Message to Autocracy

We heard from Labor Day
orators the story of 5000, 900
breadwinners out of jobs, and
these figures are not honest
figures. since breadwinners
have dependents, and there are
100000 men, women and
children, in this, the richest
country in the world, who are
tragic victims of a system we
now know to be unsafe, and in
spots indecent.
In New York city alone
1900 people have taken their
own lives within the year be-
cause our industrial and social
system had made no provision
for them. Many thousands who
would rather steal than starve
have turned to crime; and it
is sheer nonsense, cowardice
and hypocrisy to ignore unem-
ployment in seeking the cause
for the unprecedented crime
wave.
The problem will be solved by
drastic changes in the indus
trial and social system, and
Nicholas Murray Butler warns
us that now-at this very hour
we are facing "the full and
final test"
Business and Financial
Leaders Face Test
And among those facing the
"full and final test" are the
business and financial leaders
of the nation. Men engaged
in business to make money.
When they make vast profits
we say they are men of brains.

Nothing so important as good cup
OF coffee for Christmas breakfast, din
ner and supper, too. Try this to give
the brew q finer flavor: Place the
amount Of ground coffee you intend to
use in saucepan and set it in a hot
oven for three minutes before making.
1t will taste and smell just like the
fresh-roasted bean. If coffee has
boiled too long, as when reheating for
extra service. add speck Of salt to
remove the bitter taste.
When making Christmas cakes or
hot breads that include raisins try
rolling the raisins in melted butter be-
fore adding them to the cake batter.
This will tend to keep them in the

from sinking to the bottom of the pan.

AS with most other vegetables, in
addition to the usual quantity of salt,

will mellow and improve its flavor.
How many have cooked 1t in this way:
Remove the leaves from a white, clean
head Of caulifiower cut off stalks and
soak 80 minutes with the head down In
cold water to cover. Now put 1t in q
saucepan with the head up; add one
quart boiling water. one pint milk, one
tablespoon salt and one teaspoon sugar.

Satisfy (or, as it is sometimes called.

Ice. And do not be disappointed when
name it-Saratoga chips. For they
are not the usual chips, but monstrous
chips made not from ordinary small
potatoes, mind you, but from the big
Idaho potatoes used for baking
Pare and slice these potatoes length
wise instead OF across the rounds. Soak
the chips in ice water for about an
hour, drain and dry between towels,
then fry in deep fat until delicate
brown. Drain on paper, sprinkle slight
ly With salt. Before using, sprinkle with
grated cheese, pop them into the oven
until the cheese melts slightly, and
serve hot with light meal
Now for the roast pig. Prepare him
for the oven as you would fowl and
stuff with nice bread stuffing seasoned
highly with chopped pimiento and sage.
Basic frequently and roast on all sides
until evenly Drowned and done, but DO
not cook this tender meat too dry. With
the pig as the piece de resistance I
would suggest menu like this:
Grapefruit
Chicken Broth with Vermicelli
Roast Pig
Candied Sweet Potatoes
Mashed Yellow Turnips
Chiffonade Salad
Cranberry Pie
Christmas Bon Bons Mixed Nuts
Coffee
In addition to the delicacy of this
meat for the Christmas dinner you will
find 1t excellent when served cold for
luncheon or supper. And you may even
make a salad of the fine white meat
which many consider as tempting as
chicken.
You must not confuse young sucking
pig with the usual roast pork dish. It
is entirely difIerent--in its way Is
great a treat to the epicure as Is the
finest turkey.

Pleasing the Man
By CHLOE JAMISON,

WHEN it comes to Christmas din
ner, no member of the family is
easier to please than is the host him
self. The hearty foods that are typi-
cal Of the season are entirely to his
taste.
But what the man of moderate In
come will enjoy most this year is the
knowledge that his holiday feast
complete, delicious, perfect in each de-
tail-has been planned within a rea-
sonable budget. If you manage to &C
complish this feat, do not be secretive
about it. Tell him proudly not be-
fore, but after the meal, as he sits
signing with satisfaction over its
goodness.
There are many ways IN which to
plan wisely for the special menu. You
may have said, We will have goose
this Christmas; it is less expensive than
turkey" When calculated by the pound
price, this Is quite true. But remem-
Der that the bones of a goose are broad
and heavy: there Ii not great amount
OF meat on its frame-and much fat.
You will pay more for turkey but
you'll have more for the money spent
Aside from the meat, cranberries
and dessert, which should be as festive
as possible, no one will notice whether
in-between items are the usual ones
OF . weekday dinner, or whether you
have gone in for extravaganza
II Is little odds and ends like fancy
pickles and preserves: salted nuts and
bonbons, whipped cream (not needed
in the rich menu, favors and frills
that overload holiday expenditures for
food.
Come to think Of it, they are fem
mine trinkets-nct mans idea of
perfect meal. So far as he is con-
cerned, you can clip them right of the
menu, and he will be only pleased by
your common sense bills for such
sensible, substantial meal!
