Nitrog|ycerin Threat
Is Made in Ho|dup
Of Oklahoma Bank
Two Places Robbed
And Salesman Held
Captive for Hours
BY the Associated Press.


PICHER, Okla, Oct. 5.-Three
desperadoes revived Oklahoma's rip
roarin' bank banditry days with a
sensational threat to blow up a
Picher bank with nitroglycerin after
kidnapping a salesman and holding
him captive more than 40 hours.
The $1,195 holdup of the First
State Bank here and another at
Webbers Falls were the first In 10
months in Oklahoma-once the
scene of almost daily raids by such
daredevils as Pretty Boy Floyd.
The nitroglycerine bandits started
their splurge Monday night with
the kidnapping of Raymond c. Quirk,
49-year-old Tulsa salesman, at
Vinita. Tuesday they robbed

money"
Held As Hostage.
Yesterday they sent their leader,
a 25-year-old blond, to rob the Picher
bank while a second stood guard
outside and third held Quirk hos
tage II miles away.
The blond youth demanded Of
Clarence Miller. bank employe:
do you know what nitroglycerin
is?"
Miller, bewildered, turned to Con-
stable Clarence (Blondie) McLana-
han, who had just walked in, and
repeated the question.
Without waiting for a reply, the
bandit pulled out a bottle partially
filled with a colorless liquid and
announced:
well, you know what it is now"
He quickly disarmed the constable,
lined up him, Miller and three
customers and demanded 5000 from
Cashier w. A. Brewer "or I'll blow
this place sky-high."
Brewer showed out a stack of bills,
meantime pushing $4,000 in cur
rency into wastebasket.
The youth grabbed the money,
fled to a waiting car and returned
to Quirk. The salesman said "he

THE CHEF SUGGESTS ----- -------- Salads Become More Important As Winter Goes And Spring Enters
By JOSEPH BOGGIA-- . Chef-The Plaza-New York

which may not be as crisp as the iceberg or Romaine but is very delicate and an excellent tonic in the early spring; add also finely shaved spring onions, using a little bit of the pale green stalk; endives and watercresS also belong in the mixture which you may arrange on the salad plate in nest or ring form ation. In the center place wheel of thinly sliced tomato, if desired. Serve with a plain lemon juice and oil dressing seasoned with salt and pepper and perhaps little pinch of sugar to mellow the acidity of the lemon juice. Finely shredded red and white cabbage mixed with shredded spring onions and green pepper makes combination that is both tasty and satisfying. Serve t with broiled chops or fish and bak- ed or creamed potatoes, on night when there is is substantial des- sert-perhaps strawberry or banana shortcake. You will not find it necessary to prepare cooked green vegetable.
 Those strange looking plants which seem to be cross between turnip and bunch of celery are known as celeriac excellent in salads. I give you this recipe with fresh tomatoes and nuts:
 Salad la Marquise
 Mix with finely shredded celeriac and lettuce some dice of fresh tomato meat and sliced brazil nuts Add a little whipped cream to plain tomato sauce and use as dressing for this salad which should be ar ranged in cups of crisp lettuce leaves.

Pleasing The Man
BY CHLOE JAMESON

You'll not want to serve one of the usual egg dishes on Easter morn; for eggs will be featured in dinner or supper menus, and perhaps those you've so carefully colored for the egg hunt will be devoured between meals at various times throughout the day.
 But there should be some culinary suggestions to greet the family for the first meal of the day. Why not diminutive codfish cakes made in the shape of eggs instead of the customary biscuits? And serve them wish a rich cream sauce garnished with chopped white of egg with yolks pressed through 8 sieve and snrinkled over the top? Here is a good recipe for the codfish:
 Goldfish Easter Eggs
 Boil the quantity of codfish that will be required, changing the wa ter once to remove some of the salt While the fish is hot, pick it very fine, so that it will be feathery. Put hot boiled potatoes through a ricer and beat them to creamy fluffy consistency with milk and butter. To 3 cups of riced potatoes, use 1 1-2 cups of the flaked fish. Combine with the potatoes, beat egg until light and add to the fish mixture. Season to taste, mold into eggs about the size and shape of guinea hen eggs, roll in flour and fry in smoking fat until golden brown. Serve with the egg sauce. Or coat each egg with heavy cream sauce and sprinkle with the grated yolk of hardboiled egg. Decorate each serving with fresh cress or sprigs of parsley.
 Another pretty Easter breakfast dish is made by lining small nest moulds with cooked spinach, drop- ping a whole egg in the center, seasoning with salt and pepper and sprinkling generously with grated cheese. Bake in the oven until the eggs are set. Serve in the nest molds, if they are of glass or china.

Kitchen Comments

You can bake apples in one-half the usual time if you will first cook them in water for about ten min- utes or until fairly soft. First core the apples, as for baking, then pre- cook them a. suggested, remove and place in a baking pan, fill with sugar, cinnamon and butter, pour little of the hot water over them and put in hot oven to brown. A reader says .... When creamed soup is scorched and the burned flavor is noticeable, add a teaspoon of peanut butter to counteract this taste and also add tempting new flavor.
 Pastry should be baked in hot oven wherever possible. For pies which do not require a thorough cooking of the filling, and for pas- try shells, have the oven very hot during the entire baking time. For apple, fruit, or custard pies, which need longer cooking, have the oven 1AOu 4O4 ll1C III LC11 4llk1lutCO, Gl4Ckl lower temperature.
 Sometimes cream that is not strictly fresh, although still sweet, will curdle slightly when poured into coffee. You can prevent this by adding just a pinch of baking soda to the cream before serving.
 It improves pie crust, and makes it extra-f -faky, if thin spreading of soft butter is applied before put ting the pie in the oven. And the rich brown crust which the chef serves you in fine hotel or restau- rant may be duplicated at home by brushing over the top crust of a pie a thin film of egg yolk mixed with old water.
