Herbs May
Be Groom to
AdUantage
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

If YOU are planning to replant
your perennial border this fall, con-
slider the sweet herbs along with the
delphinium and pyrethrum.
A corner given over TO sage and
thyme and as many herbs as you
have room for, will prove most sat
isfactory as a part of your garden.
Because of their aromatic bouquet,
these herbs add much to the flavor
of all foods, but are particularly
valuable in soups and salads where
elusive and intriguing flavorS are
needed.
Most of the sweet herbs which
can be grown in the garden are
used in cooking. Some, such as
lemon verbena and sweet lavender,
are deliciously fragrant and delight
full to dry and use in the household
linen cupboardS.
Store for Winter
Many of the sweet herbs can be
dried and stored for winter use.
Some can be used fresh, just as
they come from the garden. Bor-
age, burnet, sweet basil, thyme, sage
and savory are used after being
dried Chives, parsley, dill, chervil
and mint are used fresh as well as
dried.
Some of the herbs are perennial
and, when once established, will
come year after year Thyme, for
instance, is perennial plant which
grows in the form of a small shrub
from six to ten inches high.
The young leaves and shoots only
are used. Sage and sweet mario
ram both are perennial plants.
The ''fagot of herbs" or kitchen
bouquet usually contains bay-leaf,
parsley, pepper-pod, carrot, celery
and chiveS. Soups and Stews sea-
soned with these herbs have a
savoriness quite impossible to gain
by other means. The secret of fine
cooking lies in the seasoning.
Used for Stufings
Sage, thyme, savory and mar
|
poultry and meats.
Dill, caraway, fennel, mustard,
burnet, horseradish and mint are
used in sauces and are pungent
and stimulating
Herb vinegars are particularly
worth while to have on hand for
salad dressings. Basil, tarragon,
garlic and parsley vinegars are cas-
ily made at home.
They often are the source of the
indeScribable taste found in French
dressings served in fine hotels and
restaurants.
Basil vinegar is made by sleeping
the leaves in vinegar. For two
weeks the vinegar is heated each
day and poured over the leaves.
The infusion is strained and more
basil added until the desired
strength is obtained.
Garlic Vinegar Good
Tarragon vinegar should be
made in August when the leaves
are at their best, although the
UIl6Q leaves always CdIl Oe uS6Q.
Four cups of hot vinegar are
poured over one cup of fresh
leaves sand allowed to stand three
weeks, stirring each day. Then
the vinegar is strained and bot
tied ready for use.
Garlic vinegar is unusually good
for summer vegetable salads. Head
lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers,
new cabbage-in fact, any vegetable
served with French dressing made
with garlic vinegar gains a distinc-
tive flavor that is sure to be liked.

GARLIC VINEGAR
Six cloves of garlic, 8 leaves

Crate nutmeg. Squeeze juice
from lemons. Heat vinegar to the

Civilization follows the sword, but population and prosperity now follow the motor car. The United States has 26.50D 900 motor cars.
 4'Three million miles of highway have made these ears tributary to the successful development of the Pacific Coast States. Seventy million tour fists are now coming to California via motor every month From Tia Juana to Vancouver stretches today the longest paved highway in the world Billions have been spent to develop tbe area contiguous to that highway. NorthWard from Vancouver for E years the pathfnders of British Co lumbia have been extending their Highways. In 1859 British Columbia had 3 gold strike. Two hundred mil lion dollars was taken from the Cari- hou district, and Her Majesty Queen Victoria sent 3 detachment of her own Royal Engineers to the Fraser RiYer te build a highway. The rock walls built by those engineers remain in use today, evidence of the inten- tion of permanenee and engineering skill. Last year the various links of fi.at road system through the scenic Fraser river were completed and de- elared open to the public. Today thou sands of motors are rolling over per feet paved and gravel roads that lead 750 miles fro mVancouyer through the Land of the Golden Twilight to the delightful village off Hazelton.

 British Columbia now has 22,000 miles of Highways. 66o,oe0 people, and still the north one-third of Brit ish Columbia has no roads. British Columbia is larger than California, Oregon and Washington combined.
 Premier Simon Fraser Talneie of that great province is the leader in promotion of the extension of the Pa ,cifc International Highway north and westward up through the Yukon Ter ritory to the Land of the Midnight Sun.
 a"Ihe largest and most promising mineral zone of all Canada lies or. the eastern slope of the coast range in the soneFthird of British Columbia which is now landioeked by the pan handle of Southeastern Alaska. The famous 5Cassiar gold district, the Sti- kine and the Mass will be opened and developed by the northen extension of this highway. This summer the aerial surveys have been completed from iron Hazelton to beautiful Lake At flin-500 miles through q virgin coun- try of .trappers, explorers and scat tered prospectors; a land where mil. lions of waterpQwer is nov rushing wasted behind the great pulp and timber sections of Southeastern Alaska.

The Yukon surveys state that that section can be built with 3 good gravel surface for about $500 per mile The Yukon river would be crossed at Dawson by ferry which is already in local operation.
 The Alaska highway system which radiates from Fairbanks now leads north to the village of Circle on the Yukon and south to the port of Val deg on the Pacific coast. There are in the immediate system at present approximately 300 miles of excellent gravel road traversing not only 3 magnifcent scenic mineral section. but passing through millions of acres of future wheat and barley land. The MI tNSS AAAPpN IT ~1iSokd ltlio show the Pacific international main line can no doubt connect advantage ously with the existing Alaskan sys- tenn at point about 90 miles from Fairbanks.

