Swedish Cookbook" by Anna OIsson
Coombs, published by A. A. Wyn,
Inc, is q delightful compilation Of
true Swedish recipes. AS might be
expected, whenever Swedish food
is discussed, the smorgasbord comes
in for some special attention OF
its own. The author has included
several recipes for the sweet soups
that are used for desserts. There's
an ancient custom in Sweden Of
bringing gifts not only to a new
bora baby, but also to the mother,
in the form of soup, cookies or cake.
The soups most common on these
occasions were sweet, fruity soups,
and when the child Is born at home,
the same sweet soups are brought

licious cookie recipes made as only

lightly sweetened. The point is not
to scald the milk too fast, as that
tends to leave a greasy texture and
the characteristic scald flavor is not
produced. This Is the -honored

turies ago.

Try an Oxtail Ragout

Oxtails are too little used in this
country-except In canned soups.
They have been known as a source
Of strengthening meat for many
years-indeed, it is said that when
the Huguenots were driven from
France by religious persecution,
many Of them settled in London's
tannery district, where lodgings
were cheapest, naturally. They
were very poor and used to beg the
tanners for the tails which were of
no use to them. These tails the
thrifty, but culinary-wise French
made into many delicious and nour-
ishing dishes which gradually be-
came delicacies adopted by the
wealthy Londoners themselves.
One of the best and most famous
is an "Oxtail Ragout."
Get several oxtails, depending
upon how many people you are
planning to feed. Divide the tails
at the Joints of the bone on the
thick end. When you get to the
| thinner end. leave two joints to-
gether. Soak all these In cold water

(From Mrs. r. H. W., Takoma Park. J
Travelling with children. To Mrs.
H. K, Silver Spring. I travelled to
Florida and back with three small
children and so have few sugges-
tions which may help. If you would
place two small hassocks on the
seats and one infants automobile
seat the children would be elevated
so they could see as they ride along
and they would need no other
amusement. Also their feet would
have support.
One pillow and blanket for nap is
important, as even the older ones
get tired.
AS for luggage ID is best to take a
small size suitcase for each child.
Each feels important at having his
own and having the care Of his
personal belongings. Even the baby
should have his own. Seersucker
clothes are best for travelling. A
small laundry bag is also help.
As for eating it is best to stop as
near meal time as possible but well
to carry fruit, such As apples and

are useful. A small plastic receptacle

Asparagus is coming to the close OF

can before 1t disappears for another

Plenty of hams around, and some
butchers are beginning to sell

Duck, chickens and turkeys are
available, at the poultry counters.
Cheese is improving bit in
quality, but is still far from the pre-
war standard. Lots of cottage
cheese for cool summer meals. Al
little imported Roquefort has come
in, but costs a whopping big price,
and the domestic or South American

up to a, few years ago." Mr..
Diller said. 1--WE were not sure
about the qualities of the oriental
chestnuts in their new surround
ings-not until some of them had
grown fifteen to twenty years on
good deep soil and in proper en-
vironments
Some of the trees have grown
fifty-five feet in twenty years and
we feel safe in recommending this
particular strain for increased
propagation for forest and woodlot
paintings" he said.
The American chestnut. prior to
the blight, was one of the nations
most valuable forest trees. In ad-
dition to yielding nuts and tannin
for leather tanning, the trees were
valuable for rot-resistant poles and
posts, ties and lumber.
The blight was discovered about
forty years ago in New York City.
Old chestnut stumps still produce
sprouting shoots, but these live
only a few years before they too
lare killed by the blight.

lBy The Associated Pressl

(By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Sept.-More than
twenty years of work in developing
blight resistant chestnut trees
promise chestnuts again for east
ern states.
Formerly these valuable trees
grew extensively in the East. Then
the blight, accidentally imported
from the Orient before 1900, swept
through the growth. Left behind
in many spots were groves of dead
trees standing as stark as some
petrified forest.
j. d. Diller and r. B. Clapper,
research workers for the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Beltsville,
Md, are seeking to determine the
most suitable Oriental strains and
American Oriental hybrids for
America.
Mr.. Diller said widespread plant
ing of blight-resistant chestnuts
might take place in the immediate
future.
Virginia, West Virginia. and
Pennsylvania are actively partici-
pating in the work of bringing
back the chestnut.
The work in the states so far is
largely matter of distributing to
Federal and state nurseries the
seed from well-established AsiatiC
strains.
The seedlings are planted on
choice sites in state and national
