CREAM SOUP
Savory Dish.

Here is a recipe for Hungarian goul-
ash, given to me by friend Of my son.
It was prepared by Hungarian must
clan for q few of his friends after an
entertainment they gave in our town;
HUNGARIAN GOULAsa.
Cut a pound Of ineh-thick steak into
inch cubes; line the bottom OF a skillet
with sliced onions and place the meat
cubes upon this. after they have been
rinsed once in cold water, then in hot
pour IN enough cold water TO prevent
the meat from burning and cook slowly.
In half an hour add a cupful of toma-
toes one OF parsnips, sliced fine, or car
rots-in fact, any vegetable that comes
TO hand. Cook slowly until the meat
is tender and the vegetables are not
recognizable. Season IT with salt and
pepper thicken with Drowned -four
when you have let it get almost dry.
adding water until you have a rich
brown gravy. Pour over slices OF toast
and serve.

This recipe is so unlike others for the
preparation of the national dish, I am
forced 20 the conclusion that the Hun
garian cooks call freely upon their i'm
acinations in getting up goulssh for
home an6 foreign customers. This is a
most saVory beef stew, such as the New
England housewife Of the olden time
delighted to dish to her farmer-hus-
band and sons on cold days. We thank
you forsit.

\ Governors Nnnsion,


 Some of our esteemed contpmpora- ries are taking with religious serious ness the suggestion of a minor query in the American, asking why the state of Connecticut should not like other states provide an official home for it's governor, The query, having brought out these serious answers, has accom- plIshed it's original purpose, The Hart ford Courant thinks that an official hone would lay upon the governor the responsibility of entertaining. and, hence, he would feel obligated to en- certain, thus shutting out poor man from the office But are poor men ever elected governors in Connecticut? The only recent instance we recall is Gov ernor Woodruff, and he Ia only in com parHtlNe terms a poor man. The New Haven Journal Courier argues that there is no official society to demand official entertainment. as the army or navy or a diplomatic corps; hence, no need of official entertaining, or an of fetal mansion in which to entertain, This. of course, applies to other states as well as Connecticut. Per contra, il governor, who like MT. LlleE, secures an official mansion and meets the mem bers of the legislature and others of political influence socially, gets good deal nearer 10 them and can accomplish q good deal more than if their re lations were purely official II is foo bad that our governors are obliged, In order to carry out important executive policies, to resort to this kind of meth cd to exercise influence, Connecticut governor, like any other governor. should have at least a veto power. On the other hand 1t IS also too bad to con1ne the privilege of entertaining to very rich governors It might be worth while for the state Co put all governors on an equality regardless of whether they are rich or poor in abll- fly to exercise this influence,

BUREAU EMBARRASSED
Federal Immigration Commission
 Financially In Deep Water.

Washington, Nov. 29-Congress will face deficit in the immigration fund because of the extraordinary expen- dtures by the immigration commission, which has been carrying on it's work under an indefinite appropriation The money to defray expenses of the corn- mission, which has been conducting in- vestigations into all phases of the im- migration question: has been drawn from the regular immigration fund
 When authority for this procedure was given by congress to the commits sion 1t was not anticipated that the eK- penses would be heavy enough to em- barrass tho bureau of immigration of the department of commerce and labor. Last year the commission expended about s75O0O which included the ex- penses of the members who travelled abroad The fund already has been overdrawn and the shortage at the end of the year will amount, It is said, to about a1eOo0o.
