The Washington times., 1933-03-08

The new Postmaster General,
James A. Farley, this very day
should notify postmasters through
out the country to put on their
counters, free to the public. ample
supplies of the little lemon-col-
ored folder which contains the
postal savings regulations, ignor-
ing the secrecy note thereon,
singed by his predecessor, Wal
ter F. Brown, which reads:
"NOte for POstmaster-This
form should be distributed ju-
diciOusly; the placing Of it to
follow thoughtful consideration
of local conditions. Generally
speaking, it should be given out
: in response to specific inquiries;
for educational purposes; and
to those to whom the service
might have an appeal, always
remembering that the postal
savings system fundamentally
is not a competing institution.
"WALTER F. BROWN,
POSTMASTER General"
This order, promulgated some
years ago, effectually eStopped the
spread Of information to the pub
lie.
It was made at the demand OF
country bankers who claimed the
dissemination of such knowledge,
through free display Of the fold
erS in the poStoffices, was drain
ing money from their areas into
the big banking centerS.
The regulations prescribe that
the postal deposits, to the extent
of 95 per cent, shall be promptly
redeposited in national, State or
other banks, in the immediate
area of their origination If posi-
BILE, which have been designated
as safe repositories for postal saw
1ngS.
The joker here was that few
country banks found it profitable
to supply the character OF col
lateral required by the Postoffice.
The money, therefore, usually
went out of the district where 1t
was deposited and tended to drift
to the big city banks which could
handle it profitably.
Political Influence
The country bankers promptly
exercised their political influence
where it would do the most good,
with the Postmaster General,
who, whatever be his name has
come to be recognized as the boss
olitician of the party in power
of these United States.
The folders were withdrawn
from public view, and if one
wants one now, even today in
the National Capital, it is neces-
sary to go to the postmaster. and
ask specifically for a folder the
very existence of which is un-
known to the average citizen.
The full text of the folder, de-
signated as "P.S. 4-October,
1881" down to the closing secrecy
clause follows:

Accordingly, savings should be

Cial character to the meat. In my
recipe file alone there are over IT'S oil
ferent recipes for flet mignon-each
different in its method Of cooking or
furnishing, or in the sauce that goes
with it. Which gives you some idea of
the Importance that the chef attaches
to this very delicious meat.
Among those recipes there are many
which are simple enough for prepara-
ton in the home kitchen, and not es-
pecially costly as to ingredients. A good
combination for Sunday dinner or when
guests have been invited for rather
special family meal, is this one called
flet mignon Benjamin:
Cook the filets in hot butter. dress
each one on a round Of hot buttereo
toast and garnish with potato GRO
ouettes and stuffed mushrooms. Serve
with a sauce, or the juices of the meat
left in the pan.
All Of the filet mignon recipes are
very simple, ycI will notice. The f1let
Is simply cooked in butter and sur
rounded with vegetables or sauce or
a garnish that is especially appropri-
ate in texture and flavor in contrast
with the meat. Another good combi-
nation is given in the recipe Tor Met
mignon Montgomery:
Cook the filets in hot butter and
serve on mounds of spinach cooked and
seasoned with little chopped onion
softened In butter. In the center OF
the filet Place a large grilled mush-
room.
Filet Mignon Castillane.-Cook the
filets in butter dress on croutons or
rounds Of buttered toast; garnish with
little tartlet crusts filled with dice OF
tomatoes and surround with rounds OF
fried onions
For filets mignon Melba the meat Is
cooked in butter and garnished with
small baked tomatoes stuffed with
mixture of chicken. mushrooms and
crumbs moistened with heavy cream
sauce. the tops sprinkled with cheese
and crumbs and set under the name
to gratin. Braised lettuces are some
times added to this combination.
A Byzantine garnish for fllets would
include Duchesse potatoes (mashed po-
tatoes whipped up with yolk of egg and
Drowned slightly in the oven), crous-
tades of pastry or fried bread filled
with caulif1ower puree, and stuffed
praised lettuces.
Another good combination consists
of the filet cooked in hot butter and
dressed on croutons or a round OF but
tered toast. then garnished with slices
of fried eggplant. rounds of fried onions
and slices of grilled tomatoes.

