THIS INDUSTRY IS INSURED FOR FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS

DON’T put all your eggs in one basket, might easily be the slogan of the pineapple industry in Hawaii, built up during the last twentyfive years on a single variety of pineapple, the Smo'oth Cayenne. This variety was selected by John Kidwell, a pioneer of the industry, as beihg the fattest and juiciest for canning purposes. >/ Pineapple, King’s Delicacy For many years this petted pineapple was raised by English horticul- % twists under glass, and served as a delicacy for only Kings’ and potentates’ consumption. Today, something like 200,000,000 cans a year of this pineapple are sent out from Hawaii for the dinner tables of the world! Putting all one’s eggs in one basket? It looks like it, since should anything happen to this incomparable variety the pineapple industry would presumably be destroyed. It has happened before to other soil products, since every product o. the soil has its insect enemy. Coffee growing was formerly a rich industry in Ceylon and Java. It was built up on a single variety of Arabian berry. The berry became ill, an unknown and apparently uncomb\‘able plant disease seized it, and the berry was destroyed. There were types of coffee immune to the disease, but they had not been bred to meet the requirements of commercial coffee. The East Indian coffee industry vanished like a whiff on the wind. One Hundred uousand Dollars Insurance against the pineapple industry vanishing in like manner costs hat industry just one hundred thoutnd dollars a year. The pineapple experiment station of e University of Hawaii is con-

A Patriotic Birthday Party aJ T 1 j T fdkL F i ¥ KW® ' i ft ' ■ , x -- - I i - 1

“Tr o give a patriotic party in February — the’ birth month of Washington and Lincoln — is a delighttui idea. But to make it novel is not>so easy. However, re» membering the original thirteen states, why not have a star party, using the stars as the motif for decoration and refreshments. The invitations, too, may bear a star or two in the corner. The guests, when they arrive, see the same decoration, for around the room are blue shields bearing thirteen red stars. Star-shaped paper shades hide the electric lights. Stars and History As each guest enters she is seated and given a piece or paper and a pencil: to each is assigned the name of some one famous in our history, such as Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Lartiyette. The name is written down, folded over, and the slips passed to the right. The next question to be answered is “When was he born?” Each person answers for his own hero. Then the papers are passed, another question an swered, and so on. The questions run something like this: “Who was his father? Where was his home? What was his main interest in life? Why is he especially noted? To what political party did he belong? Whom did he marry? How many children did he have? When did he die?” When the last question is answered the papers are read aloud and surprising careers divulged. Stars may belong in the sky but they are not always found there, announces the hostess. To prove her point she gives each guest a dinner "ork and leads her to a box of

stantly growing all sorts of types of pineapple from seedlings, from parts of other pineapples, front different varieties, in a never ending search to find a variety possibly better than the Smooth Cayenne, or to replace the Smooth Cayenne should anything happen to it. And here remedies for the Smooth Cayenne’s “diseases” have been evolved. The “yellows,” for instance, which was thought to be a form of disease, eradicated by feeding the pineapple iron, and the “wilt” overcome by plant selection! > Sometimes in the big canneries, that rare thing, a pineapple with seeds, is found. The Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Korean and Hawaiian girls who make up the “personnel,” guard it as though it were worth many millions of dollars. And indeed it may be. For, from one of its many seeds may possibly be grown that single, priceless new type which the pineapple planters of Hawaii are seeking 1 A Priceless Type This pineapnle is dispatched at once to the University in Hawaii for planting. Sometime in 1929 or 1930 the results will be known. For from this seedling will be grown several dozen plants entirely different from the parent fruit, and all different from each other. Maybe the priceless pineapple will be among them. But probably not. For if this seedring runs true to form, there will probably be just a few dozen more freak fruits of no particular value. Some of these seedlings are delicious to eat, because they contain twice as much natural fruit sugar as the Smooth Cayenne. ~Have you ever eaten one? If you have, you’ll be able to tell the usual fairy tale of this

