BY SALLY MONROE,


The art Of making meat pies Is an
old one. Centuries ago English cooks
prided themselves on their skill in
making beefsteak pies, rabbit pies,
| pigeon pies and lark pies.
| To the modern housewife meat pies
are worth cultivating
They are useful because they offer
pr practical meth0d Of using up left
They are delicious because by Just
the right sort Of seasoning and careful
cooking the richest navorS Of the meat
Here are some Of the different sorts
Of meat pie:
To begin with, there is the pie-crust
pie. This calls for the leftover meat
in moderately deep baking dish. Then
the round of pie crust, properly. pricked
| and slit, is stretched easily over the
top Of the dish and pressed down at
the edge. If you wish, you can put
an inverted cup in the center Of the
dish. The gravy gathers under this,
and moreover the cup acts as a prop
for the crust. Then when serving.
ing to the table, haul out the cup
and replace the crust
The meat for pie must be sim
mered until tender, If 1t Is at all
tough. Added water must be used to
make a good amount of gravy The
whole must then be we'll seasoned and
slightly thickened. II you want, add
boiled onions and bits of boiled car
rots to give body, flavor and addition
al size to the pie.
The biscuit crust is made In q slight
ly deeper dish, with moderately thick
crust, which should be rather slowly
good brown.
Mashed potato crust makes a shep-
herds pie out Of the concoction and,
Of course, this Is delicious and espe-
cially wholesome for children.
Then there Is O bread crust pie. The
dry bread Is finely crumbed and
moistened into thick paste with milk
and beaten egg and seasoned well
Then it Is spread thickly over the
baking dish and baked until brown

meat pie try it, for it is really de-
licious.

Shallot, or eSchalot, Is something like
onion, with a similar flavor. It is
in the form Of small bulbs in clusters,
similar to garlic, but has a more deli

be used as a substitute, as 1t is not
obtainable In most American stores.

Handling the Curtains.
Handle curtains carefully when wash
ing squeezing and working them rather
than rubbing. Cream, ecru and brown
curtains may be retinted. Add strong
solution Of tea Or coffee or combina-
ton Of the two slowly to the hot water
until the desired tint is produced when
tested on a piece of muslin. Brown
cotton dyes can be used In very weak
solutions and should first be tested on
a sample to get the right shade. Re-
move the curtain as soon as the desired
shade is obtained. Stiffen curtains
slightly with gelatin or gum arabic
rathen than starch.
Curtain stretchers do not cost much
and soon pay for themselves In saving
time and wear and tear on the curtains.
Most curtains hang better If stretched
into shape rather than ironed. When
buying curtain stretchers 1t Is well to
pay little more for a good, rigid kind
th&t can also be used for drying blank
cts. Blankets dried on stretcher keep
their shape. Stationary pins are the
most satisfactory and substantial to
use.
If curtain stretchers are not used for
drying, you can spread q sheet on the
moor, mark OF the size desired, and
pin the curtains to the sheet, stretch
ing where necessary. You can also put
wet curtains on, their rods to dry or

RESTAURANT Is
WELL MANNED
Owners Are Well Known
Restaurant Men of This
Section

The Blackstone cafe, located at
418 Twelfth street, is owned ana
operated by a group that has a
strong faith in the future OF the
Valley. These men are Spero Allis,
Gus Allis and Nick Buleres. They
sare veteran restaurant men and
are known from Rio Grande City
to Brownsville.
Gus came to the Valley early In
1916, saw what he believed to be
great possibilities and settled down
after sending for his brother,
Spero. Restaurants here under
their management include the
Manhattan, Travellers, and Black
stone. They also owned numerous
projects in the upper section OF
the Valley. At the time they
opened the new Manhattan cafe in
San Benito, it was regarded as the
finest in the entire Valley.
Before hotels over this section
installed dining rooms, the Black
stone was famous as a banquet
hall. Nearly all large gatherings
from over the Valley were held in
its special room. They made a
speciality OF land parties and serv-
ed record breaking crowds.
The Blackstone at present has a
seating capacity of IS, counter and
table places included. Gus attends
to the affairs of the office while
Spero, an expert cook, presides
e the kitchen. They have sur
rounded themselves with a veteran
staff Of cooks and walters, and
are in a position to render the best
of restaurant service. Consequent
ly they have a large following OF
regular customers.
They are firm believers in the
future of the Valley.
When 1 first came here in 1915,
there wasn't much to this country"
Gus said, but / saw possibilities
and stayed on. 1 have been more
than justified in my decision to
remain here. The Blackstone al
ways boosts the Valley in every way
possible.
when The Herald inaugurated
its campaign to have people of this
section use the surplus production
of Valley potatoes it came some
what as a surprise to me We al
ways use Valley products in pref
ence to all other Kinds" Gus said.
Buleres also is a veteran reStau-
rant man, having been in that line
of business in San Antonio and
Corpus Christi over a long span of
years. He still has interests in
Corpus Christi.

