* Give Foreign Fare a Trial For Parties

Miss Chambers. Says Hungry Guests Like Meals of This Type.

The annual Indianapolis Cooking School will be con.ducted by Ruth Chambers, Oct. 13, 14 and 15.

By RUTH CHAMBERS National Livestock and Meat Board

Does the “crowd” like to gather at your home, and are you puzzled to know what to serve to the hungry group? You want something easy to prepare and serve, food which

“goes a long way” and is economical, yet you want to be very tasty and somewhat different from everyday fare. A young hostess I know solves this problem by serving foreign fare, and giving it something of the background of its native land. She has given a series of colorful supper parties, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Swedish. The latter featured, of course, the well-known smorgasbord or buffet array of tasty tidbits.

One-Dish Meals Easy

Most of the foreign dishes adapt-. ed for this furpose are of the onedish type in which meat and vegetakies are cooked together. Chop suey or chow mein from the Chinese, Hungarian goulash, spaghetti dishes from the Italian, Sukiyaki from the Japanese, Russian meat balls, Mexican dishes with their chili flavor, all those are easily prepared and will serve an indefinite number of hungry persons. It is easy to cook a large amount of these dishes, and the food will not be wasted if some of it is left over, for it is good when reheated. The less expensive cuts of meat are used.in these dishes, for the meat is cut in small pieces and the long, slow cooking makes it very tender. This slow cooking is important if the flavors are to be well blended.

Tour World at Home

A little “tour of the world” at home might be arranged by a group of hostesses, each taking one country. . If you live in a large and cosmopolitan city, it will be easy to get distinctive foods of various nationalities to accompany the main dishes, but if this proves difficult or impossible, the table decorations, linens, glassware and dishes may still give the right foreign accent. Any of the following recipes may be used for your supper party.

Bitki (Russian Meat Balls)

1 loaf white bread Milk 12 pound chopped beef or veal Salt and pepper Nutmeg 2 tablespoons butter 2- onions 3% cup sour cream. Discard the crust from the bread, which is set to soak in as much milk as it will absorb. When its has stood 15 minutes squeeze out the excess milk from the bread. Mix with the chopped meat, add salt and pepper and a very little nutmeg. Form inte round cakes and fry in the butter along with finely sliced onions. When browned, add the sour cream. Let bubble up once or twice and serve with . the sauce poured over the meat balls. If the cream is not sour enough add the juice of half a lemon. :

Chili Con Carne

1 pound ground beef 1 tablespoon shortening 1 chopped onion 1 clove of garlic 1 can oven-baked kidney beans 1 teaspoon salt Dash of pepper 14 teaspoon chili powder 1 can cream of tomato soup 1 cup grated cheese

Brown the meat in the shortening ‘then add the chopped onion and garlic. To this add the kidney beans, tomato soup and seasonings and heat thoroughly, Just before serving, top with cheese and put under the broiler to melt.

Italian Spaghetti with Meat Balls

Meat Balls 1 pound ground beef chuck 1, pound ground pork 11; teaspoons salt 1, teaspoon pepper Mix meat with seasonings and shape into small balls 132 inches in diameter. Sauce 1 clove garlic 2 tablespoons lard 1 can tomato paste 2 cups tomato pulp 1 shredded pimento 1 teaspoon paprika 1, teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter 1 pound spaghetti Chop the garlic fine and brown in the lard. Add vegetables and seasonings. Add the meat balls, cover and sim*mer 45 minutes. Remove from heat, add the butter and pour over the cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with a crisp vegetable salad. Serves 6.

AAA SETS PARLEYS . WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 (U. PJ). —The Agricultural Adjustment Administration announced today that local farm meetings will be held beginning Nov. 8 to elect community committees to speed the 1938 soil conservation program.

Cook slowly 10 minutes. |?

“Maybe they've forgotten me,” mused bald, bearded Willard Hyatt, 83-year-old Burlington, Mich., farmer, waiting for death beside the tombstone he bought 18 years ago. Hyatt, who has outlived four wives, believed that because both his mother and father died when they were 80, he also would die at that age.- So he had a stone cutter carve 1934 on the headstone as the date of his death. He lives on.

LOGAL MAN GETS POST AT COLLEGE

ENDEAVOUR | FOUND, STEAMSHIP RADIOS

LONDON, Sept. 27 (U. P). — A British steamship flashed word today that it had sighted the yacht Endeavour I, missing at sea for two weeks, off the southwest tip of Ire-

land. A report, subsequently denied, was received last week that Endeavour I, 1934 challenger for the America’s Cup, was safe. But today the Valentia, Ireland, agent of Lloyd’s, received from the British tank steamship Cheyenne the message: “11:12 a. m. Endeavour 260 miles southwest Fastnet. Alcock, Master.” It was two weeks to the day after the yacht parted from a tow line 540 miles off Newport, R. I., on her way home to England.