sand in which are buried tiny paper stars. The guests are instructed to dig out as many as possible and carry them, on the fork, to the other side of the room. This is unexpectedly difficult to do, for the stars slip between the tines of the fork, one’s arm is joggled, or the stars blow off. Another pencil and paper game is played by giving the guests a series of names of famous statesmen and telling them to form as many new words as possible out of the letters of each name. For instance, out of George Washington, one can make Eton, hinge, shine, get. onto, and many others. After the words have been made, sentences are formed of them, the prize going to the composer of the most patriotic remark. To find partners when refreshment time arrives, the guests hunt for statesmen’s which have been cut in two and hidden around the room. Finders of matching pieces are, of course, partners. Star Refreshments When the refreshments are served, a pretty sight meets the eyes. In the middle of the table is a blue shield bearing the thirteen little stars; framing it is a band of ivy or ferns. Paper stars form place cards. Refreshments carry out the star idea and are in *e<| and white.

elusive tropical fruit, which makes, so you will say, the ordinary pineapples taste like potatoes. But when a tourist, lured by the tales of this mysterious fruit, asks you for one of them, you will probably have to sadly shake your head, and inform him that this marvelous pineapple is available only two or three weeks in the year, and now it is out of season! Plant Trials Ninety acres at the University of Hawaii experiment station are devoted to plant trials, the growing of seedlings and the study of new varieties brought to the islands by plant explorers. Steddy progress is being made in acquiring knowledge, but nature has not yet bestowed any dazzling prize in the shape of a new variety. Pineapple growers themselves are raising millions of plants every season in the field, for canning fruit. It may be that nature will prefer to introduce a valuable new strain among these millions of field plants, rather than in the wholly scientific acres of the Hawaii experiment station. Jlawaii on Guard Who can tell? Anyway Hawaii is on the lookout for anything which might destroy her magnificent variety of pineapple, the Smooth Cayenne, just as Java was on guard against the destruction of the “Cheribon,” a variety of cane sugar which was attacked by a disease which annihilated it. But in the latter case, scientific selection of seedlings had produced more satisfactory varieties immune to the disease, and the Java sugar industry was saved. So the fifty million dollar investment of the pineapple industry in Hawaii is protected through its one hundred thousand dollar policy, the annual cost of the experimental work at the University of Hawaii

on a nest of lettuce leaves. For each salad mix two tablespoons preserved ginger very fine, mix with four tablespoons crushed pineapple and four teaspoons ginger syrup. Heap the mixture on the pears and add mayonnaise. Over the salads sprinkle red stars cut out with a pastry tube from canned sliced beets. Novel Sandwiches , The shrimp sandwich filling is made by running one can of shrimps through the food chopper and adding two tablespoons butter, a few grains of clove and salt, one teaspoon anchovy paste, one teaspoon pepper, one teaspoon lemon juice and enough salad dressing to moisten. Spread the mixture on thinly sliced bread, cover with sliced cucumbers and another slice of buttered bread. Cut in star shapes. The cheese filling consists of three cups of cream cheese, three tablespoons horseradish, two tablespoons chopped pimientos, one-fourth teaspoon mustard, one-half teaspoon salt. Spread between slices of brown bread. To make the cherry sponge, soak four and one-half tablespoons gelatin in three-eighths cup water for five minutes. Drain the juice from three number 2 cans of pitted cherries — these come full of flavor and color in gold enamel lined cans — and bring it to the boiling point. Pour it over the gelatin, and, when it has dissolved, add the cherries. When the gelatin is beginning to thicken, fold in the stiffly beaten whites of six eggs. Pour into a star shaped mold, and serve at the table with whipped cream.

