TODAY’S RECIPE
By BETTY BARCLAY
VACATION LUNCHES
Have you ever realized the wonder-
ful opportunity mothers have during
vacation time to prepare nourishing
dainties for their children?
No matter how much we dislike the
idea it is true that a large percentage
of our children are undernourished.
School authorities realize this and at-
tempt to serve nutritious lunches in
| many of the large city schools—hop-
ing that these lunches will turn un-
dernourished children into the healthy
little animals they are intended to be.
1 In the country and smaller towns the
mothers are entirely responsible for
the diet of their children, and during
nine months of the year the mid-day
meal far too often consists of a pack-
ed lunch that is none too well bal-
anced.
During vacation, mothers have a
wonderful opportunity to prepare
tasteful little mid-day meals that will
put roses into the cheeks that are un-
accustomed to them.
They do not have to be elaborate
meals. They do not have to be meals
that require a great deal of work
over a hot stove or range. On the
contrary, the average child most re-
quires in hot weather, foods that are
| very easily prepared. Milk, fruit
| salads, novel sandwiches, lemonade,
, orangeade, and cool desserts are the
kinds of food that children like and
they are also the kinds of food the went forward with his religious serv-
children most need in the middle of
a hot summer day.
A HOLINESS CHURCH SERVICE
In a city of southern Kansas I had
held a “Scottsboro” meeting in the af-
ternoon at a Methodist Church and
had collected funds for the defense of
the nine boys in Alabama. Then
the evening, I called at a “Holiness
Church” near the residence where I
was staying. When the leader saw
me, he kindly came back, made ar-
rangements for the appearance of
of our representatives to take a cot
lection in his church at a subsequent
meeting, for the nine boys—and then

SITES CONSIDERED FOR NEW
GIRLS SCHOOL IN MARYLAND
Baltimore, Md.—(CNS)—Seven pro-
posed sites for the new $150,000 Mary-
land Training School for Colored Girls
are being considered by the board of
managers of the institution.
One of the principal questions to
be decided by the managerial board
is that of whether the institution shall
be operated by a colored superintend-
ent and staff. This question, accord-
ing to Judge Thomas J. S. Waxter,
judge of the juvenile court, is one
which should be given careful consid-
eration. It is, he said, one of the rec-
ommendations for the proposed school
made by the Child Welfare League
of America in a recent survey here.
The league recommended also that
the institution be constructed on the
cottage plan.
NEGROES FIGHT “JIM-CROW”.
LAW IN STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Oklahoma City, Okla.—(CNS)—
Two hundred Oklahoma Negroes have
organized a league to fight state se-
gregation laws, chief among them the
“jim-crow” law. The "jim-crow” law
bars Negroes from riding in the same
compartment of a railroad car with
whites and is general throughout the
South.
The Constitutional League believes
that a more liberal attitude has de-
veloped toward the Negro since the
drafting of the state constitution and
that a change is the only fair proced-
ure. •

Fruits and vegetables are almost all
decidedly alkaline in their reactions
when taken into the system. Milk is
also alkaline in its reaction. The cool
drinks and desserts reduce the tem-
perature of over-heated little bodies,

from heavy, play may be resumed
with very little delay.
Use marmaiaae, dates, nuts, let-

salmon, cream cheese and olives as
fillings for your sandwiches. Vary
these constantly, and moisten such
fillings as salmon or peanut butter

Serve a fruit salad, fruit cup, or

is an exceptionally healthful fruit.
Let the children have plenty of
lemonade. A little ice floating in the

all unless they drink the lemonade too
rapidly when very hot—and any moth-

from the Communist Party at a onb-

ism, has been ordered deported to Fin-

GOOSEBERRIES AND CURRANTS
Some women preserve a wonderful
assortment of fruits and berries but
neglect the tart little currant and its
sour friend, the gooseberry. Such
neglect means that this particular
fruit closet is lacking in some very
delicious flavors. Currants and par-
ticularly gooseberries require con-
siderable sugar. This year sugar is
remarkably low in price so that these
dainties should by all means be pre-
pared. By the way, sugar is a quick-
energy food that is greatly needed
during cold weather, so that these
particular winter dainties have a
great deal to be said in their favor.

HOLD SUMMER SCHOOL
FOR COUNTY TEACHERS
Kingstree, S. C.—(CNS)—A sum-
mer school for teachers from Charles-
ton, Georgetown, Williamsburg and
Berkeley counties is now in progress
here in the Tomlinson graded school.
The enrollment runs close to 200. J.
B. Beck, who is principal of the How-
ard school in Georgetown, is director.
County Superintendent of Educa-
tion M. F. Montgomery spoke to the
assembly at its opening.
OINTMENT
There was less ceremony and more
life; less formalism and more reality,
although the performance and the per-
formers were of a lower order, Intel
lectually and socially, than in the
average of the other churches.
But this church service interested
everybody, of every class and of ev-
ery age. It interested me and the
little child who sat beside me. is
there not something wrong, something
unfortunately missing, from a church
whose ceremonies have lost their ap-
peal to the child, to most of the young,
to most of the normal and natural
people, and which church has become
an institution that appeals only to a
very limited number of very “proper"
and very “good” people?
Is there not something to be learn-
ed in a “Holiness Church?”
DISCRIMINATION PROTESTED
AND HOWARD UNIVERSITY
ADMINSTRATION ENDORSED
Chicago, Ill.—(CNS)—A resolution
protesting race discrimination was
made at the annual convention of the
American Federation of Teachers here
Friday.
The administration of Howard Uni-
versity, at Washington, by Dr. Morde-
cai Johnson was endorsed by the con-
vention, which criticized the state-
ment of Representative Wood of Indi-
ana, chairman of the committee on ap-
propriations, that he would vote for
no more appropriations for the school
so long as Dr. Johnson continues as
its head.
On the floor of the convention it
was charged that Representative
Wood dislikes Dr. Johnson because the
college president had blocked attempts
of politicians to use faculty posts st
the school as patronage plums for
Negroes unqualified to instruct there.
THINKS CHARITY BEGINS HOME
Henderson, Ky.—(CNS)—Regard-
less of what France may think about
it, colored residents of Henderson are
absolutely, positively, and unanimous-
ly in favor of President Hoover’s debt
moratorium plan.
City Clerk William Schopeflin said
today that news of the moratorium
had spread through the Negro see-
tions of the town and that since then
not a collector has been able to col-
lect a bill.
“Mr. Hoover said nobody had to
pay their debts for a year and we
ain’t goin’ to," was the reply the col-
lectors told Schopeflin they received
at every house.
TO BE ATTRACTIVE AND POPULAR
WOMEN MUST BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS
Women who are always complain-
ing quickly lose their charm for
men, and other women, too. Nobody
has much patience with women who
always feel weak and are too tired
to do things. Men always admire
strong, vigorous women with plenty
of pep and they are the kind that
go places and do things. If you are
continually feeling like sitting down
in the nearest chair, have the “blues”
regularly and never enjoy being with
other people you are merely robbing
yourself of the happiness of life.
Turn over a new leaf, get a new
start,” and enjoy the pleasures that
rightfully belong to you by taking
StJoseph’s G.F.P. This rich, vegeta-
ble tonic contains roots and herbs of
known medicinal value that for years
have been recognized as being ex-
tremely beneficial to all womankind.
Start taking G.F.P. today. Its invig-
orating, stimulating effect will make
you feel like a new woman. Your:
dealer will sell you the big one dollar
bottle of G.F.P. on an absolute
