A distinctly different flavor may
be gained by rubbing the skillet with

One of the prettiest dishes you
could choose for a party luncheon
is a platter Of butterfly pork chops,
as shown here The chops are from
the loin after the bone has been re-
moved. The double slices cut not
quite through. are doubled back,
thus making the two sections.
To prepare them, dredge in flour
and brown on both sides in hot fat.
Then add a tablespoon or two of
water and cover closely. In order
to give them a glazed appearance,
cook them very slowly, adding lit
tie water as needed.
Decorate the chops with strips Of
green pepper, curved to outline the
chop, and thin strips of pimento
inside the green strips.
Butterfly pork chops, as do any
pork chops, need long, slow cooking
to develop the flavor. If cooked in
the manner described above, they
will be so tender that they can be
cut with a fork.
For variety, different seasonings
may be used For instance, instead
Of adding water as directed above,
add tomato juice, and then vary it

STEAK RECIPES
SELECTED FROM
LORE OF CHEFS
Marrow Cubes, Cheese and
AnChovy Butter Among
Accomplishments.

The housewife often wishes she
could penetrate the secrets of the
chef when she encounters a steak
or chop which has a subtle flavor
that defies detection.
Some of the chiefs secrets are too
deep to be penetrated by the lay
man and some are too complicated
to be worked out satisfactorily, but
others are adapted to home use.
The recipes have been collected
here and there, and the home maker
may enjoy using them now and then
to impart that different flavor:
Broil steak as usual. Plunge beef
marrow cubes into boiling water for
one minute and drain. Fry fresh

BUDGETING OF
Time REDUCES
KITCHEN WORK
Large Roast May Be Used
for More Than One
Meal.

The housewife who is a careful
"budgeteer" will arrange to make
the most Of her time as we'll as Of
the money expended for food.
Planning meals for several days
ahead is method which saves
work and cuts down the hours spent
in the kitchen. BY this system,
a definite schedule may be ar
ranged so that the work done in the
kitchen on one day wins freedom
for other activities on succeeding
DAYS.
For instance, a larger roast than
IS needed for one meal may be
cooked and served later in various
tasty, easy ways. Il may be served
cold, sliced, in meat salad, or
creamed, or heated with vegetables
in a casserole.
Another way Of saving time is to
prepare an oven meal on busy days.
The advantage Of this is that it
requires little watching after the
food Is placed in the oven. This is
an economical method too. for the
long. slow cooking permits the use
Of the less demanded cuts of meat.
Here is a delicious oven meal:
Veal Drumsticks
Baked Buttered Onions
Escalloped Potatoes
Lettuce SaIsd
Gingerbread Whipped Cream
Tea or Coffee
IL pounds veal steak
cups soft bread crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
] egg, beaten
4 teaspoon salt

2-3 cup cranberry sauce

around the ball of stufflng and
press into the shape of a drumstick.
Fasten with toothpicks or small
skewers.
Into the small end insert wood

Brush with melted butter and place
drumstiCks in baking dish; add
boiling water to cover the bottom
of the dish. Cover closely and bake
one hour in a moderate oven-50
degrees. Serve with brown gravy.

NEW STROKES
By Robert Benchley

I never learned the names
of the new strokes as they came
along, but gather that the in
structionS for some of them
must read:
"The Australian Wrench:
Place the head under water up
to the shoulder blades. Bring
the left arm up, over and around
the neck until the fingers Of
the left hand touch the right
cheek (still under water). Shove
the right arm sideways and to
the left until the right shoulder
touches the chin. Then shift
arm positions suddenly, and
with great splashing, propelling
the body through the water by
lashing upward and downward
with the feet and legs. The
head is kept under water dur
ing the entire race, thereby
eliminating both wind-resistancs
and breathing. It is bully fun.

eral Court of Claims that a
pocket veto is valid in the case
of any session of Congress.
The contention that dis
tinction could be made between
a pocket veto going into effect
on adjournment of a first or
intermediate session and one
going into effect on adjourn
ment of final session was
unanimously rejected by a
great tribunal.
Congress having adjourned,
the bills which President RooSe-
welt declined to approve there
by received a pocket veto, there
being in session no Congress
to which they could be re-
turned. It is within the priv
lege Of a President to exercise

issuing public statement giving
his reasons. Sometimes one
course is followed and some
times another.
But no President can abolish
the pocket veto because no
President can amend the Fed.
eral Constitution. In faI; the
amending process is entirely
independent of the President.
To amend the Constitution
the proposed amendment must
first receive a two-thirds vote
in each Of the two houses in
order to be submitted. Then
it goes from Congress via the
Secretary OF State to the gov
errors of the several States
who transmit it to the legis-
latureS for action. In order to
become effective two-tnirds of
the State legislatures must
ratify it.
Shared Power
Of course, President Roosevelt
is not to blame for the broad
cast that he had abolished a
constitutional power of his ex-
allied office. He knows that he
cannot do that.
He knows that Congress can
not delegate to the President
the amending power because
that power is shared by the
Congress with the several
States.
It is not helpful to the Pres
ident or his Administration for
the people of the United States
to be told that he had at
tempted to exercise a power
that is not his under the Con-
Stitution.
This country is not hospitable
to the idea of increasing the
power of the President beyond
the limit fixed by the trainers
Of the Federal Constitution.
And the last power the Amer
lean people would be willing to
delegate to the President would
be that Of amending any part
Of the Constitution that did not
suit his pleasure, be it the
pocket veto or the Bill of Rights.

Presidential Veto Power
Fixed By Constitution
BIZ James T. Williams, T.

