Asked about ber delicious brown
gravies, she gave the following
recipe: Burn one-fourth cup of
granulated supar in a cheap tin
pan. When the sugar is hot and
tlack pour a cup of water over it.
The black liquor in small quantities
is a wonderful color for sauces and
"pale" gravies. Keep bottle of it
on hand. Lie a cheap pan, as
charred sugar is hard to remove
No other ingredient adds so much

sugar. Sugar is perfection at a con

THREE VETOES

of the possibility of reorganizing
the state governmental system.
Another Veto Safe
The house of representatives
Wednesday consented to the sus
taining of the governor's veto of
house bill 496. passed by the 1!27
session of the state legislature,
which would allow county treasur
ers to invest in county bonds, mu
nicipal bonds and school district
bends, only after Urtcps of Jack
son county assured the. house that
the Jackson county delegation Is
preparing a bill which will lift the
present restrictions on Investment
of the county funds.
The vetoed bill was turned over
to the committee on hanking nnd
corporation and Chairman Collier
of Klamath presented a resolution
that the veto bs sustained, on the
grounds that the bill would "let
down the bars too far" and give
the county treasurers more latl-
,up ,n v8imeni oi county lutuis
man was cousiuereo auvisaoie.
Arguments Against
Henderson of Multnomah ob
jected to the resolution on the
grounds that many of the counties
are breaking the present law
which allows county funds to he
invested only In first mortgages,
or to be placed In banks whero on
ly two or three per cent interest
can be earned, with the result that
the counties Buffer under the re-
gtrletiona. Andrews of Clacka-
n,as county slated that his own
county is violating the law because

the veto, granted that the present
restrictions were not entirely just
but stated that houso bill 496
would allow Investment not only
in warrants of indebtedness but
also In local district improvement

ways and means committee last
night and undertook to go through
the ponderous state budget.

tilting was done by Strayer, was
the first clash of the first commit
tee meeting of the session.
Strayer's sharp eyes fell upon a
recommended appropriation which
appeared to he in a lump sum
rather than in classifications. i
Don't you know, Mr. Kozer,"
f roared Strayer, "that the Oregon
i legislature for the Inst 10 years to
! my knowledge has been trying to
j get aay from this sort of thing,
and I can't see that you have any
j business to come thrusting It bo-
fore this committee again."
Kozer defended It as being In
'accord wlt.ii the Ideas of Governor
Patterson, and aald U was ap-
proved ny trie attorney general.
State officials, he detlured, would
I have more freedom in the use of
their funds and at the same time
could effect more economy.
"Why. an attempt was made In
1427," Strayer replied, "to get
