Cooking Simplified By
Modern Methods
Chicken Pot Pie Will Go Further When Made
With TapiOca

Looking back over a number of
years, one will note that styles in
food and food preparations have
changed just about as much as they
have in clothing, furniture or any
thing else. This is probably due to
the extensive testing and trying out
of new methods. There are people
working all the time to simplify
cooking for the housewife and one
of the methods becoming more and
more popular is the use of tapioca
for thickening gravies, stews and
ramekins.
This recipe for chicken pot pie
is one of these recipes and how
people will rave about it when it
is served.

Preparation Of Brussels
Sprouts Developed
By Communities

Recipes for Brussels Sprouts,
though not so numerous as for
many other vegetables, are found
to be different in all parts of the
country. There is always the good
way of preparing them by merely
boiling in sailed water and serving
with melted butter, such recipe
as this is known all over the land,
but occasionally one will come
across recipes that have been de-
veloped by a certain community,
such as the following:
BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH
CHESTNUTS
Make a small slit in the flat
side of large Italian chestnuts.
Put them in frying pan with /
teaspoon of butter to every pound
of chestnuts. Let the butter melt
on top of the stove, shake the fry
ing pan until the chestnuts are
slightly heated. Put in the oven
for 5 or 6 minutes. Take off the
shells and inner skin with a knife
while the chestnuts are still hot.
Cook in boiling sailed water until
tender; drain off all the water,
and mash chestnuts in bowl with
/ tablespoon of butter to every
pound. Moisten with hot milk, sea-
son slightly with salt and pepper,
and beat until light.
Wash the sprouts and pick them
over carefully. Cook in boiling
sailed water 20 minutes. In a bak-
ing dish lay half of the sprouts
dot generously with butter; then
put in half the chestnuts, lay in
the remaining sprouts with bits Of
butter ontop, and finally the rest
of the chestnuts, with more but
ter on top. Put in hot oven until
the butter is melted.

Great wars and revolutions, plaques and

soul. The race simply does not sur
render to destiny. Instead, its losses
prompt it to struggle more bravely, more
intelligently, more effectively. So the
New London disaster will be conlpen-

perished there will be immortalized in
their fellows. If meanwhile tears fall

Assent to Lawbreaking.

The sit-doWn strike, as a weapon to
compel favorable response by employers
to the demands of workers, has for the
present succeeded, despite it's obvious
lllegality. This measure of coercion, i'm
ported from France, worked in the first
motor strike in Michigan and is working
again there in the same industry. In both
cases courts have acted in restraint, by
the issuance of injunctions against the
strikers to require them to quit the
plants but these commands have been
ignored and defled and there has been
no effort to enforce them by police or
military action, as would have been the
case in any other line of lawbreaking
Fear of precipitating bloodshed in the
enforcement of these court orders has
been the justification advanced for the
failure to enforce the mandate of the
law Hope has been expressed that
through tolerance with the trespass that
has been committed by the strikers
trespass that would in any other case
be Immediately checked and perhaps
punished-some settlement of the issues
at stake could be arranged without con-
hict. Thus the strike has been given
official endorsement as a legitimate
weapon.
Let it be supposed that a body of Gov
ernment workers, clerks in one of the
executive departments here in Washing
ton, were to go on strike for higher
wages, shorter hours and additional priv
ileges, and that they adopted the "sit-
down" method. This would paralyze
the work of that branch of the Govern
ment. Would the Federal authorities
tolerate such maneuver? If injunc-
tions were secured from the court to
order the vacation of the premises un-
der penalty of arrest and punishment,
would they be enforced, by the police
or by the military? If not, the Govern
ment itself would be crippled in its op-

bird which will fearlessly attack a
cat flying down time after time to peck
it on the back is no creature for a
milder bird to fool with, hence all Others
give it wide berth.
To date we have never seen a blueiay

1t simply doesn't have to!

There is no more beautiful garden
picture at this time of year than one
Of these fine fellows fitting himself on
the edge of feeder, dipping into it for
seed from time to time
Jays ordinarily pay little attention to
the mixtures of seeds and grains which
are commonly called "wildbird food"
Occasionally they will sample it, just
to get the taste, but usually stay no more
than 20 minutes day at feeder
This Winter, however, many of them
have paid more attention to our feeders,
coming at least once, and often twice a
day, in little flock of about half
dozen to a dozen.
The weekend observer will be willing
to think that still the bluejays really
do not want much to eat, but just fly
down on the feeders for the pure Joy of
making smaller birds get out of the way
An old starting was doing in the
feeder Sunday afternoon as the snow
fell.
Two dozen English sparrows were
perched in the Shrubbery, waiting for
the starting to leave.
1t showed no intention of doing so.
This bird is perhaps the only one with
enough sense to utilize feeders for resting
stations. Practically all other birds
attend strictly to the great business of
llfe-eating-When at a feeder, but the
starting is different; he is content to sit
out of the rain or snow A wise old bird
is he. This is shown by his universal
habit of selecting warm and protected
sleeping places such as the cornices of
elaborately decorated public buildings in
which heat is kept all night.
This starting showed no signs of leav-
ing, much to the disgust of the sparroWs.
Occasionally a braver bird would fly
down and eat on the tray but the crowd
did not follow, as is its won't
Finally, with war Whoop, a fine Jay
flew down.
He alighted on the roof, covered with
snow ABOUT three inches thick at the
time. This had congealed so that the
great bird was able to walk around on
the roof without knocking off any.

