PLEASING THE MAN
By CHLOE JAMESON.

IF the man is at all proud of his
= home and his wife as hostess, 1t is
the delight of his life to bring home
business friends-nat for formal dim
ners, but for the intimate, impromptu
meals that melt even the NEST COM
mercial spirit, when they are carried
on IN an unaffected, homelike way.
Simple menus go better on these &C.
easions than do more elaborate efforts.
Usually they begin with a fruit or a
| Seafeod cocktail or cream soup, which
may be anything from aristocratic
mushroom hisque to an inexpensive
chowder made with canned corn, gar
niShed with minced parsley and a few
golden brown croutons.
The meat course is invariably sue
cessful If it consists OF hFeiled lamb
chops with nothing more fussy than
buttered peas and parsley or au gratin
of individual planks, yeu can arrange
. mixed grill Including q broiled chop
Cor even q plebeian beef patty, a link
of fine sausage and a strip of bacon,
surrounded by gFilled tomato, a mound
OF shredded string beans, few sauted
mushrooms, Hith q rose of mashed
potato to finish the garland
With such q substantial core fer the
muen. there need be only the simplest

of lettuce salad with Reauefort dressing
or q chilli sauce mayonnaise. Ice cream
may be ordered from the neighborhood
drug store, and served with hot car
amel or chocolate sauce, but the feel
ings of no one will be hurt If dessert
consists Of huge tray of fresh fruits
from which one may make Several Sc
leetions. Coffee, of eourse-the finest
most aromatic liquid you are capable
of brewing, served with plenty of thick
rich cream-will be needed to complete
the meal.
We remember a time when teIe-
phones were not; neither were there
grecers, fruit stands. delicatessens
bakeries nor drug stores within easy
reach. Yet hostesses met with lusty
meals and unfiuryied gfacieusness the
emergency guests of that day. Surely,
with all handicaps removed In this
era, the same spontaneous hospitality
should be possible for the modern
home.

are not available. butter and cube some
slices of stale bread and put on top OF
scallaped dishes before putting them in
the oven. Buttered toast may also be
cubed and used for this purpose.

Cake batter Is liable to vary in thick
ness. 70 test. and 1t also applies to
mullins, is to lift the batter up with a
spoon and hold 1t at arms length. If 1t
runs from the sReen to the bowl and
breaks about half way between the spoon
and the bowl. 1t is just right. If 1t runs
all the way down 1t Is too thin. If it
breaks at the sPeen 1t Is too thick.
Drep-ceoky batter, however. should
break at the spoon. and waffle and grid

to the bowl.
Gelatin desserts are useful because
they can be prepared ahead of time.
When making them the process may be
fastened II small amount of water is
added to the gelatin and the mixture
Is melted over hot water. This may then
be combined with the remainder of the
liquid uHheated and congealing takes
place quickly. When the dish is to be
served. hold the mold in hot water for
q second or two to soften, then turn
upon q platter that is wet. It may
then be moved with ease.

Opposition by the Chamber of Commerce to the

ers, is not surprising. The chamber has a record
for opposition to public demands It's vision on pub
lie matters can be most kindly described as conser-
vative.
While there may be for the state
ment Of Governor Leslie that no definite plan of
Wsing tax laws has been agreed upon, the greater
truth Is that special session would more nearly
accomplish fairness than would a regular session,

Going and Coming

While the United States department of labor
tries to clear the land of alleged radical aliens, the
state department with equal autocratic power keeps
American radicals at home
The case of Paul F. Kassay, Cleveland mechanic,
reveals an ronic situation in Washington. Kassay
is Hungarian by BIRTH American by naturalization
Last summer he was arrested under the Ohio GRIM
inal Syndcasm law on a charge OF sabotaging the
navy new drigble Akron. Judge Wannemaker
dismissed the charge a defense demurrer and
ruled the Ohio syndicalism law unconstitutional An
appeal is being taken to the Ohio supreme court.
Last July Kassay applied for passport to go to
Hungary to settle estate promising to return This
the state department denied the ground that the
department does not believe that would be compat-
able with the public interest"
Behind this surprising decision is said to be the
plan of Ohio authorities to rearrest Kassay II the
Ohio high court should find the law unconstitutional
While admitting Communist sympathies Kassay
denied he is Communist that he planned to in
lure the Akron. No evidence of sabotage was dis
covered
The state department claims absolute right to
issue deny passports at its own discretion ana us
passport records are sealed jealousy from public in
spection Federal Judge Booth of Minnesota ruled
in 1928 that the granting of passports is discretionary
with the state department. The 1876 law uses tne
word may" instead of must"

