BY J. P. GLASS.

When Nellie Melba was Nellie Mitch
ell, a little girl in the Australian bush,
she went one day to a school picnic.
She and two other girls wandered off
by themselves and presently came to
cottage. A woman standing in the door
way called out:
what are you doing here, little
girls?"
Nothing" they replied.
The woman invited them into the
house for a glass Of milk, and after
thrill by offering to tell their fortunes.
Nothing exciting was found in the
palms of two of the little girls, but
after the "fortune-teller" had read
Nellie Mitchell's hand she said:
Little girl, you are going to travel a
good deal. You will visit almost every
country in the world. see you every
where in great halls, crowded with peo-
pie. And always all eyes are directed
at you"
Describing this experience in after
life, the great singer declared, II am
not psychic" and explained that she
only narrated the prophecy because it
lis worth recording If only for its COM
plete mystery" However, later she did
have a genuine psychic experience.
This incident tends to support the
belief of David Belasco that the dead
can and do come back to us.
Mrs. David Mitchell, mother of Mel
ba, died in their Australian home while
Nellie was still in her teens. She had
been Ill for years, had full warning
of the approach of dissolution, and SO
summoned her family to her bedside
to give each member final instruction.

We're was the latter's Sister, only 4
years old. Carrying out her mothers

to bed and her nurse and 1Iellie Mitch

too late to send for doctor. AS she
seemed to be resting easily, Nellie
Mitchell decided to retire, too.
She sent the nurse 10 bed, threw
fresh wood on the fire and then lay
back on her pillow, gazing at the flick
ering shadows on the ceiling.

there was third person In the room.
Peering into the half light, saw that

Tongue With Raisin Sauce.

Select a smoked beef tongue weigh
ing about 8 pounds. Soak in cold
water over night or for at least six
hours. Drain, cover with fresh cold
water, add an onion in which have been
stuck three whole cloves, small bay
leaf, one diced carrot and tiny piece
of garlic. Heat to the boiling point
and boil very slowly for one and one
half hours. Lift the tongue from the
water and remove the skin with a
sharp knife, trim off the root end and
serve hot with raisin sauce, or put
back in the water, let cool, chill and

Melt two tablespoons of butter, add
two tablespoons of flour and stir until
we'll blended. Then add one and one
half cups Of the water the tongue was

Easy Milk Soup.

A very good cream vegetable soup
can be very quickly made by adding
milk to any of the good canned vege-
table soup Misunderstanding it instead of
the water that is usually added. 1t is
best to beat the milk to avoid the pos
sibility of curdling if there is tomato il
the soup mixture.
Milk soups are excellent foods for
school children and offer good way of
getting an adequate amount of milk into
the diet when it is difficult to get the
children to drink fresh milk. A good
dishful of this type of soup with plenty
of bread and butter and blanc mango
or rice or bread pudding with fruit
sauce for dessert makes about as nour-
iShing MONDAY meal as can be given.

Nutrition Nuggets.

The present high price of meat is
taxing the ingenuity of many house
keepers whose food budget is limited
and whose families think that they
cannot be satisfied without this form
of protein food. There are many meth
DDS of making a small amount of meat
go a long way, by combining it with
vegetables, with rice or other cereal
Grains, with spaghetti, macaroni, etc.
easy to fool the family into believing
that they are eating the same amount
Of meat.
These dishes are appropriately called
meat extenders,' as the flavor of the
meat is used with, or extended over,
the less expensive foods. Many of the
cereals, when combined with small
amount of meat, can be relied upon to
supply adequate protein to meet the
average requirement.
The use of iodized salt as preven-
ton against goiter has been success
fully tried in Michigan, where simple
among school children by the use of
this product.
According to a recent report by the
American Medical Association, sur
vey that was made in January, 1924,
in Midland County, Mich, showed
that Al per cent of the school children
had goiter. Since that time iodiZed
salt has been used continuously in 81
per cent of the homes in Midland, and
the latest survey shows only 8 per cent
of the children with goiter.
There are, however, other forms in
which iodine can be supplied in Suf-
dcient quantities to meet body re-
quirements. 1t has been proved that
a good source of this mineral is she'll
fish, while some of the seaweeds and
Irish moss contain more iodine than
any other products. These can be
used in the making of jellied desserts,
and may also be used for thickening
soups.
It is said that in at least one place
in New York a Japanese restaurant
has built up a thriving trade by making
a speciality of serving dish made
from seaweed. Perhaps, however, most
of the people who like it and eat it
do so just because they do like it and
do not know that it supplies them with
such large amounts of iodine.

