THE proof of the pudding is in the eating, but it is seldom difficult to persuade anyone to cat desserts. iii' cranberry roly poly is a good, substantial dessert and one that will fit in well with various dishes to make a perfect meal. We arc all fond of sweets. Sometimes loo much so. It is often a temptation to Mi. housewife to make many pies ami rich, heavy desserts just because she is sure of the welcome they will receive. It is nice to please everybody, but the housewife has other things to think of when .lie is preparing desserts. She must collider the food value 'and the cost. We n. ■ .1 si. me sweets in our diet. In the five food groups from which we should select the foods to make up balanced meals," we have one group of sweets. Dessert Has Food Value Because the dessert is agreeable and pleasing to the taste, it is often considered as an extra and not as real food. Manx -times the dessert is made up of eggs, milk, gelatin, .nuts, sugar and whipped cream. In such a dessert we have body building' food equivalent to a serving of steak, and more calories than a whole lunch would count. "Such a heavy dessert on top of a big meal taxes the digestive organs. If expensive meats and vegetables have been used in the meal, the dessert should be a simple one. However, the simple, cheap dessert need not be plain and unattractive. It is often more appetizing than expensive sweets. Holy Poly Recipe Cranberry roly poly is an inexpensive pudding, is not very, rich, is easily and quickly made and may be served with many different kinds of meals. Here is the recipe: Two cups Gold Medal flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons butter, three-quarter cup milk, 4 cups cranberries, 2% cups sugar, 1 cup water. Method: 1. Cook together the cranberries, sugar and water. 2. Make a biscuit dough of the other ingredients. 3. Roll the dough to three-quarter inch in thickness. 4. Spread three-fourths cup of tire cooked cranberries on the dough. Do not use the juice. 5. Roll up into a roll, .6. Place in a pan and steam one-half hour. 7. When done, slice and serve with a hot sauce. How to Make Sauce For the sauce, measure the cooked cranberries not used in the pudding. Combine one cup of juice and one cup of cranberries with 1 tablespoon flour. Cook until slightly thickened. Serve hot over the pudding. This amount will serve ten. Roly poly is an old, old-fashioned pudding. Our grandmothers made more steamed puddings than we do. This particular roly poly may be made with almost any kind of fruit. Canned peaches or apricots are delicious in place of the cranberries. A sauce may be made out of syrup in which the fruit was canned, or the pudding may be served with whipped cream. Stewed dried apricots also make a good filling. Grapes, canned berries, apples or apple sauce may be used for the filling, with a plain vanilla or lemon sauce, if there is no extra fruit juice. Very often I find a bit of left-over cooked or canned fruit that is just enough to make into a good roly poly. In the spring a cherry roly poly made of fresh cherries is delicious. In * that case, do not cook the cherries that are used in the pudding, but cook enough for the sauce. GIVES ADVICE TO YOUNG WOMEN Dowager Queen Alexandra Was Early Wireless User With the recent ' death of Dowager Queen Alexandra, Radio lost one of its first and most loyal supporters. D. Mazotto, an Italian writer, in an early book on wireless mentions that in 189S, Alexandra, then Queen of England, kept in communication from her residence, Osborne House, with the then Prince of Wales, now King of England, while he was aboard the royal -yacht "Osborne," when it was anchored in Cowes Bay close by, or when it was in the open sea on excursions. Assistant Attorney General Mrs. Mabel Willehrandt, leading woman barrister of the United States, is shown above as she gave a short Radio talk over Station WCAP, Washing-ton, D. C, on the work of the national Y. W. C. A. She told how young women could fit themselves for higher things in public life by making use of the teachings afforded by that institution.

Miss Nina Baker is only 25 years old, Nit she is a recognized authority on motor travel information anywhere in the United States, Radio appealed to Miss Baker as the most satisfactory and comprehensive way of conducting an up-to-the-minute travel service and accordingly she is now directing the only Radio tourist bureau in the world. This clearing house of automobile travel Information is the Stewart-Warner tourist bureau and will be broadcast over WBBM, Chicago. WBBM operates on a 2(ib meter wave length. Branch stations of the bureau will be established in 52 cities. Radio talks will be given over WBBM several times a week by Miss Baker and oilier authorative speakers. The shortest route to Florida, the best way to California, how to drive to Quebec and Montreal for winter sports arid similar trips will be given in helpful detail over the air. ISvery phase of motor traveling will be considered: how to dress, keeping physicially lit while motoring, traffic laws in Ihe -different states, weather forecasts, wlnre to camp and how to estimate the cost of your trip. More than this, the bureau broadcasts an'ihvitation for all their listeners who plan trips to send in for free road maps and charts and any speeial information which they may want. No charge is made for any phase of the bureau's service. Miss Baker is relying partly on her audience to give the benefit of their motor experience and tell of any unusual or particularly successful trips they have made. Affiliations have been established with more than 2,000 motor clubs, chambers of commerce, garages, hotels, resort and other travel information bureaus, whose resources will be available for tourists applying to the bureau. Club Women Will Hear Minnesota Federation Music, Art and Literature to Feature WCCO Programs MINNEAPOLIS. — On Thursday, January 8, and the second Thursday of each month thereafter, 3,000,000 club women of America will tune in the Gold Medal station, WCCO, Minneapolis-St. Paul, through which the Fine Arts department of the Minnesota Federation of Women's clubs will broadcast a series of programs. The programs will commence at 4:30 p. m. central time, and January 8 art will be the feature topic. February 19 the program will pertain to literature, and on March 12 a correlated program of music, art and literature will be broadcast. This series of broadcasts, the first ever attempted by the Minnesota Federation of Women's clubs, has been arranged by Mrs. Harry S. Godfrey of Minneapolis, vice-chairman of the Fine Arts department of the General Federation of Women's clubs, and Mrs. A. A. Passer of Olivia, Minn., chairman of the Fine Arts department of the Minnesota federation. Mrs. Max Obendorfer of Chicago, chairman of the Musical committee of the General federation, is urging that club women all over the nation make it a point to hear the programs, and is hoping that similar ones will be arranged at a later date by other state federations. The Minnesota series will probably lead to the cooperating of different federations for the exchange of programs. Woman Saved by Radio in Northern Part of Canada OTTAWA, Canada. — "Woman Saved by Radio" is the headline in Canadian newspapers which recently caught the public eye. The woman, living far from civilization, in Canada's northland, had fallen seriously ill. The priest of the small community, unable to cope with the case himself, hurried to Edmonton, Alberta. There a doctor was procured and told the symptoms as found by the priest. The method of treatment was broadcast through a local station. The message was picked up by two receivers . in the wilderness where the woman lay near death's door. The doctor's instructions were followed and the patient is reported to be recovering rapidly.
