SALT AIDS COOK
IN MANY WAYS

Any good cooks knows the i'm
portance of salt in cookery. But
it also has other good uses be-
sides bringing out the flavor of
foods. Sprinkle a little salt on par
sley and it will chop finer and
more easily. II an egg cracks
when cooking, a pinch of salt
added to the water may prevent
1t from leaking through the shell.
To prevent a fish from slipping
through the fingers while being
cleaned, first dip the fingers in
salt. In frying meat. sprinkle a
little salt in the pan before adding
fat, and troublesome sputtering
will be avoided. Worcester salt
is a dependable salt for all these
uses and will be used at the wash

Winter Blooms
Easily Forced
In 3Ways

Bulbs may be forced in a mum.
Der Of mediums-they may be
grown in soil, in bulb fiber, or in
pebbles and water. However, the
gardener who uses soil for a fore.
ing medium has a greater range
Of material to select from than
when fiber or pebble-and-water
culture is used, since only certain
types of bulbs are adaptable to
these amount Of complete, bal
anced plant food thoroughly with
the soil before potting the bulbs.
In all methods, however, these
two fundamental rules must ne
followed for success,
/. Secure good healthy bulbs.
better and stronger bulbs are
needed for indoor culture than
when the bulbs are grown out-of-
doors. This applies particularly
to bulbs such as the paper-White
narciSSuS, Chinese sacred lily, and
other bulbs grown in pebbles and
water, for they get no nourishment
other than that contained in the
bulb itself.
2. After planting, be sure that a
well-developed root system is es-
tablished before permitting any
top or growth. A good root syS-
TEN may be established by plac-
ing the pots or other containers in
which the bulbs are planted in a
dark closet, or cellar, where the
temperature is from 40 to so de-
greeS Fahrenheit. Or, better still,
bulbs potted in soil may be buried
out-of-doors in a t9ench 21h to 3
feet deep where drainage is good
Bulbs should be sufficiently rooted
elgth to ten weeks after planting

Dub. II plants are kept in too
warm place before sufficient
growth has been made, the leaf
growth may be weak and the
flowers, if any, will be stunted.
After a good root growth has

taken up and put in a Semi.dark.

Is well started, apply a feeding

and give more light, but continue
to keep in a cool room. When the
flower buds begin to show clearly
the plant can gradually be brought
to direct sunlight. Hyacinths, es.
pec1ally, should not be brought
into strong light until the flower
spike is well advanced, otherwise

utes, Miss Lame explained, 100
miles Of food actually represents
from 30 to 35 minutes in the air,
and this is about the average time
the passenger devotes to his aerial
dinner.
Reduced to Miles
Several girls flying out Of New
ark were in a hotel room one eve
ming between runs when the con-
versation turned to the subject of
food" Miss Lame said. After
more than an hour of banter the
following menu, reduced to terms
Of statute miles, was evolved:
Soup or bouillon ..... rs miles
Salad ........ .'.... ~ miles
Main course ...........4 Az miles
Dessert ................. 15 miles
Total .............10 100 miles
"This, of course, is merely an
approximation and does not in
clude a few miles necessary to con-
sumo the olives, pickles, nuts,
minis and other incidentals which
supplement the regular meal.
Forty miles for the main course
is based on chicken pot pie, one OF
our most popular entrees. Fried
chicken, also very popular, can
easily run as high as so or 65
miles which, of course, would in
crease the total miles for the en-
tire meal"
Miss Lame said very few pas
sengers ever thought of reducing
their food to terms of statute miles
but admitted she occasionally en-
countered someone who found this
a diverting method of spending
time on the longer flights. The
longest meal on record, she said,
covered a distance of more than
400 miles and was planned and
executed by a passenger who
made her attest to the feat.

early last spring, on a non
stop eastbound flight from Chi

passengers their luncheon shortly

One passenger was studying his

uuested specific information as to
our position, and I placed a check
mark just opposite Battle Creek,

".He began to eat but with an
amazing lack of appetite. He
spent the first 10 minutes MUNICH

to worry about his bouillon getting
cold before he took his first
mouthful. We had passed Detroit,
and were skirting the shores Of
Lake st. Clair before he swallowed
the last of his soup and signalled
for his salad. He had spent more
than half an hour on this one
course!

PRESS BODY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Presi-

to retain his honorary membership
in the American Press Society.

PRETENDER TO THRONE
AGAIN IN LIMELIGHI

PARIS, Nov. %. = Duke OF de-
Guise, Pretender to the throne of
France, has issued a manifesto
which has been distributed here
that he has decided to "reconquer
the throne of my fathers
A five thousand word manifesto
left no doubt that the Prtender
now living in exile in Belgium
plans a conquest
The manifesto caused intense ex-
element among the French Royal
lists. The manifesto was distrib-

began ferreting out what appears
to be a plot to overthrow the Re-
public.
The Count de Paris, now in exile
in Geneva, is believed to be the
one who caused the distribution of
the manifesto. He is the Dukes

There are no developments today

The controversy is between the

that cooks and stewards rotate jobs
on every voyage and the operators
refused TO grant the demands be-
cause this will prevent them from
from observing Federal safety re-