English Merchant Predicts
Americans Will Cap

LONDON, April q. Up Sir
Charles Higham, one OF Britain's
leading advertising experts, fore
casts that America will capture the
worlds markets through her adj
vertising and salesmanship enter
prise.
Speaking before the Publicity club
of London on "the trend Of Amer
lean advertising" Sir Charles said:
1T is more and more toward the
newspapers. The copy is better than
ever. Slang and jazz design is pass
ing. The American people respond
to advertising more keenly than
ever. Practically everything good
is trademarked and advertised. The
American woman buys practically
nothing that is not guaranteed by
the makers.
THE instalment method Of selling
is growing in America and nearly
everything can be bought on this
plan. 1t has played a big part in
AIIleI I'D D anu III Ily
opinion would help us tremendously
here If we adopted it generally.
America will soon be a big adj
vertiser in the export market. She
is determined to capture the world
markets and we may well look to
our laureis. We need to push for
export also, or mark my words, we
shall lose it. The prince of Wales
is right-we have got to buck up,
stimulate our craftsmanship and ad-
v~ertise.
1.-The manner in which American
business houses back up their sales
manship abroad is simply aston
ishing. No expense is spared.
Quotations and samples are sent
by air mail where possible. The
salesman cables or telephones in
stead of writing. The home office
welcomes his inquiries and the
sales organization behind the Am
erican traveller in the foreign field
would stagger many Of our manu-
facturers at home"

When you sit in a warm room with
a fire cracking in the fireplace and
look out the window at the snow as
it swirls down in a bitter, biting
wind, you are hardly likely to think
of the wonders of that commonplace
article glass. Glass has been with
us 50 long that it is taken for grant,
ed but nevertheless its process of
manufacture and history is most in
teresting.
The Brownsville Glass Co., 1853
Levee, has on display in its win
dows the ingredients necessary to
manufacture glass. They r sand,
soda ash, carbon, cullet, lime and
salt cake. Little improvement has
been made in the manufacture OF
glass since its discovery by the an
clients. The most recent improve
ment of the old product is a new
process by which the glass can be
drawn in flat sheets, whereas it was
formerly blown in cylinders and
flattened. Under the old process, an
absolutely flat face was impossible
but this al be accomplished by the
process used by the Libbey- Owens

One DAVIS News.

Anything doing today? So runs the
usual question regarding the happenings
in the world that go to make up the
quantum of news in the daily paper.
Some days there are few events or de-
velopments of especial interest or i'm
portance. Again there are many oc-
currences, coinciding to make lively
array of dramatic situations.
Today the news wires have brought
an unusually varied and interesting Sc
quence of unrelated STORIES" any one
of which would constitute feature OF
especial importance on an average day.
Here is a summation of these happen
ings, in brief:
In consequence Of an unusually
severe storm on the Great Lakes several
ships are in trouble, and at least one
hundred and forty persons are in peril,
perhaps have persisted from the fury
of the seas. A bulletin states that
twenty three seamen and officers OF a
stranded ship have been rescued In
Lake Huron by Coast Guard cutter
This situation may develop into one OF
the major tragedies of American mari
time history.

laboratory of the consolidated film In
