calling him The Cuckoo CIock'D the object
Of the compliment all at once caught him
off balance with couple of legal lawmakers
The first blow was a suit for annulment
IN which Lcle claimed that their marriage
was no good because his divorce from his
first wife an obscure Elizabeth Eppersou
and from his second Nellie Kunz, a shipping
heircss had both been faulty
Then, while he was still recling, she clipped
him again, this time with a request for an
accounting of the cash they had placed in
joint bank account.
The plain implication was that he had
married her for her money TO begin with
and after that had not fully accounted for
about 1925 900 Of it.
Mr.. Weiss advance notice of both suits
came, not from his wife, but from her attor-
ncy who, after calling him into conference,
remarked:
Mrs Wells has asked me TO tell you that
she is sorry but she doesn't want TO live
with you any more"

ing him already half way out of his pre-
dcament What had seemed the last act
of his little drama now appears to have
been only part of the prologue.
II had been generally supposed that the
withdrawing of Leles New York suits, for
annulment and an accounting, had been
prompted not by consideration for Mr.
Wells but by the unitarian desire to get
nd of him as quickly as possible.
This opinion seemed 20 be confirmed by
the Chicago divorce. The only reason she
had shifted her forces there it was SAID
was because it offered certain strategic
advantages as a battle ground.
Consequently, though the charges
brought against Mr. Wells in New York
had been technically withdrawn they still
lived on in gossip. Striking al the heart of

operations in the lumber business.
Next day she admitted that she might have
hidden the jewels and then forgotten where,
and. simultaneously, Mr. Wells began to have
STRINGS of recollection about the cash.
The fne-tooth comb that law enforcement
agencies reserve for such emergencies was
busted of and run through the house
And what do you think?
In Mrs Wells closet was a bag containing
all the jewels and some Of the lucre
Shortly afterwards police announced that
the case was closed They had obtained
signed statement from Mr. Wells, admitting
that he had sent the rest of the money for
safe-keeping to a New York lawyer, who
represented him and his wife.
In the sense that Roe emerged from this
ambiguous incident with its solution, he can
be said TO have pulled a Houdni: but the
whole business set him back so far in his
wife's affections that he had TO pull another
one almost at once.
Emily sued for divorce charging that he
had embarrassed her at the time of the mock
robbery and, more serious, cut him off in

Not only did this impetuous performance

Food demonstration
Classes Forming

A course Of training for women
wishing to volunteer services as
assistants for wartime food dem-
onstration classes is being Of
fered by the War Food Demon
stration Committee Of the Civ
iian War Services at the audi
torium of the Washington Gas
Light Co. Glasses are being
formed to train women to teach
homemakers how to use meat
savers and extenders, to make
their ration food coupons meet
their family needs, the best
methods for serving rationed
canned foods, etc.
The course will consist of five
lessons under expert food demon
Stration by such teachers as Miss
Ruth Chambers, national home
economics representative for the
Live Stock and Meat Board; Miss
Mary Turner, home service di-
rector of the Potomac Electric
Light Co.; Mrs. Alice Burtis of
Southern Diaries. and Mrs. Err
nestine Quinn OF the YWCA.
Registration is now open, and
1t is hoped that many women will
wish to avail themselves of this
opportunity to serve on the home
front. The need is for assistants
for both day and evening DEM
onstrations. For, further infor-
nation and registration, call Miss

An excellent way to stretch nu-
tritional values is to prepare soup
frequently In which the coarse por-
tions and outer leaves of vegetables
usually thrown away can be utilized.
Meat broth Is not adequate as a
main dish unless pieces of the meat
and vegetables are served in it.
Nutritious meat stock begins with
two to three pound shin bone or
knuckle of beef or veal Cracked by
the butcher, with some meat on
the bone. Add bones from other
meat purchases to enrich flavor.
Use fairly heavy kettle and for
seasoning add an onion, a carrot cut
in pieces. one half bay leaf, several
whole peppers, q Sprig' of parsley, q
few celery leaves. Add cold water to
cover, about eight cups; place over
top gas burner and after liquid boils
for five minutes skim; put on cover,
turn flame to controlled simmer, for
soup must be cooked gently to ex-
tract the marrow and gelatinous
substances from the bone; this may
take two to three hours.
Pour of broth and include pieces
OF meat; store In jars in re-
frigerator. When ready to reheat
add one-half cup diced mixed veg
etables for each portion to be
served; season with salt to taste.
Cut vegetables fine and cook quickly
to retain their mineral and vitamin
values. Outer leaves OF cabbage
and stalks of cauliflower may be
shredded and thus used. Soup is
extra delicious If served with
freshly boiled dumping in each plate
Do not try to keep soup too many
days in the refrigerator. Either
make only enough for one meal, or
reheat soup to be reserved for a
second meal, the next day.

