American | Housewives
Make Better Pies
Than in Old Days

Pies, as we know them, are sup
posed to be an especially American
institution. They have meat pies in
England and fruit tarts. but neither
are more than distant relations OF our
own beloved pie. We used to hear
much of the bad effect Of pie on the
American digestion, but housewives
have become better pastry cooks since
those days. Pastry is a perfectly
wholesome form of food if it is prop
erly made and. which is even more
important, properly baked. An oven
to bake pies should not be too hot. If
it is the pie crust will be Drowned on
top and soggy and unbaked underneath
and it is this uncooked pastry which
is unwbolesome. Enameledware pie
plates will be found very helpful in Sc
curing the proper baking for pies
Our grandmothers thought no pie
could be well baked except on an
earthenware plate and scorned the tin
pie plate when it was introduced. We
are fortunate enough to have in enam-
eledware a pie plate the porcelain sur
face of which gives us all the good
qualities of old earthenware and whose
metal foundation provides us with the
durability of the tin plate. Pies are
good, and well made pies are digestible.
It is up to the housewife to see that
they are both.

Soviets to Try Out

Reval, Ssthonia, June 1O.-{Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press.>-
Newspapers published in Moscow and
other soviet Russian cities give much
space now to accounts of new inven-
tons said to have been made under
auspices of the bolshevik government.
Among them are reported vastly i'm
proved wireless telephone apparatus
and, most recently, an "aerotrain." to
run on rails.
The "aero-train, to be tried out on
July 5. next, according to present
plans, is the invention of the engineer,
Makhonin. It's propulsive power will
be propellers, similar to those used on
airplanes, to be worked by two internal
combustion engines. The front part
of the train is to have tapering
shape, to gain greater speed through
decreased resistance to the air.