ing out of the country alien radicals and another
holding back American radicals, it is plain thaC no

ment of labors autocratic power in deportatons was
challenged by the Wickersham commission, which
urged a court to hear appeals from the SecretaryS
decisions There also should be some appeal from the

Congress Wants to Rest

Congress proposes to take a two weeks vacation
over the holidays. That shows how far out of touch
with the country of the congressional leaders
really are.
Apparently they do not know that few Amer
leans Will take long vacation this year, except the
millions who are unable to get work
After nine months vacation, the congressional
leaders might be expected to want to get to work and
to keep at work-just for a change if nothing more
And yet after only two weeks of labor since last
spring, they now plan fortnight of recuperation
Those leaders rightly blamed the President for his
refusal to call a special session of congress in the
early fall to face the serious legislative problems
arising from the depression the moratorium the for
egn crisis, and the dangerously large federal deficit
Following the failure of the administration to ad-
adequate relief measures of it's own the coun-
try came to look to congress for aid
Now, with the hopes of the country resting with
it, will congress be insensibe to its duty that it
will run away to play while the country waits and
suffers?
Even those congressional leaders who feel sense
of duty in this matter at least should have enough
political shrewdness to sense the public resentment
over this two weeks holiday proposal.
We hope that Senators Borah and La Toilette will
be successful in their effort to cut the Christmas
recess to, five days.

Romance Is Needed

T ludlow explains in some de-
- tail just what he means by ro-
nance in architecture.
What is meant by romance?"
Ludlow continues. ut may be a
desire to escape, to get into the land
where am not. Escape, to get out
of the dreary, or at least common
place here and now, to transcend
the baseness and cruelty inherent in
what we know as facts, to have play
for the untamed center of the be-
ing that can never be reconciled
to its bondage
Perhaps romance in architecture
is poetry, telling a story in SYM
!bols, in pictures, in suggestion. It
may be story of old times and
customs, told by clothing modern
frames in ancient habiliments.
ut may be story of the mar
velouS way that structural materials
are woven together to serve the
modern way of living.
IF the imagination is not excited
to see something more than the &C
tual in our buildings, if it is not
stirred to tell a tale of something
beautiful, something fanciful, some
thing thrilling, there is no romance.
eff architecture is simply mat
ter of the most practical way to
house our wants, we should not
search architecture for beauty and
romance, and it looks very much
as if machine age were impelling
US that way"

ing the place to be searched, and
the persons or things to be seized.
In reading over your newspaper
observed the article pertaining to
the death of one person, Homer
Ingersoll, caused by the police of
the city of Indianapolis. Here was
one man who was poverty stricken
and was forced to use every inf1u-
ence man possesses to provide for
a needy family and sickly wife.
This panic which has been 60
ing all over this country and put
ting men out of work eventually
tends to break down the morale of
mankind.
Here, Mr.. Editor, we have a case
where police officers, acting outside
of their capacity, walk into a mans
home without a just cause or even
probable cause, as the Constitution
sets out, and place fear in a man,
which caused his death, only
through the complaints of some
jealous of prejudiced neighbor.
If the officers had acted in their
capacity, instead of being visitors
to the mans home, they would
have placed the man under arrest
and then searched his home, there
by obtaining enough evidence to
place him under arrest. Instead,
they placed him in q resting place
for the rest of his life.
Do you think this a justice to the
public?
