URGEH|GHWAY
FOR VIRGINIA

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, Jan. 4.-Delegations of Off
cials from Arlington and Fairfax
counties will appear before the
State Highway Commission in
Richmond today to urge construc-
tion of State highway along the
abandoned roadbed of the Wash
ington and Old Dominion Railway
from the point of it's intersection
with the Lee Highway at Cherry
dale to the Great Falls of the Po-
tomac.
The roadbed, long advocated as
a highway route to relieve traffic
congestion on the main arterial
highways connecting the two coun-
ties with the National Capital,
would also provide a thoroughfare
for the farming and rural sections
of Fairfax county formerly served
by the Washington and Old Do
minion.
The roadbed right-of-way was
ceded to Arlington and Fairfax
by the railway company several
months ago in settlement of de-
linquent taxes. Officials of the
two counties have agreed to trans
fer title to the State, provided the
Highway Commission will con-
struct and maintain the proposed
thoroughfare as par of the State
highway system.
Officials who will go to Rich
mond include members of the
Arlington County Board, the Fair
fax Board of Supervisors and
Frank C. Hanrahan and C. L. Kin
nier, Arlington county manager
and county engineer.

on the teeth, the hair and the nails. Apricots, figs, prunes gooseber- ries, cranberries, cabbage, parsnips, lettuce, onions, dates and bran are very rich in this precious min- eral which also gives vitality and endurance to the body, counteracts acids, and helps to heal wounds. We do not name them without realizing that most of them are the very green foods which we are most likely to omit from daily menus. Certainly we do not often combine several of them in one dish, to as- sure the body of generous dose of this necessary substance which not only stimulates the growth of beautiful, healthy hair, but also tends to banish gray hair and stop hair from falling out. Here, then, is a good calcium re- cipe which gives us three green spring vegetables and bit of bran in appetizing combination:

 cup chopped raw spinach

 Mix the cabbage, spinach and onions with mayonnaise. Sprinkle bran over the top and serve thor oughly chilled.

Nova Scotia is truly the Land of the Sea-!

BAKED SPAGHETTI HASH

We're all sort of weak charac- ters about garlic at our house. It's
 such a temptation to tuck a smid- gen or so in all kinds of dishes-a whiff seems to do so much for them. But after a while we get to being social affliction. So we've decided to stife the impulse most of the time and just give in every now and then when the whole family has been consulted. Come such an aus- picious moment we like to serve this Baked Spaghetti Hash: First we grind together a pound of round steak, small clove of garlic and a tidbit of an onion. That way you don't get any of the garlic and onion odor on your hands. Then we fry this blend in a little fat until it's all nicely Drowned, and season with a teaspoonful of salt and dash of pepper. Now for real flavor fest we take large can of Cooked Spa- ghetti-the kind that comes done up in crimson Tomato and Cheese Sauce-and arrange portions of this in layers in a casserole, alternating the Spaghetti with layers of the meat, beginning and ending with the Spaghetti. When this is topped off with sprinkling of grated Par mesan cheese and baked in 400' F. oven for 30 minutes, it makes a yummy dish!

THE SOUFFLE S1MPLIFIED
 D EMEMBER when souffles were N an awe inspiring art? A fav- ored few had the knack-the rest of us went around snorting at the whole idea of soft foods anyway. Just the same, between us and our cookstoves, we'd have given a lot for the light and delicate touch that went into the making of one of those fluffy creations. Well, things are easier nowadays. Even the souf- fie has been debunked and a veri- table beginner can have success with one of those fool-proof recipes going the rounds hereabouts. Jun for can tumble all over the kitchen floor with the pup, or your dinner guest dawdle on the doorstep past the appointed hour and the modern souffle will still stay intact. Here's how it's done: Combine 1 h cupfuls of faked canned tuna fish with a IT ounce can of Cooked Macaroni and merge we'll with a fork until the Macaroni is broken into smallish bits. Then stir in 2 egg yolks beaten to pale lemon yellow color, and fold in 2 stiffly beaten egg whites. Transfer to greased casserole and bake in moderate oven (350' F.) for about 40 minutes. Serve hot, and know a notable triumph!

Your Table Manners
THE GOBLET AND THE GLASS

HE GOBLEI AND HE GLASS
 Raising the goblet or glass to the lips and setting it down again oil the table can be a most delightful gesture-or extremely awkward. It all depends on whether the glass is "griped" or "lifted".
 StemWare-that is, goblets of all shapes and sizes-should be lifted by firmly grasping the stem be- tween the fingers, midway between the base and the cup Never clench the goblet in the whole hand, as though it were a heavy mug. Many people do just that, you know!
 Others curl all the fingers around the stem in a vise-like grip, while still others hold the steam between two or three fingers, allowing the last two fingers to wave about in an affected way.
 When lifting a tumbler, grasp it firmly with the fingers near the bottom, and it will tip gracefully for drinking. Holding the glass exactly in the middle or too near the top gives a strangely clumsy effect.

The secret of it's subtle springish flavor is a tin of Strained Apricots and Apple Sauce-the kind you've been feeding your very best infant lately. All you have to do is pilfer a tin from the baby's shelf and add it to F cupful water and F cupful sugar that have boiled together for 10 minutes. Boil this blend up smartly again and serve a lavish spoonful over a slice of pudding. It's elegant on either Fig or Date or Plum Pudding.
