House-Keeping of First President Washington Took a Hand in Affairs of First Two Presidential Homes (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Although Mrs. Washington is always spoken of, and no doubt with reason, as being a thorough and conscientious home-keeper, there is evidence to show according to the George Washington Bicentennial Commission, that President Washington relieved her of a considerable amount of responsibility connected with the management of the Presidential household. First Home in New York The house was in running order when she arrived in New York, a month following the first inauguration. She had remained at Mount Vernon to put that house in order for a long absence, and to collect and bring such treasures and personal belongings as were desired for their official home. The first house the Washingtonons occupied in New York City, at 3 Cherry street, near what is now one of the piers of Brooklyn bridge, soon proved too small, although partitions had been taken out between some of the rooms to make more commodious quarters for receiving. Finest House in Town When the Washingtonons leased the Macomb mansion, at 39 Broadway, it was the finest house in town, and served until they removed to Philadelphia, where they were to occupy the Robert Morris residence. Washington's letters to his secretary, Tobias Lear, at this time, show how conversant he was with the smallest detail of his household, and how he planned and arranged for everything which took place in it. The "high cost of living" caused him no end of annoyance. He complained to his secretary that he could not see how families living on $2500 or $3000 a year could entertain more company, at least more frequently, than he on $25,000. High Cost of Servants He thought the servants' table was faring altogether too well, and stated that, from the looks of the accounts, it seemed that nothing was brought to his table—the finest liquors, fruits and other luxuries—which were not used as profusely at the servants' table. He wanted, too, to know that the servants in his employ were worthy of their hire, and wrote Tobias Lear to ask if the wife of the new butler who had been engaged for the Philadelphia house, could make desserts and cakes. If she couldn't he did not propose to pay extra for her. The previous steward, Fraunces, he said, besides being an excellent cook, knew how to provide genteel dinners and give aid in dressing them, preparing the dessert, making the cake and doing everything now to be accomplished by Hyde, the new steward, and his wife together. How to Pack Porcelain Washington even gave directions on how to pack the porcelain and glass, on the disposition of the hangings and the placement of the furniture in the various rooms. He indicated the decorative pieces which were to be used in certain rooms, and ordered that hangings were to be dyed to match or harmonize with the upholstery in the chairs and sofas. That he was sensitive about being under obligation or inconveniencing friends, is indicated in an instance of this period. The Morrises wished to leave some mirrors in their drawing rooms, as they were difficult to move. Washington insisted that mirrors of equal size and beauty from their own effects be placed at the disposal of the...

The Morrises wished to leave some mirrors in their drawing rooms, as they were difficult to move. Washington insisted that mirrors of equal size and beauty from their own effects be placed at the disposal of the Morrises. Mangle In Laundry. The same arrangements was made with household appliances, such as a mangle in the laundry, which he consented to use only if one of their own of equal usefulness were given to the Morrises to use during the time they were out of their own house. Washington instructed his secretary to see to it that Mrs. Washington always had plenty of money, admonishing him to inquire if she needed any, "as she is not fond of applying." This trait alone would in the opinion of women of all ages qualify him for the title of Model Husband. DEATH OF MRS. REESOR Mrs. Sophia Reesor, wife of Theodore Reesor, died at her home, 419 North Claudina street, last Sunday, the funeral service being held at the Backs. Terry & Campbell chapel Tuesday afternoon. Burial will be at Salt Lake City. Mrs. Reesor was a native of England and had lived in California for the last six years. She is survived by Mr. Reesor.

Center Street ANAHEIM Over 35 Ways to Serve Corn Meal And Then There Are Some for Hominy, All Good and Cheap Food (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—More than 35 different and inexpensive ways of serving corn meal have been collected and developed by the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture. In addition to these there is a smaller group of recipes for the various kinds of hominy, which is the name for whole or ground corn after the bran and germ have been removed. Since cereals occupy so important a position in the low cost dietary this information is of most value to persons whose food budget is limited. America's Own Cereal. Any one food, which must be eaten frequently, is bound to become monotonous unless the manner of serving it is varied, the bureau's experts say. This is especially true of cereals which have so little flavor in themselves. But when they are combined with other more highly flavored foods, cereals can be used in many different ways. In fact they may serve as a breakfast dish or as a dessert as well as being the basis for many appetizing main dishes for the dinner or supper. Corn might be termed America's own cereal for it is native to this hemisphere. Other English speaking countries use "corn" to designate all cereals in general and speak of "maize" when they mean the "corn" which the first settlers in this country learned, from their Indian neighbors, how to grow and prepare. Dellicious Corn Bread. No Pocket Weapon S. B. Fann, of Tennessee, shot in the national rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio., with an eight-foot muzzle loader. Ocean Front Camp on Elaborate Scale A private camp on an elaborate scale is in the offing for Huntington Beach according to reports, the project being promoted by private interests. It is said that negotiations are under way with the owners of three miles of ocean front between Huntington and Newport, with the intention of developing a beach front camp on a big scale. Owners of the land say that negotiation An exceptionally strong demand for California lemons has prevailed in all sections of the country during the past six weeks, with lemon prices reaching their peak during the week ending September 26, according to T. H. Powell, lemon sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. During the early part of October the market showed a rise due to cooler weather in the large consuming centers and heavier supplies. Average prices, however, still continue well above the average of most previous years. Exchange shipments of lemons during September were slightly heavier than average September