There is always tendency to eat
fewer salads when the season of plenti-
full fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and other
succulent vegetables is past. Most Of
us have plenty Of salads In the Summer,
but many housewives do not give their
families as many as they should when
Winter comes.
Really it is no credit to any one to
serve good salads in Summer, It Is too
easy. It is in cold weather that the
housewives cleverneSs as salad maker
is really put to test. But so long as
there is plenty of lettuce and other
salad greens, you should have q salad
at least once a day.
You have heard doctors say that cof-
fee once a day is enough-sometimes
| too much. You have heard them say
| that meat once a day Is enough. But
did you ever hear any doctors warn us
against eating too many salads? Rich
mayonnaise, Of course, may be over

wholesome salads cannot be eaten toe

Place in a cup to hold it upright and

cherry gelatin and pour 1t into the

the jelly is firm. Cut crosSwiSe into

add salad dressing.
Grapefruit and Apricot Salad.-Drain
IL canned apricot halves and remove
the pulp from two large grapefruit.
.Marinate the fruit separately in
French dressing made with lemon Juice
in place of vinegar. Use a larger
amount of acid with the apricots than
with the grapefruit. Let the fruit
stand for several hours in a cold place
and then drain. Arrange the apricot
halves on lettuce leaves, using two for
each serving, and pile the grapefruit

Pineapple and Shrimp Salad.-Cut In
small dice enough pineapple to make
two cupfuls and cut into quarters
enough shrimp to make two cupfuls.
Mix well with mayonnaise and serve
on lettuce leaves, topped with mayon-
naise and Sprinkled with paprika.
Tomato and Stuffed Olive Salad
Scald six medium sized tomatoes and
slip of the skins, then scoop out some
of the flesh from the stem end to form
a cavity. Sprinkle the inside Of each
tomato with salt, paprika and sugar
and set aside to chill. Chop up 10 stuffed
olives and add them to six tablespoon
fuls of cooked seasoned peas. Dress
with enough mayonnaiSe to make of
the desired flavor and consistency and
fill the tomato cavities. Decorate each
tomato with q whole stuffed olive.
Serve on lettuce leaves.
Salad Garnishings. - Parsley, water

may be used as a garnish for holiday
salads. A dash Of paprika, few strips

Prices Fairly Reasonable
In Washington Markets

As is usual after holiday, buying
decreased. Perhaps it would be better
to say that 1t has returned to normal.
It Is interesting to note that holiday
demands seldom cause an increase In
prices. This, of course, is due to the
happy fact that there is more than
enough to supply the Nation.
The many climate zones in the United
States make it possible to obtain most
of our edibles without depending upon
importations. Considering the number
miles some of our fruits and vegetables
must be shipped, 1t is astonishing how
reasonable they are.
The actual problem Of the housewife
is not so much the cost OF food as the
change of menu daily. This constitutes
a real task II the family Is q large one
with diversified tastes, which Is so often
true.
Of course, there are certain more or
less standardized foods which are q
daily portion of the meal. Bread, but
ter, potatoes and sugar are sure to have
a permanent place IN the pantry. What
to provide in the way Of variety, then,
is the question.
1t must be remembered that the
proper food has much to do with keep
ing the doctor from the house. Sub
stantial foods must be served, regard
less of the fancy side dishes. Green
produce is excellent. Celery. spinach
and lettuce are splendid articles and
should be served frequently. Most OF
us do not eat enough of such products.
Some of our most healthful foods are
the cheapest.
Generally speaking, prices are fairly
reasonable and there is an abundance
to choose from at the stores and mar
kets.
The following are vegetable prices
Peas, IS cents q pound; cucumbers; IL
cents each; celery, 10 cents q stalk
spinach, 10 cents q pound or 3 pounds

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 6
(N.AN.A.).- TalkieS have sounded the
death knell of the old-tilne program pic
ture. Studios are featuring this branch
Of celluloidia less and less. So thor
oughly has the idea Of big features
taken one producer that a group of
players of more than passing importance
have been released from his lot on this
very count.
That such men as Bob Armstrong and
Alan Hale are included In the general
talents release marks 1t as one Of more
than passing import. Armstrong Is
known as one of the best character
actors Of the colony, with excellent stage
experience. On this lot such ladies as
Ina Claire and Constance Bennett have
contracts that still have some time to
go, and at salaries that go long way.
The studio retained Richard Bole-

sponsible for all chorus work done there.

type talkies will be made in bigger
and better" quantity come 1880.
Being studio-minded and most curious
about the Gish voice, wandered onto
the lot where that fragile lady who
ruled the artistic end Of silent picture
days was making Molnar under the
direction of Paul Stein.
The Gish, Slender as a fireside match
and robed in cerulean blue chiffon, had
let her golden locks drift down almost
to the knees. Shadows of the same
shade of cerulean blue as her peignoir
were daubed above and below her eyes.
Her voice at times Is akin to mouse
squeak. yet 1t expresses her personality
perfectly. It Is never possible to fore
cast the result of q picture from watch
ing a scene, nor would 1t take q prophet
of little magnitude to say that the GiSh
effort, It will either be THE Swan
with Lillian Gish or the swan song of

siders such a role as that Of Lincoln

abandon public appearances.
'If you do 1t we'll" he said, with an
expressive gesture, you're Identified

you're ruined. because you've destroyed
the public's ideal Of you as the great
