Hearing Called
On Cafe Health
Regulations
Proposed Sanitary
Requirements Will Be
Argued February 10

The Commissioners today called q
public hearing at 10 am. February
10 in the board room of the District
Building on proposed regulations
governing the maintenance Of board
ing houses, restaurants, delicatessens
and catering establishments.
The proposed rules, which lay
down sanitary requirements, were
submitted to the Commissioners to-
day by Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech and mimeographed
copies will be made available to-
morrow.
Would Require Examinations.
The rules are the outgrowth of a
recent hearing of the House Dis
trict Committee in which members
deplored sanitary conditions in
Washington restaurants and urged
Health Officer George C. Rutland
to get tough" Principal feature of
the regulations is the requirement
that all boarding house and res
taurant managers take an examina-
ton to demonstrate their knowledge
of sanitation.
Another Health Department pro-
posal. which is expected to be
brought up at the public hearing. is
the suggested requirement that all
food handlers in boarding houses or
restaurants be compelled to obtain
health certificates.
Penalties Up TO $500 Fine.
In line with the admonition Of
several members of the House Dis
trict Committee "to clean up or close
up" the rules for both boarding
houses and food establishments call
for revocation of license for VIOLA
tions. In addition, violators of the
boarding house regulations are sub
ject, on conviction, to a fine of not
more than $500 as compared with an
$500 maximum fine in the case Of
food establishments.
DR.. r. r. Ashworth, director of ths
Health Departments sanitary in
spection, said that in general the
requirements for boarding houses
were less drastic than those for the
other eating establishments. In
general they establish standards for
floors, ceilings, walls. lighting, venti-
lation, doors, windows, water supply,
lavatory facilities, kitchen construc-
ton and dish-washing facilities,
storage and refrigeration.

i. S. NOW PAYING
PRICE FOR FOOLISH
SCRAPPING OF ARMS

That the American people are
now paying the price, which will
be costly to us. for reactionary fol-
lies of the Republican administra-
tions of 1921 and 1927, was made
evident recently when. according
to the New York Times, Rear Ad-
miral Percy W. Foote, Texas ma
terial procurement officer for the
Navy, estimated that the United
States must provide 10000, 900
lighting men and that half Of
them would be casualties.
This is the first time I have
ever ventured such an estimate"
Rear Admiral Foote told the Op-
timist Club at Houston. "It ia
purely my own" he said.
However I base my opinion on
the grim realities of having to
build now, by necessity, the armed
forces that we should have been
building years ago by volition."
The "fool doctrine" OF scrapping
our weapons OF war in the peace
moves of 1921 and 1927 had
brought US to our present predica-
ment, he declared, said the New
York Times.
"The notion that we can't get
into trouble il we stay within the
confines Of our own shores has
been the national policy for $50
years and ever 80 often that
policy has proved foolish" he said
in condemning isolationists.
Against realities now, our men
must go to the far ends Of the
earth to defend our shores, with
death and injuries inevitable, he
concluded.

OUR PROBLEM

In the great alliance of the
United Nations it is not a ques-
tion of any one Of US sending
our friends what we can spare
from our own defenses. We
knoW that we shall, none of us
be safe until the enemy is de-
feated everywhere in the
world. Our problem is to
destroy the forces Of the
Nazis, their hangers-on, and
the Japanese lords of slaughter
if we do not want them to de-
stroy us.

THE RECORD SPEAKS

The defense of the United States
today rests largely on three pivot
al measures: (D the repeal of
the arms-embargo, which made it
possible for our present allies to
get weapons; (2) lease-lend, which
gave them more direct and sub
stantial aid; and (3) Selective
Service, which gave US a real army
in moment Of great danger The
record shows that every one Of
these measures was adopted sole
ly because the President received
the support of large majority Of
his own party.
The tally of Republican votes in
both branches of Congress was:
% on repeal Of the arms-embargO,
only 20 in favor and 158 against;
(2) on lease-lend, only "a in favor
and 152 against; CD on Selective
Service, only So in favor and SO
against; and (4) on extension of
Selective Service, after it's first
year, only % in favor and 146
against.
This record is not a reflection on
the patriotism of the Congression-
n Republicans, but it is pretty tell
ing evidence of their inability to
reach sound judgments. (The
New York Times).

