Children's Bureau, Department of La
Dor, and now in charge OF applied rec
reation, United States Department. of
Agriculture; Mrs. Emily Newell Blair,

Cold Weather
9MsnuA

Cold winter days throw a double
burden on the planning of the daily
menu, not only due to the more TO-
bust appetites of the entire family but
to fortify bodies against colds, flu,
grippe and the rigors of the weather.
Roasts provide especially nourish-
ing, sustaining dishes for the main
meal of the day. Baked ham, roast
fresh ham, crown roast of lamb, roast
chuck, stuffed shoulder of veal and
baked stuffed spareribs provide Sc
ries of meals that will win the family
applause.
From the hou>ekcepers' standpoint
roasts are satisfying since leftovcrs
can be used to provide number of
attractive dishes. Sliced beef in mus
tard sauce from the remains of roast
makes second appetizing dinner;
then there is veal ranrkins, meat pie,
American chop suey, and any number
of other ideas that clever cooks en-
ploy.
Griddle cakes give little heavier
breakfast, very satisfactory for .Janu-
AIRY mornings. Happily there are an
endless variety, all the way from plain
griddlc cakes through sour milk cakes,
BURBERRY cakes, rice cakes, meat cakes,
bread cakes and on and on.
Soups, too, meet the requirements
of a winter diet. Both chowder and
cream soups satisfy hungry January
appetites. Chowder, by the way, is
properly a stew rather than soup.
Originally made with CLAIMS, although
any kind of fish can be used. The
story goes that a party of French voy-
ayers shipwrecked Oh our eastern
shore, saved some potatoes, onions,
bacon and few tins of sea biscuit

Pike about a half mile north of
Centerville. Camp Lands, was

JOY TO REHOBOTH BATHERs
Atlantic Fisheries Company Install
Disposal Plant-Purer Water

Bathers at Rehoboth Beach and
Lewes are elated over the assur-
ance of clean water at the beach
as a result of negotiations of the
U. S. district engineers at Philadel-
phia and Howard M. Long, Cham
ber of Commerce with the Con-
solidated Fisheries Company and
the Atlantic Fisheries Company
regarding immediate measures to
prevent the condition. Refuse or
gerry" will be teated by a special
disposal plant which will be ready
for service around July. For many
years past batners at Rehoboth
Beach and Lewes have been an
noyed by the pollution of the
beaches and waters from fish scrap
thrown into the Delaware Bay
from the menhaden plants operat-
ing near Cape Henlopen. Despite
repeated warnings from municipal
authorities of both towns, nothing
definite was accomplished toward
the abolishment of the nuisance.

handling of the matter.

INLET PROJECT
LEWES, BEGUN
Waterway From Delaware
Bay to the LeweS-RehO-
both Canal
TO COST OVER 100000

Initial work on the S230,000 in
let project got under way Thurs
day with the arrival of engineers
and a government drill boat, and
the setting up of range lines mark
ing the course of the new water
way fro mDelaware Bay to the
Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, at Lewes.
This inlet, the negotiations for
which were halted many times
since the survey was made in 1882,
was recently put on the list for
priority in engineering work in
that district. The new canal, 500
feet wide, with a depth of six feet
at mean low water, is to substitute
for the present unnavigable water
way four miles west of Lewes,
clogged with sand for the last
quarter of century. OF the $780,
900 allotted for the construction,
$4,000 is to be furnished by the
federal government and 100000 by
Delaware. The project will include
construction of two jetties at the
Delaware Bay mouth of the inlet,
500 feet apart, to be built of sheet
piling. The inlet will extend three
fourths of a mile inland to the
Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, at a point
slightly west of the De Vries mon
ument, on Pilot Town Road. Dur
ing the eighties Lewes was the
seat of a large ship building indus
try which declined when the Oh
canal, once deep enough for navi-
cation by large steamers, began to
fill with sand. In recent years it
has become hazardous for even
small boats to traverse the water
way at low tide, leaving scarcely
less than eight inches of water at
times. Many boats have become
stranded on sand bars between
tides. The town has a large fish,
ing party trade requiring easy ac-
cess to the inlet which is also re-
quired by visiting yachts when it is
necessary for them to seek inland
protection during storms

FINGER PRINT
JOB SEEKERS
Civil Service Commission
Makes All Comply With
United States Rule
CHECK NEW AND OLD

Observation-Disclosures Of more
than 10000 persons seeking govern
ment employment have been for
warded to the federal bureau of
investigation by federal and local
authorities to determine If they had
previous criminal records.
A check through the federal files
revealed that 107 of 4,90S finger
print cards received from the
United States civil service commits
sion were of applicants who had
served penitentiary terms and sought
government Jobs under assumed
names.
In one case an applicants finger
prints were received from the civil
service commission when he was
seeking an appointment as a postal
clerk in 1929. These prints were
later identified as those of an indi-
vidual who was arrested in St
Louis In 1885 on a charge Of vio-
lating the postal laws.
Convicted of Robbery.
In another case, federal agents re-
ceived fingerprint impressions of a
person entering the California state
prison on November 80, 1895, SEN
fenced to serve FIVE years to life for
robbery. The impressions were iden-
tical to those of a person apply
ing for the Post Office department
in 1929.
The police department Of Pasa-
dena, Calf, submitted the finger
print card Of person seeking pis-
tol permit. A check of the files of
the Identification division of the bu-
real revealed that he had been ar
rested in 1926 on a charge of lar
ceny, later arrested and charged
with desertion In st. Paul, Mimi, for
which he received suspended SEN
tence of FIVE years.
When his fingerprints were re-
ceived from Pasadena, he was want
ed at st. Paul as a parole violator.
Federal officials notified the st. Paul
authorities.
Check on New Employees.
Fingerprint cards of GAG applicants,
seeking positions as hotel clerks,
mattresses, caddies and others, were
forwarded to the bureau from
Miami.
A search through the files showed
So of this number had previous
criminal records for such offenses
as violation of the prohibition and
narcotic acts, desertion from the
armed forces, defrauding hotelkeep-
ers, receiving stolen goods, larceny,
assault and highway robbery.
The ingerprint card Of one ap-
plicant, seeking a position as check
er, was found to be Identical with
an individual who had served SEN
tence at the United States indus
trial reformatory at Chlilicothe.
Ohio, for motor theft.
A guest of a Miami Beach hotel
was robbed OF $40 In cash. and
Immediately notified authorities.
Suspicion pointed to an employee
who had left the hotel that day.
He had been fingerprinted and
photographed when he applied for
the position. Police exhibited his
photograph and fngerprints at rail-
road stations, bus lines and other
points of departure. He was appre-
hended the same day.
