Tasteful Turnip Recipes
By BETTY BARCLAY

 The ttirnip is humble little vege- table with Q flavor all its own = a flavor that some do not care for but many delight in. Plain mashed tur- nips appear regularly on thousands of. tables and never seem to lose their charm. :. But here are a couple of recipes that call for the humble turnip and allow it to step up few rungs on the ladder of fame. Try them, ye turnip users, and you will have new ways to use your surplus turnips.

might have some effect on her un-
born child. Can you tell US if her
fears have any grounds?
"There is so much talk going
around, based on superstition, ig-
norance and bits of facts, that one
does not quite know what to be-
lieve."
That last paragraph appeals to
your sympathy. I do not know why,
in a modern day and age, the neigh
bors would take the responsibility
of volunteering to make the decision
of giving advice either pro or con
about such matters.
'Delicate Condition"
Especially under the circum-
stances. There is an old saying
about "a woman in a delicate con-
dition." Like all old sayings-old
sayings that survive-it is packed
with truth. An eXpectant mother
is in delicate condition. She looks
forward to a gradual development
of bodily changes and to a flnale
that at best is no fun. After that
she assumes a great responsibility
the rearing of a human being,
which in this day and period is no
light matter.
Then at this exact moment the
neighbors take it on themselves to
barge in and relate "bits of facts
about some limited experience each
has had.
There is one neighbor, though,
that could be depended on to give
some pretty good advice. The ad-
vice is good because it is based on
experience; also because it is based
on complete understanding of the

RICHT-OF-WAY

FISHERS RIGHT
In PROPHECY
OF YESTERDAY
CHANGE OF MOON BROUGHT
LIGHTER WINDS FROM
DIFFERENT DIRECTION:
CHARTER BOATS TO GO OUT

Old-time fishermen who made
the prediction yesterday that the
winds, which was coming rather
strong out of the northeast, would
change last night, were found to
be correct.
With the change in the moon
last night the wind swung around
to the east and abated. Fishing
parties today were planning to
go out in the Stream, following
a rather rough day yesterday in
which few parties tried their
luck.
When the wind is strong and
north and in line with
the protecting reef, then neither
side of the reef is calm enough
to allow fishing boats to fish near
the shoals without making it UNI
comfortable for the fishers. A
slight shift in the wind and the
reef offers a protected area.

Washington Attorney Shows
Importance OF Key West
Calls Attention To Article
In New York Paper Fail
ing To Mention Island
City

Indicative of the widespread
and universal interest in Key
West is the accompanying letter
from Attorney Charles H. UNI
stead, of Washington, D. c., to
the Chamber of Commerce.
Secretary Singleton said Like
most other interested friends he
has a few suggestions to make
which come under the head of
the good of the order and will
materialize in due time" Fol-
lowing is the letter:
THE article in last Sundays
issue of the New York Times rel
alive to the Atlantic Fleet and
mentions Trinidad, Puerto Rico,
ETC., does not mention Key West.
All the Hammond maps in my
possession showing Key West and
Dry TortugaS, are plainly marked
U. S. Naval Station. Evidently
the author of the Times article
should have this called to his at
tention by the Board of Trade SO
that the omission will not happen
again.
THE N. Y. Times editors
should have their attention
called to the articles in their own
newspaper printed in 1898, and
they will see that Key West was
the pivotal spot from which all
information radiated relative to
the movements of vessels both
within the Spanish Fleet as well
as the important parts of our own
fleet.
Two things are very neces-
sary at Key West. One is a stone
and concrete dry dock at least
1000 feet long, and the other is
an IL inch fresh water pipe line
from the mainland. Anyone who
is familiar with the tension and
anxiety during the Spanish-Am-
erican war in 1898 around Tampa,
Key West and Havana, will en-
dorse the above proposition.
Those who fail to realize the i'm
portance of these Improvements,
will find that the delay on our
part has been unwise.

ments are under construction the

morning by WPA workmen on
the construction of Avenue E
and connecting roadways, in
which are employed one super
visor and IA men. This force is
to be increased at d later date.
The project, which is number
ed 4O32, is sponsored by the

Federal funds allocated amounts
to $12,723.
The scope of the work includes
activities en- Roosevelt Boulevard

and Palatka to a point on the
Gulf of Mexico north of Clear
water should be continued under
the plans of Army Engineers and
completed within the next ten
months at the very latest.
These projects are self
liquidating and are military
necessities. The japanese have
taught us hard lesson. If that
country had possession of Key
West and a 10 mile strip across
the narrowest portion of Florida
they would construct all the i'm
provementS at once, even though
they had to finance the under
takings with borrowed money.
I'VE trust that the proper Of
ficials will take cognizance of the
above matters before it becomes
too late to take advantage of our
opportunities around the coastal
limits of Key West. The spots
marked salt basins upon our
maps of Key West should be
filled in at once and made into
landing fields for air ships in
case of a threat from a foreign
country"
In a post script at the conclu-
sion of his letter the writer adds

Der the Maine, but we must not

MEMBERS OF ORGANIZATION
TO ASSEMBLE AT HIGH
SCHOOL FOR REGULAR
LESSONS

AltSI IWO WSGhS NdCdtlOIl
during the holiday season the
members of the Boys Band will
assemble for regular lessons and
rehearsal this afternoon at a
o'clock at the High School.
This organization was formed
early last fall under the direc-
ton of George Mills White, local
supervisor of the Federal Music
Project. Over one hundred boys
have applied for membership
and have joined classes for in
struction in the various instru-
ments. Unfortunately many OF
the boys did not own Instruments
when classes began but with the
assurance that the band will be
a permanent organization many
parents have found it possible to
purchase instruments for their
boys, it is stated.
Many of the boys received new
instruments for Christmas pres
ents. The fifty piece band which
was originally planned is now
almost d reality with over forty
instruments now in the group.
Lessons are held twice weekly
on Monday and Friday at the
High School from As p. m. with
the members of the Hospitality
Band acting as teachers for the
various sections of the band
From to a general rehearsal
for the complete unit is held un-
der the direction of Mr. White at
the Boys Band Hall in the Naval
Hospital grounds, the building
having been generously put at
the disposal of the band by Lieut..
Fort Callahan, officer in charge
of the Naval Station. ,.a
e., Many of the local merchants
and interested citizens have con-
tributed to a fund which is be- |
ing raised to further the activity
of this organization and the work |
being done has played an i'm
portant part in the program for
youth betterment and community
service. A drive will be held in
the near future to raise funds to
help the boys purchase the re-
naming needed instruments and
uniforms.
Mr.. White wishes to thank the |!
many parents who have CO.
operated in the movement and |
encouraged their sons by pur-
chasing instruments for them. !
He also wishes to express thanks
to the following merchants and
citizens who have contributed to-
ward the fund or supplied ma
terials for music stands and other
equipment.
