There are many Spanish or Cuban dishes of which the writer has never heard and the above is one of them, but a Cuban dish that may be unhesitatingly recommended to the _fasti- dious is “arroz con pollo.” It required 260 eight-columh news- paper. pages, or 2,080 newspaper columns, —the same standard size used By The Citi- zen,—to publish Cook county’s tax-delin- quent property. Chicago is the principal city in this county. Since The Citizen pub- lished only three eight-column newspaper pages of delinquent taxes, Jonah thinks we're not so bad off down here, after all. Those citizens of Key West who go about boasting they have not paid their taxes and advising others who do pay to dodge them, are not imbued. with the | proper spirit of citizenship, and this at- titude has done more than anything else to bring about our present” “deplorable economic condition. Citing of aggravation by official shiftlessness should not be an excuse for failure to pay taxes but on the contrary an incentive to have an un- bearable situation remedied. Ne tipping in Key West!

Doran, former pro- hibition chief and now Administrator of the Distilled Spirits Industry, has noted a steadily increasing demand for blended rye and bourbon whiskies. In the last six months, rye and bourbon blends have définitely been established as the favorite American drinks. Before prohibition more than seventy per cent of the whiskies consumed in the United States were blends. In the first flush of repeal however, the public con- fused the term with the bootlegger’s prac- tice of “cutting’’, and there was a curious demand for straight whiskies, which tempt- ed some distilleries to rush green liquor, but recently distilled, into the shops. | The blending of whiskey, like the} blending of coffee, tea, champagne or to- bacco, is more or less of an art. No two| concerns do it exactly the same. Some, particularly nowadays when there is lit- tle matured whiskey in the distilleries | operating in the United States, use for a base, whiskey that is immature and mix, it with sherry or neutral spirits. i Other concerns, more eager to build an enduring reputation for tomorrow than H to get rich quickly today, used as the base of their blends, one or more full-bodied whiskies which have been aged for at least i four years in charred oak barrels. One company alone holds in excess of , 12,000,000 gallons of Canadian whiskey, | which is five years old and more. Con- siderable quantities of this liquor are be- ing imported for use as the basis of blends. It is serving to tide over the years that must elapse until ryes and bourbon distilled in the United States since repeal have at-| tained a decent maturity. The green straight whiskies poured into the vats after repeal set in are only raw distillates as yet, but some of them have been artifically colored and shipped to retailers. The authorities state that in order to be sure of what you are drinking, make certain that the base of the blend is ma- tured whiskey, emanating from the ware- house of a reputable firm.
