Have you dragged to the hot market at times this summer and forced yourself to examine each purchase meticulously, distrustful- ly eyeing the clerk as he dexterous- ly tapped a melon or tipped out the contents of a basket of berries to show you that the bottom ones were as big and ripe as those on top? Have you asked if the veg etables were fresh and listened to the grocer's lyrical praise of them :? Have you hesitated over a spec kled caulifiower, wavered over wilt ed lettuce, and rejected ears of corn as too hard and dry?
 Why Exhaust Yourself?
 Why go to all that trouble when you can have all that done for you by experts who have to satisfy not you alone but hundreds of

thousands of other people? The canned foods which you are accus- toned to buy and which you have long known under familiar labels are so uniform in quality that one glance is sufficient to select them.
 Save your strength, then. these hot days, by selecting your food at a glance or ordering your favorite brands by telephone, instead of ex- amining each vegetable and fruit in detail. All that has been done for you in the broad fields close to the canneries, and you know, too, that the product has been grown under strict supervision from spe- cially selected seed. It has been inspected several more times at the cannery, canned quickly at the ex- act moment of ripeness, and has proved its quality to you year after year.%

Travelling from Chicago back to New York a few weeks ago, found myself in the company of some off, cials of a meat packing concern. One of them said: Tell me the kind of bacon you are used to and will tell you the part of the coun- try you hail from" That sounded far-fetched, but I checked on it and found that he was right! Stat istics on the type of bacon sold in various sections of the country show definite sectional favorites.
 Down south there are two pref erences for bacon. The most pop ular is the "dry salt side of pork, !" quite fat. It Is not sold to any de- gree elsewhere. The second choice in the south is light. lean. smoked bacon.

for by, most. In the New England secaion and the northern states, the fatter and heavier bacon is most popular.
 If one expresses 8 liking for Canadian bacon, which is smoked and boned delicacy. you can be sure that he is from one of the large cities, pdobably on the eastern sea- board.
 Different sections also have their preferences in hog sizes. The mid de east and the middle west use the bacon from the average 180lb hog: New England and the north ern states use bacon from the 250lb hog, while down south bacon comes from the 100 to 150lb hog. I don't kno wwhy.
 With this information, one is qualified to tell stranger where he is from--if he will tell the kind of bacon he has been brought up on.
 Following are two excellent ba- con recipies for those who are tired of just bacon and eggs" Boiled Bacon-English Style
 Use a thick piece of rather fat bacon,. weighing about 1 1-2' pounds. Cut off the rind and make deep gashes about two inches apart in the bacon. Chop uarsley fine and mix with an equal quantity of chopped green onions. Fill the cuts in the bacon with this mixture. Tie the bacon in cheese cloth, cover with boiling water. and simmer 6n- til tender-about an hour. Bacon and Banana Rolls Peel bananas and cut in halves crosswise. Wrap each piece of banana in strip of bacon, and broil, or cook in a moderately hot oven until the bacon is crusp and brown, and the bananas soft.

 Concentrated evaporated milk serves excellently in this case. It contains double amount of milk Constituents, and can be combined with the other ingredients in a most satisfactory and pleasing manner. The baked, stuffed tomato is beautiful to see, and requires almost no labor in preparation.

 The okra can be replaced by feftovers of various sorts, such as corn, and peas. That is a good thing to remember.

Expenses Must Be Cut
To Restore Prosperity
To the Editor of The Star:


There has got to be a reduction IN
expenses before permanent restoration
of prosperity prevails. Old Man De-
be killed, and it would not be considered
murder, but costs have got to come
down.
Man requires so much more to live
on nowadays than he did few years
ago. The car has to be in good running
shape and the gas to propel 1t has to be
accessible and fluid. There Is a GER
tain objective to be obtained, viz. to
keep up with and pass the Jones and
damn the cost.
We will have to secure new assets or
alter our mode of living before we can
obtain that very necessary balance of
budget and other things that are sup
posed to make for peace end happiness.
The Government budget cannot be
balanced with extravagant expenditures
and the income necessary to offset
such spending lacking. We have the
resources, but seem to be unable to use
them in crisis like the present.
doctrine Of dollars alone 1t seems
will not do. Something to substitute for
dollars, as an incentive to induce people
to forget and stop dwelling on the
theme of bad times, in order to restore
the world to better place.
Now let the master minds Of the Re-
public stop knocking each other, get
together to devise some plan that will
help conditions and think more of the
good of their country and their fellow
citizens. by putting plan in operation.
than they do of their credits for nom
productive actions and their tenure of
office. If the master minds are unable
to do the job let the office boys have a
chance at it, but for the public good let
something be done by somebody that
will help. CHARLES J. SIMPSON.

