Strange that with all the inge-

too.
Clumsy things they are. for the
most part, such as asbestos mats.

In sausages and hominy we have
a dish that may be served appro-
priately for breakfast, lunch or
dinner. Little link pork sausages,
fried to a delicate brown are ar
ranged in pairs around mound of
boiled honniny. A few sprigs of
parsley add that touch of color
which lifts any dish to distinction.
If you serve the Sausages and
hominy for breakfast, the hominy
will take the place of cereal; if for
lunch or dinner, you will not need
potatoes.
Hominy is a general name for
ground corn. 1t is made finer or
coarser in different parts of the
country. The whole kernel hominy
is often called samp or hulled corn.
The smaller forms are called gritS.
The hominy must be soaked for
several hours. A f1reless cooker is on
excellent utenSil to use in cooking
hominy, or a double boiler may be
used. The gritS take less time, of
course.

may be put in the pan and allowed

BUFFET SUPPER
TAKES NOTE OF
SWEDISH ORIGIN
Meat Balls Form Main
Dish; Meal Called
SmorgaSbord.

A buffet supper is really a help
yourself one, and since this idea of
helping yourself is an old Swedish
custom, let's make our buffet supper
truly Swedish. You'll find it is q
novel way of entertaining.
The SmOrgasbord or first course
Of the Swedish meal is always
served in help-yourself fashion, so
this is the part we want to borrow
for the buffet supper. Literally,
smorgas means bread, and butter
and bord means table, so it is a
bread and butter table.
Everything can be prepared in
advance, even to setting the table,
so at|the last moment there is moth
ing to do but set out the food. You
can bring a crowd in from the
movies and almost before they have
their wraps off have ready for them
a supper they'll talk about for
weeks.
A platter of cold meat neatly and
attractively arranged carries out the
Swedish idea of a bread and butter
table. A slice of cold meat. two
slices of bread, a little lettuce, but
ter creamed for easy spreading, and
there you have the makings of
sandwiches.
In Sweden, the mainstays of the
smorgasbord are herring salad and
meat balls. Even the meat balls
may be partially prepared before
hand, so all that is necessary lust
before the supper is to reheat them.
Here is a recipe for genuine Swed-
lSh meat balls. Tt is suggested bv

This famed vineyard region of

the belief that it is about to enjoy
a great rush of prosperity from sales

Many factors shape the belief of
Burgundy that its wines face a long
uphill fight before winning the
American market - the general
American preference for spirits, lack

of those of great year-beautiful

Summed up, in a statement by
one expert, the wines of 1888 are
considered rather better than aver
age. They do not compare with
the three years most generally re-
garded as the high peaks of recent
wine history-1911, 1923 and 1929
but 1888 is better than 1928, not so
good as 1929-somewhere in be-

OFFERS PORK SALAD
FOR SUNDAY SUPPER
Economist Suggests Way to
Use Leftover Meat.

For the Sunday supper, a meat
salad is ideal.
It is a substantial dish which is
easily prepared, and besides that,
it furnishes a very good way of
using the meat left from the Sun
day dinner roast.
The following recipe for pork salad
is given by Inez S. Wilson, home

Then, perhaps, they slipped. Just
a little. Rolled it on their tongues,

Then, gravely, they spat. The
heavy sawdust on the floor reeked
pleasantly with the SAVIOR of new

When this ritual was finished, the
judges, who know wines as old

SOUR CREAM FLAVORS

Dressing.
Save all your sour cream and use
it in combination with mayonnaise.
This addition gives the dressing a
much finer flavor. You can make
very excellent cream dressing by
using the heavy sour cream alone
with a teaspoonful of relish and one
of chilli sauce added for seasoning.
This is nice dressing for cucum-

Cuts In Rail Systems
Offered In Merger Program
Thousands WouA Lose Jobs Unde,
Pan Non Being Studied BY
President Rtaaeif.

Complete disappearance Of doz-
ems Of railroad .4Ams, including
the Reading; closing of railroad
shops and yards in scores of cities
throughout the country, and re-
moval of some 100000 railroad
workers from their jobs are features
of a plan for railroad consolida-
tons which has been submitted to
President Roosevelt. The President
is studying the plan, it is announc-
ed, in connection with the general
proposals for effecting economies
through railway mergers.
The latest program, which is
known as the Prince plan, has as
its objective huge savings which
its sponsors say would earn profits
Of half a billion dollars a year for
the railroads. Workers who lose
their jobs would be retired on part
pay for two years, during which
time efforts would be made to find
other employment for them.
Curtailment of railrAad facili-
ties, such as shops, yards, and
freight and passenger stations, is
possible, it is asserted. because in
few instances are these facilities
used to capacity. Curtailment of
such facilities is called for in viz
tually every large railroad center.
The plan contemplates seven
systems for the nation. Two
would be in the East, the first
built around the New York Central
and the Pennsylvania, with %, Jas
miles Of tracks; the second around
the Baltimore and Ohio, Reading.
Central of New Jersey, and Nor
folk and Western, with $4,000
miles of tracks. The third system
would cover the Southeast, with
-2O,Sl0 miles of tracks; the fourth.
the Mississippi Valley, with 2o,s1o
miles of tracks; the fifth, the
Northwest, with 17,so7 miles of
tracks; the sixth, the Central West
with 1888 miles of tracks, anc
the seventh, the Southwest, with
27,513 miles of tracks. Chicago
and St. Lotus terminal system.
would be jointly owned by all Of
the lines.

Federal attention is being turned
to the liquor traffic problem since
81 states have voted to take the
18th amendment from the con-
stitution.
Along with the repeal of the
Volstead act a program of tax
legislation will be submitted to
congress to permit sale of distil-
lates in the District of Columbia
and territories.
Plans to protect the dry states
will be considered, the result of
which may revive the custom of
sending prohibition officers to the
moonshine areas similar to the reve-'
nue. agents of pre-prohibition times.
Objective of the program are
temperance and methods of dis
pensing alcoholic drinks without
the return of the old-time saloon.
In addition steps are to be taken
through the coast guard to pre-
vent smuggling of foreign liquor
across the eastern and southern
coasts where rum fleets are re-
concentrated in a move to
vad tn IS a gallon import tax.

this will be increased to as high

IS NOT, YET OVER
Drys TO SEEK Repeal of Beer and
Wine Next Legislature

Robert R. Reynolds veteran
stumper for the cause of the re-
peal of the 18th amendment, in re-
viewing the results of Tuesdays
election called attention to the add
ed responsibility placed on the shoul-
ders of North Carolinians inasmuch
as they refused to sanction the wet
cause.
The 18th amendment has met
with the approval of the people of
North Carolina and yet it will be
impossible for the government of
the state to keep faith with those
who voted in its favor. Bordering
states are in a position to supply
North Carolina with all the liquor
needed and in order to keep them
from doing just that it will be
necessary for the state to increase
its expenditures for maintenance
of prohibition officers. This will
necessirate increased taxes for this
purpose in addition to losing vast
sums of revenue that is being gain
ed by other states through the sale
of liquors. Reynolds seriously
doubts that the taxpayers of the
state will be able to stand the
strain Of the extra axes.
The drys still with the taste of
victory will not be long in seeing
the above statements become a
fact asserted one wet champion.
The drys in return let it be known
that they were not yet through
handing out defeats and will press
on for the repeal of the beer bill
in the next legislature.
In conclusion Reynolds stated
that the repeal of the 18th amend
ment is a dead issue and that we
must face, and face courageously,
the liquor problem as it applies sole
ly to our own state"
