Saute mushrooms in butter. Add

Outlets and croquettes made of

frying in lard or any other short
ening is wholesome and simple If
you follow the rules.
Temperatures for deep-fat fry
ing: the temperature should be hot
enough to bring about quick
browning of the surface. This pre-
vents undue fat absorption.
On the other hand, the tempera-
ture should not be so high that

the latter being a substance irri-
tating to eyes, nose and throat.
A smoking fat. therefore, is al
ways too hot for frying any type
of food material and should never
be used as a test for telling when
the fat is hot enough. The Their
mometer is the easiest and surest
way of telling when fat is hot
enough for frying the particular
food. No food product needs a
higher frying temperature than
$50 degrees F., and most foods
can be fried at lower tempera-
lures. The smoking point of lard
is above this temperature.
In general. uncooked foods. such
as doughnuts, are fried at the
lower temperature. while cooked
foods, such as croquettes which
only require relocating. may be
fried at a somewhat higher tenn
perature.

The Fx-Nife


Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
vas divorced two years before !
even knew him. His first wife
does not live in this town and
have never even seen her. How
ever. she makes her presence felt
twice year by sending my hus-
band presents at Christmas and on
his birthday. I think he should
refuse to accept these gifts but l
have never said anything at all 10
him about them. I'm sure he must
acknowledge them but about that
I've never even spoken to him.
didn't want to make a scene so
that in future he might keep
things from me. l wish of course
there were some way I could make
my husband understand that I
think his past should be kept out
of our present. and that continuing
this way is unfair TO me. Perhaps
II you'll write something about this
situation, presenting sides as you
really see them. il would help both
of us to know what to do and how
to go about it.
Answer: If your husband is
himself glad to receive them, there
is no reason why he should refuse
his first wife's gifts. unless he
knows that his doing so distresses
you. In other words. If you tell
him that this upsets you, then
your feelings are sufficient excuse
for his asking her not to send any
more. There is no doubt what
ever but that he owes his present
allegiance to you. and that for
mer marriage must never be al
lowed to infringe upon the rights
to happiness of the present one.
Marking Blankets
Dear Mrs. Post: I'm having a
pair of blankets marked with my
niece'S initials and am giving these
TO her as wedding present. We're
not altogether sure about the ini-
tails, however; that is. where they
should be placed. l think they be-
long near the binding and facing
he person lying under them, but
my niece happens to think they
should face the other way.
Answer: The initials. which
should be of important size and
as a monogram rather
han in set apart letters, are put
n the middle of the bed, and when
you stand at the foot of the bed
hey should be right side up. IF
hey were marked at the top the
sheet would turn down over the
nitials.) AS matter of fact,
blankets are seldom marked today
because nearly every one uses
blanket covers-which are also
marked as l have described.
Dear Mrs. Post: When a woman
md man are walking together
N the street and the woman finds
Ter coat too warm and takes it
IF, should the man carry it for
Ter?
Answer: He should offer but /.
whether she should let him or not
s another question. In other days,
men used to be very pleased to be
'een carrying a woman's things.
out today seeing him carry some
hing that looks distinctly fem
nine is thought of as being less
yallant than conspicuous. So un-
ess there is a good reason why

Some Dos and Don't's

DO use a deep-fat thermometer.
For case in frying, use a frying
basket.
Avoid overwhelming. The fat
should never smoke.
Don't have the fat too near the
top of the kettle.
Don't put in too much of the
material at time.
Store Fish Carefully
Clean fish and place on ice or
IN a cold place until cooking time
Fish must be kept cold to prevent
spoilage and loss of juices and
flavor. Wrap in waxed paper to
keep the air from drying off cut
surfaces. Cover closely when stor-
ing in the refrigerator to prevent
odors affecting the other foods.
Do not thaw, if frozen, unless
too stiff to work with. Then Just
partly thaw, slowly. in a cool place
and use at once. If quick thaw-
ing is necessary, place the fish in
cold water for a short time.
Here are few simple rules for
cooking fish. Bake or broil fish
quickly to keep the flavor. allow
ing from s to 10 minutes per inch
thickness of fish, with tempera-
ture of $50 to 500 degrees F.
Juices set on contact with high
temperatures, and long, slow cook
ing is not required. for fish have
little connective tissue requiring
softening.
Lower the temperature after the
first 10 minutes for thick, whole
fish. and if dry-meated variety
of fish is used. sprinkle with some
oil or cooking fat to prevent the
outside from becoming too dry
Allow from to TO- minutes per
pound of fish for boiling, increas-
ing to 10 or Is minutes per pound
If very thick piece OF fish is
boiled. Steaming requires longer.
Turn very thick pieces for quicker

Ny husband has an older, mar
ried brother who lives a few miles
from us. His wife, Jane, and !
have been very good friends and
there isn't thing ! wouldn't do
for her. AS for George my
brother-in-law) his character and
morals are none too good. He is
also . heavy drinker and this has
also made James life very un-
happy.
Jane for many months has felt
that George has been stepping out
on her. Just lots of nights he
never came home at all. but al
ways had some sort of excuse.

