SPRING SALADS.

At this time of year most persons
have a natural hankering after salads
and all sorts of succulent green things.
Often when we imagine that we have
spring fever and that we have lost our
appetites all that is the matter is that
We need more fresh things and fewer
heavy viands. Here are some SUCCESS
tons for making spring salads:
Cucumber and Onion Salad.-Pare
cucumbers and lay in ice water one
hour. DO the same with the onions,
using another bowl To serve, slice
them in proportion of one onion to
three large cucumberS arrange in a
salad bowl. season with vinegar, pep
per and salt.
Pineapple Salad.-For dainty
luncheon there is nothing nicer than
salad made of sliced pineapple. Use one
can pineapple. half grape fruit sliced,
one tart apple cut in small cubes, one
head of lettuce. and garnish with one
small bottle maraschino cherries Serve
with French dressing or the following
special dressing: One cup of the pine
apple juice, the Juice of half grapefruit
and one-quarter cup of juice from the
maraschino cherries; this makes a
sweet dressing.
Fruit Salad.-Equal quantities of
grapefruit pulp, cubes of pineapple,
sliced bananas and white grapes form a
delicious fruit mixture. Either French
dressing or mayonnaise may be used
with it. A few whole grapes laid on
the top of the apple add to its deco
rative effect, and the whole should be
served on fresh celery twigs.

PROMISES PLENTIFUL
SUPPLY OF MEAT
Food Administration Declares Num-
Der of Animals Has Increased
More Than Six Millions.

Encourag cement to believe that meat
supplies will be more plentiful during
the coming year is held out in a state
ment issued by the Uniteu STATED Food
formation furnished by the Department.
of Agriculture. Not only has the num-
Der of animals on farms increased by
more than six millions, but those now
coming to market are heavier. This
is especially true of hogs.
The increase of 100000 in the num-
Der of meat animals for the year ended
January l last consisted of 1,247.0 900
cattle, 3,701.0t0 hogs and 1,2S4.o00
sheep. Inspections of beef for slaugh-
Ter increased 2.039,651, or 24.5 per
cent. but Inspections of hogs decreased
21.3 per cent, approximately 1900, geo
head.
The gains in availa ble meat indicated
by these figures were what caused the
food administration recently to relax
! restrictions on meat consumption, so
that there might be greater saving of
wheat for export.
Exports of all kinds of meat de-
creased during the year, due to lack
of ships.
Prices paid for meat animals were
higher than ever before. The average
price of beef advanced 22.1 per cent,
from $3.50 per 100 pounds, in 1916,
to s11-6o, in 1917. Hogs advanced from
$3.50 to s15.l0. a total of 81 per cent.
and sheep increased 40 per cent, from
s7.S5 to s11.

Storage Plant Planned.

The 18th Street Heights War Garden
Club was formed at a meeting OF
the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens
Association at the home of w n.
Holmes. 1925 Holly street, last night.
Vice President G.. W. Barnett. who
presided in the absence of President
Daniel c. Roper. was elected president
of the garden club. L. B. Scott, S. D.
Grove and Mr. Holmes were appointed
superintendents of gardens. 1t will be
the duty of the superintendents to
visit the gardens of the community dur
ing the season and to give aid and
report progress.
IL. NJ Connolly of the war garden
committee of the District council of
national defense explained to the citi-
ems the situation facing the District
this season, and the necessity for every
citizen to cultivate a garden if possible
1t was estimated that there will be
about forty gardens in the territory
of the association.
O. H. Benson, as chairman of a special
committee, reported progress on the
movement to erect community stor-
age plant for the use of members OF
the association. Under the plans resi-
dents of the community will be able
to keep vegetables in good condition
during the summer and store large
supply for the winter.
The storage plant will be divided into
compartments, according to the number
of citizens who enlist in the movement.
and each member will have his own
storage compartment.
l.. B. Scott was elected representative
of the association on the war work

The Turban of Flowers.

Although the fiat turban is worn
when it is oblong and not round, the
new tendency is toward lifting the
flowers in the middle of the crown, to
give distinction.
This may be the fashion that will
prevail after April sets in, but at the
moment the oblong turban, worn well
over the eyebrows and fitting the head,
consisting of mass of flowers and To-
iige, is very smart indeed. 1t is not
left to itself. 1t is usually trimmed
with planes of satin or velvet, which
have taken the place of wings.
The sketch shows a turban covered.
solidly, with scarlet geraniums. with a
black velvet edge at the headline and

ribbon.

blossoms of purple and yellow, and two

The Profteering Evil.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of Inc star:
Rent profiteering has not occurred in
the District of Columbia any more than
In any other place where demand has
increased. Such profiteering has been
chiefly done by tenants subletting
rather than by owners. There has
been no more profiteering in rents than
in any other commodities, including
labor also as commodity. Amateur
carpenters are said to be making Sc IA
day, for example. Any statute penaliz-
ing rent profiteering should also PEN
alize other forms of profiteering.
Women's shoes tretaiD have advanced

NEW YORK, March 12.-When the
milliners from all over the United
States met in New York to witness a
parade of the new spring hat on mani
kins, the remark that probably gained
the greatest applause was to the effect
that flowers were beginning to be fash
ionable and that every milliner should
urge their usage.
There was very smart lowered hat
worn in the audience which caused ia
vorable comment by all the other mil
liners. and there was another lowered
hat worn on the stage that created a
burst of enthusiasm. Both, l think,
were of American manufacture.
The first was a black turban covered
with panSies, which mounted into a
high pinnacle in the middle. suggestive
of those French hats of half a dozen

is reminiscent of the wax flowers under

the nineteenth century. 1t went with
the family Bible as an ornament, an i'm
