peImonico Cream Roll Potatoes.

Here are two Delmonico potato
recipes: Pare potatoes and cut them
into bits the size of pea. Keep them
in cold water until all are ready. For
each scant pint of potatoes make a
pint of white sauce, seasoning with
onion juice or celery salt. Stir the po-
tatoes into the hot sauce, turn into g
well-buttered agate sauce pan and cook
in the oven until the potatoes are ten
der and the sauce is absorbed, with
the exception of just enough to hold
the bits of potatoes together. Fold one
part over the other as an omelet and
turn onto hot dish. The potatoes
should not brown above or below. If
necessary, set them on the CRATE and
cover the pan.

"a vase of blooms or branches

continued. "All too often q spray OF

"Mister, I'm hungry"
Martin Brill had just come out of the
retail salesroom of a great baking es-
tablishment. He had large, but light
package under his arm: two pounds of
crackers. He had a small parcel in
his coat pocket: ten cents worth of
common plebeian sausage.
A man with his coat collar turned
up and looking like the average per-
son out of work had hailed him. Meth
er had Martin an Overcoat.
"Why, I'm hungry, too," he replied
in his usual bright, happy way. II

BEST METHoDS.
Directions for Preparing CIeanss@@
Material That Has Much Virtuo~~o
Must Be Applied With Care /
and Thoroughness. F8

For the benefit Of those who have
ihe care of silver, the Office of hone
economics at Washington has made
thorough study of the electrolytfc
method OF cleaning and has published
the results of their work in United
States Department of Agriculture Bull
letin No. 449.
After discussing several types OF
commercial cleaners and giving the re
suits of various analyses, they suggest
the following method as being cheap
and satisfactory:
An enamel or agateware dish
should be partly filled with a cleaning
solution of one teaspoonful Of either
washing or baking soda and one tea
spoonful of common table salt to each
quart of water and placed directly
on the stove to boil. A sheet of alumni
nun or clean zinc should then be
dropped into the dish and tarnished
silver placed in contact with the metal.
1t is best that the silver be entirely
covered with the cleaning solution and
that the solution remain at the boiling
temperature. AS soon as the tarnish
has been removed the silver should be
removed, rinsed in clean water, and
wiped with soft cloth. Zinc may be
used in place of aluminium, but it be-
comes corroded and inactive in a much
shorter time.'
The electrolytic method cleans plated
or sterling silverware without loss of
metal, giving, however, satin finish
rather than a FURNISHED appearance,
and has the additional advantages of
being both clean and labor-saving.-

FORD STEEL
MUST PASS
HIGH TESTS

The Ford Motor company has rec
ognized along with other motor car
manufacturers that quality in the au-
tomobile chassis is determined by the
strength of the material of which il
is constructed and the simplicity of
design, according to Ed Rudolph, local
Fora distributor.
The correctness of Ford design is
demonstrated in the fact that since
1908 more than 100000 Ford cars
have been built on the unchanged
model T chassis.
For strength of material the most
important factor in a motor car is
the character of steel that goes into
its working parts.
In the case of Ford steel the mate
rial is first tested at its source. Steel
in the great rolling mills, still in bill
let form, must conform to very def
mite requirements if it is to become
a part of Ford cars. That is why,
nearly every day, a shipment of sar-
pies taFeE from each heat" at The
steel mills, arrives at the labo,at)Iy
in Detroit to be analysed by the staff
OF chemists and physicists.
The results determine the fate of
the steel. If it meets the requirements
in everv degree. the rolling mills are
instructed to proceed and the rolled
product goes to forging plants, sheet
r,ns ana elsewhere. From each If
these points in turn samples travel
to the home laboratory, and careful
checks are make of each bit of mate
rial furnished. Anything which taus
to meet the rigid specifications is not
allowed to go further.
II is by keeping the standard OF
CualitV for Ford cars that moro than
100000 are today in operation.

This Calls for Endurance

The principle by which it has minimized vibration
and thus increased power and heightened motor
endurance, makes it easily suitable for racing.
Experts who know the true quality of all cars select
Hudson Super-Sixes because they can rely upon
them to win their races.
The very qualities of endurance that are necessary
in racing are the qualities you should demand in
the car you buy. 1t guarantees safety, low maine
tenance cost and long service,
You can get Hudson Super-Six in any body type
you may desire. There are eight designs to choose
from. The carriage detail matches the high quality
of the chassis construction. Because there are now
$4,000 Hudson Super-Six owners, Hudson Super
Six costs considerable less than any with which
it is comparable.

prominence so nearly resembles stock production

of the notable racing cars and particularly those

It is not improbable, indeed that the

IF we need an example of how var

it in France, or any ofthe nations at

these are available for private pur-

Many people in the United States
