Perhaps the first thing TO bear
in mind, in considering any out
door meal, barbecue or other
wise, is this Keep it simple.
Here's the one meal Of all meals
where fussy accessories are out
of-place, and even in the way.
Don't plan too many items, don't
have "dibs' Of this or "dabs"
Of that especially in these days,
when possibly all or many Of
the food items must be hand
trundled or toted from a distant
store or station.
The writer can speak feelingly
on this topic, because on the
recent birthday Of one OF the
daughters Of the family the pro-
visions for s persons for full
days were carried by hand in 3
shopping bags, milk and a
watermelon excluded.
What were the menus? So
simple we blush TO mention them
but here they are: Cold cuts,
and a homemade potato-pepper
salad carried in a beer bucket,
topped-off by cans Of peaches;
small individual short steaks"
pounded well by the butcher on
his block. trimmed of every
vestige Of fat, and carried IN a
paper container, after being sea-
soned with thinly-sliced onions
and olive oil and garlic all night
These were grilled on the out
door barbecue after a large
kettle Of 81 fifts-beaffs and bacon
was cooked, and the fire used to
cook the large smoked beef
tongue which was TO form the
luscious meat of the second day
in short, the violent heat of
the coal fire was first used to
cook tongue and string beans,
then, when these were taken off
the steaks were cooked on a
fire which needed only a slight
bellows to bring it back TO a
rich, if dying. ember-ideal for
steaks.
On the second day the out
doors fire was used TO fry trap
per potatoes, ham squares and
eggs for brunch; and at night
it was used for corn-on- the-ear,
and coffee-pot coffee with the
melon which brought the holiday
to a happy finale.
Trapper potatoes. by-the-way.
are potatoes shaved. literally
shaved wafer-thin. mixed with
about half the quantity of sim
ilarly-shaved onions, both cooked
in heavy iron skillet with
small squares Of bacon Tor ham,
and its seasoned, tasty fat. The
secret Of this grand breakfast
dish is TO keep the ingredients
turning frequently with big
pancake-turner, so that the pota-
toes will be crisp on both sides,
but still remain moist.
Simple meat dishes, prepared
barbecue style. really need no
seasoning but the delicious char
resulting from the strong heat
Of the Goals But. for those who
relish snappy sauces, there is no
better way 10 take them than
via the barbecue trail.
GENERAL of the most notable
- recipes of this type of cookery
feature special barbecue sauces
which means a tomato sauce,
spiced and laced with mustard,
pepper, cayenne and Worcester
shire, in which the meat is bast-
ed as it is cooked, or with which
it is spread before cooking. These
are particularly fine with pork,
or beof-and-pork combinations.
For those who like fish, there
is a special wire-meshed gadget
TO broil them easily. This looks
much like a wire-mesh snowshoe
or racquet, and is designed so
that a whole fish, such as
large sea bass, can be placed in
the racquet, which is 10 be held
over the Goals on its extended
handle. To turn the fish, just

standard cement blocks, obtain

yard for very little. BY building
the blocks up at either side, and
completely filling in the back
space joining these two side
arms, one has a cement fire

level by 6 inches.
In the small recess in the
center where a real CRATE would
be placed, stands a portable
metal grill; on this, hot-dogs,
hamburgs, and any moderate
size steak can be cooked over
the glowing Goals which result
when the grill's shallow coal-boX
is filled with charcoal briquets.
At later time, an additional
section Of cement blocks was
built as a wing" on one end,
in order TO permit the installa-
ton Of a larger and much more
substantial iron firebox grill,
which looks like the typical
CRATE" Of any iron range,
On its surface, one may set

when heated, either with char
coal or wood, its exceedingly hot
fire will permit speed cooking

For those who are technically
interested. it may be added that
the entire top surface Of this
large grill, that is, the surround
ing surface where it is flush
with the cement blocks, was
made about S inches wide, and
finished off with a smooth or
finish coat" OF cement; this
gives a fine broad work surface

