CAMBRIDGE HAS FEWER

It Is always a matter Of surprise to
and what type Of collector is interest

may be a mans profession, his hobby

That famous old character and king
Of collectors, Horace Walpole. turned
his home. Strawberry Hill. into a

seums.
But collectors are not the product
Of a recent age. They asserted them
selves early in the history OF man
kind It Is TO the collecting habits
OF certain ancients that we owe much
Of our knowledge OF antiquity. Pc
trarch, for instance. to whom each
scrap of writing was as precious as

had such a collection of antique stat

che pleasure Of possessing 1t. Lorenzo
de Medici immortalized himself as a
collector; and TO the efforts of Cosimo,
his grandfather. are due those price

Jewish Distress in World.
It is estimated that one-third Of the
Jews in the world, under present
economic conditions in postwar
Europe. are unable to take care Of
themselves.
The Jews Of America have given,
during the past IL years. more than
$62 100000 for relief work abroad,
feeding, sheltering and clothing thou
sands of families. The agency for
this work is the Joint Distribution
Committee. established in 1914. For
many years the work Of this commit

conditions following in the wake of

ARTICHOKES

TN many localities Jerusalem
l. artichokes grow so abundantly
regarded as a nuisance, but II
the preparation Of them for the
table were better understood, they
might be greatly relished, says the
United States Department OF Agr1-
culture.
This vegetable does not in the
least resemble the French, or
globe, artichoke; it Is tuber, dug
out of the ground as potatoes are.
These tubers are often small and
irregular in shape, covered with
many knobs, so that they are tedi-
Gus to pare or scrape. Their ia
vor, also, is very mild and easily
destroyed by overlooking. One
good way is to bake the artichokes
in their skins. after first scrubbing
them well. Another way is to boil
them, either peeled or unpeeled.
They are served with melted but
ter with a few drops Of onion juice,
or in a sauce. in the latter case
after being peeled.
Cold boiled artichokes are deli
cious in salad. served on lettuce,
either alone or in combination with
other vegetables. Raw artichokes
are also palatable and digestible
in salad. In this form they are a
valuable addition to tho list of
vegetables that may be enjoyed
raw. They should be pared and
sliced very thin or grated if mixed
with other grated raw vegetables,
such as raw carrots, turnlps or
celery.

Spring HOUSE
| CLEANING

IF spring housekeeping has
Il always been a bugbear, read
these helpful suggestions.
The first thing to do in house
cleaning, is to make a plan. 1t
needn't be a hard and fast one,
and it must tit into your own
scheme of homernaking and liv-
ing. 1t will depend on where
you live and what kind of house
you have.
If you have cellar and gar
ret you may want to start clean
ing in one OF those places.
Either Is a good place to start,
but your plan should decide
which is best for you and in
what order you will clean each
room. 1t is wise to leave halls
and porches until last.
In making your plan, keep
firmly in mind this resolve-not
to upset the family routine, not
to serve meals late and not to
destroy the family comfort any
more than you can help. The
best way to avoid these pitfalls
Is to clean house piecemeal in
stead Of all In one fell swoop.
Don't try to clean all the floors
in the house at once, or all the
walls, or to beat all the rugs.
Take each room. or perhaps
two adjoining rooms as a unit,
and clean them from top to bot
tom at once. Before you start
in in earnest, 1t Is a good idea
to clean all the closets and cup
boards in the house, taking one
or two at time.

One of the most important, most business-like propositions ever before launched on this coast is now being presented to the American halibut vessel owners and fishermen for their consideration. Every conceiv- able kind of scheme for i'm proving conditions in our fish cries has come forward from time to time in the past, but for various reasons these have never been practicable, or con- ditions prevented their being successfully carried out Today, with our laws up-to-date and designated to give the producers in our basic industries every op- portunity to benefit from their ef- forts, the halibut fishermen of this coast are being asked to carefully consider the possibil- ities of a Cooperative Market ing Pool in order that com petition may be controlled and an equitable and efficient dis tribution of the produce of these waters attained.
 Fish are not protected by copyright, trademark or patent and because they are not pro- tected in any way commercially, every Tom, Dick or Harry can catch, or buy, and sell fish in any manner he cares to as- sume. The result has been we'll pointed out by Mrs. Evelene Spencer, formerly Fish Cookery expert with the Bureau of Fish cries at Washington, and now with the National Fish Coy of Halifax when she said, 'I have seen so many dirty, smelly fish markets all over the country that I do not wonder more fish is not sold but marvel that women buy it under these con- ditions when the adverse ad- vertising fish gets in these localities must be incalculable" It must not be imagined that these are the small, secluded markets in out of the way places. She takes the public market in City of Washington as an example where fish are exposed to flies and high tenn peratures. As conditions exist