"L'AudGce, toujours, L'au-
dGce."
"But audacity is not genius,
my dear Whistler"
"No, nor is impertinence crttt-
ciSm."
The three authors of "Mr.
Whistler" which opened last night
at the National, have evolved out
of some of the incidents in the
life of the great American painter
a play of no little charm but OF
very little vitality.
The audience seemed quite cap
tivated by this character sketch
of tn audacious Jimmy" Whist
ler, with his tremendous conceit
and buffoopery, that shocked the
art world of London and cost
him for time the friendship OF
those who could set him on the
road to fame.
The chief dramatic interest of
the production centers about the
lawsuit in which one of his pa
irons" Sir William Hardy, sues
Whistler for the possession of the
portrait of Lady Violet Hardy.
The play already has three au'
thorS and it might seem presump-
tuous for this reviewer to make a
fourth hand, but what seems to be
lacking is second act with a real
dramatic punch, let us say a court
scene in which the audacious
Jimmy might very well get off
some of his sparkling epigrams
and telling blows at the art critics
AS it is, the play gets off slowly
and never gains momentum until
the third act, wherein the romance
of Whistler and his Little White
Girl" is developed.
Richard Hale was an excellent
choice for the role of THE
Master" as his adoring coterie
refer to Whistler. Miriam Doyle
is also deserving of considerable
praise as the painters model and
inspiration, while Diantha Patti
son, is a glowing, lovely Lady
Violet.
The three authors, Pauline
Hopkins, Sarah Curry and A. E.
Thomas do not presume" to
have fashioned a play that is
historically accurate. Sufficient
that they have made the gallant
figure of Jimmy" Whistler live
again.-T. D. r.

Nine strong contestants, repre-

the more than 300 entrants in the
Fox Theater'S West Indies Christ
mas Holidays Cruise contest for
local Federal and Municipal en-
ployes, which opened at the FOX
on November 81 and ends with the
theater's last show December 10.
Miss Anna M. Hook, popular
chief operator of the Commerce
Departments telephone exchange.
was. leading on a recent count of
ballots with 3.761 votes, while
Miss Frances Brilliant, clerk in
the division of supplies and ac-
counts of the Navy Department,
followed as comparatively close
second with 3,197 votes.
Another dangerous opponent IN
the two-weeks contest for the
attractive holiday cruise is Mrs.

division of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, who showed
total of 1852 votes in the
recent count.

After the Hungarian fashion,
Paul Lukas will have a scanty
but ceremonious meal on Xmas
Eve. This includes wine soup,
grilled carp, walnut-cake roll and
apples. On Christmas day, how
ever, there'll be a big feast at
noon-time featuring pig-soup with
vinegar, roast duck, roast pig,
sweet and sour red cabbage, fenk
and fried noodles with jelly and
walnutS.
Because the French greet
Christmas eve with gay parties,
Maurice Chevalier will hold open
house for his friends. If he had
any children, they would put
their shoes on the doorstep in
stead of hanging up their stock
ings. Adults over there have to
wait until New Year Eve to
receive their gifts.
Following an old Spanish Gus
tom, Conchita Montenegro will
attend the mass of the rooster at
midnight Christmas Eve. Next
day she'll sleep till noon (ckay
if you haven't any kids). It
seems the Spanish are even more
patient than the French about
their presents. While getting
them on Xmas, they don't open
them till the Feast of the King,

proSaic life Of Archie Dayis and
his faithful wife, Jennifer, in the
suburban village of West Hills,
N. j.
Comforting Theme
These are everyday incidents
in the lives of commonplace peo-
pie, seldom touched by exciting
adventure or dramatic happen
ings, yet the connected chapters
have a satisfying glamour, a ro-
mantle appeal and a wistful
charm which make for a pleasant
and fregrant evening in the the
ater. There is, too, if you care
to take it, the comforting psychol-
ogy that peace and contentment
and happiness are found in love
and sacrifice rather than in
riches and the worlds luXuries.
His Life and Struggles
I found myself thoroughly alb
sorbed in the story of Archie
Davis from the time that he paid
his first installment on the manor
site until he watched his dream
house become a reality; his hopes
and his Slavings to give his boy,
Richard, the opportunities he had
been denied; his rise to respect
and prominence in the Jersey
community and election as mayor;
his sacrifice of wealth and as
sured position to cherish honor
and an ideal.
Wife Is POetical
Through the mechanics Of the
modern theater the scenes are con-
trived so that Jennifer, one of ma
lures noblewomen, sees her penny
pinching and patient husband not
as a plodding failure, but as gaE
liant Lancelot, buckling on his
breastplate raising his spear, and
riding forth to fight for his family
and ideals. When he passes from
the scene you are satisfied to &C
cept Jennifer's laurel, one Of the
vast army of unknown soldiers In
a world Of peace.
Beautifully Played
"House Beautiful is sensitively
and symps thetically acted by an
excellent company. There was
dignity and beauty in the quiet
but forceful playing Of James
Bell as Archie. Mary Phillips
was the Jennifer, soft spoken
but majestically couragec..s
woman who found happiness in
her dream castle. Raymond
Walburn, Sydney Riggs, Roy
Gordon, Jack Easton, Virginia
Curley, Jane Seymour, Gladys
Thornton and Lionel Stander
provided sterling support.
Playwright Pollock is one who
refuses to plunge into the sea Of
sex and sophistication. So we
have House Beautiful apart
from the polluted stream, crystal
clear and refreshing, a play that
keeps alive the belief that the
drama can be a healthful and
sustaining influence for men,
women and children. Even in
this day.
