he has never sung before. though he

fers ever made to the young musicians
with the divine spark strong in their
makeup. 1t is almost obligatory for
o newcomer in the musical field to
have the stamp of a New York ap-
proval on his work before being eligi-
BILE for big engagements throughout
the country. Why this is so is not per-
fectly clear, for it Is severe and Oft
entimes unjust ordeal for some one
without a routined background Of con-
cert giving 1t is also extremely ex-
pensive and, In most cases. is money
thrown away, for the debutante who
srouses the enthusiasm Of that me-
tropolis to the extent that the echoes
reach the concert managers in dis
tant cities is a rarity. The giver of
first concert in New York must have
o finely balanced nervous system or be
extremely unsophisticated If he does
not feel the nerve-racking tension Of
such an occasion.
Yet managers throughout the colln-
try continue to ask what is the re-
action Of New York to the work OF
the artist, and are willing to take
them under consideration II the criti-
cisns give them something to 60 on.
Knowing this the Schubert Memorial
helps the young artists to save time
In winning fame by financing the first
important step. The appearance at
the Metropolitan is the aim of all
singers in Europe or this country, and
the fortunate winner Of the contest
will be able to sing under the most
artistic and glamorouS operatic sur
roundings in the world without the
usual Inconvenience.
It Is to be hoped that Washington
will not only be well represented in
the contest, but that at least one of
the winning artists will be from this
city. II ever the ambition to have
Washington the leading city in musi-
cal affairs is to be realized every op-
portunity, such as this contest offers,
Of attracting attention to the work
being done here, must be seized upon.
While striving always to increase
knowledge and perfect presentation,
the eye must glance occasionally at
what is being done throughout the
world and, if there Is a chance to take
part, 1t should not be allowed to 60 by.
There is a variety Of opinion as re-
CARDS the advisability of entering stu
dents in any contest. Many teachers
feel 1t is opening the way to losing
pupil, but this can only be the case
when there Is inadequate preparation.
Sometimes the teacher is over enthu-
siastic over the progress of pupil and
loses thereby the ability to judge if the
quality Of his work is really above the
standard. And, of course, that is the
type Of work that wins in q contest.
It Is also claimed that pupils become
discouraged when they do not win the
coveted prize. 1t is perhaps as well to
know Immediately what is the stam-
ina Of a gifted musician and, If the
will to continue in spite of obstacles
or lack Of praise is wanting, it is use
less to seriously consider career. Out

Cucum Der Sauce Fine
 For Fish

The best baked fish, as you've probably observed, often has a cucumber stuffing. Those doughty relatives of pickles and gherkins have a way about them when 1t comes to indefinably appealing flavor.
 Now we really didn't start out to talk about fish stuffings, as the recipe which shortly swims into view is for a fish sauce. But the cucumbers are equally effective in the purpose they serve. The whipped irradiated evaporated milk and grated cucumber blend entrancingly. And the fish smiles it's own inimitable smile of pleas ure!

sodium, an excellent purifier and an aid to digestion. Sodium is also helpful in counteracting acidosis and fermentation-two conditions which are ofter prevalent in sum- mer when menus have not been wisely planned.
 The ideal way to prepare the stuffed turnips is of course to boil them first until fairly tender, then to scoop out the centers, fill with the stuffing, sprinkle with crumbs and bake them in the oven until the crumbs are brown. But my re- cipe entails no such hot work for the cook

Bean Salad Real Treat
 These Days

You're missing a bet if you don't serve bean salads. Cold canned stringless beans with French dress ing make one of the simplest and most appetizing salads you can serve, but they can be served with other dressings, and in combina- tion with other vegetables. They make a delicious salad, for in- stance served in the following way:
 Stringless Bean Salad with Roquefort Dressing Drain one cup of canned stringless beans, chill thoroughly and arrange ill six lettuce leaves. Combine one- third cupt salad oil, two table, spoons vinegar, one-half teaspoon salt and ne-eighth teaspoon pep per, and shake or beat until well emulsified. Mash half wedge of Roquefort cheese, and add the oil and vinegar slowly, stirring until very smooth. Pour over the salad. Serves six, and costs, in- cidentally, less than thirty-five cents.
 Lima Bean and Tomato Salad: Dip two large tomatoes in boiling water, then in cold. Remove skins. Chill, cut in h alves, and place one half in each of four let tuce leaves. Combine half the contents of No. can lima beans, one small minced onion, four tablespoons chopped celery and salt and pepper to taste. Moisten with four tablespoons mayonnaise, and pile on top of the tomato halves. Serves four, and costs only quarter.
 Beat and Bean Salad: Drain well one cup canned diced beets and half the contents of a 10 1-2- ounce can stringless beans, and add three tablespoons chopped sweet pickle. Add three table,

in many busy families, serve each luncheon plate in the kitchen, with salad, hot rolls, crisp potato chips and perhaps a spiced each. The plates will be all ready to place on the table the instant the family ar- riVes.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-13

