WOMAN'S' PAGE."’ Serving Thick BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘There are times and occasions when both thick and thin soups should be served. One is not interchangeable with the other on menus, if a meal is to have proper balance. A thin soup is in a way an appetizer preparing the SOUPS SHOULD BE CHOSEN IN RE- LATION TO THE COURSE THAT FOLLOWS THEM. stomach to better enjoy a substantial course following, while a thick soup is .in itself substantial and helps appease the appetite. It is possible, and often pens, that a thick soup is a main ‘dish for a luncheon or supper. and Thin Soups Chowders are among the thick soups that ‘are sufficlently substantial for msin ‘dishes. Clam chowder and fish chowder contain both fish and vege- tables, with a bit of meat i nthe way of cubes of salt pork sauted that lend flavor. Oyster stew suggests, in the last word, the fact that it is substantial, for stews | certainly are hearty. But oyster stew is delicate as well as hearty, coming more under the category of milk soups than chowders or thick soups It sup- plies both the food value of fish and the nourishing element in the milk. It fre- quently is thickened, thereby making it come rightfully under thick soups. However, the thickening should be slight, if any is used. Bean and pea soups are each very hearty. There is the same nourish- ment in bean soup as in baked beans, and peas belong to the legume or bean family. In these soups either pork or plenty of butter supply richness, while the mashed vegetables provide thickness, usually slightly increased with roux (flour and water) to hold the vegetable particles in suspension without sepa- rating. Soups, topped with whipped cream, are hearty and cannot be used in place of thin soups. The whipped cream is apt to be added to cream soups known as bisques. These occupy a medium place between the thick and the thin soups. They are served correctly be- fore a main course that is not in itself rich. They should not precede duck or pork, for instance, while they would be propriate before chicken, steak, lamb :finps, etc., ‘or a fish that is not rich, such as sole, but not mackerel. Thin soups are consommes or bouil- lon. The former is a meat soup and may be of various kinds. The latter is solely a beef soup. Both are always clear soups containing the essences of the meat diluted with water in correct proportions. Consommes are made by botling the meat in water, which is later strained. There may be vegetables and there always is seasoning in the soup, but the vegetables are strained out. Occasionally a little rice or alphabet noodles are left in. When put in these are mentioned, as, for instance, con- somme of chicken with rice. Bouillon may be made by simmering beef, sea- soning the liquid and straining it, or it can be made from ready prepared tablets dissolved in boiling water. These thin soups are the sort to serve at dinner parties and at meals where rich courses follow. The soups are not only thin and clear, but they are free from fat, every particle of which should have been taken off. Thick soups may be followed by a tasty meat or vegetable salad and dessert and sup- ply a complete meal. Thin soups re- quire substantial courses to succeed m. i (Copyright, 1929.) Tomato Bisque.

Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. April 30, 1861.—Numerous complaints are being made that respectable fam- ilies here have been insulted by a few of the volunteer soldiers who are now crowding the eity. This is said to be due to poor discipline. Steps are being taken by the officers to remedy the con- dition. A too free use of liquor is said to be at the bottom of the mischief. Of course, these complaints apply only to a very small proportion of the large military encampment here. In general the high quality and propriety of demeanor of the volunteer soldiers now stationed in Washington have been the subject of universal remark. The Pennsylvania troops quartered in the City Hall are pretty raw material. They have no uniforms and many of them are badly supplied with clothing. ‘But they are a hearty set of young men notwithstanding, with square shoulders, deep chests and muscles like those of prize fighters. They are being drilled in squads in the City Hall, and they evi- dence by their close attention to in- structions that they are fast developing into fine soldiers. The 25th Regiment of New York troops from Albany is quartered today in the Capitol, having arrived yesterday evening. They are 700 strong and are well uniformed and equipped. Their ranks are composed of splendid muscu- utensil. Mix two teaspoonfuls of flour with a little sweet milk. Pour this and the boiling milk into the boiling to- matoes, add pepper and salt and boil for five minutes. Serve hot in bouillon cups or soup plates. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT T!m Congressional Record—the great diary of the elected Representa- tives of the American people—has a fighting chance of getting a boost in circulation of some 25,000 copies. A bill was introduced in the Lower House of Congress the other day au- thorizing the Public Printer to send each public and parochial high school in the United States one copy of each daily issue. The idea originated with Representative Edgar Howard of Ne- braska. ‘The author of the bill believes a study of the Record will carry to stu- dents better knowledge of the prac- tical workings of our forms of govern- ment _than any text book now in such schools. ‘There is probably no other printed document which has as much fun poked at it as the Congressional Rec- | his ord. To mnfany it is synonymous with permitted the printing of & pic- ture of a cow, and it is said this particular Record has been requested thousands of times since its printing. e is at least one member of Con- gress who has interested himself in the question of making the Record more attractive, and is out in the open to put pep into it and increase its circulation. He is Representative John J. Boylan of New York. Speeches alone do not count for much, says Boylan, yet that is all the Record now contains, He would make of it a great national journal, printing anything that helps to give a picture of American life today. ‘This, conceivably, may mean car- toons, pictures, rotogravures, comic strips, headlines, editorials and even a sporting page—in fact, all the adorn- ments of the modern, entertaining and historical newspaper. As a_matter of fact, only a few weeks ago Boylan was prevented by Majority Leader Tilson | from inserting a cartoon in the Rec- ord. ‘There should be room in the Record, he says, for a Babe Ruth as well as| Speaker Longworth, for Lindbergh as well as President Hoover. He thinks introduction of such matters would in- culcate a greater desire upon the part of the American people to read and keep in touch with what Congress is doing. On the floor of the House one day Boylan told his colleagues that they <aould publish the Record as a live, up- -date, alert paper or suspend entirely publication of this “obsolete shest that | is so antediluvian and prehistoric in its | make-up as to make a printer's devil laugh. “We are certainly retrograding in| publishing such a Record as we now publish. You cannot even read it with- out the aid of a magnifying glass. Not one of you would think of reading a paper today that was published in the seme style it was published 56 years ago. Let us get away from our staid and set conservatism.” His colleagues listened with amuse- ment to his appeal. When he con- cluded there was much laughter and applause. But no one said anything more about it. When a Senator or Representative finds himself stumped about the exact status of a piece of legislation in Con- gress, he calls to his secretary: “Ask Elmer, he knows.” And it is a sure bet that Elmer Lewis, young superintendent of the House doc- ument room, does know. He is consid- ered the best memory expert in the National Capital. If there is such a thing as a human index, he is one. C. PLUMMER. achinery.

Minutes at such times are precious. Those sponsoring legislation must have facts. This means that the document room must give service. And it does. But the story of how it does involves Elmer Lewis, variously described um‘h:l:ymm expert and & prodigy of effic ‘ Lelgiyl had more than 22,000 pieces of legislation to index and' file during the last congressional session.

Some of the things he knows about legislal are whether it is a house bill, a Senate bill, resolution, private bill or public bill.

Lewis makes no claim to have all this information at his finger tips, Cap- itol folk regard it as a bad wager to bet against his knowledge of any measure which has been presented to Congress. He does not depend upon his sub- ordinates, but_does his own work. Lewis has been connected with the document room 10 years, and has been superintendent for almost five. Dur- ing the time he has been superintendent several innovations have been made which have added greatly to the service the document room renders. Poremost among these has been com- piling all of the laws on various sub- jects and grouping them so that those interested may have easy access. Under Lewis’ administration the docu- ment room also provides material for student debaters and those engaged in writing theses. Members of Congress every year are flooded with requests for material on this or that subject. Lewis attends to these requests, pro- viding coples of speeches made in Con- gress on the subject desired. Such requests alone average 50 daily during school sessions. | | Lessons in English he must know who in- | BY W. L.

It is understood that the President will spend much time visiting the troops as they gather here for the defense of the National Capital, and will from time to time deliver short addresses to the men to encourage them in their training for the campaigns to come.

