Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
BY BERTHA f. SHAPLEIGH
Cooking Authority for NEA Service
and Columbia University

To every housekeeper and cook
once a week comes the question OF
what to have for Sunday night sup
per, especially when guests are
coming.
In winter there must be one dish
which will be satisfying and hot. In
summer what will be satisfying and
cool is the question.
The cook must be considered also
and it is always wise to have those
dishes which to a large extent may
be made on Saturday.
Cold meat. cold cooked eggs.
nodded meat. fish, vegetables and
fruit all offer suggestions.
Sandwiches and desserts. as Gus
tards or %jellies. which may be made
ahead of time and served with little
trouble are all good to have.
Following are a few suggested
menus:
Cold Ham with Potato Salad
Plain Bread and Butter
Cut-up Fruit (served In g~lasses)
Cake Iced Tea
Sandwiches

or plain)

Stuffed Eggs with Tomato and
Lettuce
Baking Powder Biscuits, hot
Cookies Tea
"
Nodded Fruit Salad
Cream Cheese Sandwiches
Layer Cake Tea OF Coffee
Hot Chicken Sandwiches
Olives or Pickles
Cold Coffee Souffle
Waters Tea
In the first menu the cut-up fruit
is very good and uses up a small
amount of fruit, as one banana or
one orange, or half a melon, which
have been left.
Also any canned or preserved
fruit left over, or a few strawber-
ries, all may be mixed together ami
s|prinkled with sugar. Half a cup
of loganberry juice Or ginger ale
improves the taste.
Allow the fruit to stand in a cod
place and at serving time put in
glasses, and or top of each a spoon
full of beaten cream.
Iced tea and coffee are best when
made fresh and poured hot over the
ice. Cocoa, however, is not i'm
proved by being served that way.
Make the cocoa several hours be-
fore serving and let it become cold,
then serve with ice if necessary and
beaten cream on top of each glass.

Many Important Matters
Before The Legislature
Uncle Jake" Celebrates
His 8Oth Birthday

Mr.. Jacob E. Stevenson, familiarly
and affectionately known as "Uncl.
jake" was the subject of many con-
gratulations yesterday, the goth in
slant, as on that day he celebrated
the eightieth anniversary of his
birth. AS has been the custom for
some years sumptuous home dinner
was served and around the board was
seated most of the members of his
family, together with his pastor and
wife. Mr.. Stevenson, in reaching the
four score mile post, is in excellent
health and is truly an exceptional
man for one of his years. Not only
does he enjoy good health but no man
in the town is blessed with more
friends. The Worcester Democrat
man, with the others of this commu-
nifty, extends congratulations to Gun
Gle Jake" and expresses the hope
that he may be spared to this commu-
nifty for many, many years.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF
OUR HOME TOWN
Pocomoke Needs Less Criticism By
Its Citizens And More Shoulder
to-Shoulder Activity.

The past ten years have made many
.hanges in the history of our town.
improvements and developments have
been fostered by the cooperative
spirit of our merchants and citizens,
and while mistakes have occurred 1t
times, yet on the whole the spirit or
good will prevailed in our midst, on
couraging the puny efforts of the
weak and giving moral support to the
worthy achievement. Only by look
ing into the records of the past can
we obtain a realization of the COM
'ncndable progress of our town ard
appreciate the rapid growth and de
vclopment of its enterprises. The
year 1922 has in store for us wonder
Jul opportunities for the fulfillment
of our dreams and the ultimate sue
cess of our home industries. Loyal-y
70 our home town should be our fir;
consideration. Let US do nothing to
retard it's progress or stunt it's phl =
steal or moral growth or development.
What others have done We can do.
The city Chicago, now the second
argest in the United States with u
population of nearly two and three
quarter millions, was in 1910 in the
village class with population Of
only 4500. This tremendous growth
was accomplished, in a great degree.
by cooperation. With little less
cnvious criticism and a little more
shoulder to shoulder" activity, steI
by step the town of our birth will
expJnd and develop until. with
pride, We tell of its tremendous
achievements and it's rapid stride to-
ward the fulfillment of our ideals

COLDSBOROUCH OPPOSES
AMERICAN VALUATION
Maryland Representative Analyses
Proposed Tariff Bill Already
Passed By House.

