Even Simple
Meal Needs
A Cocktail

It is becoming the modish
thing these days to preface even
a simple family dinner with q
cocktail and a tasty snack. The
cocktail may be tomato juice or
Sauerkraut juice o. something of
that nature, or 1t may be the
conventional slcoholic appetizer
or a glass of dry wine. Service
for this is usually in the living
room, which gives the family a
chance to assemble for a few
moments of conversational ex-
change. This livingroom service
has another advantage, for the
main course of the meal can be
brought to the table without the
need of jumping up to remove
the glasses and bring in the
plates.
The snack that goes with the
cocktail must be of the sort that
win put a sharp edge on the ap-
petite, which means that 1t must
have distinctive flavor. It can be
made most inexpensively by
spreading ground leftovers Of
meat mixed with prepared mus
tard or with chilli sauce on crack
ers or toast points, or it may be
cream cheese mixed thoroughly
with a small quantity of aniseed,
or 1t may be mashed sardine
topped with a generous fleck Of
paprika. Occasionally it is pleas
ant to have a snack that is
simply a cracker. Delicious
ones are on the market that
have caraway seed or celery
seed baked right into the crisp,
crunchy dough.

A far cry from the days of
crystal sets and ear phones is
the last minute General Electric

Add cup by cup an equal num-

their Well-Washed shells and also
slices of sausage. Finally add
two pinches Of saffron to give
the rice a yellow tint. Let the
pot cook until the rice is done,
but not too soft. Garnish with
strips of pimento and put under

Smoke Eliminated

The smokeless broiler makes
a grlled meal a frequent IA
vorlte menu. Smoke IS eIlmi-
mated and the new broller pan
is easily cleaned. 1t does an
equally good job with expensive
steak and chops or inexpensive
meats, frankfurter, or sand
wlches. A whole meal of meat,
fruits and vegetables is easily
and quickly prepared. Imagine
lamb pattles, sweet potatoes,
and bacon banana rolls all
cooked in a half hours time by
the clean hot flame and served
piping hot with hot rolls, coffee
and a green salad!

Modern Range Is Prize

The Washington Gas Light
Company is presenting one OF
these modern ranges to the
lucky winner at the Herald
Times Cooking School.
1t is remarkable that an in
animate piece of equipment like
a modern gas range can do so
much for one. The construction
of the new top burners makes
them more efficient in opera
ton and the round style is less
apt to need cleaning should a
kettle inadvertently boil over.
To add to the convenience OF
using the flexible hot gas flame,
many of the modern top burn
ers have a special simmer heat
within the regular burner. This
special simmer burner is gotten
by turning the burner cock
handle until you hear a sharp
"click !" At that point the
main part of the burner is
turned off, leaving only a small
center simmer flame. This
flame can be adjusted even
lower should one so desire.
WaterIess cooking or cooking in
gallons of water can be done
easily and efficiently with these
modern burners.
Although about 80 per cent
of our cooking is done on top
burners, every housekeeper will
agree the 20 per cent oven cook
ing is most important. The
oven prepares the roaSts, cakes,
pies and breads; in fact, the
more expensive part of the
foods we eat

Washington homes.
The Washington Gas Light
Company is also donating one
of these beautiful boxes at the
Cooking School Because they
have no moving parts they are
absolutely silent and therefore
are particularly desirable for
apartment use.
The Washington times., 1938-11-14
Insulated Oven

1t is necessary that these be
cooked to give the best finished
products possible. Which, of
course, means delicious. light,
event texture, nicely Drowned
cakes, breads and pies, as we'll
as meats that are cooked to suit
your taste without burning and
with a minimum amount Of
shrinkage.
The insulated oven of the
modern gas range produces these
superior baked and roasted foods
because it is equipped with an
automatic oven heat control.
All you do is light the oven and
set this heat control or thermo-
stat at the temperature you de.
sire and forget about the baking
until the food is ready to come
out Of the oven.
The modern gas range is
worth its weight in gold to the
inexperienced new cook. Her
mothers knowledge and expe.
rlence may prevent failures with
poor equipment. but as an expe-
rlenced, busy housekeeper, she
appreciates the additional lei
sure gained by using the mod

Now for a novel dish that
comes from Spain. We are

popular in the South.
The dish takes its name from
the iron pot or casserole in
which Spanish women folk cook
and serve it. But any iron pot

Good old hamburger is a uni

cessibility. A coast-to-coast trip
or a border-to-border trip in this
country would disclose the popu-
larity of this loWly food wher-
ever Americans foregather. Ham
burgers, essentially, of course,
are patties made of ground
beef, but many parts Of the
country have different ways of
preparing them.
In the West chopped onion
and sage are added to the meat
before it is shaped into thick
cakes for broiling or frying.
tomato catsup is poured over
the meat when it has been
cooked.
In the East, onions and mus
tard, spread over the thin cakes
before broiling, please the Gus

The South has it's own par
ticular version of this popular
food, and very good it is. too.

