BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. When the Pages went picnicking they often took ham sandwiches. Frequently the ham was taken from one which Nancy had boiled herself. This left odds and ends of small pleces which were not suitable for table serv- ice in that state. To use them up Nancy frequently made timbales of eggs and ham. This dish became a_rcund-the-year favorite. | She usually baked the timbales in indi- | necklaces to go with the various cos- | tumes in your wardrobe—oecause nieck- | | with which beige stockings and gloves .t vidual molds since the mixture vas al- | most too delicate to stand dishing out | when made in one large mold. H Among her wedding gifts Nancy had received some china ramekins which were just the thing for this dish. First, she ground the ham, having one cupful in all. She broke four eggs into a bowl, and beat them without separating whites from yolks. To the eggs she added one- fourth teaspoonful salt, one-fourth tea- spoonful onion juice, one-eighth tea- spoonful dry mustard, one teaspoonful table sauce, the cup of ground ham and one cupful milk. ‘This mixture was stirred well and then poured in lightly oiled or buttered mol ‘These were set in a pan of EGG andHAM TIMRALES water in moderate oven for three-quar- ters of an hour. At the end of that time the centers were firm when tested with a clean knife blade. ‘The timbales may be served in ramekins, or they may be unmolded onto rounds of buttered, toasted entire wheat flour bread. When this is done, surround the bread with mounds of cooked peas and small sections of cooked carrots. Pour a thin white sauce sparingly over the vegetables.

There has been some effort to revive long chains, but for dancing, as well as for sports wear, the long cha‘n is out of place and most women prefer necklaces of the non-dangling sort. ‘The most attractive sort of necklace for most women is the short neckla that rests at the base of the neck, with- out being literally a choker.

Serve in the dish in which they are baked. _—_— Miss Bondfield, British minister of labor, recently stated in Parliament that last year about $222,000,000 was paid _to claimants for unemployment benefit as well as about $30,000,000 as auxiliary relief to able-bodied unem- ployed. 3 Vollrath Hereis a ventilatea pan for your electric or gas refrigerator for only $1.85.

The Carrington Home Guard of Georgetown—Capt. Goddard and Lieuts. Waugh, Hutchins and Burroughs—with 55 men in the ranks, marched to the War Department this morning and the men were sworn in as soldiers of the Federal Government. The appearance of these men promises well for the ef- ficlency of the company when it gets into active service, in the opinion of those who watched them swing along Pennsylvania avenue. The Carrington Home Guard was inspected by Maj. McDowell at the War Department. The oath was then ad- ministered, not a man refusing to take it and all repeating loudly and clearly the language as it was dictated by the magistrate. It was rumored today that the call for troops in the District has been extended to 25 companies. ‘The officers of the President’s Mount- ed Guard today went to the War De- partment and tendered the services of that organization to the country when- ever wanted. Many other local military organizations tendered their services and several took the Federal oath. Extra military guards were placed around the President’s house and the War Department tonight.

SHEBOYGAN, WIS. s v Martin o A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. THAT robust, good-natured gentle- man, Charlle Abernethy, who rep- resents the third district of North Carolina in Congress, was invited to a party the other night. During the eve- ning he was intro- duced to 8 dis- tinguished Wash- ington woman. Her name he did not divulge. ‘When she learn- ed that he was a Congressman, she said bluntly: “You know, sir, I think Congress should be abol- ished. And when Aber- nethy inquired as to why she favored a move so revolu- tionary. the woman replied: “Because you are always picking on the District of Columbia.” That started him to thinking. And the other day on the floor of the House, when the annual appropriation bill for the District was up for consideration, he sought an explanation. “What'’s the trouble with us up here?” he asked. “What are they always peck- ing at us about? I lm?ust wondering if we’ll ever be able to get along with the District.” His colleagues laughed heartily. Abernethy’s repeated question of “Why are they always picking at us?” precipitated a long discussion as to how the District was faring at the hands of Congress. Holaday of Illinois, also a member of the appropriations com- mittee, made the bald statement: “No city in the United States enjoys the advantages from its city govern- ment that the citizens of the District of Columbia enjoy at the hands of the lgov:inmem of the District of Co- umbla.” Linthicum of Maryland was on his feet in an instant. “I'm willing to set up my City of Baltimore against the District of Co- lumbia at any time,” he shouted. It 1s Linthicum’'s favorite role— of his city on such ‘Washington e less than 50 miles apart, and the Marylander, whose district comprises a large part of that city, is it§ tireless champion in the House. “Well,” said Abernethy, after he had listened to explanations, “I want Wash- ington and the people of this great city to get what's coming to them, but 1 think a spirit of friendliness and co- operation with Congress should prevail. “With all this criticism, I can't see why a man would want to stay on a committee like appropriations, where they are always being jumped on.” “Perhaps,” sald Holaday, “we belong to that class of citizens who enjoy being jumped on.” PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. May Make Him Sick. I see by the papers that a bim over a year old need not have cod liver oil. Mine cries for it and he's 3. Here's a secret. Always call it bottled sunshine and never make a rite of the giving of the tablespoonful and never mention or permit any one to mention that it tastes bad, and the youngster will like it. Are two tablespoonfuls a day likely to be too much for a 3-year-old in the Winter? When I was a kid I called you Doc and you horped on me for it. Now I see you call yourself Old Doc(.AB?’dy. Answer—But this time you put a pe riod after the Doc, which makes a whale of a difference. I can't say 80 much cod liver oil will make your youngster sick, but I almost wish it would. Then you might stop feeding it and give the price to some poor 1l bimbo who really needs it. Almost every baby under a year old does need a daily ration say. one or two teaspoonfuls of cod liver oil. Lime in Water. ‘Would drinking er with a great deal of lime in it e a tendency 1o cause gallstones? (Mrs, H. R. L) Answer—Lime in water has no such effect. Varicose Veins.

