ing the past few years that fish is one of the most important foods for children.
 When you go to market to buy fish there are. certain qualities to look for in determining freshness and good condition. Of @course, your nose is really the best guide to fresh fish, but there are other and more dependable ways of tell ing in case you have not an acute sense of smell. Look for these points: Bright eyes, bulging and clear; gills bright red in color; skin bright and shiny; flesh firm and elastic. The fish should sink when put into water.
 Fat and Lean Fish
 Remember, too, that fish are Reasonable" just like fruits and vegetables and choose kind that is in season and therefore abun- dant, for the sake of economy.
 The fish dealer should scale, bone and clean the fish for you.
 Fish can be divided into two general groups: fat and lean. The so-called lean fish have fat secret ed in the liver, leaving the flesh clear and white. After cooking, lean fish are quite dry and fiaky.
 The ''ariety of fish chosen usual- ly determines the method of cook ing. With the exception of large fish that are wanted serve whole for some special reason, broiling seems the ideal way of cooking all fish. But for the sake of vari- ety there are other practical ways of cooking particular kinds of fish.
 Baking is a commendable meth cd because 1t retains the best qualities of the flavor and the value of the fish itself, prevents fish cooking odors from invading the hot SC and reques less watch ing than broiling. Pre-heat the oven, lay the fish on an oiled bak- ing sheet or heat-proof platter, brush with melted fat and bake 45 minutes for a fish weighing to pounds. Don't add water and be sure the oven is hot, from 400 to 425 degrees F. A fat or oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, whitefisn and others requires no basting and will cook in its own fat. A very oily fish should be baked on a rack high enough to raise it from the fat that cooks out. Otherwise the fish will al- most stew in it's own juice and be- come strong favored and difficult to digest.

not know how to prepare the avo- cado so that it will be appealing to tastes not yet addicted to 1t. The chef usually combines this fruit with other salad ingredients sometimes with vegetables; more often with other fruits and nuts, as in these salads which l have taken from my file:
 Salad Alma
 Cut hearts of lettuces in halves and on them arrange peeled grape fruit sections and slices of avocados or alligator pears, as most people call them. Dress with vinaigrette or a well-seasoned French dressing.
 Salad Gadsli
 For this use the long lettuce, cut in halves. On the lettuce arrange slices of avocado, dice of apples, pimientos. white grapes; dress with vinaigrette and garnish with crush ed walnuts.
 AvocadOs Indicnne
 This is more elaborate salad. but the mixture of fiavors is de- licious. On lettuce leaves arrange diced avocados. apples, pineapple. rections of grapefruit freed from the membrane. diced celery. red nnd green pimientos, shredded, a few cooked chestnuts. Dress with mayonnaise.
 Another arrangement is this one: Upon the long lettuce mixed with chicory arrange slices of alligator pears and sections of grapefruit. Garnish with hazel nuts and serve with vinaigrette dressing seasoned with chopped cibols o chives.
 White dandelion greens are often used by the French cook in place of lettuce, and these furnish a pi- quant base for a salad of avocados

 Then to complete the menu, serve a substantial salad, bread of some kind, and dessert. It's sur prising to see how heartily a meal of this type is welcomed when served occasionally as an alternate

Pan vs Deep Fat Frying

Many small fish, often called "pan-fish" are good when pan broiled or fried in deep fat. Fill lets of fish are specially nice this way, too. Deep fat frying is pref erable to pan frying since less fat is absorbed in the former method and the crisp coating on the sur face protects the inside from in- tense heat.

mushrooms cut in strips, pimientos, French beans and few grapes for garnishing. Vinaigrette is the dress ing.
 It is impotant to have the avo- cados ripe, but not too much so. or they lose their freshness of tex ture and seem too buttery. Many people like the avocado served in its shell, with no further trimming save well-seasoned French dress ing or vinaigrette.

BIDS ARE APPROVED

The increased participation Of the
Federal Government In the building
Of State highways and che method OF
selection and construction with Fed
eral aid under the supervision Of the
Bureau Of Public Roads has aroused
some inquiry and in the opinion of
w. w. Mack, Chief Engineer of the
State Highway Department, should
be explained to the public.
The Bureau of Public Roads in
charge of Thomas H. Mcdonald,
Chief of the Bureau at Washington
since 1919. is a technical, non-politi-
cal subdivision of the United States
Department of Agriculture, with
central Offices in Washington and
district Offices in various parts of
the country. Delaware comes direct
ly under the Washington office.
In the expenditure of the Federal
road money the Bureau sets up
rules and regulations to be followed
by the states. The State Highway
Department and the Bureau then
must agree on the location of the
projects; that is, the Bureau must
be satisfied with where the money
is to be spent and the types of roads
to be built.
