CHEESE is often chosen as a
~ meat substitute and, if served
with the proper combination of
foods. offers an excellent and COM
paratiyely cheap source of protein.
In planning menus in which
cheese is to play a part as meat
substitute. keep in mind the neces-
sity of serving plenty of vegetables,
both raw and cooked. The des-
sert should be simple and not rich
in fats. Apple or any fruit tapi-
oca pudding served with a liquid
sauce in place of cream offers n
suggestion for a dessert.
When cheese is to be cooked,
care must be taken that ii is not
overlooked. 0Yer-cooking of
cheese makes ii tough and splits
the fat, making it difficult to di-
gest. Cheese is sufficiently cooked
when it is just melted. Cheese is
often added to cream sauce, but it
must not be added until the sauce
is thoroughly cooked. Then the
cheese is melted in the hot sauce
and the whole blended in smooth
mixture without actually cooking
the cheese.
The following menu will un-
doubtedly suggest other combina-
tionS to you: Brown rice Gro
quettes with cheese sauce, butter
ed green beans, lettuce and toma-
to salad, baked apple dumplings
with lemon sauce, milk, coffee.
Cheese Adds Noufishment
The Italian custom of serving
grated cheese with soup has much
in its favor. Potato, tomato and
spinach cream soups gain much
nourishment if grated hard cheese
is added when served or passed
at the table for each person to help
himself. The combination of flaw
ors, cheese and these particular
vegetables. is appetizing. Cheese
must not be added to soup dur
ing cooking.
There are many varieties of
cheese, both domestic and import
ed. and for classification purposes
they are conveniently divided into
three groups-hard, semi-hard
and soft.
The hard American cheese made
from whole milk contains most of
the protstn and fat and a large
part Of the lime of the mjlk from
which II was rsAe. rs really

Society
Clubs

Before a large and highly enthus-
iastic first night audience, the Des-
ert Players made their initial ap-
pearance last night in the delight
ful comedy of domestic life, one
OF the Family
From every standpoint the per-
formance went off with profession
al smoothnesS. a tribute TO the di-
rector. Miss Gretta Gould. to the
competent cast and TO the eff
cient production staff.
Even the curtain went up prompt
ly at 3;l5 o'clock TO the surprise of
many late comers WHO had counted
on the usual delays typical of
amateur productions.
Mrs. Fred Cross and Maurice Fox
played the leading roles. Mrs. Cross
being attractive in the part Of the
whole-souled, frank young wife
whose struggles against the high
handed methods of her relatives
in-law. form the basis for the plot.
Mr Fox, as the eldest son of the
Back Bay Adams clan whose life,
up to his marriage, has been dom
mated by his aunt and two sisters,
gave an excellent Interpretation of
his part
Mrs. F. D. Jacobs. as Aunt Pris-
cilla the head of the Adams clan
whose domination over the family
is complete and whose determina-
ton to secure her ends causes much
of the trouble, played her part to
perfection. Her genuine feeling for
her role and her facile interpre-
tation of it, brought many a
chuckle to the audience as she pur-
sued her willy way.
Scenes in which Barbara Ham
mand. as Maggie, the Adams cook,
appeared, invariably brought a gale
of laughter from the audience.
Maggie's unbending diSapproval of
the Adams family'S activities was
skllfully portroyed by Miss Ham
mond and her clever acting afford
ed the real comedy of the evening.

Characters: Betty and Mother;
place: 666 Wensley, Ell Centro. Calf.
Act One: In the kitchen
Betty: (runningi nto the kitch-
en-: Motherl Some men came in
our front yard and planted the
queerest trees you ever saw.
Mother: Those trees are called
the palo verde. They are planting
these trees to beautify E Centro.
When the palo verde grows large
and blossoms, people will come to
El Centro to look at them. Mother
is busy Betty so go outside and
play. Tonight after dinner 7 will
tell you more about the palo verde
tree.
Act Two: In the parlor after dinner
Betty: Mother!
Mother: What do you want Bet
ty?
Betty: Tell me about those queer
trees that were planted in our front
yard.
Mother Palo verde is Spanish
word meaning green stick or green
wood tree. The palo verde trees are
found growing on the deserts of
Arizona, Mexico, southern part OF
California and Lower California.
The palo verde is sturdy tree.
The tree is twice as broad as 1t Is
tall. The diameter of the trunk
varies from six inches to three feet.
The twigs are short and stiff. The
palo verde has two types Of leaves.
One type are minute leaves
which grow in the spring and are
gone by summer that change from
a soft yellowish-green in a few
days to a thorn Another type is
from one to two feet long
In mid March, April and May the
flowers blossom. The travellers who
pass this street when the trees are
in blossom, will get dazzling SEN
sation from the vivid yellow of the
flowers. The flowers have five
petals. The first four are alike.
They spread out in the shape of
a saucer and radiate from the CEN
ter. The fifth petal is larger than
the others and is edged with
orange-red. After the flowers are
gone. green seed pods like string
beans appear.
The tree lives long on the desert
but slowly. When it is forced by
cultivation and poor drainage, II
grows rapidly but later becomes
diseased with witches broom and Is
short lived.
The palo verde has white wood
like the northern birch, long needles
like the pine and downward droop
like the willow.
The Pima and Papago Indians
and Mexicans use the green pods
are eaten raw, cooked in water
with meat, roasted or used as a
salad. They may be ground into
meal. The wood is used for fuel
by the Indians, to build rude nuts,
or the tree is shady place to rest
and homes for birds. One part of
the palo verde is used for fever.
The bark is used for paper. The
flowers are for Identification and
honey for the bees. The fiber and
bark are used for ropes.
Betty: That was a good story
mother. Helen is going to write
about the palo verde as the cham
Der of commerce is going to give a
prize to the best composition writ
ten on The tree I am going to
write a composition. Do you think
I could win?
Mother: You can never tell. This
tree being suited to the desert is
very appropriate for planting here.
Its pretty vivid green color and
yellow blossoms are very decorative
and will surely aid in beautifying
our town, Ell Centro.

