stand Monday that he called all Of
the colored witnesses by their first
names. In referring to Mrs. Neal
he designated her "Carrie."
A court room damned to capac-
ity has followed the w. Squire
Neal trial before Federal District
Judge Gunnar Nordbye which en-
tered its second week today (Thurs-
day. with w. Squire Neal on the
stand being cross-examined by AS
sistant u. S. District Attorney
Linus Hammond.
Hammond hammered and grilled
Neal persistently but failed to
change materially the defendants
testimony given on direct examina-
ton in answer to questions put to
him by his own attorney, Eugene
Rerat.
A parade of sixteen government
witnesses have taken the witness
stand in an effort by the govern
ment to convict the Twin City NOR
tician. Among them and the most
damaging were two of Meals en-
ployes, Otis F. Allen and Fred
Parkinson. Much of the states
case was evidently based on Park
inson's testimony and that of A. L.
Swanson, white, evangelist-book-
keeper who was employed by the
Neal corporation.
Otis F. Allen, bookkeeper and
secretary of the Neal Funeral
Homes, testified that the Neal
Homes chad not made a nickel
since he had been connected with
them. He also testified that John
Neal each Sunday afternoon would
come to the st. Paul home with
from two to four hundred dollars
and instruct him to deposit it in a
st. Paul bank.
In answer to Hammond's queries
concerning the provisions in the
basement of the Minneapolis Neal
Home he said the Neal basement
'resembled a small store" The
district attorney had made much
of the heavily stocked Neal larder
and the large number Of autos OPP
Grated by the Meals. Later Eugene
Rerat elected from Allen through
cross-examination the admission
that it was not unusual for a NOR
tuary to own four autos, since cars
are a part Of the necessary equip
ment of modern funeral establish
ments.
Fred Parkinson, 10-year employee
of the mortuary, recovering from
an illness, got up from a sick bed
to tell what he knew for the gov
eminent about the disappearance
of John Neal and the part Squire
Neal and himself played in trans
ferring him to the Parkinson home.
His most damaging tie tim ony
seemed to be that which alleged
Squire Neal told him that if he
phoned him and gave him certain
yelled phone instructions he was to
take Meals golf bag, which con-
tanned 5000 in currency, to his
home.
When Squire Neal took the stand
in his own behalf he refuted all of
Parkinson's and Aliens testimony
that tended to damage his defense
against the governments indict-
ment.

st. James Club
Stages Unique
Style Revue
By Joseph Albright

The c.. o. D. Club of the St.
James A. M. E. Church of st. Paul
produced a style show at the Halle
@. Brown Settlement House last
Tuesday evening that stamped it
self as an unusual and interesting
entertainment. The show, under
the direction of Mable McGavock
Lewis, was called "The History of
Styles" and cleverly portrayed the
history of feminine fashions
through the ages.
Space will not permit detailed
account of the many splendid fea-
lures of the show, so the writer
will confne his remarks to the
highlights of the production.
Chas. Miller Was M. C.
Beginning with the original style
of the legendary "fig-leaf" period
the continuity of the show brought
the style parade down to a brilliant
showing of 1888 styles. The man
nequins modelled their frocks with
grace and charm that brought ex
carnations of pleasure and appre
citation from the large crowd that
filled the auditorium. The master
of ceremonies was Charles Miller
who did a commendable job of an
nouncing the periods to be por
trayed.