The American valuation plan as
embodied in the proposed Tariff bill
was opposed in Salisbury Friday night
by Representative 7. Allan Goldsbor
ough speaking before the Chamber of
Commerce of that city.
Recalling the demand to which the
Republican party has been subjected
on all sides for a tariff bill as a
"panacea for financial ills" Mr..
Goldsborough said the party in pow
er had been hard put to it for means
to redeem it's campaign pledges. He
said the American people would have
been Shocked at any substantial
raise in duties" so the expedient was
devised of not raising the apparent
duty measurabpy, but of changing
the basis of the duty in manner to
l:;ake the actual duty in many instan-
ces practically prohibitlve.
Never in the history of American
tariff legislation" said Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough, "has it ever been suggested that
torlff should be so framed as to OBJ
scure it's purpose and scope and re-
suit in great many cases in making
the duty on an article. instead of a
proportion of it's cost price, 100 per
cent. of its cost price and often
great deal more.
The speaker, who is a member of
The Committee on Banking and Cur
rency in the House of Representatives,
then went on to give instances as to
the practical working out of the
American valuation plan in it's effect
or imports. He said that many COM
modities simply could not be shipped
INTO this country at all. He also said
that the question of determining the
American sales price would give rise
t. many administrative difficulties,
citing the catalogue of large mail
or.lcr house, which alone offered for
sale hundreds of thousands of arti
cles which would be dutable under the
pro;.osed Tariff bill and whose valua
ton would then have to be deter
mined.
In it's broader aspects, said the
speaker, the proposed plan meant tha-
e> change of commodities in many
cases could scarcely take place at all,
so that the stabilization of money and
exchange rates would only be maze
more difficult.

MARYLAND NOW HAS
A new COMPTROLLER
William S. GOrdy, Jr., Took Oath
OF Office Monday, Succeeding
E. Brooke Lee.

Maryland now has new Comp
troller of the Treasurer in the person
Of Mr.. William S. Gordy, Jr, of Sal
isoury, who was elected to that office
at the election in November last, de-
feating formec Senator Oliver S.
Metzerott, the republican candidate
for the position. AS prescribed by
the constitution Mr.. Gordy took the
oath Of office Monday last and the
oath was administered under condi-
tions unprecedented in the history OF
the State.
Under the State Constitution the
Comptroller is required to qualify on
the third Monday in January, and the
oath, in the past, has been admins
tered in the Executive offices at the
State House.
Governor Ritchie, who is now much
improved, was propped up in chain
for the administration of the oath
which took place at o'clock. There
were present for the ceremony Major
E. Brooke Lee, whom Mr.. Gordy sue
ceeds; Col. Harry ]. Hopkins, fo,
many years chief clerk to the Comp.
troller; Secretary of State Philip q
Perlman; Executive Secretary w
Oscar Anderson; the Governors
mother, Mrs. Albert Ritchie, and the
Governor two nurses.
Besides exchanges of compliments
and we'll wishes for the administration
of the new Comptroller, the unusua
conditions attending M. Gordy's go
ing into office was the subject of g
little good-natured comment between
himself and the Chief Executive.
Following the administration of the
oath, Mr.. Gordy was escorted to the
office of the Comptroller by Major
Lee and Chief Clerk Hopkins. Comp
troller Gordy expects to spend some
time in Annapolis during the session
OF the Legislature. With Mrs. GordJ
he is staying at Carvel Hall.

ious State offices come within thu
scope of the merit system. Mr.. Cord,
had no announcements of appoint
ments to make. 1t is understood
therefore, that the entire force, from
Colonel Hopkins down, will be re
tanned.
