, rather than training all children to be alike. Informality permeates the class rooms and Individualism ia developed with such well planned methods as Io teach the children their debt to society. “The Winnetka achools are not a finished product, but rather an educational laboratory In which new educational methods are being tried and results measured. While the Winnetka Technique ia too new to be measured In terms of its pupil's achievements in later life, a complete survey made of their standing in the township high school which they enter, shows Wlnetka pupils rank slightly above other children scholastically and outstandingly ahead in extra-cur-riculum activities.” Preceding Mrs. Holthouse's talk, current events were given and Mrs. Lamoille Fogle conducted the Better English lesson on pronunciation. The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Holthouse's home, with Mrs. C. R. Saylors as leader. BAPTIST WOMEN TO ATTEND MEETING
