RUT in the midst of this wearisome
process has come a newer con-
ception in government. Men, speak
ing of the New Deal, have called it the
Public Works Administration. Under
it the amount needed to complete a
job at once was estimated and the
whole sum allocated, enabling the
work to proceed expeditiously and
economically. 1t was so in the case of
the widening of Constitution avenue,
in the midst of the debate as to
whether it should be y or 30 feet in
width The whole sum to widen 1t
from Virginia avenue to the Potomac
River was made available out of Sec

job, under discussion for years because
of the chipping off Of pieces of stone

lively short span.
But there's a barrel-full of things
yet to be done.
Back in 1912 Congress made It's first
appropriation for the development Of
Anacostia Park out of the rnarshlands
along that river within the District.
So far $3,435.6i5 have been spent,
representing about SO per cent of the
project. The whole job is estimated to
cost $4,275,000. Last year l.c00 Civil
Works Administration men were en-
ployed at hand labor there under di-
rection of the q. s. Engineer Office.
But Congress failed to make any funds
available for its development in the
fiscal years 1888, 1884 and 1885. Now
Congress has Just made $4,000 ready
for this years work, mainly building
seawalls.
The sad part Of it is that after
spending millions upon this develop

salvaged for use in Anacostia Park.
DR.. Charles Moore, chairman Of the
Fine Arts Commission, believes that
there are a number of things in
Washington that need to be COM
pleted. He is no advocate of hasty
action, for he truly wants to see
washington become the city beautiful.
Washington can afford to wait until
it has evolved the best plan possible
for its adornment. but after this has
been done he would like to see action.
Time is not of essence of the
contract" DR.. Moore explains it in
advising against compromising and
ill-considered plans for the city.
First comes the impulse to do;
then the plan, then the reaction, and,
If the plans good one, it is begun" /"
says he. The thing to do is to see
that it goes steadily on"
pRIME on the list of things that
should be done here DR.. Moore
places "the completion of the central
composition fully" This involves the
completion of the Mall from the
Washington Monument to the Capt.
toll, and especially the development
of Union Square, he explains. For
"a years, in his estimation, this has
been a clog in the Washington de-
velopment. This viii make the cen
trail area of the city what L'Enfant
wanted it to be-the head of the Mall
and the approach to the Capitol from
the west. One road will go toward
the House and the other to the
Senate from Union Square. The
park authorities have made start
upon this development, with tree
shifting and cutting and the general
cleaning up of the area. P. w. A.
funds have made this possible, even
to the placing of boxwood around the
Grant memorial.
The head of the Fine Arts Com
mission believes that with profit to
the tidiness Of the city the little
triangles between the Archives Build
ing and the Capitol. now surrounded
by broken-down fences and grown up
With weeds, could be made into strips

trees immediately, he says. This is
one of the most important parts of
the city. but lacks proper treatment.
The Great Plaza, bounded by the
Department of Commerce, the Dis
trict Building, the new Post Office
Building and the Labor-I. c. c. Build
ing, is now filled with automobiles
parked. Plans should be made for
finishing this up, in the doctors opin-
ion. He sees little reason why this
should not go on to completion. The
Strauss Memorial Fountain is to go in
there, honoring the former Secretary
of Commerce and Labor. and the
sponsors of this enterprise have the
funds in hand and are but waiting
for the grading and planting of the
Plaza.
Completion of the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge development should be
pushed, the Fine Arts Commission
chairman declares. The Sculptural
designs created for the Washington
bridgehead and the Rock Creek and
Potomac Parkway approach will come
along shortly. This. he points out,
will "give the area an elegance that
Is lacking now"
The completion of the Rock Greek
and Potomac Parkway up the valley
is going ahead now and this will
give a new access to the country, 60
ing up into Maryland. Columbia
Island is to be graded by the Civilian
Conservation Corps and there will be
d cross axis to the bridge. Soon the
planting will be in between the bridge
and Arlington National Cemetery,
with rows of white oaks on either
side and later holly hedge. The
Fine Arts Commission proposes that
the Experimental Farm of the De-
partment of Agriculture shall be
moved from the shadow of the ceme-
terry to Beltsville, Nd, where there
are some 5000 acres. The money
has been ailocated for the building
of q riverside driveway from the
Arlington to the Key Bridges, but
there will still be the incomplete
plans to have q road constructed on
up to Great Falls. Then, under the
Capper -Cramton park purchase act,
q lot of property remains to be pur-
chased, both on the Virginia and
Maryland sides of the Potomac River,
for the George Washington Memorial
Parkway. and even when this is done,
the road construction will remain.
The parkway will run southwark from
Great Falls to Fort Washington, Md,
and to Mount Vernon. Va.

Apples

Apples
The quality of an apple, whatever
the variety, depends not only on how
it is grown, but upon how it is han
died after it comes off the tree
the packing, storing and shipping con-
ditions. For cooking, however, the
choice depends not only upon the
general quality of the apple but upon
the variety, the way in which it is to
be used, and the method of cooking.
And here again, tastes and opinions
differ.
There are more ways of using ap-
pies than any other fruit we have.
You can stew them, make them into
sauce, bake them, or put them in
pie. You can scallop them, alone or
with sweet potatoes, or with cabbage.
You can fry them, alone, or with ba-
con, or carrots, or onions. You can
make beautiful jellied apple rings
to serve with roast meat or chops.
You can use them in salads, or cook
them with red sweet-sour cabbage.
Apples, however, if they are to be
good, must be properly cooked-which
means, cooking them with as little
water as possible and not too long,
then seasoning mildly, in order not to
cover up the apples own flavor. For
stewed apples at their best, use apples
that hold their shape, cut them in
sections or slices and cook them in
strip until the pieces are clear but
whole. Apple sauce, on the other hand,
is best made of apples which do cook
up easily. Add very little water to
the apples and cook them, in their own
steam, in a covered pan, for only a
very short time, or they will turn
dark. Sweeten the sauce after cook
ing, but while still hot, and add few
grains of salt. If the apples are not
peeled or cored before cooking, put
the sauce through colander. Apple
sauce tarts are something nice for
dessert.

