Economy Tips on Pork

Here's an economy tip concern
ing ham slices. Ask for ham butt
slices rather than center-cut ham,
if you're trying to bulge the bud
get; you'll find they're full of flaw
or.
And did you know that the end
section of the pork loin makes good
competition for the center-cut sec
ton, as far as flavor is concerned =?
It's a little harder to carve, but
you'll enjoy the smart economy in
choosing the end section of the
pork loin.

Short Ribs of Beef

Short ribs of beef are an example
of delicious economy. Where's the
man that doesn't consider short
ribs treat-just watch the orders
in restaurant when short ribs are
on the menu. Why not have them
at home? Short ribs are cut from
ends of ribs and are best when
praised. To braise, brown the meat
in a little fat, add a small amount
of water, cover and cook until ten
der.
Barbecued short ribs are made
by adding barbecue sauce, rather
than water, and cooking slowly on
top of the range or in the oven
until the short ribs are tender.

1892 ,235, 900. and from empire coun-
tries, s91 $4,000, compared with

Tariff No HeIp
To Maryland
Seofood Dealers
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 23.-The Fed
eral Governments action in increas-
ing the tariff on Japanese crab
meat by so per cent failed to excite
Maryland seafood interests today.
The move might have helped the
Maryland industry several years
ago, but the supply of crabs now is
so depleted that tariffs have vir-
tually no effect on prices.
Edwin Warfield, jr., State con-
servation commissioner, asserted
that until Chesapeake Bays crab
supply is increased, Marylanders
will be in no position to benefit from
the order. He said the condition
added emphasis to the conserva-
tion program sponsored by the de-
partment.
Earl Die, Crisfield seafood packer,
said present production was not
sufficient to meet the demand, al
though the season In Sinepuxent
Bay had been the best In several
years.
Other sources said that Japanese
crab meat never had been serious
competitor of the Maryland product.
The taste and flavor of the two
meats are quite different. they said

George C. Warner, jr., and

verify criticized the action Of the
County Commissioners in adopting
a resolution unfavorable to the
recommendations of the Brookings
Institution.
The Commissioners had declared
the Institutions recommendation Il
replace the County Commissioners

county nanAger would destroy
representative government and the
two-party system. This contention
was branded utterly ridiculous and,
in fact. false, by Mr.. Warner and
Mr.. Hilland.
The Republicans statement de-
clared the present setup is not rep
resentative, since citizens vote not
only for the commissioner and dele
gate for their own district, but also
for commissioners and delegates
from all districts. Because OF this,
the statement continues. 'the county
has a one-party dictatorship"
Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Hilland Is