Mouse Masters Rather
Despite Inferior Size
To the Editor of The Star:

1 read with intere-t an article headed
Tiny Mouse Come Out Victor in Fight
With Rattlesnake~,' which appears on
the front page of Thursdays issue of
The Star
At the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Mimi,
during 1929 and 1880 I collaborated
with Drs. Essex and MarkowitZ in a
series of studies of the physiologic ac-
ton of rattlesnake venom.
We found that the snakes which we
were keeping would not eat in captivity.
We thought that perhaps they required
a live animal to tempt their appetite,
end accordingly offered one Of them a
I've mouse Nothing happened immedi-
Gtely and we left the two together over
niqht, hoping that his lordshfp the
snake would eat during the quiet Of the
night.
Morning revealed the startling fact
that not only was the mouse unharmed.
but he had taken q nice meal from the
tack OF the rattlesnake'S neck, which
ultimately resulted in the death Of the
snake An explanation which has been
rendered Is that a snake will not strike
at so small an object. 1t Is fact that
they VIII strike at a guinea pig, with
fatal results.
These facts most likely explain why
1t is that the mouse can exhibit so
much courage. Another interesting
though not very plausible explanation Is
that the mouse trades upon the reputa-
tion Of the mongoose, little animal
which preys upon snakes.
1t should be comforting to know that
mice in the house should materially re-
ouce the unpleasant possibility of some
snake making its residence there. 1t
seems to prove that even a mouse is
good for something.

Washington at the Conventions.

Both the Republican and Democratic
parties in the District of Columbia have
now exercised the quadrennial privilege
of electing delegates to their respective
national conventions. At Chicago next
month six residents of the Federal area
will sit in the Democratic and two IN
the Republican party conclaves and cast
their votes for nominations for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States.
Should messenger from Mars vol
plane down upon the Chicago Stadium
and by accident land amid one OF the
District of Columbia delegations, 1t
would be a pardonable mistake If he
parachuted to the conclusion that as
Washingtonians take part in nomtnat-
ing presidential candidates, they also
have a hand in electing them. The
Martian would not and could not know
that because of a grotesque and un-
American inconsistency, such, unhap-
PLY! is not the case.
1t would be necessary for somebody
to inform him that residents of the
District of Columbia possess less than
half the right Of their fellow Americans
with respect to presidential elections.
They can join in nominating, but are
as fully debarred from electing in sue
ceeding Novembers as if they were
aliens. Washingtonians are the un-
tcuchables of the American body poll
tic-the outcast caste, which has all
the obligations of citizenship. but is de-
MED its most priceless privilege, the
ballot.
Arrangements will be perfected it is
to be hoped, for presenting to both
the Republican and Democratic con-
ventions, as has been done on previous
occasions, the national representation
demands of the District of Columbia
1t is an ideal occasion for pressing
them. Washington's disfranchisement
will stand out in all its hideous in
justice when 1t is aired by national
convention delegates speaking as the
full equals of delegates from the States,
yet compelled to admit that when the
conventions adjourn they go home as
politically helpless and ostracized as
if they hailed from the South Sea
Islands.
The Districts convention spokesmen
and spokeSwomen at Chicago have q
golden opportunity. They will earn
the gratitude Of their fellow-unfortu-
mates at home by insisting that both
great parties go unequivocally on rec
ord in favor of Americanizing the

Tin Horns and Wild Flowers.

The roulette wheel spins merrily-or
sadly, as the case may be-the crap
shooter shouts his regard for his family,
inasmuch as the baby needs new shoes;
the last race at Churchill Downs is
called monotonously by the telegraph
operator-and "Jimmie's" tin-horn
gambling joint continues to do business
on Bladensburg road. As in most in
stances, broken-down prizefighters, once
known to the sporting fraternity as
horizontal pugs," join with their silk
shirted brother sports in conducting the
various games which separate a sucker
from his salary. County officials walk
on the other side of the road and keep
watchful eye on the States wild
flowers.
In spite of the fact that a recent
grand jury demanded that the tin-horn
gambling joint be kept closed. the place
known as "Jimmie's" opened again for
business last Saturday. 1t has been a
thorn in the side Of the public-spirited,
law-abiding group Of Prince Georges
County for years, and 1t was closed
temporarily while the alleged proprie-
tor served jail sentence. County
officials have refused to close the place,
and the "small-time big-shots" hold
the upper hand. One excuse for the
reopening Of the place--a lame excuse,
at best-is that "Jimmie,s" is in the
category Of square gambling joints. !"
But the gambler and his victim are

Mr.. Stanton Answered
AS to Reserve Officers

To the Editor of The Star:
Merely to answer a Mr.. z. G. Stanton
in Wednesdays Star, who evidently
hasn't the slightest idea Of what . Re-
serve officers two weeks camp con-
sists. He seems to have some quarrel
with the young officers, who number
being men up to so years of age. If
Mr.. Stanton knew anything about these
camps he would know that they are
chuck full of good, hard work and prac-
tical military problems which train the
ofhcers-both young and old-to more
efficiently protect their country in case
Of emergency. I think Mr.. Stanton
would probably find himself in rather
deep water If he tried to solve some Of
the problems presented to the officers
during their two weeks course. He
should also realize that the Reserves
give up much time during the year,
without pay, to take conference and ex-
tension courses in preparation Tor the
practical training in the Summer camp.
I must differ with him In that I be-
lieve it more beneficial to give training
to those Americans who wiz give two
weeks Of their time to the protection OF
their country than to give extended
vacations In Europe to some OF our
eminent statesmen to NEEDLE In other
