Electric Mixers
Add Much To
Any Kitchen

In looking over advertisements
in some magazines several years
old, it was amazing to note the
changes that have taken place in
household "gadgets." One of the
most remarkable features a b GU t
these new changes is the vast diff
ference in price. One would nat
urally think that with improve
ments such as have been made,
that the price would shoot sky
high but quite the contrary.
Several magazines printed in
1928 advertised electric beaters,
they did nothing but beat and cost
twenty dollars. Well, at that time
they were new, up to the minute
and the desire of every enterpris-
ing housewife. Today, there are
few women who would consider
this beater luxury. "My good
ness!" they would say, at does
nothing but beat" 'look what we
can get today for so much less"
And again how true, in fact too,
too true. If our present day cleo
trio mixers could only read reci-
pes the housewife would find her
self without a job (if such it beg.
There really isn't much they can't
do, and when it comes to improv-
ing smooth texture Of cakes and
lumpy mashed potatoes, need any
thing be said
However, with all the good fea-
lures of electric mixers, there are
many women who claim to find
them difficult and BOTHER" One
friend of ours boosted of her at
tractive mixer but just didn't use
it. Now that was hard to under
stand so an investigation was ar
ranged and oh me! no wonder she
didn't use it, this daintily tinted,
wonder worker was buried way at
the bottom of everything, else in
a closet where it would require as
much time to release it from pan
handles as it would to do the work
by hand.
Tie moral of all this is, Gown
one of these time and work saw
ers and keep it in view" They
are attractive and in no way dis
tract from the appearance of the
kitchen. They can be purchased
in harmonizing colors to match or
contrast with the tile or paint and
lend such an air of "good cookery"
ito a kitchen.

Fruit Accomplishments
For Meat Dishes

Fruit accomplishments with a
meat course are most fattering to
the taste and exceptionally fatter-
ing to the judgment of the host
ess. Praise be to her who realizes
the value of choice accompani-
ments and uses them accordingly.
One fine way of serving fruit
accompaniment is in the form of
fritters which are most pleasing
to the men folk. Men seem to like
something fried with their meals.
AS a side dish sometime soon,
try these "Peach Fritters" and see
if the faces around the table don't
fairly "beam." These are m d e
as follows: Sift together one and
one half cups of flour, two tea
spoons of baking powder and one
fourth teaspoon salt. Beat one
egg, add one half cup of milk,
and stir into the dry ingredients,
a little at a time to avoid lump
ing. Drain carefully the fruit
from a quart can of preserved
peaches; cut into small pieces; add
to the batter. Take up by table
spoonfuls and drop into hot fat
and fry until a golden brown.
Drain on unglazed brown p per
and if desired, sprinkle with pow
dered sugar.

ScallOps Add Test
To Fish Day

1t is just such a dish as this
that makes 'fish day" something
to look forward to. Unlike so
many attractive and delicious dish
es, this one is simple to prepare,
requires little time and less ener-
gy and almost before you can say
"Jack Robinson" there it is, all
ready for the table.
We will call the dish Baked
Scallops" and the preparation goes
as follows: Put a layer Of scallops
in a buttered baking dish, dust
the scallops with salt and pepper
and dredge them with flour. Cover
the scallops with a layer of sliced
mushrooms which have been sau-
teed lightly in butter; alternate
layers of scallops and mushrooms
until the dish is filled, having a
layer of scallops on top. Add
enough cream to moisten the mix
ture; cover the whole with layer
of grated cheese. Arrange strips
of pimento lattice fashion above
the cheese and bake in a hot oven
twelve minutes. Garnish with sau-
teed mushroom caps.

