Vegetable Bargains in Markets
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

ally glazed vegetable is used for din
ner Glazing Is accomplished by melt
ing butter and sugar together and
heating the vegetables in this mixture
1t is particularly suitable for onions
and carrots and I had white turnips
done in this way in Vienna. Beets arg
also very good prepared this way.
While combinations of vegetables are
not used very much for dinner, We all
like succotash, in which lima beans
and corn are usually used. A Canadian
friend of mine makes glorifled sue
cotash by adding string beans as well
and dressing the whole with cream Re
member for succotash or any other
vegetable combination all vegetables
are usually cooked separately and put
together for service. The most famous.
or rather Infamous, combination is OF
course, carrots and peas, both of which
l like by themselves. or even on the
same plate, but which I am contrary
enough to dislike when put together.
Perhaps this is because they are asso-
ciated in my mind with rather poor
meals. Celery and string beans are
very good together.
French fried vegetables, other than
potatoes, are being used more often now
than they once were. Eggplant and
squash will be dry and crisp when
cooked in deep fat. French fried onions
have long been known as a special
chop product. and I have even
had caulifloWer cooked this way.
The vegetables we associate with HOl-
landaLse are asparagus, cauliflOWer. arti-
chokes and more recently, that Italian
squash which is known as zucchini. A
little more delicate sauce Of the same
type is made from sour cream and egg
yolks.
If you make up vegetable plate it is
a good idea to have a stuffed baked
potato, green pepper or tomato for your
center Around this other vegetables
may be grouped. 1t will be more in
teresting if they are dressed in variety
of ways.

Travelling Seeds.

IN our last story I spoke Of young
spiders which spin silken bal
looms" and are carried far and
/ wide by the wind.
Winds also help the seeds of
plants to travel. Probably you have
watched seeds of the maple tree being
whirled about III the air. There is a
good-sized wing" attached to each
seed, and this wing is useful IN catch
ing the force of the wind.
Even more commonly we see dande-
lion seeds being carried away by the
breeze. Their form and their lightness
make it simple for a breeze to carry
them long distance.
Other plants produce seeds which
are designed to obtain free rides" p"
Such seeds are sticky. in one sense or
another. They may be coated with a
kind of mucilage, or they may have
barbs and hooks. The ones with ''mu-
cilage" are well fitted to cling to the
feathers of birds; the others will catch
almost anything. If you have walked
through field containing mature
"sticktight" seeds, it is likely that you
have found them clinging to your
clothing at the end of your journey.
Most likely you have paid little atten-
tion to the place where you have
Animals which browse about pastures
or wander through the woods pick up
burrs and other point-covered seeds in
their furry coats. Sooner or later
these seeds will drop somewhere The
chances may be only one in a hundred
that given seed will fall in a place
where it will take root, but Nature is
willing to be wasteful With millions
Of seeds falling to earth, it is enough
| if only a small part of them reach soil
where they can grow
There is a kind of cucumber native
to Europe which bursts at the time
the seeds are ready to go into the
world. Liquid gathers inside the fruit
until there is SO much pressure that
the skin bursts. The seeds may not go
more than or feet when that
takes place. but at least there is a
little travelling.
In much the same way, pigweed and
witch-hazel plants shoot" their seeds.
1t is stated that witch-haZel seeds have
been flung to a distance as great as
40 feet at the time Of the bursting Of
the pods.

DRIVERS LICENSES?

