: FIDDLE around with a few new egg recipes and youll find Some new egg harmonies. Iso Briselli, noted concert violinist, likes to discover unusual ways of preparing egg dishes for his friends. “ Here are a few notes from his scale.

Baked Eggs Briselli (Serves 2)

4 large slices of bacon 2 teaspoonfuls of butter "Fry the bacon till erisp, then break it into tiny pieces with a fork. Heat two individual egg plates or small baking dishes, grease " each with a teaspoonful of butter, sprinkle bacon into them. Break two eggs into each dish, gently so as not to disturb the yolks; salt and pepper the whites. Pour two tablespoons of cream over each dish of eggs. Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees F.) for 10 minutes or until whites are set. | Among Mr. Briselli’s specialties| are omelet variations, such as those made with cheese, rice or apples. Here is a favorite designed by him to serve two people, but is enough for four.

Serve an egg-and-tomato cup to each person, on bed of boiled rice, with the sauce poured over it.

CHILDREN

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE tne child who won't wash himself or brush his hair, or keep neat? : A. Talk to him? B. Appeal to his pride? C. Tel] him you're disgusted? D. Let him’ go until he loses friends? : I wish you would tell me. This is a triple-X puzzle. Mothers comfort themselves by saying, “When he is older he will snap out of it,” and that’s true. But in the meantime taey endure the uplifted eyebrows of all the Mrs. Joneses, and that’s hard to bear. Besides, the teacher may send him home to be cleaned up.

By OLIVE BARTON

Maybe that would be a good thing. Boys think the world

doesn’t care. They have to learn that it does care. ; _ Talking is so often useless. It goes in one ear, if it can get in past the grime, and out the other. In the first place, good old habit is a grand thing. But in order to have it work right, Johnny has to be caught young, and never allowed to miss one night without his bath, or one morning without a good grooming. Let this go for a day or a week and there's Johnny, forgetting all he knew and rather liking it. It is the easiest thing in the world to back-slide, much easier than pursuing a policy, once the routine has been broken. Appeal to his pride? It sounds just grand, but ask a hundred ‘thousand mothers where it gets them. Pride, you see, loves a holiday. Tell him you're disgusted and he just grins, or thinks you're crazy, or else a -fuddy-duddy. If I know my Johnnies they'll take a long chance on pride.

= ” » » » MAYBE A GOOD STIFF LESSON might cure him. Children . will take to heart things from friends or strangers, that they don’t care a farthing for when parents complain. It might be possible to enter into a compact with his teacher or 2 naps even a friend—preferably older—a boy or youth that Jonny admires. Don’t have him insult Johnny, but a word to the wise might be sufficient. Maybe for very shame those neglected ears will have the grace to burn. He won't forget. It might do a lot of good.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young widow 26 years old and I have three small children. My husband has been dead four years. Ever since my husband died I have been living in a little house which belongs to my mother, I receive a widow’s pension and get along fairly well. ’ I have been going with a boy a few months younger than I for three and a half years. like their own father who was perfect in every respect. He is a farmer and has been trying to get a start so that we can get married. Now he has asked me that if he would rent a place would I come and keep house for him. We would be married as soon as he is able to keep all of us. I feel that my children need a father. His folks approve of me and want us to go ahead with our plans and said they would help all they could. I have tried to talk to my mother about my problems but she only looks at things from her side and not mine. She says the public would believe me to be the man’s common law wife which I would not be. She is not wealthy but has some property and says she will leave the house I live in to me. She has promised me training in some work and an education for my oldest child but I can’t depend on this. Is it fair for me to give up my life to suit her, or would it be proper and right to go with this young man as he wishes? I would never do anything to hurt the children as they are my first consideration. GRATEFUL.

