vegetables will make any meal At for a
king, If it is properly chosen for bal
ance, and well-prepared. The Bureau
Of Home Economics Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, has
this to say on the subject:
ITO prepare a good meal from WELL
chosen materials, means knowing how
to get the best results not only with
each food by itself, but with all of
them together. That last point is i'm
portant. for it involves timing, so that
everything will be cooked to q turn
and ready to serve without having to
stand. It also means making each
food do its bit for variety. We don't
want two creamed vegetables at one
meal, for example, because the white
sauce used for creaming makes them
too much alike in texture and often
obscures the flavor. Nor do we want
two fried foods, because that means
too much fat and too much of the
Drowned flavor. Variety Of texture,
flavor, and color depends on we'll
chosen methods of preparation as well
as upon the raw material.
"A simple menu, easy for the house.
wife to prepare, is usually best, pro-
vided it is well chosen. Suppose, for
example, q dinner from these materi-
ais: Beef, sweet corn, green beans,
tomatoes, lettuce and a fruit; bread,
milk, coffee or tea.
WITH an eye to cost, let us have
Swiss steak. It is a favorite
and it utilizes one of the cheaper cuts
of beef-a fairly thick piece from the
chuck, rump or round. It is made
tender by slow cooking in little
water and under cover, SO that it is
really steamed or braised. Directions
for "swissing" steak, as given by the
Bureau Of Home Economics, are as
follows:
Season the meat with salt and
pepper, sprinkle generously with -four,
and pound thoroughly. The pouHding
helps to make the meat tender and
the flour absorbs the juice. Cut the
steak into individual portions and
brown in suet or other fat in heavy
skillet. Then add water enough to
cover. Partly cover with lid and
simmer for 11a to hours, or until
the meat is tender enough to cut with
a fork. There should be plenty of
good gravy to serve over the meat.
'Of the vegetables for this dinner,
the corn and beans will be cooked,
the others served raw. The roastin
ears, which cannot live up to that
name when prepared in a kitchen,
are Just as good cooked in water
and served on the cob. After all bits
of silk and of shuck have been care
fully taken off, drop the ears of corn
into kettle of boiling water and let
them simmer, uncovered, for to Is
minutes, the longer time for close
or deep-grain ears. But do not cook
too long or the corn will toughen, and
If white corn, it will turn yellow If
the water Is hard.
"If the corn is to be cut off before
serving, one way is to cook it first
on the cob, then with a very sharp
knife cut it off as close as possible,
without getting particles of the cob.
Reheat over hot water and serve. Add
a piece of butter and sprinkle with
salt. For a creamier dish, cut the
grains off the cob before cooking and
cook over hot water, seasoning with
butter, salt and pepper, and perhaps
chopped pepper.

Concerning
Giving of
Present t S
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: My boy of IA
has spent two week ends in the
past month at resort houses of some
Of our neighborS. Both times he took
little, inexpensive presents to their
children, but never anything to the
hostess. Even though several weeks
have gone by, I'm wondering whether
you think it would still be good idea
to send something?
Answer-It is not too late to send
something if you and he would like
to, although it is really not necessary
especially since he did take remem-
brances to the children. But hope
he wrote his bread-and-butter letters
to his hostesses, because they are an
exaction of etiquette which every host
ess expects from well-bred young
person in return for her hospitality.
DEAR MRS. POST-would you be
inclined to say that early in
September was still too early for a
bride and her only attendant to wear
velvet.
Answer-Unless the wedding s to
take place in a very northern latitude
September is rather early for velvet.

RE there any happy marriages?
A man asks this question and

A I'VE tllCLC ally happy ulnAAAo6SS'
n A man asks this question and
II adds: II am 35 years old. I
4 4 have been about a great deal
and have q wide acquaintance, but
among the hundreds of married
couples know I do not know of one
happy marriage. My parents were
not happy together. My married
brothers and sisters are not happy
and it is because, so far as my OBJ
servation goes, marriage brings only
misery that I have not married my
self. Tell me on your word of honor
do you personally know of any happy
marriages."
Yes. I have known of four happy
marriages, marriages in which the
husband and wife loved each other
better as the years went by and grew
closer together, in which they found
their chief Joy in each others COM
panionship, in which there was utter
congeniality and in which they lived
in peace and harmony that was never
broken by an unkind word or harsh
criticism. Four happy marriages out
of the 4,000, 900 marriages that I have
either known of myself or contacted
through this column, isn't much OF
q batting average for matrimony, but
If you will try to count up the num-
ber Of marriages you know among
your friends upon whose happiness
you will bet money, you will not Won
der that divorce is so common. You
will be amazed that it Is so rare.
This leads to the conclusion that
we can no more judge of what makes
for happiness in marriage among peo-
pie than we can what books or food
or plays they will like and proves that
most of our pity over the apparently
mismated Is wasted. When we see
q couple wrangling over every trivial
matter and hurting unforgivable in
suits at each other, we wonder how
they can endure such cat-and-dog
existence together.
So you see there are no standards
for happiness in marriage and no way
by which we can judge whether a
marriage is a success or not. What's
one mans meat Is another mans poi
son. We have all seen husbands per-
fectly devoted to shrews and naggers
and actually mourn them when they
die. And we have seen wives cling to the
men who insulted them by their infi-
ielities and dragged them into the gut
ter by their drunkeuneas and shiftleas-