Death still rides the North Carolina highways
The September toll was measurably less than thaU
for August yet it was heavy enough to emphasize
again the gravity of the driving situation in the
North State.
During September. 63 went to their deaths. The
August figure was SO and the total for September
of last wear was 65 However, 563 have been pre-
maturelv laid in their graves in the state since the
first of this year.
Raleigh officials can offer explanation Tor
the drop in the toll for September as compared
with August. but are doubtful it may be ascribed
to anv positive reason. They feel the decline for
the one month was largely matter of "luck' ami
they are most likely right.
The problem of curbing recklessness and inepti-
tude behind the steering wheel is still one over
which most of the state is bordering in vain. Many
are raising vociferous demand for drivers IL
censes. Licenses for each individual who drives a
car may be the solution If handled properly by
the state legislature, licensing system could be
invoked without undue burden on the public.
North Carolina, however lacks complete CONT
dence in its general assembly These are days when
every excuse for taxation is being seized in Raleigh
and rammed down the Threats of the individual,
The State is fearful license measure would not
be made a police regulation but revenue me-
dunn. Automobile owners are already paying more
taxes than most of them can really afford. There
is not the slightest reason why drivers licenses
could not be issued and the system enforced through
the most nominal of fees, fees scaled so low as to
permit two or three members of family to drive
without straining the family pocketbook. On that
basis the license system probably should be tried.

ENTERING THE SECOND STAGE
OF RECOVERY
(By BRUCE CATION

Anyone who has studied the public re-
action to the recovery program cannot
have failed to notice that we recently have
passed from the first phase of this expert
ment into the second.
The first phase was the era of unanimous
public approval Few of us understood eX-
actly what was going on, but we could see
that some definite action was being taken,
and we liked the idea. There were no dis
senting votes. Everything that was done
drew a round of cheers.
Now things are different. Criticism has
beoun. The various acts of the recovery
program are being submitted to searching
ANALYSIS, and those who believe they see
defects are not backward about calling at
tention to them.
II would be a mistake to assume that
this criticism proceeds solely from those
who have private axes to grind. There Is
some shipping going on, of course, toucneo
off bv gross selfiShness; yet that in itself Is
not enough to explain the change IN the
public's attitude.
Evidently we simply came to the end Oh
the period in which our one wish was 10
see faction, and action now" We coulon
go on cheering forever over the fact that
the national government had recovered
from an attack of paralysis. 1t got to be
high time for us to bring our critical tacul-
ties to life.
This is bound to be good thing for the
administration.
$50 No government can give its best If there
is a complete and continued absence OF
criticism. If its every act is hailed as
masterpiece of wisdom, it sooner or later
will get to be like an engine without fly
wheel.
Perhaps the best thing that could have
happened to the recovery program as
whole is the fact that people now are
ready to speak up in meeting the moment
they see a flaw in it.
We are, after all, still democracy ana
not dictatorship. We want to stay tnat
way. By subjecting the recovery program
to critical analysis, we simply are proving
that our democracy is continuing to tunc-
ton in the proper manner.

IS SOVIET HooDwINKING U. S.?

Soviet recognition by this country has been dis
cussed until the subject mas been almost exhausted
Ever since cambridge Colby outlined our foreign
policy with that nation Russian debts, propaganda
and the immediate gain to this country by resunl-
ING trade relations have run the gamut of editorial
pens.
The press for the most part, is convinced that
Soviet propaganda is a dead issue. 1t has been
pointed out that the connection between the Third
Internationae and the Soviet government is more
academic than real; that the Stalin-Trotzky feud
buried once and for all the idea of world revolu-
ton. Unfortunately, the Soviet Republics have
been, and are, ruled by group of fanatics-clever
but fanatics nevertheless. Fanatics rarely change
their coats. Soviet propaganda has been buried;
temporarily, expeditiously and automatically. The
success of the Russian experiment depends in part,
on recognition by this country.
Our immediate economic gains are apparent.
Ultimately we shall be providing the Soviet repuo-
lies with that equipment which might spell ruin
for the next generation in this country.
Russia will be recognized and the debt question
will remain unsettled. But when commercial trea-
ties are being drawn up with this country 1t might
not be amiss to insist that furnish Russia con-
sumner products and not equipment which Will torn
the basis for competing industrial unit across the
sea-
1t has been said that Russia is primarily an ag-
ricultural country and its people cannot very wei
be trained to think along manufacturing lines.
Maybe 1t must be remembered, however, that
most Russians were not in favor of Communism
but Lenin, Trotzky and Stain, with mere hand
full of followers, trained them to think so.-NeWs-

Furthermore, it is Mr.. Duranty's view that 30
