Main ThOrOughfareS

Another outstanding feature of
the new law is the creation of main
thoroughfares which are designated
as all sections of public roads or
highways in which street cars or
electric cars are run as well as main
market and inter-county highways.
Vehicles and street cars going on
such thoroughfares are given the
right of way over. those going on in
tersecting thoroughfares
For the purpose Of reducing the
chances for accidents it is required
that vehicle joining the flow of
traffic on a road or highway from a
standing position, an alley, build
ing or private property shall yield
the right of way to all other vehicles.
Local authorities are given the
right TO designate by ordinance or
resolution, additional main thor
oughfares and to designate what We
hicles shall have the right of way at
intersections of such thoroughfares,
provided that legible signs are erect
ed not nearer than 100 feet from the
intersection

PROVISION OF THE LATE
UNIFORM TRAFFIC LAW

No law passed by the legislature
at the last session carries with il
more significance 10 the drivers OF
motor vehicles than does the Uni
form Traffic Code which becomes
effective July 26, and for their own
protection as we'll as the public at
large. The Ohio State Automobile
Association is urging all motorists
to familiarize themselves with its
various provisions.
Because of the fact that more in
terest is attached to the speed at
which such vehicles may be operat-
ed, either upon the streets of mu-
nlcipality or on the highways of the
rural districts, special attention is
directed by the association to the
rates of speed that are specified.
The new law provides (Section
12603) that whoever operates a
motor vehicle in and upon the public
roads or highways at a speed great
er than is reasonable and proper,
having regard for the width, traffic
and the general and usual rules of
such road or highway, shall be deem
ed guilty of misdemeanor A rate
or speed greater than Is miles an
hour In the business or closely built
up portions of municipal corpora
tlon or more than 25 miles an hour
IN other portions thereof, or more
than 35 miles an hour outside of
municipal corporation, shall be pri-
ma facie evidence of speed greater
than is reasonable or proper.
In laying down such rates of
speed it is also specified (Section
126O3-2) that any person operating
motor vehicle without due regard
for the safety and rights of pedes-
trians as well as drivers and occu-
pants of all other vehicles, so as to
endanger life, limb or property of
any person while in the lawful use
of the roads, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor.
For the first offense a driver found
guilty of any of these provisions
shall be fined not less than SO nor
more than 500. For a second Of
fense, not less than SIS nor more
than 500 or imprisonment, not
more than 10 days or both. A third
offense carries with it penalty of
not less than $50 or more than 5000,
or Imprisonment for not less than 10
days nor more than 80 days.

Must Give Signal

Secretary Charles c.. James of the
Ohio State Automobile Association
laid emphasis on the fact that motor
lists under the new law are required
when overtaking another vehicle for
the purpose of passing. shall signal
by horn, the vehicle to be overtaken,
and that the latter shall Immediately
turn to the right and give the over
taking vehicle room to pass. Too
many drivers of automobiles, he
stated, have discontinued the prac-
tice of giving such signals and under
the new statute, will lay themselves
liable for failure to comply with this
requirement.
All vehicles are required to keep
to the right side of the road or high
way except when necessary to turn
to the left in crossing the road or
highway or in overtaking and pass
ing another vehicle. One vehicle
overtaking and passing another shall
not pull over to the right antil clear
of the overtaken vehicle.
Rules for Pedestrians
Pedestrians under the provisions
of the new law must obey and abide
by all signals, signs, whistles and di-
rections of police officers. 1t is
further specified also that they shall
not step into or upon a public road
or highway without looking in both
directions to see what is approach

rank over various others contained
in the uniform traffic code. the state

sIMMERING MUTTON is BEST
important for Cook to Remember That
"Boiled" Meat Should Never
Come t0 Boil.

