From the time he was first

President Roosevelt visited De-

The first time he visited the
city as a prominent political fig
ure was in 1882 after his first
nomination. Then he found a city
whipped by the depression and
confronted with a banking situa-
tion that, in part, led him TO
declare the nationwide bank
holiday.

Canning
Asparagus

For home Gamers who have as

tain it from a neighborhood patch,
States Department of Agriculture
suggests some pointers on putting
up this springtime favorite
Only fresh, tender asparagus rates
canning. The two hours from the
garden to can" rule is especially i'm
portant with asparagus because it
may get stringy and will lose flavor
when it waits and willis. If aspara-
gus must be held even few hours
before canning, keep it cold and
moist.
For asparagus at its very best,
harvest it in the early morning, be-
fore it has had a chance to dry out
and tougher in the heat of the day
Since asparagus grows rapidly, it
needs to be cut every day in warm
weather-and, therefore, canned in
small patches. Generally the shoots
should be cut off about inches be-
low ground when they are from 6
to inches high.
Because it is nonacid vegetable,
asparagus is canned safely at home
only in steam pressure canner.
To prepare for canning, first wash
asparagus thoroughly-preferably in
cold running water. Trim off the
scales along the stalks as we'll as
any tough. woody ends. The scales
are pockets for sand and dirt in
which may be lurking dangerous.

Cut the stalks into inch pieces,

hot jars and cover with hot cooking
liquid. leaving y inch headspace al
top of jars. Add l teaspoon salt to
each quart when packed Process

inches of boiling water. Cover
tightly and boil 2 to 3 minutes
Pack the hot asparagus into clean
hot jars, salt and process as for
asparagus pieces. Any tender por-
ticns left on the trimmed ends may
be cut up to be cooked and eaten or
canned separately.

IF You Are Lucky

with pineapple and black cherries
a dish that caused the strongest
gourmet to shed tears of joy. The
pineapple and the cherries may be
beyond your reach, but, should you
have treasured can or two of both
heres how to make the best pos
sible use of them.
Clean a duckling we'll and roast
it as usual in a hot oven for about
40 minutes. Then take it out of the
roaster and put into the pan
tablespoon of confectioner's sugar
and let it brown. Let this cool and
then add 2 cups of chicken stock
or broth, a tablespoon of currant
jelly and a cup of the liquid drained
from a can of diced or crushed pine
apple. Heat these through and then
thicken them with a bit of corn
starch or arrowroot. Strain the
sauce and add to it a cup of the
diced or crushed pineapple and y
cup of pitted black cherries. Cut
the duckling into serving portions
and pour the sauce over all. This
must be served as hot as possible
to bring out the perfect blending
of f1avors.
Then, Of course, there is broiled
duckling-also culinary gem. The
bird must be singed and cleaned
thoroughly and then split down the
back 1t is placed, skin side down,
in a preheated broiler-about $50
degrees is right.
Keep the duckling inches away
from the fame. Broil it for 25 min
utes, turning it once and sailing
and peppering it well on each side.
Just a suspicion of sage may be
added to the seasoning if you like
| it, The duckling should be served
with the pan juices, to which a
dash of lemon juice, a very little
butter and some chopped parsley
have been added.

Don't count too much on the meat
stalls when you do your weekly
marketing-for the chances are
you'll find them even barer than
they have been. Such old faithfuls
as cold cuts and frankfurters are
joining the ranks of dwindling meat
products, and although you may be
an early bird and lucky enough to
snag bit of beef or veal for the
faRily's Sunday dinner, you'll find
in general that the situation is
pretty grim.
AS for the poultry picture-it is
better unscanned. The few timid
squads which appeared in scattered
markets, at terrific prices, were
snapped up in record time, and
dealers say expectations of more. in
any real supply, are simmer than
slim. Ducks, too, are hard to come
by, and there are only occasional
lots of chickens to be found from
time to time. (And by the time the
word of their arrival has spread
IKE Wildflre, the counters are swept
bare in nothing flatD Eggs are still
fairly reasonable-both in quantity
and price.
Fish, OF course, continues its flnny
way-and lucky we are to have it
these days. Much the same supplies
as last week will be on hand, with
rockfish one of the best buys, and
shad recommended, although it is
far from inexpensive. Porgies,
croakers, trout, sea bass, and fresh
founders are also good The filleted
fish will include cod, perch and
haddock. Crab meat is much more
plentiful, but selling at prices out
of this world, and raw and cooked
shrimp will be limited in supply
though possibly bit easier than
they have been.
Produce, while not in such lavish
display as We have seen it recently,
is still adequate to meet demands,
although most items are selling at
top prices. For the week end there
should be good peas, snap beans and
fine tomatoes Lettuce, selling at
ceiling, is of good quality. Carrots
are recommended, but beetS are a
bit scarcer than they have been.
Kale, cabbage sprouts, cabbage,
broccoli and cauliflower are plenti-
full. White and yellow squash, and
some zucchini, or italian squash,
are good-especially the very small
est of the zucchini Asparagus, of
course. is the best buy of the week,
selling at varying prices, depending
on whether it comes from Cali
fornia or New Jersey. None Of it is
really cheap however. Old and new
potatoes are to be had, as well as
sweets. Also several kinds of onions
are available in good supply.
The strawberries coming in from
North carolina should be better
than those offered heretofore-at
least We hope so. Grapes from South
America are definitely luxury, as
are the honeydews from the same
area. Pineapples, rhubarb and the
citrus fruits are about the best buys.
Apples, of course, are more than
plentiful-but they are not particu-
larly cheap for the better quality
fruit-and the seconds" are far
from appealing to the average
housewife.