MRS. COOLIDGE’S FAVORITE SALAD

HAWAIIAN pineapple, the lusty youngster of the large and growing family of canned foods, is being used more and more in salads. Among those who recommend this delicate fruit for this purpose is Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, who proclaims a pineapple and cheese salad her favorite. With such a recommendation, the recipe, as reported by Floj-ence Stratton in “Favorite Recipes of Famous Women,” must', indeed, be good, and here it is, for your approval: “Place on a lettuce leaf a slice of Hawaiian pineapple; cover with salad dressing; over this press through a potato sieve cream cheese. Place a preserved cherry on top.” Mrs. Coolidge’s salad dressing contains six tablespoons of pineapple syrup, two level tablespoons of sugar, and butter the size of Fr—a walnut. Heat in a double boiler; add two beaten eggs and cook until it coats the spoon. When cold, add whipped cream. Other Salads Another salad named Yum Yum, has a recipe like this: heat two cups of crushed Hawaiian pineapple; add the juice of one lemon and a cup of sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Soak two tablespoons of gelatine in one-half cup cold water ten minutes. Add to hot mixture. When cool and beginning to set, add one cup grated American cheese and one-half pint cream beaten stiff. Mix thoroughly, put in mold, and leave in cold place until firm. Make a dressing by mixing two tablespoons each finely chopped celery ..nd green peppers, . one-half cup mayonnaise dressing and a few drops of onion juice. Remove salad from molds, cut in

the twenty-nine million ■ JLJ homes in the United States no t quite 50 per cent have any refrigeration; only about 20 per cent have year around refrigeration. So says the Department of Commerce. Then how is food preserved in homes without refrigeration? Why, by tin cans, to be sure. Canned foods provide the storage. Canned foods for any course and for any purpose stand ready on grocery and cupboard shelves in even greater number than could ever be ' kept in an ice-box. The staples are always on the shelf: corn, peas, spinach, tomatoes, peaches, pears, pineapples, salmon, sardines, shrimps, evaporated milk, pickles, jellies, soups. This list is invariably present. The Emergency Corner The wise housewife, however, keeps one part of her cupboard for foods to be used in emergencies such as when one’s husband comes home at six o’clock and announces with a delightful smile that two of his old friends are coming to dinner. Then what a relief it is to know that on the shelf are ready-made entrees which are as tempting as any prepared at home. For instance, if the guests come from the South, chicken curry can be served. Or maybe chop suey. or goulash, Hungarian style, would appeal to them. Or else, plain American foods such as beef a la mode, chicken a la king, or lobster Newburg might suit them better. That will dispose of the meat problem. For . vegetables, the list is inexhaustible, mne-mp from artichoke hearts to turnips. Soups, con-

slices, and serve on lettuce leaves with dressing. Pineapple Salad Espanol: Remove seeds from green peppers and put in boiling water for one minute, drain and dry. Mix three tablespoons cream or cottage cheese with three tablespoons of drained crushed Hawaiian pineapple, one-fourth teaspoon salt, few grains cayenne, one stuffed olive finely chopped, and one-half pimiento chopped. Pack into the green peppers, chill, and slice. Some Desserts A mousse that can serve as dessert, salad, or a combination of both contains mayonnaise. Soften one teaspoon gelatine in one tablespoon water and dissolve over boiling water. Thoroughly drain one cup crushed or grated Hawaiian pineapple, and add one-half cup diced oranges, one cup very thick mayonnaise, two cups whipped cream, and the dissolved gelatine. When mixed, pour into a mold, cover tightly, and pack in equal parts of ice and salt for four hours. Serve on lettuce with additional mayonnaise if desired. Pineapple tid-bits come all ready to use in just the sizes that one would cut sliced pineapple into for salads, so there is a real saving of time in their use. A pineapple and. chicken combination uses one cup drained pineapple tid-bits, two cups diced cooked chicken, threefourths cup diced celery, one-third cup mayonnaise dressing. These ingredients are mixed, and arranged in lettuce cups. About a cup of mayonnaise is poured over the salads. Salads Again For a sweet salad glazed pineapple, which is so much used as

