Cooking Simplified By
Modern Methods


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 anything else.
This is probably due to the extern
sive 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.

Love is one of the predominant
things of the universe keeping us in

shadow over us, if love is present; If
our mother, father, sweetheart or

stretched hands; the burden is less
ened and we can push on and upward.

THE SEASON reveals many
garments with many uses. Among
them is this one, called a cocktail
coat, but suitable for any after
noon affair and not too dressy for
street wear. It is of black silk
bengaline, with two large leather
buttons at the well-defined waist
line. It has a lot of flare, and
there are slit pockets in the seam
ing, both above and below the
waistline. AS shown, it is worn
with straight skirt to match and
with a printed chiffon blouse,
the front bow of which falls out
side the skirt.

IN RAIL ACT

Examiners of the I. C. C. told
the commission yesterday that
while railroads should not be pre-

as transport systems, the inter

amended to prevent recurrence of
many of the actions of railroad
managements which have caused
the need for reorganization in
bankruptcy of many railroad
systems.
The examiners recommends
tions were made in the commits
