MASSACHUSETTS OBJECTS

We read that educational leaders in
Massachusetts have at this late day
discovered that the use of the abbre-
Walton, MASS" is detrimental to the
dignity Of their state, and have be-
gun movement for its suppression.
They want the name spelled out in
full in all cases.
But if Massachusetts, feels sighted
by the use of only four letters, other
states have even more cause for COM
plant. Consider Ohio, which is usual
ly represented by only one, o. And
the co. might possibly be mistaken
for a zero; thus adding insult to in
jury.
The question raised calls to mind
the interesting fact that the name
of every state has been commonly
abbreviated, except that of Utah,
possibly because "Ut' in handwrit-
ing might be confused with "Vt.,"
while "Uh." would suggest am an
pleasant sound.
We doubt that the objection of the
Massachusetts professors is well
taken. Think how many barrels of ink
have been saved by the employment
of the abbreviated form, which saves
nine letters each time it is written or
printed, to say nothing of the economy
of labor.
We recall one typesetter whose
ideas would have pleased the Massa-
chusetts brethren, however. He, too,
disliked authorizations, and when he
set up a musical article in which ref
erence was made to N arts 18th.
Mass, he evidently was thinking Of
military affairs and didn't do thing
but mako It read "Mozart's 18th

LEVEES THE BACKBONE

Amidst the wide discussion of flood
control now going on, and the various
methods being suggested for making
the Mississippi Valley secure against
a repetition of this years disaster,
some recent observations by Secretary
Hoover stand out with clear signifi-
canoe.
Mr.. Hoover, in addition to being one
of the ablest men who ever served in
cabinet post, is an engineer by pro-
fession and therefore able to grasp
the fundamentals of the flood control
problem. "a
He believes, as do the Army en-
gineers, that the only practical solu-
ton of the problem lies in providing
higher and stronger levees. He has
little faith in reservoirs for holding
surplus waters, although he admits
that they would aid navigation. He
recently said:
"The recent flood would fill Lake
Erie in two months. You can get an
idea from that of the impossibility of
building reservoirs of sufficient capa-
city to take care of the excess water.
On the other hand, it is perfectly pos
sible to build levees to contain that
water The levee system must be the
backbone of any practical program of
flood control"

station instructions are given to the
listeners as to how to get this station
on receivers other than the one being
used at the pickup point. This en-
ables set owners to get the station
direct on their own receivers, and
serves as an incentive for fishing for
additional DIX stations.

New Radio Stunts

From the number of "First time in
radio history" stunts which are being
pulled off from time to time, one is
led to believe that there are a number
of station directors whose chief ambi-
ton in life is to concoct a new ex-
perience for radio listeners. erhaps
we ought to reserve a corner of this
radio section each week exclusively
for new radio stunts,

Aspic Jelly

AsPiS JSiiN 10 iot Tue nlSn
falutin' thing it sounds when one
sees the word printed in cook books
or magazine articles. Aspic = the
name does sound rather strange, per-
haps hard to make and high uppish,
as though it should appear only on
French cafe menues and not on the
bill of fare of such ordinary table as
ours.
Yet like most everything, when you
are acquainted with it you'll find its
simple and easy after all. But that
doesn't say it isn't good; some easy
things, you know, are delicious and
this is one of them. If you are serv-
ing party luncheon during hot wea-
Their, You'll certainly want to have
something in aspic jelly. Perhaps it
will be the meat, chicken or tongue, or
even fish. 1t may be the vegetables
which you'll wish to put in aspie or it
may even be the salad.
Surrounding your meat or vege-
tables with this jelly will insure your
guests of cool and beautiful luncheon
dish as well as an unusual and tasty
one. 1t also gives you, as the hostess.
a chance to prepare the main dish of
the meal ahead of time so that you
can be as cool and delightful as the
Jelly itself.
Aspic jelly is always made with
meat juice or stock which has been
thickened with gelatine. This is pour
ed around whatever you wish to serve
in it, allowed to set in a cold place.
Just before serving it is turned out
of the dish and one has mold of
clear sparkling spicy jelly around tn
meat or vegetables, making a gor-
geous unusual dish, out of ordinary
materials.
Either broth from chicken can be
used or broth from beef. In the recipe
which | have below, both white and
brown stock is called for:
tbsp. carrot
tbsp. onion
tbsp. celery
sprigs parsley
sprig savory
2 cloves
sprigs thyme
bay leaf
7-8 cup white stock
tbsp. graduated gelatin
u quart white stock
Y quart brown stock
Juice of lemon.
egg whites
Put vegetables, seasoning and cup
i of stock in sauce pan; cook 20
minutes and strain, reserving liquid:
Add gelatine to stock, then add lemon
juice and strained liquid. Season with
salt and cayenne and add white of
egg slightly beaten. Add slowly to
remaining mixture, stirring constant
ly until boiling point is reached. Take
from fire and let stand 80 minutes.
Strain through double thickness of
cloth.
Of course all white or brown stock
can be used. The white is incest for
vegetables and white meat and the
brown stock for dark meat. Be sure
to taste the liquid after it is made to
see that the seasonings are right. It
should be highly seasoned and also
very clear. The purpose of the egg
whites is to clear it.
Many times one doesn't have meat
stock on hand and it is too much
trouble to make it. The following re-
cipe with boullion cubes I find very
satisfactory on short notice.

DRY LAW AGENTS
 ATTACK CABARE7S
Plan Campaign to End Liquor
 Drinking There

Washington, Oct. 13 OP)-Pro- hibition officials today considered starting a campaign to end liquor drinsing at night clubs and cabarets
 Heretofore federal dry agents have paid little attention to such places. Instead they concentrated on cen tral sources of supply in trying 10 end the flow of ljquor 10 bootleggers.
 Dry authorities believe that in cabarots and night clubs, govern mont detectives can successfully trace patrons liquor back to the original distributing point.
 Federal agents will not arrest every flask toter but plan 10 Ques- ton enough law violators to gain de- sired evidence. Field administrators already have been ordered to organ i2" 'padlock squads and this corps is expected to be assigned 10 inves- tjgate night clubs and cabarets should the plan be adopted
 The dry machine has six women investigators and they may be de tailed as "spotters."
 Dry agents will also seek the CO., operation of owners of night clubs and cabaretS to end liquor drinking on their premises.
