HOW TO COOK
GREENS
-RY Hannah Wing

WHETHER or not the first
w wild green's - dandelions.
mustard and cowslips-are to be
enjoyed as much in realization
as in anticipation depends large
" on the preparation, seasoning
and general attractiveness Of the
product.
Only young tender plants, tips
and leaves should be gathered
for cooking. All green's should
be looked over carefully to re-
move wilted or coarse leaves,
stalks, stems, and then thor
oughly washed. This is best &C
complished by plunging the
green's into warm water and
washing by rubbing between the
hands as if they were cloth. Lift
from the water; never pour the
the water off. as this leaves the
sediment in the greens, and
plunge into another pan Of water.
Continue washing until no trace
of sand IL left.
Then place the greens In cold
water to crisp. Drain, and II to
be used for salads, absorb excess
moisture and further crisping by
placing in a towel on ice or in a
cool place.
When plain green's are cooked
they should be drained. chopped,
seasoned with salt and pepper
and placed in a hot skillet in
which hot butter or bacon fat
and a little minced onion is wait
ing. Cook in this manner for sew
eral minutes before serving.
Hero are three attractive weys
In which to serve green's:
Greens In Beet Cups.
Use whole canned beets or
cook beets Of uniform size and
shape in boiling water until ten
der. Drop into cold water and
slip off skins. Remove the zen
ters Of the beets to form cups.
Brush the inside Of the cups with
melted butter and salt slightly.
Place over hot water to keep
hot.
Use any hot cooked greens,
drained and chopped. To one
pint Of greens add two hard
cooked eggs, cut in small pieces;
two tablespoons butter, one table
spoon vinegar, salt and pepper to
taste. Mix well and fill the beet
cups heaping full OF the green's.
Chop fine some Of the center re-
moved from the beets and sprin-
kle over the top Of the green's.
Hot Greens On Toast
One pint cooked green's. table
spoon onion juice. tablespoons
horse radish, Il cup sour cream.
salt and pepper to taste, crisp
bacon and cucumber pickle.
Chop the cooked greens and
heat. Add all the other ingredi-
ents except the bacon. Season
we'll with salt and pepper. Have
ready slices of hot toast n inch
in thickness. Spread the mix
ture of green's evenly over toast.
Place three or four slices Of crisp
bacon on top Of the greens and
add one tablespoon of minced
cucumber pickle.
DandeIiOn Salad
One-half pound dandelions,
green onions, 1 cup cubed Gu
cumber, II cup grated raw car
rot, French dressing, 4 cup
grated cheese.
Cut fresh, crisp dandelions In
small pieces. Mince the onions
and combine the first four in
gradients. Toss we'll together
with French dressing. When
ready to serve sprinkle cheese
over the top.

INFATUATION OR LOVE

. unreturned love at this moment
or she was several weeks ago
when she wrote me the following
letter:
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am
very much in love with q young
man who doesn't care at all for
me. It sounds simple-Just forget
him. But can't.
'I am q college girl Of eighteen,
so you see I'm not an infatuated
child. And he is ~twenty.three.
"I've tried to hate him, to for
get him, to win him-nothing
works! don't see him for
weeks at q time, and then some
OF his friends come to see me-
some Of my girl friends-and we
meet. It's truly terrible!
..I don't think he cares for any
other girl. But he simply doesn't
care for me. I'm miserable!
'But in spite Of all his faults
he's lazy and not too ambitious
and an awful necker-I'm still
crazy about him.
ISIS. there anything can do to
clear up this miserable state OF
affairs? I'd do ANYTHING!
"ANNE."
I only wish could clear up the
situation. Anne. both for you and
for many other girls who are in
the same dilemma.
What can you do about It?
Nothing at all-not thing. You
can't force any man in the world
to love you or even take an In
terest.
You don't care to be told to
forget him and fill your life. in.
stead, with interest in college
and community activities and the
companionship Of the friends who
appreciate and love you.
Yet your only remedy In this
case is to stop thinking about
him--lose intereSt-forget.
Don't believe for one moment
he cares, ''but is too lazy to cali
up" If he loved you he'd find
energy to devote himself to yor.
My frankness is not likely 70
comfort you, but nevertheless I'm
going to tell you what consider
the truth about your case. Anne.
The young mans indifference
il a great blessing and prOtec-
ton. You admit he's lacking In
ambition and Is a ''lazy necker."
Would the love Of a man 90
selfish an6 self-indulgent bring
you happiu sss? Would such love
even when 1t was won, remajA
true and loyal long?
Would you care to think OF
him as head OF the family you
and he would found in case he
loved and married you? It would
be real misfortune, Anne. moth
ing less, to win the love Of this
indolent, irresponsible young man.
OF course, It's impossible -
foresee what may happen In this
casual world Of ours. He may
suddenly begin to take an inter
est and discover you are a mar
velous girl. Perhaps he has by
this time. If he should take an
interest in you, youth need all
your wisdom and common sense.
However, In all probability,
my dear, you'll have to accept
your failure to interest this man
as one Of the inevitable disap-
pointments life brings.
Ten years from now ] wish
you would write me again-so
we can have a good laugh to-
gether telling me how glad you
are that you were saved from a
mistaken love and foolish mar
riage at eighteen, and 80 waited
for true love and happy marriage,
because a certain young man
wouldn't look at you.

