Cooking Lore of Faraway Lands National Dishes Which Will Interest Houswives of American Homes (Correspondence to The Gazette) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Hot weather isn't particularly conducive to inspiration or invention, particularly in cooking which always has to be done where there is a fire—a process of literally carrying coals to Newcastle, and hot ones in the bargain. There comes a time in every cook's life when she has tried all the dishes ever thought of and when there seems to be nothing new under the sun. Delightfully New Dishes At such a time the Bureau of Home Economics suggests an excursion into the cookery lore of other countries. The Orient, the Scandinavian countries, Europe and Asia—all have interesting national dishes that are delightfully new to the average American palate. At first glance—or taste—the ingredients may seem as foreign as the name by which the dish is known, but a closer inspection usually reveals familiar meat and vegetable standbys. If strange ones are included, there are usually similar products on the home markets. The clever cook knows when to substitute. Tricks of Cooking Most of the difference in the dishes of other lands result from seasonings and tricks of cookery. Native dishes are inexpensive, as a rule, and easy to make. The recipes of the Armenians and Turks are especially good examples. Their casserole of lamb with egg plant and leeks could be duplicated any place in this country without difficulty. World's Largest Dirigible Nearest Finishing touches are being put on the Akron, which will show the three fins in place and the outer covering being applied 105 feet in length. The Akron is 785 feet long and weighs 221,000 besides its own weight. Mrs. Hoover will christen the airship by Oelke Bros. Take Look at East Brothers Herb and Carl Oelke returned Wednesday from a five-week motor tour through the South, East and Mid-west, glad "to be back where the smile of good fortune as well as the Tricks of Cooking Most of the difference in the dishes of other lands result from seasonings and tricks of cookery. Native dishes are inexpensive, as a rule, and easy to make. The recipes of the Armenians and Turks are especially good examples. Their casserole of lamb with egg plant and leeks could be duplicated any place in this country without difficulty. Yet its taste is distinctive. When the onion has no place in one of these national family dishes, there is usually a hint of garlic, a dash of cayenne pepper, or a pinch of unexpected sugar which accounts for the subtle and foreign flavor. Naturally this does not refer to the costly and delicious concoctions achieved by chefs in world renowned restaurants. Great chef devise dishes complicated in preparation and content. Such cooking demands trained and experienced hands and heads. The Danish Cooks The Danish people frequently boil several vegetables together in the same pot, but they—like the cooks of other nations—a caution against overcooking. They suggest boiling until "just tender," so the vegetables will be firm as when they grew in the garden. The Orientals offer this same gentle reminder, and they also caution against covering the green vegetables while they are cooking to prevent the color from changing. As one goes southward, the cooking seems to get richer. Southern Europe usually prefers more sweets and spices than do the northern countries. The Spanish, for instance, prefer their meats cooked with spices and sweets. Consequently our southern hams and those served south of the Pyrenees are similar. Use of Sour Cream Sour cream can not usually be included in a discussion of low cost foods, but frequently it is a home produced food for persons in the country. In that case it could be added to dishes after the manner of the Russians, French and Basques who use it with soups and with fruits, and as a spread for hot cakes. Many native dishes of foreign lands, however, call for the use of the oven. So, for a hot weather suggestion, we have gone to the Orient for a dish which is not, in fact, native to China, though most of its ingredients are to be found in true Chinese dishes. It has one decided hot weather advantage—it can be cooked entirely on top of the stove. And even with the Occidental substitutions it has the tang of Oriental cookery, and is prepared according to the method invented by the Emperor Pow Hay So about the year 3000 B.C. Heritage From Confucius Oelke Bros. Take Look at East Brothers Herb and Carl Oelke returned Wednesday from a five-week motor tour through the South, East and Mid-west, glad "to be back where the smile of good fortune as well as the warming smile of Old Sol" mark Southern California, and Orange county in particular, as one of the most prosperous places in the country. Leaving Anaheim early in June, the brothers motored through Southern Arizona, New Mexico and into Texas, where they reported excellent wheat crops in some regions. They then went to Arkansas and thence to Tennessee, both these states being "burnt almost to a crisp" by the unmerciful summer sun. Carl speaking; "We saw hundreds upon hundreds of vacant business buildings in New York City. The new Empire State building, the tallest in the world, isn't much more than one-tenth rented. There is a lot of ground-floor space still vacant. The tendency seemed to be vacating the older buildings for the new, however. "Pennsylvania looked the best of any state outside California. The crops appeared to be good, and business better than in many other sections. Throughout Ohio, Wisconsin, Western Indiana, the crops were scorched by the heat. Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and even certain parts of Central California are dry as dust. There was a great deal of unemployment and empty buildings up San Francisco way. Yes, Southern California is the most fortunate of any of the territory through which we traveled, and Orange county the cream of the best districts." SLOT MACHINES SEIZED Having unraveled legal barriers which were in his way, Sheriff Jackson has again begun the suppression of slot machines wherever they may be found in illegal operation. The revival of the sheriff's campaign was started when he and two deputies swooped down upon Balboa and seized five machines and arrested six alleged operators—Joe Cotter, H. Leonard, W. F. Ireland, C. W. Campbell, Ralph Burt and Karl Zorn. Upon arrival at the county jail, they were released on $100 cash bond each, posted by Henry Foust, owner of a number of machines operated over the county. COURAGE Some surprise has been that young men wealthy enseagoing yachts should harege to call their own craft race from Newport, R. L., England, especially over the northern route. This surpasses by newspapers and individual gard courage as an attributo tho-called "working class That is a peculiarly Amorof view. We have come to man who does no useful work on inherited wealth, as a fofof person, unfit to associate men." The fact is that courage to do with wealth, occupatus status. Brave men are to verywhere.