Shortly before Christmas. Jane,
Who was expecting baby in jan
uAry, came to me and asked me

shall call Sally. Jane was positive
George had been seeing her a lot.
] told Jane 1t wasn't my affair, but
due to her condition I'd talk to
the girl and ask her not to see
George again.
In = few days saw Sally and
! told her George was married and
] asked her, please, not to see him
again for a while. Sally then told
me her story. George was in love
with her and not his wife. He
planned to divorce Jane as soon
As possible and marry Sally She
also said he had spent many of |
his nights with her at her apart
ment.
Next time l saw Jane she asked
me If I'd seen Sally. / told her I
had but 1t was better II we all
forget the matter till the baby
came. Jane started crying and
said I was upholding George and
his evilness. So what could ! do
but tell her?
Right in front of me she re-
peated Sally's story to George, and
he admitted it, and even went as
far n to explain how he and Sally
had spent their evenings and such.
The way he talked was terrible.

Auditors Failed To Report Alleged Irregularities In City Finances

year" strategy were unsuccessful when Judge Inglis sustained de- fer1se objections to questions along that line asked by Brown.
 Alcorn characterized the move as manipulation" and charged that instead of appropriating for the cash deficit, the city officials dropped the tax rate to 35 mills at that time.
 Aldermen Responsible
 Defense objections were sustained when counsel pointed out that the board of aldermen are responsible for making up the budgets.
 The total over-expenditure of appropriations from 1932-1937 was $3,775, ,53791, he said.
 Did the Kingsbury reports cor respond with figures in the city of Waterbury books?" asked Attorney Slade of Brown.
 When Brown hesitated, Slade insisted, Answer yes or mo-"
 T can't answer it yes or no, MT. Slade," respondd Brown.

connect-not to connect because they are connected already, but for the further enlightment of the jury as to the scheme adopted by these men of spending thousands and thousands of dollars of the City of Waterbury to cover their wrong do- ing, if it could be done
 If city employees had not taken pay cuts between 1883 and 1887, the over-expenditures of appropriati during that time would have been increased by $2,123,054 Brown tes- tified.
 The afternoon session opened yes- terday with Brown testifying that in the three years, 1933-35, the city spent $294, ,49997, for which there was absolutely no appropriation.
 The alleged irregularity could very readily have been found by the auditors, the witness averred, as defense counsel, particularly At torney Benjamin Slade, represent ing the three Kingsley accountants, argued that reports of over-expendi- lures OI apprOprlatlOn were listed in the annual reports.
 Charter Ignored
 Brown testified that the section of the charter providing that no budget appropriations shall be over- expended was completely ignored"
 In 1880, he said, the budget was underexpended by $10,929.00, but in 1881 the over-expenditures amounted to $399 382.79.
 The hostility feeling between de- fense and state counsel was mani- tested early in the afternoon when Special Prosecutor Alcorn and his aides were unsuccessful in a search of their mass of exhibits, for a 1880 bedget.
 Attorney George w. Crawford preferred this to Alcorn. who re- piled. I'm not asking you for any favors Mr. Crawford, for you have none to offer" He then requested recess, which was granted to allow him to find the book.

Lobby Hired To Couer
 Up City;s Deficiencies

Budget appropriations of the City of Waterbury were over-expended during the years 1931-1936 by $3,914,- 02826, although audits of the George H. Kingsley company related only $1640, ,415.12 spent in excess of appropriation, Warren M. Brown, states accountant, testified in the Waterbury conspiracy trial yester- day.
 Failure of the accountants to re- port the alleged additional $2,273,- 613.14 in their annual auditS was based on consideration of alleged illegal diversion" of accounts, Brown testified.
 In session punctuated by the in- ceSSant objections of defense counsel to the line of testimony of fered by Brown. Special Prosecutor Alcorn, during dramatic moment, charged that Mayor Frank Hayes and Controller Daniel Leary, both defendants, "hired a lobby" to cre- ate legislation ito cover up their wrong doing in the city of Water bury".
 He referred to the Waterbury cash deficit bill passed in 1885, lift ing the responsibility from the con- troller, of carrying the citys cash deficit on the books of record.
 Tn heated argument, during which question was asked, as to the admissibility of Browns testimony concerning absence of appropriation for cash deficit in the budget made charges of misuse of the surplus re- source sinking fund.-. When Alcorn referred to the legis- lation wiping out the cash deficit ac- counts, defense lawyers argued that 1t pertained to acts of the board of aldermen and the General As- sembly.
 Alcorn's Statement
 His face flushed, and his voice raised to high pitch, Alcorn shout ed:
 But 1t is not e question of the general assembly, or the board oi aldermen, Tt is a case of Hayes and Leary hiring the lobby to get that act through so as to cover up their acts in the city of Waterbury.

At that time, the journal voucher 226 was credited to this account to the amount of $25, ,75894, leaving the over-expenditure in that account of $2,585.86. The fact that these eX- penditures had been made and charged to this account during the period down to December 31 could not be considered floating indebted ness at the time the vote was passed by the Board of Sinking Fund Com missioners, as they had previously been paid and, therefore, the sur- plus resource sinking fund is used contrary to the provisions in section 99 of the charter.