The Kind Of Sandwich That
 Makes a We'll Balanced Meal
By WILDA HOYT- =

From time to time I may have said rather sharp things about those hastily snatched meals con- posed of sandwiches and some- thing sweet to drink. But please remember that at those times I was thinking of the poorly made, mis-selected sandwiches and bev- erages that I see many busy peo- pie order, expecting them to sus- tain energy throughout the day.
 There really is no reason why 8 sandwich may not be a well-bal anced meal in itself, nor why a sweet drink" hot or cold, should not also contribute 8 substantial bit to the meal. It is in the se- lection of these foods that we show wisdom or folly.
 A very nourishing and well-bal- anced sandwich is the simple com- bination of lettuce, sliced tomato. spot of dressing and bacon placed between toasted whole wheat bread or justs plain whole wheat bread slices buttered. And with such a sandwich 8 milk drink - matted milk, milk or egg chocolate either hot or cold is excellent.
 Another good combination is the chicken salad sandwich - also on whole wheat bread - with plenty of lettuce leaves tucked in between and 8 garnish of radishes or to- mato slices. With this a good fruit drink would be welcome. per haps orangeade or a grape juice punch, or one of the lime combina- tions.
 Lettuce with sliced haird-boiled egg, chopped green pepper and mayonnaise and a strip of crisp bacon is good with either whole wheat, white or rye bread. There are very satisfying foods in that sandwich - sufficient green food. sufficient energy food to provide a satisfying luncheon. Here the fruit drink is well chosen, but taste may suggest iced coffee or iced tea as more appealing. Then an order of chilled melon or berries or sliced peaches would furnish an excellent finish for the meal.
 As a rule find that sandwiches are more appetizing when they are not subjected to too much mixing. I like the different ingredients kept rather whole, as I have men,

Tempting
 Cream Soups For Summer
BY WILDA HOYT


 Forsake the heavy hot foods that belong to menus of more rigorous seasons, if you will during the mid- summer period and you will be all the better for the lighter, simpler diet. But do not entirely dispense with certain of those appetizing hot soups which are just as suitable for warm weather menus as they are in winter time.
 A continuous diet of cold foods soon becomes wearisome. The diges- tive tract craves the stimulation of a hot drink to balance the cold sandwich, or hot soup to start the flow of gastric juices, as no other type of food can do. Be, therefore, little bit more practical in the ordering of your meals, and whenever the day seems comforta- ble enough to invite 1t have a cup of clam broth topped with whipped cream sprinkled with pars- ley; or a seasonable cream soup such as this one in which two vege- table flavors are combined:
 cup cold cooked spinach
 6 small spring onions diced
 2 cups boiling water
 cups milk
 teaspoon salt
 Pepper
 2 tablespoons butter
 tablespoons flour, if thickening
 is desired.
 Cook spinach, onions and water slowly for 20 minutes, then rub through 8 sieve. Add milk and seasonings, and just before serving, the butter. This will give you deli ciously favored thin soup with just a little body contributed by the puree. For my own taste l prefer the thin milk or cream soup for summer menus. But if you like 1t slightly thicker blend one or two tablespoons of flour with the butter (according to the consistency de- sired), and mix little of the soup with 1t, stirring until smooth sauce is formed; then pour into the soup and stir contantly for several minutes until the soup has boiled up once or twice.
 Here is 8 nice recipe for turnip soup. It has delicious little tang that makes it very pleasing to jad- ed appetites: A good luncheon soup with a sandwich of chopped ham or tongue.
 Cream Turnip Soup
 Heat one quart of milk and one onion, finely minced in a double boiler. Add two cups of grated or finely chopped spring turnips and

Save the choice part of the tongue for slicing, for the cold meat platter. Use base of tongue as follows: Remove fatty part, cut meat in dice. To the liquor in which the tongue has been cooked add diced carrots, peas and new potatoes cut in halves or quar- ters. Remove carefully from liquor and keep hot in double boiler while the diced tongue Is being re- heated in the liquor. Place hot tongue in center of platter, arrange sscInd 1t little heaps of the green vegetable salternated with the po- tatoes, and serve garnished with spriss of parsley.

