Consider the EGG
suggests Dorothy Greig

NAN you imagine what a terrible
~ place an eggless world would
be? Half the things we would try
to cook would fall fat and the other
half would fall apart. And think
what gap in our daily menus the
absence of eggs would leave
That neat, compact little item
known as the egg is just about the
most useful, nourishing and alto
gether valuable food we have.

Eggs baked in tomato sauce and
served with crisp bacon
and corn sticks.

There's no waste to it. 1t can be
eaten by everyone. young, old ard
middling. And the ways of using it
and serving il are infinite in their
variety.
Eggs should be cooked slowly and
at low temperature. That keeps
them tender Even a hard cooked
egg intended for salad or garnish
should be brought to its firm state
by slow, gentle means.
The traditional -four minute egg"
is better tasting egg if it reaches
that particular stage Of doneness by
resting peaceably in water just
under boiling temperature for eight
minutes instead Of boiling vigor-
ously for four.
For Sunday breakfast, or for
luncheon, eggs cooked this way are
a tasty bite:
Eggs baked in Tomato Sauce
Butter individual ramekins or
shirred egg dishes. Then into each
one spoon two or three tablespoons
of condensed tomato soup, thick,
just as it comes from the can. Now
drop an egg into each dish on top
of the soup. Bake in a slow oven
325 degrees until the eggs are set
which will be in 14-17 minutes.
Serve with strips OF crisp bacon and
fresh hot corn sticks.

lowed the usual five days.

Mr.. Kirkland stated to the court
that 'the police have handled this
case in an unusual manner He
pointed out that the coroner had

United States Attorney Edward M.

land three weeks in which to file
motions against the indictments.
He agreed, however, that would be
reasonable time in which to pre-
pare a defense before the case comes
to trial. When motions are disposed

1t was believed the case will take
several weeks to try. The Govern
ment has announced it has approxi-
mately 40 witnesses, while Mr.. Kirk
land has about a dozen witnesses in
prospect now.
Defense counsel told the court he
wished considerable time to investi-
gate. He expressed the opinion that

The accused pleaded innocent in
firm, low voice, and listened quiet

He has maintained his innocencs
through repeated police grillings.
Mr.. Curran assured the court that
there is nothing unusual about the
indictments"

Navy had teamwork in 1890 and
the Army couldn't match it.
The West Pointers, explained the
Herald, don't know how to play
the game very well. There is no
semblance of teamwork. Niche
(for whom the present West Point
stadium is named) makes a good
run, and then Undertake lodges
and squirms for Is yards. But they
do it all by themselves, while their
rushers look on without knowing
that they ought to interfere in be-
half of their runners -
It's different now.
When the four veterans root for
Navy on Saturday they will see
that both the Army and the Navy
backs will have whole platoons of
padded blockers who know too we'll
that they ought to interfere in
behalf of their runners"
In the process somebody is 60
ing to win, Stuffy, Sandy, Ruff and
Bert hope it will be Navy.
