Marylanders' Bill
For Autos Exceeds
Half of Food Costs
In Some Counties They
Spend More in Garages
Than for Groceries.
BY the Associated Press.

bs the Associated kress.
BALTIMORE, December 26.--If the
citizens in at least a dozen Maryland
counties found themselves going
hungry In l935-they might have
looked in their garages and found one
Of the reasons.
Last year, Marylanders spent-for
automobiles, trucks, gas, oil and auto
motive accessories-moret than half aS
much as they spent in food stores.
Retail sales figures compiled by the
Bureau Of Census indicated today that
q total of $l26,075, 900 was spent In
food stores within the State, as COM
pared with $82,946,000 expended In
automotive stores and filling stations.
The tabulations show the buying
public In II of the % counties spent
more on their automobiles than they
did in food stores-excluding the
amounts spent in general stores In
which food Is handled.
Eleven counties and Baltimore City
swung the pendulum toward their
stomachs, the balance Of money spent
running in favor of food stores
sometimes, however, by narrow mar.
gins.
Baltimore city's statistics were the
deciding factor. Baltimoreans, the
1885 figures indicated, dug into their
pocketbooks deeply and spent $79.-
735, 900 in food stores. On automobiles
and equipment, their years expenses
totaled $42, 2,273,000.
In certain of the counties, however.
the margin was definitely in favor Of
automobiles. Wicomico County showed
expenditures totaling 81 ,465. 900 in food
stores. as compared with $1.877. 900 ex-
pended on automobiles. trucks. gas. oil
and acceasor1aa.

Senate Snuff Boxes Refilled
Ready for Rainy Days Rusl,

ago that snuff helps ward of Senator
ial colds and clears the head for de-
bate. A certain clique has followed
the custom ever since.
Inspection shows that match boxes
Lie near each snuff depository. It
may be a coincidence, but from the
galleries it's a sharp eye that can tell
which the Senator is reaching for
snuff or matches.
Historians have it that the matches
were introduced as spectator decoys
after a pre-Civil War Western Demo-
crat had newsman expelled for
writing q detailed account of his SNUFF
dipping.
Now attendants watch over them
like hawks. The snuff consumption
Is about four ounces every two weeks

CTS, but I personally do not ap. prove of children eating the cones. Tn tho first place, the cones are handled by the attendant At the fec cream counter. The childrefl's own little hands are more or less griny by the time they reach the confectionery of drug store where they con buy the cones. When they go out onto the street, the cones are catch.alls for dust and germs in the air.
 Only recently I saw . thoughtless young mother training her baby in the bad habit of eating ice cream on the street. She had bought 6 strawberry Ice cream cone and As she walked along the street she dipped the ice cream out of the cone with her own fingers and put it into the baby's mouth. Needless to say this young mother was not only training him in bad habits, but she was jeopardizIng his health. Let the children buy their cones, but teach them to regard them aS containers.
 Today almost every drug store or confectioner's shop carries good, wholesome fec cream which Is cares fully made according to rigid stand. ards by trustworthy Tilonufactur" CTS. But 1t is always intriguing to make frozen daintIes ct home. Here is q good recipe for grape juice ice cream =. . recipe which iS quite inexpensive: -
 Grape Juice Ice Cream
 Separate the whites from the yoiks of two eggs; beat the yolks together with Q half cup of sugar until very light. Fold in the beaten whites of the eggs. Heat together one and one-fourth cups of milk and one-half cup cream (but do not boil ther1); pour gradually over tho eggs, beating oil the while. When cool, add one-half cup Of grape juice and freeze.

Pleasing The Man
BY CHLOE JAMESON

When they speak iii terms Of feminine fashions, we acknowledge readily the appeal that beauty and ginartness make to mans eye. The lure of on attractive table {. l. food selected with Q care for color and nice variation in form and tex. ture mako an equally good impression. 1ndeer, they please him ifl much the same way as does beauty of tho order first mentioned.
 The effective garnlshing of the cold meat plate, for example, iB almost as important c consideration as the selection of the meats theTls selves. For although eiriinently Buit- able and most convenient for gufl1- fSier menus, cold meats which stand alone seem like limp shadows of their sturdler brothers, the cooked meats.
 They need dressing up, 90 to speak; they need elaboration to make them seem like the TnaIn course of Q f1an.sized meal A border of crisp potato straws, or thin, ice.cold wheels of fresh tp- fnata topped with q rosette of may. onnaise and slivorg of gpIced dill pickle will do wonders to bolster Up the cold meat platter. If the gelec. ton is made tip of solid salmon, tuna fish or shrimp, 6 nest of lets tuce with stuffed eggs and c gari1- ish of ripe and gfireen olives or Q mound of finely shredded cole slaw will nicely round it out. Cottage cheese mixed well with cream and seasoned with chives Is also Q good accompaniment.
 These simple garnishes added to the cold meat course will make 1t seem like . feast instead of slim rationS; not one is expensive; all have real food value, and aside from providing the appetizing note, they will make q substantial contribution to the meal.
