FORMED, PORTLAND

Portland, Sept. 24-(AP)-The or

Woman's club was voted at the af-
ternoon session today of the Repub-
lican Women of New England. Mrs
Guy P. Gannett of Portland. heads a
committee named to arrange for the
formation Of the club.
Resolutions were adopted approy-
ing President Coolidge's plans for
enforcing prohibition and calling upon
federal and state officers to work for
reais enforcement in New England.
These resolutions were ordered sent
to New England governors, senator's.
coastguard and other federal officials.
II was voted to hold the fourth an
nual conference in Vermont.
The next step which the women of
the United States should take. and one
which they should take at once, is to
get into politics and run women can

Medill Mccormick of Chicago at the
dinner tonight which marked the clos
ing meeting of the conference.
Senator Hiram Bingham of Connec-
ticut characterized the attitude of
many persons in politics as being too
lazy even to wish for good govern
ment.
Senator Bingham said men were too
anxious to get all the political offices
there are, and encouraged the women
to seek political Offices.
Governor Ralph o. Brewster paid a
high tribute to women in politics,
while President Calvin Coolidge. in a
letter read at the meeting, said in
part:
Feeling strongly. as / do. that such
gatherings are calculated to stimulate

U. S. Population
Now 114,311,O 900

The population growth of the Unit
ed States is slowing down, in spite
of the fact that the number of people
in the country is placed at 114,311
900 for January 1, 1925, according to
estimates announced today by the
National Bureau of Economics Re-
search of New York.
Both the birth rate and the death
rate are falling, the latter faster
than the former, while immigration
accounts for only one-fifth of the
annual population increase Of con-
tinental United States.
The total population figures for
January l, 114,311 900, compares
with the bureaus estimate Of 112,-
$4,000 on January /, 1924, and the
census count Of 105,711 900 in 1920.
Continuing the bureau says that
the estimated gain during the year
1924 was 1927, 900, which is approx
mately 100000 less than the aver
age gain for the last five years. The
year of greatest gain since 1920 was
1923, when the population grew by
1,996, 900. In 16-year period the

Beefsteak and Things.

Don Marquis, the famous New York
Tribune "colyumist" is in Europe and
has made the discovery that there is
no European equivalent of the first
class American beefsteak. The "Cha.
teau BRAND" of Paris is fried thin
steak and horrible. The English
specialize on roast beef and the Ger
mans put grease in the pan when they
broil steak. Don Marquis, after
explaining the superiority of the
American steak over it's .world COM
petitors, writes about the cooking of
a beefsteak thus:
A steak should always be cooked
by a man. Women cook many other
things better. If you find any excep-
ton to this general rule with regard
to steaks, kill your present wife
with as little scandal as may be and
marry the exception. Women as a
sex are apt to be, in their attitude
toward beefsteak, too much like
the French as race, they do too
much to it, and not quite the right
thing.
The steak should be exactly one
inch and half thick, and should be
scared on both sides, quickly, at a
very hot fire; and this forms a light
crust which holds in the juices.
After that, if you are broiling it over
Goals, do not let it get so near the
fire again; cook it, from the first
super-heated moment on more slow
ly-and stop at the right time. If
there is anybody who likes, who
really likes, the wretched thing
called "a very well-done steak, |"
these words are not written for him;
he may be a good husband and
father and pillar Of the church and
the pride of his community, and he
may go to heaven, but he and will
not sit down to the same meals in
Paradise when we get there. The
steak have described, rosy and ten
der within and crusty on the out
side, should be cut into little strips
and dropped hot onto pieces of
bread, with just a little bit of but
ter and salt, and then it should be
eaten with the fingers, not with forks;
it melts into the bread. 1t melts
into the mouth. 1t melts into. and
fortifies the human spirit. Some peo-
Dle like drop of Worcester sauce.
/ don't think any sauce at all. is
necessary; . steak like that is its
own sauce"
If mere amateur might be per-
mitted to offer suggestion to those
would-be female cooks of beefsteak
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1925-04-29

who do not want to be slaughtered
for their shortcomings, the anna.
lteur would suggest to those who have
to cook with gas or electricity the
following simple rules:
Take a frying pan and heat it as
nearly red hot as possible without
cracking
Slam on a two-inch steak-T-bone
or sirloin-let it stay on the red hot
griddle while you count slowly up to
about fifty. Then turn it over quick
ly and count fifty Then turn down
the fire, put on the lid to the frying
pan and every other minute take
off the lid, drain off the grease and
turn over the steak.
Don't cook it more than five or six
minutes.
And as you love your man don't
for the love of Mike-if his name is
Mike-put either water, butter, lard
or grease of any kind in that red hot
frying pan before you cook the steak,
after you cook the steak or while you
are cooking the steak.
Give it an absolutely dry, grease
less treatment, and serve as you please
with such sauce as you care to
make after the steak is on the platter.
But steak "just so" is good enough
for poor folks!-William Allen White.

2.173.OOO were added.

2,173,00O were added.
The natural increase of population
through excess of birth over deaths
was four times the amount AIDED by
net immigration in 1924, the bureaus
figures declare.
In 1924 net immigration was 315,-
600, while births are estimated at g.
645, 900 and deaths at 1,333,000.
Since 1911 the number of deaths
has tended to remain constant, while
births have increased by nearly H.
per cent and the population has
grown by some 81 per cent.
Of the total population, 38 out of
every hundred persons are engaged
in some gainful occupation, that is
working for direct money income.
This study of population growth
was made by DIR. Willford I. King of
the bureaus research staff, as part
of the bureaus general and continu-
ing investigation of income in the
United States and its changes from
year to year.
The greatest percentage growth,
according to the figures of the
bureau took place in 1909, and the
smallest in 1918, year of war and
of influenza epidemic. The year 1923
shows one of the peaks of the period,
while 1924 is slightly below the
average, the change from 1923 being
due to the falling off in immigration.
Estimates made by DIR. King indi-
cate that, during the Is years, there
occurred in the United States more
than 41,000,0OO births and approx
mately $4,000, 900 deaths. 1t appears
therefore, that the gain in population
from excess of births over death
was something over 100000 or
more than three times the increase
in population due to immigration.
The chief cause of increase in popu-
lation in the United States, therefore,
the bureau says, is not migration
but rather the fact that more people
are born than die.
The number of births since 1909
has been a little less than double
the number of deaths, but the figures
indicate that. during the last five
years, the ratio of births to deaths
has almost reached 2 to /, This ratio
has changed materially since 1911,
a year which was about normal. In
that year the number of births was
apparently some 2,389,00 while the
number of deaths was about 1925
O00..
In 1924, Is years later, the num-
Der of births appears to have i'm
creased by more than 100000 while
the number of deaths was approx
mately unchanged. Since 1911 the
