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:

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."-.

NIGHT HAWKS
GET WELCOME
Denver, Colo. (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
