BROWN CALLS
ALL HIS AIDES
IN CONFERENCE
Two More Injured Here
Die During Night

Seeking a solution for the ever
growing traffic problem, Major
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
Of police, called a meeting Of all
inspectors and precinct captains
at his office today.
The already complicated traffic
situation will become further in
volved in the next few days when
new parking restrictions go into
effect, and just what steps police
will take to enforce the new laws
will be discussed at today's meet
ing.
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Police officials have stated pub
lically they have not sufficient
officers to enforce existing legisla-
tion, let alone new laws. and the
problem of enforcement is serious.
Steps to reduce the constantly
increasing number of accidents
and traffic fatalities also will be
discussed.
Two persons injured in auto
mobile accidents outside the city,
died in hospital; during the night.
Louis A. Sommer, "a, private
in the 18th Infantry at Fort How
ard, Md, died at Walter Reed
Hospital of injuries received
August 18 on the highway near
Baltimore. He was treated at the
post hospital, then transferred to
Walter Reed in an Army ambu-
lance.
GIRL, !, KILLED
Fredrica Hedgeman, 7, Of Baileys
Cross Roads, Va, suffered internal
injuries when an automobile in
which she was riding was in col
lision with another machine on
the Lee Highway, near Falls
Church, last night. She was
brought to Georgetown Hospital
where she died shortly after ad-
mission.
The child's grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. Trent Hedgemaa, who
were also in the car, were treated
at the hospital for slight injuries,
and later returned to their home.

Your Reducing Menus

BY selecting the foods which give
the greatest amount with the least
calories, generous diet can be ar
ranged which will satisfy the de-
mands of ones appetite, at the same
time keeping down the Galleries.
Vegetables, fruit lean meat In small
quantities, whole milk, skim milk
and buttermilk, cottage cheese, can
all be taken in sufficient amounts
to satisfy the appetite.
This is also most healthful diet,
and will result in good complexion
and an alert mind and body.
Another important factor is in
dividing the food into 3 meals Of
nearly equal amount. often hear
women who are trying to reduce
say proudly that they have eaten no
breakfast and only a bit Of lunch.
This is very foolish, because they
are bound to eat more than they
should at dinner, unless they starve
themselves. If the body is consid-
cred as a stove or a machine which
we want to keep running smooth
ly, we should realize that it must
receive a certain amount Of food at
regular intervals to keep it In good
condition, and it is the opinion of
nutrition experts that three times
a day is best for most people.

They may be split crosswise and
broiled and served with lemon but
ter, or they may be creamed and
served on toast.
A Splendid Dish

My favorite method is as follows:
After sweetbread is parboiled and
allowed to cool, separate sections
and remove all skin. Roll IN flour
and season with salt, pepper and
paprika. Brown lightly in butter
and add cup Of the water in which
they were cooked. Let cook gently
several minutes. Add Y cup cream
and thicken with flour, if necessary
Place in casserole, sprinkle with
bread crumbs, dot with butter and
heat through in oven until the
crumbs are nicely Drowned. Hard
boiled eggs, peas or mushrooms may
be added to this If desired. Instead
of baking, it may be served on toast
at once, or it is an excellent filling
for a spinach or vegetable ring.

To ParbOil Sweetbreads

They should be removed from
paper as soon as brought from the
market and plunged into cold wa
ter and allowed to stand for an
hour. They may then be skinned
partially and the undesirable parts
removed. They then are placed In
boiling sailed water to which Is
added q little lemon juice or vine
gar which makes them firm. Cook
them for IS or 20 minutes, remove
them to cold water again, saving
the liquor In which they were boil
ed, which makes delicious gravy.
They are now ready to prepare In
many different ways.

