THE POST-DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1939

By BETTY BARCLAY And they’re here again, with all the full flavor and brilliant color that appetites crave in Fall meals. Gay and sturdy, this earliest American fruit has both eye and taste appeal. Cranberry Catsup is as tangy a condiment as ever complemented a baked ham, a succulent roast beef, or a tender duckling. Originally discovered growing wild on the low marshes of Cape Cod, the cranberry has an honorable history. Tradition says that the Pilgrims learned how to use the sour wild berry from their Indian neighbors. Since then, over one hundred years of cultivation have improved the taste and nutritive content of the fruit so that it is now a food high in vitamins and minerals. But enough of health talk. Cranberries are good to look at and good to taste and that’s the best possible reason for using them in the many modern ways suggested here.

Cranberry Catsup 4 pounds fresh cranberries 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 2 cups vinegar 1 teaspoon ground cloves 2 cups water 1 teaspoon allspice 4 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon salt Cook cranberries, vinegar and water together until all the skins pop open. Put through sieve. Combine with remaining ingredients and cook together for 5 minutes. Seal in hot sterilized jars. Makes 2 1 / & quarts catsup.

Cranberry Nut Bread 1 cup cranberries % cup chopped walnuts 1 cup sugar Grated rind 1 orange 3 cups flour 1 egg 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons melted butter Put cranberries through food chopper and mix with % cup of sugar. Sift remaining sugar, flour, baking powder and salt together and add nuts and orange rind. Beat egg slightly, combine with milk and melted butter and add to first mixture. Fold in cranberries. Bake in buttered bread pan in moderate oven, 350° F., about 1 hour.

Winter Fruit Tarts 2 cups fresh cranberries, halved 2 cups sugar 2 cups chopped apple % teaspoon salt Vz cup pineapple tidbits 6 tart shells Vz cup whipped cream Combine cranberries, apple, pineapple, sugar and salt and let stand for 2 to 3 hours. Just before serving, fill tart shells with fruit mixture; to> with whipped cream. Makes 6 tarts.

MODERN MUSEUM SHOWSJCASSO Art Museums and Collectors World Over Have Contributed

New York.—Despite the risks of wartime shipping, art museums and collectors the world over have contributed their possessions to the showing of the works of Pablo Picasso which opened at the Museum of Modern Art. One of the most unusual assemblages of paintings, drawings, sculpture and tapestries ever brought together. the one-man show is a ^highlight of the art season. Picasso, the man who became a legend in his own lifetime, is the leading European contributor with 30 items. Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., made the largest American loan, 32 pictures. The Art Institute of Chicago collaborated with the Museum in presenting the show. The exhibition, entitled “Picasso —Forty Years of I^js Art,’’ is described as “the greatest comprehensive presentation” of the m«dernist’s works ever assembled. It covers all his periods from 1898 to 1939 and consists of 362 oils, water colors, tempera, drawings, prints, 1 tion w'hich has provoked endless lithographs, bronzes and other products of the colorful imaginacontroversies in the modern 'world of art here and abroad. * Modern Setting The exhibition will be open to the public until Jan. 7, after which it will be shown at the Chicago Ant Institute from Feb. 1 to March 3. The recently completed Museum of Modern Art, built and equipped at a cost of $2,000,000, has become one of the city’s show places. Situated just north of Rockfeller Center, it is in the psirit of that modern group of skyscrapers, although it .is only six stories higlh. Its facade of composition glass allows a maximum of light for the three main galleries and gives the structure a striking architectural quality. Two of its features are the outdoor garden where sculpture is shown and the Film Library where the classics and relics of the films are stored and shown to film critics and students of the history of the cinema.

