Vegetable Preparation

IyEVHE amount of vital food ele- ments. as well as the real en- ljoyment of your home garden this year. will depend largely upon proper preparation of the vege' tables for the table.
 Begin to use your garden vege. tables when they are young. They are more tender at the early stage, and the flavor Is finer and more delicate. Gather leafy crops early fin the morning. if possible. before the sun wilts them. If they are to he kept until q later meal. wash them we'll. cover. and place tn the refrigerator Pick peas and sweet corn within an hour before smelling and shucking for the kettle: # gathered very long before cooking, they lose both sweetness and flavor. Gathering any of the vegetables too long before using causes loss Of vitaminSA
 Scrape 0r peel vegetables thinly: valuable minerals are just beneath the outer skin. Young carrots. beets, and summer squash should merely be scrubbed and never peeled at all. Neither should vege- tables be soaked in water before cooking: this. too. causes loss of minerals.
 Cook vegetables quickly and only until barely tender. Usually they taste better # they are slightly undercooked rather than soft and mushy from Overcooking. In boil. ing. use only Q small amount of water. saving whatever liquid re- mains when the cooking is finished. If there Is too much to serve with the vegetable. keep it to add to soup.
 In boiling vegetables. make sure the water is really boiling before adding them. If put over the fire in cold water. vegetables lose color, flavor. texture. and mucW of their food value.
 Vegetables fresh from the garden need very little dressing up to make them deliciOusly appetizlng. Simple methods Of cookery are best wlth the simplest Of seasonings added Until you have eaten vege- Iables fresh picked from y0ur own garden and properly cooked. you do not know the true taste Og vege' sahlaa aA sheIT best. ..s

PORTABLE CHAPEL
 PROPOSAL BEATEN
Rev. Francis Ayres Makes
 Suggestion at EpiscO- paIian Farley

Rev. Francis O. Ayres, Jr., rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, at the 158th annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut at Hartford yesterday, proposed that one-half of one per cent be added to the diocesan as- sessment levied on the parishes and the funds realized used for purchase of portable chapels.
 However, the local rector's pro- posal met with objection when it was pointed out that the diocesan assessment was for administration of the diocese, whereas MT. Ayres' proposal came under the missions program. Second, 1t was question ed whether portable churches can be obtained now. in view of the governments order limiting new construction to $500.
 Rev. Dr. Thomas S. Cline of Christ church in Watertown, Rev. Henry E. Kelly of St. Michaels church in Litchfield, and Very Rev Arthur F. McKenny, dean of Christ church cathedral in Hartford and former assistant at St. Johns Epis- copal church here under the late Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, were elect ed members of the standing con- mittee.
 Rev. MT. McKenny proposed a permanent memorial to the late Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster, rec ommending an organized effort be made to raise $100,000 to be known as the Bishop Brewster Memorial Foundation, the income to be used for work among Episcopal students at Yale and for social service in the diocese, the foundation to be ad- ministered by a commission to be elected later. The suggestion was referred to the executive council with power.

HURRICANE OF
 WAR CASH HITS ], KEY WEST,FLA
BY MILTON CARR

BX M1LION CAHH
 Omitted Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Key West, Fla, May 20 - (UP) The war boom has hit Key West like a tropical hurricane and lifted this southernmost city of the United States from the doldrums of decay.
 The navy, which abandoned Key West when the world was talking diramament. and everlasting peace, has respossessed this Gibraltar of the Gulf of Mexico, given it a new coat of paint and, in period of little more than year, put some $12,000,000 in its collective pocket.
 Approximately 10000 persons, not counting army and navy personnel, are crowded upon this island of four square miles. Small apartments rented for $100 month and up be- fore rent-control was ordered, if you could find a vacancy. Food and clothing have scared in price.
 New Water Pipeline
 In 1886 building permits issued here totaled $65,000. Last year they jumped to $576,OOo. Today bar racks, mess halls and apartment houses are springing up almost overnight.
 To meet the increased popula- tion's demand on the city's meager water supply, 1,500 workers are working around the clock laying d $3,500,000 pipeline through which fresh water will be brought to Key West.
 In 1885 Key West was dependent upon government relief. With the cigar industry moved to Tampa and running once a profitable enterprise ended, the population dwindled to 12,434.
 A few tourists attracted by the city's quaintness-visited Key West but not in sufficient numbers to provide an income for the native 'conchs." Buildings were standing empty and Key West had much the appearance of a ghost town"
 Today its streets are teeming with thousands of service men and civil- ian workers. Bicycles still the principal mode of transportation line its sidewalks, while inside its damned stores and restaurants, shoppers stand in line for service. Only 90 miles from the northern coast of Cuba, Spanish is spoken in Key West almost as much as English, Cuban sandwiches, Span ish dinners and "turtleburgers" are featured on every menu.
 Bars are lined three deep from dusk to dawn, and many never close their doors. Telephone and telegraph facilities are so over- taxed it sometimes requires several hours to complete call or dispatch a message.
 Now the headquarters for the seventh naval district, this histor- ical city overnight has become one of Florida's most important points.
 Keywesters already have for- gotten the lean years past. Key West is at war.
