provision inserted into the manpower

course of the congressman in regard
to the work or fight proposition, there

to see what objection there could be

a circle from the center of each slice
and lay on lettuce leaves.
Place in the opening of each circle
three or four asparagus tips (either
freshly cooked or canned) and dress
with the following: Half a cupful of
vegetab bic oil. the juice of half a lemon
and half an orange, one-quarter of a
teaspoonfulf each of salt and paprika,
one teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce, one teaspoonful of mixed mus

and lay on lettuce leaves
Fortunately, eggs are now fairly
reasonable in price, so that they may
be generously used in making all sal
ads. Be sure to cook twenty-five min
utes. and then cool in cold water and
chill before the shells are removed.
Treated in this way they may be cut in
even slices or quarters.
Potato Salad may also be used as
the main dish for a meal.

One-fourth pound bacon. cut into

NO MORE ENLISTMENTS?
Big List Navy Recruits Getting Anx-
ious About Navy Ban.

Scores of Topeka men are in a state
of considerable anxiety today as the
result of rather indefinite news re-
ceived here to the effect that enlist
ment in the navy and marine corps
was at an end. Whether or not this
means that positively no more volun-
teers will be accepted is not yet known,
the local navy recruiting office having
received no orders as yet
Shipfitter A. w. Hierholtzer was ex-
pected to return from Kansas City this
morning with full details regarding
the future policy of the government
with respect to the navy, but he did
not arrive. There are nearly IFS men
on the waiting list" at the local re-
cruiting office who have passed their
examinations and are ready to be sent
to Kansas City soon as the ban
which was placed on recruiting until
the passage of the new manpower bill
is lifted.
In case recruiting is absolutely dis
continued and dates from the time the
ban was placed, the IT'S men now on
the waiting list probably would not be
accented Their examination at the
local office does not actually constitute
an enlistment, alt1o after taking the
examination and signing up they
would be compelled to go IL they are
accepted under the provisions of the
new ruling believed to have gone Into
effect.
