q SISTER MARYS
e KITCHEN
BY MARY E. DAGUE

IT'S easy to produce wholesome
and palatable meals when you
have as much money as you need
as economically as possible. But
if you Haven't then the need for
economy of eating leads into a rut
and appetites lag from the sheer
monotony of eating the same food
done in the same way over and
over again.
Unusual seasonings, however,
can do SO much for everyday meat
dishes.
Here's a Chill Con Carne that
calls for pork in place of beef and
adds corn and okra in place of
the traditional beans.
Chill Con Carne
One and one-half pounds lean
pork, 1-3 cup flour, l teaspoon
salt, Is teaspoon pepper, l Glove
garlic, l cup sifted tomatoes, l
cup water, l cup corn cut from
cob, l cup okra cut in diamonds, l
tablespoon chilli powder.
Remove fat from pork and try
out in frying pan. Cut lean meat
in small cubes and toss in flour
which has been mixed with salt
and pepper. Mince garlic and add
to hot pork fat. Saute prepared
meat in hot fat until brown. Mix
chilli powder to a smooth paste
with about ! tablespoon water and
add to tomatoes and water which
have been heated to the boiling
point. Put layer of meat in cas-
serole. cover with layer of corn
and okra and then another layer
of meat. Continue layer for lay
er until all is used. Pour over
tomato mixture, cover casserole
and bake in a moderate oven for
two hours or until meat is tender.
Serve from casserole.

Westport, Conn, is a town that
never fails to give you a new idea.
OF course there is no particular
reason to think you'll like what
Westporters go in for, but never
theless, you won't go away feeling
them dull folk. This winter, I'm
told by a cop, a batch of the So
cial-minded locals decided that a
rather nice idea would be to send
their sons down to the YMCA for
safe keeping, while they fond par
ents) pursued their parties and
festivities. The boys discovered a
magnificent round table and
promptly turned their "Y" evenings
into a gangster-round-the-tabl
club.
They planned robberies and then
carried them out. Bricks were
tossed through the windows Of
closed summer homes for entry and
the culprits INDUCED joyOuSly IN
all manner of thievery. Everybody
suffered, but when the police caught
them they could not question them
in uniform because they were mi
nors. It was ruled in Westport that
Youthful minds should not be
shocked by the sight of uniform
and policeman's badge. A probation
officer also was present necessarily
at every questioning so that no taW~
dry language might escape the Of
ficer's lips in asking the boys what
they had done with Mr.. Jones' suit
of clothes and stolen tools. This is
known as the newer method Of
coaxing wayward boys into being