On Net Incomes

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 QNS).
Treasury experts today pre-
pared to submit TO Economic Ad-
ministrator James f. Byrnes plans
that will slash big salaries to a
net limit of $4,000 a year.
Recommendations for the salary
limitation and for stabilizlng sal
aries over $1,000 a year will be
placed before Byrnes by Monday.
In asking for the recommended
tons, Byrnes requested that re-
strictions On big incomes be even
more stringent than regulations
set by President Roosevelts exec
utive order.
Plans under study, II was
learned. call for cutting all private
salaries TO the $4,000 figure
either by taxation or a system
of penalty fees.
The Presidents order would
have government agencies refuse

of more than $4,000 a year as
corporation overhead
deductible in tax computations or
charged as cost in war contracts.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Stabi-
lization OF the nations manpower
in its present jobs and extension
of rental ceilings to business build
ings as well as dwellings are two
pressing problems which James +.
Byrnes, commander of the ma
tons new economic front, said
today were receiving his immedi-
ate attention.
The wiry. dapper director OF
economic sterilization said he had
begun to explore both subjects as
he sat in his new offices in the
east executive wing of the White
House and discussed the vast scope
of his present job.
1.-THE freezing of wages has a
direct and important bearing on
the first problem" said the man
who left the Supreme Court
only six days ago 10 direct the
nations campaign TO control the
cost of living.
eft creates the very real dan
ger that the worker who cannot
get wage increase from his
present employer may migrate
next door or around the corner
where wages are frozen at a
higher level" Byrnes explained.
Thus the term I'm gra y
worker" ceases 10 describe only
seasonal agricultural workers and
becomes applicable as well to
workers who migrate from bench,
desk or factory assembly line,
lured either next door or around
the corner" by the prospect OF
higher wages.
NO EASY SOLUTION
1.-THE executive order creating
the new office of economic stabi-
IizatiOn specifically directs that
consideration be given this
problem" the director contin-
ued. ALREADY innumerabie let
tiers and inquiries on this
problem have been received by
my office"
The man in charge Of the ma
tons war on initiation has no
quick or easy solution TO offer in
the sterilization Of all the nations
potential migratory workers. This
is a problem Which will require
careful study.
But he already has an excellent
idea Of what he will do in the
matter OF rental ceilings on bust
ness buildings.
AT the moment. rent ceilings
apply only to dwellings" Byrnes
said, "but II is patent that what
the grocer pays In rent must
affect the prices he charges and
his own margin of profit.
BUSINESS RENTALS UP

increases in business rentals In
New York as Of October !. One
increase In rent amounted to 80

Jap-Nazi Negotiations
On Indies Securities
Reported Dead|ocked
Toxic Declared Denying
Germon Rights to
Interest in Holdings
By Radio to The Star.

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE,
May 20. - Negotiations between
Germany and Japan concerning
the fate of Netherlands Indies
securities, now the property Of
German shareholders, have prac-
tically reached a standstill owing
to japanese refusal to acknowl-
edge the rights Of the German
shareholders as the legitimate
heirs Of the former Dutch securi-
ties, according to private ac-
counts from an excellent source
in this part Of Europe.
Soon after the occupation OF Hol-
land in May. 1910, German bankers
of Frankfurt and Berlin were in
vited" by the Reich authorities to
buy as many Indies shares in the
newly occupied country as they
could find, the story says. German
bankers, as we'll as industrialists and
businessmen. eagerly followed this
advice, assisted by the occupational
authorities Of Holland
Although the present amount Of
German investments in Dutch con-
Germs In the Netherlands Indies Is
not known, competent circles de-
scribe it as very considerable"
Following the conquest of those
Dutch colonies by the japanese,
German bankers asked the Wilhelm
strasse to intervene in order that
their rights should be preserved,
hoping that clauses in the tripartite
pact would assure them of no finan-
cial loss. Japan's answer is reported
to have been in the negative.
Japan stated its position that the
Dutch companies were practically
their only assets to cover their war
expenditures. 1t was added that
Japan had thrice proposed to the
Dutch Governor a peaceful occupa-
ton of the islands, stressing that
the Governors refusal freed them
from any obligation toward Dutch
enterprises. Consequently, the rights
Of Germans as well as other foreign
shareholders could no longer be
recognized by the imperial govern
ment.
Japan's answer has thoroughly
disappointed the German financiers,
who fully realize now that whatever
the outcome Of the war, they are
the losers. These capitalists in the
Reich, of course. make their govern
ment responsible for losses sus-
tanned. the report says.