somme, chowder, puree are there in abundance. And of course with cans of fruit, many of them in /old enamel lined cans which preserve perfectly the color and flavor, dessert is no problem. Or, if fruit is not wanted, canned plum pudding can be used. Recipes which are unusual and which come from the “canned” refrigerator are: Pep Supreme Peppy Sandwiches: Mix well together two tablespoons peanut butter, two tablespoons chopped pimiento, two tablespoons chopped sweet pickle, few grains salt, two tablespoons mayonnaise. Spread between thinly sliced and buttered bread. Cream of Corn Supreme: Simmer one can corn, one-half cup celery, one slice onion, and two cujis water together for twenty minutes. Rub through a sieve. Add to two cups thin white sauce and season highly. Just before serving add slightly beaten egg mixed with the cream, and heat in double boiler. Serve in a bouillon cup with a spoonful of whipped cream on top. Canned Cutlets Lobster Cutlets: Make a thick white sauce of two tablespoons butters four tablespoons flour, one cup milk, one-half teaspoon salt, oneeighth teaspoon pepper. Add one egg yolk and one teaspoonful lemon juice and two cans lobster. Let stand over night or until quite cool. Shape into cutlet shapes, dip in crumbs, beaten egg, and then crumbs again and fry in deep fat. Insert a piece of macaroni in the pointed ends to represent bone.

a confection is delicious and unusual. To glaze pineapple boil two cups sugar, one cup water and one-eighth teaspoon cream of tartar without stirring to the crack stage (3000 F.). Keep hot over hot watte while dripping the pineapple. Cut the pineapple in convenient sized wedges for serving and drain well—for several hours. Then dip a few at a time in the syrup and remove to oiled paper to dry. A salad can be made of one cup glazed pineapple, one-half cup quartered marshmallows, three-fourth cup pecans, and onehalf cup diced apples. Mix with mayonnaise and serve on lettuce. A New Salad To surprise the family with some new salad and one which they will like, there is this pineapple surprise: combine one and onehalf cakes cream cheese, two tablespoons cream, one-fourth teaspoon salt, dash paprika and pepper, three drops onion juice. Beat with fork until stiff and creamy. Clean ten celery stalks and cut five inches long; fill the cavity of each with some of the cream cheese mixture. Chill for two hours, then cut into one-half inch pieces. Combine pineapple tid-bits and stuffed celery and moisten with one-fourth cup of cooked Hawaiian pineapple dressing. Arrange on a bed of crisp lettuce. The cooked dressing recipe Is: beat four egg yolks, add one-eighth teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of powdered sugar, one cup of pineapple syrup. Cook in top of double boiler, stirring constantly until mixture begins to thicken and coats a silver spoon. Add one teaspoon lemon juice, blend well and remove from heat. Chill and add one cup of cream, beaten stiff.

Serve with tartare sauce. Golden Salad: Mix the followng ingredients together with enough mayonnaise to moisten slightly: two cups cubed cold pork roast, one-half cup crushed pineapple, onehalf cup white grapes, skinned and seeded, one-half cup chopped celery, pepper and salt. Line a salad bowl with lettuce and fill with the salad. Decorate with drops of mayonnaise sprinkled with paprika. Green and White Pea Croquettes: Boil and mash potatoes and season highly; use little milk or cream in mashing. While still warm, shape a tablespoon of the potatoes flat on the hand. Place on the potato a tablespoon of peas which have been drained and heated with butter and seasoning. Fold the edges of the potato circle in, covering the peas. Roll gently into the shape of a croquette. Cover with fine bread crumbs, and allow to cool. Dip the croquette in an egg beaten with two tablespoons water and seasoned; then roll the croquette in crumbs. Allow to dry for half an hour and then fry in deep fat. Apple Snow: Beat three egg whites until stiff and fold in twothirds cup of canned apple sauce. Add sugar to taste. Add a few grains of nutmeg and two teaspoons lemon juice. Pile lightly in glass dishes. Chill, and serve with a soft custard: beat three egg yolks slightly. Scald two cups milk and add. Add one-fourth cup sugar, oneeighth teaspoon salt and cook in double-boiler, stirring constantly until the custard coats the back of a cold spoon. Chill and add onehalf teaspoon vanilla.
