Heat in 8 double boiler and add enough rice white sauce to make of the consistency of cream soup. A little at 8 time add two table spoons of butter and color with the lobster coral which has been dried and pounded to 8 powder. Serve croutons with the bisuue.
 Many think that the hearty Thanksgiving dinner calls for the simplest kind of salad. And if one is going to serve gigantic portions, undoubtedly this is true. But if you've an idea of making the tur- key and trimmings go as far as pos- sible, it is sometimes wise to intro- duce a salad that is not only a nice surprise, but also adds consider ably to the satisfaction of the meal. Such salad is this one, combining alligator pears, cooked chestnuts and grapefruit.
 Avocado and Chestnut Salad
 Peel alligator pears and cut them in rings around the seed. Arrange a ring of pear on each bed of let tuce and fill the center with cooked chestnuts cut in small pieces and mixed with grapefruit sections cut in quarters. Dress with mayonnaise seasoned with little finely chopped pimiento and green pepper.

Some Good Reasons For Eating
 Plenty Cranberris And Pumpkin
By WILDA HOYT

When the temptations of our an- nual feast day surrounds us it is hard to concentrate upon what the days diet should or should not con- tain. Instead of querying the rela- tive merits and dangers of Thanks giving dinner with its over-abund- ance of good things, let us be glad that the specialties make a im- portant contribution in the way of minerals and other elements that are distinct asset to health.
 The question of over-eating can easily be settled by taking less of the commonplace foods, such as bread, potatoes and little extras so that each of the Thanksgiving spe- cialties will have its fair, chance to be heard.
 For moment, concentrate on cran- berries and pumpkin, without which there would be no typical Thanks giving feast. It is said that cram berries were growing wild in Mas sachusetts when the Pilgrims land- ed. The Indians used them fresh, and dried them for their winter stores.
 In the modern diet we know that cranberrieS contain high percent age of iodine and also calcium, the mineral that gives vitality and en- durance, and is necessary to the maintenance of bone structure.
 Of the pumpkin even more may be said, for it is fairly high in vita min A, in carbohydrate content, and the autumn and winter varieties are rich in calcium, iron and phosphorus.
 The fresh fruit is always desir- able, but today cannde cranberries and canned pumpkin are excellent in flavor and when used in recipes can hardly be detected from fresh product. Evaporated cranberries re- tain both color and flavor very well; so does the dried pumpkin. In both cases the food value is practically the same as in the fresh fruit; and both forms are good for cranberry sauce and jelly, fruit cups and sher- bets, and for pumpkin pies.
 When we add to cranberrieS an- other fruit as rich in iron and ener- gy as are raisins, there is an extra measure of goodness, both in flavor and food value. The mellow sweet ness of the raisins is welcome with this tart fruit. Try the combina- tion in the form of dainty little tartS to be served for luncheon, with hot turkey sandwich; or for supper, fol- lowing baked turkey hash.
 Tarts with the thinnest strips of pastry criss-crossed over the top are more interesting than plain tarts.

few, if any changes in the courses mentioned. But if in ad- dition to the mainstays we can put in . new dish, our interest in the meal is quite naturally increased.
 If the first course is of fruit, it is very nice to have seafood soup, either clam or oyster bisQue, or even bisque of lobster.
 Oyster Bisque
 Scald one quart oysters in their own juice. Remove oysters, chop much as possible through a sieve Blend one tablespoon of butter with one tablespoon fioIlr and add the oyster juice, mixing until smooth. Add the oyster pump, season with pepper, salt and paprika, and keep hot until ready to serve. Just be- fore serving add a cup of cream, whipped. Beat it well into the soup.
 Bisque of Lobster

CRANBERRY MOLD
 TRAILS TURKEY
Next in Importance to the Bird Is This Piquant
 Accompaniment

