Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, March 28.-The lowly ham om-
elet may take first place among the breakfast dishes
in the land during the next four years. 1t is one of
the favorite foods of President Herbert Hoover.
So says Mrs, Mary E. Rattley, and she should be
in a position to know. For eight years she presided
over the culinary regions of the Hoover home in
Washington. And while she did not follow the Hoo
verS to the White House as she had hoped, neverthe-
less she did advise the kitchen force at the executive
mansion what the president does and does not like
IN the way of food, and how he wants it prepared.
For, she is happy to state, Mr.. Hoover never once
complained Of her cooking in the eight years of her
service at the S street home. Only once in that time
did he make a request, and then he asked to have
his eggs cooked a little harder.
Presidential Recipe
Ham omelet a la Hoover, as prepared by Mrs.
Rattley, is as follows:
Take six eggs and beat them all together. You
need not salt, for the ham does that. Add three ia
~blespoons Of cream and cook slowly in a well buttered
pan. When cooked on the bottom, put under toaster
flame about three minutes. Then lay the ground
ham already heated in a line across the omelet's
diameter, and roll up without too much handling, as
you would a jelly roll. Surround 1t with a tasteful
fringe of the remaining ham.
"You must be artistic about laying the ham in
and rolling the omelet," she warns.
On Sunday mornings President Hoover likes sau-
sage and scrambled eggs and fried hominy.
Il was always very particular about the horniny,"
Mrs. Rattley continued. Il would insist on whole
grains, washed and drained and rolled in cream and
~sprinkled with a little flour and Drowned In butter. "
The president is fond Of many other things. In
fact, Mrs. Rattley says he likes everything that is
good and good for him. Berries with cream. vanilla
ice cream and watermelon appeal to his taste. And
pie of any kind. Cold sliced lamb surrounded by
parsley with jelly in the center is a luncheon dish
that finds favor with him.
Cooked For Indy
At the first Mrs. Rattley thought she couldn't give
any Of Hoover's pet dishes, for she is not like many
other cooks. She does not say three teaspoons of this
or a cup Of that. When we suggested that perhaps
she cooked Intentionally, she was quick with the
reply:
mo. scientifically. I have studied it all my life
and I love to cook"
Her chief assistant Is her son. Her living quar-
tiers at the Hoover mansion were next to her kitchen.
for like other famed good and happy cooks she is a
little too much to carry upstairs.
She says that she has been photographed by news
cameramen in every way but standing on her head.
Next to her pride in having pleased the president
with her cooking. she is happiest over the fact that
she once prepared a meal for Col. Charles Lindbergh.

Tom Taggart and His Career

Col. Thomas Taggart Of Indiana made history for
70 years while he was on earth as a business man, a
financier, hotel proprietor, an owner of newspapers,
a maker of governors and senators and as a leader
of his fellows.
He was born in Ireland. He came to America
when a little lad. His first job was that of a waiter.
His second job was that of owner of a cafe where he
had served as a waiter.
Twenty years later he was a millionaire. First ne
was the leader Of the Indianapolis democracy. Then
he became the leader Of the Indiana democracy.
Then he became one Of the famous democratic ti-
umvirate-Roger Sullivan of Illinois, Charles S. Muir
ply of New York and Thomas S. Taggart of Indiana.
He made governors and senator's. He made Thorn
as r. Marshall vice president of the United States.
He Joined hands with Sullivan and Murphy to throw
William Jennings Bryan in the ditch at Baltimore
and make Woodrow Wilson the democratic standard
bearer.
After the passing of Wilson Taggart lost control.
During wartime a hundred thousand negro voters
from the south found jobs and homes under Hoosier
skies. These southern blacks voted the republican
ticket. They made Indiana a republican Gibraltar.
Taggart lost his health. He lost his fighting spirit.
He lost his grip upon the rank and file of Indiana
voters. He fought his last great battle with the King
OF TerrorS and the king won. The King always wins.
There are no great democrats now on the banks
of the Wabash. They are in the graveyard. Taggart
was the last to 60. Black battalions from the south
ern states made Indiana as solidly republican as the
state of Vermont, and the steel kings who own Gary
and other industrial towns in the Hoosier state see
to it that there are no breaks in the political line
when important elections take place.

