SAVING WITHOUT sCRIMPING - OYSTERS FOR SUNDAY
 NIGHT SUPPER MENUS
By EDITH M. SHAPCOTT NutrItionist-FOrmer Home Making Center-New York

' f
 with square of bacon sliced not too very thin, until four of the oysters have been used. There should be a piece of bacon at the beginning and the ending of the skewer. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and broil until the bacon curls. Serve on toast, with melted butter, paprika and minced parsley poured over. This makes an ideal Sunday night supper dish.
 Oysters Baked in Cream
 Another delicacy is the dish of oysters baked in cream and served with hot buttered rice balls and a simple salad of inexpensive mixed green. Heat l cup of cream with the peel form M lemon. Remove peel and add tablespoon of sherry and salt and pepper to taste. In baking dish place 1 pint of oys- ters; pour the hot cream over them, sprinkle with grated cheese and bread crumbs. Bake in a mod crate oven for about # hour.
 Plain creamed oysters go far. To l dozen oysters heated until the adges are curled, then covered with cream sauce add dozen merium- sized mushrooms which have been sauted until tender in butter; heat thoroughly but do not cook, season with salt, white pepper and a dash of cayenne. Serve over toast or in pate shells. For supper service, with this pate tomato skinned, hollowed out, chilled and filled with dried cucumb bers, celery and tomato meat with French dressing and topped with a spoonful of may onnaise will furnish the only other food needed for the main course. Place the tomato on bed of crusp cress or a curly lettuce leaf, and garnish with stuffed olives.

The Irony Of Spinach

There's plenty of iron in spin- ach, and it is good for children. but the irony of it is that chil- dren generally don't like foods that are good for them" So after all the labor of washing the spin- ach--and 1t is real labor-and of cooking it--which isn't the best of indoor sports during these hot days -comes the agony of hearing your child say: T won't eat my spin ach!'
 There are several ways to get around these difficulties. The first IS to buy your spinach in cans. This is much better product than you can buy in any city market, and it eliminates the labor of washing it and shortens to mini mum the time of heating 1t. The second is not to tell your child that it is good for him, but to pre- pare 1t in such ways that he will be amused and interested and will- ing to eat it. Here are a couple,
 Mountain Peaks: Make piles of hot fluffy mashed potatoes as high and jagged on top as possible, to represent snow on peaks. Around the bottom pile hot butterei canned spinach to look like the trees below the snow line. Serve with crisp bacon curls and watch the mountains disappear!
 Spinach and Beet Mold: Season the drained contents of a can of spinach welt with butter, salt and pepper, and pack while hot into buttered ring mold. Keep hot WniIe preparing beets. Heat son well with butter, salt and pepper. Turn spinach mold out onto . hot round platter, and fiji centre with beets. Then sprinkle chopped. hard-cooked eggs over the spinach ring to give it a fes- tive appearance, and see what your children do to that!!

pared with the price per pound for chicken, lamb chops or tilet mignon, or even canned crabmeat or lobster, it it not tall uot of line.
 For one thing, it is not neces- sary to surve much that matters in addition to oysters. They make a very good impression all by themselves. Thus when we serve fried oysters for supper, guests are contented with their simple but logical accompaniment "a very good cole slaw, whic his least ex- pensive of the salads. They do not care greatly what the dessert is. Their five or six crisp, fried oysters, with the salad. plain rolls and cof- fee have provided all the food in- terest and food value required.
 Oysters on BrOchette
 An economical way of serving oysters is to arrange them on a skewer, alternating a large oyster

Better Breakfasts

The cock crows in the morn ing to make the sun rise, accord
 ing to Edmond Rostand's Chan
 tecler." Wise wives crow in the
 morning if they are able to make their husbands rise in a happy
 mood, and, according to the vast majority of them, one way to ac. complish this feat is to make the husbands anticipate a tempting breakfast. Here is a breakfast which should surely make any hus- band rise in a happy model:
 TOTmatO Juice
 Shredded Wheat with Cream, Fried Apples with Sausages Toast Coffee
 Fried Apples with sausages: Core three tart apples, and slice
 them in rings without peeling them. Melt four tablespoons but ter in a skillet, add one-half cup
 sugar and one-half cup water, heat to boiling and lay in the apple
 rings. Cover and cook slowly un- til the apples are tender and the syrup thick, turning apples often. Fry the contents of small can pork sausages in their own fat. Pile the apples in the center of a serv- ing dish, and surround with the sausages. + An Open Secret
 It's an open secret nowadays how to have the best kind of cof- fee to complete perfect break

 that are marked vacuum packed" ," and your coffee is sure to be fresh
 when you open it. And that's the whole secret of having good coffee.

PASADENA, Sept. "a. W.P) - A
proposal to divert to cities larger
share of state-collected gasoline
tax revenue featured the opening
today of the annual convention of

disclosed, under which another

collected shall be returned to the
city in which the sale was made.

cording to the committee IS esti-
mate, based on collections of ap-
prcximately $40000,000 last year
The committee resolution will be

of whether the new allotment
should be diverted from funds now

on him, Warns said.
Willmott died that evening, six
hours before the fire broke out.
Death was ascribed to heart dis

"He is SO damned smart he

.L|NDBERGHS
ON WAY EAST

WINSLOW, AriZ., Sept. "a. U.P)-
Col. and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh
took off from this airport tbs morn
ing heading their Monocoupe east
ward for New York where they ace
to aid authorities in the inveStiga-
ton of Bruno r. Hauptmann, held
on suspicion of kidnapping and mur-
dering their child.
The flying couple were closely
guarded here during their brief stay
after arriving last night from Los
Angeles. Two authorities here would
not give out information as to the
time of Lindbergh's departure, say
ing: "All we can tell you is that he
has left"
Carrying out the secrecy that
marked their departure yesterday
from an emergency field near Los
Angeles, the Lindberghs swore
everyone having anything to do
with their departure here to conf
dence. The departure was believed
to be sometime between and a.
m, although it could not be con
firmed for an hour.
The couple landed here shortly
after 6 o'clock last night. They were
met at the field by taXicab that
took them directly to the Harvey
hotel where they spent the night.
Those connected with his arrival
here denied for a time that he had
arrived at the landing field, as the
ship was locked in a hangar upon
arrival and a crew of mechanics
started a thorough inspection and
refueling. A local citizen recognized
the colonel and overheard him give
orders for an early departure this
morning.
Both ate a good breakfast accord
ing to the employees of the hotel
and they seemed rested. They used
taxicab to the airport. Upon arri-
val they climbed into the plane, al
ready warmed up, and departed
| Immediately.
Hardly more than a wave of the
hand marked their takeoff after
Lindy made a hurried inspection OF

On State Committee

One of the chief events of i'm
portance at the recent convention
of the state bar association, held
in Pasadena, was the overwhelm-
ing endorsement by that organi-
zation of assembly constitutional
amendment No. 98, designed to take
the judges out of politics.
This measure will be presented tc
the voters on the November ballot
and affects Los Angeles county
only. 1t provides that the judges
will be appointed, not elected, and
that every six years the people will
be given an opportunity to vote as
to whether they wish a Judge re-
tanned or removed. No one may
run against the judge in question
but if a vacancy occurs, the ap-
pointment will be made by the gov
ernor.