Blind the edges with some firm but lightweight material, the same that the pantiles are made from, and you have a sun suit that merits its name but is inexpensive. To pan yellow summer squash, cut it in quarter slices, flour them, and brown in butter in a heavy skillet until they are tender and deep gold in color. Don't put fresh raw pineapple in a fruit gelatin mixture. It contains a substance that prevents the gelatin from solidifying. Cooked or canned pineapple can be used in such mixtures, however. Fresh pineapple should never be served with soft custard. It will change the flavor of the custard and make it bitter. Don't put hot foods in the refrigerator. Cool them first to room temperature. Don't use ice to cool such things as the tops of carrots, or thick paper on parcels from the market. Don't waste ice storing vegetables for a short time if you are going to use them immediately. Good ventilation and plenty of sunlight are two good preventives of mildew which makes its appearance simultaneously with hot weather. Bad stains are almost hopeless but slight fresh ones usually answer to treatment. A slight stain usually washes out in the laundry and if it does not, several bleaching agents are available for white clothes. These include lemon juice, Javelie water, potassium permanganate, oxalic acid, and sour milk. The method of applying these is described in the Department of Agriculture's bulletin on stain removal. New U.P. League Makes a Survey 2,953 Employees Help Support Schools, County and State Government The newly formed Employes Booster League of the Union Pacific in Southern California totaling 2953 workers is among the principal providers of financial support for the schools of the state as well as the county and state government. It was shown in a survey just completed by the league. One of Largest of Kind This organization is one of the largest of its kind in the transportation field. It has been brought about through the loss of business to unregulated forms of transportation and the seriousness of railroad business. A sincere effort to regain this business as an act to promote employment is the principle of the league. For the past ten years the average annual expenditure of the Union Pacific in Southern California has totaled $10,-957,513. Taxes paid here by the railroad in 1930 amounted to $1,180,484. Employees, who received $5,447,150 in wages annually, pay an additional sum on the 1345 homes owned by them in Southern California. Strikes at Every Home "Lack of support of the travel and ship by rail movement," the league statement says, "strikes directly at every home in the state. Not only will the loss of business by the railroads mean curtailment of man power and its resultant reduction of purchasing power, but in addition is a direct reflection possible in tax receipts. To the extent of maintaining the high standards of schools in Southern California the interest of the average citizen in returning business to the railroads is just as great as that of the employees." TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE OURAGE Some surprise has been expressed that young men wealthy enough to own mooring yachts should have the courage to call their own craft in the ocean since from Newport, R. L., to Plymouth, England, especially over the dangerous northern route. This surprise is voiced by newspapers and individuals who regard courage as an attribute solely of the so-called "working class." That is a peculiarly American point of view. We have come to regard the man who does no useful work, but lives in inherited wealth, as a feminized sort person, unfit to associate with "heen." The fact is that courage has nothing to do with wealth, occupation or social status. Brave men are to be found everywhere. OLD The great gold reef in South Africa, known as The Rand, is still producing prolifically as ever, according to a recent report of the company which operates this, the world's largest gold mine. Since gold was discovered in the valley which the Boors called "Witatersrand," in 1886, more than five million dollars of the precious metal has been taken out of this one group of mines. Two hundred thousand native workers and 22,000 whites are employed in the mines, which are now down 7,000 feet below the surface and show no sign of petering out. So long as the world's trade is carried on with money which represents gold—and no other kind of money is of value in international commerce—there is need for a constant fresh supply of the metal. SERVICE The suggestion that Atlee Pomerene, former United States senator from Ohio, shall run for Congress in the Cleveland district where he lives, where there is a vacancy to be filled, brings up one difference between public life in this country and Europe. On the other side when a man embarks on a career of public service he usually remains in it, regardless of whether he keeps on climbing the ladder from one office to a higher one. If he loses his seat in the British Cabinet he is content to continue as an ordinary member of parliament. Thus at the present time there are two former prime ministers in the House of Commons, Lloyd George and Stanley Baldwin. Two men who had been president of the United States served later in Congress; John Quincy Adams in the House of Representatives and Andrew Johnson in the Senate. Theodore