A Meaty Delicacy

Sweet breads are considered q
great delicacy with those who are
familiar with them. They are the
thymus gland of the calf, and
along with other organic parts Of
animals such as the kidney, liver,
brains, ETC., are very high in vita
min content. They are rather
scarce, as only two are found in a
calf. Not all calves have them as
they begin to disappear when the
calf is taken from liquid food. They
are especially good for convalescent
diets and can be prepared in many
appetizing ways. s.-

Rifles Used In Civil War

A great variety Of arms were In
use during the Civil war. The per-
cussion principle was applied to
many Of the fintlocks In the pos
session Of the government. and the
muskets and rifles made In the gov
eminent armories were adapted to
that style Of ignition. Breechload-
ing rifles, carbines, several types OF
repeating arms and foreign weap-
ons were also used.

Safe Reducing

Many persons who are interested
In keeping their weight down have
an erroneous idea Of the caloric
value Of certain foods. For instance.
many think that rye crackers or So
da crackers are less fattening than
bread. The fact Of the matter Is
that three rye crackers equal q 80
gram slice Of bread in food value.
Four plain crackers are equal to l
slice Of bread, also. It requires 8
slices Of Melba toast to equal 80
gram slice Of bread. so II not butter
is used, saving in calories can be
accomplished there.

out leaving a sleezy, thin
spread. The colors are not

Style Scene
LmpreSSlve
By JOSEPHINE HUGHES

A ND so it comes to an end
"A this first" week of May
fairs first" fall openings! If
you've read Cholly Knicker-
booker each day (and we're sure
you have) you know by now ex-
actly who turned up at Eddie
Duchin's brilliant opening at the
PlaZa'S Persian Room; you also
know exactly who did the "Palais
Glide" at Serge Obolensky's
gala" to usher in the new sea-
son at the st. Regis "Maisonette
Russo"
You've also learned who was
with whom at the important
Broadway first nights" and
last, but certainly not least, you
know all the social "lowdown"
on John Perona's famous festi-
val, celebrating the new" sea-
son at the newly" decorated
Ell Morocco. Yes, indeed. our
noble confrere has reported all
these glamorous "doings" in his
own inimitable style and, today,
this fashion department comes
trailing along to put in our two
cents worth about what we think
of the 1888 winter style scene
in action.
'Tis quite true that we've seen
these very same fashions in
"Still'' sets in the shops, but the
test final of any modish trend
is who actually" wears what
so here it goes!
First and foremost, with all
this talk of color the evening
scene is still, like Gaul, divided
into three parts-black, white,
and then color! At the st.
Regis, for example, Mrs. William
K. Vanderbilt was an outStand-
ing figure in a divine black vel
vet gown with a wide band Of
taffeta flashing round the full
skirt. Narrow, narrow straps
held the extreme decolletage,
and ruby and diamond bracelets
sparkled on each wrist. The
very youthful looking Mrs. T.
Markoe Robertson was another,
this same night, to favor dead
black; her velvet gown detailed
with short puffed sleeves, a flat
tering oval neckline, and a great.
full skirt.

Advice to LoveIorn:
:OuQrreLSOme
But Fond
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been going steady" with q
young man 1 met down at the
office where am employed. I'm
20 and he is %. and we've been
going together almost three
years now. But we haven't set
a wedding date, because his
work is only temporary and he
may be laid off any day now.
We see each other every day.
However, here's the problem
he doesn't like my friends, and
I don't like those of his I've
met. He always wants to be
alone with me, and consequently
we quarrel almost every evening.
We both love each other
there's no doubt about that.
But should we marry under
these difficulties?
WONDERING.
I'd suggest you get those diff
ferences, about each others
friends, ironed out before you
think of getting married. After
you marry, it's more than likely
you'll have to see more Of his
friends than you do now. And
you will want your friends to
come over too. To be really sue
ceSsful, marriage should not be
a closed corporation. If he's go
ing to object to your friendS,
and you object to his, there's
bound to be. trouble. Try to stop
your quarreling. Because one
may break you up.
X X X
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Jack and I are engaged to be
married. He's very fond Of
children, while to me they're
only bowling bratS. What do
you think? Is it a good idea
for girl, who despiSes babies,
to marry?
BACHELOR GIRL
No, it's a great mistake. How.
ever, don't let that keep you
from marrying. When you have
your own baby, it won't be a
bowling brat" like other peo-
pies babies seem to you. It will
be a beautiful, adorable, faSci.
