TAKOMA LOSES
LIQUOR SALE
BATTLE

Takoma Park (Md.) resident.
lost their fight to keep liquor from
the vicinity of the region bordering
town before the Prince Georges
County Board Of License Commits
sioners at Upper Marlboro yester
day when that body issued an off
sale beer license to Eleanore
Lovett. She had petitioned for
an on sale license.
What restrictions to place upon
Capitol Heights liquor dealers, as
petitioned by residents of the
town, was delayed until the
boards next meeting, when Har.
vey Ferguson, one of the beer deal,
ers, will be asked to appear before
the board.
A proposed ordinance for the
town closing all dealers at l a. m.
weekdays and midnight Saturday
was delayed after the appearance
of John S. White, counsel for the
Prince Georges Liquor Dealers AS.
sociation, who asked whiskey deal
ers not be penalized for alleged
violations on the part of a few
beer dealers, who are not mem
bers of the association and who
can remain open without any re.
Striction as to sale.
He stated the board would set a
bad precedent for dry agitatorS by
ordering all dealers in one local
ity closed. The agitation in Capt.
tol Heights hinges around the
death of a man allegedly in a
street brawl.

cation that there will be some
heavy payments to the Federal
Government on next March IS.
Broomcorn is the reason.
Early in the summer the crop
appeared to be a failure. Then,
late in August, came a drenching
rain throughout the broomcorn-
raising section of the county.
Drought in other sections of the
country sent the price soaring,
from $95 to 5000 a ton.

two tablespoons chopped parsley, one
shredded pimento, three-fourths cup
peas and one hard-cooked egg, sliced.
Mix carefully, heat and serve on but
tered toast.
A ham hook may be boiled with
cabbage for one meal, and the meat
used later on in this recipe. The cab
bage will impart a fine flavor. OK
joints are visitors at almost every epi-
cures table, but in general home cooks
scorn them.
Very inexpensive. tender, succulent
meat they make when prepared in
this way: Cut OK tail at joints, parboil
five minutes, drain and dredge with
-four; saute in butter with sliced
onion added When Drowned add one
fourth cup flour, two cups each Of
brown stock, water and canned toma-
toes. one teaspoon salt, one-fourth
teaspoon pepper. Turn into baking
dish, cover and cook slowly 3la hours.
Remove OK tail. strain sauce and re-
turn meat and sauce to oven to finish

Of parboiled carrots and turnips cut
in pieces one-half inch long and one

tables are soft. add more seasoning.

that we have been considering these

tant, for the value of suit Of this
kind is inestimable If it happens to
fit the openers giant hand. 1t is
likely In that event to be the decid-

not fit his hand, it at least bridges a

and nobody minds II. So today I
shall give you one or two recipes
which will serve as good illustrations
OF this little trick. BY combining less
tasty meats with other ingredients
that make them more interesting you
shall see what surprising dishes we
may have-at very worthwhile
saving.
OF late Americans are learning to
use kidneys In ragouts and braised
recipes-a French habit which is only
now becoming popular over here-and
q good habit 1t is. too. Used with
braised lamb the kidneys add q de-
Hcious flavor and contrast in texture
and give distinction to this as well as
other quite ordinary recipes. Kidneys
sauted and served with well-sea-
soned wine sauce are delicate enough
for an epicure-and least expensive

shaped spots. The throat Is un.

curve at the tip; the saucy eyes are
yellow, and the tail is long and hand

The brown thrasher is a first cousin
to Jennie and Johnnie Wren, though
he is considerably larger and does not
dress like the wren family at all He
has thrushlike mannerisms, one of
them being silence near the nest: the
other, the free swift flight and the
running and hopping over the ground,
searching for food.
His twitching, wagging tail gives
him the right to the name OF
thrasher. Watch him when he Is ait
ting upon a rail or in tree. If you
know your thrasher, he will be swing
ing his tail with the regularity of a
ground, routing the grub from his
burrow, or snaring the worm from his
dugout, throwing away the leaves that
have sheltered many an insect. the
tail will be thrashing about like wind
mill. II the thrasher did not have his
tail to express his emotions with, no
telling what he would do.
There was a time when these happy
neighbors built their nurseries on the
ground. AS there seemed to be so
many prowling creatures. the thrash
ers decided 1t was safer to build the
home a few feet from the ground
