Just Right Apple Pie--Put one cup
of sugar and one-half cup of water in
a pan and let boil for three minutes
Pour over the apples in pan. add a
top crust and bake. The hot sirup
starts the apples cooking and insures
their being done by the time the crust
is brown. BY this method there is no
raw apple in the pie when served.
The above is enough for one large
deep pie or two eight inch shallow
pie plates.
If YOU wish to have rich brown
gloss on your pies. take one well
beaten egg to which has been added
little sugar and 9. small quantity of
milk. With this brush the pie crust
well. Put back in the oven for a few
minutes after baking and let brown.
To Make Meat Tender.
To make steak tender, pour over
boiling water to which has been added
one tablespoonful of vinegar and one
tablespoonful of salt, and let stand
five minutes. Lay on a Toured board
and pound the -four we'll into the
steak. Have some grease smoking hot
so as to fry quickly. Do not turn the
steak over until brown. The toughest
of meat will be tender and good if
treated in this way.
If you find that you have added too
much salt to cooking meat Of any kind
add a small amount Of sugar. This
will take away the extra salt taste
without spelling the flavor Of the
meat. 1t also works equally well when
too much salt has been added to soup.
When using either ham or bacon
that is too salty, slice it, sprinkle with
sugar, lay in a pan, and cover with
cold water. Let come to a boil. then
remove from the fire. drain and fry.
This will make the meat taste fresh
and sweet.
This dressing can be made in less
than 10 minutes with no danger what
ever of separating. Proceed as fol
lows: Break two egg yolks into q cold,
dry bowl, add one-half a teaspoonful
each of salt and mustard and three
tablespoonfuls of vinegar or vinegar
and lemon juice. Beat for one minute,
then begin to pour salad oil in a
stream and beat with a rotary egg
beater. 1t will thicken at once.
If the rich red vinegar saved from
beet pickles is used when making a
salad dressing. the result will be a
dressing Of a rosy color that will add
a different touch to the salad. There
will be little or no difference in the
taste of the dressing.

Rhubarb Leaves.

With all kinds of fresh yegeta bles
now fllIng the markets it is easier for
the housewife to supply her family
with these essential foods Even the
tops of many can be Communicated
Celery leaves can be minced and used
raw in salad dressing They can be
used In soup and for other seasoning
Young beet tops can be cooked and
chopped very fine with butter, pepper
and salt. like spinach. Peas can be
cooked in the pod thus getting all the
substance of both peas and pods, and
the water in which they were cooked
used for puree by mashing the pods
through q strainer.
Most everything but the leaves OF
rhubarb may be utilized in some way.
Rhubarb leaves are taboo. They must
not be used because they contain OK
alic acid in large percentage. Oxalic
acid is good to clean straw hats with
and is also good to take ink stains out
OF wooden floors, but it is not a good
food ingredient.
During the war when everybody was
trying to save food in every possible
way, some people tried eating the
large leaves of the rhubarb plant,
cooking them like spinach, but sick
1ess followed such Indulgence. In some
cases the results were fatal, as the
sxperimenterS died.
Thought 1t is true that some other
vegetables contain slight traces of OK
alic acid It is present in such small
amounts that it is not a menace. The
leaves of rhubarb are the offenders
and all authorities are agreed that
they should not be eaten, Iodine is

more than worth while. This simple
English cream has a distinction all its

While our English friends are apt to
combine curry with meat. we suggest
simpler dish. such as curry with
rice. Most packages of curry give di-

is, therefore, suggested that each
housewife follow her own inclination

wishes TO make the dish a little more
hearty, make a curry gravy.

14TH ST. EXTENSION
VOTED BY SENATE.
Bill Authorizing Construction
Through Walter Reed
Grounds Goes to House.

The Senate this afternoon passed
without debate the bin to permit the
extension of Fourteenth street
through the Walter Reed Hospital
reservation, with the stipulation that
street car tracks will not be laid and
that heavy trucks with solid tires
shall not pass through the hospital
grounds.
The Senate accepted the modiflca.
ton made by the Senate District COM
m1ttee permitting motor busses to go
through the reservation when the
street is extended. The measure must
still be acted upon by the House.
Legislation to open up that i'm
portant thoroughfare has been before
Congress for several years, but has
tailed of action up to this session
because of the reluctance Of Walter
Reed officials to agree to the open
Ing of the street without restric-
tons. Early in the present session
the District Commissioners and
members of the Senate and House
District committees conferred with
representatives Of the hospital with
the result that an agreement was
reached whereby street cars and
heavy trucks would be barred from
that part OF the street and that regu-
lation and control Of traffic within
the limits of the reservation would
be under the supervision Of the hos
pital authorities. and with the fur
ther understanding that the grade
of the street through the hospital
grounds shall be subject to the ap-
proval of the Secretary of War.
The bill passed by the Senate also
authorizes the closing, for the benefit
Of the hospital development. all Of
the streets that would pass through
the reservation except Fourteenth
street and Aspen street.
The bill authorizes IAN apprupria-
ton out OF the revenues Of the Dis.
trict to pay the necessary expense
Of the condemnation proceedings and

ages in connection with the extension

BALTIMORE, April 29.--Mystery
surrounds the circumstances under
which Mrs. Lea Jamison of Wash

there are no marks on the car except

no registration card.
