SCIENCE CONTROLS FREEZING SPEEDS
By invention of a little device
known as the cold control, science
has transformed the household au
tomatic refrigerator from a passive
to an active role. From merely be
ing a box where food is stored, it
has now become an intriguing
piece of equipment in which elabo
rate desserts may be frozen and ice
cubes prepared with greater speed
and better results.
The cold control itself consists,
as far as its manipulation is con
cerned, of a small dial-like switch
marked with a number of freezing
speeds, each of them representing a
successively colder temperature in
the freezing trays than the one pre
vious. Another notch is provided to
be used when one wishes to shut
off the refrigerator of purposes of
defrosting.
This device is the result of long
kitchen tests by home economists
who have discovered that various
frozen desserts require different
freezing speeds for successful prep
aration. They explain this by draw
ing a parallel between dessert freez
ing and cooking with heat. A big
roast, they point out, needs a slow,
steady oven temperature, while
biscuits require a quick tempera
ture. So it is with desserts.
Many are the delicacies that now
can be prepared for the first time
in the home. The cold control has
brought this about. For instance,
angel parfait, a simply prepared but
delightful mixture, may be made
easily. Biscuit tortoni, an elabor
ate preparation that requires fast
freezing and a very low tempera
ture, may be made for a bridge
luncheon in one’s refrigerator with
the cold control in “high”—last po
sition.
Another advantage of this latest
development in household refriger
ation is the fact that with his re
frigerator equipped with a cold con
trol, the host can cope with situa
tions that result in a heavy run on
his output of ice cubes. These may
be frozen in a fraction of the time
formely required.
CATHOLIC DEAN
FLAYS EINSTEIN
His Theory Called An At
tempt To Produce Doubt
About God
BOSTON, April 8.—UP)—William
Cardinal O’Connell, dean of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy in the
United States, believes that behind
the Einstein theory of space and
time there lurks the “ghastly appari
tion of atheism.”
The cardinal so expressed himself
yesterday in an address before the
New England province of Catholic
clubs of America in which he stress
ed the necessity of religious faith
and assailed the “pseudo-intellec
tuals.”
After condemning “petty, befogged
--
professors” who have set up some
new standard “to attract attention
to themselves,” the cardinal turned
directly to the subject of the Ein
stein theory.
“Why do men and women who
pretend to be intellectual forget the
very rudiments of life?” he asked.
“What does all this worked up en
thusiasm about Einstein mean? It
evidently is worked-up, fitcious en
thusiasm because I have never yet
met a man who understood in the
least what Einstein is driving at.”
“The so-called theories of Ein
stein, with his relivity and his utter
ly befogged notions about space and
time, seen nothing short of attempts
at muddying the waters without
perceiving the drift. Innocent stu
dents are led away into a realm
of speculative thought, the sole ba
sis of which, so far as I can see is
to produce a universal doubt about
God and His creation.”

Flashes of Life
(B7 Th« Associated Prass)
NEW YORK.—The alarm clock
ought to be abolished along with
morning setting-up exercises and
cold showers, in the belief of Dr.
Jesse Williams, professor of physi
cal education at Teachers’ college,
Columbia University; the way to
get up on time is to go to bed
early; the way to keep fit is to walk
four miles daily, golf, swim, play
tennis or ride horseback.
PHILADELPHIA. — Dr. Card
Barus, professor of physics at
Brown University, writing to the
American Philosophical Society, is
inclined to the belief that to teach
the people at large more science
will do more harm than good.
“Science lends itself to the arts of
war, of aggression, of exploitation,
of sabotage, quite as much as to
the arts of peace.”
NEW YORK.—Some 25.000,000
Americans, it is estimated by the
Merchants association, will have
clocks and watches an hour fast
three weeks hence when daylight
saving is in effect. Spain is to
abolish the practice.
CONSTANTINOPLE. — Wood
turners of Stamboul who operate
lathe and chisel with bare feet
outside the bazaars wish the gov
ernment to insure their toes, $350
for the big one and the next and
$150 each for the others.
NEW YORK.—Kenesaw Moun
tain Landis 2nd of Logansporte,
Ind., nephew of the baseball czar,
is the best speaker among the Co
lumbia seniors. The class has so
voted.

