HOW TO LIVE CHElPLY'

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 10.--Ignorance
OF housewives Is responsible for much
OF the clamor against the high price
OF meat, say prominent delegates in
attendance at the convention of the
United Master Butchers of America,
which Is holding It's second days SEES.
sion in Pittsburg today. A majority of
women think that only the high-priced
meats are valuable as food and act ac-
cordingly, then blame the poor dealer
because of the amount of their bills.
Many OF the cheaper cuts, say the
butchers, are just as palatable and
nutritious as any. The despised chuck,
for instance, one~of the cheapest por-
tons of the beef, makes a most excel
lent dish when cooked slowly In
small amount OF water and either with
or without vegetables for seasoning.
1t should be remembered, say the
butchers, that II too much heat Is used
in stewing meat it renders the fibers
tougher. Another error of the average
cook, 1t is alleged, lies in overlooking
the meat until IL becomes shredded.
Skirt steak, it is said, sells for two
or three cents pound less than
others, but If properly cooked is fully
as good Proper cooking includes
scoring the steak well with a chopping
knife. Then dredge with -four and

ing water and permit it to simmer
slowly for two hours. A bit of onion
or carrot and little vinegar to soften
the fiber will add to the flavor of the
meat.
Don't forget, say the experts, that in
roasting meat it should be rapidly
scared over to retain the valuable
juices, the principal nutritive proper
ties, and then cooked slowly until done.
Usually fifteen minutes to the pound
is the proper time.

The automobile will play an impor-

maneuvers.
So widespread has been the interest
in highway Improvement work that
more than thirty states are now en-.
gagged in repairing and improving their
highways.
Wilmington, Del, is to have fac

that makes carriage bodies has en-
tered the automobile field.
Springfield, Mass, which was the
first city to use the automobile for
fire department. work, is still well in
the lead in the use of motor vehicles
for municipal purposes.
Agitation for universal light laws Is
noticeable in a number of states, espe-
cially in the Middle West New Jersey
and Massachusetts have them and pro
tests are seldom heard any more from

There are indications that the com
ing year will witness numerous i'm
provements in design and minor de-
tails in motor cars and commercial
trucks. Only few years ago the cost
of a car was regarded as prohibitive
except to the rich. Then the $1,000 car
arrived, succeeded by the $500, and
now the $3.50 vehicle Is announced.
The annual meeting of the Manufac-

A Note That Was Paid.

History is constantly repeating it.
self Once upon a time landlady in
Washington called on President An
drew Jackson and told of govern
ment clerk who owed her big bill for
board. In those days it was easy to
have access to the White House.
President Jackson listened to her
story and advised her to get promis-
sorry note from the clerk and put 1t In
bank. She replied:
"I've done that twice, general, and
he won't pay even then"
as that SOP" said the president in
surprise. Now you go and get his
note and bring it to me. l simply
want to see it, and I'm sure that the
clerk viii pay that note. Go and
bring it to me-"
The landlady did so, and soon return
ed with the promissory note. The
president turned 1t over and wrote
across the back of it his own indorse-
ment: "a. Jackson"
That note was paid at maturity

Waves In Solid Natal.

As illustrating the advances in metal
lurgy and engineering it has been
demonstrated that solid metals may
reveal by their structure the vibra-
lions to which they have been subject
ed. In explaining this phenomenon
experiments have been shown proving
that beautiful wave structure can be
impaired to the surface Of mercury
by the vibrations of a tuning fork, and
that even the surface Of solid lead
which had been subjected to similar
vibrations possesses structure re-
sembling that of a vibrating surface
of mercury. Mild steel has been de-
fined as "solid solution" Of iron and
carbon, free from cinders. Metallur-
gists have doubled the strength of steel
as it was known in its early days.
