Wherever they go they revert to type. An Eastern
Shore heritage marks a man forever. And what
a nice characteristic this is. Especially when it
shows itself in such native pursuits as terrapin
lunches.
Senator Millard Tydings, whose constituency
takes in the productive waters of the Chesapeake
Bay, had such feast the other day in the office
OF the Committee on Territories and Insular At
fairs, of which he is chairman. Admitting friends
had sent him mess of terrapin and oysters"
The Senate lunch room had cooked the delicacy
Superbly. Mrs. Tydings, as pretty as her luncheon
centerpiece OF larkspur and sweet peas, had
ordered the cornbread and hominy, without which
no Sef-reSpecting terrapin emerges from its boil
ing pot. Likewise the green salad and the vanilla
ice cream. Moreover she had brought a home
made coconut cake under her arm from home
to the Capitol
Three times during the meal Senator Tydings
his Maryland colleague, George Radcliffe, and
Senator Ashurst had to dash out and vote at the
call of the bell for voting on amendments to the
reorganization bill. Mrs. Harold A. Walker, who
is terrapin specialist in her own right (she
learned her art at her country place, Webley, on
the Maryland Eastern Shore), and Mrs. Francis
E. Written (appreciative epicure) were at the
party.

the average reached peak of 1919. 1t fell rapidly

index by years since then has been %, 35.6,

WAGE HEARING
Workers 'Sandbagged'
By Firms, Is Charge

A double-feature horror picture
was unreeled verbally at yester-
days session Of the laundry-clean-
ers minimum wage conference.
Exhibited by the employer
group, one picture dealt with the
bugaboo of Maryland and Virginia

high" minimum wage for women
and minors is fixed.
The other picture, on behalf of
employees, accused laundry and

to the Community Chest, the Red
Cross and the Metropolitan Police
Boys Club.
CALL OPERATORS
Edward E. Farran. on behalf of
the employers, flashed the outside
competition bugaboo before the
conference when he called two
laundry operators, John Horst, of
Baltimore. and c. Archer Smith,
Of Fredericksburg, Va, to testify.
Both agreed if a high" min
imum was set for the laundry
workers, the District would be-
come a fertile field for laundry
operators in the neighboring
States. Horst said he knew of
several Maryland laundries which
are preparing to move into the
District trade when the minimum
wage is fixed. Both related
cheaper labor and ability to work
women longer hours in, the neigh
boring States would aid the out
of-town operators in the muscle

The "sandbagging" picture was
developed through testimony of
Calvin Cousins, colored, president
of the local laundry workers
union, and Mrs. Julia Katz, of
the Women's Trade Union League.
CHEST DRIVES
Cousins, a laundry employe,
said when Community CHI eS
drives are on 1.-The employers stick
up notice in many laundrieS,

ing workers anything. and put
slips in their pay envelopes to tell
what the deductions are for" Mrs.
Katz said she learned from in
terviews of employees that compul-
sorry contribution to such drives
was practiced in the laundrieS.
Clarence Phelps Dodge, chair
man of the conference, audibly
gaSped at this testimony. For sew
eral years he was president of the
Community Chest.
To refute these accusations, the
employer group called Melvin
Viner, vice president of Arcade

must be voluntary.

PASSAGE
Agency Bill, New Judges
Also Due for O. X.

Half a dozen new laws affecting
Washington we're on their way to
enactment today, tohugh none had
reached the President for sigma
ture. The list:
PARKING METERS
Senate and House confereeS
agreed on a plan for experimental
installation in 16 city blocks-in
the shopping district, around pub
lie buildings and elsewhere, for
the Is months ending June 80,
1898.
The House, which had baked
on the meters after the Senate
o.k'd them, is expected to go along.
The tip was that parking meter
manufacturers really want the
gadgetS tried out here so they can
take pictures of them on Wash
ington streets and use the pictures
to sell meters to other municipaH-
ties.
TAXICAB INSURANCE
Compulsory liability insurance
UP to $1,000 for injury or death to
one person and $4,000 for injury
or death to more than one person
in single accident, approved by
the Senate and the action reversed
al within half an hour yesterday.
1t still had to win approval of
Senators Bob Reynolds of North
Carolina, and Charles o. Andrews
of Florida. They wanted more
time to study Senate amendments
to the House bill prohibiting the
posting of blanket bonds by the
cab associations to cover possible
damages, and also feared the COM
pulsory insurance plan would
force the cab drivers to raise the
present 20-cent minimum. 1t was
on their objection that the bill
was held up. The rest of the Sen
ate o. KID it. The bill has passed
the House.
NEW JUDGES
It was indicated as the Senate
decided not to act on the judiciary
omnibus bill yeSterday-though
Senators all expressed themselves
as favorable-that it will be taken
up and passed very shortly.
Among additional Federal judges
provided for in the bill, for nu-
merouS districts and circuits
throughout the country, Washing
ton will get three. Two will be
added to the United States Dis
trict Court and one to the Court
of Appeals.
MILITARY ROAD
Although the War Department
was on record as believing the bill
will not accomplish the purpose
intended, in view of the long use
of the road by the public, the Sen
ate passed a bill authorizing the
War Department to lease the Sec
ton of Military Road which tray