An important thing to be remem-
bered Is that boiled" meat should not
boil, but simmer. says the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Prepare leg or. shoulder or lamb,
or mutton, for cooking. Have ready a
large kettle containing enough boiling
water to cover the meat. Lower the
meat into the water. taking care that
it is entirely submerged. Bring the
water again to the boiling point, then
place kettle where water will simmer,
as shown by continued motion on one
side Of the kettle. Continue the SIM
mering until the meat is tender. from
an hour and a half to two hours for
lamb and from two to three hours for
mutton. While cooking add to the wa
ter salt. nepper and any other season
ings liked.

burner uses from one-third to one-half
more gas than other burners.
Turn to Lowest Point.
Any burner in use should be turned
down to the lowest possible point
which will maintain the temperature
Of the boiling point as soon as boil
ing begins. To leave the burner
turned high throughout the boiling
process, Is to waste gas. Tests made
on various gas stoves by the United
States Department Of Agriculture have
shown that fully one-half the gas used
In any one days cooking with the gas
turned high or on full, may be saved
by turning the gas down as quickly
as possible. When the medium-sized
star burner uses II to II cubic feet of
gas per hour. the giant burner, It was
found, used IS cubic feet. and the SIM
mering burner used about three to
four cubic feet. The ordinary and
giant burners can be turned down to
keep food boiling while consuming not
more than three cubic feet of gas per
hour, and the simmerer can be so
turned down that 1t uses only half
that amount Of gas.

COOK BEEF AND CALF HEARTS
Should Appear Occasionally on Family
Menu Because OF Variety and
Economy.

Beef and calf hearts are most pala-
table when properly prepared, and, for
the sake of variety as well as econo-
my. since they are among the less ex-
pensive meats, they should occasion
ally appear on the family menu. Beef
hearts are tougher than calf hearts,
and must be given long cooking. calf
hearts may either be cooked very
quickly, as when they are sliced and
fried, or given long, slow cooking, in
the same way beef heart is prepared.
For the latter dish, wash either kind
Of heart thoroughly inside and out,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Stuff it with mixture Of
broken or crumbed bread from the CEN
ter Of the loaf, butter or other fat, salt,
pepper and chopped onion. About one
cupful Of bread to one small onion is
good proportion, and sufficient to
stuff beef heart. AS calf hearts are
so much smaller, several will be need
ed, and the same amount Of stufing
can be made to do for two or three
hearts. Sew up the opening. Cover
the heart or hearts with water and
simmer until tender, or boil for ten
minutes and cook In the f1reless cooker
for six or eight hours. Remove from
the water about one-half hour before
serving. Dredge with flour, pepper and
salt, or sprinkle with crumbs, and
brown in the oven. Serve with gravy
made from the water in which the
meat was cooked.

PECTIN EXTRACT HAS
MANY COOKING USES
Lemon or Orange Best for Max
Ing Clear Amber Jelly.


tPrsparsd By the United States Department
Ct ASriouiture)
+, Many fruit juices that do not ordi-
narily make successful Jelly may be
.jeilled by the use Of pectin extracts.
Lemon or orange pectin extract Is bet
ter to use than apple pectin extract
when q clear amber jelly Is desired
from such juices as pineapple, orange
lemon or grapefruit. Even with rhu-
barb. apple pectin extract often pro-
duces dark. cloudy jelly instead Of
the transparent, brightly-tinted product
which may be secured by the use Of
the practically colorless orange or
lemon pectin.
Thick-skinned oranges and lemons
are best to use for this purpose. The
fruit should be washed and wiped dry;
and the outer yellow rind, which
would impart an undesirable flavor,
should be carefully pared Off, using
silver Or glass knife. or steel blade
which does not stain. 1t Is easier to
remove this rind before the fruit Ii cut
than afterwards.
After the yellow skin Is removed
the white peel is cut or In as large
pieces as possible. care being taken
that none Of the fruit pulp adheres to
It II as much as one-half pound Of
peel La collected at one time, the ex-
traction of the pectin may be made at
once. If, however, the peel Is col
lected from time to time In small
amounts, it can be dried and kept
either until there Is sufficient guam
tity to make the process of extraction
practical, or until the jelly is to be
made. 1t must be so carefully dried
that all discoloration is prevented,
otherwise the flavor will not be good.
Convenient quantities to use are
one pound fresh white peel and two
quarts Of water.
Put the fresh peel through meat
grinder, using the coarse blade, then
place 1t In granite saucepan large
enough to permit rapid boiling, cover
1t with the water and allow it to stand
for one or two hours. Just before be-
ginning to heat. measure the depth of
the material in the pan, by standing q
silver knife or spoon handle upright
in 1t. Boil rapidly until the volume is
reduced to little less than one-half
of the original, measure the depth as
before. Strain through four thick
nesses of cheesecloth and allow to
stand until dripping is complete. The
dripping may be FASTENED little by
pressing the mass lightly with spoon.
Two more extractions are made in
the same way, adding two quarts Of
water to the pomace each time. It is
not necessary, however, to allow the
pomace and water to stand for an hour
before heating, as 1t was in making
the first extraction.
Mix the three extractions together.
If the peel has been cooked according
to the directions given, little less
than one pint Of strained liquid should
be obtained as result Of each extrac-
ton. and the total amount from a
pound of peel should be about two and
one-half pints. The. lemon pectin ex-
tract obtained In this way s suffi-
GENTLY concentrated for use. Better
results are obtained with the orange
pectin If the combined extracts are