So 1t Is that today more thought than usual Is being given to wine recipes. You may have them from first course to last and find each equally intriguing.
 In many of the finest fish reci- pes wine is used sometimes red wine, sometimes white. This one tor naackerel is especially appetiz- ing:
 Maekerel Depoise
 Poach the mackerel fillets in white wine blended with mush- room cooking liquor. Remove to . serving dish, garnish with shrimps' tails and mushrooms, and serve with white wine sauce which is a well-seasoned fish stock favored with white wine.
 Mackerel is often preserved in wine. You may buy 1t in tins at the fine delicatessen shops and serve 1t either hot or cold, with other hors d'oeuvres in assortment, or as an appetizer by itself.
 By the epicures duck is con- sidered somewhat out of season at present, although if prepared deli cately 1t makes a very acceptable summer meat dish. There is no real reason why it should not be served occasionally as an alternate for chicken. This recipe is quite differ ent from the usual preparation of duck:
 Canard Caprice
 Cook the duck not too well done, remove the fillets and slice them 1engthWise. Place in 8 serving dish or casserole and coat with @ sauce made with Madiera wine and veal stock thickened with 8 little arrow root, and with stoned fresh cherries added.
 Into almost every famous recipe for chicken saute there is tossed @ measure of wine or brandy just be- fore finishing. For example, in this recipe:
 Chicken . Ia Beaulieu
 aaute the pieces of chicken in butter; remove the meat, rinse tho pan with white wine and veal stoek, slightly thickened to make . aauce. Dress the chicken upon a hot dish, coat with the sauce, and garnish round with artichoke bot toms, grilled tomatoes, stoned black olives and potato croquettes.
 These are suggestions which, while quite different from those found in the useual household cookbook, are not diffifult nor especially exepnsive to make. They should prove suitable for your rather special family dinners, and for occasions when you are expect ing guests.

Kitchen Comment
BY WILDA HOYT

Sometimes when you are bak- ing bread, biscuits or cake, and apparently have measured out the same amount of flour as formerly, the mixture seems stiff fer or dryer than at other times. Perhaps that is because you packed the flour too tightly into the measuring cup. The old say ing that four cups equals one pound is true only when the flour is sifted and filled very lightly into the measure. Flour packs considerably during trans portation. Always sift it before measuring.
 Instead of melting parraffin to seal jelly, have you ever tried putting small peaces of the wax in the bottom of the glass and pouring the hot jelly over it? the paraffin will melt, rise to the surface and seal the glass perfectly.
 Coffee and tea spots cling tena- clOu1ly 10 CHDlc UNeNS. 1ney can be removed by rubbing the spots with glycerine, then after about IS minutes, washing the linen in the usual way. For spots made by chocolate or cocoa, use borax and cold water.
 The odor of cooking cabbage can bo avoided by placing two Mcxacked English walnuts in the kettle while the boiling is going on. And remember cabbage is much sweeter if the water is changed during the cooking. A dash of sugar add by way of seasoning also improves the flavor.
 If you want sour milk for your baking and have only sweet milk on hand, add 2 tablespoons vine- gar to 1 cup sweet milk, let stand for . few minutes, and you will have as good results with tho baking as though real sour milk had been used.

toned them the tomato sliced quite thin, the hard-boiled eggs sliced over the lettuce and the pepper sprinkled over that in- stead of having the eggs and pep per diced together in mixed filling.
 Sandwiches of this type wherein there is a mixture of greens, meat or fish or eggs, vegetables and relishes like spring onion, cucum- Der, radishes or olives are very different, you see, from a plain ham or meat sandwich eaten with no green food complement.

Stamp Sales Up
Seven Percent
Over Last Year

Stamp sales in the Kennewick
postoffice are still showing a steady
gain, according to information re-
ceived today from Postmaster F. H.
Lincoln. He reports that the first
quarter of this year showed a gain
of seven percent over the first quar-
ter of last year and more than a ten
percent gain over the record of two
years ago. Total stamp sales for
the quarter this year amounted to
$4137.21.
Later delivery hours on the rural
routes is explained by the fact, Mr..
Lincoln says, that volume of mail
being handled is also steadily in
creasing, which has necessitated a
change from eight to $3.50 in the
leaving hour.
He also states that if any stamp
collectors did not get a supply Of
army and Navy or Hawaiian Com
memorative stamps, they can still be
purchased locally.