Contrary to the silly story
broadcast from the Federal City
by overzealous propagandists of
the New Deal, President Roose-
welt has not abolished the pocket
veto. Nor has he, as these yarns
allege, established new prece-
dent" by issuing a statement Civ.
ing his reasons for disappearing
a dozen or more bills passed in
the closing hours of the late and
unlamented Seventy-third Con-
greSS.
The veto power which the
President possesses is found in
Article I, Section 7, of the Fed
eral Constitution. It gives the
President 10 days, not counting
Sundays, in which to sign or
veto a bill. If he does not act
within that time and Congress
is still in session, the bill be-
comes a law without his sigma
ture.
If Congress has adjourned
within the 10 days period, and
he is thereby prevented from re"
turning a bill, it fails of enact

reasons for refusing the ap-

Pocket Veto
This is what has come to be
known as a pocket veto. The
first President to exercise this
Constitutional power was An
drew Jackson, over 100 years
ago. At the close of the short
session of the Twenty-second
Congress President Jackson de-
layed sending a veto message to
the Capitol, and Congress ad-
journed on March 4, 1888.
The bill thus given a pocket
veto by "Old Hickory" was one
which had to do with Federal
revenues raised from the sale
Of public lands. Congress in
this bill ordered that the pro
ceeds from these sales be dis
tributed among the States and
this Jackson stopped by this
initial pocket veto.
The validity of the pocket
veto was challenged in recent
years by a number of lawyers,
with some senatorial encour-
agement.

The Human Side of the News
Suggestions for an Enjoyable Vacation
BIZ EdUin C.. Hill

Vacation! The perennial lure
which rouses the faded senses
Of throngs-mammas, papas
and children; frolicking lovers;
pale.faced clerks, tired Of the
humdrum of the workaday
world; serious faced couples
whose scanty savings are barely
sufficient to cover their ex-
penses; prodigal society bellies
and beaux; undaunted spins
tiers who cherish the happy
idea that big things generally
hinge on little beginnings: mid
dle-aged bachelors of wealth
and leisure (if there are any
left)-all summer migrators-
all forming part of a trickle
in the stream of human life.
New York City's Health Com
missioner, John L. Rice, Of
fers some beneficial suggestions
of dos and don't's to vacation
ers, in which he says:
Insist on inspected, pure
water, or boil it. Stick to pas
teurized milk. Choose a lodging
with clean facilities and a
kitchen above reproach; keep
away from swamps, houses on
SwampS and houses without
window screens. On motor tours
pass up the water in streams
unless you boil it; avoid milk
direct from the cow
Sleep at Night
"Get up early, walk before
breakfast, take a shower when
you can, but loaf for an hour
after the morning meal. Take
a nap if you feel like it in
the Afternoon, but do your main
sleeping at night. Indulge in
any sport you like after supper,
and if it's dancing, dance,
but get eight hours sleep. Con-
tract a coat of tan by de-
grees, start with a few minutes
the first day, but don't try to
become Drowned in two days"
Perhaps it might be well to
add to the above: Leave your
cares behind and refrain from
worrying.
We have a definite heritage
of instincts, passions and SEN
SationS. We are faced with
struggles, intrigues, endeavorS
and other complexities of ur-
ban life, as our forefatherS
were.
How to remain healthy and
get the best out of life is just

lem in the existence of most
people, short of specializing as

When I was learning to swim,
people just swan. The idea was
to keep afloat and, in an orderly
fashion, to get somewhere if
possible. If there was nowhere
you wanted to get to, you just
swan quietly round and round
until your lips got blue. Then
you went in.
The stroke that I was first
taught was known as the

High out of the water by the
bows. It was dignified and
stately and went something like
this: lone - two three sink!
One-two- three sink!" The legs
were shot out straight behind,
like a frogs except that they
were not good to eat.
Then the more sporting
among the swimming crowd
took to swimming tipped over
on one side, with one ear drag
ging in the water. This was con-
sidered very athletic, especially
if one arm was lifted out Of the
water at each stroke.

had to lash at the water, tear

drown yourself in an epilepsy.
It became firing just to watch.

matter. to acquire and maintain
good health.
Their Jules are plain and spe-
cific: Breakfast early in the
morning. Take in the air of
heaven through the nose. Never
leave the house until you have
broken your fast. This precau-
ton is all the more important
in times of epidemic, or when
one must enter house in which
there are sick people. Take a
good meal in the middle of the
day. Eat the simplest viands;
they are more nourishing. Be-
ware of the delicate dishes in
vented only to tickle the ap-
petite.
For Better Health
Eat slowly; chew well; such
maStication brea' u; the food in
to bits, charges it well with
saliva, and prepares it for the
stomach. Don't satis1. your ap-
petite to such an extent that
when you get up from the table
you are Surfeited; abundance of
food torrents the stomach and
impedes digestion.
Sup early and frugally. Bet
ter increase the number of your
meals than increase the guam
tity of food you take at each
one. AS soon as you awake in
the morning, rub the chest in
the region of the heart. Other
wise, by getting out of a warm
bed, the cool air will take your
system by surprise, suddenly
closing the pores and causing
various troubles. But if you
beat your breast slightly with
the palm of the hand, you ill
put your blood in movement at
its source and guard against
unexpected tails to your Sys-
tenn.
Avoid swift transitions from
heat to cold. In bed lie on your
right side or on your left, bend
your knees and go to sleep in
this position. Every time you
wake up, Gtretch yourself in
bed; this will impart freedom to
the operations Of the heart. The
heart is to a man what roots
are to a tree.