CARVING HAM

While it isn't the usual custom
to carve a whole ham at the table,
there may be an occasion when the
carver is faced with that task and
it's well to know how to go about
it.
The method to follow is m c h
like that in carving a leg of lamb.
The ham is placed on the platter
with the fat side up. Make the
first incision at the large end with
the knife just ahead of the aitch
bone. The slices of ham should
be thinner than those of lamb. Cut
several slices, then run the knife
along the bone to release the slices.
These center slices are the most
desirable and the carver's prob
lem is to get as many even and
attractive center slices as posi-
BILE, serving these and leaving the
shank and butt ends to be utilized
later in the various leftover dish
es to which they are suited.
When the best slices of one half
Of the ham have been served, turn
the meat over and carve the other
side in the same way.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1936-10-22
The Gentle Art Of Carving

When half ham is to be carved,
it should be placed on the platter
with the fat side up and the open
face to the right. Insert the fork
in the center of the ham, through
the fat, and cut the slices across
the face of the ham. When sew
eral slices have been cut, place the
knife at right angles to the meat
and cut through the slices to re-
lease them. Lay the slices on the
platter and continue carving. The
ham may be turned and the under
part sliced in the same way.
In carving any meat, remember
that no carver can do his best with
dull knife. Use a good knife,
freshly sharpened before it is plac-
ed on the table, and a fork to
match.
If a carving board is not used,
the platter should be large enough
to hold the slices as well as the
uncut portion of the roast, or a
plate should be at hand for the
slices.
Skill and neatness come with
practice, and knowledge of the
anatomy of the cut is desirable.
The art of carving is one we'll
worth acquiring. With little
care and attention, the accomplish
ment is yours.

New England Election
Day Is Gala Day
Tradition Carried On With Election Day
! Cake
By,SIDNEY SNOW

These are the days when, all
over New England, the old time
popcorn Yankee families are or
ganizing to bake the Election Day
Cake. a6ln
Election Days are not only,seri.
Gus days when every voter loves
it to his community and TO- his
family and to himself to go to
the polls-they are holidays as
well. Election Days are grand
days for visiting. Much as the
Highlander likes his own home and
little as he needs the homes of
his friends, on Election Day, the
families troop out and 60 visiting.
Into the towns they come to-day
as they did generations ago. And
the town people get ready. Many
a thrifty and frugal New England
er who entertained city cousins
during the summer season, figures
that this is good time to collect
just desserts and so the city cou-
sins find their visits returned.
And so, throughout countless
years, New England folks have
baked their Election Day Cakes.
From Miss Edith Harrison Of An
cram, New York comes this recipe

Hubbard Squashes
Reward Walters

One of the finest things about
a great big Hubbard squash is
the anticipation it provides. For
weeks, now, We have been passing
a certain patch, watching family
OF these squashes putter along to
maturity. AS we write this, we
can start to do little chop lick
ing (whatever chop licking may
be) because there is promise Of
frost in the air, and once the Hub
bard squash, be it big or little, has
had taste Of frost, it is ready to
be good. It will almost walk into
the kitchen and say: "O-kay, I've
had enough. I'm all set now to
make you grand meal!"
That will be the time to pop it
into the oven, bake it into nice
morsels and maybe make half of
it into grand pie, or have it
fried.
FRIED HUBBARD SQUASH
Remove the hard skin with a
heavy knife. Cut the squash in
half, take out the seeds. Then
cut in strips an inch and a half
wide and three inches long. Steam
until two-thirds done; take out
and set aside to cool. Season. roll
in flour and fry slowly in butter.
The squash can also be dipped in
batter and fried like fritters.
BAKED HUBBARD SQUASH
Wash and scrub the outside very
clean, cut in pieces about three
inches square, leaving the skin on.
Arrange the pieces on a baking
pan, season with salt and white
pepper. Put piece of butter on
each slice and bake in a slow oven
until soft. When done sprinkle
with brown sugar and return to
the oven until the sugar is melted.

