SOUTH MARKET BRIDGE
TO START In SPRING
New Structure, Of Double Leaf
Bascule Type, To Cost About
100000.

Announcement was made recently
that, early in the spring, work will
be started on bridge spanning the
Christiana River at South Market
street, Wilmington. The new struc-
ture will cost 100000, or possibly
a little less, and will be of the
double leaf bascule type. 1t will be
operated by electricity and will be
thirty-eight feet in width as to the
roadway, and will also contain side
walks of six feet each on either side.
When the details, including a Gov
ernment permit, and the selection
of an engineer, are completed, plans
will be prepared and bids for the
work asked for. The bridge will be
finished in about year.
AS it will constitute the entrance
to Wilmington from the South, con-
siderable attention will be paid to
the approaches. 1t is planned by the
State Highway Department, which
will pay tWo-thirds of the cost of the
new bridge-the Levy Court will pay
the remaining one-third-to improve
the surface of the Causeway and
otherwise better the present I'M
slightly surroundings. The Street
and Sewer Department will build the
approaches on the northern side of
the stream.
In connection with the improve
ment of the Causeway, the State
Highway Department, through Chief
Engineer Buck, Will cooperate with
the city in widening the roadway to
sixty feet, with paving over the en-
tire highway and sidewalks. In ad-
dition, adequate lighting facilities
will be provided. This will have the
effect, it is hoped, of filling in the
surrounding marshes and making
South Market street business thor
Oughfare.
The State Highway Commission
will hold a special meeting shortly
to pass upon the final details of this
important undertaking. 1t is the
hope of the Highway Department
that the present bridge will be al
lowed to remain in place during the
building of the new structure and
thereby obviate a detOur. This may
be done by operating the existing
bridge on an angle-from the Bal
timore and Ohio freight yard to the
property of the Charles Warner
Company, for example-provided
this can be done without interfering
with navigation.

AIoT long ago a young house
IN keeper visiting the Institute
confided her difficulties to us.
"one of my biggest problems is
t. get the whole dinner ready at
one time. Invariably when am
serving two or three vegetables,
one is cooked tender long before
the other. Or, il it isn't that, one
Of the vegetables is sure TO need
extra cooking, while I am fran
tfcaIly trying to keep the rest
OF the dinner from getting cold
and unpalatable.
Others OF us can tell the same
story and we are still wonder
ing why. We aim to cook our
vegetables until tender" yet with
no definite cooking time period for
them in mind, We find it difficult
to keep the hour which we set for
dinner. Haven't we still more to
confess? Faithfully we urge our
families TO eat vegetables and mora
vegetables. Yet, are we aware
how little encouragement we really
give when we serve more frequently
than not vegetables which have not
only been deprived of all original
flavor and color through poor cook
ing but are overseasoned in an
attempt to disguise this fact. Ho-
tells and home cooks are often
-transgressors alike
So the Institute went to work!
Vegetables fresh from market
poured into our kitchen each morn
ing. We boiled, we steamed, and
we timed! Each vegetable was
boiled and steamed and the test
was repeated until we were able
to give you what we consider a
safe margin of time to allow for
cooking. We found, just as you
will, that, as the vegetables vary
in age, so will the time period for
cooking have to be changed some
what. For this reason we have in
many instances indicated a min
imum and maximum time for
cooking.
Perhaps you ask: "shaIl I boil
or steam?" Frankly, We hope the
time will soon pass when fresh
vegetables are carelessly prepared
and then boiled and boiled IN
great quantities of water. Too
often this water finds its way down

THE Fall season brings to the
4 housewife the problem of
finding new ways to prepare the
old-time standbys. With a little
thought and very little trouble the
same vegetables may be served
over and over again in different
combinations. Celery, one of the
most popular of Fall vegetables, IS
usually best liked in the uncooked
state, but for change it is nice

drawn butter sauce on toast.

carrots prepared in the following

cook until tender in boiling, sailed
water. Put into a saucepan two
teaspoonfuIs of butter, one-fourth
cupful of vinegar, two tablespoon
fuls of sugar and a grating Of
nutmeg. Add the carrots and cook
until they are transparent.
Onions au Gratin

So the Institute answers. Steam

maximum of the mineral salts pres

which are simple, compact, and
inexpensive can be supplied by
manufacturers of both enamelware
and aluminumware In purchas-

two-cent stamp. Still another
method of conserving the food
wealth in vegetables Is suggested
in baking them. Many times when
your meat or dessert is in the oven
this same heat can be utilized for
baking the vegetables in a small
amount Of water.
If your budget will not allow for
the purchase of any new cooking
utensils just now, you can still
rescue the mineral salts. Arrange
the prepared vegetables in the
bottom of the kettle. Cover the
kettle lightly and cook the vege.
tables until tender, following the
time table.
And one last word: If you must
boil your vegetables in water. keen
an eye on the mineral salts. Save
every drop Of the liquor drained
from the vegetables, whether fresh
or canned, and use it for your
cream soups, creamed vegetables.
