Their trip to the market last
Wednesday had been SO sue
cessful that Jane and Mary
decided to explore again. This
time to inspect the types OF
fish available in Washington,
They found, much to their
satisfaction, that the markets
here have the cream Of the
catch, so to speak.
Everything was so clean, and
there were bins Of iridescent fish
with bright, unglazed eyes," said
Jane as if she didn't really ex'
pect it.
"Sure, they get the fish in every
day down at the wharf. They
have them all, tOO-crOakerS, cod,
rocks, Shads. 1t was q thrill and

If Bachelor Girls Visit the Wharf Fish Markets.

Hfor mackerel follows the Gulf
Stream. It starts off the coast
Of the CarolinaS and follows the
schools Of fish northward. At
present best fishing for mackerel
Is off the Jersey coast. The Bos-
ton mackerel is especially fine
and will be on the market until
October.
Croakers are also abundant.
In fact, this seems to be the
month for them. They have
come up the bay in great album
dance and since they are fighters
have frightened out other fish
especially Shad.
After this little survey, I asked
them what they had decided on
for their dinner. It was the old
favorite, rocks. They had pur.
chased only one and were stuffing
it and baking it in their ovenette.
They are using the favorite recipe
sent in by Mrs. @. G. Ellis, Of 81
Longfellow st. N. w. In case you
missed it when it was published,
here are the ingredients, and 1t Is
very good:
Fry about 5 slices of salt pork
until lightly Drowned on both sides.
Remove pork and fry / medium
onion in fat until tender. Mean
while stuff fish, after sailing and
peppering inside and out, with the
following Stuffing:
2 cups of bread crumbs
u teaspoon OF salt
teaspoon Of minced onion
/ teaspoon of mined parsley
l tablespoon of melted butter
combined with a beaten egg
Place in baking dish pouring
water in the pan and place 4
medium potatoes peeled and sliced
around the fish, Pour onions and
fat over this and place bacon
slices on top of fish. Bake in a
moderate oven.
For the left over fish, Mrs. Ellis
suggested this recipe. Jane and
Mary found it most delicious and
insisted that it be added:
FIaked Fish with Sherry
Make rich sauce by melting 2
tablespoons butter, combining
with 2 tablespoons Of flour.
Slowly add / cup Of top milk. Let
come to q boil, add the cup Of
flaked fish, / beaten egg yolk.
Season with dash Of paprika,
tablespoon Of lemon juice, salt and
pepper to taste, tablespoon of
sherry wine. She also adds q
tiny sprinkling Of nutmeg, but, Of
course, that is optional. Serve on
hot toast triangleS.

Beauty
to Clean
The Skin
By DONNA GRACE

Creams, lotions and soap and
water are very satisfactory for
cleansing the face every day. but
even with the best care we find
that every two or three weeks the
skin seems to lack q transparent,
delicate lovliness that cannot b
produced with ordinary cleans
ing.
The face must be exercised
and massaged. First, the muscles
Of the face must be kept young,
and supple, and then. the skin it.

stimulation.
Facial exercises and massage
will prevent O tendency to wrin.
kles and rigidity, but for cleans
ing and stimulating Of the pores
there Ia nothing quite so effective
as q facial pack.
For the normal skin there are
q number Of packs; there are q
few that can be used on any type
of skin but are especially fine for
the oily skins; one Of these is the
egg pack. There are several nice
methods of doing the egg pack:
here Is one Of them:
The first step in every facial
pack is to cleanse the skin well.
Soap and water is the best to use
before an egg pack, but rinse the
soap off very thoroughly and pat
the face dry, then apply the egg
with the fingertips. The white
and yolk must be beaten sep
arately and then poured together
for this facial.
After the face and neck are
completely covered, leave it on to
dry. You may even cover the eye
lids and eyebrows. The egg will be
good shampoo for them.
After 10 or IS minutes, remove
every trace Of the egg with tepid
water and pat dry. This is fol.
lowed by an application Of tissue
cream with the usual massage
movements. II you do not know
them, send for my instructions.
I want to remind you all to
make a special effort to clear your
skin of blemiShes and blackheadS
before you are into the summer
months. It is so easy to do and
takes so little time that you will
find the only effort you make is in
getting started,
I will be glad to send you my

