pieces of celery from the stalks that .
were served with the turkey dinner.
There may ho raisins or dates or figs,

The turkey will make its first re
appearance, no doubt, in Cold slices.
But the possibilities after that are ,
also Interesting. The meat can be
picked off the bones in mall pieces
and made into a most inviting scallop
in this way. Mix the im-at with tutt
ing and moisten With gravy or with a 1
broth made from the bones and com
bined with a little stewed celery. But

it with buttered bread crumbs, then
put in the oven to heat through .and

Then there i. tirluy ri/.otto. made

meat and set it .aside; then stew the
bones in enough water to make about
a quart of broth, Tn a large skillet
cofk a minced onion foi a few minu
tes in butter or turkey fat if you have
it. Add the broth and any left-over
gravy that will furnish turkey flavor,
and when this lipoid boils up rapidly,
sprinkle in slowly &-1 cup of rice.
Cover the skillet, simmer tlie rice for
about 25 minutes, or until the grains

flnvor of tho turkey in one of the less |
usual ways. For this combine small |
pieces of tu r # ey meat with cooked j
shredded carrots, in a sauce m.ude ;
witii turkey broth, thickened slightly
with flour, and seasoned with curry
powder and a little onion This mix
ture may be served on u platter with
a ring of rice. The dish may be va
ried by substituting grated fresh co
coamit for the carrots, or sprinkling
the mixture with coconut.
Other good turkey dishes are
creamed turkey under a crust of
mashed potatoes, like shepherd's pie;
turkey chop suey; turkey croquettes;
and turkey pie or turnovers, l’or the j
pastry use a very licit biscuit dough 1
and if there is not quite enough lilt
key, add some cooked celery 10 the
filling-.
Then of course there is turkey soup
- made from the bones plus any lasi j
scraps of meat, and cooked witii I
tbjoodles, or macaroni, and perhaps j
with tomatoes, carrots, onions, okra
—any or all of these.
The left-over vegetables come in j
nicely wlicti cold turkey is served—;

served pi pi nhut. Sweet potatoc ; may !
he scalloped witii apples to add to 1
l lie <;. ea nice itish
in any ease. If there is left-over
celery, it makes a good stew with to-;
ma toes, or with carrots, and thus fur- {
nishes a third item in a very good
dinner of Christmas left-overs. A cas
serole of mixed vegetables, creamed
and backed with bread crumbs over
the top is another good way to use i
vegetable left-overs too small in quan
tity to serve separately.
The fruits and nuts that may be j
on hand are good in a dozen different •
kinds of salads or desserts. Nuts with
diced apples make a Waldorf salad or
nut kernels may be tucked into dates!
or prunes and served with n hall of j
cream cheese on crisp lettuce. Or!
nuts, dates and figs may he ground I
up together and made into a Ball to)

on a lettuce leaf often with cream !
cheese.
Then toi calces on hand after
Christmas day! Fruit cake, of course, i
needs only to be served for itself
alone as long as it lasts—which can j
be a long time because it is moist am!
keeps well if put away in a tight con-j
tamer. But other cakes dry out quick j
iy. and one way to use them is to j
serve a piece with a. slice of j
peach or. top and a sirup poured over j
the whole. Or with some other sauce'
—butterscotch, chocolate, foamy, tutti

i feet of the elections on business, m ;
! studying this subject recently, T dis
covered that during the past 1C elec- '
tion years there have been seven
| pick-ups. seven declines and two no
i changes. This explodes the general <
theory that business is .hound to he
had in an election year. It is foolish
to he doubtful about 1936 —corning as ,
it does in a vigorous recovery period.
Naturally political maneuvers will he
irritating and upsetting at times. Put,
as I have pointed out repeatedly, po- ,
lilienl campaigns do not make and j
unmake basic conditions; rather ft is ‘
basic conditions which make and un-j
make the campaigns.
This campaign will he a hitter one.
- Bolitieal propaganda and election;
oratory will monopolize the headlines;
from May to November. If the ballot- j
ting were to take place today, there:'
would he no doubt that Mr. Roo e- !
volt would he re-elected. But as the!
j months tick away, tlie President will :
i continue to lose strength, particularly | 1
! in the industrial areas. Nevertheless,!
! I question if the rising tide of opposi
tion to the New I)o.*i| will he strong ,
enough by November to engulf tho I
I President and rob him of his personal
• populaiity. Barring unforeseen events j
t the ehanee.s are that the administra- |
; lion will do nothing upsetting to !
; business between now and election.
Politics In Saddle (
! The final session of the present, j
! Congress begins on January 3 and j (
! will probably last five or six months. ,
It will he neither ;l reform nor a re- j
eovery session, hut rather a re-elec-! 1
ti« li session. Politics will completely
Mile its decisions. W hile it. will not be |
i a "rubber stamp" Congress, party I ,
! harmony will he stressed and thel
I President will hold the whip-hand on I
the major issue-. As the program *
! lines up now. tho most important ‘
I hills are the veterans bonus and the ; *
I neutrality law. With the members j
I lasting their eyes nervotsly toward- 1
| the eieotions. it looks as thongh tho 1
| vet tans can quickly lobby through a '
j cash payment, or the equivalent, even 1
i over a presidential veto.
A neutrality hill, prohibiting the ex- 1
l ort of munitions and saddling heavy 1
taxes on war profits, will he passed. *
The Townsend movement is gaining (
strength daily, hut what it can ac- : 1
eomplish at Washington this year is - 1
a question mark. Congress may steal j ‘
s- ruc of the Townsendites' thunder by l c
upping the p*r capita payments un-,' :
dei the new Social Security Act. If
the Supreme Court okays the Guffey
eon 1 act, similar measures covering 1
other industries may he passed. Fun-' v
da men tally, this will be a typical elec- : , s
tinn-year Congress with plenty of j J
bombast and little constructive action, j f
Spending Peak Passed?
The real fight will come on the' *
spending) issue. Mr. Roosevelt realizes! <r
that his fiscal record as President! :
makes his 1932 campaign speeches oti ' *
“economy at Washington" sound silly,! '
• so he will restrain Congress as much * 1
as he can. It looks as though the ! !
peak of the money-scattering wave '
had passed for the time being, but. j . ]