EDCOUCH HOME BURNS;
FIRE FANNED BY WIND
(Special to The Herald.)
EDCOUCH, April 8.—The home of
U. S. Parks and several nearby
structures were partially destroyed
Friday night when a blaze thought
to have originated in a chicken
brooder swept the new structures.
A high wind fanned the blaze to
the smaller buildings were almost a
complete loss. A large portion of the
clothing and furniture was salvaged
by those who came to view the blaze.
The home is located a mile from
Edcouch but the new fire truck
made a fast run and prevented a
total los.
HOOVER, AFTER TRIP,
FACES BUSY WEEK
WASHINGTON, April 8.—{JP)—

Rapidan river in Virginia.
MOODY FEARS
LEGISLATORS
Opposition to Governor's
Program Looms 2 Weeks
From Session Opening
By R. W. BARRY
Associated Press Staff Writer
AUSTIN. April 8.—(JP)—There is
considerable speculation around the
capitol among legislators here as
members of the house appropria
tions committee and others who
drop in on business as to what the
special session will accomplish in
addition to passing money bills.
That Gov. Moody has misgivings
as to the attitude of the law
makers toward his program, when
they return two weeks from today,
is indicated by his disposition to
withhold the appropriation bills
until after action has been taken
on his civil service, penitentiary
concentration and other proposals.
The appropriation bills will be
ready for submission immediately
upon convening of the legislature.
The senate bills have been ready
since early in the regular session,
and the house committee is now
working on its measures. The
senate is inclined to adopt the
board of control budget, while the
house is whittling the board’s
recommendations. The differences
probably will necessitate a free
conference committee.
The governor is anxious to sub
mit a civil service bill that will
meet with the approval of the law
makers as well as a penitentiary
concentration plan. The civil ser
vice bill was defeated by the house
during the regular session and the
penitentiary reorganization mea
sure was lost in free conference.
Prevalent opinion is the civil
service bill will never pass the sen
ate, even though it should get
through the house. Gov. Moody is
especially anxious to place state
employes under the merit system
and expressed keen disappointment
when the regular session killed his
bill.
Regulation of public utilities and
fixing priority rights of takers of
water from the public streams are
two important subjects wrhich are
reasonably certain to be presented.
There seems to be a feeling the
special session will not be in the
mood to do much legislating, other
than financing the highway con
struction program by levying a
gasoline tax and fixing the regula
tion fees, and providing for the
support of the judiciary, eleemosy
nary institutions and departments
of government.
ELKS OF MERCEDES

PARLEYONSHIP
_ SOON
U. S., Canada Also to Settle
Issues On 1924 Anti-Rum
Smuggling Treaty
WASHINGTON, April S.—(JP)—
Formal representations on the sink
ing of the rum-runner I'm Alone
by a patrol boat in the Gulf of
Mexico have been received by the
Canadian legation for presentation
to the state department. Except for
announcement by the Canadian
prime minister, McKenzie King,
that the sinking of the vessel, of
Canadian registry, would be the
subject of formal discussions be
tween the American and Canadian
governments, both Ottawa and the
legation have been reticent regard
ing the note.
Unofficial views of the matter,
however, are to the effect that the
Canadians are more interested in
the points at issue between the two
governments over the anti-rum
smuggling treaty of 1924 between
the United States and Great Brit
ain—which binds Canada as a do
minion of the British common
wealth—than they are over the
actual sinking.
On two previous occasions when
Canadian vessels were seized by
coast guard vessels for rum-run
ning. the Canadian government in
formally made known it was not in
sympathy with certain interpreta
tions placed by the Americans on
points in the 1924 treaty under
which the ships were seized.
CONSTABLES QUIZZED
IN HOUSTON BEATING
HOUSTON, April 8.—</P)—Two
deputy constables made statements
today relative to injuries received

Friends of Riggs stated Riggs
was set upon without cause as
they were leaving the dance floor.
Several hours later Riggs was lo
cated in the Harrisburg jail and
released after his friends had made
up an $18 fine on a charge of re
sisting an officer. The boy had
bled profusely while in the jail.

To Escape
BATON ROUGE, La., April 8.—
{&)—A scheduled murder trial was
turned into a manhunt today by
the escape of four convicts from the
Louisiana state penitentiary.
They made their get-away from
the penitentiary receiving station
yesterday by overpowering guards
and fleeing in a prison automobile.
Later one of them was captured
after a gun fight on the main street
of Magnolia, Miss. Today the other
three were reported surrounded
near Magnolia.
Two of the convicts, Steven J.
Beck, bank robber, and Jim Heard,
burglar, were to go .on trial at St.
Francisvilie today for murdering a

ster, serving a sentence for break
ing and entering, who was captured,
and Fred Wilson, purse snatcher.
Dashing into Magnolia, the con
victs stopped their car in front of
the postoffice and opened fire on
the sheriff and a deputy who ap
peared a half a block away.

been exchanged without damage
the convicts fled through a yard,
and three of them commandeered
the automobile of a passing motor
ist and sped away.