Reply. 2 What makes the estrangement, the lack of understanding between the old and the young of this generation is the psychological distance between them; it is far more thll:nl matter of years—it's a matter of feeling and thinking. There is a common purpose to live, in the old sense and the new, “the good life,” which must be a safe and sane life, a life of mental and moral fitness, and, for the more fortunate, a significant life. But there is a great difference of views as to how to do it. There has been much probing into motives and urges and the most whole- some ways to satisfy them, and quite a good deal of unwise digging at the roots and disturbing that fine underground growth of a soul struggling to know it- selt—so much of which must go on in nature’s silent, hidden ways. That, I take it, is the central point of this inquiry. The basic fact of the new revelation is the marvelously in- tricate relation between what goes on in the body and what goes on in the mind; that medical genius Galen (about 200 A.D.) records that he was treating a young woman nervously up- set, but with nothing bodily wrong, and felt her pulse as he repeated a list of names to her. When he meutioned the name of a popular actor her pulse quickened, and it rose to no other name. That was 1700 years rgo; the same story—a matinee idol, an unadmitted love affair, psychoanalysis. Today we have explored the deep sources in human nature, and have erected upon the foundation a new way of looking at life. Dr. Sigmund Freud of Vienna, now in his seventy-second is responsible, more than any one for this change of view: and if he to regard himself as responsible !

Sons Who Want to Make Their Old DEAR MISS DIX: Won't you please publish something about those people | who own motor cars and who start out early on Sunday morning on a holiday with their whole family and with a friend or two thrown in for good measure and ride out to the country to sponge on any one whom they can stand ? From the beginning of Summer until the end of it I spend holiday in the kitchen cooking for uninvited guests, who never seem to think that I might like a rest or to go out riding myself. think people should wait until they are asked and not come unannounced, and Answer: You have a very good idea about who these acquaintances are who sponge on you during the motoring season. Drop them a little note right away, telling them that you don't feel financially able to run a free hotel and so you have decided to charge for your meals and that you will be glad if they will let you know when they are coming so that you can be prepared for them. That will hold them, for they are deadbeats who have no idea of paying for their food if they can graft it off somebody else. We shed tears of pity over those unfortunates who are maimed and killed by automobiles, but if we have any weeps left in our system we might well bestow them upon other victims of the automobile, the people who live on motor roads, who have their pocketbooks flattened out and their privacy slain and who are visited to death by automobilists who descend upon them without warning and Every one who lives in the country shares the same unhappy fate and learns to shudder at the sound of an sutomobile horn as at the trump of doom, for well they know that in a few seconds a car will pull up at the door and from it will descend a jovial crowd consisting of jolly Nick and Susie and the five little Nicks and Susies and a couple of friends that they have brought along with their brat, and the whole crowd will proceed to make itself at home with loud cries of “Oh, how thirsty we are,” and “My, what a grand appetite motoring And poor Mr. Householder and Mrs. Householder, who had finished their own luncheon and were planning a ride themselves or were going to have a nice snooze or read a book they had been longing to get at, have to rush and put fresh towels in the bathroom and then hie out to the kitchen and scramble Then, after the motorists have left, the householders spend the rest of the evening washing the dishes and cleaning up after them and figuring up that they have spent all of the next week's market money on feeding a lot of people whom they don't care for and who don't care for them and who have simply made goats out of them. It is a queer thing what the automobile does to people’'s manners and morals In town people don't invite themselves to your house for a meal. wait until they are asked.

AR DOROTHY DIX: Our mother is old and feeble. She has worked hard all of her life and we boys want her to quit housekeeping and board with one of the neighbors. Don't you think this would be the best for her? She does not care to be visiting around and by boarding she would be coming in contact ‘We want her to enjoy the next few years as much Your mother is a lucky woman to have such good sons who are ‘Without doubt your plan is the rational one for her, but you have to make old people happy in their own way, and you must remember that industry becomes a habit and that a woman who has worked as long as your mother has would find it absolute torture to have nothing to do. She would be bored to death and wouldn't live but a little while if you took away her daily task, Furthermore, an old woman's home is not just a house to her. It is part of her very being, and her furniture is not beds and chairs It is memories of her husband, her young life, her babies—life and death and all that has ever happened to her. So, unless your old mother wants to go to board with the neighbor herself, Hire some one to stay with her and let her keep pottering around at her daily tasks as long as she can.

As for dates, the first Frgudian case of psychoanalysis dates froth 1881, but was not published with a definite sys- tem of interpretation until 1895. From then until 1910, Freud had a hard struggle. Medically he was unorthodox and his method of practice considered irregular. The emphasis which he placed on such a fantastic and trivial process as dreaming (1900) deepened the distrust. However, he kept on writing and ob- serving and interpreting; he had a few followers who spread the doctrine, in no country more successfully than in the United States—a newer land more hos- pitable to innovations and renovations. Both Freud and Jung, the most dis- tinguished and independent of his dis- ciples, came to this country in 1910. From then on psychoanalysis came with a rush; and with it has come an amazing freedom in discussion. More things than Freud have combined to make the radical change in social standards, but Freud has been pretty influential in the process. Whether the generation thus freed from old-time re- ?resslons will live more happily and at- ain higher standards of mental fitness than their predecessors remains to be seen. (Copyright, 1929.)

