the wonderfully successful stand the
Chinese have made against their
doughty, but disreputable, foe and for
their evident determination to fight
to the death for their homes and
firesides.
Of course. this attitude means these
people are one of the allies of the
United States in their fight with the
Japs. There must be the warmest
of feeling between the Sun Natives
and the people of America should not
be slow in declaring their loyalty to
the Chinese cause. Next Monday

The opportunity to train young
men for citizenship is unsurpassed,
but the problems of the organization
are just now stupendous because of
the fact that thousands of scoutmast-
ers are going in to military service.
Here is a chance for Christian men,
past military age, to step into the
breach, fill the ranks, and carry on
a magnificent work. Certainly, it will
take evenings away from home, time

The purpose of the Meeting was to

need and necessity for every family
in the County who is in position to
do so to. have a Vegetable or Victory
Garden. There are three reasons for
this:
l. So that more food can be releas-
ed for the Allied Countries by grow
ing as far as possible what we con-
sumo, not only for the summer but
grow for canning, storing and dry
ing.
z. Because it is more economical,
more money will be available for De-
tense Stamps and Bonds.
3. For better Neutrality-suspicious.
especially the green and yellow ones
contains vitamins essential to well
balanced diet and health.
The result was that each Club Sc
lected certain Communities in the
County in which to hold an afternoon
or evening meeting to go into detail
with the people, the Importance of
having a Vegetable Garden, plans
for growing it, and conserving the
food after it is grown.

GOV. O'CONOR
FAVORS REPEAL
OF STATE TAX
Backs Proposition To Eliminate
All Tax On Real Estate Of
Whatever Kinds
NATIONAL TAX BURDEN
ONE REASON FOR REPEAL

Declaring that "it is my deliberate
judgement that the State tax on real
estate can be and should be eliminated
altogether" Governor Herbert r. o.
Conor voiced the hope to members OF
the Real Estate Board of Baltimore at
their annual dinner last week that,
at will be entirely possible to have
the State function on a pay-as-you-go
basis, so that real estate taxation will
not be necessary to meet carrying
charges or for amortization"
Because of the fact" Governor o.
Conor declared, that Federal eXpen-
ditures staggering in amount, must be
made for war purposes, it is abso-
lutely necessary that the cost of State
Government should be held to a min
imum.
Unnecessary OUTLAWS by the State
must be avoided and certain under
takings, which in ordinary times are
iustifiable, must be suspended for
the duration" Taxpayers will be bur
dened so heavily with Federal imposts
that it is our obligation to pare down
taxes wherever possible. Such State
policy dictated the reduction of Real
Estate taxes, made recently. Yester-
day it was published that from the
State surplus, no less a sum than Sd
100000 was returned to real estate
taxpayers, representing 40 percent
reduction in the tax rate this year anC
next year as compared with 1871.
ct is gratifying to report that the
State tax on real estate today, is the
lowest in 81 years in Maryland. But
further reductions should be made. L
is my belief that in order to avoit
duplication of taxation, this source 0.
revenue should be left for the sub
divisions of the State.
st seems clear that owners of rea
estate are entitled to this considera
ton. While owners of personal prop
erty have not been compelled, in man.
instances, to pay taxes unless thei
securities were income-producing tn
owners of real estate have been com
PEELED to continue to pay taxes OF
non-producing property. In addition
real estate owners have been compel
ed to pay many other kinds of take
which the average citizen has had t.
bear.
There is also another most impor
tant factor involved in this situation
When the State abolishes real estate
taxation, it will then be taking Ions
step toward solving the problem o.
the dependency of local governments
upon the State Government for par
tial support. In fairness to the lOca
subdivision, as well as to the State
a system should be devised whereby
they do not have to depend on the
State Government for any such reven
ue." Whereas the Maryland bonded
indebtedness was $48,150,000 when he
became Governor, the Governor tolc
the assemblage by Sept. of 1912 il
will have been reduced to $31, 725,000

