My Neighbor Says: Summer vegetables should be cooked on the same day they are gathered. Look them over and wash well, cutting out all decayed parts. Always cook vegetables in freshly boiled water, using as little as possible—just enough to cover. Keep the water boiling until the vegetables are done. ‘When cooking green vegetables add salt the last few minutes of cooking. Only half the quantity of sugar will be required to sweeten stewed fruit if it is added after the fruit is cooked, not while it is cooking. If an onfon is cut in halves and placed in a room that has been newly painted it will absorb the odor of paint in a few hours. If & stopper is too large for a bottle, cut a piece out of the side of the tapered end and squeeze the parts together to fit the bottle. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM Pays to Provide Place to Play. In & pleasant residential neighbor- hood on the edge:of a large city park, yet far enough from the traffic of the parkway to be safe for dogs, kids and grandfathers—and what's a home com- munity without these vital features?-— there are a million dogs and kids, re- spectively, or at least there's our dog and a few kids in the ensemble. These | gaq kids have the whole park at their dis- posal, when the big kids are not using it. Yet whenever 20 or 30 kids get together in the neighborhood, they can’t see the park at all. They play on the pavement, and they dispute the right of way with any vehicle that ventures to use it. Once in a season or two a cop halls in sight and shoos the kids off the street, for there is an ordinance or something prohibiting base ball on the public highway. But this happens only when some outraged resident, at the moment not boarding any , de- mands protection from the police. You can't blame the resident for getting annoyed when the kids smash a win- dow or trample over his lawn or de- stroy his flowers or something. Nor can you blame the kids for these out- Tages—not if you were one yourself & while ago. What is the solution of this problem? Is it to be dealt with by “education” of lhel‘s)lrenu in safety rules? By radio sort of thing? Baloney. This advice so freely handed out by zealous folk | who take upon themselves the duty of conserving child life—the lives of other folks’ children—only stirs the resent- ment of a parent who has children to care-for. Kids will always be kids, and if the street is the best available place to play, they will always play there. In this instance I cite the trouble is that the park is just a big waste of ground, so far as these kids are con- cerned. Yes, it is a fine place for the big kids to play golf, tennis or base ball. The city maintains at great ex- pense an 18-hole golf course, & score of tennis courts, half a dozen ball dia- monds, even lawns for bowling. But there’s no place for the little kids to play ball in the park. If they attempt to start a game, the park police promptly run them off. So they have 10 play on the pavement. A real estate promoter in & Southern city purchased a tract of 256 acres 8 miles from the business center of the city. He made a present of 114 acres of this land to the city park com- mission with only one condition—that the land be used for recreational or other athletic purposes. He subdivided the remaining 60 per cent of the tract and marketed- it for residential sites. He reports that this transaction was good business on his part, for the play- ground enhanced the vaiue of the ree maining portion of the land so that he made a satisfactory profit. If a city or community is sincere in the movement to protect children from the dangers of modern traffic, every available bit of ground ought to be con- sidered as a suitable location for & play- ground or athletic fleld.

Down with the trees and away with the grass if the kids must play in the streets or on private premises. A public park in an urban commu- nity where the children are compelled to play in the street. if at all, is a perversion of esthetic taste and civic pride. Are not nts voters?

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. At the spinster luncheon which Sally gave she had a delicious menu, from the first well chilled tomato juice cock- tail through the Oriental lamb, with fresh peas and souffle tatoes, the fruit salad to the strawberry bombe. |be. To make it the chef had used French endive, radiating fan fashion. Between the ribs of the fan he had placed sections of chilled grapefruit and orange and slices of alligator pear. Rosettes of cream cheese, with a slice of ripe olive on top, were at the base of the fan. A French dressing blended with currant jelly was put over the salad. Toasted crackers were served with it. But the piece de resistance of the luncheon was the Orfental lamb. The girls finally obtained the recipe from the chef. He had cut tender pieces of raw lamb from the shoulder or leg into 2-inch squares and l5-inch thick. A square | was put on a silver or nickel skewer. Then came a piece of bay leaf, and so on, until the skewer held elght pleces of lamb. This was then broiled until the outside was almost burned and crisp. The skewer was placed on the hot luncheon plate with a mound of well cooked rice. Over the rice was a sauce Diable. A shallot or two slices of mild onion are cooked in a table- | spoonful of vinegar until the liquid is gone. Then a half cupful of stock, a teaspoonful of mushroom catsup and a tablespoonful of tomato catsup are put in. Salt, pepper and cayenne are added | to taste. Cook for a few moments and | then strain and serve with the lamb. ‘The girls at the luncheon all decided to make this at home. e Interested in showers, write care of this paper. inclosini o [ addressed envelope, “Showers.” stamped. her leafiet on | (Copyright, 1929.)

