Vegetables in Turnip Cups.-Peel
and cook medium sized new white
turnips in boiling water seasoned with
salt and a little white sugar. Drain
and cool; scoop out the centers and
marinate the turnips in French dress
ing seasoned with garlic. Cut the
scooped-out turnip meat into small,
neat dice. Cut cooked carrot into
same small dice; add few spoonfuls
of cooked peas and few tiny pearl
onions. Moisten with French dress
ing, fill in turnip cups; set on crisp
lettuce and serve with cheese straws.
Turnip Fritters.-We have learned
to fry parsnips like fritters, but to
most of us it has never occurred that
turnipS are nice that way, too. Cook
white turnips until tender, then slice
them as you would eggplant. Dip
slices in beaten egg seasoned with
salt, pepper and little onion juice;
roll in cracker crumbs mixed with a
little sugar; dip in egg and crumbs
again and fry in hot fat. Drain on
brown paper, arrange overlapping on
a hot plate, garnish with a sprig of
parsley. These are very good with
roast pork.
Turnips are very rich in sodium.

the road to easy cooking. 1t is never

One of the very good vegetables that
we sometimes have to coax children
even adults-to eat is turnip. Some
thing about the poor, innocent turnip
Just falls short of pleasing many ap-
petites, traceable in most cases to the
fact that few cooks know how to sea-
son them, or to combine them with
other things that blend well.
In California, of course, the turnip
is very different vegetable from
what we usually find elsewhere. There
turnips grow as big as bread-and but
ter plates-firm, juicy, sweet, tender,
really luscious. Many time / have
seen Californians, when preparing
turnips for cooking, slice off pieces of
the raw vegetable and eat them with
as much relish as We do apples. There
is almost no strong odor or favor ;
Just salt, pepper and a big lump Of
butter to make these turnips de-
lectable.

Ingredients for Fritters.
The material used to mix with the

vegetables, or fruit, or combinations
of meat and vegetables or of fish and
vegetables. They may be seasoned
with chopped pimento or parsley,
minced onion, or green pepper, a little
cheese. or peanut butter. In fact, all
the leftovers in the refrigerator that
are right in flavor and texture, when
combined with an equal amount of
tritter batter, make delicious fritterS
that can be served either as a main
dish for supper or luncheon, or as an
entire for dinner.
Clam fritters-Use half a cupful
of clam liquor instead of milk when
making the fritter batter. Add one
pint of drained, chopped, seasoned
clans and drop by tablespoonfuls into
hot fat. Cook as directed.
Meat fritters-Trim small pieces OF
leftover ham, chicken or other cold
meat into shape. Season well and
dip into the fritter batter, covering
the meat with the batter, and fry in
deeu fat at 375 degrees Fahrenheit
until a golden brown in color. Serve
with tomato sauce.
Cheese fritters-Add one-half to
two cupfuls of grated American or
Parmesan cheese to the batter and
drop by Spoonfuls into the hot fat.
These are delicious with salads.
Fruit Fritters-Fruit fritters make

Says Allen Is Ignorant
Of What Socialism Is
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
One Henry w. Allen of Wichita,
Kans., states he prefers the single tax
to Socialism! Brother Allen is in q
tight place apparently, since his con-
trfbution clearly shows that he hasn't
the slightest idea Of what Socialism
may be, and he fears perhaps that
some one will find this out So he
throws around a lot of dust into the
eyes of your more or less intelligent
readers.
He quotes Henry George, Thomas
Jefferson and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
These ancientS were right smart" in
their day, but they would be just as
bewildered and chagrined by the uni
versal breakdown of capitalism If they
were here now as Is Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Allen is probably ignorant Of
the fact that the Socialist party of
the United States is the only one
which has indorsed his beloved single
tax. Socialists wisely point out in
their papers and speeches that land
speculation is now comparatively only
a minor evil, since under our bank
rupt capitalism many land sharks are
obliged to part with most of their
possessions, due to high taxes imposed
by leading capitalist powers to main
tain their huge war machines!
Mr.. Allen should refer to WebSter's
Unabridged Dictionary and certain
standard encyclopedias and he will
discover that Socialism is just the op-
posite of what the big capitalistic
propaganda machine try to make him
believe 1t is. Why does he not refer
occasionally to Socialist sources,
which, of course, know more about So
cialism than the capitalistic oppressors
of the defenseless millions of our de-
caying world powers" England may
survive, as she is to adopt straight
Socialism shortly. S. R. RANDELL.

