Luncheon
Recipes

The coup is made from the
broth in which the "Cocido"
was cooked and from which it is
removed. The rice is cooked in
this broth and the small pieces
Of chicken giblets previously
cooked and basted are added.
The "Cocido" is made with all
the ingredients mentioned in the
menu on the woman's page,
cooked over a slow fire for a
long time, until the garbanzos
are tender. From the time
these garbanzoS began to cook
until they are completely done,
they should not stop cooking,
for this would harden them and
spoil them. Then the broth is
removed for the soup, leaving
just enough SO that the vege-
tables may be added and cooked
and the chorizo and tablespoon
of lard are added. When the
small amount of broth left in
the "Cocido" is cooked up, it is
ready to serve.
The fish is cleaned, covered
with flour, and fried in olive oil
which is very hot. The sardines
are fried open with all bones
removed and covered with mix
ture of egg and flour or broiled
on an open fire.
The "eScabeche" is very typi-
cal. The fried fish with its olive
oil is left a few hours in vine
gar with a little water and some
aromatic herb.
The "adobo" is also typical.
Before frying place the fish in
vinegar and add red pimentos
and small pieces of potatoes,
fixed likewise.
The Matthias are a cream made
with eggs, well beaten, milk and
sugar. It is allowed to cool in
o large dish, sprinkle cinnamon
on top, and place a few cookies
or small cakes over the top.

BRIDGE CLOSING
BATTLE HEADED
FOR CONGRESS
InCenSed Merchants to
Demand Ramp Building

1ncensed Georgetown merchants
prepared to carry their fight to
Congress over the closing of the
Francis Scott Key Bridge. A COM
mittee of IL was selected by the
merchants at a mass meeting last
night to seek sufficient funds from
Congress for construction of a
temporary ramp at the southern
approach of the bridge.
At the call of the Georgetown
Business Mems Association, the
merchants convened last night in
the 1900 block Wisconsin
Ave. N. w.
CLOSING ILLEGAL
The closing of the span for a
10-month period to permit con-
struction of bridge addition
over the extended George Wash
ington Memorial highway. the
merchants complained, is costing
them hundreds of thousands of
dollars in trade.
A contention the bridge closing
also is 'illegal'A under terms of
the District code was made by
John Paul Jones, general counsel
OF the association.
He requested Elmer L. Tarwell,
of the Bureau of Public Roads, in
charge of the construction, to keep
the bridge opened to vehicular
traffic from 10 a. m. until p. m.
and from 5'p. m. until Z a. m. The
bridge now is opened to traffic
only between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.
OTHER SPEAKERS
Others who addressed the meet
ing included Police Inspector Will
liam E. Holmes, Capt. John E.
Bowers, commander of No. pre-.
cinct; E. P. Goucher, of the Capt.
tai Transit Company; w. I. Cleve-
land, of the American Automobile
Association, and Thomas S. Gu
lick, president of the businessmen's
group.

funds from the District commit
tees of both houses of Congress.

Not after they saw Jamie Jessup's
face when Isabelle laid the big silver
cup in his arms.
Isabelle tried to say something. She
couldn't make a sound. Confusedly
she realized that lot of people had
crowded about her, that her father
was standing beside her looking at her
the way he used to when she was a lit
tie girl. Suddenly she was feeling all
vacant inside and sick with embarrass-
ment because she'd stood up in front
of all those people and made speech.
Il don't feel very good" she whis-
pered to her father. And in this hour
of her triumph she turned. hid her
face against him and burst into tears.

despite Peppers rowdy alteration.
The four redheads - they wavered in
Isabelle's blurred vision and she
thought it was just her eyes that made
her think Bill Jessup was biting at his
lip and holding his own eyes wide as
if to keep them dry.
There we're those present in the
audience who would go to their graves
swearing they had seen dog - mind
you, dog - walk right up and pick
out just one dog from a hundred or
more. As for the rest of the spectators,
they did not want the trick explained.

Pepper flung himself on Ace and the

AS Isabelle had dreamed, the crowd
went practically mad. Yelling and
applauding, they watched her take the
enormous cup from Mrs. Fallon and
walk toward Jamie. Bill Jessup had
lifted his brother up from the ground.

Hugging the whimpering Pepper.
who wanted to stay with Ace, Isabelle
ran towards the judges stand and
Mrs Fallon. She did not even look at
the proudly parading Mamie and Ivan.
She did not even hear the applause.
Dear child" Mrs. Fallon cried as
Isabelle rushed up to her, get in the
ring there to receive the cup"
II don't want it, Mrs. Fallon!
Isabelle put her lips close to Mrs.
Fallon's ear and poured out her story.
That's very generous of you. dear"
Mrs. Fallon said when she had finished.
by all means give him the cup"
But in the what classification?
That's the trouble Ace hasn't got any
rule book good points
WELL" Mrs Fallon CROPPED for a
reason, well say it's because he's a
nice dog who belongs to nice boy"
NO." Isabelle protested. The boys
got to think Ace won the cup. Some
body has got to pick Ace out as the
best dog, for some reason" Wildly she
looked about, searching for somebody
while Pepper wriggled in her arms.
"Pepper" lmpatiently she shook
him. You can't 60 back to Ace now"
Go back to Acct The words echoed in
her whirling thoughts. Well, it might
work, at that 1t might -
Hold him till get back" Isabelle
thrust Pepper into Mrs. Fallon's
hands, She had to find some food.
Pepper would eat anything. She saw
a half-eaten frankfurter on the grass
before the judges stand. She jumped
down and. picking it up covertly,
rubbed it on the soles of her shoes.
Then in a straight line. putting her
feet down hard, she walked hurriedly
to Ace and the Jessup boys. Bill and
Dickie, who had come back to their
brother, eyed her in amazement as
she bent down to Ace and patted his
chest with a hidden bit of the frank
furter She whispered to the little boy:
What's your name?
Jamie" he whispered.
In the same straight line she ran
back to the judges stand Nobody had
noticed her, except her father who had
arrived just in time to be an unwilling
witness to lvan's victory. All other
eyes we're still on the parading Mamie
and Ivan. Mamie was draining this
moment to its dregs. Isabelle told
Mrs. Fallon what she had done and
outlined broadly what Mrs. Fallon
should say on the loudspeaker. You
say it yourself, DEAR" Mrs. Fallon
said and, putting Pepper in Isabelles
arms, pushed her to the microphone.
''Oh. goodness no! l couldn't"
Isabelle gasped and heard her voice
loud and pleading all over the park.
She was conscious of laughing faces
turning toward her, of tired children
and amiable tired dogs, of Mamie and
her father and the Jessup boys looking
up at her, waiting for her to say some
thing more. She cleared her throat.