When there is little chicken left over from fried or baked chic- ken served on Sunday, make a creamed chicken hash or chicken a la king and use the freshly baked waffles sa crouton or patty in- stead of toast or pastry. This al- ways makes a tempting summer supper dish, and, with the addi- ton of salad of mixed vegetables is all you need for the main course.
 Instead of making the usual shortcake for the berry dessert, pile crushed strawberries or whole fresh raspberries (sweetened to taste) upon the hot buttered waf- file, top with another waffle, garn- ish with berries and top with whip ped cream. If you are using full size iron. two quarter-sections will be sufficient for each person. of course.
 There is no noticeable heating of the room when using ca good electric waffle iron, and it is con- venient to bake the waffles at the table for informal or family meals. When you notice signs of abating interest in your cold summer menus, add this littel touch to oc- casional meals and see how nicely It bridges the gap between the all- cold menu and the hot one.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-13

NO matter how much pleasure there is in trying out new dishes the practical minded woman doesn't care to try long and tedious processes when the weather is warm. It's the quick, easy, tasty foods which tempt the family ap- petite and appeal to the cook.
 Meat salads seem to fill all these requirements for summer lunch or supper.
 Cold, leftover roasts or chops Hhould be chilled thoroughly, so that they may be cut into small, firm cubes about the size of the end of your finger. Often times the meat will need extra salt, sprinkle it with salt and let it stand while the vegetables are prepared. Bits of 2 or 3 kinds of meat, like cold pork chops and the end of the veal roast may be used together to lend variety in flavor. A bit of ham and a small tin of canned chicken are delicious together.
 If you're making large quan- tity of chicken or veal salad for q club supper or party, cook the meat especially for it, be careful not to over cook it or it will be stringy and fall to pieces when you mix the salad. When it is just ten der, let 1t cool thoroughly in the broiler and then cut it for the salad.
 Bits of spicy cold sausage such as Mettwurst, Vienna or Salami mixed with potatoes, macaroni or other mild vegetables or cereal give a dierent and satisfying com bination.
 For vegetables to combine with meat choose crisps colorful and fiavorful ones like celery, cucum- bers, radishes and peppers. Soft cooked vegetables which become limp or watery when mixed with dressing are not so desirable, ex- cept as a garnish for the top, Pickles and olives, nuts and some tart fruits are good additions.
 A meat salad is apt to be too mild unless 1t is dressed with tablespoon of lemon juice or is first marinated in French dressing for 1-2 hour. A French dressing of part vinegar to parts of salad oil, seasoned with said, red pep per and mustard finds its way all through the salad salad and sea- sons it to perfection. After the salad marinates or stands in this dressing for little while it should be drained and mixed with mayon- naise.
 Instead of serving the salad in the usual way, keep it in big wooden salad bowl, line with leaf lettuce or garnished with any avail able green and let each one help himself.
 If luncheon is hurried as 1t is

But you will also find economical recipes that are exceedingly good in tevture and flavor. Here Is one good and reliable one:
 Summer Waffles
 2 cups pastry flour
 3 teaspoons baking powder
 tablespoon sugar
 3-4 teaspoon salt
 eggs
 1-2 cups milk
 4 tablespoons melted butter
 Mix and sift the dry ingredients. beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon colored and add alternately with milk to flour mixture. Add melted butter and fold in the beaten whites of eggs. Bake on hot waf- fle iron, preferably a good electric iron with red light gauge to no- tify you of the correct cooking time.
 This is a good foundation recipe to which you can add chopped nuts, grated cheese or melted choc- olate, if you want nice dessert waffle foundation for vanilla ice cream sandwich. If you use bitter add a little more sugar to the recipe.

 Simple dishes meet with the greatest approval in this country. Of course, the average American likes recipes that are nourishing and appreciates having them dressed up in new ways now and then but, generally speaking, in contrast to the Europeans ideas, he prefers fodo that digests easily and takes little time to eat.

 For instance, Spanish cooks use scrambled eggs, that typically American dish, and build an en- tire luncheon or supper around the fluffy yellow mixture. Here's the way it's done at Fl Chico, a New York night club:

Second Demurrer to Cor

Bishop James Cannon, jr., and
Miss Ada L. Burroughs, his sec
retary, made another attempt to-
day in the District Supreme
Court. to defeat efforts of the
Government to bring them to
trial on a charge Of plotting to
violate the Federal Corrupt Prac-
tices Act during the Hoover
Smith presidential campaign.
Through their counsel, Robert
H. McNeill, the bishop and his
secretary withdrew their pleas of
not guilty and filed a demurrer
and motion to quash to the in
dictment.
The procedure was unique,
since the United States Supreme
Court in deciding the first de-
murrer some months ago, held
the conspiracy counts in the in
dictment were good. The court
threw out eight counts of the
indictment, which charged the
commission of substantive offense
under the law.
Trial Of Bishop Cannon and
Miss Burroughs has been set for
April 9. The date was fixed
after the two defendants urged