C., murderer of his brother and sister, nothwithstanding he was the son of noble Cyrus the Great, thirsted for praise. He was highly pleased when the Persians, in_council, made a favor- |able reply on his asking them what father. They servilely assured him that since he not only had held all Asia, which his father had left him, but in addition had conquered Egypt, he was better than his father. Only Croesus, the former King of the Lydians, who had been subdued by Cy- rus and had become not only the ad- viser of that monarch, but also of his son, demurred. His intent was only to flatter. “To me, O son of Cyrus,” he objected, “thou dost not appear to be equal to thy father, for not yet hast thou a son such as he left behind in you.” Cambyses was highly flattered, but | he was not content. On a later day he |took up the subject again with Prex- | aspes, the most honored of his hench- men and the man he most trusted. “Prexaspes,” said he, “what kind of |2 man do the Persians esteem me to be, and what speech do they hold con- cerning me?” Prexaspes replied: “Master, in all other respect thou art greatly commended, but they say that thou art overmuch to love wine.” Cambyses flared in anger. “It appears, then,” he shouted scorn- fully, “that the Persians say I am giv- en to wine, and that therefore I am Reducing Our Husbands. “My husband has lost almost 10 pounds and he doesn't suspect that, with your help, I'm the cause! MRS. L.” Good work, Mrs. L. I give your letter for a cue to those other women, whose husbands are expanding. Here are some of the methods no doubt you used: Cook your vegetables without any fat at all. If you will cook them in very little water, so that it is all absorbed by the time the vegetables are cooked, and add a little salt, he will never know the difference. If you and the children need the extra fat, add it after cooking. At lunch and dinner serve him a good plateful of thin, clear soups, with- | out any fat on it. They are more filling | than “fattening,” for they are so low in | calories—an 8-ounce serving, 25 C. Cut all the fat off the meat before you serve it to him. Serve a good, big salad of vegetables before the meat order and use as dressing a little lemon juice or mineral oil mayonnaise, or, if he can have a little oll, just a small amount of French dressing, not enough so that there is any left in the dish. Serve fresh, stewed or baked fruit for dessert, or fruit ices or gelatin puddings. Again, if you and the children need extra nourishment, you can add some thick cream on the ices and gelatin puddings (licious combination). Bread and butter is one of the most frequent * dietary sins of the gver- weighters. See that hubby has his bread well crusted or toasted and lim- ited. Also be stingy with his butter allowance. ‘There are many other ways of limit- ing the calories that you can employ. He will thank you for it in the end.

The one in your gall bladder, I believe, is altogether too large to go through the gall duct. Nothing is known that will dissolve gallstones, especially one so large as yours, Mrs. F. You will have to have it removed surgically.

So, they said not the truth before!" He brpoded a moment and then, bit- terness blinding him, he again ad- dressed Prexaspes. “Learn then now for thyself whether the Persians speak trul He pointed to the son of Prexaspes, a youth who held the trusted position of cup bearer to the King, and went on: “If I, shooting at thy son there standing before the entrance to the chamber, hit him in the very middle of the heart, the Persians will be proved to be speaking falsely: but if I miss, then thou mayest say that I am not in my right mind.” Saying this, Cambyses drew his bow and loosed his arrow. The boy fell dead before his father's eyes. Upon command of Cambyses the body was cut open. The arrow had pierced the poor victim's heart. Cambyses laughed boisterously. “Prex- aspes,” he chaffed, “it has now been made evident, as thou seest, that I am not mad; and now tell me, whom of all men didst thou ever see before this time hit the mark so well in shooting?” Prexaspes, paled before the monster, fearing for himself. “Master,” he murmured, “I think that not even God himself could have hit the mark so fairly.” Mad Cambyses! His excesses al- ienated his people and allowed Gue- mata, one of the Magi, who pretended to be the King's slain brother, Smerdis, to succeed him. Cambyses died by his own hand. (Copyright, 1920.)