The old starting cooked a weather eye
at the jay, but did not move
Was he going to bluff the other?
Open came the jays bill.
His metallic Shrek split the air, but
the starting did not move
Then with slight movement of his
feet the bluejay slid off the roof, turned
and perched on the feeder platform.
BY the time this was done, which was
in famous "split-second," the starting
was gone. He did not contest the
seizure.
AS to which is the most beautiful bird
IN the snow, the bluejay or the cardinal,
every one will have a different opinion.
AS the result of much consideration.

erations, would perhaps be thrown into
demoralizing confusion.
If the sit-down strike can succeed
through the failure of the law in one
field 1t can in another, public or pri-
vate. The Secretary of Labor, in the
course Of the first of these disturbances
in Michigan, declared that the "ille-
gality of the sit-down strike has not yet
been determined" While this declara-
tion was not endorsed by higher author
ity it was not rebuked or corrected. Two
Michigan courts have declared it to be
an illegal weapon of coercion. But even
the orders of these courts have not been
enforced. Has government by law bro
ken down?
veritable state of war exists in the
field of these disturbances, war against
the law as well as war against the cor
poratlons against which these strikes
have been instituted. And the Federal
Government does nothing, can do MOTH
ing as long as the field of actual opera
tions is confined within the boundaries
of a State, although interstate COM
merce is affected by the suspension OF
the activities of manufactures the prod
ucts of which go into all the States and
to foreign countries as well.
AS to the fact that an offense against
public as we'll as private interests has
been committed by these trespasses upon
the property of the corporations in
volved there can be do doubt whatever.
The plain fact is that this imported
weapon of revolt against the public well
fare has now the virtual sanction of
executive officers of government, while
the courts have declared it, to be illegal
and punishable. This is no less than
administrative connivance with law
breaking.

New London Tragedy.

The people of the District of Columbia

Distance is no barrier for human SYM
pathy, and the grief of the oil field COM
munltles for the teachers and pupils
who died in the school disaster at New
London is deeply and poignantly shared
by their neighbors in Washington Per-
haps as many as seven hundred lives
have been terminated in a single tragic
moment, and the loss is one which the
whole Nation feels. No American heart
can be unaffected by news whose very
nature is to strike with the force of a
physical blow. The thought of innocent
children and devoted instructors killed
Is intolerably cruel. Yet the pain must
be endured, the sorrow borne with
courage.
No explanation of the cataclysm is
available. Careful investigation of the
ruins may disclose the cause, but it is
indicated that it always will remain q
mystery. In that regard it resembles
the contradiction whereby blind fate
appears to destroy unoffending life
needlessly, senselessly and pitilessly
Not even the wisest philosopher can
read the riddle. Under the impact of
the shock of such devastating expert

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Just as many persons have only their
week ends in which to do their garden
ing, so there are ardent bird lovers who
must crowd most of their observations
into Saturday afternoon and Sunday.
These two days give them ample op-
portunity nevertheless, because the
songsters which come to our yards in
Winter and Summer know nothing at all
about days.
Their only interest in days is day.
break, when they awake and eat, and
dusk, when they stop eating and go to
sleep.
Life is simple for the birds. They have
no traffic problems, being singularly free
from collisions and smashups while in
the air Fishes are similarly free from
accidents.
Why is this? Why must man be the
only animal which cannot go around
without hitting others of his tribe, in
juring and killing them in the name OF
pleasure, progress and business?
1t must be because of the machines
he has invented. He has made them,
but he cannot handle them any too
successfully.
Birds and fishes, free from invention,
have no trouble at all in going their
ways without smashing into each other
1t is never-ending motion picture,
the show of fight which the wild birds
give.
Saturday and Sunday are as good days
as any for the birds. which do not
bother with our calendars and systems
OF days, but go right ahead living.
Snowy days, OF course, are ideal for
home bird observation.
Not only do the songsters come in
increasing numbers to feeding stations
when snow is on the ground and while
falling, but they puff up their feathers
and thus look larger.
Also, and this is no small point the
white makes the most admirable back
ground conceivable for showing their
beauty.
What color treat is more delightful
than the sight of cardinal or redbird,
and bluejay within a few feet of each
other?

His bold ways intimidate practically

that he fights them. They simply give

When jay flies to a feeder and
perches on the roof, any cardinal male
or female which happens to be on the
platform cracking sunfloWer seed will
keep its position until the jay flies down.
The moment the wing spread of the
blue-and-White bird is seen the redbird
flies out of the feeder. We have yet to
see cardinal and bluejay eat side by
side.
Even that pudgy fellow, the starting,
with plenty of strength and thick,
capable bill, is willing to give a bluejay
all the room it desires.
1t is not only the confident air of the
jay which bluffs the other birds, but no
doubt is the plain fact, evident to every
child Of Nature, that he is able to back
