WAY TO MAKE PAlATABlE
TOUGH AND OILY SEA GULL
Cant. C. E. Johnston Of Revenue Cut
ter Service Proves to Be
a Good Chef.

Capt. C. E. Johnston OF the revenue
cutter service has proved himself to be
as good a chef as he is a naval COM
mander, for the revenue cutter service
officials today gave out his recipe tor
cooking in palatable fashion the tough
and oily sea gull. the elder duck, murre
and similar sea fowl. Capt. Johnston's
culinary discovery was made On his re-
cent cruise on the cutter Seneca this
spring, during the ice patrol Of the trans
atlantic lanes Of travel.
Giving all due credit to William Land
GRAFT, cabin steward Of the Seneca, Capt.
Johnston recommends the following recipe
to those who may desire to adopt sea
fowl diet:
'eThe birds must hang In the feather
three days, then be drawn and skinned
and soaked in fresh water three days.
On the third day a tablespoonful OF
vinegar Is added to each quart Of
water For Ave or six birds. season with
one onion, two cloves. two bay leaves.
six whole black pepper berries, two
tablespoonful Of vinegar and salt to
taste. Cover and let simmer until water
has evaporated. Serve"
As a matter OF fact, the discovery OF
how to cook the fowls in appetizinE fash
ion is regarded highly by the officials,
for II will insure the crews OF the cutters
a wider range OF food supplies than they
have had In the past.

Ohio river cities to distflery centers In
Kentucky; also the validity of the Nc

cision on the Indiana rate case involving
| the validity OF class rates on freight De-
Tween Indianapolis and towns In Indiana
along the Vandalia railroad. The rail-
road contends the Indiana railroad COM
mission has fixed the rates so low as TO
confiscate it's property.
| The court is also expected to announce
early in the term it's decision in the long
pending ''intermountain rate case. Inc

given certain Pacific coast cities lower