War Cautions Are Ordered At Gulf Port New Orleans—Officials of the Port of New Orleans have taken precautions to guard this nation’s neutrality and prevent any ship clearing for a port in a warring nation with war materials. A. Miles Pratt, collector of customs in a statement issued to steamship owners, agents and operators, ordered that no vessel may clear at New Orleans for a foreign port until all shippers’ export declarations covering the cargo laden on the ship has been filed with custom authorities. This order, Pratt v said, is effective until the end of the European war. In the past government regulations have permitted ships to clear for foreign ports without completing export declarations upon permission granted by the collector. These regulations, however, have been amended for the war period. o Students Firm Against Call To War Duty Berkeley, Cal.—So opposed are students of the University of California to America’s involvement in the European war that many of them, a campus poll revealed, declared they would not fight and furthermore would prefer to go to jail rather than serve in armed forces. The poll, covering 2,300 students, showed that a majority opposed repeal of the present neutrality law. The main questions oil the ballot and the replies: 1—If the United States becomes involved in a war what yould you do? A—Volunteer, 484. B—Wait to be drafted, 1, 242. C—'Refuse to fight and face a possible prison sentence, 558. o V BLINDNESS NO HANDICAP

New Haven, Conn.—Henry T. fstas has been sightless since birth. He is a successful lawyer and now hdTs a place on the board of aldermen, having defeated his opponent by a 10-vote margin in a spirited campaign.

TOMATO CHEESE DUMPLINGS do wonders for Beef Stew Says Dorothy Greig

lyfOTHER had no patience with ItI what she called “humdrum cooking.” “Serve the good old everyday dishes, of course,” she would say. “But vary them now and then with a different quirk to lend new zest. Besides it’s fun,” she would add. And it is. Take our old friend beef stew, for instance. Thick with tender cubes of meat and vegetables, it’s a fine dish. But next

time you make it, try these two flavor tricks to make your good stew even better. First in the last hour Of cooking add a can of condensed tomato soup. It enriches the gravy and indeed makes the whole stew richer. Then serve these tomato cheese dumplings with it. The members of your family will look surprised to see rosy dumplings arrive on top of the stew But it won’t take them long to discover how good they are; Tomato Cheese Dumplings (/or your next beef stew) 1 cup prepared biscuit flour % cup grated cheese 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped % cup tomato juice % teaspoon baking soda Combine the prepared biscuit flour, grated cheese, soda and chopped parsley; then mix. Add the tomato juice to make a moderately stiff dough. Drop the dumpling mixture by teaspoonfuls on top of the stew. Cover and let cook and steam for 10-12 minutes. The dumplings should rest on the meat and vegetables while steaming, so it may be necessary to take out some of the liquid before adding the dumplings to the stew. The CHICKEN dish with the big MUSHROOM FLAVOR Dorothy Greig

TN our town chicken was the com1. pany dish. I sometimes think our minister must have eaten an awful lot of it in his time, for having the minister to supper almost invariably meant serving chicken. But at that he probably shared our relish for it. When the famous cooks of our town went into action with their fried chicken, roast chicken, chicken pie,

chicken fricassee and all the fixin’s, the meal was wonderful indeed, a taste of glory right here on earth. Today, of course, a fine chicken dish is still a treat. I know of one that would rank among the top notchers in any company of cooks. Its special point is a creamy mushroom sauce. This mushroom sauce not only adds its own deep mushroom savor to the final dish but it actually seems to enhance the flavor of the chicken itself. The two flavors mingle to create a dish that is a real delight. It is made this way: Chicken and Mushroom Casserole 4 lb. roasting chicken 2 tablespoons fat % teaspoon salt % teaspoon pepper Vz cup hot water 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup % cup milk Have the butcher disjoint chicken and cut in pieces; brown in the hot fat and then put chicken in a casserole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour % cup hot water in bottom of the casserole. Cover and cook in a moderate (350°F.) oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Then mix the milk with the cream of mushroom soup and heat but do not boil. Add this to the chicken; the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. Serves 6. o INDIANAPOLIS HOLDUP Indianapolis, Dec. 3.—Slugged by a bandit, Fritts A.' JVaggoner, 37 years old, 1505 Linden street, was robbed of a small amount of money in the rear of his home early yesterday. Waggoner suffered a slight concussion from the blow on the head.