Radio Bridge Analysis
Being a Report Of Bidding and Play Over
the Air from KWWG

| MI. Whitehead. Declarer, got the
lead again by leading Dummy'S z
of Diamonds and trumping it with
the 7 of Hearts. Mr.. Wall, West,
played the Queen of Diamonds and
Mr.. Landerkin, East, the 10 Of Dia-
monds. Declarer then led his last
trump, the 10 Of Hearts. Mr.. Ian
derkin, East, discarded his 10 Of
Clubs, in order to retain his high
Diamond over Dummy's 8. Dummy
discarded the 9 Of Diamonds; Mr..
Wall the 7 Of Clubs.
Declarer next led his low Club,
the 4; Mr.. Landerkin played the
King; Dummy the Ace; Mr.. Wall
the 8. Dummy led the 5 of Clubs,
which Of course was won by Declar-
er'S Jack. Declarer therefore, by
squeezing East in the end-play,
made q Grand Slam on the hand,
scoring SIS points in the trick score
and in the honor score 40 for four
honorS divided, and 100 for the
Grand Slam.
The Contract bidding of this
hand would be much more compli-
Gated than its bidding at Auction.
South's opening bid of one No
Trump would be the Same-he
would be just short of the strength
requisite for a bid of two. After
Vests pass, North Of course would
bid HeartS-but in Contract there
would be quite a question as to how
many. Some players with the North
hand would bid two, some three,
and some four.
AS MI. Work analysed the hand,
North, sitting opposite a No Trump,
with seven cards of a Major suit
headed by Jack-Ten, and with the
other strength that his hand con-
talnS, would determine at once that
ne wished to play a game contract
with Hearts the trump. Bidding
two Hearts might readily be fol-
lowed by a pass by the No Trumper
and a consequent failure to reach
the game contract. Therefore, the
situation SEEM to call for at least
a three-Heart bid by North, which
would call upon South for which
ever game bid he preferS-three No
Trumps or four Hearts. AS a mat
ter of fact, if South bid the three
No TrumpS, North would have to
go to four Hearts, because, as has
been explained in the Auction bid
ding, South's No Trump selection
would not be made with the knoWl-
| edge of North'S abnormal length in
Hearts.
The play in the two games would
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-03-28

be the same. Of course, with the
cards exposed, East would not lead
a Spade. Ills best lead would be a
Diamond, thus winning a Diamond
trick before North could discard his
losing singleton Jack. However, the
Radio Games are not played upon
the double dummy basis of all the
cards being exposed, and for an
East who did not know the loca-
ton of the cards he had not seen,
the proper lead would be the fourth
best Spade.

- W 00O
NEW YORK, March 28.-The
most destructive force in Wall
street" has spent his energy. Jacob
Volk, picturesque house wrecker, is
dead.
No ordinary destroyer was Volk,
but a specialist in q big way, a razer
Of SkyScrapers, the taller the better.
Twenty-Five hundred buildings
crumbled under his workmen's ham,
mers and went tumbling down his
chutes.
Dust to dust" might have been
his slogan, but it would have been
too sentimental. There was no senti-
| ment in Volk where old buildings
| were concerned. He liked so well the
tag once given him by a newspaper
friend that he put it on his signs
Jacob Volk-The Most Destruc-
tive Force in Wall Street"
He loved. If the term is not inept,
to tear down. No structure awed
him. A reporter, I think it was Carl
Helm of the Sun. once asked him if
he would contract to raze the Wool
worth building.
Sure! Why not?" he said. IF
they give me a penalty Or a bonus
I'll tear EN- down. / don't care how
big or how tall they are. Start right
at the top. but in my chutes and
hoppers, and down 1t would come"
TYPICAL SUCCESS STORY
That was the attitude that made
his fortune, that and speed and long
hours. He collected a bonus when a
| building was demolished under the
time limit. Once the bonus vas
$25, ZOO. At that time, he said, he
worked "24 hours a day."
In his office, however, there were
photographs showing him on horse
back in Central park or standing
with members Of the Sullivan clan,
that storied political group Of a for
mer day headed by Big Tim Sulli-
van. And at New Years he dis
tributed handfuls of gold coins to
his intimates.
Born in Russia, he a reared on
New York's east side, where his
father was a butcher. Thirty years
ago he went to work for his uncle,
who was a house wrecker, and on a
salary Of $40 a week saved the $3.50
with which he started up in business
for himself.
The purchase OF two wagons took
all his capital. so he borrowed $40 to
buy a horse and $50 more for har-
ness.
Then you know what happened"
he asked his interviewer. 1.-THE horse
dropped dead! I'm telling you, the
house dropped dead!"
1t was one Of his favorite stories,
and he could well afford to laugh as
he told it. For, although he some
times took losses. they were few. The
job Of tearing down old Delmonico's
on Fifth avenue cost him $4,000
but that was a rare instance. He
made money. even when it cost him
5000 just to get out the KEY of an
arch in a Broadway bank building.
"I've got enough money not to
WORRY much" he said less than three
months ago. Il don't want to keep
on forever
