MANY PROBLEMS IN TARIFF
Knotty Points Concerning Rates of Duty That Have to Be Dealt
 With Judlclously.

Cakes, folding pocket scissors, mar ble statuary. oriental rugs, pineapples in brine, and bibulous paper, alias "blotters," are few of the articles with which the Court of Customs Appeals will have to struggle this winter, ac- cording to the calendar of cases 1t has issued. The tariff gives rise to many highly technical questions that are call culated to make the most judicial mind dizzy, and which have real signif- canoe in dollars and cents to some one. An example is the pending ques- tion whether wheat screenings are dutiable at 10 per cent as a nonenu- merated manufactured article or are free as wheat. What will happen when shipments of 23.000 pounds of goats boards, reported as passing through the Panama canal, reaches the customs there is no telling. Only those who go down to the sea in ships and make land at the customs house have an adequate idea of the oddities of international trade and the prob lens they present.-The Nations Business.

MEETING URGES GOOD ROADS
Organized Motorists Must Keep Up Fight for Better Highways, Says
 Illinois Official.

How Cook county and Illinois got their start in good roads and what is needed to aid the cause of improved highways were emphasized forcibly by speakers at a recent meeting unoer the auspices of the Illinois Automobile club.
 Organized motorists of Illinois must keep up the fight for good roads," said Henry Paulman, chairman of the good roads committee of the Illinois State Automobile association, who was in- troduced as the man chiefly respon- sible for putting over the $60,0OO.OOO bond issue that guaranteed improved hard-surfaced highways for the state" ]" MT. Paulman proceeded to give much of the credit to William Busse, who was eulogized by other speakers.

BETTER ROADS
BUILDING MORE GOOD ROADS
Completed FederaI-Ald Highways Now Total 1929 MiIes-Many New
 Projects Started.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture)
 Nearly 5000 miles nearer the goal of a completed system of highways for the United States is the latest report of the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agricul- ture. The final goal, the construction of a system of approximately 1SO,OOO miles of federal-aid highway consist ing of a network of trunk line and sec ondary roads reaching into practically every county is still long way of, but We are 5,392 miles nearer than at the beginning of the year, according to the bureau.
 Completed federal-aid roads now total S,299 miles with 14,912 miles un- der construction, and approximately 60 per cent complete. Including projects not yet under construction federal-aid roads in all stages now total 4O,33S miles.
 There is no indication of any slack. ening of the greatly increased rate of progress which began with the season of 1921 as the states continue to pour in plans for new projects and place them under construction as rapidly as possible. Nearly twelve and one-half

MEASURE PRESSURE ON ROAD
Apparatus Designed by Bureau of Tests of Illinois State High
 way Division.

The pressure exerted on a pavement by the impact of motor truck wheel as 1t passes over bumps, cracks and depressions can now be accurately de termined by an apparatus designed by the bureau of tests of the Illinois state highway division. In this device the wheel load is carried on an oil cylinder three inches in diameter, the oil line being connected with three-eighths- inch cylinder, the piston working against coil spring. This piston is connected by levers to stylus moving over rolling paper. The paper rolls are operated by connection with the truck transmission, enabling the oper- ator to determine the relation of the speed of the truck to the movement of the paper.

For frying, good sweet lard is used, ana when you bite into one of these crisp, brown, tasty cakes they are not at all of kin to the kind you buy.
 Norwegian Meat BaIIs.-Put three pounds of round steak through the meat grinder nine times. add spoon full of cream at a time to the pulp, working 1t in well; when moist enough to shape, make into balls, season with salt and pepper and drop into boiling broth to cook five minutes. Skim out and serve with a little of the broth thickened with flour and butter mixed. Pour around the balls. The broth Is prepared from the meat trimmings and stringy portions left from the meat grinder. Cover with cold water and simmer until good broth Is formed.

could never be so forceful and power full as cabbage, even in its last mo ments."
 Cabbage soup, a great Parisian del icacy, won its favor, according to tra- dition, in a singular way. It was in 1880 that play was produced called "The Soldier Worker" The author in- a soup scene, he obliged the manage ment to serve steaming dish of cab bage soup on the stage every night The audience was more impressed with the soup than the play; the aroma waited out over the people and made them hungry. The consequence was that they stormed the restaurants for cabbage soup and the proprietors were obliged to call upon the theatrical managers for the recipe. Hence the famous cabbage soup. In Perigord the goose stuffed with truffies Is. say those who have eaten it, the cli- max of French cookery. The story is told of an epicure searching for new dishes who travelled all over France and died with an empty pie dish be- fore him at Perigord. He had eaten a goose pie and there was nothing left to live for.
 Cream of Cabbage Soup.-Take one half of a medium-sized cabbage, chop fine and measure; to one quart of the chopped cabbage take one quart of milk. Cover the cabbage with one quart of water boiling hot. add a tea spoonful of salt, slice of onion, and a sprig of parsley. Just simmer, not allowing the cabbage to boil, until it Is transparent; the fireless cooker is a good place to cook 1t. Press through a colander. saving the water Add to this quart of milk, rub one-half cup full of butter with three tablespoon fuls of flour, stir into the soup and cook. Season with salt and pepper and serve with squares of bread or small cheese balls. Red cabbage will give a violet shade to the soup; 1t is often used when serving a violet luncheon.
 Cream of cauliflower may be used for soup in the same way, using head of cauliflOwer.
