Cheese Added to Salad Dish

these and a number of other similar
dishes fit excellently into such meals.
When serving a cheese dish such as
any of these, try to include with it a
green salad or some raw vegetable such
as shredded cabbage, carrots or raw
celery. This is because of the fact that
cheese is a concentrated food and so
lacks the bulk that is necessary in a
we'll balanced diet.

One Mother says:
I have found that when my little
tots tire of their maps, nap time can
be made more interesting by setting
the alarm clock and telling them not
to talk until the alarm goes of. 1t
takes only few minutes for them 10
drop of to sleep and after they wake
up let them hear the alarm go. This
plan has sometimes to be altered or
exchanged for that of putting little
gold stars after their names on a chart
for taking their maps.

A saving of 1925, 100000 in the con-

annual reduction of 1926, 900 in the cost
of their upkeep Is the goal the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
is striving to reach in the highway de-
yelopment here, Lieut.. Col. u. S. Grant,
Sd. executive officer of the commission,
said at a luncheon given by the Wom-
ems City Club city planning committee
yesterday.
The saving would be effected by the
construction of radial highways TO
accommodate heavy traffic, allowing the
side streets to be developed according
to the topography OF the areas IN Wnicn
they are located he explained:
He also gave a detailed description OF
other projects the commission has
formulated.
Mai Carey H. Brown, engineer OF the
commission, and Charles w. Elliott, city
planner, were other guests.
Transportation Demands.
Col. Grant discussed the advance In
modes of transportation which neces-
STATED an improvement in streets and
highways. This resulted in the fornu-
lating of a plan by the commission
to provide thoroughfares over which

streets In the residential sections to be
maintained at q reduced cost.
The proposed lanes would be graded
and made as straight as the topography
of the city would allow, in an effort
to reduce the number of accidents re-
sulting from hills and sharp curves.
The side streets would be constructed
according to the natural conditions Of
the land upon which they are located,
as there would be little travel upon
them.
The highway plan also provides for
routes by which through traffic might
be diverted from the business section
of the city. avoiding congestion and aid
ing travellers who do not wish to be
delayed by entering crowded areas.

Washington should not only be the
National Capital, Col. Grant explained
but should also be the cultural one
Experts have been employed to formu-
late plans for the improvement of the
city, an advantage not enjoyed by 9TH

the projects, people should not become
discouraged, but should do all in their
power to aid the commission and secure
the proposed improvements.

utilities was asked today by the Ameri-

Judson King, director of the National

immediate investigation, said:
Efforts have been made for years to
dominate the educational system
through subsidizing professors and
supervising text books. Financiers and
