IMPROBABLE FORTS TO
SURROUND NEW YORK.

New York, May 9.-New YORK Is to
be New Gibraltar.
Two mighty fortresses are to in.
close the worlds metropolis in 40
mile rings of impregnablity-
lar "deadlines" beyond which no
hostile fleet could venture.
One of these fortresses will be an
elaboration of the coast defense bat
teries now planted at Sandy Hook.
The other will be a new defensive
work at Rockaway Point, near Coney
Island.
Make City lnVincible.
The new fortress, in conjunction
with the Sandy Hook big guns, will
make New York invincible from land
as well as from sea.
For its great 1G-inch guns, capable
of sweeping any point within their
circle, will command the adjacent
territory as far north as High Bridge
and the New Jersey suburbs beyond
Newark.
And all the Jersey coast beyond
Asbury Park as far south as Bel
mar will be within range of one or
both Of New York's twin forts.
. Twenty miles will be the effec-
tive range of the titanic guns to
be mounted in these supcr-defenses.
No mobile armament of any ma
tion-no naval gun mounted on any
dreadnaught-can equal their carry
ing capacity.
Two entirely different types of
ammunition will be carried in the
gigantic underground storehouses
that will be hidden under these mani
moth forts.
Two Kinds of Shells.
There will be immense armor-
piercing shells for use against posi-
Bile naval attack; shells that will
crunch a foot of solid steel and re-
duce the most powerful battleships
to scrap iron.
And there will be high explosive
shells to beat off land attacks; shells
that will kill all within hundreds of
yards by the mere force of their
concussion when they explode.
Provision for this mightiest of
earth's fortresses is made in the
Notifications bill recently introduced
in the house of Representative Shir-
ley. This bill carries an appropria-
ton of 21,997,050 for preparedness.

A Helpful Hint.

Six busy houseksepers In fear of get
ting In rut have started domestic
science luncheon class.
Every other Monday at one O'Clock,
one member serves luncheon, each
member providing different course.
The hostess provides the main course
aud coffee, also the bou-bons, olives, or
jellies.
Each serves the course she has provid-
ed, and there Is . free discussion of
rules, preparation and serving.
Thus, not only q great deal of instruc,
ton 10 given, but also whole lot OF fun
and sociability results, as each course 10
kept secret and affords pleasant eur
prise to the other members.

On the Use OF Poultry.
In family of only two poultry is not
used very much as food because 1t is too
much meat to be cooked at once.
If there are facilities for keeping q
whole chicken, IL can be cooked as need
cd. The chickens We raise weigh any
where from seven to nine pounds dress
ed, and as there are only two of rs 1t
used to be serious difficulty to eat one
before 1t spoiled.
solved the problem by recognizing
the different cuts and serving them in
various ways. The legs, or drumsticks
as they are sometimes called, boil un-
til tender and then saute in butter until
brown. Since 1t 10 the flesh and not the
water that is to be used, 1t should be
plunged into boiling water and kept at
the boiling point for about ten minutes.
This causes the protein near the surface
to harden and form sort of coating
through which the juices of the interior
can not so readily pass.
The upper part of the legs and the
wings are served in the same way.
The breast is served in various ways.
One way is to cook it until tender and
then cut into small pieces and pour q
white sauce over ii. Another is to cut
the cooked meat fine aud make chick
en- jelly. also make salad of the breast.
This leaves the back and neck. These
are boiled and made into q vegetable
stew by adding diced beets, carrots, po-
tatoes and onions. Other vegetables
may also be used and rice or macaroni
may be added.
This gives great deal of variety in
serving one chicken. The chicken need
not be cooked all at once and other
meats may be served, as usual, with the
poultry to add variety.
Following are my recipes for chicken
jelly and chicken salads:
CHICKEN JELLY
chicken breast
/ pint stock in which breast was
cooked
Package gelatin
Dissolve the gelatin in Q little cold
water and add to hot stock. Add breast
which has been cut up fine. Season
we'll and put in mold to harden.
CHICKEN SALAD
Allow about equal parts of cold, boil
ed breast meat, cut in small cubes, and
celery cut in thin slices. Blend with .
little mayonnaise dressing. Serve on
lettuce leaves.