JUDGE M. l. CHURCH

The many friends of Judge M. l.
Church in the Third Judicial dis
trict are greatly pleased with the
way he has been conducting the
courts over which he has presided.
While it was known that he had
great ability in this line, 1t seems
to those who have been in attend
ance and listened to his rulings on
difficult points that he is just a lit
tie better than his fondest adher-
ents anticipated.
His decisions are not made on the
snap judgment order, but are the
result of familiarity with the au-
thorities, coupled with the exercise
of good sound common sense. He
has had some difficult cases over
which to preside, but has come
through the ordeal nobly, and it is
generally conceded, regardless of the
politics of the person approached, that
the voters of this district made no
mistake in the election of Judge M.
/. Church.
In Judges Raymond Givens and
M. l. Church the Third Judicial Dis
trict has a pair which it would be
difficult to beat.

A PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

state of Idaho Executive Department
Boise, Idaho
A Republic naturally must make
greater demands Jpn its individual
citizenry than other successful types
of government, for sovereign right
is vested in the people. Thus it be-
hooves a state to train its youth in
order that the fundamental princi-
pies OF law, order and the guarantees
of life and property may be advanced
from one generation to another. II
must also be recognized that mans
ambition for improvement of self
and his conditions is the basis of all
civilization. Therefore, after estab-
fishing the fundamental guarantees
of life and chattels, the states first
duty is to provide education for it's
potential rulers of tomorrow.
Proper regard for law and the sa-
cred institutions of home and church
must be essential prerequisites in all
school curricula throughout the
land. The training of character and
loyalty for home, state and nation
are most desirable in developing
those who tomorrow occupy the
seats of authority.
LET reverence for the laws be
breathed by every American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on
her lap said Abraham Lincoln. Let
IL be taught in schools, in seminaries
and in colleges. Let it be written
in primers, spelling-books and al
manacs."
Idaho is particularly blessed in an
excellent public school system. 1t
has provided training schools for in
dustries, trades and professions in
its higher institutions of learning
Every safeguard must be provided
to make our schools the bulwark of
freedom as well as providing the
knowledge and if possible the vir-
tues upon which the success of the
state must depend.
1t is highly desirable that proper
attention be called to the necessity
of education in its various phases
so that the proper cooperation may
be secured in solving the common
in that all children shall
enjoy the fruits of education; in
that proper attention may be given
to the teaching of American citizen
ship and Christian character and
that a high grade of teachers be pro-
vided for this important field of

GOVERNOR wALTON's BLUNDER

The people of the United States
as a whole have been greatly inter-
ested in the squabble which has been
going on in Oklahoma between Gov
ernor Walton on one side and the
legislature and judiciary of the state
on the other. At the start the issues
were sharply defined between the
governor and the Knights of the Ku
Kiux Khan, but it appears that in
his eagerness to wage war on the
invisible empire" the governor vio-
lated about all of the laws and GUS
toms which are supposed to be safe
guarded for the people, and as re-
suit he now has the residents of the
state almost solidly against him. 1t
has ceased to be a war on the Khan,
but has devolved int GA conflict be-
tween the governor on the one hand
and the people of the state as a
whole.
Goyerorn Walton has dug his
grave politically, and his passing will
be hailed by the people of Oklahoma
with relief. Constitutional rights
are too sacred to allow them to be
trampled upon with impunity.