HOT OFF THE
GRIDDLE

The garnishing of the platters
as they come to the table adds to
the attraction Of the food without
the great expense Of time or
money; parsley. bed OF water
cress. lemon slices in different
ways for meat and fish dishes,
sliced hard boiled egg or minced
egg, minced parsley, or chives for
vegetables. The egg for the spin
ach, or the minced parsley, or the
cut lemon may be prepared in the
morning and kept in the ice box
ready for serving time. There are
simple knives on the market that
cut butter in attractive fluted
squares and make the butter as
neat as the usual butter ball in
fraction Of the time If the butter
is rolled with pats, a sprig of par
sley can be struck in one end for
decoration. Cream cheese balls
add garnish to the salad.
When judging the age of a
chicken, observe the skin. The
skin and feet of a young chicken
are smooth and soft, and it has pin
feathers. Long hairs and loose
neck skin are signs Of age. Also,
the skin is coarser, the claws are
larger and less sharp. The tip
of the breast bone of the young
fowl is pliable. The better chickens
and turkeys have plump, wide
bodies; short, thick legs, and
round breasts. The female is
usually more tender than the male.
Decorate melon slices and grape
fruit halves with sprigs Of fresh
mint, or with whole or sliced
maraschino cherries, red or green.
To scald milk, place the milk in
the top of a double boiler over
pan of water. When the water
in the lower pan boils, the milk
is scalded.
To carve standing roast, the
meat is placed on the platter, bone
side down. The fork is placed
firmly in the top of the meat and
the sharp knife slices the meat as
thinly as possible through the
heavy and thin end Of the roast.
Thick slices of roast beef are al
most too big for one portion and
do not taste as we'll as thin slices.
Give a second helping rather than
too clumsy first serving.
To skin a fish, remove the fins,
cut off a strip of skin along the
backbone, and cut the skin around
the gills. Pull the skin off with
one hand. If the flesh is soft,
work slowly and closely follow the
skin with the knife, to avoid tear
ing the flesh.

pest.
We have been at war with the
Axis now for over nine months.
Most Of those living room generals
who early this year predicted
1912 victory, have staged strategic
retreats.
We have suffered some 10000
casualties. We have suffered de-
feats. We have now just taken the
turn in the long road that leads to
victory.
Before peace comes, we must
come to grips with an enemy un-
surpassed in history in it's perfec-
ton Of the slaughter OF human be-
ings.
We know this is to be total war.
Neither women nor children are
safe in this struggle.
Still. too many of US regard the
struggle as something to be en-
countered only In the newspapers
or on the radio or through a series
Of petty annoyances on the Home
Front.
From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh,
in Baltimore and a hundred other
cities, war to many women means
only that maids are "just impos-
sible to get, my dear, because
they can make so much money in
a war plant"
In Chester, Hagerstown and
Bethlehem and scores Of other
communities. motorists still seek
ways of obtaining gasoline so they
may continue their Sunday driving
for the duration. The war mustn't
interfere with personal pleasure,
no sir!
Too many Of US dream of coming
out Of this war with more money,
more comfort than when we went
into it.
Let's face the facts.
We have not yet come to grips
with the enemy. When we do, it
will be no different than it has
been for the Russians, the Chinese,
the Australians, the British. the
Jugoslavs.
1t will not be newspaper war
then as the gold stars begin ap-
pearing in the homes Of your COM
munity.
Before Stalingrad, the Russians
last week were suffering casualties
Of some 1000 men each day. In
one week, on this one front, Axis
guns were piling up casualties sur
passing our total losses over the
past nine months.
Certainly Russian guns were
taking a toll equally as large
These two forces realize the nature
Of the struggle. Any nation that
has come OF grips with the Axis
realizes that it is a struggle that
will decide the history of the
world many years to come and the
opponents are willing to pay the
price.
We have not yet begun to pay a
fair share of our bill in this strug-
gle. At the time of Pearl HarbOr,
we were already bemoaning the
cost of re-armament although only
two of each ten dollars we earned
were going into war production.
Closer to the struggle, the price
nations were willing to pay to at
tain their ends sharply increased.
Britain was spending six out Of
ten dollars and Germany was pay
ing seven. Britain is now paying
eight and paying it cheerfully.
