 Fried rice with lobster. One small lobster Is boiled for 10 minutes, then meat is removed and diced. An egg is scrambled in 8 hot greaSed skill let until slightly brown. Lobster and egg are placed in pot with two cups cooked rice, one or two diced caIl- ned mushrooms, one teaspoon soya bean sauce and (if available) one diced peeled water chestnut and one teaspoon diced peeled bamboo shoots. Mixture is fried in oil for five minutes.
 This recipe can be varied by using fresh shrimps, boiled five minutes, instead of lobster.
 Chinese rice. The Chinese method of cooking rice is to put washed rice in a pot with one and one-half cups cold water to one cup of rice, and to cook until water boils of. Flame then is turned to lowest point and, with lid on, is heated for IS minutes. A crust should form at the bottom of the pot, but rice should not be burned.
 Mustard Greens, cooked in the Chinese manner, are washed and fried in peanut oil or butter, along with small pieces of pork, garlic or ginger root, minced onion, and one teaspoon soya bean sauce.

Trade Board Group Urges
Full School Garden Fund

The Board of Trade Public Schools
Committee yesterday urged a $4,000
appropriation for school gardens in
1912 provided the work in the gar
dens is done out of school hours and
on Saturdays.
This amounts to a restoration Of
the amount sought by the Board of
Education for this work. In trans
mitting the budget to Congress the
Commissioners reduced the item to
$500 which is the present appro-
priation.
The proviso to make the work
extra curricular was included at the
suggestion of Gen. Amos A. Fries, a
member of the committee, who de-
clared that too much of the present
school day is devoted to courses
which are not of basic nature. He
objected to too many 'frills" during
the regular school day which he
thought should be devoted to funda-
mental education.
In adopting the bulk of a report
by Paul F. Grove. jr, on the school
gardens the group urged that in
furthering the garden program, free
seeds be sought from the Depart
ment of Agriculture and that efforts
be made to get w. P. A. to help in
the grading Of sites for additional
gardens.
Chairman George Keneipp of the
committee called attention to the
large increase in the development
of Anacostia and noted that addi-
tional teachers would be needed to
provide for this growth. He de-
scribed the situation there as serious.

aid to Great Britain which is called
for in the present crisis.
Full Authority Needed.
If we wish to proceed in prompt
and effective manner, 1t is essential,
in my judgment, that the Congress
provide now in one bill specific and
clear authority to transfer all kinds
of military equipment, limited only
to the determination by the COM
mander in chief of considerations
necessary for our own defense. Such
authority is contained in paragraph
3(a) of this bill.
I think 1t may be well to call the
attention of this committee to the
fact that this bill is not a radical
departure from existing legislation.
Under the so-called Pittman Act
(PubIc Resolution No. 80, Seventy
sixth Congress-, enacted on June
IS, 1910, the President may do for
American republics many OF the
things that are proposed to be au-
thorized in this act for all democ-
raciesswhose defense is important to
us. Under the Pittman Act the
President may authorize the manu-
facture in Government factories and
arsenals of coast defense articles,
anti-aircraft material and ammuni-
ton therefor.
Best and Simplest Plan.
For the benefit of American re-
publics he may authorize the pro-
curement or sale of such material,
and may use Government officials to
test, prove or repair it, and he may
also authorize the construction Of
their vessels of war in our shipy ards,
the manufacture of armament and
equipment for such vessels in Gov
ernment arsenals, as well as other
acts of this nature, including the
communication of Government plans
and specifications and information
relating to the defense articles COW
cred by that act I think 1t is mani
fest that today the defense Of Great
Britain is of at least as great con-
Germ to the United States as, say,
the defense Of Paraguay.
To summarize: feel that the pro-
posed bill Is fortnight and clear
grant of power which will enable
the President to place in operation
the best and simplest plan to carry
out a national policy many times
stated and Endorsed. 1t substantially
assists us in the job of caring for
our own needs and the needs of those
whose defense is a matter of vital
Importance to us. But it leaves in
our hands the power to determine
at the time when the munitions are
completed the country which shall
receive them. and thus to insure that
this vital decision is made solely in
the interest of the defense of the
United States I therefore urge that
it be given prompt and favorable
consideration by your committee.

Dangers Of Buying
Sp|urge Pictured
To Retailers
Convention Speakers
Believe Boom Can
Be Checked
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 16.--Boom dam
gers was today's subject for delegates
to the National Retail Dry Goods
Association Convention.
They heard that an expected swift
increase in consumer goods buying
might create a splurge, but that
various influences were expected to
keep it within bounds.
Leo G. Levin, treasurer of the New
York department store of Franklin
Simon g. Co., told delegates repre-
Senting $500 American stores:
THE factors of business expansion
are in full swing. The retailer can
look for a steadily growing volume.
With the billions of dollars being
pumped into the pockets Of wage
earners through the defense pro-
gram, retailers can expect their
registers to ring-and loudly, too.
THE problem in retailing will be
to capitalize on the boom, distasteful
as it may be to many, and then to
retain the maximum portion of
profits so obtained to prepare for
the rainy day which may reach
torrential proportions in time to
come.
"Of great concern will be the
control of prices, and it is reasonable
to assume that every effort will be
made to maintain an orderly price
structure through the voluntary CO.
operations of both manufacturer
and retailer"
Prof. Malcolm P. McNair of
Harvard University said in a pre-
pared address:
80 long as our defense emergency
persists all the economic ingredients,
some of which were previously inert,
will be galvanized into the active
creation of business boom.
He suggested the application Of
careful control to prevent subsequent
depression.
A. Eldean, executive director Of
"The Tax Foundation" an inde-
pendent research body, said taxpay-
ers could meet the present increase
in Government expenditures only II
strict economy were applied to non
defense public spending.

Statement Wired to A.P.

NEW YORK, Jan. J6.-Coi.
Charles A. Lindbergh said today
that while he had attempted to
cooperate with all American or
ganizations opposed to our entering
the war in Europe" he had no con-
nection with the No Foreign War
Committee.
His statement, telegrapl1ed to the
Associated Press from Huntington,
Long Island. follows:
II wish to state that while have
attempted to cooperate with all
American organizations opposed to
our entering the war in Europe, ]
have no connection with the No
Foreign War Committee.
Shortly after the No Foreign War
Campaign was launched in Wash
ington, I agreed to speak at an
opening meeting in st. Louis provid-
ing certain conditions were met.
These conditions were not met, and
since that time the No Foreign
wal NdlilPdlS1l Ildo ullUcISOllc IT,
organization.
II attended a number of con-
ferences when its successor, the No
Foreign War Committee, was being
formed, but found myself unable to
support the methods and policies
adopted by the new organization
I have at no time been a member
of the committee, nor have I con-
| tributed to its financial support. My
belief that it would be disastrous for
this country to enter the war re-
mains unchanged, and I intend to
continue the stand I have taken
against our participation"
Verne Marshall, chairman of the
No Foreign War Committee, which
was formed December II, was not
Immediately available for comment.
Mr.. Marshall said Tuesday that
1t was Col Lindbergh who per-
suaded him to accept the chairman-
ship. He has stated that the COM
mittee has only two objectives-
one, to keep the United States out
of the war, and two, to prevent the
administration from giving away or
lending Americas defenses.
