I ERE are some recipes
which we like very much.
The paprika sauce Is an
original recipe. which my mother
used TO make when / was still a
tot and she would make a huge
amount of IL, but we children
sure could make it disappear. /
have cut IL down considerably.
but it still makes a good pan full
and I always have a dishful left
over, so / put a cover on it, put
it in the refrigerator and forget
about 1t for two or three days,
then warm 1t up and ii is as good
as new We do like IL very much.
The only name I ever knew 1t
by, is Paprika Sauce. The cab
bage and lima bean recipes are
my own original recipes. which I
have been making for almost
twenty years but they are my
two faporite Spring recipes and
l do hope you will try them and
like them too.

i usually get them just right, 80
II is much easier to taste to get
the right amount than to guess,
if they need more salt I just put
more in until they taste right and
it is hard to judge the amount of
water too, some vegetables take
more water than others and !
usually watch that don't put
too much in, but that ! do put
enough in. ! hope this explana-
ton is satisfactory.

4 tablespoons butter or fryings
2 tablespoons sugar

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles +. TracetueH.

I'VE saw marsh hawks and juncos, be-
sides our ordinary winter-long titmice
nuthatches. ETC., and lots Of other birds
I have now forgotten.
I'VE made camp on the side of q de-
serted country road, built small fire to
try to warm ourselves, and sitting on
the roadside bank we ate our luncheon
and quite thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Your narrator had taken along huge
.45-cahber pistol with q curiosity to see
how 1t would shoot, and he tried it out
against large dead tree in that semi
solitude along the country lane.
Il was minded of Washington Irv-
ing's lines in The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow where he describes his first
entrance into the peaceful little valley:
I had wandered into it at noontime,
when all nature is peculiarly quiet, and
was startled by the roar Of my own gun,
as it broke the Sabbath stiffness around
and was prolonged and reverberated by
the angry echoes
"And thus 1t was with me as the As
roared in that country stiffness How
ever, we enjoyed the field day looking
for the birds. 1t made us feel that we
were whistling up springtime. I intend
to go back to Seneca Creek way again
this spring to look for the song birds
the high-hying hawks and whatever
else there is to see, but this time I think
it will be March, not February"

What interests us about this interest
ing letter is that there isn't bird
named which one cannot see from his
own back window.
In other words, although it is splendid
to 60 to Gettysburg, it is possible to have
the same birds or almost all of them in
any ordinary suburban garden.
Going on hikes to watch the birds is
excellent, If one has the time and energy
but If one hasn't it is still possible to
derive amusement and real help from
such birds as come to you.
There is scarcely a day goes by, for
instance. that we do not see from hall
a dozen to 10 male cardinals in the yard
The best time for seeing these is in the
hour just before dark.
With war time" in operation, there
will be more chance for more persons
to see local bird life at its best.
If you can get to any of our great ma
tional parks and battlefelds, so much
the better, but if you cannot, then watch
at home, even from behind the kitchen
sink, and you will see a great deal te
startle ard amuse and delight you

JobIess Benefits

That widespread disapproval has
been stirred by the administration
proposal to supplement State unem-
ployment compensation payments
with Federal grants for workers dis
placed by the war production pro-
gram is made increasingly evident by
the unanimity with which States are
turning thumbs down on it.
Successive witnesses have empha-
sized at the House Ways and Means
Committee hearing that such
course is uncalled for, and reports
are current that the committee also
is baking Fear that the plan
which is advanced as an emergency
measure is in reality step toward
liberalization of the unemployment
compensation system undoubtedly is
back of the States objection to &C
cepting Federal funds. The posi-
bility that it contains the germ of an
other effort to tie in social reform
with the war effort is understood to
be behind committee opposition.
In sending the proposal to Con-
greSS, at the recommendation of
Sidney Hillman, head of the Labor
Division of the War Production
Board, President Roosevelt asked for
an appropriation of 100000, 900 to
permit the States to increase bene-
fits to the war idle. In turn, bene-
ficiaries would undergo training to
fit them for war production tasks.
Mr.. Hillman told the committee that
some thirty States now pay a maxi
mum of SIS weekly and that an in
crease is needed to prevent the mi
grafton of workmen who have been
accustomed to higher wages and will
seek employment elsewhere instead
of. remaining in the vicinity of the
converted plants where eventually
they will be wanted.
An argument of this sort deals
more with theory than demonstrated
fact. This program was offered