THERE IS NO SECURITY
EXCEPT IN STRENGTH
Security is a delusion.

Security is delusion.
The only security is i'm knowledge and
ambition
The words are those of Henry Ford,
industrial giant whose progressive meth
DDS have endeared him to millions. IN
those two sentences he strikes a theme
that should be placed before every school
child, and remembered by every adult.
Life Is not secure, and no legislation
can make it so. Success does not bring
security Laws cannot create It.
Security, as used here is not a term
that cannot be qualified. To the indi-
vidual who has no job, job might mean
security, and to the man who fears that
he will lose his job a contract might
mean security. That is true for the indi
vidual, but for the mass of mankind
there is no security except in strength
of mind and strength of character. Laws
never created either.
So it is that the thing the masses call
security must come from the strength
of a few Upon those with knowledge
and ambition" falls the task of prOVid-
ing whatever delusion of security they
can for themselves, and for others as
well. When any laws stifle the strength
and knowledge Of those few. the mileni-
um of security for everyone is farther
away than ever
SO the question arises: "Who are the
few"
They are individuals who have arisen
from the masses because of their
strength of mind and of character. You,
or anyone else might be one of the
few" That is the truly great thing about
American democracy.
The world needs more strength, and
less grasping after false security
somebody else is expected to provide.
No man can be secure in any degree un-
less he makes himself So

THE RADIO, THE PRESS
AND CENSORSHIP
THE RADIO, THE PRESS

THE RADIO, THE PRESS
Senator Sherman Minton, New Deal
Democrat from Indiana, made a very
GOOD case for himself when he introduc-
ed a bill in congress providing for felony
laws to prevent circulation in the United
States of false news. He also spoke very
convincingly, if little heatedly, against
newspapers in general.
If the newspapers deserved what Sen.
Minton said, none of them would have
printed an account of his speech. Prac-
ticallv every morning paper in the United
States did print an account of It. That's
one trouble-or one great thing-aoout
newspapers. They follow code of ethics
that makes them take it on the chm
through their own columns.
Trouble with the senator's plan IS
that there are already laws in this coun-
fry. and very good ones, preventing clf-
cnlation of false news. If he was talking
about circulation of opinions, through
such editorial columns as this one-then
Cod forbid that he ever has his way.
When opinion is suppressed, Democracy
will be ended.
The senator resented criticism OF ra-
d;o as political organ. The trouble
with radio is not that it is used for poll
ticaI speeches. The trouble is that,
through licensing, the federal govern
ment controls radio and so can control
the kind of political speeches that are
made over the air.

NEW FAULT FINDINGS
IN CALIFORNIA
Riverside Press

(Riyersde Press
Earth tremors recently recorded in the
southeastern part of California divert
attention to the San Andreas fault, to
which was traced the San Francisco
earthquake of 1906 and other minor dis
turbanceS.
This fault, which passes through Riv-
erside county, Is very young, geologicalIy
speaking. according to \. l.. Tallaferro,
associate professor of geology Of the
University of California. whose findings
were included n a paper presented to
the annual meeting Of the cordilleran
section of the Geological Society Of Am
erica. meeting recently on the Stanford
university campus.
His conclusions were reached after
ten years of mapping in the central
coast ranges and three summers spent
along a forty-mile stretch Of the San
Andreas fault north of Parkfield. The
major fault system from the Pacific
ocean to the San Joaquin valley develop
ed in the late Pliocene and Pleistocene
eras. some millions of years ago. These
faults. it is explained are thrusts, usual
" the stretched and broken lines of
anticlines. which are folded arches of
rock stratas.
While the age of the fault has not
been determined. it runs into the thou
sands rather than the millions OF years.
Professor Taliafero's findings are con
trary to the generally accepted views
regarding this fault.

A LITTLE JUSTICE, PLEASE
lWall Street Journal)

(Wall Street Journal)
The interim report Of the La Jolla
Civil Liberties Committee Of the Senate
i'm connection with a request for more
funds describes various alleged abuses OF
individual rights by employers. This
no more than would be expected, con-
sidering the personnel Of the commit
tee. its method of taking hearings and
more particularly its general approach
to the whole subject of labor relations.
Without an exhaustive analysis OF each
case as it is described by the committee
or its spokesmen it is impossible to say
whether. collectively and severally, these
findings are justified by the facts. But
II is evident that whatever the evidence
of EMPLOYER violation of labor rights, no
effort has been made by tbs committee
to uncover violations of individual rights
bv labor organizations. No evidence has
been adduced. and hearings. so lar as ap
pears. have not been designed at any tiihe
to get at coercion or denial of constltu-
tional rights of individuals or corpora
tions in business.
# NAV be argued that this is not the
Troner sphere of the LaFOllette commit
tee; that the purpose OF TINS Doay IS
simply to dig up evidence to Justify eN-
tension of the Wagner Act or similar Ia
bor legislation. Such an excuse, II Ifue'
merely points to the necessity OF par

indicate the necessity of making the Wag-
ner Act not broader, but more equitable