Clothes are designed for the ut

when hair is soggy, when clothes

isn't here yet, but it will be soon,
and smart people are starting to
collect proper wardrobes, to be
ready.
Net and lace are in excellent
fashion favor, which should be
good news to us all. They are
made UP in street styles, with
jackets, or in tailored types, so
that they will look as suitable for
the street as the suits and coats
we formerly wore. Yet they will
be 80 very comfortable!

frauded, in all, about 30 women.
And the talents he displayed In
keeping them apart could readily
have been employed in earning q

DENIES MOTION
 FOR RECEIVER
Property Near Junk Yard Depreciating Claims
 Petitioner

A claim that receiver of rents should be appointed for three pieces of property on Spark street because part of the land was being used as 8 junk-yard, allegedly causing the property to depreciate in value, was denied in superior court today by Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan.
 The motion for the appointment of a receiver of rents was made by Attorney Nathaniel R. Bronson, trustee of the estate of the late Jessie M. BlakeSlee. Attorney Bron- son claimed that the owner of the property, Rose Goldman, allowed her husband to use the premises for piling heaps of scrap metal. The metal, he said, constituted a mem ace, and not only was unsightly but gave off objectionable odors. The Blakeslee estate has mort gage on the property, he said, and it's value was leSSening because of the junk piles existence.
 Attorney Perry Graicerstein, ap- bearing for Mrs. Goldman, contend ed that there was enough security to warrant appointment of receiver of rents unnecessary. The debt on the property, he said, is $1o,150, and he pointed to estimates by local realtors of the property's value. Theodore F. Nuhn said it was worth $9,200, and Daniel T. Harrington, ST., placed a value of $12,0O0 on the property.

Work Proceeds Here Notwithstanding Lack
 Of Promised Funds
ThOfOnghness of Previous Efforts Shown in Small Number Removed in Current ChecI-Up 20 More
 Found With Adequate Money to Carry on

and to date there has been no sign that Waterbury would receive any of the $19,0OO that was supposed to have been allotted to welfare de- partments throughout the state to aid in this work. If small por- tion of this money had been sent to Waterbury the welfare depart ment would have been able to add several members of the staff, thus expediting the work. At the pres- ent time the work is being done by the regular staff and it has been somewhat of a task.
 Facing Problems
 In regard to the checking up on financial status of WPA employees, the investigators have run up against the problem of persons who transfer bank accounts so they will not be taken off relief roles. They have also been faced with a diff ficulty brought about by fluctua- tion in regard to family finances. A case is investigated one week and at that time the family is eligible for relief. The next week some member may secure job and the family will not be eligible for re- lief. If the family is originally listed as a relief group, however, the man stays on the WPA until this item is cleared up.
 Awaiting Work
 Another item announced at de- partment of welfare headquarters this morning shows that there are only 70 cases of persons eligible for releif work who have not been placed as yet listed on the files. In order to expedite matters in con- nection with placement in private industry, member of the local de- partment of welfare is on duty with a car. When a call comes for a man or woman to go to work in some one of the local factories, this person is immediately sent to in- form the person and see to it that he or she reports for work as soon as possible.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-02

Close to 400 persons listed as PWA workers on relief in the city have been reclassified by the mem- berS of the department of welfare staff, 1t was announced this morn ing by Mrs. Margaret Verdon, head of the department. This number seakes in more than half of the plumber to be reclassified. Out of ehis group there have been but 20 persons who have been listed as having sufficient funds and there Sore ineligible to continue as WPA relief employees. It was pointed out that this number is low but that this may be accounted for by the fact that a very accurate check had been made of a persons relief status before he or she was placed on the WPA originally.
 No Extra Funds
 s The reclassificati work has been done by the members of the staff
