There is one member of the Norman family
who INDUCES in totally different kind of food
whenever Ethel and her mother are out of
town. Mr. Zimmerman, who shares the favor
ite American dishes of his wife and daughter
during most of the year, likes treat of
German food when they are away. Pot roast
and noodles, fat, delicious German dumplings,
and stews turn his temporary bachelordom
into gourmet holiday.
"One thing do insist upon," Ethel said
Evening star., 1937-01-17

as she superintended the setting of the table
for tea, "and that IS a correctly set table
and service as perfect as it is possible to
get. 1t is not necessary to have big estab-
lishment and retinue of servants; but it
is important that any house, big or little,
should be expertly run.
Il know plenty of people with places four
times the size of this apartment but they do
not enjoy life more than we do. We don't 20
in for elaborate things nor do we believe
that six servants make you happier than two.
In fact, it may be just the other way around"
Ethel does not do great deal of entertain
ing especially during the theatrical season.
For recreation she likes to take her dog for
walk in the park, to have little afternoon
leisure when she can lust sit around and talk
as we are doing now." and sometimes to in
vite old friends to have lunch with her or
join her for late supper party. II mean the
friends had before I ever went into the
show business" says this most unspoiled and
unspoilable of lucky stars.
Evening star., 1937-01-17

Il still like strawberry JAM" she says,
"and often have it in the afternoon with
crackers and glass of buttermilk And when
/ want special treat, can't think of any,
thing better than nut bread with cream
cheese and JAM"
Nothing could be more delicious, in Ethel's
opinion than well made, we'll seasoned soup.
She mentions especially consomme, cream of
green pea or cream of tomato soup and a
lentil soup favored with chopped Frank
furters But best of all she likes chicken soup
with rice - made either as a clear broth or
as cream soup.
Roast chicken is fine, too," she says, IF
it isn't served so often that you get tired of it.
A good Chow Mein is also dish worth talking
about. But there are occasions when nothing
tastes better than tartar steak sandwich"
Ethel's preferences in desserts are also
simple, barking back to the cookies, custards
and chocolate pudding that she liked as a
child. But most often she chooses ice cream
and compete of fruit.

A HHEN Ethel Zimmerman dropped
M her job as Wall Street secretary
Wv and the "Zim" from her last
name in order to become Ethel
Norman. now so famous on stage and screen.
those were the only important parts of her
past that she did drop. She gained many new
Things - opportunities, friends, and fame.
But she kept inviolate also the girlhood
friends who used to be her neighbors, the old
companionship with her father and mother.
and the same fundamental simplicity about
her way of living.
The vivid, dark-eyed. black haired young
woman, Ethel Norman, is proving again this
year, in RED Hot and Blue" how she can
make her personality and voice serve her as
magnetic musical comedy actress. But in pri-
vate she remains person without affectations
and of simple tastes. A succession of lucky
breaks" have not spoiled her. Sophistication
has not dulled her appreciation of old favorites
nor turned her into an epicure in good times
or food.
Il like home-cooked food, she says "You
could put all the fancy dishes of the worlds
finest chefs in front of me, and should still
prefer the simple fare of an ordinary family
table, well cooked and correctly served. Incl
dentally, like the much maligned spinach
and eat a lot of it - believe it or not.
Give me chops, steak and roast beef and
some perfectly cooked fresh vegetables, and
will say your meal is excellent. Carrots, string
Deans, broccoli. spinach, creamed caulfower
Il like them all and l like them very much"
One of Ethel's pleasantest memories con-
nected with food is of the days when she used
to come home very hungry after school and
find homemade strawberry jam waiting for
her, with plate of white bread and butter
and glass of milk.

tions and SO city units, and each coun-
tv is divided into districts, of which
there are 908 in the State.

Griffin Tells PIT. A.
Of State School Plans
Outlines Methods of Hand ng Educational Work; Rally
Held at High School, Will Attendance From All
Parts of County; ew Parents There

some $3,O00OO0 on debt service, &c.
$1,000 goes to charitable and correc-
tional institutions and social security
causes. The income item is augmented
annually by the diversion of $1,000
coo from the highway revenue. Land
taxes are not levied by the State but
remain for the cities and counties.
When an additional school bus is
needed, the county has to buy that,
although requirements for WORKOUT
buses are financed by the State.
Increase i'm High Schools.
In the year 1886 high school stu
dents increased 5000 above the pre-
vious year, and last year there was
an additional 5000 increase over 1886
&c. There is, however, an apparent
decline in elementary enrolment.
Mr. Griffin said the legislature had
been fair with the schools and had
appropriated all the money it felt it
could safely supply and endeavored
to give every child, rich or poor, an
equal chance for an education. He en-
phasized the safety needs, in teaching
the children to be careful in crossing
streets and also in teaching bus driv-
ers to use the utmost caution at all
times. He said the reward to the
teacher was not in the salary re-
ceived, but in the contribution to the
character building of the children.
Teacher salaries this year, including
the ten percent increase voted by the
last legislature, will range from $96
to S12375 per month.

HEAVY BREAK FOR
OPENING EXPECTED
Henderson Will Have Nine
Warehouses This Year;
Buyers and Warehouse
men To Return From South
Carolina Markets in Time
for Start

Flans were virtually completed to-
day for the opening of the 1898 to-
bacco selling season on the Hender-
son market, and farmers offerings
are expected to begin coming in for
warehouse floors by Monday or Tues
day. A fairly large break is anticipat-
ed by most tobacco men. The entire
Middle Belt, with IA markets, will
open at the same time.
Henderson this year will operate
nine warehouses, the most in the his
tory of the market. Greater facilities
than ever before will this '-e provided
growers in disposing of their crop on
the local market
BUYERS ana WarehouSemen who
have been on markets in the South
Carolina-Border Belt are expected to
return home early in the coming
week, if not during this weekend, in
readiness for the start of sales here.
The market will, of course, have two
sets of buyers, as it has had for about
ten years The city also has two large
redrying plants that already are in
operation in handling company pur-
south that are already in operation.
A fair price is anticipated for to-
bacco handled on the local market
this season. Tobacco has been greatly
damaged, however, by recent exces-
sively wet weather, and this has cut
down the volume considerably, and
also the quality to some extent, it is
said.
Last year Henderson sold 21,098,2 $50
pounds of leaf for an average of $24.80
per hundred pounds, with $5,212,-
5000 paid to growers. This was less
because of a short crop than the pre-
vious season, when the market hand
led 24,261, 444 pounds for $5,O55, 054.O1
for an average of $20.84 per hundred
pounds. This years goal is 100000
pounds, but much will depend on the
size of the crop. Not more than one
or two changes have been made in
the personnel of buyers, and the same
warehousemen who conducted houses
on the local market last year will be
on the joe, again this season.