Answer—Your mother may not be the most sympathetic person in the world, but she is right in her estimate of public opinion regarding your proposed venture. I do not believe that it is an arrangement which would work. : None of us can afford to forfeit the respect of our fellows particularly those of us who have children. The mother of three does well to conform to social conventions no matter how inconvenient they may be. If she does not, the children will suffer from the jibes of other children and from a vague, uneasy: feeling that something is wrong. go . Quite aside from the unfavorable comment of the community, you would be flying in the face of another established order. As a rule a man does not marry a woman until he is.able to assume the responsibility for her support. He cannot command the respect of his family unless he fulfills this responsibility. In a manner of speaking, you are putting the cart before the horse when you set up a home together before the young man is able to suppert it. The practi thing to do is to wait until he has established himself and then marry him in accordance with custom. Your loneliness and desire for help and companionship interferes with your ability to reason. No young man will engage a housekeeper with three children unless he is in love with her. Everybody knows this perfectly well. The situation would need constant explaining, and believe me you would not enjoy being on the defensive all the time. It is not an atmosphere conducive to the development of love. You would come to feel that you had another son instead of a husband, and your critical faculties, now lulled by love and loneliness would soon disturb your domestic peace. Postponement may be hard to bear, but not so hard, I believe, as a situation which would call forth such general disapproval. JANE JORDAN.

CONNIE REPORTS NEW GEM THEFT

Miss Bennett Says She and Anita Louise Were Robbed of $33,095.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29 (U. P.).—Lieut. Kyran Phelan of the Police Robbery Detail said today “were investigating” a $33,095 jewel robbery reported by actresses Constance Bennett and Anita Louise. Scores of suspects were questioned and. released. ~ The actresses said five masked men “in a dark sedan” forced “iss

" | Bennett's limousine to the curb near

the “loop” early yesterday and forced them to give up the jewels or have their “brains blown out.” They said their chauffeur, George Bayne, had been slugged. Miss Bennett said that she had lost a diamond and ruby bracelet

worth $28,000 and a stage diamond

ring worth $95. She told Lieut.

Phelan she had saved a pair of earrings and a lavalier worth $4500 by hunching her shoulders and burying them in the collar of her $7500 mink coat. Miss Louise reported that she had lost two rings and two bracelets, all of which were worth $5000. Richard Ainley, leading man in Miss Bennett's stage production, “Wasy Virtue,” had §400 in his wallet, but the bandits overlooked the cash, they told police. It was the second time in a month that Miss Bennett had been robbed of jewelry. She reported a loss totaling $1540 from her Indianapolis hotel roon: Jan. 2. Miss Benneti’s show opens in St. Louis today. Miss Louise was en route to Memphis, Tenn., on a personal appearance tour.

Robbed? Yes! No!

Connie Told Officers

When Miss Bennett was in Indianapolis early in January to open her play, she reported the theft of $1320 in jewels and $220 in cash from her hotel room. Indianapolis detectives began work immediately on the case, and were brought up sharply a day or so later when Miss Bennett told re-

porters in Milwaukee, Wis., that she|

had not been robbed. Detectives then called Col. Jack Porter, the play company manager, and he seemed as puzzled as they were. He said Miss Bennett would ust laugh when he asked her about it. ; After considering all available information on the matter, detectives closed the case. It’s still closed.

COUGHLIN HINTS AT FOES’ ‘SINISTER AIM

- DETROIT, Jan. 29 (U. P.).—The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin said in his Sunday sermon.that “master minds” had started a movement to inquire into his activities, “possibly . to rid the world of a troublesome priest, possibly (for) a more sinister reason.” He said he would welcome an investigation, which a group of ministers and laymen proposed to the Government last week, but suggested that “to employ others to perform a deed which the real instigators dare not attempt to do themselves is not a new technique, especially when political prestige and .economic power are involved.” In Civil War days, le siad, the “courts of the land, together with those who surrounded the Chief Executive, were maintaining that . dictatorship should rule supreme.” “Is there a parallel today,” he continued, “in the sense that all opponents who disagree if not with principles at least with practices of government should be liquidated in preparation, first for mobilization day, and then for our entrance into a World War to defend the imperialism of a far-flung gospel of naturalism or anti-Christianity?

