ACTION ON BRAND
THIS TERM DUBIOUS
Public Utilities Commission
er's denomination Still
in Committee.

With his nomination still pending
in the Senate District committee, and
adjournment of Congress rapidly ap-
preaching. it appeared today that Col
Harrison Brand. jr. would not be con-
flrmed for another term on the Public
Utilities Commission, unless there should
be an unforeseen change in the situa-
ton.
The chances of Henry H. Classic for
confirmation as a justice of the Dis
Erict Supreme Court likewise were grow
ing remote this afternoon as each hour
went by without Senate action.
If Congress does not act on these
nominations before adjournment Mon
day the nominations will expire and
the incoming President would make
appointments to fill both positions.
The Senate District committee held
an executive session several days ago
and considered the appointment of Col
Brand, but there was a difference. of
opinion and the nomination was not
voted upon. The committee has not
held another meeting since. .......
The nomination OF Mr.. Classic has
been favorably reported by the judiciary
committee by vote of 9 to Z. but his
chances for confirmation in the short
time remaining did not appear bright
this afternoon.

Another method of broiling fish
Is the following:

pan. Then alternate thin slices OF
onion, tomato and green pepper

the fish can cook without scorching.
Broil until the fish is tender.

paste with a little water. Season

layer Of this stuffing between
every two filletS. Spread melted
butter or oil over the surface
OF the fillets. place in a baking
pan with one-half cupful of hot
water and bake in hot oven Of
$50 degrees F. for 20 minutes or
until tender. Remove to a hot
platter and serve with tomato

Cook one tablespoonful of finely
minced onion in three tablespoon
fuls of tat until tender. Add three
tablespoonfuls of flour and stIs

Great care must be taken In the
cooking and serving Of left.overs.
Make the dishes attractive; little
parsley, thinly sliced pickles, sliced
lemon. or hard-cooked egg make
inexpensive and appetizing decora.
tions. It is most satisfactory, in
these days of expensive living, to
succeed In making left.overs so that
they are thoroughly appreciated and
1t is well worth the little trouble
taken.
In any Of the following recipes
calling for sliced meat, 1t is diff
cult to give the exact number Of
slices required, because the slices
are bound to vary In size. But in
every case, see that the meat Is
cut in slices as thin as wafAxS.
This adds greatly to the palatability
of a leftover meat dish. In all
the recipes designating sliced meat,
use enough to weigh from three
quarters Of a pound to one pound.
Palatable Methods
The following methods of serving
will make palatable even boiled beef
'WAAAShf AAdNS DCSH- ISlI
making soup stock. etc. These
directions may also be used for
preparing left.overs Of roast beef or
pot roast:
Cut the beef into very thin
slices. Cream together two table.
spoonfuls of butter or margarin,
one tablespoonful of chopped pars.
ley, one.half teaspoonful of salt and
one-eighth teaspoonful of pepper.
Add slowly one tablespoonful OF
lemon juice. Spread a little OF
this mixture over each slice Of beef,
using about three-quarters of a
pound OF the beef.
Arrange the slices Of beef thus
prepared in a creased baking dish,
add five tabIespoonfuls of hot stock
or water and sprinkle over all two
tablespoonfuls of fine, dried bread
or cracker crumbs. Bake in hot
oven 10 minutes-no longer, or the
meat will dry and toughen. Serve
baked potatoes with this. Thinly
sliced corn beef is delicious pre-
pared by this recipe. Omit the
salt in this case.
Interlard with Bacon
For another method Of prepara.
ton, cut two slices of bacon in
small Dice and try out in a hot fry
ing pan. Add two small onions and
one Glove of garlic very finely
