Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
SOMETIMES it's a marvel to me that mothers have any sense at all. When you consider the wall of popular sentiment that has hedged us in for so many years, it’s really amazing that w’e show any evidence of mental independence. An elderly gentleman of Covington, Ky., writes; “For a mother to be opposed to prohibition is beyond my imagination.” There, in a nutshell, you have the whole sad story of the sort of enforced state of mind from which women happily are emerging. In the opinion of the passing generation, mothers were people who clung tenaciously to certain set rules of belief. After maternity, their ideas all became second-hand. A mother was somebody who was good, naturally, and without any effort on her part, She prayed all the time without discouragement and cried secretly over the sins of her children. And unless the children were a bit bad the pretty picture was spoiled. She doted on selfsacrifice and loved being a martyr. To live up to her role, she must believe that chastity was the highest feminine virtue and shudder at the sight of a wine glass. She was surrounded by an aura of holiness and all her thoughts were pure. In other words, she was a cross between an angel and a dumbbell, and the worst possible bore, because she never by any chance thought anything out for herself. Though she may have had brains, she never was expected to use them, except for cooking. Finally, she became the inane creature that men’s sentimental imaginations made her. Frankly, that’s one thing wrong with us today. We are the victims of this sickly sentiment attached to motherhood. Children are reared badly not because mothers neglect them, but because they refuse to look facts in the face. They are afraid of the truth. It seems to me that it is as necessary for a mother to be true to her honest convictions as it is for her to pray.
MARY LOUISE HOBBS WILL BE HONORED

'William Kothe, Norman Keevers, Arthur Shea and Bernard Cuniff Jr. Chicken Creole A good way to use up the remnants of the chicken and the gravy is to cook some rice, take the chicken off the bones, mix with the gravy and season with pimento and heat thoroughly either in a double boiler or the oven.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Rich Plum Pudding Is Easily Made BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer Pumpkin pie is essentially an American dish, but plum pudding as a dessert for Christmas dinner dates back to the days of the Normans. It has become symbolic of the Christmas spirit.. There is the very’ rich plum pud-

ding full of fruit and spices, which will keep a long time and should be eaten only a little at a time. These puddings are of very high food value and must be counted as an integral part of the meal. Small servings should be given at the end of a big Christmas dinner. Os course there are more simple puddings v/hich answer the purpose and preserve the Christmas traditions. These puddings are at their best when freshly made, and for this reason may be difficult to work in with the other dinner preparations. The rich plum pudding makes an ideal gift from the kitchen, and, since it can be made several weeks in advance, does away with any last-minute Christmas rush. The molds for the puddings must be well greased so that the pudding will slip out easily. The water must not stop boiling during the steaming process and the covers of the molds must fit closely so that no moisture can get into the pudding while it is steaming. Easy Even for Novice With these precautions in mind, even the novice should have no difficulty in preparing and serving a perfect plum pudding for Christmas dinner. Our mothers spent hours stoning reisins, shredding citron and chopping candied orange and lemon peels, but now these fruits can be purchased prepared for use. It also is possible to buy excellent puddings in cans of various sizes which need only to be thoroughly heated for serving. The following rule for plum pudding is tried and true. While the pudding is rich enough to keep perfectly, it is not as rich as some which use twice the amount of suet. Plum Pudding Three cups soft stale bread crumbs, 1 cup chopped suet, lb cup flour, 4 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, Vs teaspoon grated nutmeg, V teaspoon ground cloves, 1 cup light brown sugar, % cup molasses, V teaspoon soda, 1 cup blanched and shredded almonds, 4 tablesspoons tart jelly, 2 tablespoons coffee infusion, 1 cup cleaned currants, I cup seeded raisins, Vi cup shredded orange and lemon peel, 14 cup shredded citron. Chop fruit and suet with flour. Add crumbs and mix well. Beat yolks of eggs until 'thick and lemon colored and add to first mixture. Dissolve soda in coffee and add with salt, sugar, spices, molasses and jelly. Mix thoroughly and fold in whites of eggs beaten until still and dry. Turn into a well-oiled mold and steam five hours, Serve with liquid sauce and a garnish of whipped cream or hard sauce.

