To prevent curdling when making custards or other dishes that call for hot milk to be added 3 to the egg. mix sugar with the eg and not with the milk. Add hot liquids or mixtures to the beaten eg a little at a time. And remember. . .don't over cook! Basic Baked Custard Serve hot or cold with per haps one of the toppings sug gested here.

World Sugar Prices Of Minor Importance Chicago (U.R) Assurance of adequate sugar supplies in the domestic market makes the rel ative level of world sugar prices of minor importance to U. S. con sumers, a sugar dealer and econ omist said. In recent years, U. S. sugar prices have averaged about $1.85 per 100 pounds above the world price according to a study by B. W. Byer & Co. The Suez crisis in a year of small sugar supplies caused in creased demand for world sugar, and while U. S. sugar prices rose at the same time world prices went up, they held stable to the extent that for a time the world price rose at a fast enough pace to overhaul the U. S. price and pass it. Byer & Co. said the stabilizing factor is the Department of Ag riculture, which raised the 1957 U. S. sugar quota by 200.000 tons and increased domestic beet acreage allotments to provide ad ditional supply to meet the great er demand. World sugar prices fluctuated since then, but have again climbed to the U. S. price level. Byer & Co. said Cuba has given assurances, however, that it will fill its present U. S. quota and hold 506,000 short tons in re serve in order to meet all fore seeable U. S. needs. Manpower Shortage Rising in Chicago Chicago (U.R) The popula tion of Chicago may continue to increase, but the manpower shortage is rising with it. Approximately 51,000 work ers will have to be "imported" from other areas to work in Chicago between now and 1960, according to Thomas H. Coulter, an officer of the city's Associa tion of Commerce and Industry. Coulter quoted facts and figures that demonstrate the ever-increasing number of jobs to be had here. During the past year unemployment rose to four per cent throughout the nation but only two per cent in Chic ago. Because of the small number of local youths who will enter labor's ranks, an estimated 404, 000 of the needed workers will have to be attracted from other areas. "All that you can see ahead for the Chicago area is progress and success," Coulter concluded. Scientists Plan To Probe Northern Lights Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Scien tists will probe deeper into the mystery of the Northern Lights this summer as part of the Inter national Geophysical Year. Dr. Kenneth C. Clark, Univer sity of Washington physics pro fessor, said the study would be made from Fairbanks, Alaska. He said this was an ideal latitude to observe the auroral disturb ances, which usually occur close to the magnetic North Pole. Dr. Clark said the Arctic au roras provide the highest source of information available on the nature of the upper atmosphere. The light sometimes comes from as high as 1,000 miles. "By analyzing the light of the auroras, we hope to obtain fur ther information on the temper ature and composition of the up per atmosphere and learn more about how particles radiated from the sun cause these lights to be produced," the physicist explained.