shipments for the past four years. "Indications are that October lemon picks this year will be heavier than during any October in the past four years, except in 1930," stated Mr. Powell. "Picks of Exchange lemons during September exceeded expectations by approximately 200 cars due to the high market, which encouraged the picking of smaller eaters." Lemon storage at this time is slightly below the average for the past four years. Wounded Deer Left to Die Shot gun hunters have wounded many deer in the northern part of the state, according to reports to the Division of Fish and Game. The carcasses of the animals have been found by sportsmen, and indications show that in many cases the animals perished after much suffering. It is said. While laws seem not to have been necessary to prevent this type of deer hunting, every effort is being made to discourage the practice, division officials said. The state officials also declare that sportamen will undoubtedly cooperate in eliminating the use of this type of gun from the big game field and that success will not only prevent great losses in deer population, but will also prevent much suffering among used in many different ways. In fact they may serve as a breakfast dish or as a dessert as well as being the basis for many appetizing main dishes for the dinner or supper. Corn might be termed America's own cereal for it is native to this hemisphere. Other English speaking countries use "corn" to designate all cereals in general and speak of "maize" when they mean the "corn" which the first settlers in this country learned, from their Indian neighbors, how to grow and prepare. Delicious Corn Bread. Although wheat is more generally used for making bread, many delicious breads and cakes can be made from corn meal and hominy. And as for cost, corn preparations are among the more economical of the common foods. Two pounds for five cents is the average price per pound by bulk for both corn meal and hominy in most parts of the country. When packaged, the price is usually five cents or more per pound. Hominy and corn meal can be served as a breakfast cereal that will satisfy even the most rigid devotee of the "stick to your ribs" school. The bureau suggests varying the usual methods of making corn meal mush by baking it sometimes, and on other occasions by cooking it with buttermilk or cheese. Italians Like It, Too. The Italians are especially fond of this latter method, calling their dish polenta." Polenta is often reheated with tomato sauce, a left-over meat gravy, or a savory sauce made from salt pork, bacon, or sausage, and served as the main dish for a meal. Fried corn meal mush is too well known to need comment. Some Enticing Names Many breads can be made from corn meal that are as delicious as their names are enticing. Among this group of recipes are custard corn cake, crackling bread, spoon bread, sour-milk corn bread, Southern corn muffins, spider corn bread, corn pone, South Carolina yeast corn bread, muffins, Boston brown bread, fritters, pancakes, and waffles are especially appetizing when made from corn meal for its peculiar granular consistency makes them very tender. One of the main ingredients of scrapie is corn meal, and a variation of this product can be made from mixing corn meal mush with pork or beef. Cod Fish With Corn Meal Cod fish balls made with corn meal mush are as good as they are inexpensive. A little known use for corn meal is in a batter pudding to serve with roast pork much as Yorkshire pudding is served with roast beef. Most persons know and serve Indian pudding which makes a very tasty winter dessert. This pudding may be varied by the use of fresh or dried fruits without greatly increasing its cost. Doughnuts made from corn meat are quite different from the usual variety, and molasses cake, ginger bread, and fruit gems are some of the casses of the animals have been found by sportsmen, and indications show that in many cases the animals perished after much suffering, it is said. While laws seem not to have been necessary to prevent this type of deer hunting, every effort is being made to discourage the practice, division officials said. The state officials also declare that sportmen will undoubtedly cooperate in eliminating the use of this type of gun from the big game field and that success will not only prevent great losses in deer population, but will also prevent much suffering among the animals. Latest reports from the southern legislative battlegrounds would indicate that next year the farmers, as usual will plant as much cotton as they please. Now they are talking about a world gold parley. Of course, Uncle Sam will be expected to furnish the gold and Europe the parleying. "I favor citrus c" I HEAR it said occasionally that 'two selling organizations, working in competition, would do a better job than if the entire crop were handled through the California Fruit Growers Exchange.' Cod fish balls made with corn meal mush are as good as they are inexpensive. A little known use for corn meal is in a batter pudding to serve with roast pork much as Yorkshire pudding is served with roast beef. Most persons know and serve Indian pudding which makes a very tasty winter dessert. This pudding may be varied by the use of fresh or dried fruits without greatly increasing its cost. Doughnuts made from corn meal are quite different from the usual variety, and molasses cake, ginger bread, and fruit gems are some of the other desserts which will prove especially popular with the children of the family. Uses of Hominy Hominy is less known in the North than it is in South of the Mason and Dixon line. Its use, however, is not confined to mish, by any means. The coarse hominy may take the place of a vegetable and be served either plain or browned in a little fat. Scalloped hominy and hominy turnovers are two other soldom used dishes, and cakes made from boiled hominy and cooked kidney beans can be served the same as a meat dish. Hominy date pudding and fruit scallop using stewed apricots are two desserts which belle their low cost origin and might well be included in the more liberal diets. Pop Corn for Children Another corn product, which is a favorite with children, is pop corn. It makes one of the most inexpensive and nutritious confections that can be safely given to children. If they can pop it themselves, all the better; for they get much of their delight from watching the tiny grains change into white fluffy kernels. The recipes for corn meal and hominy, as well as some for fresh corn, are included in a publication, "Corn and Its Uses as Food, Farmers' Bulletin No. 1236-F." Another, Farmers Bulletin 553-F called "Pop Corn for the Home," is also available free of charge upon request to the Bureau of Home Economics or to the Office of Information of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. Recipes for corn meal and hominy will be found in this issue of The Gazette under the heading Hints for the Home. CROSLEY PLAYTIME Here it is! A dream come true! A grandfather type A.
