At The National Capitol
DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER
A Digest of Who's Who and What's What
 By RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington.-Ther is plenty of opinion here that the capital gets quite enough visitors and it is also lgenerally suspected that the rest of the country hears quite enough about Washington.
 But the board of trades greater national capital committee will spend $50,00O in the next year to combat both those disloyal ideas and an ex- pert municipal press agent has been engaged to sell Washington as d place to visit, to bring more con- |ventions, tourists, permanent head quarters and trade organization headquarters here, to make better Arrangements to take care of them all and to. promote the city as the educational, musical and art center of America.
 Free information facilities for visitors will be featured. New sec retaries to members of congress, charged with getting the office fixed up for the boss, complain that the government furnishes cuspidors for senators and representatives but not ash trays. The theory is that somebody with an economical mind decided the immense brass goboons supplied would hold everything. Others on Capitol Hill are sore be- cause that master snowman, Con- |gressman Sol Bloom of New York,
 impresario of the Washington bi- centennial, unloaded in every one
 of the 531 offices a massive bust of George Washington, two feet high.
 Some members ipsist that they are |aesthetically qualified to decorate
 their own offices but the busts are
 pretty heavy and none have turned
 up yet at the town dump.
 This city has been anticipating
 it's own newspaper merger. but re- ports that the Washington Post had

 Mclean, it's owner, who has been celebrated for his old intimacy with

According to the New York Herald Tri- bune The pinkletinks are tinkling out on Martha's Vineyard. .' And since most of us aren't acquainted with the term. "pinkletinks' we would naturally do what blase Manhattanites did when first the wcfd was seen in the Vineyard Gazette" write to the editor of that paper and inquire. It turned out that they are nothing more than peep CTS as we know them up here in the Nau- gatuek valley Evidently the Martha Vine yard "peepers" are better hammered than the Connecticut breed. They don't "tinkle" up here. They go into action like hundred piece symphony orchestra, and that's not tinklng.

When Meadows elbowed his way

Ida Terrell, colored, of El Centro

Brawley, were drivers of the cars,
and principals n what was rapidly
developing into heated argument.
Meadows succeeded in restoring
peace, if not quiet, and discovered
no one was hurt. The colored wom-

THE question of how much we
l. actually pay for meat pnrchas-
ed in the form of steaks and chops
when we take into consideration
the waste in bones and fat is often
discussed and is indeed important
But the question of how much of
the meat bought in this form is
wasted through thoughtless cook
ing is of greater Importance to the
average housewife and is given
little attention
The initial cost per pound Is de-
termined by supply and demand
and is out of the direct control of
the home-maker But the cost of
waste due to careless cooking is
the cooks sole responsibility
Por.erhouse steak is a good ex-
ample OF this. Next to the filet of
beef, porterhouse is the most ex-
pensive cut per pound More than
this IL the waste in bone and fat,
and usually the tail The tail has
Il fine favor and If properly cook
cd is perfectly desirable. but it is
more often than not sent to the
table unfit to eat-over-cooked
and unappetizing
Special Treatment
ln order to avoid this waste, try
the following method Trim the
meat from the fat and put this
lean piece of tail meat through
the food chopper twice. Since this
piece usually weighs about 4
ounces. season with IA teaspoon
salt and a few grains of pepper.
Mix with l tablespoon dry bread
crumbs and add l unbeaten egg.
Stir lightly with fork until thor
oughly blended and shape in a
small cake the thickness of the
steak. Fit the cake into the side
Of tile steak where it was original
ly and bring the fatty end of the
tail around it. Run long skewer
through the fat and meat cake
into the loin of the steak to hold
il securely. Broil as usual. Re-
move skewer after steak is on the
platter. before sending it to the
tabley.
Rib lamb chops are cheaper
than loin, but they may be served
Just as attractively If boned and
rolled. Ask your butcher to
French" the chops for you. He
will scrape the meat from the
bone. Then you can disjoint the
rib from the bit of backbone and
;url the meaty end back against
;he eye of the chop. Fasten with