Keeping Meats
Smoked Items Require as Careful
Treatment as Do Fresh Varieties

what kinds of meat keep best?"
What is the right way to store
meat?" are questions oft asked these
days when every meat purchase is
important, when there's less meat on
the civilian front because fighting
men come first.
Meat is a perishable product, as
every one knows. Some meats are
more perishable than others. And
because OF varying factors-length
of time it's held by the dealer, the
efficiency of the home refrigerator,
or quality of the meat-there can
be no set rules on the length of
time meat can be stored safely at
home.
Recalling the smoked meats hang
Ing all winter in farm woodshed
or milkhouse years ago, many folks
think smoked meats keep indefi-
nitely. Truth Is, modern smoked
meats should be stored as carefully
as fresh meats. The improvements
In smoking of meats to produce mild,
uniformly favored hams. picnics and
bacon, have increased the need for
vigilance in caring for them. Hams
no longer need soaking overnight
or precooking, but they need care
full refrigeration just as fresh meats
do.
While some women think that
cooking meat preserves it, experts
advise that cooked meat, too, must
be stored carefully to prevent waste.
To prevent drying out, store left
over cooked meat, covered, in the
coldest part of the refrigerator's
storage space where fresh meat is
kept. For leftover dish, cut up or
grind meat just before preparing
the dish-rather than before storing.
Use ground meat within "a hours
Of Its purchase, since 1T is more
perishable than larger cut of meat.
Keep all meats-fresh, cured,
smoked or cooked-very cold, that
is, at temperatures below 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. Even at these tempera-

lures, remember all meat is perish
able and must be used promptly
and that includes hams and bacon.
In many refrigerators the constant
opening of doors raises the tenn
.perature to so degrees Fahrenheit
with subsequent shortening of the
life of the meat.
Frozen meats can be kept frozen
for much longer periods. Because
much more pefishable after thawing,
they should never be refrozen after
thawing. Cook them Immediately
after thawing, or let thaw, in the
oven as part of the cooking process.
Use variety meats such as liver,
kidney, hearts, sweetbreads and
brains within "a hours of purchase.
A good rule on keeping meats is
to keep all meats in the coldest part
of the refrigerator's storage space,
give smoked meats the same careful
treatment and refrigeration as fresh
meats, and prepare and serve meats
soon after buying so that all their
tine, fresh flavor will be retained.

Asparagus Dishes
Succulent Stalks Always Popular;
Sauces Enhance Their Flavor

/ Asparagus when 1t becomes plen-
tiful enough to allow us to have 1t
on the menu without stretching the
food budget too much, always re-
ceives hearty welcome. This year
we are appreciating 1t even more
than usual, with canned products
'rationed and many Of the other
fresh vegetables 50 high in price.
It seems to go well. with any type Of
meat or fish, and when served at a
meal which has leftover meat as the
basis, it adds note of interest.
At least once during the season,
and perhaps more often, some of us
like to make it the main dish of the
meal and to have second helpings.
1t will be satisfying enough If served
on toast and with sauce which
contains milk, eggs or cheese. We
shall rarely be able to serve Hol-
!landaise this season, as this de-
tmands plenty OF butter or mar
garine. Fully as good, however, Is
the sauce made with egg yolks and
sour cream which I call Michael"

tablespoonsful of mayonnaise, not
on the ration list, is beaten also
makes a good dressing.
Now, word about cooking aspar-

utensil from the two portions of my
double boiler. After the stalks have
been washed and trimmed I tie
them together in bundles, each the
proper size for one serving, and
place them standing in the upper
part of the double boiler with about
two inches of water, to which I add
little salt. I use the bottom of
the boiler as the cover. This allows
the tender heads to steam, and the
tougher ends of the stalks to cook
in the water. Time of cooking will
be from Is to Is minutes, depend
ing upon the size of the stalks.
When the heads are tender the
stalks will be done.
If you like to cut your asparagus
before cooking, place the cut stalks
in pan with just enough water to
cover the bottom to the depth of a
quarter of an inch. Then cook about
10 minutes, then add more tender
portions and continue cooking for
five or more minutes.