Lamb as Center
 Of The Oven Meal

There is much to be said in favor of oven meals-they are economical of both time and money, they are easily prepared, and they can be most satisfying. But certainly the thrifty housewife need not be con- yinced of the value of oven meals; instead she is interested in knowing a wide variety of foods which can be used for oven meals. So 1nez S. Wilson, home economist, sug- payts these oven meals which are built around lamb. The main course of these may be cooked at one time in the oven. Usually this is sup plemented with crisp salad ana a dessert which in some cases can be prepared in the oven at the same tilne.

The old custom of refreshments in the afternoon-sometimes various beverages as tea or coffee, accompan- jed by delicacies of varying degrees of richness has long been with us. Indeed these occasions have been fitting climax to pleasant after noon get together or more recently to finish off an afternoon of bridge For whatever reason this custom flourishes, too rich foods may have the effect of diyerting the appetite from the evening meal which gives the more. essential foods for we'll being.
 Between meal refreshments have taken on a new significance in fac tories and offices and other places of business. For many progressive employers sat up and took notice when it was pointed out to them that their employees were less eff cient in the latter part of the morn- ing and afternoon. Before long it had been demonstrated that this was due to low ebb of energy preced- ing mealtime, and that the efficiency of employees could actually be in- creased by mid-morning and mid afternoon refreshments of a simple nature. One of the best pick ups for this purpose has been milk or milk beverage. 1t is becoming in- creasingly common to see workers in factories and offices getting their pick up" of milk from convenient dispensing machines installed on the premises.
 The homemaker with a busy schedule might well follow this ex- ample. Efficiency in performing the many tasks in the home is as i'm portant for her as for the employed members of her family in their work When the children come home from school, they too, may be in need of refueling. In fact, the afternoon play out of doors is beneficial to the child and because of the intensity of his play he may be in need of quick energy so as not to be over tired and cross before supper. The opportunity presents itself for moth CTS and children to have afternoon refreshments together.

Early
 Christmas Planning 3

It will add much to the com posture of your Christmas program If. you will sit down right now and block out the possible extras you will need for the pantry. Such staples as brown sugar ana confectioners' sugar for Christmas candies: nuts and candied cherries; dates and figs for filling; ingre- flients for the plum buildings and fruit cake which - if you have not already made them = should be put together now, without fur ther delay.
 Cooky cutters and plenty of waxed paper for wrapping these dainties will be needed, and fancy boxes which can now be found in finest assortment at the 10-cent stores. i5 Jars of olives and pickles and assorted fruits for cocktails, sauce for the sea food cocktails. Also re- plenish the stock of tid bits for the 1ors d oeuvres tray, including small cans of tuna fish, tiny sardines and small bottles of pearl onion ... just enough for one nice service, with no left-overs to be disposed of.
 Begin now to save orange and grapefruit peel for specialization, order a few packages of gelatin in assorted flavors for emergency des- serts, and you will need a cake Of bitter chocolate as well as cocoa for candy, cakes and hot chocolate sauce: also can of moist packed cocoanut for icing tea cakes and coating candies. .. Day by day you can assemble a full supply of these extras which add so much to Christmas Week; and this without confusion and without exceeding the budget. II you will order few at time.

they give us heat and strength; bulk that prevents constipation; iron that builds good blood; cal- cium that is so necessary to the formation of good teeth and bones and vitimans that build health generally.
 Try to include one of these leafy vegetables every day in the meals planned for the family: Spinach, chard, Brussels sprouts, string beans, beet greens, or a raw leafyp vegetable such as lettuce, remaine, endive, watercress, shred ded cabbage. In addition to pota- toes, have one of these vegetables every day: Tomatoes, peas, beans, celery, cauliflower, carrots, beets parsnips, turnips, onions, egg plant, 1 squash.
 Conserve the food value of veg etables by using little water and not cooking them too long. And let me repeat again save the water for soups and gravies; it contaisn so much of the minerals and salts that should not be wasted.

Recently one of our psychologi- cal authorities even went so far as to say that the large number of present-day criminals is due in part to the faulty diet given to children in runabout and adoles- cent ages. If he is correct, we mothers have indeed a heavy re- sponsibility toward our country and the world at large.
 The best way in which to in- sure a well balanced diet is to include a generous proportion of fruits and vegetables in daily meals, especially during winter. Vegetables are valuable because