ALWAYS OPEN SEASON FOR
DISEASE-PRODUCING GERM
Never Is Any Let-up In Work Of
archaeological Laboratories

at is always the open season for
disease-producing germs of some sort,
consequently there is never any let-up
in the work of the archaeological labo-
ratories of the State Department of
Health" DIR. r. H. Riley, Director OF
the State Department of Health said
recently in commenting upon the vol
ume and variety of the work carried on
by the central and the branch labora-
tories.
"The laboratories are at the service,
at all times, of the practicing physl-
clans in the counties, as aids in the dl-
agnosis of disease. They are in opera
ton day and night, and every day in
the year. They are so situated That
they form a network covering the en-
tire State. The central laboratory is at
the headquarters of the Department IN
Baltimore City; the laboratory for the
Eastern Shore is at Hurlock and, the
other branch laboratories are at Cum
berland, Hagerstown, Frederick and
Rockville.
"From ten to twelve thousand tests
are made in the six laboratories each
month, or a total of over 100000 dur
ing the year. Over eight thousand are
made every month for the physicians in
the counties and the rest are concerned
with milk. oysters or other foods, or
water. Last month, out of total of
over $4,000 tests, over $500 were made
for physicians as aids in the diagnosis
of diseases, such as diphtheria, ty-
phoid fever, tuberculosis, undulant fe-
yer, tularemia, tick-bite fever, the We
nereal diseases and other commuunica-
BILE diseases, and over $500 in the ex-
animation of milk, oysters, other foods
and water.
physicians who avail themselves Of
the services of the Bureau of Bacterlol-
ogy either take or send the specimens
or other material submitted for examl-
nation to the nearest laboratory. Con-
tainers for the specimens, with in
structions as to their use, are supplied
to the doctors, free of charge. A re-
port of the laboratory findings is sent
to the doctor by telephone or mail as
soon as the tests are completed. A du-
plicate copy of the report is sent at
the same time to the county health Off
GER.
"Physicians who are interested in
familiarizing themselves with the new
er methods of examining specimens of
blood, sputum, swabs from the nose or
throat, or other specimens for the or
ganisms that produce typhoid or other
fevers, diphtheria, tuberculosis, or
other communicable diseases, are al
ways welcomed at the laboratories.
Demonstrations of such procedures are
also made on the invitation of the
county medical societies to groups of
doctors in connection with the meet
ings of the local medical societies, by
DIR. C. A. Perry, chief of the Bureau of
Bacteriology.
"There are about 800 physicians
practicing in the counties and the
number who make use of the labora-
tories has increased steadily, year by
year. No charge is made for the exami-
nations"

HAUPTMANN IN
 NERVOUS MOOD
Pretended to Be Asleep Last Night as Convict
 Went to Death

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 31.-CUP)- Bruno Richard Hauptmann, who has watched five men pass his cell en route to the electric chair, dis played either his first open fear or colossal nerve last night when the sixth of his death house compan- ions walked the last mile. With his own death next on the prison Schedule-hardly two weeks away unless something akin to a miracle saves him-Hauptmann slept, or pretended to sleep, while Romaine Johnson, 34-year-old negro, went by his cell to death.
 Final Good Eyes
 Prison officials said Hauptmann lay on his bunk with his chest ris- ing and falling in at least a simu- lation of peaceful sleep while John- son stopped before his cell, said, Goodbye, Hauptmann," and shuf- fled on to the death chamber be- hind . minister and between two guards. Jacob Cimiengo, 16-year-old boy awaiting execution for murder U1 8 4dIulCIS Cd4AC0 O AJOtCAAIdi Goodbye, old boy" when Johnson disappeared down the corridor, but even that did not arouse Haupt- mann.
 Hauptmann Nervous
 Mark O. Kimberling, prison prip- cipal keeper, refused to say whether he thought Hauptmann was sleep- ing or merely turning his face from the last execution before his own but he said the condemned Lind- bergh baby killer seemed a little nervous in the afternoon" Haupt- naann's nervousness might have come from knowledge that the state court of pardons, virtually his orl! hope, met and adjourned yesterday without setting a date for hearing his appeal for mercy and that its eight members seemed opposed te granting him a personal hearing.

forth when primaries are held and opposing factions wish to enter the field they must share the cost of setting up booths, printing ballots, and supplying attendants at the various voting places. The cost will be $25 for each voting district.
 In other words, if a contest is located in one or two wards the cost will be pro rata according to the number of districts in the wards in question. If the primary battle is citywide the opposing group will have to turn in $500 as there are 20 voting districts in the city. If the primary is confined to one sensa- torial istrict the charge will be $25 for each voting district within the senatorial district.
 In the past the town committee has had to bear the expense of setting up booths and supplying at- tendants when primaries were held Now both sides will have to share the expense.
 The committee, after its election adjourned subject to- the call oi Town Chairman Crary. The town convention adjourned permanently The town committee will meet early in January to re-elect its present officers. At the election of the of ficers Mayor Frank Hayes ano Controller Daniel J.
