The other day, on a weekend trip
to Boston, my host offered me my
favorite breakfasts typically New
England one of baked beans, cod
fish balls-properly made, with
Whiskers-and homemade Boston
brown bread. 1t had been So long
since the combination had come my
way that I'm afraid I acted like
fugitive from a bread line, with
seconds and thirds being unasham-
edly consumed.
The way the bread was made was
this:
A cup of rye flour, cup Of yellow
corn meal, a cup Of graham flour
q tablespoon soda ana teaspoon
of salt were mixed and sifted to-
gether. Then q cup of molasses was
added, with 2 cups of sour milk and
cup of raisins (presoaked and
drained. The batter was stirred
until thoroughly mixed. and then
turned into a well-buttered mold
and steamed for 81 hours. The
cover of the mold was buttered be-
fore being put on, and then tiec
down with a string so that the ris-
ing bread could no. force it of. The
mold was not filled more than II
full. 1t was placed on a trivet o.
rack in a kettle of boiling water
with the water coming just half way
up around the mold-more being
added to keep 1t that height as il
'ho,'ed away. The kettle was Gov.

ITALIAN DISHES.

From Mrs. I. S., Washington.)
Here are two recipes for Italian
dishes for the lady who wishes to
serve Italian food at party:
Spinach, Italian style-Fry a little
garlic and few cut-up tomatoes
in olive oil in deep, covered sauce
pan. Add fresh spinach, coarsely
chopped, or drained canned spinach,
If the fresh vegetable is not avail
able. Let simmer with lid on until
nearly tender, then add pine kernels
and raisins (about 4 cup of each
for up to 2 quarts of cooked vege-
table, and let cook for a few min
utes more. This last addition is
optional, but very Mediterranean.
Zambaglione wine custardD-Beat
thoroughly in large mixing bowl one
small egg yolk per person and one
tablespoon sugar. Heat, but do not
boil Italian style wine Zone glass
per person. and pour into egg-sugar
mixture while beating. Serve at
once in preheated custard cups. If
the Zambaglione has cooled down
too far, reheat carefully in double
boiler, beating all the time.
The classical Italian dessert Is
fresh fruit, toasted almonds and
cheese.

Here and There: Frenching
snap beans. or cutting them into
narrow strips for cooking. is q ia
vorite way of preparing these vege-
tables in many homes in spite of
the fact it takes considerable time.
Frenched beans often are regarded
as more tender and delicate than
those cooked whole or in larger
pieces. An argument against
Frenching now comes from the
Minnesota Experimental Station,
which reports that it wastes vitamin
C. Recent tests show that Frenched
beans hold only half as much of
the vitamin as beans cooked whole
or in inch lengths. . Pureed
cooked prunes or dried apricots are
often called for In making whips or
other light desserts. One cup Of
uncooked dried fruit yields about
cup of puree. The secret is to
cook the dried fruit little longer
than usual and then force it
through colander or sieve.
II you want to make egg salad
sandwiches that are better than
ever, include some slivered or
chopped almonds in the filling.
They add worlds of flavor and con-
trastlng texture. To cook
bacon the easiest way of all 80 it
becomes evenly Drowned from end
TO end is to bake it. Place over
tapping slices OF bacon on a rack in
a shallow pan and bake in a hot
oven about II to Is minutes. No
turning is necessary. A large
turkish towel pinned around the ex-
tension arm of the sewing machine
will keep light or slippery material
from sliding off as you sew.
Fruity turnovers pack and carry
well for school lunch boxes, where
they are easy to eat out of hand.
Make the filling for them with
sweetened cooked dried fruits and
crushed pineapple. Be sure you
make plenty. Chicken a la
king, the dressy version of creamed
chicken, which includes green pep
per, red pimiento and mushrooms,
has proved one OF the most popular
of the many ready-cooked foods
now being frozen commercially.
Both chicken a la king and creamed
chicken freeze successfully and keep
well for as long as "a year at zero
temperature. Recent tests made by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture showed that even after
years storage these mixtures
looked and tasted freshly made.
Neither one separated or "curdled"
as sauces and gravies often do in
freezing. -

have been a domesticated variety
Would any reader know how to ge

any reader be able to recommen

to grow indoors in this manner?

CHICKEN AND RICE?
WHITE RAYON BLOUSES?

To Mrs. E. S., Arlington: In re-
gard to your request for chicken
and rice, here is an excellent recipe
but 1 do not know the exact pro-
portions. Put a few pieces of
chicken at a time into bag con-
tanning flour, salt and pepper. Shake
until well Toured. Fry until q
golden brown and remove chicken
putting it in a large kettle with
diced onions. Boil until chicken Is
nearly done and pour in amount OF
rice desired. Steam until done. BY
Touring and frying the chicken first
there is nice brown gravy in the
rice. There should only be enough
salted water to cook the rice until
dry, not watery.
Also to the lady asking about
cleaning her fiber rug, my neighbor
used thick suds. a lot OF ammonia
added to the water. Apply with a
brush and 60 over it once with clear
ammonia water.
I have two white rayon jersey
blouses that are getting yellow. I
have tried bluing them to mo- avail,
but I am afraid to use bleach. Will
it harm the rayon?
MEAT DISH.
From Mrs. G. w. c, Washington }
I don't know If any of the readers
would like to try an old recipe for
a meat dish that was common
among large German families in
the Middle West when I was kid
because of its cheapness and flavor.
1t had a name that sounded like
"haberguter,' but it may have been
my childish pronunciation OF if
Boil spareribs in plenty of water
until the meat falls off the bone.
Take out the spareribs and cut the
meat in fine pieces. In the water
in which the spareribs were boiled
add as much oatmeal as it will take
to form a solid mass when cooked
Salt and pepper. When the oat-
meal is cooked work in the meat
from the spareribs and let set in a
crock. Fry it brown on each side
as wanted for a meal. I still like 1t.

Truman Says Revolt
In Colombia Was
Surprise 10 Him
Received No Warning,
He States; Books Marshal
On Charge Of Red Tieup
BY the Assoeiofed Press

President Truman said today
that he was as surprised as any
one else about the uprising in
Bogota, Colombia.
Mr.. Truman told news confer
ence he was very sorry that the riot
ing occurred but that he had no
warning of it.
A congressional inquiry already
has been started to find out whether
United States intelligence agencies
had advance word of the revolution
and warned proper officials.
A reporter asked Mr.. Truman
whether he considered the revolt as
warning to the Americas of the
Communist danger in this hemis-
phere.
Mr.. Truman replied that Secre-
tary of State Marshall had COM
mented on that, adding he did so
very we'll.
Gen. Marshall, who is attending
the Inter- American Conference in
Bogota, has blamed international
Communism for the intensity of the
uprising.
Mr.. Truman said the United
States had received information
that there might be picketing or
riots at the conference.
But, he added there was no in
dication that anybody was going
to get shot.
