Clerks Leader Urges Federal
Employees to Organize
To Get 0bjectiVes
BY LUTHER C. STEWARD

President OF the NauOnaI rederatton
OF Federal Employees
(written Especially for The Washington
Times)
The lessons of the past should
teach Federal employees that prog
reSs in the future must come
through organization. Only
through an intelligent, sound, and
aggressive organized effort can
Government workers achieve the
goal of a fair and forward-looking
civil service system.
The new year can and should
hold much of. the most vital i'm
portance to Federal employees and
to the people Of the nation who
look to them for so many ind1s-
pensable services.
In the new year the Federal
Government should set its own
personnel house in order and be
enabled in effect to wear the NRA
Blue Eagle. Today, the Federal
Government can not do so. Pyra-
miding pay cuts, furloughs, cur.
tailments Of various kinds should
be eliminated.
No more important objective
could be set for 1884 than the ex-
tension and strengthening Of the
merit system. That system has
been under fire. Encroachments
upon it have been made not only
in the temporary relief agencies
but in the permanent establish
ment as well. All authorities are
agreed that the merit system is
the foundation of an efficient and
just plan Of public personnel ad-
miniStration.
Classification should be extend
ed to the field services, retirement
legislation should be iberalized,
leave should be standardized, and
in the field the. present iniquitous
rates for quarters, subsistence, and
laundry should be revised radi-
cally.
There is much to be done in
1884. Only through organized ef-
fort can Federal employees hope to
accomplish their constructive OBJ
jectiVeS.

BABCOCK HOPES

President, American Federation
Of Government Employees
Written Especially for The Washington
Times
Washington's prosperity de-
pends on the prosperity of the
Government employees.
Washington recognizes tn a t,
and from every section of the
population arises the demand
that Government salaries be re-
stored, and that the standards
Of working conditions in the Gov
ernment service be maintained at
the highest possible level.
Fortunately 1884 brings hope
and promise that both these great
aims will be achieved. The out
look Is bright for the end Of the
pay cut through repeal, for a
large number of members Of Con-
gress will support such q move
ment, and it will be Of inesti-
mable value to every working man
and woman in this country.
Industry will follow the lead of
the Government.
Activity on the part Of the
American Federation Of Govern
ment Employees and the friends
of the organization is bringing
recognition Of the necessity for
maintenance of standards, and
this too will be won, believe, in
the near future.
Everyone in Washington wants
prosperity; and prosperity for
Government employees will mean
prosperity for all.

Washington in the new year

Progress Noted
In reviewing some of the condt
tions through which the real
estate business has passed, we
must feel proud Of the splendid
showing made by the Capital in
comparison with many other sec.
tions. Despite the unusual and
extraordinary situations that have
come about through the period Of
emergency, Washington has not
suffered as much as the rest Of
the country. ~
It is encouraging to note the
number Of sales being made, and
find an increasing interest on the

Plea for Optimism

written Expressly for The Washington
TimeS)
Undoubtedly people of this
country look forward to the new
year with great hopefulness and
with justifiable confidence. It is
no exaggeration to say that a
new spirit is abroad in the land.
The long years Of depression.
with their repeated disappoint-
ments and bitter suffering, have
at least had the merit Of teach
ing us many valuable lessons.
The imperative necessity for q
better ordered society and for a
more complete cooperation upon
the basis Of friendship and good
will has been made manifest in
myriadS of ways. The vigorous,
sympathetic, and inspiring man
ner in which the President has
taken the lead has been vel
coined with enthusiasm upon all
sides.
No element of partiSanship is
involved in this affair. It has to
do with a coordinated effort un-
DIR a leadership In which the
keople have faith. Those who
hesitate or hang back, or seek to
thwart what is going forward,
fortunately constitute a very
small and discredited minority.
No great results have ever been
accomplished since the begin
ming of time, except under uni
fled leadership sustained by en-
thusiastic and wholehearted sup
ort.
One of the most encouraging
features of our civic life is that
this spirit is in the hearts Of our
people as we turn our attention
to the problems yet to be solved.
When we speak Of the depreS'
sion, we can also with confidence
say that we are "on the way

Popularity Of Soup On
 Snappy Winter Days
Broths and C0nsommes Are Both Nourishing and
 Appetzing

A bit of sour cream or whipped cream in a cup of bouillon, a tiny square of toast sprinkled literally with cheese floating on top the cup, or crispy bits of hard toasted bread (croutons) or popcorn make delicious and attractive garnishes. Often times a few very tiny mac- aroni shells, bits of vegetables cut in fancy pieces, or wee dumplings give vanity to the soup.
 An attractive variation in the service is to pass a wooden tray or brass bowl of assorted accom- paniments, such as pretzels, salted bread sticks and cheese waters.
 Use bouillon cups for serving any clear soup, or the new little individual covered porringers sold as onion soup dishes.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-21
By MARIE CLIFFORD

A cup of delicious, steaming hot
 soup at the beginning of a win- ter's day dinner spells satisfaction of the highest order.
 Clear meat broths are the per- feet choice for soups to be used as appetizers, containing as they do, the meat extractives which are so fiavorful and which stimulate the flow of digestive juices. Instead of the satiated feeling which so often follows a sweet or nllih3 first course, these clear meat soups simply enhance the appeal of the rest of the dinner. And that, after all, is the function of an ap- petizer course. If the soup is made from beef alone it is called bouiilon. 1T veal, chicken and beef are combined to make a light colored broth, the soup is called consomme. This delicately favored broth is usually given emphasis by use Of herbs and seasonings in cooking 1t.
 Easiest of all, of course, IS the use of the already prepared cupe or paste bouillons which are sim plv d concentrated form of sea- soned meat broth, put into an cas- ily handled commercial form. The wise housewife will see to 1t that her refrigerator always carries a few bouillon cubes or a Jar or liuuid beef extract for the hurry up dinner menu. believe we need to consider the rood age-old habit of having a stock pot or soup kettle on the back of the stove, even if few or
 us have coal ranges any more. 50 many times a few rib bones from boned veal chops, the neck and wing tips of the turkey, the tail or a porterhouse steak, go to waste for want of that soup kettle. Even though only one cup of broth re- sults from these small ends of meat, an additional cup of toma- to juice, or an extra bouillon cuhe will extend 1t to serve four or five people. Al, cold water, add salt, letting 1t stand a little while to extract the flavor, then let the covered kettle simmer along gently over the simmer burner 10 extract all the flavor and
 little of the gelatin from the
 bones.
 or buy an inexpensive shank of
 lamb, veal or beef, neck out or
 knuckles. Cut the meat into sew
 eral pieces and have the butcher crack the bone SO that the delicious
 marrow may be cooked into the
 soup. Let cold water, to cover,
 extract its juices first, then sim
 mer gently for two or three hours.
 If the broth is to be served clear
 for the first course of the dinner,
 it had best be allowed to cool 50
 that the fat may be skinned off the top, and then cleared by the addition of a part of an egg white which is stirred into the cool broth, then brought gradually to boil and strained. The egg white
 clears tho soup just as 1t does cof- fee.
 iiQvors hv using some beef and some veal with chicken # you have 1t. Add bits of celery, carrot, par- sley and q slice of onion, \ bay leaf, two or three cloves and c tiny sprlg of marjOram or thyme, 50 that tine blended fiavors of all may 1 lmnart t0 the broth that elusive quality which is 60 desirable in An | nppctiEer. Other variations ln the nslini clear soups may be made by combining the juice 0f canned
 beeis or tomato juice with beef broth.
