ROBB TRANSFER
STILL YELLED
IN MYSTERY
Assistant D. C. Engineer Gets
Orders Today; Reason
Is Not Given

While the mystery attending
the transfer of Major H. L.
Robb, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, still prevailed, his
"marching orders were re-
ceived today at the District
Building. On Monday he
takes up new duties in the
office of the United States
engineer for the District at
the Navy Building.
The soldierly quality of blunt
ness which Major Robb possessed
is ascribed by some as the rea-
son for the transfer. Major Robb
had the reputation of speaking
his mind concerning contem-
plated plans and projects and
this, it is hinted. may have been
done concerning pet plans of
higher officials.
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer,
president of the board of COM
missioners, said the commission
ers knew of the transfer several
days before the, order was issued
by the War Department. He ie-
clined to discuss the reasons for
the transfer. Major Robb was
kept in the dark concerning the
transfer and his first knowledge
of it came from newspaper men.
Major D. A. Dawson, acting en-
gineer commissioner, was not at
his office to reporters today, say,
ing he was tied up on official
husinesS for several hours.

which gave it variety, charm, touch of the personal

they would defeat bobbed hair. It good thing

The Problems of How to Buy Meats
Points on Selecting Vari- 0us Cuts of Beef, Lamb,
 Veal, Etc
By MARIE CLIFFORD

It is easy enough to be smart
 shopper when buying fruits, vege-
 tables, and the staple line of foods,
 but it is another story when it
 comes to the purchasing of meat. It is necessary to have know ledge of the different meat cuts
 and also the quality characteris- tics of meat before one can be
 classed as good meat shopper. Meat in good condition is firm.
 bulky, and odorless. To be pa1a-
 table, meat must be tender, juicy
 and we'll favored. The proportion of fat to lean affects the flavor.
 Tenderness is judged by the tex ture of the lean---the grain of the meat should be. fine and as free as possible from connective tissue. stringiness and gristle. The meat should be firm, and have smooth yelvety appearance, and be we'll marbled or mottled with fat. There should be a good outer covering or coating of the same creamy white fat. A red porous soft bone indicates young animal. and therefore more tender meat. Good beef should be a light to medium red in color and have good covering of creamy white fat.
 Veal which is the flesh of the young beef animal is a grayish pink, almost a white in color with a scanty covering of firm fat. The meat is of very fine grain, fairly firm, velvety in texture and not
 marbled or mottled with fat. The
 bone is porous, soft and red and the ends of some of the bones are still pliable.
 Lamb is a rich pinkish red in
 color, The meat is fine grained firm and of velvety texture. A fair covering and some motthng of fat insures a good flavor. The bone of young lamb is porous and red in color. The forefoot ankle joint is jagged or uneven, show ing that the bone was sufficiently porous to break the fore foot joint. This is known as the break joint" and is found only in lamb. The mutton carcass is larger than the lamb. The flesh or neaty portions are a grayish or brick red in color. The flesh should be fine grained, and 1t should have a rather thick outer covering Of
 white, brittle fat.
 The lean of sfresh pork from good young carcees is a grayish white, turning to a delicate rose color in the older animal. It ia firm and velvety in texture and fine. smooth grained. The lean
 should be well-marbled, and GOV l cred with white, smooth, firm l fat. free from fibers.

tion WTIC.
 The school child s, lunch, whether taken at school or at home, is of utmost importance to its health, Miss Nickerson stated.l Although adults may make a practice of eat ing very light breakfasts and lunches, three ample meals con- taining the correct foods from a health standpoint are vital with growing children. who should never be forced to rely aon nasty bite or tw oto carry them, between breakfast and dinner.
 Not only should the lunch be ample, but it should be carefully planned by the mother and packed in a manner that. will preserve it's taste. It should also be varied from day to day so as not to be monotonous. Covered jars in which other food have been bought make excellent containers for parts oft he lunch which is carried to school and wax paper keeps other foods fresh and tasty.
 The lunch should emphasize in addition to sandwiches or buttercd rolls, some vegetables prepared in salad form or some other appetiz- ing manner and whatever fruit is in season. Most schools sell milk and the child should be given money to purchase this since it is the most important of health foods. At schools where hot soups are sold children should also be required to make soup part of their lunch, but milk, vegetables and fruits are the most important foods to include. Each child should have two lunch boxes, so that one can be cleaned air aired while the other is in use.

Quality Goods
 Back to Stay
Only Real Bargain Is Qnal- ity Article in Food or
 Clothing

A little more than two years ago, the bargain craze started in this country. Slowly at first, and then with ever increasing force. 1t swept nearly everyone before it, and manufacturers, retailers and con- sumers fell to it's lure.
 In the beginning many real bar gains were offered - merchandise that had to be sold irrespective of cost of manufacture-but it must be quite evident that such distress merchandise could not continue indefinitely. Still the craze for bar gains continued, and to meet this demand goods had to be manufac- tured with one object only-price.
 Manufacturers sprang into exist ence who had never been heard of before, goods appeared on the store counters without trade names, prices were temptingly iow-but they were bargains no more. The bargain had had it's big day, and many people are wiser and sorrier because they fell victim to the bargain craze"
 There has been sweeping change in the prevailing attitude towards bargains in the last few months. and consumers are once again the careful shoppers they were before this craze swept the country. Quality merchandise is back to stay, for consumers have realized that the only real bar gain, whether it be food, furniture or clothing, is a quality article at q price that they are ready and will ing to pay for it.
 Products that are consistently advertised in this newspaper can be relied upon as offering good value for the price asked. Ma tional manufacturers. who special ize in their own particular lines, invariably offer the finest value at the lowest price possible, and a typical example .qf this is con tained in the present advertise ments of the Salada Tea company announcing substantial reduction !. in prices, without any reduction in quality.
