Sandwiches For
Afternoons And
Out Of Doors

The woman who has a yard is
very fortunate in that she is able
to entertain her friends under
some nice shady tree and serve
tiny little sandwiches with cooling
drinks on clever little garden
tables. However, it doesn't mean
that the woman living in an apart
ment can't do the same sort of en-
tertalning, she must just serve her
friends indoors. But whether in or
out, these little sandwiches will be
very popular.

For Vegetable Plate
Center Here Is A
Four Decked Egg Plant

With nothing special in the
house with which to prepare a
hurried meal against unexpected
company, necessity turned out
once more TO be able to produce in
yentiveness.
An egg plant was hanging
plump and ripe within its little
bush. (yours might be in the vege-
table basket). A big fat onion
rested cozily in bag with his
brothers. A huge tomato lay on the
window sill where it had ripened
at leisure.
Each of the three was sliced into
a convenient cart wheel collection,
running about quarter OF an inch
thick. The egg plant is soaked IN
salted water for 10 minutes. Then
on top of a slice of egg plant went
the slice of onion and on top of
that the slice of tomato, then an
other slice of tomato, then another
slice of egg plant. Salt and pepper
were sprinkled on. A few slices of
bacon were laid over the top. The
whole thing, fastened together
with tooth picks was set into a
baking dish. And figuring one of
these four deckers for each person
to be served, into the oven they
went, coming out in due time
tender and delicious. A cream
sauce and grated cheese were
added. A can of baked beans was
heated and opened and spoonful
added to each service plate. A can
of asparagus tips lent touch of
cold vegetable. Luncheon was
ready. Try it!

Potato Preparation
Really So Simple

There is no real reason whv a
housewife should get the blues
when the subject of potatoes for
supper is brought before her.
The manner of preparation of
potatoes depends largely on the
likes and dislikes OF her family
ana she is smart to make and keep
on hand a sort of a chart OF the
types of potatoes the family likes
and which makes the best accom-
panlment for what. For example:
tried potatoes with roast duck.
broiled potatoes with fried liver
and baked potatoes with broiled
chops.Plus many others.
Here is a perfectly grand accom-
paniment for broiled or fried
steaks that will make nice
change from the usual French
fries. This dish calls for
. potatoes, medium sized
"a pound American cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Peel and slice the potatoes in
rather thin slices. Slice the Ameri-
can cheese and lay aside.
Heat we'll creased frying pan.
When hot, add half the potatoes,
cover with American cheese, then
cover with the remaining sliced
potatoes. Fry over low flame for
about fifteen or twenty minutes.
Loosen any potatoes that may
have stuck on the bottom Of the
pan with spatula, then place a
plate over the potatoes and turn
so that the Drowned side is now on
top. Cover the pan and place in a
moderate oven and bake for from
30 to 40 minutes or until potatoes
are done. When done, turn out on
a hot dish, salt well and serve
piping hot. This is sufficient for
four servings.

~ is reported that Norma

eted role of Scarlet O'Hara"
in "Gone With the Wind" now
wants the story changed. It's
said that she feels that the
heroine's character, in the last
half of the book, is unsympa-

To do this would be to ruin the
character and spoil the story, of
course-and the result would be
that thousands of motion picture
fans who liked the book and have
taken real interest in the casting
of the picture would be furious.

The planning of the meals for
housecleaning time needs special
consideration. In order to serve the
usual satisfying meals without
taking too much time from the
housecleaning, it is we'll to select
foods which may be prepared
easily and which may be cooked
without any particular attention
during the process of cooking,
such as baked casserole dishes. The
alternative is to choose dishes
which may be cooked quickly just
before serving, such as chops and
eggs and quick puddings.
Woolen garments rarely need
ironing. If any pressing is neces-
sary,it must be done only with
warm iron.
Try mixing the ingredients for
ginger cookies with cold coffee in
stead of water. It certainly does
improve them.

Touring Abroad

Seven thousand American tourists took their cars to Europe last year, reports the president of the American Automobile Association. Though few compared with the total number of motorists in the United States, as self-transporting tour ists they have influenced highway cus- toms abroad. Driving on the right is now the rule in all of Europe except Great Britain, Sweden and Denmark. Why those three hold out is hard to say.
 Motoring Americans have caused other changes. By driving their own cars, they are able to leave the more familiar tour ist trails They can visit the smaller, out-of-the-way places, and in so doing they scatter the profits of the tourists business over wider area.
 If Europe could get it's mind off it's racial rivalries, it's nationalisms and war preparations, and cultivate both it's an- cient picturesqueness and new interest in peace, it would soon have such a prof itable business caused by Americans driv- ing around that the natives themselves could buy and enjoy more cars.

