Ordinance the Government is acting
upon he request of the Bench and Bar,
who feel that a change of Title / and 3
is desirable. | feel that Members of
this Council will realize the need for this
change in the Code. The Government
is very much interested in rhe proposed
Ordinance.
End Appointed Member (NoI) remark
{ Mr. Chairman. | might state that
it is unnecessary to go into the history
Of trying to establish the judiciary on
this Island, that's a matter that has
been before the Council several times
during the past four years, The present
ordinance has been recommended by all
the members of the bar, except one who
does not concor that there should be one
judge for all the islands. | personally
think now as | did two years ago. that
one jud-o can ably and efficiently con-
duct all IF the District Court bust
ness that will ever exist on these three
islands, We had last week a Term of
the district Court and it is already closed
at FrederikSted; there were no cases
pending, and | know That no jurymen
wo~ empaneled, the business amounted
to one day of Court in each town, which
shows that, so far as efficiency and abb
lily goes, one man can travel the cir
cult of this Court. This draft provides
for a Commissioner who will have power
to do routine matter during the absence
of the Jude; this is not new. ] took the
responsibility of not recommending the
commissioner, but after observing the
working OF the new code of laws for a
year, | thought the necessity would
exist. AS far as | can see, so TAR As the
conduct of the Court is concerned, 1t is
to be done speedily and efficiency. There
are some remedies which cali for quick
action so that when the commissioner is
introduced, if the Judge is absent, and
quick action is necessary, there will be
a commissioner to act before the Judge
returns. AS to the matter Of costs, IN
der the present organization the Judge,
Clerk and Reporter is costing this Island
Ten Thousand Two Hundred Dollars q
year, but by concentration it will cost
each island half that mount. 1t seems
to me while the efficiency will be equal,
justice will be dispatched quickly. All
the arguments | have heard today is
economy. | might also add that this
ordinance also calls for additional nota-
ries public; much more notaries public
are required; there was not great de-
mand in the past for notarieS, but today,
the number Of documents, when COM
pared with two yeaas ago is a hundred
times more.

A WOMAN TELLS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING


All of the way downtown that
frenzied fear kept gnawing at me.
Why should | attach any import
ance to the fact that a little up
stairs girl was out in the afternoon
at a time when she had a perfect
right to be out so far as l knew? /
knew that | was unreasonable. but
is lover never reasonable?
With the sight Of Toms office
building, [ felt d certain self-posses-
sion returning.
As ! looked up toward the window
| caught a glimpse Of a mans figure.
Was he looking down? l waved.
And then | wondered if he had seen
and answered, and if the fine smile
was playing over the corner of his
mouth.
The elevator seemed to crawl up
the six floors
I hurried out and toward Toms
Office. Pushing through the outer
door, l found the ante-room empty.
But suddenly | heard the low muir
muir of voices from Toms private
office.
| listened, And then it seemed
that my world suddenly grew black.
q have always cared-but long
ago felt that / could have been
nothing but a passing fancy to you"
1t was Grace's voice that heard
on the other side of the door of
Toms private office.
I turned away dizzily.
1t seemed that a giant cataclysm
had wiped out the existing order Of
things!

KITCHEN
USE VEGETABLES, DRESSING
WITH MEAT
By Sister Mar,
ONE of the cheapest cuts of bee

ONE of the cheapest cuts of beef
Is the flank steak. If this steak
is cooked carefully the tough fibers
Of the meat are softened and made
palatable There is no w:Iste by bone
or -ristlc and quite as much nour-
ishnent, as in the most expensive
cut
Most butchers take their knife and
score a flank steak before selling it
to their customer, but this is easily
done by the cook herself. Be care
full not to cut too deply and do not
pound" the meat.
Make paste cf one-half teaspoon
mustard, l teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon
sugar and about 3 tablespoons vine
gar. Spread this paste over the meat.
Put the meat in a large frying pan
and cover with an onion very thinly
sliced. Pour 1-2 cup boiling water in
one side of the pan very carefully. Do
not let the water disturb the paste
or onion. Cover closely and put in a
slow even for at least an hour and a
half. When ready to serve, dot with
butter and sprinkle with minced
parsley.
There will be absolutely no taste
Of vinegar or mustard, but the meat
will he very tender The vinegar is
|. used to soften the tough fibers rather
than to give flavor.
Another way to cook a flank steak
is to spread it with the same vinegar
paste. cover it with bread stuffing,
roll it up and tie it. Then bake it in
slow oven for the same length of
time.
Stuffing
One and one-half cups stale bread
crumbs, 2 tablespoons melted butter,
IA teaspoon pepper, teaspoon salt
| hot water
Mix salt and pepper with bread
crumbs. Add melted butter and mis-
with fork. Add hot water very
slowly, mixing with the hands. The
dressing should be just moist enough
to stick together but not moist
enough to be smooth and pasty
Spread this on the meat and roll III
like a jelly roll. Bake in moderate
oven for an hour and a half.
