Noon Advertising Rates Upon Application EDITORIAL ACLEAN SWEEP The convincing manner in which tile city of Seattle voted in a change of administration proves beyond any doubt that they were tired of the way things have been going. In the new mayor Arthur B. Langlie we have a clean cut young man who in the opinion of this paper will endeavor to serve the people of the city of Seattle efficiently and honestly. We believe that Mr. Langlie will have an attentive ear for the pecular problems that are the Negro's. Vic Myers, the defeated candidate, is a popular person will all classes. He had many obstacles to overcome during the campaign just passed. First of all he was the target for the red-bating of his opponents that resorted to that kind of a campaign. Then too he definitely represented one group of people, and many who advocated a middle of the road policy were a bit dubious of his policies being equitable to all of the people. Rich man and poor man alike. ' If Vic Meyers had of been elected instead of Arthur. Langlie, the Negro citizen would have possessed a champion of their rights in the mayor's office. The past actions of the Lieutenant-<S-overnor have proved that he believes in equal rights for all citizens. His part in having the nefarious Anti-Marriage bill formally withdrawn is Washington State history. This bill sponsored each term of the legislature by supposedly 'better citizens', if ever passed would establish a' precedent in our fair state for discrimination in many places. In the council the election of Mrs. Powell, who had the support of all factions former councilman John E. Carroll,. and Samuel Humes we have a group that will work harmoni– ously. We feel that those who opposed the successful can– didates will lend their aid, to give the victors every oppor– tunity to place their program into operation. We hope that the citizens who did not support the winners will give their moral and other support. · Negro voters supported all candidates, and every elected official is indebted for race support. The race was extra– ordinarily active this election because aside from the general issues at hand, the mistreatment of Negroes when arrested by certain elements in the police force is not a forgotten issue Some of the largest mass meetings that have ever been held in the city since the advent of radio were held this year. Every citizen wanted to know what was going to be done about the way our people have been handled. We believe that theJ;e will be many improvements, including the proper handling of our people by certain members of the police department. Keep Off April 29 Banquet and Floor Show Mt. Rainier Chpt.

'is considered by many people to be the best ever: written by a wo– man ? Sarah Flower Adams, the daughter of the talented and fear– less English journalist, Benjamin Flower, wrote it in the early part of the nineteenth century. This hymn is based on the story of Jacob, as told in Genesis 28:11-17. Few hymns have such a rich heritage of associations surround- ing its use. It was the favorite • hymn of the martyred President • William McKinley, and brought • comfort and peace to him in his last hours. His physician, Dr. M. D. Mann, reported that the dying • persident softly sang "Nearer My • God to Thee, E'en though it be a • cross," saying "This has been my constant prayer." At the World's Sunday School Convention, Washington, D. C., in Southern Style Meals • 1910, "Nearer, My God to Thee," • was sung in twenty-three different • Chinese - American Dishes languages.

Continuing its long-range safety program, the Seattle Traffic and Safety Council is currently spon– soring a slogan-writing contest, open to the general public.

First prize will be fifteen dollars, second ten dollars, third five dollars, and there will be twenty one-dollar prizes. All contest prizes will be in cash. Entries must be mailed to the Seattle Traffic and Safety Council, 416 Douglas Bldg., on or before March 19. we will print some of the high– lights. Each year, egg production starts into an upswing just before spring is officially with us. And during the four months after that the hens rustle about in the open and lay as many eggs as they do in all the other Inonths of the year put together. Since the beginning of the new season last November, egg supplies have been considerably above the average and prices have been unusually low. Specifically, the food value of an egg lies in its protein, its min– erals and its vitamins. Eggs are very rich in iron, a mineral we often lack in our diets. Egg pro– tein is of high quality - the effi– cient kind necessary in the struc– ture of body tissues. Eggs are also an excellent source of vitamin A and they contain vi– tamins B, G, and D. The vitamin D content varies considerably, from high to low, depending upon the food the hen eats. Eggs are a good source of calcium and are very rich in phosphorus. In cooking eggs and egg dishes temperature is most important. When the protein in egg is heat– ed it coagulates or becomes firm. If this heating takes place slow– ly, the eggs will be tender when they are done. But with temper– ature high, the protein in them shinks and makes the eggs tough. Good cooks have various ways of controlling the temperature. If they are making an omelet for in– stance, they may use a smooth, heavy pan over low heat. A double boiler is necessary for other mixtures cooked on top of the stove. If the mixtures in the boiler is a soft-custard the water in the lower part must be below rathef- than at the boiling point. To keep a baked custard or a souffle at this constant tempera– ture, put it on a rack in a pan of hot water. The over tempera- ture is moderate. Following is a recipe for Hol– landaise sauce that may be kept over and reheated. It is also good sen:ed over asparagus, broccoli, green cabbage, or other green spring vegetables. Hollandaise Sauce 4 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons le1non juice, 112 cup butter, 14 teaspoon salt, Dash of cayenne, '\4 cup boil– ing water. Divide the butter into three por– tions. Beat the egg yolk and lemon juice together, add one piece of butter, and cook in a double boil– er, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the stove, add a second piece of butter, and stir rapidly. Then add the remaining butter, and con– tinue to stir until the mixture is completely blended. Add the salt, cayenne, and boiling water. Re– turn to the double boiler, and stir until the sauce thickens. Keep Date May 2nd May Festival-Dance Dr. F. B.
