NFA Service Writer

HUNDREDS Of mothers face the
L i daily problem of serving veg
etables to a family much like the
proyerbial horse who was led 10
water-the vegetables are on the
dinner table. but the family can't
be made to eat them. On the cook
rests a grave responsibility, for II
is only by means of the utmost
skill in cookery that the average
family, not vegetable minded, can
be taught TO eat and finally to like
vegetables.
The popularity of many Vege-
tables is dependent on attractive
serving as we'll as careful cooking
and seasoning. Simple garnishes
and colorful combinations do their
full share toward making Vege-
table dishes liked. Spinach gar
nished with slices of hard cooked
egg. coin spots" of paprika over
the top of creamed turnips and
caulifiower, a sprinkling OF minced
parsley on potatoes and carrots
these garnishes are always at hand
and do much to tempt the appe-
tite.
1t seems to be accepted as a gen.
eral rule that the way to make the
most of both flavor and food value
in vegetables is to bake or steam
them instead of boiling them. II
they must be boiled there are GER
tain precautions which must be
observed.
Consider Vegetables Flavor
The strong juiced vegetables
such as cabbage, onions, turnips,
caulifiower, brussels sprouts and
broccoli should be boiled rapidly
in a comparatively large amount
of water in an uncovered contain
er. Delicately favored vegetables
such as peas, green beans and as
paragus should be gently sim
mered in as small a quantity of
water as it is possible to use with
out burning. &
One of the most common faults
found in the cooking of vege-
tabes is the tendency TO overlook
them. The results of oyer-cooking
are unpalatableness, loss of color,
loss of natural flavor and loss OF
food value. The longer a vege-
table is cooked the greater the loss
in nutrients. Delicately favored
vegetables lose their natural
sweetness and become tasteless
when cooked too long and strong
favored vegetables develop a too
strong flavor if overlooked.
Green vegetables lose their
vivid color and become a faded
brownish color, while white vege-
tables take on an unappetiZing
grayish or reddish tinge when
Imperial Valley press., 1932-02-12

ing than others. Asparagus, cauh'
flower and broccoli particularly
are included in this category. The
heads and fiowerets of these vege,.
tables should be kept up, out OF
water during cooking. This allows
the stem, which is tougher thar
the floweret, to come in contact
with the greatest heat while the
delicate head receives the mod
crate cooking il needs. Thus the
tender portion remains firm and
the vegetable retains its color.
Soda never should be added to
vegetables as a means toward pre-
serving their color. 1t destroys
yitamins to a greater degree than
heat does and softens the structure
of the vegetable fiber.
Authorities differ as TO the best
time to salt vegetables. The min
eral content of the water in which
vegetables are cooked is quite i'm.
portant i'll deciding this question.
Vegetables cooked in water gem
orally known as soft" may have
the salt added at once. but il the
water is hard" it's q good idea
to salt the vegetables when they
are almost done. Although there
is no definite and scientific data
on the subject. daily kitchen ex-
periments show that green vege-
tables remain a more natural green
if salt is added the last five min
utes of cooking.
All vegetables must be thor
oughly washed and freshened be-
fore cooking. Gritty spinach is
enough to make even the most
conscientious vegetable eater for
sake it and is one of the reasons
for its unpopularity. A cold salt
water bath for fifteen or twenty
minutes has a freshening effect on
practically all vegetables and
frees them from any insects that
may be hidden in their leaves.

Vesper Organ Recital
At Universalist Church.
- 4 VESPER organ recital was held
Wednesday afternoon in the
Univeralist National Memorial
Church. 1t was a joint recital by
Virginia Darlington Thomas of New
York City, composer and organist,
and DR.. Albert w. Harmed, the
organist and musical director of
that church
Mrs. Thomas chose compositions
familiar to organists and made
these selections live anew with a
depth and charm of Interpretation
that will linger long and delight
fully with those who were 50 for
tunate as to be present. She
demonstrated that to her a tech
nique is only a means to an end
and not an end in itself. She
opened her program with Tschai-
kowSky's "Andante Cantabile," from
the Fifth Symphony" Her second
number sparkled with combina-
ton of brilliancy snd dignity. For
her closing number she played two
movements from her own First
Symphony" The adagio movement
is based on Southern mountain folk
lore and folk songs. In her rendi-
ton, she managed to bring out
even the strumming of the dulcimer.
The theme as developed and played
by this composer-organist was a
thing Of exquisite, beauty.

AMERICAN FLYERS

Famous Railroad Abandoned

Ten thousand miles from Washing

barrier of the Andes between Santiago,
Chile, and Buenos Aires, air transport
planes bearing the shield of the United
States airmail have taken over the bur-
den of the world-famous Transandean
Railroad, which was abandoned yester-
day and today form the only transpor-

The mighty wall of the Andes, for
centuries almost impregnable, has been

rection. the roar of American airplane
motors sounds in the sheer rock and ice

Andes-yalleyS whose floors are from
10000 to 1900 feet above sea level
The planes climb through passes which
are from $4,000 to $4,000 feet above
the ocean.
Here in the bitter cold, fighting
mighty gales, braving yawning chasms
and towering peaks of rugged range
which offers no safe landings, Ameri-
can enterprise is building the way for
American business and commerce.
Despite the hardships which must be
overcome in crossing one of the worlds
