There are any number of combina-

In the audio side Of the circuit
there are number of available meth

the auto-transformer method, and
there Is the resistance coupled type,

These are the fundamental prin-

R,ames Dry Weather on Radio.

Another appeal to Secretary Hoover
asking that he shut down all radio
broadcasting to see If it is not
affecting the weather has just been
received. This writer. a resident Of
Nebraska. like several Of his predeceS-
s0rs, believes that the recent dry spell
is due solely to the effect OF the radlo
waves. on this theory 1t should sci
dom rain In Chicago. New York and
some other congested radio centers,
while in the great open spaces 1t
should be very wet.
From abroad comes statement
enanating from a French scientist
who asserts that electrical charges
and discharges increase the growth Of
grain and plants, whether or not they
prevent rainfall.
An eyewitness reports that an
amateur in Seattle some years ago dis
covered that the vegetables and straw
berries in his garden immediately
beneath his antenna and counter
poise grew about twice as fast and
we're much larger than those not
under these radio wires. II radio
does prevent rainfall. perhaps it
furnished a substitute for moisture.

Nutrition NUGGETS.

Potato biscuits, while furnishing a
pleasant variety for the whole family,
will be especially acceptable to any
one who is perhaps laboring under the
necessity of including a large proper
ton of alkaline or base-forming foods
in his diet. Potatoes, while usually
popular. are pleasant varieties by just
such dishes.
Although rhubarb is introduced
early in the year, remember that it is
not for any one who has digestive
irritation nor for any one who may
be suffering from kidney trouble.
Once more we call attention to the
advantages Of fruit toasts for break
fast. A carefully prepared sauce made
from either Stewed or canned berries,
such as blueberries, is delicious when
poured over slices of crisp hot toast.
Lett the slices be made of whole grain
flour and thick enough to have some
substance, although not of soft con.
sistency. In this way one may offer
both the fruit and cereal courses In
one dish.
Notice the ginger sherbt served at
one of the meals for the week. This
is made by cutting three-quarters of a
cup of preserved ginger very fine and
stirring this into a sirup made from
four cups of water. one and one-quar-
ter cups of sugar and three table
sroons Of lemon juice. When the
ginger and the sirup mixtures are
combined the beaten whites of two
eggs are added and the freezing is
continued. This makes a very attrac-
tive form Of frozen pudding for any
one who wishes variety in this nour-
ishing form of dessert.
Remember that mushrooms may be
a very great help in planning dietary
that is largely alkaline. Use them as
meat substitute and you. will be sur
prised to find how many attractive
main dishes may. be prepared from
these vegetable beefsteaks.
Very digestible and palatable varia-
tions may be made Of the apple pud-
ding with cornflakes. The light char
acter Of the flake cereal lends itself
particularly we'll to combinations as
fruit. There Is an absence Of a more
or less heavy and rich batter or dough
and one gets the nourishing qualities
Of both the finely faxed cereal and
the fruit in full measure.
If you make your own mayonaise
use lemon juice instead Of vinegar.
Not only will there be more delicate
flavor, but the food value Of the salad
dressing will be enhanced.

Most Americans take oranges FOR
granted-many housewives feel that
it is as necessary to have oranges in
the house as it is TO have bread or
baking powder or onions or vanilla
extract. If they are out of oranges
they order them without delay. This
condition holds true in many house
holds for the entire year-save for a
short period in the Summer when
other fruit is plentiful and oranges
are not so plentiful. But less than
two generations ago oranges were
really rare. They were as much of
a rarity as alligator pears are with
us now. and to receive an orange In
the heel of ones stocking on Christ
mas was regarded as much of treat
as to receive a shining new quartz"
in the toe.
Now oranges are abundant and
comparatively speaking not expen-
sive. If You make your own marina
lade. now is the time to do it. Serve
fresh oranges for breakfast. serve
them for salads and use them to
make interesting desserts. And use
oranges for decoration also. No
flower save the pot mariSold or cal
endulum offers color so bright and
Sheerinc as does the orange.
One young housewife has liner
which she sometimes spreads on her
breakfast table, and then she makes
4 centerDiece of oranges and serves
oranges for the first course. You may
like to mix other fruit with your
oranges, though YOU may feel that
the rosy cheek of the apple strikes =
discordant note and that the banana
detractS from the effectiveness OF
the orange. The best plan is 20 use
some dark groom lp3CpS with Np11r
bowl of oranges.
Orange Salads.
In any orange salad you will want
the orange sections firm and free
from connecting tissue, without much
juice. One way to get these sections
In the best condition is to peel off the
skin without q knife and then sep
arate the sections carefully The
white skin can then be pulled off
with the fingers if the oranges are
fairly firm.
A less troublesome way is to re-
move the skin of the orange with a
sharp knife, cutting deep enough to
get off the white skin. leaving the
orange a juicy, golden ball Now
with the aid of a silver fruit knife
cut out the section from between
each layer of connecting white skin.
If you find that a good deal of juice
remains in the core this may be
pressed out and used for some other
purpose.
With these skin free orange sec
tions many interesting salads may be
made. Try combining diced cooked
beets with the orange. Serve in in
dividual portions On tender lettuce
leaves with French dressing.
Diced celery and orange makes a
toothsome salad. You may use mayon-
naise with this if you like.
Orange sections and halves of stewed
prunes are good in a, salad served on
lettuce leaves with French dressing.
A good mixed fruit salad may be
made from cut up canned pineapple
orange sections, drained canned white
cherries and a few broken pieces of
blanched almonds. Another fruit salad
calls for grapefruit, pineapple, orange
and pecan meats, served with mayon
naise dressing, to which whipped
cream has been added.
Orange Desserts.
Among the delicious orange desserts
don't forget orange Bavarian cream.

