PLEASING CHRISTMAS
DINNER INEXPENSIVE


Family preferences, as usual, will
determine what to serve for Christ
mas dinner this year, e. butS expense
will be an added factor in the choice.
The division of home economics at
University Farm suggests the fol
lowing menu as one which may
meet both requirements:
! Pork Loin Roast Dressing
Drowned Potatoes
Buttered Celery and Peas
Cinnamon Apple Salad Rolls
Molasses Steamed Pudding
Hard Sauce Coffee
The meat will probably be started
first. Wipe the roast with a damp
cloth, place in an uncovered pan
without water and rub with salt, l
teaspoonful for each pound of meat.
Scar in a very hot oven $500 degrees
Fahrenheit) for Is minutes, or until
the meat is nicely Drowned. Then re-
duce the temperature to that of a
slow oven 600 degrees). Cook until
the meat thermometer registers 1856
degrees F., or 80 minutes pound for
or pound loin roast.
The steamed molasses pudding re-
sembles plum or suet pudding and
has the advantage of not being so
rich. Here is the recipe:

but place in pan containing about
liz inches hot water and place cover
over this. This may be steamed &C
cording to the usual method, allow
ing about 80 minutes for individual
molds. 1t should be served warm
with a hard sauce. If made the pre-
vious day, reheat before serving.
The cinnamon apple salad will give
some holiday color to the main
course of the meal. Peel and core
the apples leaving them whole. Drop
them into a boiling syrup made by
dissolving one cup of sugar into 2
cups of water and adding 2 table
spoonfuls of vinegar and six red Gin

Blaine insisted that most OF the IN

the departments negotiations, con-
tending that most of it was not conf
Dental because it had come directly
from the lessons.
He said he would find out whether
Brown wanted to help or "obstruct" the

Says He Was Ridiculed.
Brown agreed some Of the informa-
ton had come from the lessons or pub
lie records, but insisted the lessons did
not know what the departments plans
were in connection with their property.
Blaine agreed also that some of the
information might be confidential, par
ticularly that part which was based on
the opinions of the postal inspectors.
Reading the missionaries the In
piece Of property, Blaine came to the
question:
as it on. a corner or the inside Of q

"That is very confidential, Of
course?" he inquired.
When Brown made no reply, Blaine
remarked that his question had been
''put in ridicule"
Eyes, it was very brilliant question -
Brown replied.
The chairman asked If Brown pro-
posed to withohld the answers to that
part Of the QUESTIONABLE and was told

The Postmaster refused to give the
answers to most Of the questions on
the ground it would serve to identity
the property under consideration.
1T is ridiculous to think this inf0r-
nation would identify any property "
Blaine said "Your declining to furnish
this information is going to materially
hamper and delay the committees work.
But want to assure you the committee
is going to bring out every fact in
connection with the desirabntty Of con-
demning these properties and is going
TO divulge them to Congress. Do you
still refuse?"

The National Socialists, or Nazi,

all the other trappings Of political fan

of their free railroad passes, retained
because none Of the members has re-

There was considerable skepticism that

contention that a more immediate
method Of relief would be obtained by

planned that in new sewer projects the
sanitary sewers are being separated

Watson B. Miller of the American

in the bill to enable the District Gov

and the Commissioners have asked foI

D. c: POLICE ADDED
TO CAPITOL FORCE
Precaution Taken After Com
munist Demonstrations
Over Unemployment.

Several squads Of metropolitan police
today reinforced the Capitol police as a
precautionary measure following dis
order yesterday In the House gallery by
Communist sympathizers.
The Office of Sergeant at Arms
Rodgers of the House said the addi-
tional men were added to take care Of
any eventualities.''
The only covert act" that broke the
suspense on Capitol Hill yesterday
was the short-lived effort of q radical
speaker to address the House from the
visitors gallery. A guard clapped q
hand over the offenders mouth, and po-
icemen quickly hustled him and several
comrades from the building.
Others Are Expelled.
The unlimited gallery orator gave his
name as Fred Kearns Of Pittsburgh
He said he was war veteran. He
arose and got as far In his speech as
II want to protest. when Bert Ken
nedy, House doorkeeper, grabbed him
and elected him from the gallery. Nels
Hjar, Freda Jackson and Nicholas
Blattner also were expelled during the
disturbance.
The interruption came during 9
speech by Representative Oliver of Ala
bama on the naval appropriations bill.
The recalcitrant visitors were escorted
to the office Of Joseph @. Rodger, SER
geant at arms of the House, who ex-
planned that House rules prevent spec
tators from making speeches. Then
they were led from the building.
Fail to See LOngworth.
The gallery incident occurred some
time after a committee of Is men and
women had been refused permission to
see Speaker Longworth or to present
to the House from the floor a petition
demanding" unemployment insurance
legislation. The committee, headed by
Alfred Wagenknecht, New York Com
munist agitator, finally left a copy OF
the petition with the Speakers secre-
tary.
Metropolitan police, under personal
supervision of Supt. of Police Pratt,
aided Capitol police in guarding Long
