Desserts; Colorful, But Light Turkey is not the only creature stuffed during the holiday season for most of mankind seems to be satis- fied with fine, rich foods. The rich food was awfully good while it lasted but not easy on the digestion, and in many cases, has left people feeling a bit groggy and over-fed. Now is the time to serve light, but tasty foods and give the family a chance to get back into the normal eating routine once again. When it comes to desserts, there is nothing that will appeal to every- one more than jellies. These tasty, ejuivering colorful moulds are a pleasure to look at and a delight to eat. During the rush of the holiday season they are especially handy he- cause the busy housewife can make one of these desserts in practically no time at all and the ingredients used can be just what you have on hand- plain fruit jelly powders, attractively moulded and served with cream or custard sauce.s, make a lovely fmale to the meal.

Western Reserve Univer.'^ity's down- town unit, Cleveland College, has ii oourso In "the technique of social and business Intercourse," adopted at the suggestion of Newton D. Hnker, a uni- versity trustee. The former secretary of war was said to IrnvQ been amazed at the bad manners of c<dlege graduates. "He was astounded.'' explained Dr. A. Cas- well Kills of the college faculty, "when he saw a couple of them using tU^ banjo .!?iip on a fork at tho dinner ta- ble." The laboratory method of teaching will be used in the course. Classes will give teas and dinners so students will have an opportunity to practice good manners. Persons not studying in the college will he permitted to enroll. "I'"ull time students are advised to solect this course," Dr. Ellis said, "Not merely the rules of acceptable social procidcri.' are discussed, but also the underlying phllo.sophy and psychology which give meaning to the procedures followed by people of cul- ture and refinement. "Among tho topics to I).,' studied are. "Correct forms of introduction under various circiimstanci's, how to meet people easily and put them at ease, how to start and carry on inter- esting conversations, how to use the voiceâ€" quality, pitch, enunciation, in- flection â€" posture, poise, detection and overcoming of unpleasant hahilsi, get- ting away gracefully, tho host and hostess in tho home, tho guest in an- other's home, conduct In piildic pines r.nd travelling, dress f(U' difiereiit oc- casions, how to nialie friends, how to lose friends." as an indication tliat the surprise visit to their homeland would bo a brief one. Tho children were believed to bo ei- ther at the Lindbergh estate, "Long Barn," near Sevcnoaks, England, or iu Wales, with Mrs. Lindbergh's sister, Mrs. Aubrey NIel Morgan. Since the taciturn filer arrived In England, December Slst, 1935, he has had no cause to complain of his treatment by the British press and public. As he wished, the Lindbergh family has been left strictly alone.

Thesn ditiiaiehes added that hundreds of autonKuillps blocked roads about Knglcwood, N.J., where the Lindberghs were staying, and that special ptdico were posted about the Morrow estate. There were confident predictions that the ooiipla would return shortly to the c(niiilry which had bf^eii Iheir iiiiohtnmlve boat for nearly two years In order to lake up again their seclud- ed life with their children. Sons Left Behind The fact that their two sons - Jon aged fi, and seven-months old I^and Morrow -- were left behind was taken Human mother love was traced to magnesium, calcium and prolactin last week by Dr. Charles R. Stockard of Cornell Medical College in a talk to the New York Academy of Medicine. There are other elements in such love, but lack of these three chemi- cals, he said, may account for the often observed eases of distorted ma- ternal alfection, such as the women who show violent dislike for their bRbics. Roth magnesium anel calcium may be present in her body, but be out of balance. These two are essential cheinicals in living tissues. Trolactin is a com- plex chemical, a l.ormonc, manufac- tured in tho ])iCiiitary gland at the base of the brain. Its primary use is ti) stimulate production of milk. .Studies of the endocrine glands of dogs. Dr. Stoi!;ar,l said, led to tho human clues. The endocrincs are the ghuids of internal secretion, and the priu'.ipul ones aie pituitary, thyroid, adrenals and siiprarenals iiiul ti'.e go- nads, or sex gland.^. Hullilegs, l)r. Siockard explained, owe their massive heads and ugly faces to a peculiarity of their thy- roid glands. In Ibem this organ has an unusual dispro|)ortion of cells with all'inity for acid.s anil bases. I'\'inale bulldu>;s freciuently have di.storted maternal instincts and will even cat their puupics. This distor- tion, said Dr. .Siockard, is attributed to the thyroids.
