kitchen culture ever puts peas
on in cold water. Neverthe-
less, such is our confidence in
Miss Lees Southern traditions,
training and appreciation of
good food, that we recommend
you to try it. Pour off what
little water remains, add two
to four tablespoonfuls of
cream, and pepper and salt Cor
tablespoonful of butter) and
serve hot.
We refuse to check up on
Miss Lee in the Institute after
trusting her for five years. 1t
would not be sporting of us.
You try it out and let US know
the worst or best.
Of course, it may be "the
times" or the postwar psy-
chology or some such, and this
may not be the way to cook
peas at all. Or it may be
first step on a new plane of
cookery. Who can tell?
More Radical Notions
Before we recovered from
this shock our notable Phila-
delphia chemist came in and
said: did you ever eat a rasp-
berry custard pic?"
Now we never had, and we
are rather proud of our gusta-
tory adventures and the
chemist is a mere man penn
sylvania Dutch, we suspect at
that), and supposed to keep
out of the kitchen, any way.
SO we were a bit cold and un-
responsive and grudgingly ad-
mltted we never had, and
New-York tribune., 1922-08-06

rather implied that we never
wanted to. Why work to spoil
red raspberries? Is there
nothing that a man would not
change into pie if he could?
Don't miss it." he said,
sternly. "You line a pie plate
with crust, fill it nearly full of
red raspberries (let them
crowd), then pour the usual
baked custard mixture over
the berries and bake. July
isn't July until mother has
made one of those pies. There
is something about the acid
? and flavor of the berries and
the custard," he mused, reni-
niscently.
To Boil or Not to Boil Corn
"And last year 1 told YOU
too late about corn pie" he
added. Don't miss that this
year. Just put the cutoff
corn with cream and butter
and seasonings in lined Die
plate and bake"
"Why not a corn pudding
with no bottom crust?" we de-
manded. mot the same at
all-the shallow pie without
any egg cooks and browns
differently"
"Anothc~ one of those pies
that mother makes, first eaten
with the appetite of youth and
endowed with an imperishable
halo. A regular Freudian in
fantile complex" we COM
mented, silently.
But there it is. Trail off. af-

young and curious. For US,
while our teeth remain good,
we shall sink them in the corn
on the cob and let it 90 at
that.
But here another contro-
versy intrudes itself. Do you
know how to cook corn? Few
can, and the Trojan war was
tempest in a teapot com
pared with the battle that
ranges in cooking circles over
this operation. The most ad-
vanced thinkers, however, say
that young corn should be put
into boiling water and left to
steam for 10 to IL minutes
.~ot boiled at all, but coddled.
SO to speak, as you do an egg
for the nursery. If you boil
1t, five minutes is the limit for
young corn and seven TO
twelve for the older ears.
(Add sugar, not salt, to the
water and boil gently. And do
not let it stand around after
ward.)
There is a moment in the
cooking of corn when every
additional minute of boiling
hardens and toughens. 1t is
an even chance that you are
spelling your corn with over
cooking" say our Institute
gossips. Give it a thought.
Most of our American indif-
ference to vegetables is at
tributable to their excessive
size, old age and poor prep
aration.

there will be found okra or gun7bo
dishes. This vegetable is one of the
favorites of the Greeks, Turks and
Armenians as well, but has never
reached a high degree of popularity
in this country. When properly
prepared it makes a delicious ac-
compartment for meats, OF may
serve as the main dish in a vege-
table dinner.

y Probably the simplest wav Of
cooking and serving okra is the fol-

wash the pods in cold water, being
careful to break none of them.
Plunge the pods into boiling salted
water and boil for twenty minutes.
Pour off all the water and add two
or three tablespoonful of vinegar
with a little salt and black pepper.
Serve as any other boiled vegetable.
Okra Saute
Parboil the pods for ten minutes.
Drain and roll in corn meal, then

Spinach, Vegetable 'StepchiId,'
Enjoys a Crou;ng Popularity

SPINACH, the stepchild of the
green vegetable family, is at last
coming in for its own share of ap-
probation and honor and all because
the health and food authorities kept
up a constant barrage of "eat more
spinach and green's" This is not
hope or theory, but the honest opin-
ion of the authorities issuing the
crops and markets report of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
1t is evident from this one ex-
ample of expansion of the demand
for a certain product that house
keepers, the feeders of the nation,
do more than ask Whats all this
shootin' about?" They find out, and
finding out in this case they proceed
to buy and feed it to the family.
This is encouraging to the Institute,
which, with the others, has always
been an advocate of spinach and its
brothers in the green family. How
this increased use of spinach has in
f1uenced it's growth and marketing
conditions is shown in the official
report:

TO BAL [T|MORE WOMEN

Speaking yesterday at the luncheon
given in his honor in Baltimore by
the City-Wide Democratic Women's
Club Governor Ritchie mentioned as
important measures to women the
State program for schools of $780,
900 annually, exclusive Of new con-
struction that had teen passed by the
last Legislature, in comparison with
the sum of $2,000,000 granted in 1920 !;
in other words, a rs Eer cent. in
crease.
For the care of the insane. Gov
ernor Ritchie said, $4,000 had been
appropriated. Legislation for denn-
quent girls, the adoption of the
state use" system for prisoners, the
enlargement of the scope of the Work
mems Compensation Law to include
State employees, the reorganization
of the Baltimore city police, strength
ening of the motion-picture law, the
appointment of commission to study
working conditions for children were
other matters he cited which shed
credit on the Democratic party.
In referring to women holding Of
flee in the party he mentioned Miss
Mary E. " Risteau. He also called
attention to the fact that the State
tax rate in the budget passed by the
Legislature had been reduced five

PROVIDES S1,OOO,OOO
FOR STATE HIGHWAYS

The House yesterday passed the
Federal Aid Roads bill, which will
make available within the next two
years more than $1,000,000 in Federal
funds for construction of highways in
Maryland.
The bill authorizes the appropria-
ton of 100000 for road construc-
ton throughout the United States dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30.
1923, and $4,000 900 to be similarly
expended during the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1924. 1t is estimated
that, under the apportionment provi-
sions of the bill, Maryland will obtain
approximately $3.50 from the Fed
eral Treasury during the first year
and approximately $64O,O00 the year
following.
Passage of the bill by the House,
with favorable action in the Senate
regarded as certain, will give impetus
TO road construction in various States
and relieve the anxiety which has
been felt because of the depletion of
Federal funds. Proponents of the bill
also said that it would aid in solving
the unemployment problem.
The House committee reported that
the cost of road construction has been
constantly decreasing since the war,
Advocates of the legislation said this
reduction should be reflected in the
amount of the Federal appropriation,
md the sums of S65.O00,0O0 and $751;
100000 were deemed sufficient The
States. of course, to obtain this Fed
eral aid must match these sums dol
lar for dollar.