raised and lowered by hand operated hydraulic jack, and the mechanism proved so mysterious to Hawks he had trouble getting out for a while. L
 In flight, Hawks can lower the seat, thus automatically dropping the top window light to enclose the pilots compartment. When this is done, the plans is completely streamlined, one of the few speed craft, if not the only one, which has been so constructed.
 Built by Hawks
 Designed and built by Hawks himself at Springfield, Mass, Time Flies is believed to have cruising sped of about 330 to $40 miles an hour. That is the speed" said Hawks, "at which it is most eco nomical to operate. But in the first test flights am going to fly at minimum speeds. That's all am interested in now"
 The plane feels very stable on the ground" Hawks said, after landing 1t for the first time. It feels just like transport ship. It has three-degree twist in the wings, and good lateral control.
 q won't open up the throttle for 8 while" he continued, "but when I do, just watch it go, I believe I'll make & try at the record before winter comes, maybe before the end of November"
 Wing Spread of 31 Feet
 Time Flies has Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine capable of developing 1 1,150 horsepower. Hawks said the plane "can handle up to 2,0O0 horse power structurally." It has fuse- lage 22 feet long, and wing spread of 31 feet.
 Special wing flaps permit land- ing speed of 65 to 68 miles an hour. When idling along, Hawks raises the pilots seat an doperates the plane behind windshield" In a speed attempt, however, he said he will lower the seat, thereby lowering the top window light, and fly blind" The ship has retractable landing lights and gear.
 Parachute Use Possible h
 The propeller is Hamilton Standard three bladed, constant speed design, and is 10 feet, 6'inches in diameter.
 The cabin has a side door through which Hawks enters and leaves, If he has to use 8 parachute, a trip control pulls the hinge pins on the door. which drops away leaving an opening.
 Hawks has also developed an au- tomatic pilot. with which he will experiment before a speed attempt is made.
 The ship has two-way radio.

COOLIDGE HOME
 HAS NEW TENANT

Northampton, Mass, Oct. 29- (Ur)-The Massasoit street duplex apartment to which President Calvin Coolidge returned from the White House had new tenant today. Ed- ward G. Twohey, formerly of Law renee and now manager of the Northampton Gas and Electric Lighting companies, was to move in with his wife and small daughter. The apartment has been vacant since August g, when the Misses Lucille and Edna Griffith gave up the Coolidge Memorial Tea House" they had conducted for 10 months.
 More than 2,500 visitors from 39 states signed the register" the sis- ters said, 'but they came out of curiosity rather tta nto buy"
 Sentiment has no connection with his rental of the apartment, Twohey sasd. c

Fight to Finish in That State. Which May Go Either Way-F Forces of Labor Will Be Solid for Roosevelt

Davis Wilson, former democrat and now a republican, insists that he is neutral in this campaign. MT. Roosevelt stands to gain if Phila- delphia city hall ineIuence is not exerted on election day. There are 10000 municipal employees in Phila- delphia and they normally vote as the mayor votes.
 Past Experiences
 Experienced politicians laughed at John J. RaSkob when he direct ed Al Smiths presidential campaign in 1928 and authorized large demo- cratic expenditures in Pennsylvania. Herbert c. Hoover carried the state by almost 100000 votes. In 1892 MT. Hoover squeezed through with a plurality of 157.592 votes. Regis tered democrats still are in the ni- nority in Pennsylvania. But in the past four years democrats have made a registration gain of 737,- 900 compared with the republicans. The registration reflects tremen- dous tide of sentiment and the questions in Pennsylvania are whether it still is flowing and, if so. whether 1t will sweep MT. Roose- welt to victory in this state. Repub- lican campaign committee chair man James H. Duff does not think so.
 We will carry Pennsylvania by 150,000," he told me. "All Smith has a tremendous following in this state. The republicans will get the stay-at-home, Independents who ordinarily don't vote. I am not counting on Philadelphia. They say they will carry 1t by 10000 but I am not counting on that" In Bag For Roosevelt Patrick Pagan, president of the fifth district United Mine Workers of America and chairman of the State Labor Non-Partisan League, said 1t was in the bag for Roose- welt.
 "The President will carry the state by 100000" Pagan reported. we will carry Philadelphia by 25. 900, easy. The workers are for Roosevelt. The Negroes are for Roosevelt. There isn't central la- bor union in the state that hasn't endorsed him. The state federal tion of labor has 360,000 votes here and that doesn't include the 19 railway union organizations"
 Other pro-Roosevelt sources con- sidered Fagan's figures high.

MOTHER. CHILD
 WERE DROWNED

Pontiac, Mich, Oct. 29-(UP)- Witnesses today told how Mrs. Kath- erine Arnold, her two lnonths-old baby in her arms, walked, screaming into Cass Lake and drowned herself and the child.
 The tragedy occurred yesterday after Mrs. Arnold. apparently in good spirits, left home ostenSibly to go to grocery store to buy material for a birthday cake for one of her six stepchildren.
 Instead of going to the store Mrs. Arnold boarded a bus and went to the lake, five miles away.
 Edwin Allison and Marvin Chest nut, from a distance, saw her walk into the lake. She gave no sign that she heard their shouted pleas to come back. Screaming incoherently, she walked on until she and the baby disappeared beneath the surface.
 The bodies were recovered about $50 feet from the shore.
 Henry Arnold, A, her second hus- band, said he could not explain his wife's act. Their home life was pleas ant, he said.

Hawks gave the sleek, snow white, completely streamlined plane its first workout here October 18 and said he was well pleased with results.
 sIt's a swell job," he said, "and there is no doubt in my mind that it will do between 250 and 400 miles an hour"
 If it does, Time Flies stands a good chance of exceeding the pres ent world speed mark of 352.38 miles an hour established by How ard Hughes at Santa Ana, Cal, a year ago.
