Political Cooks

Who should be a better cook than a politician? He or she, gets his living on delicacies compounded from the melting pot. But on the other hand who would expect a politician to write a cook book? He, or she, gets his living by keeping his recipes to himself.

Nevertheless 55 female members of the Democratic National Committee headed by Miss Elizabeth Marbury will compile a Convention Cook Book. Each of the women will contribute a recipe of a dish typical of her state or territory. The book will be taken into the Convention at Madison Square Garden "as an effective answer to the question so often raised by men, whether women can be both politicians and housewives."
