Leftover Ham
Possibilities

The remains from the baked
ham can be served in number OF
delicious ways. Cubes of this ham
can be arranged alternately with
wedges of pineapple on skewers
and broiled until piping hot. Thin
slices of the ham marinated In the
French dressing can be brolled
until golden brown.
This dish from Vermont suggests
in ingenious way to serve it with
cornmeal muSh. The proportions
are right for six persons.
Ham with COrnmeal Mush
2 cups cornmeal
tablespoon salt
2 cups cold water
cups boiling water
Y cup raislnS
slices ham
y cup maple syrup
butter
Stir cold water in measured corn
meal. Add to boiling salted water.
Stir constantly until it starts to
boil up again. Cover and cook
slowly for two hours. Add raisins.
Pour into square tin and chill until
firm. Slice into slices one-half
inch thick, brown in butter. Place
the slices of ham on a shallow bak-
ing pan, pour the maple syrup over
them, bake in a hot oven for 10
minutes. Serve with the cornmeal
muSh.
The Washington times., 1937-02-05
Vegetable Dish

A hearty vegetable plate can be
created entirely from canned
vegetables plus a baked potato
and an artful dash of spice, herbs,
or sauce.
A typical plate of this sort can
be formed from string beans, car.
rots, peas, spinch with hard
cooked egg, and baked potato. In
preparing the corn add salt, pep
per, dry mustard, and a generous
lump of butter.
The spinach IS more delicious
if dash of nutmeg is added to it.
For variety the egg can be poached
in the center of individual serV'
ings of the spinach.

Fruit With Me at

Broiled peach and apricot halves
are finding their way more and
more often to the main course.
They are so right to serve with
meats. You just brush them lightly
with melted butter and run them
under the broiler for a minute.
They come out gently Drowned,
hot and tempting.

to them 40 days of simple living
To the family economist and
menu planner, it means placing
stress on the traditional Lenten
dishes and bringing to the fore
new and delicious meat suoslt-
tutes.
Casserole
Vegetable casserole dishes, nuts,
eggs. cheese and canned and
fresh seafood dishes can all be
featured.
These are foods that can be
made very appetzing or very flat
tasting, depending on the type and
amount of seasoning used.
The salmon is one seafood pos
sibility that is both inexpensive
and easy to prepare. 1t can be
served in salad with tart mayon-
naise and shredded raw vegetables.
It is also delicious creamed or
served in casserole.
Nothing can really be quite so
tempting as smoking hot cas-
serole dish if it is perfectly pre-
pared. Salmon offers many pos
sibillties for such a casserole. A
crisp flaky crust can form the top
of the Savory concoCtion.
A dish that I find delicious is
salmon served with macaroni.
The salmon is cooked with a to-
mato sauce and served inside a
well-seasoned macaronl ring. The
dish has both color and an excel.
lent flavor.
Lenten Salmon Dish
/ can of salmon G6-ounce size)
2 tablespoons of butter
tablespoons of flour
l onion
cups of tomatoes
cups of boiled maCaroni
Melt the butter in the pan. Add
flour and blend. Add the tomatoes
that have been run through the
sieve. Add the flaked fish and
chopped onion. Salt and pepper
to taste. Cook slowly for about 10
minutes.
Cook and drain the macaroni.
Season with butter, salt and pep
per, Shape in ring mold. Serve
hot with the salmon tomato sauce
poured into the center Of the ring.
Sprinkle grated cheese over the
top of the dish.
For the dinner menu, serve with
this salmon dish steamed buttered
spinach. apple and celery salad,
biscuits and marmalade.
Creamed salmon on toast gains
new flavor if mushrooms are
added. Cream of mushroom soup
can be used in this dish.
Salmon in Mushroom Sauce
can of salmon G6-ounce siZeJ
2 tablespoons of butter
3 tablespoons of flour
l medium can Of cream of muSh-
room soup
cup of peas
Salt
Pepper
Drain the salmon. Remove bones
and flake. Melt the butter. add
flour and blend. Add the soup
and stir until it is thickened. Add
the salmon, peas, salt and pepper.
Serve on toast triangles.
For Sunday night supper, try
this nodded salad made with COT
tage cheese, celery, raw carrots
and salmon. 1t has all of the
needed food values for a one-dish
meal.

elements to each other, the net resultant

Da Vinci understood the principle de-
manded for great artistic achievement.
His Mona Lisa is not celebrated for her
smile merely. The brow, the eyes. the
throat, the bosom, the quiet hands like
wise are required to explain the resig-
nation for which the subject is famous
defiant variety Of submission, surely.
But an authentic master never misses
the point which the basic unity of his
effort supports. The peasant Millet. for
example, fills several square yards OF can
vas'to provide background for the droop-
ing shoulders and the gnarled fists of
his lost Man With the Hoe. He builds
to an apex. And it is that climateric
triumph that the world receives into its
consciousness for durable preservation
among its traditions.
The camera, mechanically exact, is
an aide not to be despised. 1t repro
duces both unity and the component
fractions thereof. Slowly perhaps but
definitely, this current pictorial age must
be learning truth and the motives and

Holds That Federal Paw
Scale Is Now Too High

To the Editor Of The Star:
Senator McCarran is honestly inter-
ested in the welfare of the Federal Gov
ernment employees. But will a pay in
crease improve the lot of the average
Government clerk?
The prevailing high cost of living in
Washington is due in large part to the
TACT that Government workers are paid
too much. Washington Is an artificial
city with artificial standards. People
doing $10-a-week work are paid any,
where from 81 400 to $2,400 a year and
think they should live like the lords of
creation. Consequently, every one with
whom they do business sets out to get
his share Of the Government clerks
unearned salary. Rent is high, food is
high, clothing is high, everything one
must buy and every service one must
pay for costs more than it should. You
can't blame the business people. They
have to pay the same high prices for
everything they buy and are not paid
the exorbitant salaries that the Federal
employees enjoy. If the scale of pay in
the Government is increased, the price
OF everything will go still higher. So
the Government employees will not bene-
fit and living will be just that much
harder for those residents of the District
who are not recipients of Uncle Sans
largesse.
Every one in the District would benefit
far more if, instead OF making the pay
of Government workers more diSpropor-
tionate than it now is. the Federal Gov
ernment would pay the taxes which it is
right and just that it should pay to the
District. E. j. WOODSON.

Errors in the Jacobs
Report on ID. C.. Finances
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
I was interested in noting that The
Star had discovered the error on page
lib Of the Jacobs report regarding gar
bage collections of but one collection
per week in Winter time. 1t Is possible
that this may be the case in some Of the
outlying sections of the District, but at
our home on Belmont street northwest
the collections are made three times each
week, both Winter and Summer.
On the top of page 119 is statement
that the District has a small relief prob
lem" Fortunately the annual report of
the District Commissioners for 1886 is
at hand. This report gives q total Of
over 50 100000 for public welfare and net
expenditures of about 100000 for
emergency relief. in addition. of course.
to the Community Chest and the many
numerous private relief agencies. This Is
certainly a very substantial amount.
With regard to the pay-as-you-go
policy of the District, 1t does not seem
that this point is brought out as it should
be in a comparative report Of this ma
ture. On page 113 is table purporting
to give percentage per capita costs, which
completely ignores payments for interest
and principal payments on debts, which
it is believed amounts 20 per cent to 80
per cent in many cities. To be sure
there is a statement of $8.49 per capita
