Two Labor Laws In Effect Soon Americans Only on State Work — No Wage Reductions, and Married Men Favored (Correspondence to The Gazette) SACRAMENTO—On and after August 4, two so-called labor acts become law. Strengthening the eight-hour law which has been in effect for two years, they provide for employment of American citizens only on state work except in the case of extraordinary emergency and payment of the prevailing rate of wages on public works. Bids Are Suspended Until the laws become effective, the Division of Highways has temporarily suspended the schedule advertising for bids on highway construction. Projects advertised under the existing law must be awarded before August 14 and the inclusion of the prevailing wage scales in special provisions and contracts cannot be made until the new law becomes operative. The necessary suspension of advertising to accommodate this transition covers the interim between July 9 and August 14. Announcement was made by Walter E. Garrison, director of the Department of Public Works, that the department had completed study of the two labor measures with a view of insuring their enforcement on public works. Employment of Allens On all contracts now under way, the department has had no authority nor jurisdiction under the law to prevent employment of allens or non-residents of the counties in which work was being done. While the department still cannot force any contractor to employ only local workers on state contracts, it has attempted to discourage such practice by inserting in all letters to contractors advising them of awards of contracts, these paragraphs: "The enclosed contract, like most of the other contracts we are awarding at this time, is ahead of schedule, made possible by an advance of federal aid funds by the United States government. The object is to aid the unemployment situation in every possible way and to help alleviate the present business depression." Married Men Favored "Governor Rolph is concerned with this matter and has requested me to urge you to favor married men in the employment of your labor, as the burden of hard times falls heaviest on them. In this connection, we favor the policy of employing citizens of the United States who have been residents of the State of California for at least one year, and your efforts in this regard will be appreciated. It is also urged that you expedite this work as much as possible in order to lend your efforts in the recovery of business prosperity." The new alien labor law will, of course, operate to prevent employment of allens. However, the answer to the problem of employment of residents rests with the contractor. The department finds that the general practice among contractors is to should be asked to finalize study of the statute in the home, as the movement has already done, up the various home tasks that they number at least fourty-eight hours. Over week should be paid for rate. One whole day of ignition not later than 10 tending through the even half days a week, begin than 2 p.m., week-days a day, should be allowed. Hours on and off are by whole story. The hired groom a week's vacation with his room or her own be no social stigma on her she should be treated with respect. Finally, the experts de servant problem is almost mistress problem. That ers mean better employee the home as in the office. HEATH HENS E Hope of finding a man surviving heath hen has by the Bureau of Biology Washington. The breed perish.

N gave protection to the hea of employing citizens of the United States who have been residents of the State of California for at least one year, and your efforts in this regard will be appreciated. It is also urged that you expedite this work as much as possible in order to lend your efforts in the recovery of business prosperity." The new allen labor law will, of course, operate to prevent employment of aliens. However, the answer to the problem of employment of residents rests with the contractor. The department finds that the general practice among contractors is to use local labor as far as possible, building an organization around a nucleus of their regular employees such as superintendents and foremen. WOMEN'S HOME WORK Home-making and the work of ordinary "housekeeping," is the most neglected of all vocations, according to a national committee which has started an expert study of it. Dr. Benjamin R. Andrews of Columbia goes so far as to say in the Woman's Home Companion that the problem of the home has become of such importance that Congress state heath hen reserves tha's Vineyard with a ste one birds. Within two ye had increased to 200 and 2,000.

PHONE 2414 should be asked to finance a comprehensive study of the status of the worker in the home, as the British government has already done. He has counted up the various home tasks and found that they number at least one thousand. For the maid-of-all-work he lays down the following proposed standards: "The maximum length of the working time of the worker living in a home should not exceed fifty-four hours a week, and of the worker living out forty-eight hours. Overtime in any week should be paid for at an hourly rate. One whole day of free time, beginning not later than 10 a.m. and extending through the evening, or two half days a week, beginning not later than 2 p.m. week-days and 3 p.m. Sundays, should be allowed each employe." Hours on and off are by no means the whole story. The hired girl should have a week's vacation with pay. She should have a room of her own. There should be no social stigma on her and above all she should be treated with courtesy and respect. Finally, the experts declare that the servant problem is almost equally a mistress problem. That better employers mean better employees is as true in the home as in the office or the factory. HEATH HENS EXTINCT Hope of finding a mate for the last surviving heath hen has been given up by the Bureau of Biological Survey at Washington. The breed, therefore, will perish. The lonely survivor of the species, a male, has made its home on the preserve on Martha's Vineyard, off the Massachusetts coast. Sportmen, state officials, ornithologists, representatives of the New England Federation of Bird clubs and the general public have helped in the effort to find it a mate, but all in vain. The heath hen was once a common New England game bird and rivaled the ruffed grouse in numbers. It was so plentiful that farm hands sometimes stipulated that their employers should not serve it to them more than twice a week. The bird was an easy mark for hunters, and measures soon had to be taken to safeguard it. New York first gave protection to the heath hen as earl. Goulash Started In Herdsman’s Camp Hungarian Dish Has Since Traveled Far From Hungarian Homeland (Corrrespondence to The Gazette) WASHINGTON, D. C.