It’s Steak and Mushrooms For Dinner Tonight

Round steak goes ’round bursting with pride, because of the mushroom stuffing inside!

tjroOF of the adage "it’s not what X you do, but how you do R,” is this economical version of a luxurious favorite—steak and mushrooms. Satisfying both palate and pocket, as well as festive enough for a feast, round steak rolls from the oven tender as tenderloin, with fulLflavored canned mushrooms to give a double richness to the savory dressing. The “inside story” is the downright goodness of canned mushroom stuffing, tucked into steak that is roasted slowly in moist heat until it is tender and succulent to the last savory mouthful. A surprise for the family, or treat for your guests, it’s handsome enough for a holiday party, with that garnish in the traditional holiday colors—the red of radish roses and the green of crisp, zestful watercress. Good to look at, delicious to eat, the tested recipe follows: Round Steak with Mushroom Stuffing IV2 lbs. round steak, 2 tbsps. butter cut thin 1 cup bread crumbs Vi teasp. thyme and 1 8-oz. can sliced or sage button mushrooms t medium size onion. Salt, pepper • : chopped fine Flour

Drain sliced or button mushrooms from liquid (use liquid to flavor sauces or gravy). If button mushrooms are used, chop coarsely, reserving a few for garnish. Add bread crumbs to* mushrooms and brown in butter. Add thyme and sage; add onion, blend well and spread on steak. Roll steak like a jelly roll and fasten with skewers. Season meat with salt and pepper, dust with flour. Brown in hot fat in roasting pan, or in oven glass baking dish. Add water to cover bottom of dish and roast, covered, in moderate oven (350° F.) until meat is tender—1 to 1% hours. Note: Flank steak, scored and larded, may be used instead of round steak if desired. Or broil and serve with: Mushroom Bteak Sauce y.

Some Truths About Vacuum Cleaners By Katharine Fisher Director, Good Housekeeping Institute

“But, Mary, not on my oriental,” 1 heard a neighbor say to her new

maid.

\ I stopped in amazement. Can it be, I thought, that women still imistrust the safety of the vacuum cleaner on their expensive rugs and carpets? Unfortunately, yes! And yet for years we at Good Housekeeping Institute have known that a good vacuum cleaner actually prolongs the life of rugs and carpets by removing deeply embedded grit. It has been proved without a question of doubt that hours of use of a cleaner approximating many, many years did no harm whatsoever to rugs and

carpets. - * , Perhaps the laige amount of fluff or lint which comes from rugs, particularly new ones, is partly responsible for the fear some women have of using a cleaner. As a matter of fact, all pile rugs will shed fluff or lint—cut-off nap or shearings, the carpet manufacturer calls it—especially when first cleaned. This will have no effect on the wearing qualities; it is nothing but the accumulation of short, small wool particles inherent in the spinning of the yarn and the weaving and finishing of the pile. Certainly the vacuum cleaner will remove it. It should be removed —and the quicker the better—to prevent it from matting and working its way down to the bottom

of the pile, carrying the dirt with ib

I have been wondering for some time, and perhaps you may have wondered, too. just how effectively you

are cleaning when you use a machine which is. let us say, five or six years old. As a check I put the question straight to our Institute engineers and to vacuum-cleaner manufacturers as well. 1 found that if a good cleaner has had reasonable care, the drop in cleaning efficiency should be slight We are often asked to tell what we consider the best way to use a vacuum cleaner. We believe that rugs and carpets in rooms used constantly should be cleaned every day. If the nozzle is properly adjusted, it is not necessary to go over the surface of a rug more than twice to remove threads, hair, and other litter an the top of the rug. as well as the d’rt and grit in the pile. Five minutes a day spent on a rug is far bett -r tor it than fifteen minutes twice a week. The reason is plain enough. the dirt while it is still on the surface, and do not wait until several dr>. 9 of walking on the rug have tramped it down into the pile. Run the.cleaner at moderate speed, just a little slower than you usually walk, and get into the habit of standing erect as you work. Avoid quick jerky strokes. They merely use up your energy and contribute little to your cleaning. If you have a maid, take the time to teach her these points about vacuum cleaning. She will take more pride in keeping your house clean. Now with the dirt “in the bag”, the next step is disposing of It Emptying a cleaner bag is a dusty, unpleasant business, but it must be done every time the cleaner is used. (We all cheat a little, of course.) Not just a casual emptying of the content^, but a thorough brushing and gentle but persistent shaking of the bag. We often use a “brush” made of sponge rubber instead of a whisk broom, as it holds the dust and dirt and is so easy to wash out afterward. Manufacturers are well aware of the disagreeableness of this job. Several of them have already devisetf schemes for lessening the unpleasantness of getting rid of the dust. But the problem is a real one and one not easy to solve. Just as soon as it is possible for them to give us more convenience in cleaners, you may

