We'd IKE to put the following in letters
foot high. But we refrain out of respect for tn
feelings of the two three men who read thi
page. But we hope they get the full content o
the following paragraph
"No higher authority on motor car driv-
ing can be found than the traffic officers of
our large cities, and they say that women
drivers as rule are far more careful than
men. This may hurt the feelings of some
Madelia drivers who imagine they could give
Barney Oldfield lessons, and they may reply
that the women ought to be better drivers
in view of their training in driving from the
back seat. But the fact remains that our
smart Alec drivers are found among men.
Watch, the next time you get in dense traffic,
how deliberately the women drivers move
along. You will find that it is the men who =
keep their horns blaring and who squeeze in
and out of traffic as though they were driv-
ing fire truck on hurry run. 1t seems
from reports made by traffic officers and
published from time to time in the newspap-
ers of our big cities that mothers foot is
as steady on the gas pedal as her hand is
on the cradle-Madelia Press.

This is the time of year for one of those

Variety Spells Success in

only in vegetables and desserts but
also in meats. One way of securing
this ever welcome variety is by scrv
ing appetizing parts of fresh meat not
generally familiar in the regular fam
selected meats, consist of brain.
tongue, sweetbreads, liver, heart, tripe
and oxtail. Because of their high
vitamin and protein content these
meats are very nutritious, yet because
they are little unusual they may be
purchased at bargain prices.
In our grandmothers' days, when
the killing was done on the farm,
these meats were regarded as fresh
meat luxuries. Our foreign born pop-
ulation today is accustomed to using
them, also people whose taste has
been sophisticated by foreign travel
and much eating at hotels specialize

the selected meats, recipes for which

MODERATE OVEN BEST
FOR BAKING CAKES

Most angel food cake failures are due
to the fact that the cake is put into
too hot an oven, as this causes the
cake to rise, but it does not cook the
center of the cake. Use very slow
oven to give the cake chance TO
raise. then increase the heat gradually
to brown and lower again the last
70 minutes of the baking.

POTATO USED FOR
CLARIFYING FATS

Fat is easily clarified by adding a
raw potato cut in quarter inch
slices and put in the slowly heated
fat. Strain. The potato will absorb
the odors and the gases in the fat.

The two most important things in
cake making are accurate measure
ments and the proper handling OF
shortening and sugar. The flour
should always be sifted before measur:.
ing and standard measuring cups and
spoons should be used. One Gun can
be used for all measurements if the
dry ingredients are measured first.
The following method for measuring
shortening is a good one: If the re-
cipe calls for one-half cupful of short
ening fill your cup full of cold water,
then add shortening until the water
reaches the top. Pour off the water
and will have an accurate half cup
full Of shortening.
II is very helpful to use thermome-
ter in baking. This insures an even:
steady heat and there is no danger OF
the cakes falling from open oven
doors. g,
Always grease your cake. pans with
shortening. Do not flour them as the
cake will slip out easily and whole
when shortening is used.

MODERN BASEBALL GETS ONE-SIDED

The lively "jack-rabbit" ball is revolutionizing the national sport of baseball Instead of having Willie keeler types Of batsmen, able to place hits where felders are flew and far between" we have the Babe Ruths and the Harry Hell manns, who aIm to knock a plank out of the fence every time they step to the plate.
 Instead of having pretty hit-and- run plays, the squeeze play, pitching duels, head work and one-to-noth- ing scores we have home runs and big scores, with the game mostly A matter of racing around the sacks until the exhausted helders retrieve the ball,
 The reason for the lively ball and the heavy hitting was to meet what was regarded as q public demand for excitement in the ball parks. Hitting the ball hard and often, 1t seems, is regarded as exciting.
 The big league games nowadays are pretty much like amateur games used to be that is to say. such amateur games where neither side had q good pitcher, so that every body could hit the ball and run around bases like rabbit. Such games formerly were deemed poor specimens of the sport, only toler- able in cases where the players were out for a diamond spree and not necessarily a game of real base hall. The modern development has been to inject this kind of game into the big leagues.
 The modern school of home run batsmen get considerable fame as such, but only few of them are regarded as good all around ball players in addition to being heavy hitters. Baseball stars of past generation had to do more than merely hit the ball hard they had to be high grade in every de- partment.

ROW 300 MILES IN FIVE BAYS TIME
Boston to New York Trip Nets
 Pair $500 Bet

New York. July q Sundry friends of Dr. Thomas N, Richards, physician to the Harvard football team and G. S. Sclfridge, Annapolis graduate, were collecting bets today as the result of the pairs feat in rowing a wherry from Boston to New York-a SOO-mle trip in five days.
 Sclfridge and Richards left the Union Boat Club float in the Charles river last Tuesday and landed at the Metropolitan Boat Club on the liar lem river yesterday. They lost one day en route because of storms but made Up for lost time by pulling from New London 10 Rye beach, q distance of 100 miles, between sun rise and sunet. Throughout the trip they wore only rowing trunks and when they arrived both were burned a brick red. From waist to neck the skin had peeled but otherwise they were in the best condition.
 They rowed from Boston to On- set, via the Cape Cod canal, then shipped the wherry overland to Fall River. Out of Fall River the oars men ran into a heavy fog and were in grave danger of being run down by pleasure boats but Selfridge's An napolis training came to the fore.
 He had a compass and by it set a course for Narragansett Pier so accurately that they pulled up at the pier on schedule after 25 miles through the fog, The next days rowing took them to Watch Hill and Saturday night they pulled ashore near New London. Oarsmep say that their feat probably makes a record for a double wherry.
 They told friends at the HarN ard club all about it last night much to the skeptics who had not expected them for a week.
 MT. Selfridge is 57 years old. Dr. Richards is in his early thirties. A wherry IS an open boat with sliding seats and outraged sweeps like racing shell but heavier.

DARROW'S CASE OF CONTEMPT

He, the most famous criminal lawyer of this gen. eration, was being held in check by a rural judge of whom nobody outside of Tennessee had ever heard before the evolution trial be- gan.
 Yet no lawyer should consider himself above the court in which he happens to be pleading. Judge Rauston, in deciding upon the con- tempt proceedings, acted slowly and without passion; he could have acted forthwith rather than waited several days until the offending words were typewriter from the record for his use.
