COOKING UNDER PRESSURE.
Time Required fer Various Meat Cuts

Time Required fer Various Meat Cuts
by Such Method.
How long and at how many pounds
pressure should various meats be cooked
in the pressure cooker?
According to the Office of home eco
Monies of the United States department
of agriculture. this question is not easily
answered, for many factors influence
the time of cooking. Among these are
the weight, shape and size of the piece
TO be cooked, the amount of bone it
contains. and, most important of all,
whether it is old and tough or young
and tender.
In general, n large. thick piece of meat
which is rather tough should be cooked
about fifteen minutes to the pound at
fifteen to twenty pounds pressure One
of the more tender cuts. however, such
as a leg Of lamb, would require org ten
minutes to the pound at a pressure of
fifteen to twenty pounds. When meat is
cut into small pieces, as for a stew, it
does not make any difference in the
time of cooking whether the amount of
meat is two pounds, or seven pounds
Az fifteen to twenty pounds pressure.

the toughness of the meat. viii be long

MUNICIPAL MOVIES
ARE PROFITABLE
Norwegian Cities Make Large Sums to
Promote Cultural Purposes
at Home

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, June 90
For several years municipal govern
ments of a number of Norwegian cities
have owned and operated their motion
picture theatres. When they were taken
over by the municipalities the munich
pal boards decided the net profits should
be used for the promotion of cultural
purposes in the home localities
\ survey of how Christiania has
spent this income during the last year
was published recently by the local
press. The city has a population Of
about 100000. The net profit of the
operation in 1921 amounted to 1,349, 900
kroner (about $350,000 at par). This
sum was awarded to various cultural
aims, namely 100000 kroner to studio
building for the Norwegian sculptor
Gustav Vigeland, 100000 kroner to
peoples theatre" on the city's least
side" 100000 kroner to a new concert
hall 100000 kroner to a fund for the
support of science and 10000 kroner to
4 new music pavilion. In previous years
the studio of Mr.. Vigeland has been
awarded 100000 kroner, the peoples
theatre" 1,400,000 kroner and the con
cert hall 100000 kroner from the same
source
The city of Trondhiem in northern
Norway. with a population of about A.
600 inhabitants. has a net profit of 3d.,
900 kroner (about $90,000) from its mu-
nicipal motion picture theatres in 1921.
OF this surplus 100000 kroner was
awarded to the city theatre and the rest
in minor allotments to other cultural in
stitutions and organizations. In a SINH
lar manner other Norwegian cities of
late years have supported their cultural
institutions and created new cultural en-
terpriSeS.

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
Bodied Hair Worn, but by the Men

Col Forbes told the legionaires that

MIR. BAKER AND HISTORY

Mr.. Bakers private character is
above reproach, and he has many
qualities which are wholly admirable,
But since the issue of his administra-
ton as secretary of war is revived
in this partisan manner, it Is neces-
sary that the record be kept straight
For it is not tolerable that it should
be distorted or erased by any amount
Of vehemence on the part Of special
pleaders, whether they speak as his
official associates or as his personal
friends.
Mr.. Baker was appointed in Feb
ruary, 1916, succeeding Lindley M
Garrison, dropped by President Will
son because he stood for national pre-
paredness. Baker was selected be-
cause as pacifist and an avowed
opponent of preparedness he fitted
into the approaching campaign to re-
elect the president on the platform of
keeping the country out of war;
And he was so faithful to the task
committed to him that fourteen
months later, when the country was
forced to take up arms in a struggle
long known to be inevitable, not one
preliminary move had been made to
fit it for self-defense.
Bakers record Of neglect and de-
lay, of vacillation and incompetence,
Of endless confusion and preposter-
Gus inefficiency, is too voluminous
for more than brief outline in this
place of some or the outstanding
facts. The shameful conditions were
concealed during the early period of
Americas participation in the wal
by an elaborate system of censorship
and official propaganda, but revela-
tions began with congressional COM
mittee inquiries late in 1917, and
were multiplied periodically thereaf-
ter. Let US summarize the situation
as it was disclosed after the country
had been at war for three-fourths Of
Ia year.

PRESIDENT OF COURAGE
AND CONVICTIONS

In his action recently with regard
to the bonus legislation President
Harding revealed himself TO the
American people as man of cour-
age and as a Chief Executive who
puts sacred duty ahead of personal,
political consideration.
In returning the bonus measure to
Congress without his approval, land
in opposition to the tremendous pres
sure of his own party, President
Harding had consideration for the
common sense Of the situation, with
the Government staggering as it is
under its enormous burden of debt.
The Presidents objections to the
measure as set forth in his message
are so sound, and so clear, and so
convincing, that they will have the
Endorsement of all thinking-America
There is no escape for the unbiased
and unprecedented mind from complete
concurrence in the logic, the truth
and the force of the Presidents I'M
answerable argument.
For courage, for deep sense of du-
ty, for splendid guardianship of the
sacred trust he assumed as President
Of the United States, there has been
nothing finer in any act of any Chief
Executive since the founding of The
| Government.
Whatever the cost to Mr. Harding's
political future doesn't matter, since
lit is a bigger thing and a better
thing for the President of the United
States to be right, to be honest with
the job he holds, to be honest with
the people who gave him his great
trust than to be returned for sec
ond term to that great trust.
But the truth is that the man who
disregards selfish considerations for
conscientious public service strength
ems himself with the people. 1t is
the coward who cringes to political
clamor, not the strong man, and Mr.
Harding now stands out before the
American people, and the world, as a
man who has the strength and the
force of character to make good in a
supreme test between selfishness anc
duty-New York Herald.

MADE HIT WITH YOUNGSTER
Companionabe Mother Need Not

OVERRIDING Her Romping.

A prominent Hoosier clubwoman
Is a devoted mother, and takes time
to romp with her children every night.
The other evening her eight-year-old
daughter brought her chum home with
her for the night. The chum's moth
er is dignlfied and never romps or
jokes with her children. SO the prom
inent woman outdid herself for the
children's amusement. Finally she
said laughingly: q must stop or Mil
dred will think you have a nut for a
mother"
The next morning when she went
upstairs to pull her daughter out Of
bed she heard the two youngsters
talking. And the little visitor said:
"Tm going to begin to pray that God
will make my mother into a nut like

Suddenly deciding to run out and play

then questioned the youngster:
"What are you limping for, Walter?"
"Oh. l dunno, dad" was the reply,
"only my feet feel awful stupid" His
feet were MISUNDERSTANDING.

Tiger players missed Aldrich entirely.
while the third tackler allowed himself
to be dragged over the goal line be-

In the old days coaches had the
players indulge in tackling practice
every day. The tackling dummy was
badly treated in the Old days. It's
different now with the new game.
These are the days of the forward
passes, shifts and deceptive plays.
There is so much more for the player
to learn that the coach spends much
Of the time instructing his players on
attack and defense that formerly was
devoted to tackling.
Percy HaughtOn, former coach Of
Harvard, briefly explains why tack
ling as an art has suffered. Here is
the way he puts it: "When a coach
has only a short time to prepare his
line Of battle, I'm order to meet the
varied attack that he must face, he
cannot give too much time to one
subject. Tackling was once the big
thing in football. 1t still plays
leading role, but has suffered because
coaches can no longer give the neces-
sary time to perfectlng that feature
Of the game"