be sure we shall have it.

Indian Chief Savvys Nice Legal Ruling Salt Lake City, Utah—The decorum of Utah Attorney General Joseph Chez’s office was badly upset when seven chiefs and assistant chiefs from Goshute Indian reservation appeared for legal advice. They had a stack of complaints that included -charges that w r hite settlers in the vicinity were diverting water away from Indian crops and that white merchants were peddling groceries on the reservation against the Goshutes’ wishes, but there was one prob-

I lam that baffled the attorney genj eral. The Indians, Chief Mumarch Tomoke said, were permitted to kill deer on the reservation the year ’round, regardless of regular seasons. But what was to be done with a deer that fell with one half on the reservation and the other 1 outside, when the season was; closed. “If most of the deer falls on your side, take it and say nothing,” Chez remain mended. “If most falls on the other , side of the line, well—maybe somebody should drag it over before a game warden comes along.” Chief Temoke nodded sagely. o had airplanes in the Gobi desert we would have saved many weary miles.”

YEAR REMAINS OF FIRM RULE BY CARDENAS

Mexican Leader Marks Fifth Anniversary in Office. Mexico, D. F.—Gen. Lazaro Cardenas del Rio today completed five years as President of United Mexican States, a post-revolutionary

record.

Since the overthrow of Gen. Pvofirio Diaz in 1911, after he had been president of Mexico for 30 years, nobody has been in office as long as Cardenas. He was inaugurated on Nov. 30, 1934, .succeeding Gen. Aberlardo Rodriquez. The term is now six years., so Cardenas is starting on his last year as chief exectuive. Undoubtedly Cardenas will go down into history as an important president, not only for length of service, but for the unusual amount of things dnne in that time. Patriotic Mexicans have hailed .him as the greatest and strongest president since the days of Benito Juarez, while some say he is the greatest national hero since Miguel Hidalgo, who proclaimed the independence in 1810. Defies Big Powers Cardenas has surpassed all recent presidents of Mexico in one vital respect, his independence of the United States. When the oil troubles arose, Cardenas did not hesitate to take over the foreign petroleum properties (on March 18, 1938) without a thought of what the State Department at Washington might think about it. He previously had taken over the National Railways, and seized the big cotton estates in the Laguna region, owned mostly by British, American and Spanish land-

owners.

Great Britain vigorously protested all these actions. In April and May, 1938, it demanded that Mexico return the oil properties and pictured Mexico as a virtually bankrupt nation. 'Cardenas ended this series of protests by suspending diplomatic relations with the Court of St. James, reminding His Majesty’s minister here that Britain herself, despite her great resources and power, had not lived up to all its obligations, referring to the default on *the United States war debts. Determined to Step Down Several times recently, moves have been started to “draft” Cardenas to run for re-election (which would necessitate a constitutional amendement), or to have his term of office ‘‘extended’ ’another two or more years, as so many presidents in the Americas have done. Cardenas, however, steadfastly has stuck to his resolution of serving out his term, then to step down, hand over ‘the office rto his peacefully elected successor, and live in Mexico as a private citizen. He is eager to disprove the old Mexican axiom that “strong presidents either end up by going to the cemetery, or into exile.” o RICH WALNUT FOR COURT
