WHEN Jimmie Gleason, author Of els
" Eat SOP" 1.-THE. Shannons of
Broadway" and other stage successes,
feels q play coming on, he takes his
wife into his confidence and they talk
the thing out thoroughly before the
writing is begun.
1t may be feminine intuition, or it
may be something else, the actor-play-
wright says, but experience has con-
vinced him that Mrs. Gleason's judy
ment is usually unerring. She put the
seal of approval on Els Eat SOP" long
before any producer even knew Glea-
son was writing it and even picked out
what she considered the brightest spots
in the dialogue. Audiences indicated
her judgment and the same Is true of
THE Shannons Of Broadway"
mo matter whether q man Is writ
ing plays or swinging pick" philos-
ophizes Gleason, che needs his wife,s
help and encouragement. Most women
have an uncanny sense Of perception
and fellow can usually play his wife's
bunch clear across the board. This Is
particularly true of Mrs. Gleason. She
knows q laugh the minute she sees it
In the script'of play and this has been
very helpful to me In my work."

cal comedy that ran in New York for
over year at $3.50 admission price
and which features the unique come
dians, the Marx brothers, considered by
many the funniest entertainers on the

same roles they played in the stage
version, supported in their antics by
Mary Eaton and Oscar Shaw, who
were co-starred in the musical COM

The Marx brothers entertainment
ranges from irresistible Glowing to an
enchanting performance on the harp.
When Harpo, the red-headed harpist,
performs he usually stops the show.
Then there is Chico, who plays the
piano in manner that would do most
pianists proud but still and always the
clown, while Grougho, considered fun

AD COPY

Much has been done by the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
to uplift the old form Of advertis,
ing copy which was commonly
seen in every newspaper just about
a year ago.
Present-day indications point to
a still higher standard in this
phase Of the A. & P. system As 1t
Is conceded that the average per-
son enjoys reading an advertise
ment that contains a picture sug'
gestion Of some tempting dish or
combination.
Leading authorities in the adver-'
tising field as well as local news
paper men, have paid comment
to this advancement in the same
degree as the general public has
noticed the decided steps taken
during the past 1S months to ele'
vate the modern A. & p. store
to a complete food market wherein
everything from the proverbial soup
to nuts can be bought.
To substantiate this statement,
one need but visit such prominent
locations as are operated by the
A. & P. Tea Company at Georgia
and New Hampshire Avenues, Con
necticut Avenue and S Street, Co.
lumbia Road and Fourteenth Street,
Thirteenth Street and M; Wisconsin
Avenue and Leland Street. and

WOMEN SHOULD
!. KNOW MEAT
r 'u~@H

:, Besides knowing what q cut is
and where 1t comes from, the
housewife to be q good buyer of
meats should have a knowledge
Of quality as well.
& She must learn to recognize the
points that indicate good meat
slcolor, juiciness, odor, and proper
tions Of fat.
y As an example: A good piece Of
beef should show a bright red color,
and it should be moist and juicy
sas we'll as streaked with fat. There
should be a thick solid edge of
yellow fat of even color-not mot
tled-next to the skin surface.
!. Lamb is judged somewhat differ
sently, and fancy quality can al
ways be distinguished by its deep
pinkish tinge while the fat Is solid
4or firm.
Mutton is the meat cut from the
sheep, and while it is nutritious, it
lis not as tender as lamb. The
~bones of mutton are smooth and
white, whereas the bones of young
lamb are pink.
Good quality veal is that which
Is taken from corn-fattened calves.
There is never any doubt as to
this meat being tender, but to the
contrary the market is always high,
necessitating greater retails being
asked for the various cuts.
Z. Choice veal is always firm in ap-
pearance and appealing to the ap-
iY, Ic
often recommended by physicians
heavier meats.
Loins of pork are always consid-
cred by A. and p. food stores to
be one Of the best values offered
in the fresh meat line.
Loins Of the choicest quality will
average between eight to ten
pounds and good cuts can be dis
-tinguished by the pinkish tinge of
the meat and the whiteness Of Its
fat.
r Housewives should be careful to
see that they do not purchase
pieces that contain too much fat, as
naturally this is wasteful and when
cooked there Is hardly anything re-
naming of the meat.
In this end of the A. and P. food
stores business, 1t is the ambition
OF the management to eventually
train their meat cutters the art of
suggesting various ways Of prepar-
ing meats in their cooked forms as
they realize that 1t is a problem
for them to solve II they wish to
maintain their reputation as the
leading food merchants Of Wash
tneton.

POTATO, APPLE
WEEK, PLAN

The week Of October 70 has been
set aside by the A. q p. food stores
as their annual Potato and Apple
Week.
During this period. fancy Green
Mountain Maine potatoes and sea-
sonable varieties of fancy cooking
and eating apples will be offered
for winter storage. The equivalent
Of 20 carloads of potatoes ana 10
carloads of apples are rolling to
Washington now consigned to the
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com
pany for this sale.
According to agricultural reports,
the potato market 10 high. and
those who can conveniently store
one or two bags Of these fancy
Maine potatoes will realize their
profit during the winter months
when 1t will be necessary to ask
higher retails for current supplies.
A similar statement can b0 made
about apples. AZ toward the end
of the season as the varieties BE-
come scarce, there II naturally
tendency feC an advance on thia
fruit.
It In apparent, then, that the
investment of a few dollars in thia
merchandise while It is being Of
fered at special prices next week
will reflect q saving in the budget
later on and assure you OF good
oualhy throughout the winter.

Canned Foods Play Vital Part
in Civilization

the contents with heat. His first
containers were wide-mouthed bot
ties which often broke when boiled.
He was forced to get glass makers
to prepare bottles which would with
stand the heat. Then he had to
worry about making the bottles air
tight. There were no rubber rings,
no screw or clasp tops. He finally
had to cut cork shoppers by hand
and wire them into place.
The invention OF canning has done
much to make modern civilization
possible. 1t has resulted in the saw
ing of millions of dollars worth OF
farm produce and a reduction In
costs and an improvement in living
conditions. America, Always ready
to see the value of anything 50 I'M
portant to the welfare Of the COM
munity, has brought the canning In
dustry to almost an incredible state
of perfection.
Canned goods are handled In
abundance at A. & P. stores In

Napoleon, the man Of destiny,
can hardly be associated with the
kitchen; yet 1t was that great soldier
who gave to the world, in an indi-
rect manner, the fine art Of preserv-
ing foods by canning.
Napoleon knew that the strength
Of his army depended upon its wei.
fare, knew that the army marches
on its stomach" knew that the
soldiers could not continue in health
with tho continual rations Of salt
meat and hard-tack and the food
picked up while on the march; so
he offered a prize of 1000 francs,
small fortune at that time, to any
one who would invent a way to pre-
serve varieties of food.
A French scientist, Nicholas Ap-
pert, after years Of experimenting,
developed the process and received
the prize in 1909.
He had no easy task. There were
no tin cans TO start with. He knew
that the secret lay in providing air
tight containers and then sterilizing
