Meat Situation Still
An Enigma
Although many dealers will tell
you that they have plenty OF pork
and beef available, others will cry
that they can't get these meats for
love or money. In the majority of
small exclusive" retail markets,
buyers can find pretty much any
thing they wish-in many Of the
larger stores supplies are so skimpy
that unless the housewife does her
marketing at 8 am, there is moth
ing left In the way Of meat for her
to buy. This would appear to be a
matter OF faulty distribution, judg-
ing by the ease with which other
dealers seem to obtain a sufficient
quantity of meat-and also by the
fact that where one concern means
that it can get no beef, another of
about the same size and Importance,
may feature roasts OF beef as its
week end buy
Some markets have reported 4
shortage this week of smoked hams,
along with bacon. We have not been
able to ascertain as yet whether this
condition Is general in Washington
or not. There seems to be 4 great
mystery about this meat business!
However, we do know that there is
plenty of lamb and veal still avail
able; that odd meats, such as frozen
beef tongues, beef, pork and veal
livers, and beef kidneys will be at
tractively priced for the week end,
and that il you hunt long enough
and Tar enough, you can come home
with a nice steak or mess of pork
chops In your shopping carrier.
Fish Is Plentiful
And Very Good
Fish goes along serenely here in
Washington, in spite of rumors Of
scarcities and higher prices. For q
nominal sum you can buy deliciously
fresh tinkers, mackerel, founder fl
lets, butterflsh, croakers, rockfish,
bass, trout and perch. Nice salmon
is available, too, but a bit more in
the luxury brackets. Tender little
scrod from Boston, good shrimps
and, OF course, oysters, are also rec
commended. oysters, by the way,
are higher than in other years, but
still remain q good and nourishing
buy.

Modern Roasting

Now autumn comeS-the time to
rediscover toothsome morsels in
roast chicken! And there are lots
of roasting chickens. The market
offers for your selection delectable
roasting chicken In any size to suit
your needs, 31z to pounds.
The poultry industry has pro-
duced bumper crop to help in the
wartime situation, for eating chick

patriotic to eat chicken!
Modern roasting is tailormade for
today's busy schedule. No fat-spat-
tered oven, no overbrowning, no
drying out of meat, no exhausted
homemaker when these simple rules
are followed:
Roast well-greased, trussed bird
in shallow pan on rack at constant
low temperature, 1926, to $50 degrees

the pan. Basting Is unnecessary

housewives we met lately. They
manage to lay by part of the fam
ily's sugar ration each week, saving

. difference, for the baked goods

wise he wouldn't be lonely-get In
touch with one Of the many agencies
who are just waiting to find him
tor you. Consult local USO head
quarters, for instance or the
YMCA, Knights Of Columbus,
YMHA, or any group that is active
n providing recreation for men in
the service-chaplains always know
the lonely boys In camp-the fellows
without mothers, sisters, sweet
hearts and wives to send them the
little Mxuries the other fellows get.
You can't, of course, send them
'gooey" cakes-they'd be messy" not
'gooey" by the time they arrived.
But there are many cakes, cookies,
candies and other homemade deli
sacies that are excellent travellers.
