is "Kharoub Mahshi."
Rounding out the buffet was a
whole salmon decorated with vari-
colored dressings, the predominating
color being pink; peas jeIled into
the shape of o. bel, Sslfrounded by
tsflied slices of calves liver; arabian

A well-centered yoIx is what ev-
cry cook wants in a hard-cooked
egg of grade A or AA quality, if the
yolk is too far offside, the white is
likely to break through during the
stuhing process. The quality Of the
egg rather than the method of cook

yolk, say poultry specialists. In an
egg of grade A or AA quality, the
white is thick and holds the yolk
in place. AS the quality deteriorates
from lack of refrigeration and

such an egg is cooked on its side,

tame number of go sold for a price
at the refinery of about IA cents
per gallon. In 1945 gasoline Of 20
octane number was selling at the
refinery for about 5s4 cents per gal

price was not due to lower crude
oil cost since the cost Of crude oil
was not greatly lower in 1915 than
in 1925. It was largely due to inn
proved processes for making gaso-
line brought about by research and
development in the oil industry.
