THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1938 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON 9 EGGING YOU ON WITH OMELETS ' One of the chief complaints of the American traveler In foreign countries Is on the complete absence of eggs, as such. It is possible to get dishes with eggs in them, yes. But rarely do you encounter the good old Yankee combination of ham and eggs, eggs and bacon, or just plain eggs. We eat millions of 'ein in fact, it would keep one healthy, active hen busy most of the days in the year to supply the 22.3 dozen eggs that Mr. Average American eats annually. The country is fussy about its eggs, too. In New York, the de mand Is for white eggs; In and around Boston, the natives won't eat- anything but brown ones. (Seems fair enough.) Now we hear, eggs are being trademarked. Amer ica's passion for branded goods has finally invaded the barnyard. Eggs arc being rubber stamped with the name of a certain poultry feed, to indicate that the hen's diet has been strictly up to scratch. But "eggs is eggs" and most of us like them both plain and fancy. If you want to vary the breakfast theme song once in a while, try Om elet Royale it's a thrifty four-egg omelet that feeds six people with man-sized appetites: OMELET ROYALE . 4 egos cup hot milk 12 butter cmciters, rolled fins 4 tablespoons butter salt and pepper 1 cup hot creamed chicken 1 finely minced green pepper Separate eggs and beat yolks un til lemon-colored.

Beat egg whites until stiff and fold Into the yolk mixture. Melt remaining butter in heavy frying pan and pour the ome let into It. Couk, covered, over very low flame until barely set. When of ' custard consistency, spread with chicken and green pepper, and fold one-half of the omelet over the oth er half. Transfer to a hot platter and serve at once. And now we present Ham and Eg&s au Gratln a dish that gets more than one curtain-call.

Says Rum Runners Await Prohi Repeal Philadelphia (IP) That rum run ners, anticipating the repeal of pro hibition with an attendant decrease in the cost of handling liquor, have been caching boatloads of smuggled rum along the Jersey coasts was In dicated here by Federal agents. The price of smuggled liquor to the consumer is reported to be about $25 a case, and the cost to the rum runner for shipping, truck ing and incidentals is approximate ly $13.50 a cose, leaving the smug gler a profit of $11.50 If all goes well. Since a case of liquor can be bought in St. Pierre de Miquclon for as low as $5 a case, and the heavy cost of smuggling will be eliminated by a repeal of- the pro hibition laws, rum runners will be able to make a much larger profit by simply storing a large supply and "sitting pretty." Federal agents said. RAISES GERANIUMS Pontiac. 111. (IP) George Mann has found the perfect method for culture of geranium plants. Each fall he hangs the plant, which he purchased four years ago, upside down in the basement to dry. In the spring he re-plants it in rich soil, feeds it plenty of water, and cares for It tenderly. This spring the plant had 90 blooms. MENU CONTAINS CHEAP DISHES It's a great mistake. to economize on food so hard that your family is undernourished. But when you can serve six people a dinner like the followinit for only $1.5025 cents per person it's well worth doing and eating. Try It out yourceu, in your own neighborhood, and see if these price; are not approximately right. They may vary a few cents in some localities, but they give a fairly ac curate average for the whole coun try. Here's the menu and prices: Iced Tomato and Clam Juice ISO Broiled Lamb Chops with Fried Bananas 52c Buttered Lima Beans 19c Whole Wheat Bread and Butter iOc Fruit Salad 43c Cheese Crackers 5c Iced Tea 6c Here the recipes for two of the dishes which may be new to you: ICE TOMATO AND CLAM JUICE Chill well the contents of a 15- ounce can of tomato juice, two thirds cud bottled clam juice, salt, pepper and a few drops of tabasco sauce, serve over cracked ice. FRUIT SALAD Lav a slice of canned pineapple on each of six leaves of lettuce. Feel two fresh pears, cut in halves, and remove cores. Then slice them lengthwise in thin slices and swirl around the center hole of the pine apple, flower-fashion. Stone twelve stewed prunes and stuff them with one package cream cheese mixed with two tablespoons mayonnaise. Lay two on each salad. Dress with one-half cup French dressing. METHODS FOR DANCES DIFFER New York (LP) There are just two ways of getting ahead in the show . business. These divergent methods are best exemplified by MUdred Webb and "Baby" Volk, members of the chorus of "Take a Chance, the musical film being filmed on Long Island. Mildred, dark and charming Ok lahoma girl, is the cleverest dancer in the chorus. "Baby" (no one except the stu dio cashier knows her real name) is just a Broadway "hoofer" and not a very good one at that. Mildred works hard, frowning slightly as she watches Dance Di rector Bobby Connolly go through a new routine and, as a result oi her concentration, she is able to duplicate and even Improve on his steps at the first y. Babv wouldn't think oi frowning. It might spoil her fragile blonde beauty. She saves her face. Mildred practices during rest per iods in order that she may be let ter perfect. Her rival sneaks away for a nap at every opportunity and usually cant be located. when uonnony calls for the girls to line up. She needs her rest. Moral '(as expounded by Connol ly): "Both of those girls will go far. Their technique is different, but at least It's not Indifferent, as Is the case with so many members of the chorus."-.

(IP) The western night hawks were welcome vacation lsts in Denver and other commun ities along the fringe of the Rocky Mountains in August and September. The short visit of these expert and graceful aviators was received es pecially well this year because of the unusual annoyance caused by in sects. So swift and daring are these birds which are closely related to the whip-poor-wills they can pluck insects out of the air and none Is too fast for them. The western night hawks spends the early part of the summer, ac cording to Robert J. Mledrach, bird expert of the Colorado museum of natural history, on the prairie where it hatches its eggs without benefit of nests. Sometimes they hatch them on the flat root of a high building in Denver. After a short sojourn the bird heads southward, in about mid-September, feeding as it goes on aerial insects. The birds are (tray, with white bands under the wings. They are noticeable by their graceful and swut flight. GREEN PEAS PELLBRA CURE Everyone knows that peas are mighty good to eat, but it took the United States Public Health Service to find out that they are a good pre ventive of pellagra. Since fresh green peas were not available tor the length of time required for the hu man test which the Service made of this, the canned product was used, and here is the test's summary and conclusion: "Canned green peas supply the pellagra-preventive factor, and may be found a highly practical and con venient source of this essential In the pellagrous sections during the spring months when pellagra-pre ventive supplements (to the diet) are scarcest," Since pellagra occurs principally 1933 Revelry About On Par With 1733 Hartford.
