M. Alexander Trip To Washington

mr. AIexanders Trip 10 Washington
JOSEPH ~ALEXANDERS decision to help us present
our case in Washington is one of the finest acts done by a pri-
vate citizen in years, and shows a deep sense of civic respon-
sibiity. At this time when practically everything seems to be
going against us, it is refreshing indeed to receive support
from any quarter. But Mr.. Alexanders trip to Washington, on
his own, teaches a significant lesson; one which can and
should be followed. Rising clearly above the small, petty acts
that command too much of our attention, this act points out
the need for concerted action.
AGAIN and again we havesaid that these times try men,
and unless we stand up to them we shall fail bitterly. If ever
any legislative group was faced with mountainous problems
it is now. Yet, as everyone knows, those who would lead, de-
tour around these problems, trying hard to attract attention
away from them by performing the well known, and thorough
y worn out tactics Of petty politics. It is against such a back
ground that MI. Alexanders voluntary trip to Washington
looms large. He must have realized the need for immediate
action, and he took it. And for that the Virgin Islands express
their appreciation.
MR. ALEXANDER is no stranger to Washington. He has
served on commissions since 1921, and has been able to make
many valuable contacts both in the House and Senate. He is
the delegate from these Islands to the Democratic Convention.
and knows personally such national figures as Senator Mil
lard Tydings of Maryland, whose interest in these Islands has
been unwavering for many years. Having served Is years in
the Council andretired the former Chairman Of the Municipal
Council takes on the role of elder statesman, much as Bernard
M. Baruch is for the United States. And an elder statesman
can be of great service to his people. His long years Of ex-
perience, his many contacts, his close observation of changing
times, all tend to give his word respect and for those who fol-
low to temper their own actions by such words.
WE ARE indeed happy that Mr.. Alexander has under
taken this trip, and will go to Washington to say a word in
behalf of his people. whose respect and admiration he had

Meat Stews

GIVE STEW a ''new look" now
and then-and new flavor, too-and
you can add it to your list of weekly
meat favorites.
The main ingredients of a good
stew are tender cubes of meat and
well cooked vegetables in rich
gravy. You can vary a stew's flavor
by using different herbs and spices,
a variety of liquids and a wide
range of vegetables. Or you can
make stew look like an entirely diff
ferent dish by varying the manner
of serving.
Stew Variations
Meat: Beef, veal, lamb or pork
may be used, or a combination of
one or more of these. PORK is not
frequently used for stew.) Meat
may be Drowned or not before SIM
mering. Browning the meat makes
a deeper colored stew, also gives the
meat more flavor.
Liquid: Water, bouillon, tomato
juice, tomato puree, vegetable juices
or cooking water, or diluted canned
soups.
Seasonings: Herbs, spices, onion
or garlic Cor both), celery tops,
minced carrots, parsley. Dill seed
and caraway seed make tasty stew
seasonings.
Vegetables: Carrots, onions and
potatoes are used most often. To
keep stew interesting, use many diff
ferent vegetables = whole kernel
corn, green beans, cabbage, toma-
toes, peas, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts.
Ways TO serve: On rice, noodles
split biscuits, or split corn bread. Oh

We suspected that Crosby Gaige,
the author of "Macaroni Manual"
was not a lady. One other cookbook
reviewed on these pages vas by a
man, and men somehow go about
recipes unlike women With them
it's a hobby.
In this book Gaige explains that
his interest in macaroni, spaghetti
and vermicelli came about because
of an assignment from one of Amer
ica's leading manufacturers of these
products. To begin with it was a
business proposition, but it led to
interesting developments because he
reveals in his introduction the fact
that ''my assistant, a lady of no
mean culinary achievement, and I
became so entangled in the soft ten
drills of macaroni and spaghetti that
we decided to get married and we
did" No wonder he regards the
two years study as profitable and
completely satisfactory.
In the volume are 200 main dishes,
soup, salad and dessert recipes, as
well as so sauces. To those of you
who think mainly in terms of mac

top with dumplings. Or make stew
into a meat pie by topping with
mashed potatoes, pie crust, biscuit
dough or cornpread batter.
Here's n of these ideas put into
use-tomato herb stew served on
rice.
Tomato herb stew: 2 pounds beef
or veal stew meat, " Glove garlic,
" teaspoon m~arjoram, u teaspoon
thyme, l can tomato puree, 8 cups
water, onions, carrots. Cut meat
into IL inch cubes. Flour meat and
brown thoroughly in hot lard or
other fat. After browning, sprinkle
generously with salt and pepper.
Mince garlic and add to meat with
herbs, tomato puree and water. Stir
well, bring to a boil, then turn heat
low and simmer, covered, for three
hours for beef, two hours for veal.
Forty-five minutes before done, add
five sliced carrots and five or six
small onions, along with a teaspoon
of salt. Thicker liquid, if desired,
with a flour and water paste.
For good measure, here's a ground
beef dish to add to your list of
budget favorites. It's a new style
meat pie.
Ground beef layer pie: l pound
ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, Is tea
spoon pepper, l egg, IA cup catsup,
u teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 2
cups bread dressing. Make a bread
dressing seasoned with minced on
ion and celery, and a little sage.
Combine meat with beaten egg, sea-
sonings and catsup. Press half of
meat mixture into creased casserole.
Cover with bread dressing and rest
of meat. Set in pan of hot water
and bake uncovered in a $50 degrees
