Congressman Carter has sent a
fine donation of government books
for the library. Among them are
many books that will be of inesti-

also sent an excellent large map Of

hung in a prominent place upon the

Thursday State Superintendent
Wilson gave the entire day to In
specting the vocational departments
of A. H. S. He spent three hours
with Prof. Woodruff and the teacher 3
training class, and at the close Of
this rigid examination, expressed
himself as more than pleased with
the thoroughness of the work done
in this department. He made spec
ial mention of the work of Elyia
Pace, a member of this years class
stating that he would not hesitate
to recommend her, at this stage of
her preparation, to any board OF edu-
cation in the state. At noon, Miss
McPheeters and the domestic econ
omy classes served a delicious and
wholesome luncheon to Supt. Wilson
Supt. Thurston, Supt Richards, Prin-
cipal Woodruff, and the board of edu-
cation. With this department also
Supt. Wilson was well pleased. He
feels it is second to none in the
state, in the opportunity it offers TO
the young ladies of the community to
prepare themselves to be good home
makers,-th noblest of all the voca-
tiOns open to woman. He addressed
the class after the luncheon, express
ing his delight and appreciation with
their work, and reminded the young
ladies', in an aside, that making "A
practical use of the knowledge gained
in this department of A. II. S. would
keep them forever strangers to the
divorce court. Supt. Wilson was so
favorably impressed with the work
of Miss McPheeters in this depart
ment that he slyly inquired as to
whether she were under a five-year
contract. He complimented Ardmore
on the equipment of this depart
ment, and also upon that of our
entire building. Notwithstanding this
favorable report, A. II. S. is not sat
isfied with present attainments, but
will push on forward and upward.

eastern lnterscholastic Meet in Du-
rant. Already A. H. S. is rejoicing
over a great victory. Professor Low
enstein returned Friday, bearing the
cup won by our orchestra. We have
long been justly proud of our orches-
ira. and were not surprised that it
should have gained this worthy tro-
ply. Roland Kennedy won the gold
medal in the oratorical contest. Re
ports of the vocal, instrumental and
athletic contests have not yet reach

of other victories, and Monday will
be a day of great rejoicing in A. II. 5.

is to pound flour into the meat. This
catches and holds the juices.
A very palatable and economical
dish can be made from round steak
as follows: Pound -four into both sides
of the steak, as much as the meat will
take up. Fry in drippings or other
fat in an ordinary pan or kettle, then
add water to cover it. Cover the yes
sci tightly, so that no steam can es-
cape and allow the meat to simmer
very gently for two hours. 1t is then
ready to serve, the gravy being al
ready thickened by the flour beaten in
to the steak This gravy is delicious
and far superior to the kind made IN
the ordinary way after the meat is
cooked.
Another very tasty dish is Spanish
beefsteak. Take piece Of round
steak weighing two pounds and about
an inch thick. Pound until thin, sea
son with salt and cayenne pepper,
cover with layer of bacon or salt
pork sliced, roll and tie with cord.
Place in a covered baking dish. Pour
around it half cupful each of milk
and water. Cook two hours, basting
occasionally.
Chopping meat is one of the prin-
cipal methods of making tough and in
expensive meat tender. Chopped meats
have another advantage, in that they
may be cooked quickly and econom-
ically. Chopped raw meat of almost
any kind can be very quickly made
into savory dish by cooking ii with
water or with water and milk for a
short time. then thickening with but
ter and flour, and adding different sea-
soning as preferred, either pepper and
salt alone or onion juice, celery, or to-
mato. Such dish may be made to
go further by serving it on slices of
toast or surrounded by wall of rice
or macaroni.
In broiling chopped meat success
fully the point is to scar the surface
very quickly so that the juices may
be kept in, and then to allow the heat
TO penetrate to the inside until the
whole mass is cooked TO the taste of
the family. To begin with, the broil-
or should be well-greased. Otherwise
the cakes or balls may be broken
when removing them from the broiler
! They should be heated on both sides
more quickly than a steak, because
the chopping has allowed the juice to
escape and the openings should be
scaled as quickly as possible.
Hamburg steak is made from mex
pensive bits of beef chopped, seasoned
little, and shaped into fiat cakes or
steaks. IF possible the choppinp
should be done at home, so that the
meat may be cooked at once. Some
housekeepers think Hamburg steak is

teen minutes and put into the cooker
for three hours or longer. Thicken
the gravy and serve with baking pow
der biscuits, noodles, dumplings, rice
or potatoes.
This stew may be varied by using
different kinds of meat and vegeta-
bles. A combination Of lamb and
green beans is very good. Veal stew
with more tomato substitutes for the
water is appetitizing as well as mex
pensive.
Fresh pork and sauerkraut are
splendid cooked in fireless cooker,
as they need long cooking and there
is a strong objection to cooking sauer-
kraut in the open.
Vegetables. Cabbage, carrots,
beets, string, dried and fresh beans,
celery, onions, rice, hominy, pumpkin,
are the best vegetables to cook in this
manner. Prepare as for ordinary
cooking, boil few minutes and then
place in cooker. Most of these vege-
tables could not possibly be cooked
too long, and the tendency is to save
fuel and cook them too short time.

Making Meat Tender

When the housekeeper attempts to
reduce her meat bill by using the less
expensive cuts she has two difficulties
to contend with-toughness and lack
of flavor. Pounding meat before cook
ing is an old-fashioned method of max
ing it tender, but while this process
breaks down the tough tissues it also
releases the juices, driving them out,
and with them the flavor A good way

Senator Lodge, ranking Republican

reference to the Mexican situation.
He declined to comment upon the Car

Chairman Stone refused to comment
and communicated with the state de-

Senator Gallinger, Republican lead

uation in such condition that congress
should be consulted on the future
course.
Secretary Lansing took the view
that there was absolutely nothing for
him to discuss He said he had yet re-
ceived no note or communication
from General Carranza and therefore
had nothing to comment upon. What
he would do after seeing General Car
ranza's ambassador later today, Mr..
Lansing declined to indicate. After a
conference with Secretary Lansing,
Chairman Flood of the house foreign
affairs committee said he saw no
necessity for congressional action as