3 Americans In First 10

PARIS, Jan. 29 (U, P.).—The 10 best-dressed women today, Paris dress makers “decided, are led by the Duchess of Kent and Windsor and include, for the first time, Queen Elizabeth. Women, the dress makers decided in the annual United Press poll, are better dressed this season than at any time since Cleo-

patra, despite the war. All the 10 have wardrobes and jewelry worth more than $1,000,000 each. The war and jewelry, of course, increased the cost of distinctive dressing. The dress makers voted these women the 10 best dressed: - 1. The Duchess of Kent and Windsor tied: 3. Mme. Antenor Patino, the South American “tin princess,” wife of the heir to one of the five richest men in the world, who is the daughter of the Duke and Duchess de Durcal. 4. Mrs. Doris Duke Cromwell, “richest girl in the world,” who eritered the list on the basis of the wardrobe she ordered by Atlantic Clipper when her husband became United: States Minister to Canada. 5. Begum Aga Khan. 6. Mrs. Gilbert Miller, wife of the New York theatrical producer. 7. Baronne Eugene de Rothschild. : 8. Mrs. Harrison Williams of New York. 2 9. Countess Barbara Hutton 'Reventlow, heiress to the “five-and-dime” Woolworth fortune, 10. Queen Elizabeth. The Duchess of Kents rise to the top. of the list undoubtedly was influenced by her choice of dresses for her sojourn in Australia where her husband is to be Governor-General. Stylists contended that the two Duchesses have almost no tastes in common, but each, in her own way, attains near perfection. The Duchess of Kent, they said, had a better choice in hats and tailored clothes to wear in the morning, but Windsor’s taste was superior for afternoon reception clothes and evening and dinner gowns! Queen Elizabeth entered the “first 10”, for the first time, despite the fact that she does not buy her clothes in Paris and prefers crinoline effects for formal dress. The dressmakers, however, admitted that her particular taste for crinolines, her personal beauty, her jewels and her harmony in dress made it obligatory that they include her on their list. Lady Elsie de Wolfe Mend] and the Marquise de Paris were dropped from the list. Mrs, Cromwell also was in the list for the first time.

EDISON ASKS CHANGE

IN SHIP CONTRACTS |

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (U. P.. —Navy Secretary Charles Edison today advocated direct negotiation of naval construction contracts which he said would cut the costs of warships now built by competitive bidding. _ Mr. Edison charged the requirement that contracts be given to lowest bidders results -in “an unstandard ship” and huge wastage through differences in plans and duplications. He said the present law should be revised to allow the Navy to negotiate contracts directly for standard types of ships on an overall basis after considering all proposals. He added, however, that competition is essential and that outside concerns should be encourage to promote new naval designs

and ideas.

CITY BIRTH RATE HAS 1939 EDGE

{Tops Year's Death Total by

3.57 Per Thousand of Population.

Indiana’s . birth rate is falling and the death rate is rising, but the Indianapolis birth rate per thousand of population is still 3.57

E | more than the death rate.

‘A State Health Board report this week showed 1939 births in the state to be 57,893, a decrease of 2315 from 1938. Deaths in the state were reported to have increased 851 over 1938 to a total o 39,443. i . City Birth Rate Higher The city’s mortality rate per thousand persons was 14.5 last year, while the pirth rate was 18.07. This has been the approximate ratio each year since 1929 with the exception of 1936 when the death rate almost overtook the birth rate. In that year, the death rate per 1000 persons was 15 while the birth rate was 15.9. 6 Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health officer, said that diseases of the heart and arteries accounted for ahout one-third of the 5418 deaths in the City last year. To heart and arterial disease were attributed a total of 1877 deaths, with coronary occlusion, or heart block, the princinal cause. Ratio Stays at Level

The next general cause of death was cancer with 485 mortalities, an increase over the 461 cancer deaths in 1938. The third cause of death was tuberculosis, with 215 mortalities compared to 205 in 1938, the health officer said. “In 1939, there was little variation in the ratio of the births and deaths in comparison to former years,” Dr, Morgan said. “The death rate has never exceeded the birth rate in the history of the City as far as we know.”
