-F-Hope for the safety Of Sir HUI

Unless the lights emanated from
Sir Hubert,s submarine, In which he
started on an under-ice expedition

SAVING Of TREE
COSTS $4,000

A change in the plans for a
national highway which will cost
approximately $4,000. has been
made by the Government in
order to preserve a historic tree.
The change was made after
citizens of the FoxhaIl Heights
section protested that the pro-
posed Palisades Boulevard, to ex-
tend from M Street in George
town to Great Falls, Md, would
necesSitate the cutting Of the
famous old oak in the $500 block
Potomac Ave, the only land mark
of Indian encampments Of two
centuries ago.
William A. Roberts, assistant
corporation counsel, and other
citizens. led the protest.
Their plea prevailed and the
Palisades Boulevard vas set 20
feet closer to the river at a point
about 100 yards from the tree,
thus running the highway around
the Landmark.
The citizens Of the section have
also asked that the tree, which
is rotting with age, be given the
attention of tree surgeon.

q CENTS A DAY
TOP PRICE FOR
HOME MEALS
Daily Food Chart, Announced
BY Eastern High Students,
High in Its Protein Value

It may be difficult to imagine
the probability of feeding a fam
lily of four at daily cost of 25A
cents per person and family of
five, including three children, at
81 cents a day, but it can be
done.
The secret lies in following the
menus prepared by domestic sci
ence classes Of Eastern High
School on the basis of a market list
supplied by the Home Economics
Bureau Of the United Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In an effort to make it possible
for families hit by the economic
pressure to get along with a
minimum outlay for food, The
Washington Times is publishing
q series of menus, the third OF
which appears in today'S paper
Necessary Food Listed
A certain amount of particular
foods necessary to maintain the
health of adults and to permit
the normal growth of children
must be included in the menus,
according to Mrs. Catherine An
derson, domestic science teacher
at the high school under whose
direction the menu for family
Of five persons was evolved.
To maintain the proper amount
of protein, an essential substance
for health, the meals for one
week must contain from six to
sight pounds of foods containing
protein. InaSmuch as cereal is
high in protein content and is
inexpensive, the classes have in
cluded as much cereal in the
menu as can be comfortably
eaten, and have made provision
for a generous supply of some
kind of cereal for each break
fast.
The menu for five, to cost
$3.50 a week, calls for egg a la
golden rod, delectable dish
that looks we'll, according to
Mrs. Anderson. The egg, which
contains protein, is hard-boiled
and the white and yolk are
divided. The white is prepared
with milk and put on toast. The
yolk is strained into a fine
powder and sprinkled over the
white. Only one dozen eggs are
allowed for the entire week.
MOlasseS' Value Noted
On the same menu for lunch
the green pea loaf is a deliciously
prepared vegetable dish made with
one and a half cups OF peas, a
cup of milk, an egg and one cup
Of bread crumbs baked with
melted fat.
The evening meal includes mo-
lasses, which, Mrs. Anderson de-
clares is valuable for its mineral
and vitamin content. The escal-
lOped potatoes and ham are pre-
pared with eight potatoes baked
with One-half pound of ham.
The difference of ~ cent? per
meal per day between the $717
and the $3.50 menus was ex-
planned by Mrs. Anderson to be
due to the fact that the menu
prepared for the family consisting
Of three children between the
ages Of 2 and IA, must contain
from 1S to % quarts of milk. This
Is an added cost of almost SO a
week.
