COOKS FIND NEW
Value OF SUGAR
Vegetables More Delicious
When Cooked New Way

Two groups Of women, all famous
cooking experts. recently conducted
a series of tests TO find the most
tasteful way of preparing vege-
table dishes. In every case, after
the various ways of cooking vege-
tables were tried. the experts
unanimously voted in favor of
using only little water and add
ing sugar in cooking vegetables
One group of experts recommends
this unusual recipe for baked apples
and onions. Slice medium-size
apples and six medium-size onions
into a creased casserole in alter
nate layers, seasoning with salt,
pepper, Y cup of sugar, and 2 table
spoons butter. Add Y cup water
and bake in a moderate oven
$3.50 F. about q of an hour.
The sugar adds not only to the
taste but also to the food and energy
value of the vegetables, so that
they are not only valuable vitamiD
foods, but foods that furnish work
ing power to the individual. Use a
liberal dash Of sugar, depending on
the quantity cooked, with peas.
lima beans, string beans, corn, car
rots, beets. parsnips, sweet potatoes.
squash, onions and tomatoes. Good
food promotes good health The
Sugar Institute.

Is Erndcd

Day after day ttaSe youthful
tragedies are duplicated as youth
is caught in the maelStrom of sex
which it does not understand and
for which it is not at all prepared.
Meanwhile our school curricula
are filled with science and math
and languages and history, Strug-
Cling with which youth pursues
grades. while every fiber of its be-
ing is concerned with things infin-
iteIv more real and puzzling, TO
which school authorities give no
KEYS.
When one attempts TO do so he
is hguratively or literally ridden out

Flaming Middle Age

CNOBBISHNESS is not unknown
~ beyond university cloisters, but I
know no other field in which it
hourishes so abundantly.
Contrary to the pattern of other
countries. most Americans do their
experimenting with liberal theories
in middle age and beyond. With us
socialism is seldom an ailment Of
adolescence. The national practice
is to get rich first and grow liberal
afterWard.
I've heard a lot about the imag-
ination and the vision of youth but
7 must say have met it infrequent-
II. And very seldom in the colleges.
The fault, and I think it Is fault
lies in college spirit. The under
graduate tradition is Of regimenta-
ton.
Football is a jealous god. 1t de-
mands unity of action and feeling
from a large body of youngsters at
the time they should be developing
individuality and diversity of feel
ing.
The man on the field submits
faithfully to hard and fast rule
from the coach. which would seem
to him the grossest tyranny If it
we're imposed by a professor.
A student can question an in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-04-18

curiosity are lat blooming plants IN
American life.
John Reed, who died in Russia a
flaming partisan of the communist
cause, was my ciasSmate. AS a Har-
ward under graduate he was wholly
conventional young fellow who
belonged to the more exclusive clubs
and took it hard when Yale won
the football game.
The extent of red radicalism at
Cambridge in those days may be
shown by the fact that Walter
Lippmann was considered the leader
Of the extreme left. Mr.. Lippmann
has moved a shade to the right
wing since then, but he was not
really rampant as an under-gradu-
ate.
AS far as I can remember, Reed
took not the slightest interest in
any radical movement until he was
two or three years out of college. 1t
was no professor, but Pancho Villa
who first aroused in Reed a feeling
for the romanticism of the radical
movement. He was, think, even at
the end, a sentimental communist.
