Preparing the Salad.
rom the London Globe


Expert advice on the making Of salads
was given by Hermann Sem. described as
a master OF his subject" at the Horti-
cultural Hall recently.
According to this authority all salad
plants must be thoroughly washed. but
not soaked. Then they must be drained
and torn. not cut, into shreds. Above ALL
he urged. never cut up the materials
with a steel knife. When the shredding
is accomplished put the whole into a
salad basket or into q cloth and swing
thoroughly to remove the superfiuous
moisture. Dressing should be done as
near as possible to the time when the
salad Is required for the table.
Mr.. Sem added: "A good way to flavor
with garlic is to place a piece OF toasted
bread In the salad bowl, cut piece Of
garlic and rub the toast with il. That
Is all: You then place the salad on
top of the bread. and ii acquires just
the delicate soupcon Of garlic which Is
desired

Liquidation Continues.

Liquidation of United States Steel in
creased as the price made its way to 80.
Thousands of shares were pressed for
sale and a block of 4.5oO shares was sold
when it reached 20. This transaction was
followed by the purchase of 100 shares
at 5ois and then a block of 400 shares
forced IL back to 30. This figure seemed
to be the crucial point at which the bull
forces were massed, for the price climbed
steadily thereafter through all offerings
10 51as.
With the turn of the tide in United
States Steel the rest of the market be-
san to gather strength, but the recoveries
were only fractional. and when United
States Steel reacted to SOS the rise else

Large amounts of the speculative bonds
were sold. One block of S2S5.G0O OF