—To most persons the thought of Hungarian cookery immediately suggests goulash, which has extended its fame across bounda- hold their bills open and force the noodles down their throats. No Salted Butter Salted butter is alien to the Hungarian table and only the sweet variety is eaten. For cooking, lard or bacon fat is usually used and not butter, although they do have a way of cooking down the sweet butter and storing it in crocks to be used only for cooking. This is usually done in the summer when there is a surplus of butter and when it is quite cheap. Sour cream is used freely in sauces and in many dishes much as we would butter. Not so many potatoes are eaten as in this country and in their places are noodles and dumplings prepared in many different ways. The noodles may be served with the soup or as a dessert. Hungarian Dish Has Since Traveled Far From Hungarian Homeland (Correspondence to The Gazette) WASHINGTON, D. C.—To most persons the thought of Hungarian cookery immediately suggests goulash, which has extended its fame across boundaries and oceans thousands of miles from the humble camp fire of the herdsman where it originated. Though goulash is a simple shepherd's dish, it is as tasty as it is nourishing. Goulash is also the mainstay of the workers who gather in the vineyards each year to harvest the grapes, says the U. S. Bureau of Home Economics. What Hungarians Like The Hungarians are fond of well-seasoned food and freely use onions, chives, chopped parsley and always paprika in cooking. They seldom fry vegetables, but serve them frequently with a sauce made from butter and flour mixed with a little of the vegetable water, whenever they can afford to, with fresh or sour cream. They eat the same meats as we do here in the United States. Beef is always the basis of the goulash, although it usually contains pork and mutton. Buttermilk and Corn for Hogs The hogs in Hungary are carefully tended. A common ration is buttermilk and corn. Hams are frequently prepared by covering them an inch or so deep with bread dough and slowly baking them in an oven for four or five hours. This meat is one of their great delicacies. The dough becomes impregnated with the flavor of the ham, and also prevents the escape of any of the juices. But the ham must be baked very slowly or the dough will burn. Pork chops are also popular and Hungarians, especially the peasants, eat much bacon. Lamb and mutton come in for their full share on the menus of the Hungarian household. Hungarians are partial to stews, cutlets, shoulder roast and roast leg of lamb. But they always use a little garlic with lamb and mutton, and in roast of lamb bacon strips are drawn through the meat in much the same manner as a roast of beef is larded. Goose Is National Bird Goose is the Hungarian national bird as the turkey is ours, although they also have turkey as well as chickens. Even the poorest peasant family has a flock of geese which it herds carefully. The Hungarians have a practice of stuffing the geese with noodles in order to fatten them, but not quite as extensively as the Strassburg geese are fattened. For cooking, lard or bacon fat is usually used and not butter, although they do have a way of cooking down the sweet butter and storing it in crocks to be used only for cooking. This is usually done in the summer when there is a surplus of butter and when it is quite cheap. Sour cream is used freely in sauces and in many dishes much as we would butter. Not so many potatoes are eaten as in this country and in their places are noodles and dumplings prepared in many different ways. The noodles may be served with the soup or as a dessert. Sometimes they are combined with cottage cheese and butter and often with jam and butter as a dessert. For these two dishes, the noodles are brought piping hot to the table where the other ingredients are added. A preserve of cooked fresh prunes, an old and popular Hungarian standby, is frequently used for this noodle dessert. Five Meals a Day The Hungarians, in company with many other continental peoples, are fully aware of the value of the many varieties of wild mushrooms. During the season they gather them for the winter's use and a string of dried mushrooms is as familiar a sight in their kitchens and shops as the garlic plait is to the Italian's. The Hungarian fondness for mushrooms is shown by the fact that scarcely one meal is served during the fresh mushroom season without including them in some form or other. Five meals a day is the usual Hungarian custom, beginning with a simple breakfast of coffee, rolls and butter. At 10 o'clock comes a mid-morning breakfast, with dinner at noon; coffee with a bun or cake at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and supper at the end of the day. Usually no beverage is served with supper, unless perhaps, a light wine or beer. A recipe for goulash that has been tested and approved by the bureau, may be had by writing to the bureau. Valencia Juice Is Growing in Favor That Valencia orange juice is rapidly growing and spreading as America's summer drink is already known, but an effort is being made definitely to determine its popularity, by a survey that is being conducted through the assistance of six universities over the country. The survey is being conducted in the interests of Sunkist Extractor owners and will develop more detailed information on consumption of citrus drinks, costs and profits. In addition, a more intimate picture of the consumer's preference, his likes and dislikes and the reactions to various methods of serving citrus drinks will be secured through the survey and passed on to schools famous owners. GOOSE IS NATIONAL BIRD Goose is the Hungarian national bird as the turkey is ours, although they also have turkey as well as chickens. Even the poorest peasant family has a flock of geese which it herds carefully. The Hungarians have a practice of stuffing the geese with noodles in order to fatten them, but not quite as extensively as the Strassburg geese are fattened to prepare their livers for pate de foie gras. Stuffing is literally the word in this case, for they don't leave the matter of food to the appetite of the geese themselves, but catch them and use a little garlic with lamb and mutton, and in roast of lamb bacon strips are drawn through the meat in much the same manner as a roast of beef is larded.