When Thanksgiving time rolls around, the shining kitchens of big city hotels lose something of their cosmopolitan atmosphere and begin to give forth the same honey odors that float out of model suburban kitchens and sprawling farm kitch- ems alike during this astronomical ly. exciting season. For in this coun- try, turkey is king whether exper- fenced cooks plan holiday menus in Vermont farm houses or nationally famous hotels.
 Next in culinary importance to the turkey, bearing the rank of crown prince at the feast is the cranberry, whose royal lineage dates back to the first Plymouth Thanks giving dinner. Together, turkey and cranberrieS form common appe- tite denominator among Americans of all ages, backgrounds and en- vironments.
 It is interesting to know, however that the cranberry can wear as many varied faces as the imagina- tion conceives. For the guests of the famous Waldorf Astoria in New York City, Gabriel Lugot, executive chef-de-cuisine of the enormous hotel, has devised a new cranberry recipe that will be served in the many dining rooms of tn Waldorf during Thanksgiving week. His |molded cranberry jelly is a deep rich garnet color. M. Lugot likes his cranberry mold tart, so he has used more cranberries and less sugar than the standard American reci- pc calls for. True to the best French cookery traditions, he insists that fowl needs a good tangy relish to bring out its most subtle taStiness Here is his recipe:
 Lugot's Nodded Cranberry Jelly
 2 quarts @ cups) of fresh cran-
 berries
 2 cups of water
 2 cups of sugar
 Cook cranberrieS in water until soft. Add sugar, bring to the boiling point and cook until drop jells on cold plate. The intensity of heat in your stove will vary the length of this cooking time. Strain. Poui into wet mold and chill until firm Unmold for serving.
 Chef Lugot also suggests decor ative garnish for the turkey plat ter. He has his young assistants scoop out halves of oranges and fill the orange skins with 10-minute cranberry sauce; then circles the bird with the colorful trimming.
 Ten Minute Cranberry Sauce 11a cups of sugar
 cups of water
 l pound (4 cups) of fresh cran- berries
 Boil sugar and water together $ minutes. Add cranberries and boi without stirring until all the skins pop open 6 minutes is usually suf- ficient.) Remove from fire and al low the sauce to remain in the ves- sel until cool. One pound of frest cranberries makes 2h pounds oi sauce.

There is also another version which is baked between two crusts.
 Cranberry -Raisin Pie
 Chop one cup of cranberries and half cup of seeded raisins; add one cup of sugar, half cup water, one tablespoon flour and a little vanilla Use as filling for a double.crust pie and bake as you would a cherry pie
 Pumpkin Custard Pie
 To two and half cups canned pumpkin add two cups rich milk, one tablespoon butter, one tablespoon molasses, one teaspon each of salt cinnamon and ground ginger. Mix well and add two well beaten eggs and sugar to taste. Pour into an open crust and bake slowly for 40 to 50 minutes. Serve plain, with cheese or with an icing of whipped cream favored with brandy.

Household
 Hints, Helps

You may not care particularly for bouillon made from cubes alone-but you will find that a cup of consomme made from the cubes and used as stock to finish 8 sauce or. gravy adds greatly to the flavor of the sauce.
 Smartly designed oilcloths al- ready pinked out ready to be turned into instantaneous cur tains are being shown for use at kitchen windows. They come in dull, silky finish and in amaz- ingly lovely colors and patterns.
 Save the stems of mushrooms, scrap them and slice them finely and saute them. They will give a delightful flavor when added to gravies, to creamed limas, peas, carrots or escalloped eggplant. Do not count your kitchen equipment complete until you have on the shelf beside the pep- per and salt shaker 6 larger shaker for sugar. This for the French pancakes which yot butter as you bake them, for the cinna- mon toast. seasoning vegetables and such.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN
 -COTIP

Cut a chicken in pieces and place in kettle with two quarts of cold water; when it comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for three hours. Add two sticks eel cry, a half onion, sliced, a branch of parsley and half cup rice, and simmer until rice is tender. Let stand until grease can be skinned off the top. Remove meat, celery, onion and parsley. Dice one cup of the meat and return to the soup. Thicken very slightly with cornstarch, add little cream, cook for five minutes and serve at once.

Penguins Practically Helpless

Penguins are so aquatic they are
practically helpless on land. The
wings are too small for support and
are best described as fiippers. Cow
cred with tiny scale-like feathers,
they use them to propel them
through and beneath the water and
when we say they fly under water
we are not exaggerating, for it is
possible for them to outswim even
fish, says a writer in the Los An
geles Times. They pick out the most
isolated islands in the Antarctic
where they are safe from attack, re-
turning each season to the some
spots. Sociable, easily tanned. they
stay in clans. There are severalvari-
cites, varying mainly in color and
size and style of beak. Some have
the ability to jump or leap as much
as three to four feet out of the water
to land on an ice-foe or rock.