WINNING HER
HEART
BY Beatrice Fairfax

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ I am twenty-four. AS far
as can see, there is only one
girl in the world. She is about
my own age and we are OF the
same creed. There is. however,
one thing that stands between us.
and that is another man.
He is a travelling salesman, and
is only home every three or four
weeks. When ne is away she
seems to be very much in love
with me, and even tells me that
there is a very good chance Of
her becoming my wife. But when
this man appears she neglects me.
He is ten years older than she is.
Should I marry her while he
is away or give her up?
DISHEARTENED.
EROM your letter I judge that
= you have a very fair chance
Of winning the girl you love. If
you are in a position to marry
her, by all means persuade her If
you can to marry you at once.
Keep on persistently and pa
tiently wooing her. Prove the
loyalty and sincerity of your love
in every way. Don't run down
the other man to her or magnify
his Importance. One Of these
days she'll doubtless surprise you
by saying yes"

even Texas, with his ready

DR.. John II. McCracken Of eastern
Pennsylvania, president of Lafayette
University and a member OF the Amer
lean Council of Education, Informed
the President today of a determination
on the part of the council TO bring
about the enactment OF a law creating
a department Of education in the Fed

dent that the council, which is made
up of officers Of all the educational In

the Federal Government has failed TO
give proper assistance to the States
and municipalities in the advancement
of education, and that the time had
come when the Federal Government
should take steps to promote educa-
ton in this country.
DIR. McCracken said that Il bill,
separate from the general reorganfza-
ton bill, which provides for the de-
partment of education and relief.
will be introduced in the coming SeS-
sion which will provide for the crea-
ton Of a separate department Of the

counsel succeeded in getting the wit
ness to apparently contradict himself
through means of a letter introduced
In the record.
Loening's Previous Statement
Looming had testified to the effect
that Mitchell's charge that the Mac
MILAN planes were "dnsignad for use
in the tropics" was incorrect. as he
had always had in mind their use
for icy regions, but Representative
Frank r. Reid, chief counsel for the
accused, produced a letter written by
Looming to Col. Mitchell in which the
former said: IF you feel you must
criticize the Navy, please remember
that my amphibian planes were de-
signed for use in Hawaii and the Car
| ibbean Sea"
Mitchells reply to this letter and an
other response from Looming also
were read into the record. Loenings

planes for all purposes"
Looming Resents Attacks.
In Mr.. Loening's reply to Col.
Mitchell's response. the aircraft man
, ufacturer showed strong resentment
of Col. Mitchell's attacks on his am
phibian plane as an Arctic ship. The
letter pointed out that while it was
true he had boosted his ship for use
in the tropics. that did not mean that
| he had regarded II as not equally
adaptable for operation in colder
climates. He said the best proof OF
the fact that the amphibians We're
efficient under icy conditions was the
! record they made with the Macmillan
| expedition il the far North. He
| pointed out that not d ship had failed