the budget is far from being balajic- j
ed. There will,be at least a .$2,000,000,- j
0(>(i spread between income and ex
penses in the fiscal year ending June
30. 1957. Because of the elections,
there is little to fear from heavy new
taxes this year unless the Supreme
Court throws the AAA processing,
levies into the ash-can along with the
NUA codes. In that event substitute
excises might he enacted.
Regardless of what the court de-j
cidos on this vital corner-stone of the
New Deal, some farm prices are. like-l
ly to hack off during 1936. I have I
in mind hogs and their by-products.
The cycle of livestock production is
once again upward and quotations in
this particular group will probably,
soften during the year. The same
comments apply to the dairy industry j
and to field crops; although, with the
weather such an unknown tnetor, ii
is poor policy t,» make any dogmatic j
forecasts at. this season. As for cot
ton, 1 believe wo are due to recap*
ture a good portion of the exports,
tost during 1934 and IMo, so that j
prospects favor moderately higher
priced for this vital southern crop.
Higher Wholesale Trices
Industrial commodity /dices should ;
re.-time the rising trend which was in
terrupted when the NRA began to [
crack up. They will he sufficiently,
inflated to boost the Department of
Labor- wholesale price index between :
five and ten per cent. Sharp advances !
from now on depend to a largh ex
tent upon tlie type of business re-j
vival which we. experience. Continua-1
lion of the normal, healthy revival;
which we are now enjoying would
bring about, only moderate mark-ups.
Jf. on the other hand, wo should go
on another spending jamboree and
credit inflation should get under full
si earn, prices would mount, rapidly.
Tlie latter is now unlikely, for the.
New Dealers will do all they can to
prevent any sudden price rise before
election-time.
This should he goo:! <ws to those
consumers who have icit Hie pinch
of slowly rising living costs. Right,
now food prices arc close to the high
est. level in five and a half years, hut
they are nearing their peak for the
time l cing: Next December the aver
age household r's running expenses
will total five per cent larger than
today, biu his food bills are unlikely
to he any higher than right now—
they may even he less. The rise will
probably come in clothing (five per |
cent), rent (eight per cent), and fur
nishings (five per cent). Monthly elec
tricity and gas statements will he ■
slightly lower, but fuel hills (coal,
coke, and oil) will he more burden
some.
"Help Wanted"
I have already given my opinion on
the outlook for the heavy industries
where unemployment lias. beer, po
severe. With these businesses getting
hack on their feet, the number of peo
ple returning to work will he one of
tlie highlights later on in the year.
Sharp gains in demand for durable
goods during recent months is a valid '
reason for not exploiting too big a
percentage rise in employment early
in tho New* Year. However, as volume
picks up in these lines, activity will
he stimulated in hundreds of other
industries. The concrete- result will he
more jobs, fatter pay envelopes, and
higher wage rates by next December.
The news in 102(3 will probably
headline more strikes than during the
period just closed. However, lacking
any stiff increase in living costs, and
no real shortage of unskilled labor
an yet, I have no fears of prolonged
tio-ups in any major industry next
year. Bv next Chrkdmas, Industrial
employment and factory payrolls
should stand at a new peak for the !
recovery period—roughly lo per cent
above tho 1030 level. One featurcScf
the corning twelve months from a
labor standpoint will be the demand
lVr. and premiums commanded by.
skilled workers. All factors point in
marked improvement, in purchasing
power in industrial areas.
Further Farm Recovery
Buying power in farm sections will
also]) e higher—probably from five
to fifteen per Cent. No matter what
the Supreme. Court may decide on
the AAA, benefit payments to farm
ers will continue at least until the
snow flies. With more acreage plant
ed and a fourth year of drought un
likely, crops should be better. Lar
ger harvests, multiplied by approxi
mately tlie same prices, equal larger
total income. Since' the chst of the
products which the farmer must buy
will not. ,be much higher, his
in 1936 should continue the upward
tendency which started several years
ago. Farmers have now greatly re
duced their debts, so t.lie.ir increased
income will moan even more money