after him. That rustling told Nimble-
heels just where Shadow was.
Now had 1t been any other member
Of the Mouse family all Shadow would
have had to do would be to use
his nose and follow the scent left
by hurrying feet. But Nimbleheels was
travelling through the air. There was
no scent save where he touched the
ground Shadow had to depend on his
eyes to keep track Of him. 1t was dusk
and Shadow could not see far. The
constant change Of direction as Nimble-
heels jumped for his life was very con-
fusing. Had he kept in q straight line
it would have been different matter
BY the time Nimbleheels had made hall
a dozen jumps Shadow had lost track
Of him.
As soon as he was sure of this MINI
bleheels stopped jumping. He hid in q
little pile Of leaves. Shadow continued
10 hunt for him for a little while, but
only for a little while. He knew that
it would be only by chance that he
would find NimbleheelS. Then he gave
up and went to hunt for some one else
who didn't jump.
For a long time Nibleheels remained
hidden In those leaves. When he did
venture out he moved slowly and very
cautiously. He didn't jump. A lot OF
jumping is very tiresome, so Nimble-
heels jumps only when 1t is necessary
He wanted to go straight back home
but he didn't. Shadow might be some
where around home and the wise thing
was to keep away until he was reason
ably sure that the way was clear. Sc
instead Of going home he hunted beech
nuts under the leaves. So he spent the
night.

away. He did not know that Nimble-
heels was near at hand. He wasn't look

looking for any one who would be good

and nose, running this way and that
way to examine everything under which

Nimbleheels knew that as surely as he
was sitting there Shadow would find
him If he continued to sit. Never in his
life had he wanted more to be safely

nately, beginning close to the wing, II
1t Is necessary for the legs to be carved
they should be severed from the body
and then cut into slices. A little stuff
ing or small piece Of liver should be
served to each guest.
The Soup Course.
Savory near-buillon is excellent fol
the soup course. Bring a pint OF
oysters to boil in pint of hot water
Drain and strain the broth. When ready
to serve, dissolve three beef bouillon
cubes in three cupfuls Of boiling water
Add this to the oyster broth, season
highly with salt, bit of onion juice
and a. dash Of cayenne pepper. Bring
to boil and serve in cups with spoon
full of whipped cream on top of each
Sprinkle a tiny bit Of minced pimentc
on top Of each dab Of cream. To utilize
the oysters, add to them an equal OF
double amount Of stewed celery cut ir
inch pieces. and serve in a rich white
sauce on squares of toast for supper.
Vegetable Platter Service.
A real Thanksgiving dinner menr
always includes a generous number Of
vegetables. The best solution to serv.
ing them is to arrange them attrac-
lively on a single platter. Select three
or four vegetables which will GROUP
nicely together from the flavor, color
and texture standpoints. The center
mound may be Of snowy white mashed
potatoes garnished with bits of pi.
mento cut in fancy forms. Surround
ing this may be timbales Of spinach
interspersed with creamed white onion!
and tiny buttered beets.
Arrange two platters Of this sort ane
appoint one Of the guests on either sidt
of the table as the vegetable server
The silver for the serving may be ar
ranged at the beginning Of the meal o.
placed when the platter is brought in
In the latter case II should be at hant
on the buffet or serving table. There
should be no cropping in drawers fol
needed utensils.
By this arrangement the carver
passes a plate containing turkey
stufflng, and a candied sweet potato
first to one side and then to the othel
side The respective vegetable server
then adds the other vegetables. Ths
relishes should be passed by those K
whom they are nearest, avoiding con.
fusion by not passing across the table
Thus the hostess is left free after She
has placed the platters of turkey anc
vegetables to see that everyone's desires
are cared for.
Celery Tarci-Prepare short, wide
curved-out stalks of celery and roll ir
a damp cloth. If you wish, stuff the
cavities with cream cheese moisteneo

Without q regular season OF opera

credited to Mrs. Howard Linn, society
leader. and last nights performance OF
intimate opera" was the first OF three
for the benefit Of a charity enterprise.
The audience was veritable who's

presentation of the program was some
thing new to Chicago opera lovers and
perhaps bit puzzling at times. the ap-
plause was spontaneous and enthus1-

The program by the New York Music

and consisted of the lively musical
sketch by Gluck, THE Cadi Deceived.
and a companion piece. Rimski-Korsa-

All the singers but one, Irene Williams
Of Philadelphia, a lyric soprano, were
former members of the Chicago Civic
