Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-The old red pantaloons of
the French infantry uniform are
likely to come back, it is said by peo-
pie acquainted with the projects of
M. Painleve, minister Of war, and the
American Legion parade in Paris is
given as the cause for the resurrec-
ton.
Paris was caught by the color in
the Legion column and people began
to ask why France, where the greatest
taste for color is supposed to reside,
should be deprived of the gay ele-
ments of the old army uniform. The
suggestion has been made that fatigue
uniforms of different branches Of the
service might with great artistic effect
be copied after the traditional cos
tunes of the old provinces of France.

Did Seem That Remark
Was Rather Personal

The chief of police of Sharon, Pa,
during stray-dog campaign, called
upon the superintendent of big steel
mill in the city to get permission to
throw the dead dogs on the mills Stag
pile, where subsequent accumulations
would quickly cover them up. *. : 81
The superintendent was out Of town
when the chief called first. His as
slstant, timid and excitable person,
declined to give the necessary per-
mission, but promised to speak to his
superior about 1t on his return the
next day. This he did In his usual
excited fashion. Running into the SUI
perintendent's office, he started to
stammer:
"The chief of police, he's hunting
up all the stray dogs in town, and he
was lookin' for you yesterday"

Nothing Ne1D in Idea
That Men Are "Funny"

"NIen are funny" That's not such
an unusual statement as to be star
Ting. The startling part about the
observation Is that man made 1t
man who, In his daily task Of CIV
ing shaves and haircuts, has plenty
Of opportunity to know whereof he
speaks.
"In the old days before women In
vaded my shop" explained the bar
ber "men would come in and some
times wait as much as two hours for
their turn In the chair. Now, be-
cause have so much feminine trade,
some Of my work Is by appointment.
"If a man comes in on chance and
has to wait for some one who comes
In after him, but who has an appoint
ment, he's SO dlsgruntled he's likely
not to come back. And probably he's
waited only half hour. 1t isn't the
wait-it's the fact that some one

of going ahead of him. Yes, men are

One way of introducing variety In
preparing vegetables is to stuff those
that lend themselves in form to this
treatment. Stuffing makes the entire
dish more substantial and thus some
times reduces the number of other
foods required for given meal. Egg
plant, green peppers, large Spanish
onions and cabbage are among those
often served in this way. Usually
the stuffing is made of other vege-
tables and some cooked starchy ma
terial such as bread crumbs, rice or
spaghetti, to give body. A great many
combinations are possible in stuff
ings. One would naturally choose two
or three flavors that blend well to-
gether however they are cooked and
served, just as one combines favors
carefully for vegetable soup, stew
or vegetable hash. Some good fla
yors to use in stuffings, two or three.
at once, are: Tomato, corn, celery,
cabbage, spinach, string beans and
carrots. Onion flavor is desirable in
almost every combination. Minced
meat or chicken is often included, and
then the resulting mixture may be
sufficiently hearty for an entire lunch
or supper.
Combine Various Leftovers.
If you have not quite enough Of a
given vegetable when 1t is cooked in
the usual way, and If it is suitable for
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1927-06-24

stuffing, you may be able to extend 1t
very nicely by this MEANS Again,
when you have small amounts Of two
or three cooked vegetables on hand,
but not enough Of any one to serve
for dinner vegetable, you can COM
bine the various leftovers with bread
or rice, add onion flavor and use the
mixture as stufing. Bread crumbs
should always be combined with melt
ed butter to make them rich before
they are added to other ingredients.
Stuffed Eggplant Recipe.
The following recipe for stuffed egg
plant is furnished by the bureau of
home economics:
/ large eggplant 2cupfuls finely cut
teaspoonful salt raw cabbage, or
tablespoonfuls cooked tri n g
chopped peanuts beans
/ cupful fine bread tablespoonful
crumbs butter
Cut the eggplant in half, Remove
as much Of the white portion as pos
sible without breaking the shell. Cut
in small pieces. Cook the cabbage
and the eggplant in small amount
Of water about ten minutes. Drain
and mix the other ingredients with it.
Fill the eggplant with the stuffing,
place buttered crumbs on top. Pour
around each half eggplant little of
the water in which the cabbage and
eggplant were cooked. Bake in the
oven half, an hour, or until golden
brown.

BAKING POWDER
BISCUITS GOOD
Should Be Light, Fine
Grained, Tender, Brown.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Tastes in biscuits differ, and 1t
would be remarkable, among a dozen
people, to secure an unanimous opin-
ion on the comparative merits Of soft
or crisp biscuits, drop biscuits or
rolled ones, water or milk or sour-milk
biscuits. Almost everyone would
agree, however, that an acceptable
biscuit should be light, fine-grained,
tender, and delicately Drowned. The
dough should be worked as little as
possible, therefore, so that the gluten
will not be developed too much and
the product made tough. Using soft
wheat or pastry flour and having the
oven very hot are two other points
that contribute to good texture.
Here's recipe furnished by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture:

or q biscuit cutter is often recon-
mended to avoid warming or handling
1t too much, but the tips Of the fingers
may be used If the work IS done
quickly. 81
Either milk or water may be used
as the liquid in baking powder bis
cults, and the quantity varied to OBJ
tain the biscuit desired. Sometimes
very stiff dough Is wanted, and as
little liquid as possible is used. A
lighter biscuit Is made by using more
liquid and combining very lightly.
Drop biscuits, which are not rolled
out, may be made by adding still more
liquid than for soft dough.
Bake the biscuits In shallow pan
or on baking sheet. The pan should
be lightly creased for drop biscuits,
but this is not necessary for the other
type. Biscuits require very hot oven
(45O to 500 degrees F). If you have
an electric table stove, try baking bis
suits right in the dining room.