INDICT BOOKIE AS MURDERER Pizzino Charged With Being Buckley ‘Trigger Man/ By United Press DETROIT, Dec. 20.—Efforts of law enforcement agencies of Detroit to clear up the thus-far unexplained murder last summer of Gerald E. Buckley, radio commentator, rid the city of gangsters and curb the racketeers, seemed to be achieving real results today, as a hectic week of grand jury activities came to a close. The jury's work was capped late Friday when an indictment charging Ted Pizzino, dapper New York tailor, bookie and former night club owner, with being one of the “trigger men” in the Buckley killing was returned. Pizzino, returned from New York after a three-months’ extradition fight, was to be arraigned today before Judge Donald Van Zile. While he already was charged with the murder, the indictment will enable the state to bring him to trial without having to expose their evidence at a preliminary hearing. Besides Pizzino, Joe Bommarito, former St. Louis gangster, and Angelo Livecchi also are held on murder warrants in the same killing.

in 1812 and since then it has endeared itself to millions of people. For years now the waltz has not been danced. Last year it returned. This year the Berlin waltz is really the basic waltz step revived. It has become so popular that it now is also the basis for most of the steps in the fox trot and the tango. Diagram shows how the Berlin waltz is danced in a perfect square. It is a recognized fact that people who learn to waltz correctly are the most graceful dancers and can learn other dances more readily than those w r lio have not had the advantage of the waltz. Even if you have waltzed before, it is essential that you learn the Berlin waltz as here given; these steps are used in various ways as the focal point of many of the more intricate steps we will deal with later.

BROTHER DAVID GETS FAME, BUT SOLLIE'S HAPPY Mail Carrier Belasco Will Retire After Walking 250.000 Miles, BY SHERMAN MONTROSE, NT A Service Writer SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 20 Forty years in Uncle Sam's service as postal clerk and mail carrier is ended and Sollie Belasco—brother of David Belasco, the famous theatrical producer—is retiring with his own philosophy: ■'Every man to hi* life'* work; let bin. do thr job nflt and ho will get hU greatest enjovment in the fulfillment.” Sollie. veteran employe of the San Francisco po6toffice, says he has walked 250,000 miles since he began carrying the mail in the late 'Bos—and he's pretty tired. So. when 1931 arrives, he will lay aside the mail bag that has served him so faithfully, and quit, One of the Faithful In the dim aisles of the mail sorting room, Belasco is rated by fellow workers as one of the most conscientious, most faithful. They tell you that several months ago Sollie became ill and had to go to bed. As soon as he was able to get on his feet again he sneaked back to the postofflee and the superintendent found '-'-i sorting the mail for his route, apparently feeling that not one else could do his job as it should be done. Sollie became a postman when the Belasco family lived here, long before David was training Mrs, Leslie Carter to star in “Maryland.” David, it seems, had been of a different sort; the routine life of a postman hadn’t appealed to him, so at an early age he became a circus bareback rider and eventually drifted into the theater. Lots David Have fame Glamour and glory gathered about the name of Belasco with David garnering all the fame. Meanwhile, Sollie went his patient, ””>dest way. He worked long and hard, he was a good husband and father and he sent his two sons and a daughter through the University of California. Sollie is proud of David’s wonderful career, but he doesn’t envy his famous brother. He's not the sort that would envy. He loves his brother and that's apparent when David’s name is brought up. “We haven’t seen each other in many years; not since out parents died,” Sollie says. David came west then. He was very sad. He said he would never come back here again. Memories of the old days hurt him too much. Veteran Dentist Dies By Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 20.—Funeral services will be held Sunday for Dr. John C. McCormick, 71. a dentist here forty-six years.