An interesting novelty of the sea-
son is the homemaker'S linear measure
case. 1t is a development of the fancy
yardstick case with which all of us
are familiar. 1t has become more COM
prehensise. It includes. besides the
yardstick, two other linear measures,
9 ruler and tape measure. Each has
its own pocket.
To make one such triple case requires
three pieces of material, or four If the
back is lined. The back portion Is the
longest. This should measure 80 inches
in length, if finished straight, or SO
inches if the top is pointed. The width
should be three or three and half
inches according to the widths Of the
yardstick, and the ruler. The tape
measure will slip into either width
pocket.
The first pocket is IS inches deep.
the second IA inches, and the third 8
inches. They are so disposed that the
openings divide the length into three
nearly equal parts. This will mean
that the ruler pocket must be stitched
to the back so that 15-inch rule
will show l inch. Otherwise it will
drop SO far down that it will be diff
11cult to take out.
Black enamel cloth or imitation
leather is good material for these
handy cases, being rather stiff and
slippery. This makes pockets particu-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-07

larly easy to have the measuring tools
inserted and taken out. Enamel cloth
is apt to be painted with gay splasheS
of color to resemble a Towering vine
in leaf, or blossoms scattered over the
surface Glazed chintz Is decorative
and has the glossy finish and there
fore can be used to advantage. Gre
tonne and printed linen make orna-
mental cases. Plain Sateen or genuine
satin make smart cases, If given some
needle stitchery, especially II the
woman's initials are embroidered on
one Of the pockets.
Bind each pocket. Fit them In the
order given, first the yardstick, then
the rule and last the tape measure
pocket. All come together at the
lower end. Basic in position and bind
with tape, braid, or silk binding to suit
the type of case made.
If the top comes to point, sew a
bone ring in white, black or some
harmonizing color to the tip by which
to hang up the case. If 1t Is finished
straight across the top, sew one OF
the rings to each corner Fit the case
with the yardstick, ruler and tape
measure and the handy novelty is ready
to be hung by the side of the home
makers sewing table. on the inside OF
some door or in whatever place is most
convenient.

Hot Raised Rolls.

third of a yeast cake and dissolve it in
half cupful of lukewarm water, add
teaspoonful of sugar, and stir with the
rest. Mix well with wooden spoon.
Let rise for four hours. 1t should dou-
BILE in bulk by that time. Knead lightly,
shape into a long roll, then cut this
into pieces the size of walnuts. Roll
into balls with the Toured hands and
place close together in creased baking
pan. Cover with clean dish towel and
let rise for half an hour. Brush the
tops with a little milk and bake in
hot oven for about Is minutes.

A Woman in the Cabinet?

Mrs Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky is urged by some
Republican politicians for the post of secretary OF
the interior in the Hoover cabinet Three claims are
advanced in her behalf. She is woman south
erner and a faithful party worker.
Apart from the obvious fact that Hoover ooes mob
need and probably will resent, attempts of the old
guard to pick his official family for him. this Hert
campaign raises several important questions.
Bv returning larger number of women to state
legislatures and congress- the voters have Demon
strated their confidence in the governmental capacity
of women. These electoral choices, however, have
been made usually not because the candidate was
woman but because she believed to be the bet
ter candidate, regardless of sex. Similarly, Hoover
may find certain better fitted for cabinet posts
than available men, This would be welcome de-
velopment.
But it is difficult to believe the basis of Hoovers
record in choosing administrative associates that he

tegent congressional opposition needed to restrain

American consumers already are paying through
the nose to increase profits of no-longer infant in
ddstries Yet STEEL aluminium and other interests
are trying to boost their tariff schedules in the pro-
posed special session of congress after Inauguration
If the Republican party is committed to general
tariff revision upward, it should have told the voters
in the November election. On the contrary, Hoover
and his party limited themselves in the main to de-
tense of the present industrial schedules and promised
to increase agricultural tariffs to close the existing
gap between factory and farm products.
1t is therefore difficult to understand the plans OF
Representative Tson and other Republican leaders
to capture the proposed special farm relief session OF
Congress and turn it into an industrial tariff feast
We share the opinion of most economists that in
creased tariffs farm products will not solve the
agricultural problem, though certainly the farmer
has right to tariff equality with other industries
Since downward revision on factory products is
not in sight, the farmers now grasping at the
only alternative in seeking upward revision farm
products But the plan Of Tilson and the high protec
tonists for general increase result, if success
full, only in widening the factory-farm price gap and
forcing around to the traditional Democratic
solution of a sharp cut in industrial schedules.
Meanwhile, two immediate tariff reforms are
needed. Senator Norris and other protection
lists point out that the tariff commission Is de-
generating from its original status of independent
agency responsible to congress into little than
the Presidents personal board, whose recommended
tons almost without exception for increases.
The provision of the tariff law allowing the
President to change rates up to so per cent to equaze
production COSTS instructs the government to send
agents abroad to pry into the books of foreign
panies
This provision is not only unenforceable, but has
caused much embarrassment 1t is absurd to attempt
to subject foreigners to inspection which American
companies will not permit.
