favoriteS.
Have you ever tried combining
green beans with celery?. Both are
vegetable leaders In the markets
these January days, plentiful and
well priced. Many homemakers
are reluctant about trying new
methods of preparing food be-
cause they think 1t involves too
much work. This combination is
simple enough to do without a
set recipe. Simply cook the beans
in salted water until tender. Melt
some butter or margarine in a
pan, add finely diced celery and
saute about three minutes, SO it's
hot, but still crisp. Combine the
two and check for seasoning.
Lettuce Is a bit more reason
able and the quality better. To-
matoes from Florida are cheaper
than they have been in a couple
of weeks, or even a week ago,
and the quality is very good.
Time to Eat Eggs
Eggs. by the way, are making
news again. On the wholesale
market large eggs are reported at
their lowest levels since March of
1850. almost two years ago. The
reason, Of course, being the
abundance in production, and
prices drop accordingly. This year
egg production in February is ex-
pected to top last years by 4 to- 6
per cent. Did you ever make a
ring Of cooked spinach and fill
the center with creamed hard
cooked eggs for a luncheon dish?
Spinach. collards, kale, mustard
and turnip salad are all good

Winter Fruits
Looking for q good value in

featured on the list Of plentiful
foods by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Coming
at a time when fresh fruits are at
a low ebb. they make a welcome
contribution to winter menus. Be-
cause last summers crop was so

the supply is good, perhaps be-

date is not too heavy. The best
buys are butterf1sh, seabass and

slightly higher and all fish from
the South brings better price
than the local supply.
This includes blue fish, king

Don Hurlbert Named
1852 Chairman OF
Alaska Vets Board

The Alaska World War II Vet
Grams Board concluded three
day meeting in Juneau, Dec. 10,
during which it reviewed the ac-
tivities of the Veterans Affairs
Commission Of the Territory for
the past year under the direction
Of Floyd Guertin, Commissioner
of Veterans Affairs.
The report of the Commissioner
of the condition of the Veterans
Revolving Fund on Nov. 80, 1852,
used to pay bonuses and make
loans to eligible Alaskan veter-
ans, shows that 1881 bonuses
have been paid totaling $1,412,-
10 and 1868 loans have been
made to a total of $7,849, 669.S,
since the program began in May,
1896. Additional loans through
banks under a guarantee by the
Commission against percentage
of any loss has extended the bene-
fits of this program to more vet
Grams than the limits Of the re-
volving fund would have made
possible. Losses under the loan
program are reported to be less
than 119 per cent and income
from interest on loans to date
shows an excess over expenses
of operation Of $35, O54.44, includ-
ing a reserve against any future
uncollectible loans.
Don Hurlbert of Nome was
elected by the Board to be its
chairman for the next year. Other
members attending were Robert
Ellis of Ketchikan, John HELEN
thai of Anchorage, Embert Dem

Marabu is a spiny, twisted shrub
or small tree, rarely reaching more
than Is feet high. It belongs to
the leguminosae family and closely

flowers which hang in 3 to 4 inch
spikes from the tree. They re-

All through the spring and sum-

He opened his fourth best spade

from dummy and Mr. Abel won with
the king and returned the nine.
Mr.. Dale won the second trick with
dummy's ace and saw that he would
have to be both good and lucky to
make his bid.
One thing was sure. He had toI
win several tricks in the club suit
to have chance. Hoping he was
lucky enough to find Mr.. Abel
with a doubleton honor, he led al
small club from the board. Mr..
Abel played the seven and the 10E
was finessed.
Mr.. Heinsite won with the queen
and fired another spade which Mr..
Dale won the the queen. Next came
the ace of clubs and when Mr.. Abels
king dropped, it was all over. Mr..
Dale had four club tricks, two
spades, two diamonds and a heart
for game.
Mr.. Heinsite started complaining
Immediately. "You should have
beaten him, Abel" he said. "Just
play your king on the first lead of
clubs. If Dale lets pou hold it, re-
turn your last spade and that will
set my suit while still have a club
stopper.
IF Dale playes his ace and leads
another club. I would lay of with
my queen and win the third club
trick. Now, how could he get to
the board for the other clubs with
out letting me in? !
"He couldn't" continued Mr..
Heinsite, who can easily handle
both ends of a conversation all by
himself.
This irked Mr.. Dale who came to
Mr.. Abel's defense. IF you're going
to expect these tough defensive
plays to be made, Heinsite," he
said, chow about making them your
self?
you, too, could have beaten this
contract merely by letting my 10I
of clubs hold the first club trick,
rather than winning with your
queen. That's tough play to make,
too. But no tougher than the one
you expected Able to make"

News Of Music
By Alice Eversmon

jeanette Macdonald returned
yesterday afternoon to Constitu.
ftion Hall in a recital that pleased
her admiring audience greatly
The popular soprano Of screen
and stage. who has added that oi
concert artist to her many &C.
complishments, provided an at.
tractive picture in a Cutlery russet
gown that blended we'll with he1
lovely hair. She has acquired q
concert platform poise and a
friendlineSs toward her audience
that established a bond immedi-
ately.
It was by far the best recital
Miss Macdonald has given here
The program consisted of familiar
numbers of simple character and
IN her selection the singer showed
wisdom. For none of them put
greater strain on her light voice
than 1t could stand or attempted
too much dramatically. That she
knows how to bring the art Of the
theater into the concert hall was
shown particularly in a short,
amusing song, substituted for an
other in her last group, which
was written by her husband, Gene
Raymond. In that. and OCCASION
ally in other numbers, her facial
expressions and gestures helped
point up the meaning. This, of
course, especially delighted her au-
dience who saw again the full
measure of charm she brought to
her screen appearances.
Within its limitations, Miss Mac
Donald's voice is beautifully
trained. No evidence of effort is
visible at any time and her easy
production maintains the sweet
ness of quality from low to high
register. The latter showed some
fuzziness yesterday and the tones
were weak in carrying power. The
voice is too small and light to per-
NIT her to branch out into more
demanding songs than those she
sang at this recital but the tech
nical smoothness of her emission,
the finely relaxed mouth and i'm
perceptible breathing, are require
ments that few singers have mas
tered so well.
She has a tender feeling for the
simple lines of a song such as
Martini's "Plaisir d'Amour," or
imsky-Korsakoff's "The Rose
Enslaves the Nightingale" and can
even make Dell'Aqua's "Villanelle"
interesting. She made good use of
her trill in the latter, showing a
marked gain in 1lexibility. Appar-
emily the greater part of her audi
ence was not tired of hearing
Hahn's Isl Mes Vers Avaient des
Allies" or Liszt's "Lieberstraum," "
which she sang in Herbert Stot-
hart's arrangement. 1t is possible
they liked them even better than
Debussy's 'Mandoline" or the aria
from Mozart's III Re Pastore"
which opened the recital. For she
sings such songs unaffectedly
though warmly. Spanish songs by
Obradors and Min suited her also
and were given a sprightly per-
formance.'
For encores, she selected num-
bers from her screen successes and
sang them best of all. Although
her diction is excellent in foreign
languages, In English her voice
acquires a finer and still more
pleasing quality.
Collins Smith was her accom-
panist and was more satisfactory
as such than as soloist. The three
Chopin numbers he played were
delivered rather heavily and with
out much imagination. His recep-
ton was cordial, however, from
an audience that was not overly
large.
