SPAGHETTI AND
MEAT COMBINED
italian Dish Was Favorite of
John Philip SouSa,
Late Musician.

Not only do the Italians under
stand the harmony of music they
enjoy delightful harmonies in food
fiavors as well.
In Italy, spaghetti is what bread
and potatoes are in most other
countries, the starchy food which
makes up large part of the daily
fare. OF course meat must be added
to supply the protein and fat, and
frequently this is in the form Of
meat balls.
Maybe there is some affinity be-
tween meat balls and spahetti and
musical harmonies for that great
American musician, John Philip
Sousa, at one time declared that his
favorite food was that very combi-
nation. This is the way he liked to
have it prepared:
Boil slowly one quart can Of to-
matoes for one and a half hours.

Take two pounds of chopped beef,
add l onion, chopped fine, two cups
bread crumbs, a little parsley, salt
and pepper. Make into meat balls
about the size of a plum. Put into
the sauce and simmer for an hour
and a half. About an hour before
taking from the stove, add three
bay leaves to the sauce.
Into large pot Of boiling water,
into which has been put one table
spoon Of salt, slide one pound of
spaghetti, taking care not to break
it. Boil exactly twenty minutes.
Serve the spaghetti on a large
platter, and pour the tomato sauce
over it. Serve the meat balls on a
smaller platter, allowing a small
quantity of the sauce to remain on
them. Serve with grated Parmesan
cheese on the side.

Spending Restored Paw.

When it was known that the pay
cut Of Government workers was to be
restored literally thousands of people
asked the natural question: what
will they do with the money!" 1t was
taken for granted that the action of
Congress In overriding President
Roosevelt's veto would have a con-
structive effect on business in Wash
1ngton, and it was realized that the
influence Of increased sales would aid
recovery in the communities from
which manufactured goods come to
the Capital. The lowering of wages
had hurt trade; 1t followed that rails
ing them again would spell improve
ment.
Merchants, of course, were directly
concerned. Their policies of buying
and their technique of selling were in
volved. At the moment they still are
engaged with the problem. No final
decision can be reached until the pub
lie mind has had an opportunity tc
demonstrate its trend. Only after
April IA will shops and stores reflec,
consumer interest accurately. Mean
while, a certain amount of speculation
Is inevitable.
To illustrate: 1t was the luxury
lines that suffered first when the de.
preston began, but will they be the
first to experience the benefits of re.
turning prosperity? Some individuals
answer in the affirmative: others ir
tbs negative. There has been q grad

No Nickel, No War?

It has remained for Mr. j. S. Woods
worth, a Canadian Labor member Of
Parliament from Winnipeg, to pro-
pose a brand-new method for pre-
venting war. His remedy Is simple.
He would make it impossible for ma
tions to purchase nickel for arma-
ment purposes, especially armor plate,
in the manufacture of which it is an
essential ingredient.
AS Canada has practically a mo-
nopoly of nickel, supplying ninety per
cent Of the worlds needs, Mr.. Woods
worth favors nationalizing the COM
modify. 1t is due to increased war
preparations" he suggests, that the
output of nickel has more than dou-
bled during the past year. Canada,
1t is proposed, should control both the
output and its destination, so that
nickel would not fall into the hands
of armament makers. With war clouds
gathering on the international hori-
zon, Mr. Wordsworth thinks that the
Dominion has a wonderful opportu-
nifty ito fight on dozen different
fronts in this great war to end war"
1t is a stimulating notion. It's
patentee intermingles realism with his
idealism when he admits that there
would be some difficulty in govern
ment interference with such big in
dustry,' but he reverts to the Uto-
plan by suggesting that in an inter-
national emergency the rights of
stockholders should be sacrificed to
the cause of humanity"
Mr. Wordsworth proposes that the
League Of Nations be asked to crack
the nut and evolve a method of en-
bargoing nickel along with narcotics.

Interesting, but Not New

From the Syracuse Herald.
In a lecture at the University OF
Michigan a chemical expert from the
Iowa State University elaborated
spectacular scheme for the solution
of the agricultural problem. His plan
was simple enough, whatever might De
said of its probable efficacy. He pro-
posed the manufacture OF alcohol from
excess farm products such as corn,
oats and wheat, and he backed his
program with the claim that the COM
bination of alcohol, as thus obtained.
with gasoline would provide better
fuel, giving more mileage per gallon
with less carbon and easier starting,
than the present commercial gasoline
Indeed, he went so far as to say, in
the vernacular. this ocean of liquid
fuel would be the shot in the arm"
that would end the depression.
Most readers will look on the prof.
ect as visionary, while others will re-
gard it with misgivings as new and
unneeded source of fresh alcoholic
supply. Yet whatever else may be
said of it, it is by no means novel.
A sapient contemporary brings to
mind the fact that an industrial alco-
hol act was the same helpful farm
object in view, and that in due time it
relapSed into "innocuous desuetude." :"
1t seems to have been adopted in the
teeth of a strenuous opposition from
the big distilleries. In that case, how
ever, the need of new automobile fuel
was decidedly limited, and the pro-
fessed object of the farmers friends
in Congress was to increase the supply
Of alcohol for the making of paint
and other industrial products. But
the farmers benefit was inappreciable.
Moreover, at that time the taste for
alcohol of the industrial kind among
unfastidious drinkers had not been
developed.
Chemistry has since made great for
ward strides and fuel necessities have
multiplied. For that reason, if no
other, the Iowa professors idea may
bear some liquid fruit. Let us hope it
will all be industrialized.
