portation-says This Country Must

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.--Within a year
fast aerial express and passenger lines,
connecting all parts of the United
States, will be an accomplished fact,
according to prediction made yester-
day by Glenn l.. Martin of the Glenn
L. Martin company, inventor of one of
the many flying machines developed
during the war. In the next three years,
Mr.. Martin believes a system of COM
mercial transport will be developed
which will be cheaper than other modes
now in use.
1.-The important future of aircraft, -
said Mr.. Martin, is the wonderful
commercial application in making ae-
| cessible by aircraft rich outlying dis
| tricts tributary to important industrial
and business centres. Disastrous de-
laws, such as have been encountered on
the railroads, will be ohviated, and the

IN PLANNING the present weeks
menus where two children of school
age (nine and twelve) are to be
catered for, the midday luncheon must
be of substantial character, for they
nearly always return for the noon meal
with hearty appetites.
Dreamed soups, eggs, good salad with
hot cocoa or some simple dish made from
leftovers are all good suggestions for
luncheons, but the caterer must remem-
Der that fried foods should be barred
except on very rare occasions, and that
simple buildings, junket and fruits
should be selected for the dessert in the
place of pastry.
One quart of milk is still allowed for
the younger child daily, and a pint for
the tweve-year- old, as the elder is prob
ably eating most of the simple dishes in
the menus and in larger quantities than
the younger child.
In making the mutton broth for
Thursdays luncheon four pounds Of
the "scrag" of mutton is purchased on
Wednesday and the meat and bones
cooked with cold water, vegetables and
seasonings until the meat is very ten
der. Then remove the mutton and set
aside to use as the basis for the shep-
herds pie the following day, while the
broth is also placed in a cold place, so
that the fat may form on top and be re-
moved before relocating for service.
Cooked in this way, both the luncheon
and dinner (the main courses) need not
cost more than As cents and the meat
cooked with the vegetables will have a
far better flavor than if cooked alone.
Only fish, oysters, mutton, beef and
lamb are used; as the steak and chops
served for Saturdays and Sundays din
ners are among the most expensive cuts.
careful shopping will be required to keep
the budget within the SIG. Five chops
are allowed, with two for 'the man of
