YOU'LL NEVER MISS TURKEY
WHILE PORK Is ON TABLE
BY Caroline Coe.
Turkey may be king to some folks
on Thanksgiving day, but more than
one holiday dinner table will be
graced by roast Of pork. that succu-
lent dish of which poets sing and
over which epicureans smacked their
lips long before the first Thanksgiv-
ing turkey was stuffed and basted.
Pork is considerably less expen-
sive than turkey, and that's recon-
mendation not to be despised in
these days Of high prices, but, aside
from economy, a roast of pork is a
dish fit even for so rare day as
Thanksgiving.
To prepare the roast, wipe the
pork, sprinkle with salt, pepper and
little ginger. Place on rack in
rooster or in dripping pan, dredge
top with little flour, turn a cup of
boiling water over meat and put pan
into very hot oven. Keep steady, hot
fire for twenty minutes. Lower heat
and roast the meat slowly, allowing
thirty minutes for each pound of
pork. The meat should be basted
every 20 minutes and turned often to
brown on all sides. Bake apples and
potatoes in the pan with the pork.
Make the gravy in the pan and allow
one tablespoonful of flour for each
cup of stock.
Blend flour with little cold water
or milk. When smooth turn slowly
into stock in pan. Stir constantly to
avoid Jumps. Boil at least five min
utes.
Stock used for gravy should be :
nearly free from grease.

RUINS OF CITY

Ruins of the 0lden Civilization of

The ruins Of ancient cities, rem.

how something stirs within them at
the touch of antique things. The av-
erage tourist seeking cea from
the daily grind, whether of the COL
lege lecture room or OF the constant
chase of the elusive dollar in trade
and traffic, who finds himself in some
strange city and learns that not far
oc are the weather beaten walls of an
ancient temple, shrine, or palace
whose history is a mystery and whose
builders are unknown, HES himself at
once to that place. He touches the
%crumbling stones, traces the %grotesque
figures and queer designs, and mar
wells that such things could have been
so many years before he came on
earth, perhaps even before the very
civilization of which he is a boastful
part came into existence.
