uPPITT'S SIMPLIFIED GOLF

Among the United States senator's
who play golf, Henry F. Lippitt stands
alone, for he has reduced the game
TO its lowest mechanical terms and
plays 1t on a simplitied basis that is
unequaled, at least in Washington. His
theory is that for a nonprofessional
golfer each club used adds just that
much to the complications. He SAYS it
is a needless mental strain to have to
rummage through an outfit of dozen
clubs, trying to select the one that
applies to the situation at hand. II
he has to carry pair of calipers and
a transit and couple of assistants to
determine at what angle he should
swat dinky little gutta percha ball,
he would just as soon give up golf and
play parchesi or dominoes. So Lippitt
carries only three plain little clubs. He
owns no caddy bag and carries his
sticks himself. and all his caddy has
to do is to trot blithely along, point
ing out the quarry, like a hunting dog.

MAKING MEAT TENDER
How THE INEXPENSIVE cure
MAY DE EMPLOYED.
sounding Flour Into Them u Recon-
mended a. One Method hoppino
Fine u Another Excellent Way
Of Improving Them.

When the housekeeper attempts to
.educe her meat bin by using the less
expensive cuts she has two difficulties
20 contend wfth--toughness and lack
IL flavor. Pounding meat before cook
ng is an old.fashioned method OF max
ing 1t tender. but while this process
breaks down the tough tissues 1t also
releases the juices. driving them ont.
and with them the flavor. A good way
Ia to pound flour into the meat. This
catches and holds the juices.
A very palatable and economical
lish can be made from 4 round steak
rs 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 OF kettle, then add
water to cover II. Cover the vessel
tightly, SO that no steam can escape
and allow the meat to simmer very
gently for two hours. II In then ready
. serve. the gravy being already
,hickened by the -four beaten into the
steak. This gravy Ia delicious and far
superior to the kind made In the or.
binary way after the meat Is cooked.
Another very tasty dish Ii Spanish

steak weighing two pounds and about
an inch thick. Pound until thin, sea.
son with sat and cayenne pepper.
cover with layer OF bacon or salt
pork sliced. roll and tie with q cord
place In covered baking dish. Pour
around II half a cupful each OF milk
and water. Cook two hours. basting
occasionally.
Chopping meat Ii one OF the princi.
pal methods of making tough and In.
expensive meat tender. Chopped
meats have another advantage, In that
they may be cooked quickly and eco.
nomically. Chopped raw meat OF al
most any kind can be very quickly
made into savory dish by cooking
It with water or with water and milk
for short time. then thickening with
butter and -four. and adding different
seasoning as preferred, either pepper
land salt alone or onion juice. celery,
;;r tomato. Such dish may be made
to go further by serving 1t on slices
of toast or surrounded by q 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
broiler should be well creased. 9th
erwise 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 tho chopping has allowed the
Juice to escape and ire openings
should be sealed as quickly az posi-.
BILE.
Hamburg steak Is made from mex.
pensive bits of beef chopped. seasoned
little. and shaped into fiat cakes or
steaks. IL possible the chopping
should be done at home, so that the
meat may be cooked at once. Some
housekeepers think Hamburg steak Ia
improved by mixing the meat with q
little milk before cooking.
