GROUP OF GOOD
SALAD DRESSINGS
Recipes to Suit Many Differ
e1f Tastes.

! prepared by the United States Department
of Aericulture.)
People differ very. widely In the
kind of salad dressings they like.
Some want their dressings boiled and
some want to make them at the ta-
BILE; many people do not like the taste
Of oil, while others put mayonnaise
on all sorts of combinations from fruit
mixtures to cold meat sandwiches.
Here are some good dressings to suit
several of these tastes, all supplied by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
For French, or oil and vinegar dress
ing, use these proportions and make
any amount you need; " teaSpoonful
of salt, few grains of cayenne, pap
rika if desired, 2 tablespoonfuls of
vinegar, 6 tablespoonful of OIL All
old cook book used to say that French
dressing required "a spendthrift for
oil, miser for vinegar, and a mad
man to stir it up" At any rate, add
vinegar sparingly and beat the ingre-
dents together until they are we'll
blended If you have cruet or other
bottle with tight stopper, you can
keep French dressing on hand all the
time, simply shaking the bottle vigcr-
ously when ready to use the dressing.
There is little difficulty in making
good mayonnaise that does not sep
arate if the ingredients and bowl are
cold and the oil is added very slowly
at first, only few drops at a time.
Begin by measuring out the oil and
vinegar in cupfuls or better still small
pitcaers from which you can pour
them easily and carefully. You will
need l cupful of oil and 2 tablespoon
fuls of vinegar, or lemon juice, or both
mixed together. Put an egg yolk in a
cold bowl and beat it with dover or
rotary egg beater until it is slightly
thick. Add l tablespoonful of sugar
Y teaspoonful of mustard a few
grains of cayenne, and l teaspoonful
of salt. Some people add the salt last
believing that this prevents curdling
or separating Mix these dry ingredi-
ents well and start adding the oil drop
by drop, beating 1t in, then adding in
creasingly larger amounts, but always
with care not TO add too much at d
time. When the mixture is quite stiff
and thick, and about third of the oil
has been added, thin with little OF
the vinegar and lemon, but do not add
much at time, Continue adding oil
and vinegar alternately until all of
each has been used. A single egg yolk
can be used as a starter for double
these amounts of oil and acid, but the
seasonings must be increased proper
tionately Keep the dressing in a COW

Among the many activities Of Al
club girls meal planning and food
preparation are always popular, be-
cause the knowledge gained can be
directly applied in their own homes.
Young girls usually like to know how
to cook certain things, like baking bis
cults or cake, or helping their mothers
with the canning. Frequently they be-
come skilled in preparing one or two
special foods, but the art of getting
all the parts of meal together at
the same time is one that must be
learned, and, in many cases, so is the
sister art of serving meal that 1t Is
dainty and attractive. There is all
the difference in the world between
just putting food on the table, and
serving 1t In the correct way, which
10 also the simplest, easiest, most
graceful way, calculated to give n
feeling Of pleasant restfulness to those
who eat it.
Plan Suitable Balance.
In club work, therefore, it has been
found advisable to show these girls not
only how to cook each part of meal
properly, but how to plan 1t so that
there will be a suitable balance in the
diet and also so that the various
dishes will be done at the hour set
for the meal.
Table setting is part Of the instruc-
ton In meal planning. The girls in

vious that she has demonstrated the
use of low flower centerpiece, placed
on round embroidered white linen
dolly. Perhaps she has shown how
much better it is to place platters and
serving dishes squarely at right angles
to the main lines of the table, instead
of diagonally or in nondescript posi-
ton as one often sees them. The indi-
vidual covers" or places can scarcely
be distinguished in the photograph, but
close scrutiny shows the fork on the
left with the folded napkin, the knife
and spoon on the right, with the water
glass. If individual salts and peppers
are used, they. too, will be put beside
the glasses, while the bread and but
ter plates, with butter spreaders, will
go on the left above the napkins.
No doubt the demonstration will
conclude with warning not to forget,
serving spoons for each vegetable dish,
carving knife and fork for the meat
and some instruction about graceful
unobtrusive crumbing and clearil

PANAMA, Feb. % The "war
game" which has been going on off
the coast has ended in the theoretical
destruction of the navy and army air
stations at the Atlantic approach to
the Panama canal. General w. H.
Martin, commanding the garrison,
states the test has shown the made
quacy of the defenses.

ergo the guns at the canal are not of
long enough range, more anti-aircraft

COMMUNISTS OF
/. GERMANY FORCE
A UNITED FRONT
Compel S. D. Leaders to
Back Referendum
Especial to The Daily worker)


BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The demand put
forth by the Communists for a refer
endum of the people on the question
Of compensation for the appropriated
properties of the ex-kaiser and his
orde of minor German imitators,
princes, dukes, ETC., etc.-has COM
PEELED the leaders of the social-demo-
cratic party to swallow their own
words and range their organization
behind the scheme. Thus united
working class front has been obtained
as thru the same kind Of pressure the
General Federation of Labor has also
given it's backing.
Bitter Feeling Among Workers.
The measure will now come up in
parliament where with the joint sup
port of these two parties who have a
very large proportion of the total
membership, it stands a good chance
of passing. The feeling among the
workers and even considerable sec
tion of the middle class and profess
Isional groups is so bitter on this pro-
posal to hand back to the old regime
hundreds of millions of dollars, that
enough votes are almost certain to be
won from wavering members of other
parties except the most extreme right.
This is particularly true as the vote to
permit the referendum does not neces-
sarily involve the approval Of its OBJ
ject.
The Russian Method Much Cheaper.
The former kaiser has the colossal
nerve to demand almost S300,000,000
besides his present allowance of about
$4,000 a month. The rest of the no.
bility want to be restituted on cor
responding scale. Many of their de-
mands have been granted by the Prus-
sian government, coalition of social
democrats and centrists (catholics),
or by the courts. Indeed, the servile
social-democratic leaders have been
compelled to give up their projected
sabotage of the plan thru a referen-
dunn allowing compensation for the
appropriation only by the mass pro-
tests within their own rank and file
and the labor organizations. For this
agitation the Communist Party Of
Germany is responsible. It's result, a
united front forced from below, is
bound to have most important results
in the class struggle of this country
soon.