Praying Mantis Relative
of the Busy Grasshopper

The praying mantis, which de-
stroys harmful insects, is relative
of the grasshopper, according to an
authority in the New York World
Telegram.
The grasshopper eats plants. But
this does not suit the mantis-he
must eat meat. The mantis is can
nibaL 1t thinks nothing Of eating
its own kind. The female has been
known to eat the male after the
mating is over and the male is no
longer of any usefulness in preserv-
ing the race.
The female is larger than the
male. It is claimed that the mantiS
can paralyze its victim with fright.
This is easy to understand because
of its enormous size in contrast to
the size of the insects which make
up its food supply.
The mantis rears itself by means
of the hinges in its back and holds
its arms aloft- 1t then remains mo-
tionless. When a luckless beetle
flies past the mantis reaches out
with surprising swiftness, in COM
parison to its usual slowness in mo-
ton, and strikes with one arm. Now,
the arms are lined with barbs and
have no difficulty in capturing and
holding the choice morseL
The luckless insect cannot get
away, no matter how it tries. Some
times the mantis sits as if in pray-
er. Suddenly it sees an insect ap-
preaching, rises to full height, puts
out an arm, throws wide its wings.
The mantis is thus so frightful to
its victim that it is paralyzed and
falls an easy prey to the powerful
ogre. That the mantis feeds on 9TH
er insects makes it boon to man.

Draconian Laws in Greece

The Draconian laws in ancient
Greece are noteworthy primarily
for their cruelty. The death penalty
was attached to almost all crimes,
even the petty ones. This code Of
Draco is said to have made the first
legal distinction between voluntary
and involuntary homicide and to
have made murderer liable to pun
ishment by the state. Theft was made
punishable by death and debt ex-
posed a man to the danger of slav-
cry. The 81 ephetae or special
judges were probably Draco's crea-
ton.

Regulation of Speed Is
Found to Date to 1878

Speed regulations in America date
back, not to the advent of the motor
vehicle, but to the year 1878, and
the first accident ascribable to too
fast for conditions" In Newport
R. l., a child was run down by an
equestrian and there was great pub
Lie indignation.
The first vehicle weight law
seemed to have been a brain child
Of Napoleon Bonaparte, for on May
10, 1902, he proclaimed law which
fixed a precedent later followed in
connection with commercial We
hicles. 1t specified, notes a writer
in the New York Herald Tribune,
that wagons used for traction and
commerce" be limited to four and
one-haf tons if they had four
wheels, and two and one-haH tons
if only two wheels. Physics being
the unchanging science it is, it was
recognized even in that distant day
that the more points over which a
load was spread the less damage
the vehicle would do to the high
way. Commercial vehicles may
have six or eight wheels but the
principle set forth by the Little
Corporal still governs them.
BY 1929 the seemingly ultra-mod-
ern problem, the overloaded COM
mercial vehicle, had risen to vex
and almost vanquish the king of the
Netherlands. But the king was not
going to have his subjects roads
ruined just to accommodate the self.
ishness of a commercial trucker.
So he ordered his officers to check
the weight Of stage coaches and
draught vehicles once a month and
if any were found overweight, the
owner might go on jail ration if he
couldn't pay his fine.

Mysterious silva Just an
Oasis in Libyan Desert

The inhabitants of silva, a mys-
terious oasis in the Libyan desert
whose beehive dwellings, built Of
mud bricks. rock salt and stone,
and from which ancient temples
prise, tier on tier, sometimes reach
ing a height of almost 200 feet, first
came under Egyptian influence in
1000 B. c. The diety. Jupiter Anon,
whose predictions were here re-
vealed to the suppliant by the
priests of the innermost shrine was
a god of oracles. Kings and queens
gladly sought his favor.
Alexander the Great, hearing that
kings in Egypt were considered di-
vine. besought the oracle at silva in
33l B. c. to defy him. He could
then by divine right, as son Of Zeus,
impose his tyrannies on his SUBJ
jects. With deep mystery the cere-
mony was carried out in the temple
by the priests and Alexander was
decorated with the horns of a ram,
the sign of Anon the ram-headed.
and was invested as a Pharaoh. He
returned to Egypt stamped as the
authentic son of Zeus. Cleopatra
personally sought guidance from the
oracle concerning the entangled af-
fairs Of her heart and state. She
came to silva from Rome after the
murder Of Julius Caesar, seeking an
omen Of divine aid.
The temple is in ruins, but walls
still reveal the bright blue pigments
seen in relief work on the monu-
ments of Egypt.
The high, honey-combed, mud
walled town Of silva is like a fairy
castle, built on two great rocks in
the center of the oasis.
Instead of spreading out their
town, the Swans have built one
house on top Of another, and this
has been kept up until they reach
a dizzy height. 1t is quite custom
airy for a son to build his house on
the top Of the house of his father.

Cyrano de Bergerac, Author

Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac was
a French author, born in 1919. He
was distinguished for his courage in
the field and for the number of his
duels, more than thousand, most
of them fought on account Of his
monstrously large nose. His writ
ings include tragedy, "Agrippine,"
and comedy, The Pedant
Tricked," from which Corneille and
Moliere have freely borrowed ideas.
He was made the hero of Edmond
Rostand's famous drama bearing
his name.
