The Yankees finished third last
var, and the Senators fourth. The
yay things look right now, neither
can expect to turn out much better
This season - if as well.
The Yankees, no longer the
Pronx Bombers of old, are further
handicapped by the loss of Joe
niMaggio. Joe is recovering from
a heel operation, but may get a
chance to pinch-hit here.
The Senators have been on a
manhunt almost up to the open
ing day. They hope they have
found their man in Mark Christ
man, acquired last week from the
St. Louis Browns.
This should give Washington a
respectable infield, with Cecil
Travis on third, Christman at
short. Jerry Priddy at second and
Mickey Vernon at first.
The tall, skinny Vernon doesn't
hit them far, but he hits them
often. His 1858 batting average led
the league last year.
As for the pitching. Well the
probable pitchers give a strong
hint since each of them barely
broke even last year.
The Yankees Floyd Bevens won
IS and lost 10, while the Senator's
3S-year-old Bobo Newsom won IA
and lost 10.

To make the boiled cider, take a
quart of cider and let it boil, without
a lid on the kettle, until there Is
only q cup of cider remaining. 1t

must be stirred constantly to pre-

For the mincemeat, put pound

Chop pints of apples and 3 pints
of cooked fresh beef heart or tongue.
Simmer for two hours in large

a cup of sugar, a pound of brown
sugar, cup dark molasses, 3 pounds
seeded raisins, pound currants, a
cup of candied orange peel, 4 pound
of citron (both of these chopped

you about 4 quarts of mincemeat.

Cucumbers may or may not b

may be watery. To prevent this,

out, wash of the salt and literally

then combine them with the salad.

By Violet Faulkner

These are the days when you have
to keep an eagle eye on your shop
ming lists. There are 50 many de-
mands on the family budget, par
tlsularly the food budget, that q
= penny saved Is really o penny
earned.
There is plenty Of food available
but it needs to be used wisely. Inose
precious cuts of meat will go far
ther If combined with vegetables;
the scrap ends Of a roast make
q delicious meat pie, but use pota-
toes for a topping In place OF the
regular crust. One of the featured
buys for this week end Is going to
be chuck roast, one of the most
versatile cuts Of meat we have, and
one that will lend itself to variety
Of leftovers.
= Fresh frying chickens and whole
or half loins of pork will be other
meat items to watch for. Fluffy rice
is the perfect foil for pork flavor
and buttered green beans for a veg
etable. Apples are in their prime
now, so plan to serve them either
as apple sauce, salad or crispy
apple dessert to round out your pork
dinner. And remember, pork must
be cooked to the well-done stage to
develop its full, rich flavor.
You'll find moderate supplies OF
fresh fish, with croakers, butterf1sh,
sea trout and mackerel among the
most plentiful. But-you are also
going to find that prices OF fish are
higher than a week ago. Frozen
fish stocks are ample, and while
E we're on the subject of fish, have
you considered the usefulness OF sar-
dimes? They seem to be relegated
to a position on the snack tray
when in reality there are many
hot dishes to be made from this
meaty, low-cost fish. Try sardlne
turnovers, casseroles, or potato pulls
with a sardine in the center.
Lean heavily on vegetables to exc
out the budget, they give sustenance
as well as valuable nutrients to the
family meals. From the green vege-
tables select broccoli, spinach, kale,
turnip tops, endive, lettuce, escarole
or Brussel sprouts. Squash, turn1ps,
. sweet potatoes, cauli1ower, rutaba-
gas are more vegetables you will find
plentiful in the local markets this
week. Apples, of course, are easy
to find now since this is their sea-
son; Florida oranges and grapefruit
, for the citrus fruits and red En-
peror grapes to fill up the fruit
bowl.
A food product that is as old as
the pyramids, but rather new to

product is, in reality a cracked
wheat. The germ is specially treat

and other edible parts of the grain,
normally lost in refining processes,

a breakfast cereal, as supplement
to meat dishes, or basic ingredt-
ent for stuf1ngs and puddings. The
new method of processing makes
this a quick cooling product (about
IA to IS minutes. It's food to
remember in these days when we
are trying to save meat because 1t
is high In protein. 1t doesn't be-

pretty epicurean and troublesome to

shouldn't, because here is another OF
those times when you can call on
your magnificent array of canned
soups and turn out super product
in a jiffy.
Take a can Of condensed celery
soup and add to it " cup of hot
water. Scald cup of cream with
bay leaf and a slice of onion and

this simmer quietly, while you heat
" cup OF oyster liquor and cook a
cup of oysters In it until the edges

In a little butter or margarine. Busy
business, but you can manage 1t.
Add the oysters and their liquor
to the soup. Season with salt, pep
per and q bit of cayenne. Put the
mushroom caps into soup plates and
