BARS NEGRO LAWYERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 )ANP)
that the district court
here has followed Systematic and
devised plan to exclude Negro at
torneys from membership on the
committee on admissions and griev-
ances Of the district court bar"
Attorney James J. Laughlin, white,
asked the court for permission to
file a petition for a writ of man
damus, through which he seeks to
force the appointment Of a Negro
lawyer to the committee.
This committee, whose members
are appointed by the district judges,
passed on qualifications of pros
pective bar members and hears
charges filed against practitioners.
There is a large number of Negro
lawyers practicing in the district.
Members Of the bench, in certain
courts, rotate their assignments and
each judge has an opportunity to
serve as president of the judges for
specified term. On several occa-
sions this honor has befallen Ar
mond j. Scott, the Negro member
of the bench here and it is unusual
that proceedings to name a Negro
member to the committee above
had not been instructed prior to his
death.

Your State Health
Officer Says

The perennial plague Of the common
cold is starting on its climb toward the
high peak of incidence. From now or
millions Of coughs, sneezes and s~niffles
will be abroad in the land: any home.
school, store or office is likely to be
the scene of a bout-or series of bouts
with this malady. Apparently there
is little natural immunity to colds; the
young the old, and the strong and the
delicate are all alike victims.
If colds would stop with being simply
colds the discomfort, suffering, incon-
v~enience and economic loss caused by
them would be bad enough. But un-
fortunately, the cod may be but the be-
ginning of other diseases such as meas
les, whooping cough, scarlet fever, ton
s%illitis, diphtheria, or pneumonia. With
such complications possible, especially
in the case of children, the cold should
never be regarded as trivial and newt
able, but as the potentially dangerous
condition it is.
Despite extravagant claims that GER
tain remedies will "break up" a cole
within a few hours, the fact remains
that there is no specific treatment

orally, many a housewife is in need OF
information on cookery to make this
wild meat a delicious treat for the
whole family.
One reason for the waste of meat
taken by hunters is that care is not
taken after the game is shot so that it
come to the housewife edible and at
tractive.
Whether game should be dressed i'm
mediately after shooting or not depends
on the weather. Birds may be carried
through the day without cleaning but
in warm weather those kept longer than
a day without ice or refrigeration
should be drawn. The feathers can be
left on until the hunter returns home.
After the bird is drawn the body cavity
should be wiped dry but not washed
with water. Most hunters skin game
birds instead of plucking feathers be-
cause it's easier and makes less work for
the cook. But many expert game cooks
hold that some of the fine flavor OF
the meat is lost when the skin is re-
moved.
Game animals should be cleaned the
same day they are killed. Many hunt
ers carry a clean paper or cloth sack
in their hunting coats to keep game
| clean. Usually animals that nave been
shot do not need to be bled.
An important point for the cook to
remember is that wild meat is likely to
be dryer and tougher than domestic
meat. Game leads an active, vigorous
life which keeps muscles firm and pre-
vents acquiring much fat. This makes
the meat different from that of domes-
tic animals which have been confined
and fattened. Oten game needs longer
cooking than other meat and cooks bes'
in a covered pan at low temperature
Because most wild meat is lean, fa'
should be added.
Otherwise, most of the rules Cor cook
ing poultry and meat hold for game
Wild meat that is young and tender
NAV be broiled, fried or roasted; Older
meat is praised or fricassed (smother
ed). If the hunter brings in game OF
different ages to cook together, the COOK
will be wise to use long, slow, moist
cooking which makes the tougher meat
tender. Allowing older meat to age
for several days and then parboilinf
before cooking also helps.
Wild duck meat is darker and dryer
than domestic duck. Roast with strips
! of bacon on the breast in a covered
pan. and serve rare to prevent it's be
coming dry.
Many of the small animals that farm
ers and gardeners have found trouble
some because of the larger numbers
are good eating as well as good hunt
ing. Rabbit, opossum and squirrel mea'
is light, fine-grained and generally ten
der. Only the oldest animals need par
boiling before cooking. W~oodchuck
raccoon, muskrat, and beaver meat Il
dark. Woodchuck and raccoon meat needs
parboiling. Muskrat may be soaked
overnight in salt or vinegar solution tt
remove the gamey flavor.
Some animals take on considerable ia
in late fall before they turn in for thu
winter. Remove all fat from raccoor
and beaver meat before cooking because
the fat has a strong odor. Excess ia
on woodchuck and opossum may be re
moved to keep the meat from belnf
greasy, but is good in flavor.