The boy who a few years back was toil- ing in the oil flelds, with no thought of & motion picture career, finds the diffi- culties of modern day cinematics no hindrance to his career, but a help. Arlen broke a leg while working as messenger boy for a film laboratory. He was delivering film to one of the large studios of Hollywood, and collided with a property truck. Studio people | took an interest in him, and suggested that he take up work as an extra while | waiting for the broken limb to regain its strength. | For two years he played extra roles and bit parts. And then luck smiled on | him and he got the part of the young aviator in one of the first of the bird- men pictures. Jobyna Ralston, his leading lady, became his wife.

The cameramen know so much of the cinema angle that they supplement the stage director beauti- | fully. ‘The old movie directors just sniff at the mention.of $1,000 a week. Such salaries have been paid on Pov- erty Row. From the present state of affairs it would look as though those of the old regime would have to take dras- tic cuts if they are to stay and compete with the Broadway names coming in.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT Ever so often there goes out from ! the United States Treasury a statement “The Treasury estimates that ——" And the fiscal future of this country is outlined in subsequent paragraphs. Behind this impersonal phrase there stands one of the jolliest and most care- | ful men in Washington—Joseph S. Mc- | Coy, the Treasury’s actuary and the chief gazer into America’s financial fu- | ture. Iz How much will be realized by the government next year in income tax collections? | How many cig- arettes will be smoked? | How many men will de and leave " large estates? It is up to Me- | Coy - to _speculate | on all these and other matters from which the United States derives rev- enue, and give an answer. How he does it is his secret. | All that is known to outsiders is that he scratches with a pencil. adds and subtracts a good deal, consults a sheaf of papers, and then reports.

At the Capitol McCoy often has been attacked as a prophet. But Secre- tary Mellon just about as frequently has proven that his chief gazer’s errors are negligible. Whenever the surplus and deficit figures are given out— figures often quoted in Congress and on the political stump—particular in- terest is aroused. But it is generally conceded that when McCoy does err it is on the cau- tious side—over for deficit, under for surplus. Perhaps his merry mien may be ex- plained in some measure by his delight in always finding that the United States Government is in better financial condition than he had preditced. F. fal | C. PLUMMER. The new currency also is strength- ened by having the grain of the paper the long way of the note, which is made possible by having the silk dis- tributed over the whole note instead of in two rows. Counterfeiters and note raisers will find themselves baffled if they at- tempt o tamper with the new issue. | Changes in desighi have been made. and while they arp not material and the new notes re- tain practically ail the major charac- teristics of the present currency, nevertheless they are significant. i For instance, some of the portraits now used have been reallocated or dis- continued in order to avoid repetitior. Restriction of a particular portrait'to & given denomination of currency also has been followed. Thus the presence of Washington's portrait at once will iden- tify the note as being of a given de- nomination, irrespective of class. And, too, the design on the back will | have some familiar connection with the subject of the portrait on the face. | The task of replacement is no small one. Mr. Hall estimates there will be 857.- 017,608 old_bills, or about 3,000.000 pounds of money, to come In and be displaced by the new issue. — Halibut Souffle.

Mix very thoroughly and put into a well buttered rI.ng mold. Cover with buttered paper and set in a pan of hot water in the oven. Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes. To serve, unmold onto & hot dish and fill the center with small potato balls, some rolled in minced parsley, and some dredged with paprika. Accompany with cream or cheese szuce to which minced parsley and diced, hard-cooked eggs have been added. This dish is delicious and attractive. It is not generally known, perhnpa‘[ | but there has been a little propaganda | | war as to who should have the privilege of clothing the neck of the President | of the United States. Stiff collar publicists have claimed that President Hoover has always worn hard collars. Soft collar enthusiasts recently countered with a statement | that the President wears a soft shirt and soft turned-down collar. ' Inquiry at the White House reveals | that Hoover wears a shirt with a soft collar attached while playing “bull in | the ring” each morning, but at all | other times he sticks to starch. Not only will the American people be able to get more paper money into their pockets after July 1, but the Govern- ment will effect a tidy saving by reduc- tion in size of our currency. So says A. W. Hall, director of the | Bureau of Engraving and Printing. He estimates that the change will save each year 18,740 miles of paper 3 inches wide. Expressed in area, the paper saved would cover ten 100-acre farms. Also 459 tons of ink, or the capacity of 15 box cars, and 14,100 cubic feet of space for each of the 1,000,000,000 notes carried in stock (the annual output of currency in the United States). ‘The new currency will be put int> circulation about July 1. It is the first time in 66 years that a change in the size of American paper money has been made, and is therefore an important event. Every department of the Bureau of | Engraving and Printing is going 2t full blast. Approximately 5,000 employes are working in shifts grinding out bills of all denominations. ‘The several hundred machines in the hyge plant on Fourteenth street just below the Washington Monument are turning out greenbacks with lightning rapidity. Every effort is being made, from Director Hall to the lowliest emplo; to be ready when Secretary Mellon giv the order to turn the smail bills loose. ‘These smaller notes, says Mr. Hall are destined for a much longer life. He believes that more notes will be carried in pockets with no folds, or with a lessening number of folds. ADVERTISEMENT NEXT WASHDAY 1 TOOK YOUR ADVICE ANb DID THE WEEK’'S WASH WITH RINSO ...
