GARLOKA DRESSING
Crumbel into a bowl—4 oz. Blue cheese (about 1 cup, crumbled)
Add and blend together—2 cups mayonnaise, % cup thick sour cream,
% cup cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, clove garlic (minced or
crushed in a garlic press after thin, papery^outer skin is removed).
Beat until mixture is fluffy. Cover and store in refrigerator. Makes
about 3 cups dressing.
Double-acting powders react largely in the oven, although their
leavening action begins during the mixing.
Stir a half cup of grated cheese into a package of piecrust mix.
Use as pastry for green apple pie.
AMBROSIA
Makes 6-8 servings.
Pare, and separate into sections: 4 oranges. Carefully remove all
membranes. Drain well: 4 cups canned pineapple, tidbits or cubed,
fresh pineapple. Peel, and slice: 4 bananas. Combine fruits lightly.
Sweeten to taste. Chill well. Just before serving, sprinkle with
shredded coconut, and top with maraschino cherry.
Ever serve Spanish Rice sprinkled with Parmesian cheese .
Add drained canned small green peas to stewed tomatoes; saves
heating vegetables separately. Only one pan to wash.
JUMBO HAMBURGERS
Shape a pound of ground beef into a big thick patty and brown
it in a little butter, cooking it to the degree of doneness you like.
Then sprinkle the top of the meat patty so it is white with salt, black
with pepper, yellow with dry mustard and red with paprika. ^ Now
swoosh the meat—right over the seasonings—with a square of soft
butter and let the butter ooze down into the skillet. (Naturally no salt
or pepper are edded to the beef before cooking this way.) Remove
the patty to a hot platter. Add a little water—two or four table
spoons is usually right—to the skillet and stir well; boil up and poui
over the meat. Serves three.

Moslem Charily Aids Poor
In Jerusalem 400 Years
By WILTON WYNN
JERUSALEM, (AP) — Hun
dreds of street waifs and widows
receive their daily bread in Jeru
salem today because charity ranks
with holy war among Moslem vir
tues.
A free soup-kitchen set up over
400 years ago as an act of atone
ment by a Turkish conquerer fol
lowing a bloody invasion of Pala-
ytine still doles food to the city’s
poor.
The Ottoman Turkish Conquerer
Multan Selim engaged in a terrible
slaughter when he marched into
Israel in the 15th century. But
after his conquest, he sought to
atone for the bloodshed by acts
of chai'ity in Jerusalem. His wife
Sultana Khasgieh joined him in his
project.
They endowed the “tekia Khas
gieh”, as the kitchen is called,
using funds from a tax on several
Turkish villages which the Sultan
controlled.
Now the “tekia” is one of several
charities supported by religious en
dowments.
The “tekia” opens its doors regu
larly at 11 a.m. The long line of
■he poor file into a room where
Sheikh Jamil Younes Husseini doles
out nutritious wheat soup which
is the “tekia’s” regular fare.
Moslem shiekhs in charge of the
“tekia” say this daily act of char
ity has been carried out contin
uously since the time ol Sultan
Selim except for a fpw weeks dur
ing World War I.
Grain was so scarce then that
none was left for the poor. After
a time, however, the general of the
Turkish army in Jerusalem di
verted enough supplies from his
troops to allow the kitchen to re
sume its work.
Although little known to the
Western world, the “tekia” is a
common institution in Islamic
countries and has been ever since
the Prophet Mohamed listed alms
giving as one of the pillars of the
Moslem faith. There is a large
“tekia” in nearby Hebron, and they
are found in the larger Moslem
centers like Damascus and Cairo.
High Hopes
DES MOINES (AP)—Two small
signs facing the street from a yard
in the Des Moines residential dis
trict say: “I want to be a lawn.”
Although most Aggies know the
P. L. Downs natatorium is named
after the well-known “Pinky”
Downs, there are perhaps a good
many who don’t know the full
story as to how the natatorium
was named.
It all started back in the 1930’s
when the natatorium was being
built. Pinky, then on the board
of directors, noticed that the pool
was to be 50 feet by 100 feet.
Taking a tape measure, Pinky
travelled to Austin where he no
ticed with dismay that the univer
sity of Texas pool was the same
measurements. He immediately
proposed that the measurements
of the A&M pool be changed to
60 feet by 100 feet.
He was quickly told that it
would cost $1,000 per foot which
would run the cost up $10,000.
Rising to defend his position,
Pinky grabbed the first thought
that came into his mind and ex
plained that the pool had to be
Sgt. Adams Wins
National Honors
Sfc. Floyd R. Adams, military
science instructor here, and winner
of more than 50 marksmanship
awards in United States and over
seas competition, has added addi
tional laurels to his growing list
of marksmanship achievements.
After defeating numerous Fourth
Army contestants at Fort Hood,
Texas, for a berth on the Fourth
Army team, Adams and his team
mates journeyed to the National
Match competition at Camp Perry,
Ohio, where he and other Fourth
Army marksmen met some of the
best marksmen in the United
States. The National Match com
petition is the “World Series” of
competitive marksmanship. This
year more than 1,000 individuals
fired the courses with Army teams
annexing most of the individual
and team awards.
Adams, who has been assigned
to the Army ROTC unit at A&M
since September 1, 1954, was a
member of the Fourth Army .2£
caliber pistol team that took second
place in the expert class. The team
fired a score of 1127 out of 1200.
The nation-wide matches opened
with individual contests with the
.22, .38 and .45 caliber pistols.
Adams won five awards for his
excellence in this highly competi
tive field.
Adams is a veteran of 13 years
in the Army. He has served in
Berlin, Korea and Fort Hood,
Texas, where he was a member of
the 3632d Ordnance Company.

wider because “the boys will want
to play water polo, you know,”
he said, never having seen a water
polo game in his life. “They’ve got
to have room enough to swim those
horses, in there.”
Needing a more substantial
reason, Pinky, argued that it was
worth $10,000 any day to have
anything at A&M 10 feet bigger
than it was at the University of
Texas.
His argument must have been
convincing since the P. L. Downs
natatorium measures 60 feet by
100 feet.
Teenager
Discovers
Antibiotic
IOWA CITY, Iowa — (JP)
At age 17, Suzan Hopkins is
experimenting with an anti
biotic she discovered herself
in earth-worms.
Suzan isolated the antibiotic in
research carried on in her own
home and East High School, Wa
terloo, Iowa, where she’ll be a sen-
ion this fall.
This summer she’s continuing
her research at the State Univer
sity of Iowa’s College of Medicine,
at the invitation of Dr. lam Mac-
lean Smith, assistant professor of
internal medicine. The Black Hawk
County Medical Society and Wa
terloo Courier are paying her ex
penses.
Whether the antibiotic is new,
or will have medical uses are still
to be determined.
Dr. Smith declares Suzan’s “in
terest and enthusiasm exemplify
the scientific cunosity which we
know the country needs in young
people today.”
Suzan has had only one science
course, chemistry, but has read
extensively in science on her own.
She began her research with a
simple question: An earthworm
digs and eats dirt, which prob
ably contains germs. Does the
worm possess some antibiotic or
chemical protecting it?
She found it does contain an an
tibiotic that halts growth of at
least certain types of germs. Then
she extracted the antibiotic.