OF course you yourself probably
treat those loaves of bread which
you purchase so reasonably at the
grocer's or bakers with the respect
they deserve and never allow the
end of a loaf to go moldy in the
bread Ox.
Not every one is like you, unless
practice has changed very much
since the period of the last war.
At that time when we were saving
wheat and other food products so
that we could send more abroad
an inspection of garbage cans in
all sections of New York was in
stituted. In spite of all the propa-
ganda the bread waste was enor-
nous and it was general. Even
loaves still wrapped in the original
papers had been thrown away, prob
ably because they had grown stale.
We have become so accustomed
to use fresh bread on our tables
that we are spoiled But it is actual
ly true that stale bread makes the
best toast 1t also makes the best
stufflng and is much better for
brown betty and custard-bread pud-
ding than the fresh product.
If you like crustless toast or sand
wiches, the crusts may often be put
to good use, if they are dried and
rolled, to coat foods which are to
be fried If they are not to be used
Immediately they should be placed

Rockies in the rough" is the gay
name for the center OF this buffet
table which is ready for almost any
kind of party this season. Really
they're delicately cooked veal cubes
on skewers stood tent fashion in a
huge bowl Of shoestring potatoes.
With parties bobbing up spon-
taneously as they do it's smart
hostess who plans simple refresh
ments. With setup such as pic
tured here she can prepare the
rockies" ahead of time and keep
them hot. Then all she needs do is
to arrange potatoes and skewered
meat in the big bowl, pour mugs of
cider and set out the dessert of fresh
salted nuts and ruby-red apples. It's
all as easy as that.
Equally as simple is to serve and
eat. Guests fill their, plates with
the food, which can be eaten from
the hand. And how crunchy and
tasty it all is, calling for more and
more, which should please any host
eSS.
This buffet party table is mex
pensive to set. Spread it with a
rough-textured cloth, such as a bur-
lap weave, or with a gayly plaided
cloth. Bring out grandma's chop
ping bowl for the rockies" and
match with wooden plates from the
dime store. Mugs of crockery or
glass carry the cider in appropriate
style. Pick up some novel contain
ers for the peanuts and apples, per-
haps an amusing dustpan and shiny
tray, both of Mexican tin. Gay nap
kins and paper "panties" for the
skeWers also come from the dime
store.

the pork patties are prepared as
you ordinarily prepare sausage cakes
with this difference: Here you have
purchased a pound of good pork
no trimmings, little fat. You have
done your own grinding, or, better
yet, chopping, and you have plat
ter of four or five nice patties which
will not disappear while frying.
And now with this we need our
sauce of tomatoes, because this sauce
helps along both the patties and
the spoon bread. Some folks like
butter on their spoon bread-I pre-
fer gravy or sauce.
Our present recipe for tomato
sauce is quick, simple and econom-
ical. Merely open a tin of con-
densed tomato soup and as it Is
being heated add two tablespoon
fuls of lemon juice, tablespoonful
of sugar, two pinches of grounc
cloves and simmer to the desired
thickness. Note that tomato sauce
cooks down to the desired consist
ency. 1t does not require any foul
and butter thickening.
To this sauce you may add, il
you like, a bit of chopped olive
leftover mushrooms, or a hard.
boiled egg cut up small, or all three
of these ingredients.
OF course, the cole slaW is simple
and by now you have it made. But

Sir Stafford Grips said today
Hitler faced certain defeat, in a
message directed at German
workers by the British broad
casting corporation in an early
morning broadcast shortly after
Sir Stafford's elevation to the
War Cabinet.
Sir Stafford, former ambas-
sador to Russia, dealt first with
the Soviet Union where, he said,
industry has been placed on a
100 per cent war basis and
every worker xxx is ready to
die for his land and for the
achievements of his people"
Thus, between Hitler and his
certain defeat there stands today
nothing but the spring often
sive xxx.
Every English worker is de-
termined to do his part so that
this offensive will be repulsed."
He acknowledged that domi-
nation of the seas in the south
western Pacific had been lost
but asserted 1.-THE Allies will re-
gain their superiority"
"Four-fifths of the world
stands on our side today" he
went on. 1--WE know that we arc
fighting for the cause of justice,
for the same cause for which
workers have been fighting for
more than $50 years."
