Sister Mary's Menu.
BY MARY Z. DAGUE


CPRING Is the time to try new
y food-maybe avocados II you
never have. In salad or fruit cup,
they will add. a note OF grateful
novelty for the blase season.
In Florida the avocado is known
as alligator pear or midshipman's
butter. In California they call il
calayo By any name. it is still
rich in fat and vitamins A, B, D,
E and G, not to speak Of calcium,
iron. phosphorus and assorted
minerals.
When the thick-skinned flesh
yields to. a slight pressure. much
as. an apple does when we test for
mellowness.. avocados are ready to
eat. The flesh then Is as smooth
and tender. as baked custard.
Stuff Tomatoes With Them
A first course for luncheon or
dinner might be tomatoes and
avocados in combination with crab
fakes. Choose small. perfectly
ripe and unblemished tomatoes
one for each person to be served
Scald and dip at once into cold
water and peel. Scoop out seeds
and chill in we'll seasoned
French dressing for an hour
Drain and fill with equal parts Of
finely diced avocado and crab
fakes generously sprinkled with
lemon juice. Lime juice can be
substituted for lunch il convent
ent.
The alligator pear combines
we'll with any citrus fruit and
forms the base Of many piquant
cocktails. An acid is used to bring
out the rich flavor. A simple avo.
cado cocktail Is made by dicing
the fruit, sprinkling with salt and
a few grains Of white peppers and
pouring over sauce made Of to-
mato catsup and lime juice. This
must, OF course, be very cold.
Avocado and grapefruit pulp Is
delicious either as an appetizer or
salad. Marinate the grapefruit

"disillusioned" with courts.
Formerly q high-paid corporation
lawyer, Harris said:
II took this Job out Of a sense of
adventure and q desire to work with
people rather than papers. I felt that
I could do q little good and that this
would be q sort Of genteel retirement.
II find that the job was neither
genteel nor retirement. It has been

OF 1t all Is q cynical philosophy, which
Is not philosophy at oil, but rather

Bic SLASH FACED
IN D. c. BUDGET
$18,M0,0 900 Reduction in
Estimates Held Necessary
by Donovan.
BY DON 6. WARREN.

At the outset of public hearings
today on the proposed estimates of
District departments for the next fis-
cal year, Budget Oficer Daniel j.
Donovan stressed the financial plight
facing the District by showing that
nearly $18, 1000, 900 must be sliced from
the estimates chargeable to general
fund revenues if the budget was to be
balanced.
He showed further that unless the
Federal payment to the Capital is
raised above the $4,000, 900 granted
for this year. present operation costs
will exceed by s1,877 900 the total ex-
pected general revenue fund for next
year.
This would mean" ne said, ''that
instead OF having even one dollar for
Capital improvements. the District
would have to raise nearly $4,000, 900
more to cover operation costs"
Specter of Tax Increase.
The statement definitely raised the
specter of increased taxes in the minds
Of those attending the hearing, since
the Commissioners have indicated they
believe many of the proposed increases
in appropriations are needed.
Early In the hearing a demand that
estimates be slashed to "fit the cloth
Of expected revenues" was made by the
Washington Taxpayers Association.
The group also urged the Commission
ers to launch q determined drive for
collection of personal property taxes,
charging delinquency in present COL
lection efforts in this field.
The association insisted direct re-
lief be halted summarily at the end
of this fiscal year, charging use of
money for relief was "wasteful," and
proposed the Police and Fire Depart
ment retirement systems be placed on
an actuarial basis in the interest of
savings.
Commissioner Hazen, who opened
the hearing, which was broadcast over
WJSV, voiced the reminder the Com
missioners will not know for some time
what recommendation as to the Federal
payment will be made by the COM
mission named recently by President
Roosevelt to study that problem.
Under the circumstances" Hazen
said, this appears to be a case Of re-
ducing the estimates. If we granted
all the requests, there would have to be
increased taxes"
Deficit Estimate Raised.
Donovan's report showed he had
found it necessary to raise his estimate
Of the deficit expected at the end of
this year from $4,000 to $1,400,O 900,
or by nearly $500, 900. He had counted
heavily on collection of delinquent
taxes, but found progress during the
past year forced a reduction in his
calculations Of such collections.
The Taxpayers Association, through
its secretary, Rufus s. Lusk, took q
slap at the Office of Tax Collector
Chatham M. Towers while demand
ing economies in the hope of avoid
ing increased taxes.
I'VE suggest that the collectors Of
flee live up to its name" he said. "At
the present time, it is q little diff
ferent from a receiving teller in a
bank. It Is a receiving Office, not a
collecting Office. The average busi-
ness man doing a credit business
would starve to death If he used our
present methods of collecting over
due personal taxes.

212 ARE SAVED
IN SEA COLLISION
159 Passengers and So of
Ships Crew Taken
Aboard Liner.
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, September 10.-The spec
tacular rescue of 159 pleasure-bent
passengers and SO crewsmen whose ex-
cursion boat sank into fog-shrouded
Boston Harbor brought praise for cool
seamanship today-and at the same
time an investigation by the Federal
Steamboat Inspection Service.
The steamer Romance, returning
from trip to Cape Cod, sank 20 min
utes after a collision with the Man
haitian bound liner New York tore a
hole in her port side last night.
In those 20 minutes was enacted
one of the most stirring dramas of this
historic harbor.
To many it seemed that major sea
catastrophe was averted-only day
after the second anniversary of the
Moro Castle tragedy.
A bridge of ladders was thrown from
the liner New York to the Romance.
Across it went a majority of the ex-
cursion boats passengers. Others were
saved by five lifeboats lowered by the
New York.
While the passengers and crew of
the Romance scrambled to safety the
New York kept her PROV jammed into
the side of the other craft.
A moment after Capt. Adelbert c.
Wickens left the Romance the ship
plunged under the waves bow first,
her whistle moaning Today only the
top Of her superstructure remained
above water.
One woman lost her footing on the
ladders and fell into the wreckage be-
tween the two vessels. Some one pulled
her to safety.
Capt. Wickens himself nearly
drowned. Chief Engineer Joseph john
son said Wickens was on a life raft.
Another raft slid of the Romance on
top of him. Wickens and a sailor went
under, but escaped with a soaking.
Five persons were taken to hospitals
A few others reported minor injuries.
I'VE can thank the perfect discipline
of the Romance's crew that we are
alive today" said Tolbert Mckay of
Milton, Mass, an experienced yachts
man.
You can't give too much credit to
the crews of both ships for their cool,
fast work in saving the Romance's
passengers"
Others of the rescued echoed his
statement.
Takes Rescued to Boston.
The New York turned back to Bos-
ton with the rescued. Her own pas
sengers were put aboard train for
New York.

but am delighted and thrilled with
it. It was a grand trip"
Honored by Indians.
Leaving a picnic lunch in the midst
of a thunder storm atop Clingman's
Dome, 5000 feet above sea level, the
President crossed into North Caro-
lima by way of a Cherokee Indian
reservation, where he was inducted
into the tribe.
Chief Jerry Blythe, wrinkled Red
Skin, placed q crown of brown turkey
feathers, tipped with red, on the
Presidents head and called him
Chief White Eagle"
After questioning the Indian about
the number in the tribe and the
makeup of his new headgear, the
President squinted through q long
blow gun handed him by Blythe-a
io-foot bamboo pole through which
the Cherokees blow feathered darts.
"Well, this is. very, very interest
ing" Mr.. Roosevelt remarked.
A few miles away, at the Lake
Junaluska Summer home Of Josephus
Daniels, Ambassador to Mexico,