Another Raphael to America7

1t is by no means certain that for
mer Secretary Of the Treasury Andrew
w. Mellon has purchased Raphael
Santi's gloriously beautiful Madonna
of the House of Alba" The story,
broadcast yesterday, to the effect that
such transaction has been consum-
mated came from Riga and Paris, and
for that reason, If for no other, is
subject to doubt. Similar reports have
emanated from the same sources when
the Soviet government sold pictures
to the Berlin Gallery, the National
Gallery in London and the Metro
politan Museum in New York. In
fact, it has become fashion to sup
pose that every notable painting sold
to an anonymous buyer really passes
to Mr.. Mellon. Some, it may be,
actually have been acquired by him,
but the number is not nearly so great
as the public has been led to imagine
However, it is fair to concede that
there are many Americans who would

If an American victim of kidnapers
were transported across the line this
Government would. of course, ask for
Canadian assistance, and if Canada
has reason to suspect that the kid

Getting Expert Opinion.

The decision on locating the new
adult tuberculosis ssnatorium passes
from experts. to experts, to experts.
The original site at Glenn Dale was
purchased on the advice Of experts.
The recommendation of another group
of experts was that the new hospital
be built there, in accordance with
well-developed plans. The President
is now to turn the matter over to an
other group of experts, who will re-
view the findings of previous experts
and arrive expertly at another expert
decision.
So long as the matter is kept in the
hands of expert%provided it is not
kept too long from the hands of the
builders and the stricken sufferers
from tuberculosis-no one can COM
plain. The President is taking the
right course out of the dilemma, of
mysterious and unexpected origin, set
for him by his advisers. 1t is be-
lieved that his choice of DR.. Lorris-
ton Brown Of Saranac Lake as a

Washington's Half Million.

An official estimate of 497, 900 resi-
dents in the District of Columbia at
the present time, based upon the
average rate of increase since the
1880 census, gives quite positive aSsur-
ance that the population of the
Capital is now over the half-million
mark. For it is explained that this
estimate did not take into account
the 1886 new Government employees
reported by the Civil Service Commits
sion, the major part of whom are GER
tainly living within the District
boundaries. BY any reckoning this
brings the number of actual District
residents above the wartime peak of
sixteen years ago.
Any census enumeration of the
Capital is quite certain to be decep-
tive as regards the working" popula-
tion of the District because of the fact
that great numbers of those who per-
form their daily tasks in Washington
live in the adjacent suburbs of Mary
land and Virginia. This has been the
case for a good many years, ever since
rapid transit facilities have been
afforded and, latterly, since good roads
have permitted communication by motor
car. A rough estimate has placed the
population of what may be called the
metropolitan area at a million.
The first official recorded population
of the District of Columbia was 1903,
in 1900. Fifty years later it had grown
to 5l,687. In 1860 1t was 5000. The
Civil War caused a large increase, and
in 1870 the figure was l31, ,7o9. There
after the growth was steady and by
increasing percentages. At the turn
of the century it had reached the
point of 278,7l8, and in 1920, by which
time the effects of the great war on
the Capitals population had some
what lessened, it was 437,579. Now
the half-million point is practically
reached, and by 1910, the next census
year, it will doubtless have been passed
This has been a wholesome growth.
With strictly limited boundaries and
the large areas beyond them suitable
for comfortable residence and within
easy range, the tendency in later years
has been toward a spreading of the
population, which has prevented such
dense congestion as exists in some
places. Washington does not aspire
to grow to an unwieldy point. 1t
seeks primarily the best possible
municipal equipment, and to this end
it continues to hope for more lib
eral and equitable expenditure of rev.
enues, at the hands of its legislature.