Modern Trucks

The National Motor Truck Show in New York held its own very well in competi- tion with the passenger car shows. It was the largest show of commercial vehi- cleS ever assembled Tn fact, the general manager had to make his rounds among the extensive exhibits on bicycle. The messenger girls used roller skates.
 The show had more than bignesS. It offered much that is new in this field, in metals, in body design, engines and all the rest. Great success has attended the effort to reduce weight of trucks. There was one trailer body called the feather weight which was 1000 pounds lighter than its predecessors. This was achieved by adapting light but strong airplane construction methods. A big new bus saves 5000 pounds of net weight by use of Dow metal, a magnesium alloy. Weight is important these days, as trucks face increasingly severe regulatory laws. Every pound of weight saved in the truck itself, without loss of strength, means an addi- tional pound of pay load
 There was lot of fascinating new equipment in the show, too, such as un- loading slings on a beer truck and streamlined wrecker with a great variety of special devices for emergency jobs. BuSSes have more shoulder and knee room for passengers and more Shatter-proo glass There are Diesel engines of var ious types and other motor innovations And almost all the trucks and busses are better looking, keeping up nicely with the passenger car in this respect.

in the Townsend, California and crease production. The taking of purchasing power away from one individual and giving 1t to another does not increase the total purchas- ing power.
 Such transfer of purchasing power through pensions would ma terially increase unemployment for several years. In the long run the most serious consequence would be the imposition of such heavy tax burden on the working man, with a family to support, as to place him on a bare subsistence basis. Fur thermore, the burden of taxation on those in the middle and higher in- come brackets would still further decrease initiative and the supply of capital available for investment in business and industry, thus de- creasing employment and lowering the standard of living for all.
 The great bulk of the tax burden necessary to support these pro- posed liberal pensions must come out of the pockets of the average man. By what right can the public compel working people to forego the use of current income in order that they may enjoy liberal pensions if they live long enough to qualify? Also, by what right can we force workers of this generation to pay liberal pensions to those who, within their working lives, were not con- pelled to pay similar taxes?
 The problem of old age depend ency is 8 bitter one. It cannot be solved by attempting to distribute more by producing less. This is just common sense.
 False prophets always urge us to take money away from one group of society and give it to another. They hope to create the illusion that something has been added to our wealth by so doing. It does noth- ing of the kind, unless it creates something. Some of these attempts and some of the pump priming ac- tivities may be justified as tempo rary devices to prevent impending starvation and suffering. The huge debt being created, in addition to the immediate burdens imposed, is the more unjust because it is go- ing to be paid of by our children or grandchildren, or be repudiated through imitation.
 The road to progres must neces- sarily be slow. It can be furthered only by. encouraging every man to support himself. This is the sure road and fortunately, in the long run, it is the happiest.

Bv Way of Aftermath

Sound and fury of protest over highway conditions in Waterbury, BrlogeporC' Hartford, New Haven, and many other cities in this section of the country, melt ed away yesterday and today. warmer weather, rain and fog, succeeded the freezing which had formed icy ruts III streets and had slowed traffic, shortened tempers, formed basis for political aouse'
 Nature provided the panacea Whlch the Republican and American III Water- hl1rv had called for from the street de- partment without regard for tact tnaG non-payment of the city'S contractua1 truckers over long periods caused street. department officials to obtaln assurance from the finance board that funds would be available and forthcoming before extra trucks for snow clearing were hired.
 Like the woman in the Pullman who moaned half the night for drink ot wa ter, obtaining it from the porter, moaneo the rest of the night about how dry she was. the Republican and American today continues its dissemination of news" about how awful were conditions on Wa terbury streets before Saturday nights rain melted away the ice.
 Caught in untruth relating to several snow removal jobs in specified areas ot the city, principally the driveway front ing the west end of the city hall by the Bronson library, the Republican merely prints denial by James R. McMahon, as Sistant superintendent of streets, that the street department did the job. For the information of the Republican, it is stated that the park department ordinarily clears this area And for the further ln- formation of the Republican, it might be noted that Field street, which the Repub- lican attack described as having been one of the first streets cleared, did not get attention until days after the double" storm which caused the Republicans be- lated concern.
 Obviously, the snow removal following the recent storms has not been one small proportion as effective as it was in those years when the Republican and Amer1- can shouted about the "over-manning" of the street department. Time was when men on relief, when unemployed heads of families found in snow storms oppor- tunity to get bit of money by working for it.
 That was before the Republican and American had taken over control of the controllers office by politically-disposed propaganda. That was before the present CId W1lCIl u uCAC1S dA1u d1OdSC SOA4CCCOAo D wait months for the money due them and the street department, depleted in per Sonnel to maintenance minimum, cannot give the contractual truckers assurance that they will be paid.
 Evidence of how biased has been the Republican and Americans series of news editorials"is is the Sunday morning addenda in Hartford dispatch to the local sheet which reported general traf- fife tie-ups, 10 accidents, bus and trolley service disrupted, cars moving at. 10 miles an hour-no mention of the Hartford street department in all this outlining of what happens when nature gets really tough.