in civilization in which when thou

WORK CAMPAIGN
Now Nears Goal of Million
Jobs

New York City ILNS)-War
Against Depression is rolling along
on national scale, with energetic
campaigns in process in dozens of
cities. This week the campaign for
jobs reached the three-quarter-million
mark, scoring ee-fourths of the
goal set when the campaign was
launched.
While tn enational headquarters is
now being maintained by the Amer
lean Legion alone in the Qhrysler
building here, organized labor
throughout the nation is as active as
ever in local campaigns.
+ 1t is expected that even though no
additional local campaigns are begun
the million mark will be reached
completing the biggest job-fnding
campaign ever undertaken.
Matthew Woll, designated by Pres
ident Green to represent labor in the
campaign, today urged local labor
organizations to continue full and
energetic participation in local cam
paigns.

Plan to Legalize Four Per
Cent Beer Put Up To Senate
Proposed Tax Would Yield at Least 100000 and Put
Many Idle to Work, Senator Bingham Declares

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Legal-
ization of the manufacture and sale
of per cent beer was put squarely
up to the senate on May 10 by SEN
ator Bingham, of Connecticut, in pro-
posing an amendment to the revenue
bill taxing per cent beer.
Senator Bingham told the senate
that the proposed tax would replace
burdensome taxes in the revenue bill,
give work to hundreds of thousands
of unemployed and provide a new
market for products of industry and
agriculture.
Pointing out that the present rev-
enue laws now on the statute books
provide for tax of $6 barrel on
beer, Senator Bingham explained that
all that is necessary to be done in or
der to take advantage of this tax
would be to amend the Volstead act
by striking out the words "one-half
of one per cent" wherever they ap-
pear in the act and insert the words
"a per cent"
See Big Sum Raised
"A constructive estimate of the
amount of revnue which could easily
be raised by this change is 1915 ,00O,-
OO0," Senator Bingham said, adding,
some persons estimate it to be as
high as $500,000,000. Adopting the
more conservative figure, it would
provide sufficient revenue to meet the
elimination of the taxes in the new
bill which | propose to strike out.
"The amendment provides for
eliminating all postal increases, in
Guiding the Scent charge on first
class mail matter and the increases
IN second-class mail matter, the esti-
mated returns from which amount to
$3.50, 100000" he continued. II also
propose to strike out the tax on ad-
missions to movie theatres and other
forms Of entertainment, which are
calculated to raise $110,000,000.
Other Taxes Eliminated
"The amendment provides for ar
elimination of the tax on kilograms
and telephones, which is calculated to
raise $24,0sO,000. 1t eliminates the
tax on radios and monographs, loss
of S11,000,000. A reduction is pro-
posed in the tax on automobiles, put
ting the tax back to the house figure
of 32-1 in lieu of the increase sub
stituted by the senate committee
amounting to $17,O0O,00O

ASKS DRYS
To Now Make Sacrifice To
Promote Nations Welfare
By JAMES M. MEAD
Representative from New York

i
President Hoover says, "The gov
ernment cannot be dictated to by or
ganized minorities."
What about the organized drys :?
Who dictated the program of legisla-
ton including the Volstead act, the
Jones law and the ever-mounting in
creasing prohibition enforcement ap-
preparations
Who dictated the Wickersham COM
MISSIONS report and how was it that
the majority of the commission as in
dividuals came out for change while
the final report made by the commits
sion as body was in agreement with
the dry attitude of the administra-
tion?
The president is correct in saying
this is national emergency and great
sacrifice is essential. That being so,
why not ask the organized minority
led by the Anti-Saloon League to
make sacrifice now just as the wet
interests were called upon to do dur
ing the war A sacrifice made neces-
sary then to preserve our food sup
ply in order that our troops might
be fed and our national well-beine
protected.
Nf
stored in the elevators of the nation
with our government doleing out mil.
lions through the farm board to pur-
chase, hoard and insure the crops OF
the last few year, why not reverse
the program?
Let the drys make a sacrifice now
open up the malt houses and brewer.
! les of the country, sell the surplu:
crops of barley, hops and other in
gradients used in the manufacture OF
beer, ale and the light wines.
Reduce the number of our unem-
ployed, increase the revenues of the
government-put a stop to racketeer.
ing, diminish crime and kidnapping
and the budget will be balanced, con-
fdence restored and the country will
look up to new and better day.
A white house conference of the
leaders of the nation would start this
program auspiciously.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-05-20

"The amendment proposes to reduce
the normal income tax rates from the
1863 rates as proposed in the senate
bill to the house rates of 2-4-7, a re-
duction of $29 200, 900; and also to re-
duce the tax on lubricating oil from 4
cents to 2 cents a gallon, loss of
$22 100000.
SIN short, the amendment would
strike from the bill revenue -produc-
ing features totaling $373,000, 900.
Would Help Idle
"The amendment would not only
eliminate the worst of the nuisance
taxes, but would Immediately restore
work to hundreds of thousands of un-
employed and provide a new market
for grain, coal, transportation, and
numerous other articles for which
there is now no demand"
