DRESS UP
YOUR SALAD
BY BlppY BYE.

~ StSSh
Salads, the boon of hot days, need
to be dressed up with every inviting
trimming the ruler of the kitchen can
think of, as they appear-as they
should-with almost every meal. And
these trimmings or garnishes should
be edible as well as decorative. 1t is
mistake to introduce as garnish
something entirely foreign to the ma.
terials In the salad. Everything should
combine to make wholesome food, at
tractive both to palate and eye.
Many kinds of vegetables make the
finest sort of garnishes when used with
other foods with which they combine
well. Lettuce, the "old reliable" gar
nish, is always 100 per cent. founda-
ton for any salad. Then, there is eel
cry. That adds flavor to almost any
kind of salad. Eggs, hard boiled, ana
cut in varying shapes and slices give
rich color and taste, both. Olives
have long been fayorites, especially
when stuffed with red peppers, to give
a color effect of red and green. BY
the way, all the peppers red, green and
Spanish peppers, or plmentos, are I'M
failing when color Is the problem.
Theyican be cut in many fancy shapes.
While It is in mind. Malaga grapes
should be mentioned. OF course many
times they form part Of the actual
salad. Just as often they are
wanted. to add their own peculiar col
or shade to the green of the lettuce,
and possibly contrasting shade of
the salad. For instance, stuffed
prune salad-stuffed with walnuts,
preferably@s frightened and light
ened dozen times, by careless bor-
der of Malaga grapes.
For other dark salads, or light ones
such as potato or apple salad, ordi-
nary parsley is the easiest and prob
ably the most attractive garnish, after
all. And It's flavor, added to the salad
flavor, will hold its own before all con-
testants.
Above all, when once the taste ques-
ton Is disposed of, and color is all
that remains, do NOT try to tumble
mixture of all possible colors on one
plate. AS in all the other forms OF art
where color features, the best Is sim.
pie. Try two or three shades of the
same color or two colors contrasting
with each other, but not too loudly.
And when it is finished, have the dish
dainty, and presenting one clear idea,
not mixture OF many.

COMPARED TO
DON QUIXOTE
President Wilson's League of Nations
Dream Is Attacked In Ad-
dress by Senator
New

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-"Presi-
dent Wilson's dream of the actualities
of the league of nations are scarcely
less visionary than the hallucination
of Don Quixote," Senator New. In
diana, declared today in the senate In
advocating adoption Of the Johnson
amendment to the treaty.
New also announced he will vote for
all the other amendments and all the
reservations reported by the majority
of the foreign relations committee.
New asked what objections could be
legitimately urged against the John
son amendment giving the United
States a league vote equal to Great
Britain's votes. President Wilson's
statement that Great Britain cannot
out vote this nation SIS no more accu-
rate than others he has made upon his
present tour" New said.
"Nor do 1 think that the president
has been at all times happy In his
comparisons" New continued. For
instance, in one Of the speeches made
on his western trip, he told his audi
ence that the league is insurance
against warm his opinion, SO per
cent uC auuCu ShA"e -
it were only ten percent, he would
favor it.
"Do fire insurance policies prevent
fire? Fire is prevented not by insur-
ance but by the care of the owners
and tenants of the property. II insur:
ance does not prevent fire, what does
it do? It distributes the loss. That IS
Just what the league of nations will
surely do.
ut will not prevent war, either 80
percent or 10 percent and the presi'
dent himself has admitted its fallibil-
ity in this particular. 1t is more apt
to cause war, but 1t will of certainty
distribute the losses. The losses are
distributed under this league, not IN
proportion to the risk OF war but IN
proportion to wealth and population. =
New said that holding the views l
do, it would be. treason to vote to rat
ify the treaty in its present form.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The New

today said:
Trading in today's stock market

no great animation, with the trend
of prices favoring the downward side
for the most part. 1t was not so
much a case of weakness in any par
ticular quarter as of general neglect,
some realizing and absence demand
on part of the short.
The stock list was not by any
means lacking in strong spots nor
was trading wanting IN strong In
tervals. U. S. Steel again got above
1O4, although it ruled around 1O3.
Bethlehem B opened nearly a point
higher and then eased away a point
ior so. The equipments were soft.
The feature in the last hour was
further strength in the higher priced
tobaccos shares, including American
Tobacco which crossed 300.