for new purchases!
Merchants face the best trade out
look in five years. The combination
of increased farm income, larger fac
tory payrolls, and greater dividend
payments should boost sales in most
lines between eight and 12 per cent,
above the 1933 average. Because
wholesale prices are not slated for
any sharp advance, retail price tags.
Which arc now slightly above a year
ago, will show no startling mark-ups
during 1930. Instalment buying, aid
ed by lower carrying charges, will
be very brisk. Quality goods will
move better than they have in re
cent years. One of the bright spots
of the recent holiday season was the
good call for luxury merchandise and
this trend will he even more notice
able next year. , *
A Selling Year
If ever there was a time to get be
hind sales campaigns and drive them
ahead, it is how. Sales managers and
salesmen alike can expect fine re
wards next year, for people are in a
buying mood. I advise fixing sales
quotas 10 per cent as a minimum
above the 1933 level. In sorrie lines
and territories, calculations should he
scaled upward even more because
selling will be very profitable in 1936.
Linage totals will continue the rise
which began in 1983, and advertising
managers should figure on at least
a 10 per cent gain over the 1935 level.
The best gains will he shown in the
rural areas during t.he early months.
Farm region# appear to me a
bc c t selling territories. They have
been the moat, favorable sales arena
| for the past eighteen months. How
ever, urban centers at'a due for a
come-back and they may have the
edge by next December. Tho best ad
vice J caji fclvfe is to spread your ad
vertising risk' geographically, keep-
ins - in mind that the Pacific Coast,|
the Rocky Mountain. the Middle-1
western, and the South States will •
give you the best return as the yearj
opens. Most important of all. be sure
that your selling methods are in step;
with the times. New ideas. fresh
copy, attractive displays—and de-j
livery of the goods—decide whether
or not you will maintain your trade. ]
position and whether the profits of
your company will keep pace with
the general improvement in earnings.!
Hull Market Not Over
The hug' increase in industrial pro* J
fits and the steady advance in di
vidend payments have been very
much in the 1035 spotlight. Tint same
will be true in coming months. As a
rough estimate. I should say that [un
fits would swell by .about ‘25 per cent.
Thai i . the p inoip ti reason why I
am not worried over ttie sharp list;
in prices since last March. My basic
position on stock.', f- that a hull mar
ket began in July, 1932. and that the
long-pull upward swing' has not yet
culminated. Despite any temporary
unset (lenient, the trend next year will
be upward. As to the extent of the
rise, it is impossL; le to make a d•-
finite forecast, although 1 would be
surprised if it were less than ten per
cent.
Within this broad pattern ther • are
a. number of indussries whose per
centage gains will be hetfer-1 ban-av
erage from here on. Those groups
connected with the heavy indu tries,
as distinguished from those doing a
consumers’ business, look best to me.
Building companies will reflect the
big improvement in construct ion ac
tivity. They will stimulate many other
industries, particularly raw and fab
ricated metals such as the coppers
and steel. Farm tool, industrial ma
chinery,. and office equipment con
cerns face another year of recovery.
Electrical equipment makers anti
cipate a better demand for their pro
fitable heavy items. Automobile pro
duction will easily top this year’s out
put of 1,135,000 cars, lifting acces
sory business along with it.
I'tilifies and Knits
Other groups do not have nit ; such
an optimistic outlook, although only
few lines will show losses. Mail order
and chemical earnings will he satis
factory. The railroads will welcome
heavier crop and durable goods ton
nage but higher operating costs will
prevent satisfactory earnings. Dairy,
foods, grocery chains, meat packing
coal, and textiles will enjoy only mod
erate gains. On the other hand, the
outlook for paper, oil. and depart
ment store groups is promising. De
spite political uncertainties, the pow
er industries has a great future.
Taken as a. whole, the stock outlook
by industries is fundamentally sound.

; of the trouble has been a. mad desire

cant. It marks the first real move,
toward tra.de restoration in a. decade.
1 believe ii will aid the business of
both nations to a marked degree next
year. In fact, I look for an increase
