Wife of Paraguayan Charge
Resents Action by Wife
of BoIivia's Envoy.

BY the Associated Press.
Bolivia's war with Paraguay In the
Chaco jungles has its repercussions over
Washington bridge tables.
Before it is over. it may divide fem
mist circles into groups at oods over
the far away territory row.
In the center of the discussion is an
American woman from Portland, Greg,
Nine. Luis Abelli, the former Crystal
Hyland and wife of the former Bolivian
Minister here.

speak at the next Sunday meeting Of
the National Woman's Party, which Is
affiliated with the Inter American Com
mission of Women, Of which Miss Doris
Stevens Is chairman. She intends to
talk about Bolivia's boundary dispute.
Last week Nine. Abelli openly ex-
pressed her views on the quarrel by
telling a group of Maryland clubwomen
that Paraguayan aggression had trans
formed Bolivia into nation OF
martyrs" She concluded her speech
by taking up cOllectlOn, Wnlcn netleo
$lOO, for the Bolivian Red Cross, and
by inviting the women to her suburban
home here to sew bandages.
Protest Is Urged.
But one of the members Of the In
ter American Commission of Women
here is Nine Pablo Ynsfran, wife of
the Paraguayan charge dafiairs. She
addressed the National Woman'S Party
last year on the subject of Para

alities. Nine. Ynsfran is frankly an
noyed by the prospect that Nine
Abelli may use the commission as a
platform for an address against Para
quay Friends are urging Nine
YnSfran to protest.
So far her annoyance has failed to
deter Nine. Abelli, who in addition has
just accepted an invitation to address
clubwomen of Baltimore on November

hopes to take to the radio with the
campaign which she is making at the

A NEW SAUERKRAUT.
paign

Sauerkraut and "weenies" or spareribs as the individual taste may dictate is a standard dish known the world Its virtues have been sung by the high and low and if it isn't as common with us as corned beef and cabbage it's only be- cause no Jiggs has come along to immortalize the dish
 The Government, however may do for it what MT. McNIanuss creation did for the corned beef delicacy. Through the Department of Agriculture it has announced another kind of sauerkraut than the one made from cabbages. Turnip sauerkraut, it declares, is an appetizing food" But it fails to recommend either "weenes" spareribs.
 It has found that good sauerkraut can be made from medium-sized purple-top turnips. They should be sweet, firm and juicy in order to allow proper fermentation and flavor The fleshy part of the root is ground shredded and mixed with salt at the rate of four ounces of salt to 10 pounds of turnips The mixture is then packed in stone jars, weighted down and allowed to ferment.
 Turnip sauerkraut may be stored at a low tem- perature for sometime, the Department said. It has sharp flavor closely resembling good cabbage sauerkraut Most of the turnip flavor is lost when the kraut ferments If that is the case one wonders why make it out of turnps when cabbage is so cheap and plentiful.
