SOUP IS IDEAL
DISH FOR
FALL
Electric Oven Offers Cleaner
Service Than oId-Fash-
ioned Range
BY STELLA ELIZABETH
DEF AND

There are few foods as satisfying
in cool weather as well-cooked
soups. When / say "well-cooked'' I
mean the kind that used to simmer
in the big iron pot from one weeks
end to the next on the back If
grandmother's coal stove While the
coal range is no longer the most
modern of cooking appliances one
can accomplish the same results in
a much cleaner and easier way by
using the oven of an electric range
or an electric fireless cooker Here
is the way / make two kinds of
soup electrically.
Black Bean Soup
Soak quart of black beans over
night and the next morning drain
them and cover with two quarts of
fresh water. If you are going to
cook the soup in the electric range
oven you can still use the big iron
soup pot, but il it is to be cooked
lin an electric fireless cooker use
one of the cooker pots. To the water
and beans add three cloves and a
bay leaf. Bring this all to a quick
boil with ehigh" heat in your cleo.
trio range oven. Then reduce the
heat to low and let the soup sim
mar for four hours. Put it through
a colander, season to taste with salt
and pepper and serve with sliced
hard boiled egg floting in the soup
as a garnish. If one desires a rich
er soup cook a quarter pound of
salt pork with it.
Beef With Marrow Balls
Cut two pounds Of. beef soup meat
from the shin in one-half inch cubes
and brown, add two and a hall
quarts of water, one tablespoonful
of salt and half a teaspoonfuI OF
pepper. Bring to a quick boil in
the electric range oven and then
let 1t simmer for an hour. Skim
the soup and add three carrots, one
white turrip. a potato and stalk
of celery, all cut into dice. and
simmer for two hours longer using
low" heat. If the fireIess cooker is
used instead of the electric range
oven, bring the soup to a boil and
skim, then add the vegetables fanC
place in the fireless cooker and keeT
the electricity switched on for one
hour, then switch it off and let the
soup simmer for three hours in the
stored heat In either case the sour
may be started in the cooker OF
oven and left to cook while you &c
out for the afternoon. 1t will upor
your return be ready to serve fol
dinner.
Y Take two tabIespoonfuls Of mar
row. chop it fine and with It mix
half a cupful Of cream which you
can thicken with bread crumbs. Tt
this add one finely chopped hard
boiled egg, half a teaspoonfuI OF
chopped parsley. the same quantity
OF salt and a little pepper. Make
little balls of this and serve then
in the beef soup after it has been
strained. Make a beef pie Of the
meat the next or the same day.

VETERAN CARRIER RETIRES
Peter Clyne for S7 Years Has Car ried the Mail to Yale University We'll Known to Grads.

New Haven, Feb. 21.--Peter Clyne who had carried a mail bag for Uncle Sam on the Yale college route for 37 years, retired today. This route was the one to which he was appointed in 1SS7 and once in tho old days when change in the postmastership might have deprived him of 1t, Yale demanded that he be retained.
 Nearly every Yale college man knew Peter, and mutually he knew them and knew many of their fathers, graduates of earlier days. A post office of the students short ened his daily route in later years, but growth of the college made his mail burden increasingly heavy. He saw Yale grow from a small group of buildings which he covered as mail man to an institution which has 8 mail business equal as an esti- mate to e city of over 25,000 per- sons.

PRICES HIGHER
 ON SHORT DAY
Equipments and Southwestern
 R. R. Shares Lead

New York, Feb, 2l.--stock prices today worked into higher ground under the leadership of equipments and Southwestern railroad shares. Many of the latter rose to the high. est levels in several years on merger reports. Placing of large orders for rail supplies promoted a wider de- mand for equipments, which was &C., centuated by belated short covering. American Locomotive was up IA points and gains of 1 to 3 points were made by an assortment of oth- CT representative industrials and spe- cialties. Proht-taking developed in spots shortly before the close, and was reflected in the weakness of U. s. Cast Iron Pipe. Mack Truck, General Electric, Marland and Pa cilc Oils and St. Paul rails. The closing was firm. Sales approximat- ed one million shares.

COwlishaw FavOrs Car
 For Charity Department

William c. Cowlishaw, a former superintendent of the charity de- pertinent, believes that department should be furnished with an auto mobile, as it is proposed to do in the budget soon to be acted upon by the city meeting board, but believes that the present allowance for q car for the town farm superintendent should be discontinued.
 The former superintendent does not believe, however, that a new car should be purchased if the board proposed to allow the farm superin- tendent a drawing account for his automobile. He feels the depart ment has long been in need of means of transporting i'll and insane persons to institutions, much of which was done in his own car while he headed the department.

POSITION MATTER 0F LUCK'- K'-BINGHAM
(Continued from First Page)

he received the grade of sergeant. So far as I know his education, his ability, his flying and mechanical ability, were equal to or superior to mine, but I had better luck than he, and received majors commission at the beginning of the war, while he received only warrant as ser geant.
 "We received our final flying train ing for tho reserve military aviators degree at Mineola together. At 9 o'clock he went up for his lessons. They got into tailspin. The plane crashed, the captain instructor was killed and the sergeant was seriously injured. When I came down from preliminary flying to take by lessons found all flying had been called off because the teacher was killed and this sergeant was in the hospital for over a year. do not know his present condition, but assume him to be 50 per cent disabled or only 30 per cent disabled. I understand he recovered in large measure from his injury! Why should I receive, had I been in his place, seven times as much pension-for this is nothing but a pension measure, when we get down to the facts--as he for the same injury, at the same time, when we came into the, army as civilians at the same time?\
 Some of us were more lucky than others and got higher ranks. But it seems to mo that 1t Is unfair that men who were lucky enough to get ranks should, by such bill as this, be given six or seven times as much as those who were not so fortunate.
 There were sergeant majors in tho army and there were first ser geants. men of the greatest ability, who had come out of private life from positions of great responsibility who were, in the opinon of a great many officers, superior to commits stoned officers In their usefulness and in their service. Yet by this bill those men who only reached the grade of sergeant major or first ser geant for 30 per cent injury could receive only sS60 year, while a lieutenant colonel would receive S2.- CPS a year. or seven times as much. It does not seem to me just that such things should be, because men of both ranks came out of civil life together at the same time and under the same circumstances. K
 The only proper right and safe course to pursue is to put our citi- zens in a single class-patriots all-- and to minister to each and every one of them who suffered disability and infirmlty according to the de- Grees of such disability or infirmity."