Senate on April 4, by the House of Rep
resentatives on April S, and signed by

@. What is the difference between q
carlton and chime?-D. P. T.
A. A carlton is an instrument 1t
consists of set of stationary bells tuned
SO as to play regularly composed melo-
dies, and is sounded by the action of a
hand on keyboard or by machinery. A
carlton differs from a chime or peal. in
that the bells are fixed instead of swing
ing, and are of greater number. The
number of bells in a chime or peal never
exceeds IL; q carlton often consists of
so or 60.

primarily to meet conditions growing
out Of the displacement of the vast
army OF automobile workers, and
presupposes a condition that does not
necessarily exist. That forced un-
employment works real hardShips
under any circumstances is not to
be denied, but it should not be as
Sumed that men who have had
steady employment in a highly-paid
industry must depend on public as
sistance the moment their jobs are
gone. Nor is there any particular
reason to believe that the measure
under consideration to boost State
rates 20 per cent with Federal funds
would deter workmen from bettering
their condition If possible.
One of the sharpest criticisms of
the plan has come from Abraham
Epstein, executive secretary of the
American Association for Social
Security and veteran campaigner
1Ol OOCldl WClldlC, WIlO COlu UllC
League for Industrial Democracy
in New York that it was being
pushed by the American Federation
of Labor and c. I. o. to get benefits
for the upper crust" of organized
labor without regard for the welfare
of loWer-paid workers.
In this connection, it might be
said also that the same solicitude was
not in evidence when thousands of
employees of the retail automobile
and tire trade were thrown out of
work Several weeks ago.
The unemployment compensation
system was established on the prin-
ciple that each State could devise
and administer it's own plan so long
as certain basic requirements were
met. That principle becomes a dead
letter if the Federal Government is
to interfere without regard to the
wishes of the States.

Gettysburg Battlefield rs bird sane
tuary is highly recommended to the
readers Of this column by correspond
ent, who says:
ITO those who love to see and hear the
songbirds, and all the other birds that
are not songbirds, suggest trip to
this park in May or early June.
THE hundreds Of acres Of the battle
field are veritable sanctuary; the fields
and woods are alive with birds. Last
May when we were there for two happy,
peaceful, sunshiny days, We saw and
stalked more beautiful birds than can
now enumerate; and they seemed 50
tame, you coulG almost come close to
many of them.
II remember we'll a gorgeous red,
white and blue woodpecker sitting on a
fence alongside the road.
II turned the car around and drove
back to where we too hurriedly had
passed him at first sight. BY moving
slowly he allowed the car to come within
and raved over his brilliant coloring for
about 10 minutes, while he posed on the
fence or hoped to the ground, then back
again to the fence.
Brown thrashers, with their beautiful
songs, were plentiful and thrushes, blue
birds, robins, kingbirds and many others
too numerous to mention.
These birds are never hunted, of
course, and never knowing the sound of
gun, they have gotten used to people
moving about the Government reserva-
ton. I was frequently struck with how
close we, at times, could get to them.
doubt If many people know that the
great battlefield Of Gettysburg is vast
bird sanctuary, in addition to its his
torical interest; and If they love birds,
love to see them and to hear their mating
songs, let them go to Gettysburg in the
springtime; but try to pick good weather,
of course.
Late last February three of US made
an especial trip up Seneca Greek way to
welcome back the birds of spring, and
we were not disappointed despite our
avowed attempt to rush the reason
Some one had said that up along
Seneca Greek, where it is marshy, was q
great rendezvous for songbirds; 30 We
packed up goodly lunch and journeyed
to Gaithersburg, and then-it must have
been-down near Jamestown, because
we were not far from the Potomac River
I'VE skirted the fields alongside OF
Seneca Creek, where it was too marshy
to travel and we saw lots of birds. AT
one time 1 counted seven cardinals
within sight. Then, too, I took par
ticular delight in watching through my
field glasses two hawks wheeling high IL
the air above me, giving their peculiar
cry as they quested back and forth to
see what they could see.
