4 FOREST FIRES
T0BEPR0BED

LANHAM, Nd, April 27.-Fire
marshals of Prince Georges
county today will start an investi-
CATION to determine whether the
four field and forest fires that
broke out last Saturday afternoon
in the Lanham and Huntsville Sec
ton were of incendiary origin.
The fires burned more than 500
acres Of land and endangered a
number of dwellings before they
were subdued by Is volunteer fire
companies with the help Of a de-
tachment Of Conservation Corps
workers from Beltsville.
The fact that four fires broke
out almost simultaneously in that
section when there were notably
few fires in other parts Of the
county have led authorities to be-
lieve they were started deliber-
ately.
The largest fire, between River
Road and Cheverly burned more
than 800 acres before it was
brought under control only a
short distance from the town.
More than so Conservation Corps
boys from the Beltsville camp were
rushed to the scene to prevent the
spread of the fire to the homes.
One hundred acres in a swamp
near Columbia Park, $50 acres
near Huntsville, and a 12-acre
tract at Glen Arden were burned
out.

AWAITED

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, April 27.-More than 10000
Arlington county residents have
failed to make their tax returns
to Commissioner of Revenue
Harry K. Green, Of Arlington
county, according to a statement
made by Mr.. Green today.
Although the tax returns must
be made by June l, only about
half of those assessed have made
their payments, Mr.. Green point
ed out.
Tax-return blanks have been
mailed and distributed from Mr..
Green's office, and arrangements
have been made to meet the tax
payers of the several sections Of
the county at after-office hours to
assist those who cannot get to the
office during regular hours.
Commissioner Green and his as.
SiStantS will be at their offices in
the following localities from Z to

Engine House, Arlington, May IL;
Ballston Drug Store, May Is; Lyon
Park Drug Store, May 10; Fire En-.
CINE House, Virginia Highlands,
May az: Arlington Courthouse,
May 20 and June /.
In clarifying the question as to
who has to make a tax return, Mr.
Green said:
Every person FL years old, re-
siding in Virginia on January l,
must make q tax return either
In person or by agent. The fact
that q person claims some other
State as q residence, or does not
vote in Virginia, does not ex.
empt them from taxation in
this state on tangible personal
property, intangible personal
property and State income tax.
Tangible Property
Tangible property consists Of
automobiles, household furni-
ture, jewelry, machinery and
tools, live stock or any other
property tangible. There are no
exemptions on tangible personal
property in Virginia.
Intangible personal property
consists Of bonds, mortgage
notes. evidence Of debt, money
on deposits In or out Of the
State, and capital employed in
business. The tax on bonds
and mortgages Is 50 cents per
500; on money deposits, 20
cents on the 500, and on
capital employed, IS cents on
the 500.
"A State income tax return
must be made by single per-
sons in Virginia earning as
much as $1,000, and all mar
ried persons earning as much
as $4,000. There is an exemp-
ton Of $4,000. plus $500 for
each dependent allowed mar
ried persons, and an exemp-
ton Of $1,000, plus $500 for
dependents allowed single per-
sons. Exemption from tax
does not excuse . person from
filing . return.
persons receiving their en-
tire income from the Federal
government are not required
to make a State income return.
However, Federal employees
must make a tax return on
tangible and intangible per-
SOnal property"

Variety of Uses Suggested
for Tangy Spring
Vegetable.

The home maker must certainly
know her onions, for this pungent
vegetable stands third among the
truck garden crops of the United
States and is of high food value.
New onions come under the head
of succulent vegetables. AS a source
of vitamins and mineral salts they
rank with the best of the leafy vege-
tables. The dry winter onions diff
fer considerably in their food prop
critics, although they are rich in
mineral constituents and are a
nourishing vegetable. The onion
bulb is a mass of thickened leaves
but the tops are thin leaves full of
the important nutriments found in
such vegetables as spinach, chard
and so forth.
Tops Furnish Vitamin A
The tops of spring onions, being
an excellent source of vitamin A.
should be used rather than thrown
away. Carefully washed, crisped
and shredded, they can be used
with other vegetables to give an
appetizing tang to the mixture.
Minced onion tops combined with
cottage cheese is a good combina-
ton to serve with fish.
The tender spring onions are
much easier to digest than the
strong juiced dry ones and are a.
good raw food for this reason.
When cooked they naturally are
less strong favored than the win
ter varieties and therefore delicate
and inviting cooked vegetables.
Green onions in rich cream
sauce on toast are the best vet
Cook them with two or three inches
OF the green top in boiling sailed
water until tender. Make a rich
cream sauce, using a little of the
cooking water, and pour over onions
arranged on hot toast. If TONED
with poached eggs, this makes an
appetizing main dish for supper or
luncheon. Grated cheese added to
the sauce increases the protein con-
tent. Or sprinkle grated cheese over
onions and sauce on toast and put
into hot oven long enough to melt
the cheese.
Liederkranz- Onion Sandwich
New onions make good sand
wiches, too. Cut the little onions in
thin slices and spread evenly on
thin slices of buttered bread. Sprin-
kle tightly with salt, cover with but
tered bread, trim off crusts and
serve.
Mash a package of Liederkranz
with fork until soft and smooth
Add 2 tablespoons beer and blend
to smooth paste. Fold in 2 table
spoons of finely minced onion,
chives or green tops of young
onions, and spread on buttered rye
bread.
Tomato catsup spread over the
cheese mixture or plain cheese
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-24

without onion is a satisfying sand
wich, too. Garnish these with
stuffed olives.
Serve these sandwiches some
noon when the whole family is at
home for luncheon. Begin with a
clear tomato bouillon and finish
with rhubarb tarts.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-24
Preparing the Pan

Grease your cake pan and line
with paraffin paper before you pour
the cake mixture in if you want the
cake not to stick. Never flour the
bottom of the pan, as it makes for
a tough crust.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-24
Beating in the Air

In making a cake beat the whites
of your eggs stiff and then beat
again with part of the sugar. This
meringue effect insures lighter
cake Of more even texture.

Story of Brave
Woman Recalled

Those who like their anniversaries
CORY will enjoy recalling what Mrs.
Hanna Dustin did up in New Hamp-
shire the night of March 80, 1897
Mrs. Dustin was being held pris-
oner by a dozen redskins in a wig
wan, and she did not like it one bit.
One night she inquired casually of
one of the Indians how it was that
they were able to kill people so
easily. The obliging brave went into
great detail, explaining the exact
spot on the head where a person
should be hit. He also gave her ex-
pert advice on how to scalp.
So that night Mrs. Dustin re-
manned awake while the IL Indians
slept. She, grabbed tomahawk and
went to work.
AS she was about to depart she
realized that her friends back in
Haverhill wouldn't believe she had
killed IL redskins single-handed, so
she took their scalps.

She was a devoted wife, a kind
and loving mother. Until her health
failed, she toiled side by side with
her husband that they might rear
their children comfortably. She was
a mother who prayed with her chill
dren around the family altar and by
the bed side. Her loving care and
unselfish service will always be a
tie binding her loved ones together
on earth and drawing them On to
heaven.