By GILBERT LOVE Times Special Writer GAULEY BRIDGE, W. Va., Sept. 27.—Raymond knew he had to die. ‘He didn’t want to suffer the slow, painful death that had come to other I Big Tunnel, so he hastened the end by drinking forbidden liquors at pre-death parties that were given for him by

lated around Gauley Bridge when anyone mentions silicosis, the incurable lung disease that doomed a never-to-be-known number of the 5000 men who helped drill a big tunnel through a mountain of silica rock to create an artificial Niagara Falls for power purposes. Five years have passed since the drilling work was completed, and a year and a half since a Congressional investigation of the tragedy fizzled out, but the slow gray death ‘caused by the glassy dust in the tunnel still hovers over the southern West Virginia mountains,

Crawl Off Into Hills

One does not see many living skeletons. on the streets of Gauley Bridge today, but that’s because most of the victims who are still alive have crawled off into the mountains to spend their last painful days, weeks or years. Nearly every little cluster of shacks hanging to the sides of a mountain gulley has at least one gasping, wheezing survivor of the tunnel tragedy. Some of the sufferers have been fighting off death for four or five years. Others, who thought they had escaped the dread disease, have just recently started to cough and lose weight. Silicosis sometimes strikes five or 10 years after exposure to silica dust. How many have died? How many will die? Nobody knows exactly. The majority of the tunnel workers were transient laborers, and many of their bodies are scattered over the country. Even the number of local cases is in doubt; the deaths are often attributed to pneumonia or tuberculosis.

Says 2000 Dead or Dying

It is possible to make a rough estimate of the number of victims, however—and that estimate is

Such are the stories that are re-

startling. Dr. L. R. Harless, local physician

who treated many of the ailing tunnel workers and was the first to suspect their trouble might be silicosis, told the writer he did not see how anyone who had worked in the tunnel any length of time could have escaped contracting the disease. About 2000 men are said to have worked in the tunnel for months. If Dr. Harless’ fears are well founded, 2000 men either have died already or are in danger of dying soon. . The only memorial to those who died is’ a state historical marker, recently erected on the highway that passes over the mouth of the Big Tunnel. And it does not mention the tragedy. It tells only of the engineering feat by which a water fall nearly as high as Niagara was created.

Pooled Meager Funds

Those pre-death parties of the mountain workers must have been ghoulish affairs, but they were given with the best of intentions. Several families would band together, pool their meager resources to buy food and drink, then invite one of the walking dead men to forget the fate that awaited him. The fact that the tunnel victims had no escape from death became so well known that doctors took no pains to hide the awful truth from their patients. Several times they made contracts with doomed men providing for autopsies on their bodies after death. In return, the men were promised decent burials. A storekeeper told about George Robinson, husky Negro who was taken to New York by the volunteer Gauley Bridge Committee of that city after the short-lived Congressional investigation. “The doctors over there told Him he didn’t have it bad,” said the storekeeper, “but just after he came

back he began to fall off real fast, and he died. ; ~ “Charlie Jones had a real bad case they said, but he’s still alive.”

Elated at Being Alive

Mr. Jones seems to be one of the more prominent victims. This is partly because he lives near a main highway, and partly because he lost three sons and a brother-in-law in the tunnel tragedy. He-is elated over being alive today. “Winter before last,” he said, “I told those reporters in New York

| that I gave myself only about a

year more. I meant it, because I felt awful while I was in New York. “But here I am. Maybe Jd can live five or even 10 years. The doctors say you sometimes live that

long, even with a bad case. I can’t’

do nothing, though. Can't even work in the garden. “The wife can take care of the garden now that she gets the widow's pension. When she was working for the- WPA she had a hard time doing it.” Asked if he ever saw any of the other victims, he said no; that he hadn’t been out of the house for a long time. He gazed off over the mountains from the front porch of his home. “I'd like to see that tunnel,” he said. “They've got water running through it now, and they say it’s fixed up real pretty.”

May Be Truth in Theory

Mr. Jones estimates “practically every man from around here that went to work in the tunnel got silicosis, and most of them are dead.

“Some of them that.are still living, though, seem to be getting better,” he added. “Them that went to work in the coal mines got better, and them that didn’t died. The coal dust fights the silicosis.” Strangely enough, there may be some truth in Mr. Jones’ theory. Dr. Harless said some authorities hold that a substance like coal dust tends to retard the action of the silica particles on the lungs. Work on the big tunnel through Hawk’s Nest Mountain was started June 13, 1930. The mountain folk predicted that disaster would strike the tunnel because it was an unlucky day, but they went to work anyway. The tunnel was placed in service: a year ago. “It “shortcircuits” a five-mile loop made by turbulent New River. The water, rushing down through the tube, generates hydro-electric power for the electric furnaces of a big metallurgical plant making hard steel alloys. The tunnel is three and oneeighth miles long and its diameter is much larger than either New York’s Holland Tunnels or Pittsburgh’s Liberty Tubes. Total cost was about $16,000,000.