ing, maple froSting or other flavor may
be used as filling between cookies.
Special Large Cake.
Make white cake as follows, bak-
ing 1t in a pan measuring about 8
by 5a inches bottom measure: Cream
three-eighths of a cupful of butter, and
gradually add one cupful of sifted
sugar, then alternately one half a
cupful of milk and one cupful and
one-half of pastry flour. which has
been mixed with one teaspoonful and
one-half of baking powder. Flavor
with one teaSpoonful of vanilla and
fold in the stiffly beaten whites of two
eggs. When well mixed, pour into
a buttered pan lined with buttered
parchment paper, and bake in
moderate oven for about 40 minutes
When the cake is cold. ice it with
fruit icing. and over that spread a
thin layer of plain icing. Crease with
a clean. wet string. dividing the width
of the cake into thirds and the length
of the cake into fourths, which will
give II squares when cut. In the
center of each square place a tiny
mound of chopped pistachio nuts, and
radiating from each group of nuts
place five small petal sections cut
from glace cherries, arrange some
with cut side up. some with outside
up and some with the petals curved,
all to give an irregular effect.
Chocolate "Hurry Cake"
Sift together one cupful of pastry
flour, one cupful of sugar, two and
one-half teaspoonfuls Of baking pow
der and one-half a teaspoonful of
salt. Melt two tablespoonfuls of but
ter and tWo-thirds of square of
chocolate in measuring cup, add two
teaspoonfuls of milk and stir the mix
ture until the ingredients are blended.
Add two unbeaten eggs and fill the
cup with milk. Pour the contents of
the cup into the prepared dry mix
ture and beat it briskly. Pour the
batter into a medium sized pan and
bake it in a moderate oven for 80
minutes.
Frosting for the cake: Add one and
two-thirds cupfuls of confectioner's
sugar to three teaspoonfuls of cocoa
and two tablespoonfuls of melted but
ter. Mix the sugar, cocoa and butter
with hot coffee to the proper con-
sistency to spread easily upon the
cake. Work rapidly, as the frosting
sets very quickly.

Warm weather the last few days
has been reflected in an enlivened
business at Center Market and a
larger quantity of fruits and vege
tables, most of which are of much
better quality than We're available
during the freezing temperatures.
Washington housewives took advan-
tage Of the larger opportunities to
lay in supplies of market foods, and
commission men responded by display
ing greater shipments of articles.
Prices remained fairly steady, with
drop in one or two articles. Big
reductions are not to be expected for
some time yet, however, until ship
ments of Spring vegetables from
nearby communities are possible.
Creamery butter dropped 5 cents
from quotations at the market last
week. and best grades of creamery
butter can be obtained at 55 and 60
cents, and even lower for unwrapped
brands.
Fresh eggs remain at so cents a

The Meal Before and the Meal
Ahead.

1--WE look before and after"
sang the poet of long ago.
True, he was discoursing learn
edly on life, but after all his
words may be applied to the
matter of diet. When we are
not feeling just right we are
very apt to say: Il must have
eaten something at dinner that
disagreed with me- While
this may very possibly be true.
it Is by no means the whole
story. What about the break
fast that came before that din
ner and the dinner of the day
before that came before the
breakfast, and so on?
Quite seriously, the building
up of a good digestion is some
what akin to the building up Of
a succession of generations. No
one generation is sufficient
unto itself. 1t bequeathes to it's
successor certain qualities Of
body and strength. Back of
the generations. whether past,
present or future, are such mat
ters as food. Only by sue
cession of we'll fed individuals
can a dynamic generation be
built. So there we are, so let
us remember that the sequel of
one ill-digested meal is far
more complicated question than
may be described.

A good white cake should have an
orange icing. A very easy way to
make this is to have the strained Juice
Of an orange and some sifted confec-
toners sugar. Add enough of the
sugar to the juice to make an icing of
the right consistency. Another orange