Tourney
BY MICHAEL J. FOSTER

SEABRIGHT, N. j., July 20.
Completely disregarded by the ex.
pertS when the tournament got
under way two days ago, Sidney
Wood, youthful veteran of almost
a decade of International tennis
warfare, found himself the critics
darling today as the pickers
scanned the lineup of the Sea-
bright quarterfinals for the name
most likely to be inscribed next on
the historic mems singles bowl.
A combination Of unforeseen cir.
cumstances had served to place
the flaxen.haired Forest Hills star,
operated on for appendicitis a few
months ago, in the position Of
favorite not only to capture the
1886 laurels, but also to become
the second netman in the history
of the local classic to retire q
singles trophy.
Events Leading Up
First there was the injury to
Wilmer Allison which removed
from the tournament the man
who had trimmed Sidney in
straight sets in last years Forest
Hills final.
Then Donald Bulge, rated the
best tennis player in the country,
decided to take things easy this
week and next, combining himself
to doubles play here and abjuring
all activity next week. Hopeful Of
beating both Fred Perry and Colt.
fried Won Cramm to the national
championship the California red
head passed up such comparative
smallfry as the Seabright laurelS.
Finally, Bobby Riggs, Penfant
terrible Of the current season, was
removed from Woods path to q
third leg on, and permanent po-
sition of the coveted singles trophy
by bespectacled John McDiarmid,
professor of politics at Princeton
University. Even the august gen.
tlemen who run the tournament
had thought well enough Of the
18.year-old's chances to seed him
ahead of Sidney.
The Road Ahead
Now only Frankie Parker, en-
countered this afternoon; Nc
Diarmid or Barney Welsh in the
semifinals, and probably Greg
Mangin, the defending title
holder, or Hal Surface, in the
finals, remain to be beaten if

but instead of their hurting me.
my swimming has steadily i'm
proved.
I believe most athletes have for
gotten how to relax, and therefore
they go stale. For example, in
swimming, Jack Medica won every
free style event he entered in the
national championships in Chi.
cago last April. Trailing him was
Ralph Flanagan.
This year it's the other way
around.
Personally, I believe that Jack
didn't allow himself to relax, and
if he had permitted himself few
weeks of normal living, or just a
few dances or glasses of beer or
champagne now and then, he'd
be tops now.
Rivals Relax, Too
I had dinner at one of Berlin'S
hot spots last night, and I noticed
many foreign athletics there, prov
ing they, too, do not believe in
the principle Of no relaxation.
I have received many honors in
the last seven years, but the one
touching me most, and which I
shall always cherish, came as the
result of my censorship by the
olympic committee.
Mrs. Ryan, mother Of little Pa
tricia Ryan, the youngest member
of the swimming team, with whom
played aboard ship, went to
Chairman Avery Brundage and
protested against the committees
ruling.
She said her best estimate Of
my character was that Patricia
looked up to me as her ideal.
That is about the sweetest thing
that ever happened to me.

boxing executives findings back to
the Brundage committee.
So quietly was the matter
handled that not even Brundage
knew about it until this morning,
when he checked a report with
village officials over the telephone.
He said:
"There are specific rules laid
down for athletes conduct.
When these are violated, the
team committee may take what
ever action it sees fit, without
consulting us.
ut seems to have taken the
proper action in this case. am
not prepared to say why Church
and King were dropped, but I
consider the boxing committees
action justified, in the light of
what I heard"
The boxing committee respon-
sible for the decision is composed
Of Manager Davis, Assistant Man
ager Lewis Bloom of Cleveland,
Coach John Behr Of Wilmette,
ILL.,, and Assistant Coach Fred
Caserio Of Chicago.
Kara Alone Left
Their meeting was held so un-
ostentatiously last night that few
knew about it, there being only
faint rumors around the Olympic
village about some kind Of pend
ing action, without even details
as to the team involved.
With Church, who won the
American tryoutS In the feather
weight class, now out, Theodore
Kara of Cleveland is left as the
only American in this division.

welterweight tryouts, places Ches.

Church and King, however, had
not clinched their places at the

team, as boxing SubStitutions are
allowed any time up to the
weighing-in ceremony.
Now Kara and Rutecki must
escape injury and make their
weight, or America will be without
representatives in the two classes.
Only Few Misbehave
Commenting on the two new
diSmisSalS, Head Coach Lawson
Robertson of the track team said:
"The American team is so big
that it is cumbersome and un-
wieldy.
'The great majority are be-
having commercially, but with
almost 400 athletes around, we
are bound to get some who mis-
represent the country"
