 Sweet Potato Sitting Hens
 Buttered Green Peas

 Coffee
 Everybody knows how well mated tomatoes and cucumbers are for salad purposes. Tomato juice and cucumber juice make just as perfect a match in the cocktail for this Easter dinner. In- stead of buying canned tomato juice this time, try putting a can of your favorite whole tomatoes through a sieve. It may seem a little extra work, but it can be done the day before, and you will be delighted by the mellow flavor and rich texture of the juice, with all the good meat of the tomato in it.

Sister Mayy,S Kitchen
By MARY K. DAGUE

With food prices going up, up, up, the housekecper Is more than ever put on her mettle. The way to beat this game, I'm convinced, Is to settle right down to 1t and study the whole situation. First, learn all you can about food values. Next keep up with market reports so that you will know what Is sea- sonable and cheapest. And next. buy in quantity when your grocer has special sales.
 or course. buying perishables in quantity also means that you must learn to prepare the same foodstuffs in many different ways. otherwise. you will bore your fam fly to death. But using your in- genuity Is fun after you get the hang of 1t.
 Canned Foods Economical
 If fresh fruits and vegetables are of inferior quality involving much waste. canned ones can be used with economy and equal sat- isfactlon. Wilted and imperfect fresh products have less food value than those canned in per feet freshness and maturity.
 Quick .'cvisions of market lists and menus often are necessary after you get to market. With this in mind, it's good idea to jot down alternatives on your list.
 Tor economy. not to speak Of loyalty, use the products of your own section as they come into the market. Incl,de one highly fla vored food in each meal and sea- son the others interestingly. Then your family won't care what you .d for them.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 28.-Radio
maestros sang the blues tonight as
they dourly contemplated the swan
song of their theme songs-and some
$4,000 other copyrighted tunes-at
midnight Tuesday.
Tin Pan Alley has been burning the
midnight oil in frantic efforts to bring
forth substitute themes to supplant
the musical trade marks which will be
withdrawn on and after January l
through the secession of eight music
publishing houses from radio royalty
contracts.
The houses are controlled by War
ner Brothers, which resigned this week
from the American Society of Com
posers, Authors and Publishers. This
body collects from the networks all
royalties from the tunes played over
the air and in turn pays the money
out to the publishers and individual
composers.
Royalty Called Inadequate.
The publishers, in resigning, said
the present royalty scale was tnsufh-
cient to compensate for sheet music
revenues lost through too-frequent
airing of the songs on the radio.
Unless the publishers can make in
dividual agreements with radio sta
tions-which appeared unlikely to-
day-the music Of some of Americas
foremost composers Of popular airs
will be banned from the airways.
In vain will radio listeners dial for
some of the music Of George Gersh-
win, Richard Rodgers, Jerome Kern,
Sigmund Romberg and other popular
composers. There will hardly be a
musical show left on Broadway whose
tunes may be broadcast. One of the
few major composers who will escape
radio exile is Irving Berlin, who pub
fishes his own works.
Ray Noble Bewildered.
Some of the band leaders reactions
were as the crash of cymbals over a
kettle drum.
Ray Noble, who holds forth nightly
in Rockefeller Center's rainbow room
was bewildered over not being allowed
to play his theme song, "The Very
Thought of You" He wrote the music
himself. One of the Warner firms did
the publishing.
Paul Whiteman will have to get
along without George Gershwin's
Rhapsody In Blue" work which
the portly orchestra leader did much
to publicize. Whiteman, however, is
waiting with bated breath for the
emergence of a new theme song,
hastily ordered in Tin Pan Alley.

Commissioners.
The changes proposed are that the

that solicitors, in negotiating a loan,
shall be deemed lenders; that one act
Of lending is within the purview Of
the statute, and that the act of lend
ing in exces of the rate of interest Is
declared to be against the public pol
icy Of the District and suits to en-
force such loans, when made. are
prohibited,
One of the difficulties of the exist
ing act, it was pointed out, is the
necessity of securing information of
two or more alleged illegal transac-
tions before prosecution may be had.
BY permitting one act of lending to be
prosecuted the work of the legal OIL
GERS will be lessened and the oppor-
