Try These Recipes From Ecuador
5ungie Trip Includes Adventuring
 jn Native Foods


 Marian Gillespie and Violet Ohi- sen, American girls who planned and carried out a trip into the McuadOrean Jungles, returned to fl1is country with lore not only Of 4s1e forests, but with cnthusiastic hccounts of their adventures in Ecuadorean kitchens.
 : over a luncheon table at a New York hotel they discussed the food situation in Quito.
 "When we were in Ecuador" said Miss Gillespie, I've were in- yited to private home for lunch" con, and what do you think they seryed7 4 delicious thick soup made of alligator pearsl It isn't riiflcuIt to make; you take real soft pears and run them through q strainer. Then you make white sauce of butter and flour, thin 1t with milk to the proper consist ency, and stir tn the pair pulp. Heat 1t slowly, and when 1t IS eteaming hot, 1t is ready to serve. of course, you season 1t to taste. 1t b the most delicious and deli cately favored soup l have ever eaten even more delicate than mushroom soup, and 1t B far az [ know, original with the South Anericans".
 "Another innovation" chimed in Hiss Chlsen, "is to serve popped corn in a thick soup instead of eroutons. Try 1t and zee if 1t doesn't improve the soup. Take tomato soup for instance add pop ped corn which has been salted and buttered, and see what rest t gives to this trite soup"
 "Eyer hear of banana chips?" Miss dillespie's eyes eparkled as though she'd discovered an un- Known river on her wanderings "A noteworthy find. let me assure you. They arc prepared exactly as we prepare potato chips. but they are ever 70 much better. Of course the bananas must be more green than ripe. for rip bananas would become mushy. The Ecua- dorean cooks use green bananas, sliced in thin slices. dropped in hot fat and crisped as you would potato chips. Then they are lifted from the fat and dried, saltcd and enjoyed hugely"
 "1n Ecuador, the cooking in pri- yate homes is done by Indian ser wants, and the Indians are fa- nous for preparing nutritious meals which are both wcll-balanced and inexpensive. Down there they grow corn which is not unlike our sweet corn, and when it harf ems they parch 1t, salt 1t and serve 1t with meals as we would serve galted pcanuts,'

for us, thank goodness and now we come to 6 much more pleaS- ant phase of budgeting cutting costs by making inexpensive foods taste better than many luxurics. Tn this we may learn much from foreign cooks, who have given us some of our best lessons in sea- goning.
 The German housewife, for cx- ample, takes tho most plcbian piece of chuck meat and, through clever seasoning and stecping the meat n 6 marinadc, makes "sauer-braten' that mellow flavor and tenderness beggars description. Thb dish IS much the same as our own beer q Ia mode. only more accentuatcd in seasoning.
 To the marinadc of mild cider or wine vinegar the cook addS sugar enough to mellow the sharp ncs sof the acid; also salt, pepper. slices of onion, little baylcaf, cloves and ailspice, and the meat B al- lowed to "ripcn" four or five hours or over night. Then it B drained of the liquor. rubbed with a mix turc of about two tablespoons of flour. one of sugar and q teaspoon of salt. When the meat B scared quickly on both sides in hot fat or butter, the sugar carmclizcs quickly over the surface and holds in the juices. and also gives that rich brown color and body needed in order to make the good gravy in which the scared meat is allowed to simmer until 1t is done.
 The same principle is followed when preparing Swiss steak in fact, for practically all meats that are scared, broiied or fried. But the cancellation of sugar to hold ID juices is not the only service tbls seasoning performs. It also mcllows and accents various meat flavors. Fresh pork seems to have q special affinity for sugar, and we use 1t in combination with salt and pepper to obtain that slight swcctness which we associate with the finest young pork.

HIDDEN WEALTH
MAY YIELD TAX
Keeping Levy on IntangibIes
Might Find Sources Yet
Give Income Tax Credit.

Tax Assessor Fred D. Allen conf
IDENTIFY predicted yesterday the new
taxation program which would saddle
an income tax on the District with
out repeating the existing tax on in
tangible personal property will resur-
rect buried treasures to aid in bal
ancing the wobbling municipal budget
Unknown owners OF intangibles, to
escape heavy taxes on incomes, Allen
pointed out, probably will dig into
bank vaults for the first time and bring
to light for taxation purposes for the
first time long hidden stocks, bonds
and other intangibles.
The new tax legislation approved
by the special tax subcommittee Of
the House District Committee will
allow credit on income tax payments
for payments on intangible property.
This feature alone, Allen said, leads
us to expect additional returns on
intangible property"
Teeth Put in Legislation.
The subcommittee also has written
into the tax legislation a provision
designed to put teeth into the in
tangible property law. which Alien
has estimated will increase the rev.
enue from this source at least ST.
100000 a year Coupled with the
credit allowance. the additional rev.
enue is expected to go far beyond that
figure.

said, intangible property owners gave
him Al ,903 accounts in the 1886 fiscal
year. which produced S2,l04,7 1857
Final figures are not available for the
Allen said the income from the in
tangible tax would jump to s2,6O5 ,266
as result of a check his Office has
made on Federal income tax returns.
The largest single intangible as
sessment for the current fiscal year
was s3.500,00o, which yielded tax
of sl7500. The average tax, how
ever, is s5022.

Although the credit allowance on
income tax payments for intangible
payments is expected to reduce the
estimated 100000 yield from in
comes, Allen as we'll as other District
officials believe tax sources never be-
fore reached will be tapped under the
new program.
Allen and Vernon West, principal
assistant corporation counsel, both
explained there are scores of persons
in the District with large incomes who
do not own any tangible property
Conversely, they sad, there are many
persons who own only few shares OF
stocks and bonds and pay only a
small Intangible tax who also will
be caught under the income tax law
Allen also pointed out that the
District, under the income tax law
will be in position to extract some
revenue from owners of Government
bonds and stocks of local concerns
which are now tax exempt under the
Intangible law. since dividends on
these stocks and bonds will be taxable
as income.