Burton of Ohio, after being a senator went back to the House, to be elected Senator again later. But the usual American custom is to retire from public life rather than take a "lower" office than the one last held. HAPPINESS Dr. C. E. K. Mees, research director of the Eastman Kodak company, thinks people were happier as a rule when they had fewer modern improvements. Of course, Dr. Mees is right. Happiness has nothing to do with money, possessions or comfort. Nobody can confer happiness; it must come from within one's self. These things which we lump under the general term of "improvements" merely give the individual more time in which to pursue happiness. All of those things do not make happiness, however. The only source of happiness is in fitting one's self into the social scheme in such a way as neither to interfere with the lives of others nor to be interfered with by others, and to find something congenial with which to occupy one's leisure time. And that is, I am convinced, easier to do now than it ever was before. A swim before dinner is the greatest appetizer. Strikes at Every Home "Lack of support of the travel and ship by rail movement," the league statement says, "strikee directly at every home in the state. Not only will the loss of business by the railroads mean curtailment of man power and its resultant reduction of purchasing power, but in addition is a direct reflection possible in tax receipts. To the extent of maintaining the high standards of schools in Southern California the interest of the average citizen in returning business to the railroads is just as great as that of the employees." This organization is attempting to regain the lost business to truck lines paralleling the railroad. Officials and employees realize the motor truck fills a definite need in a field of its own, that will promote business for both carriers. Affairs at Nation's Capital (Correspondence to The Gazette) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Kansas' crop, which is again beyond any expectations, has had an immediate effect in sending the price of wheat down still more, until the old fetish of dollar wheat has been lost sight of in the fact that almost four bushels can be bought for that figure. The Department of Agriculture, which urged lessened production at the start of this year, only to have its admonition go unheeded, now says that wheat will go still lower next year unless a thirty per cent reduction is planted. Political observers here assert wheat has ceased to be a concern for politicians and has moved over to the field of economics. Unless farmers cut down their acreage next year they will hardly get enough out of their 1932 crop to pay for their seed. Already there are signs that Kansas will go in more heavily for cattle, pigs and poultry next year and declare a "wheat moratorium" in order to allow demand to catch up with supply. One measure designed to afford relief to people living outside of the great cities has been adopted by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has authorized the Post Office Department to accept parcels up to one hundred inches in height and girth. This means roughly, that parcels three feet by three feet and more than two feet thick can be mailed in zones four to eight or within 200 miles. The additional mail that will be created is expected to add $5,000,000 to postal revenues, besides creating cheap express rates for larger packages than have been mailable up to now. More direct selling from farm to consumer may result.

Left to right, flyers are Woodruff De Silva and Harvey Humphrey. Girls are Victoria Vinton and Ruth Porter. Selling by mail is steadily becoming an increasing factor in small communities and many of the big city newspapers are carrying a separate classification under "parcel post" in which farmers offer eggs and fresh poultry direct to city homes. One New Jersey woman is finding it profitable, apparently, to advertise "fresh home-cooked meals" to Detroit consumers by mail. Among the items recently noted by Jess C. Harraman, of the Post Office Department, as being offered by mail are honey, sorghum, hams, lacon, maple syrup, preserves, jellies, broilers and squabs. Fishermen are also selling huge quantities of fish, lobsters and other ocean products by parcel post. Many farmers are becoming prosperous through this method, it is pointed out in the report. The president's Emergency Employment Committee has released a report made to it by forty-nine of the leading soap makers in the country which shows how that industry has stabilized labor conditions. It says that only four of the reporting companies have shown a drop in the number of employees while thirteen have shown an increase. While the manufacture of soap lends itself better than most lines to stabilization, yet, the report points out, careful planning is possible in nearly every line, yielding higher returns in profits to the manufacturers and better income to the workers. A. A. BROCK REAPPOINTED The county supervisors have re-appointed A. A. Brock as county agricultural commissioner for a term of four years. He has been commissioner for over one year, coming from Ventura county in 1922. Milk cows become discouraged under executive heat, but cold even down to zero does not materially affect the milk. They are indifferent to changes in the humidity.