Patients who have had this treatment refer to the effects as “magic.” The other treatment you men- tion is a name for the same method. —_— ‘Traffic control signal lights are just being introduced into Belfast, Ireland Famous For 50 Easters Place Orders At Once With Your Grocer Or Delicatessen THE Sc BAKINC " HNEIDE COMPANY ARUE R say you could devote a reasonable por- tion of your life to the quest, perhaps a half an hour or so, he sed.

(Copyright. 1930.) Afternoon Refreshments Should Be Nicely Varied ‘OUR choice of afternoon refresh- ments should be determined first of all by those who are to partake of them. For instance, the professor's wife, who is planning a little afternoon spread for some of her husband’s stu- dents who have met at his house, should take into consideration the proverbial hungriness of students, and the fact that they usually spend considerable time in outdoor exercise and that | dormitory fare is seldom overabundant. Her plans should be different from what they would be were she serving refresh- ments to the lacies of the sewing circle who had met at her house. Unless you know the tastes of your guests, it is better always to have a choice of beverages—that is, if you are serving tea it is a good plan to have a little hot chocolate ready, so that any who do not take tea m:- select the chocolate, In warm weather you might have grape juice for those who do not like lemonade. Sweet Sandwiches. Various sweet sandwiches may be devised as a pleasant alternative to cake, and do not take so long in preparation. If you can buy good bakers’ bread, the task is simple. Many of these are put together with slices of | whole wheat or graham bread. One good mixture is made by mixing to- | gether finely chopped walnut meats and scraped maple sugar. This should be spread not too thickly on buttered slices of graham bread. Orange marmalade sandwiches are often liked, and if you have currant jelly, this makes an excellent combina- tion with cream cheese. Freshly baked, very small baking powder biscuits, split and spread with the benefit of thcse who might not care for honey, you might spread some with strawberry or raspberry jam. Serving Cookles. In some sections of the country there is always a cooky jar, full, in the pantr. cookies are an admirable accompani- ment. If you have them on hand, so much the better. If you have to make them, then, of course, you can make more than enough for one serving, for a whole recipe of cookies is a good sized batch. ‘This is & delicious tidbit to eat with tea or coffee in the afternoon. some ple crust very thin, sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon and turn it over itself three or four times. Now roll out thin again and cut in strips 2 or 3 inches long and !2 inch wide. Bake these until they begin to brown. It is not much trouble to make them, espe- cially if you use the “leavings” from & pie, and they are really delicious and unusual. Don’t have your refreshments too sweet. Especially in hot weather the oversweet afternoon refreshments are unattractive to many persons. If you have sweet lemonade, a plain cooky, not too sweet, is good rather than a rich layer cake. Bits of sponge cake are also good in hot weather, for sponge cake is never rich or oversweet. Banana Butter. ‘Three cups (115 pounds) banana pulp, six and one-half cups (23; pounds) sugar, juice of one lemon, one-fourth teaspoonful butter, one bottle pectin. Use only mellow, ripe bananas. Crush to a fine pulp. Put crushed fruit into large kettle and add sugar, butter and lemon juice. Mix and bring to a bofl, | stirring constantly.
