The Railroads Gain

In gauging the general business prosperity OF the
country, not few experts have taken the railroads
alone the barometer, and all prognosticators OF
trade conditions consider the carriers Of the
big indicators
In view Of this, the traffic gains made by the
roads during the first five months Of this year are
encouraging. These reports give the lie to the pes
smsts and bears, who last Christmas gazed into the
crystal and foresaw period of depression this year.
The total traffic for the five months, about 1888
billion net ton miles, exceeded by more than per
cent that for the same period last year, and was
nearly per cent above that for the correspond
ing period in 1924.

Ending q Barbarity

The school children Of Mexico have entered on
campaign to abolish bull fighting. It began in
rural school not far from the capital and has spread
throughout the country eliminating in petition to
the ministry of education that Mexico, having &C.
qured high degree Of culture, should abolish the
barbarity of bull fighting, which is afront to CIV
ilizaton" and urging that if the cruel sport cannot
be stopped at least the slaughter Of helpless, bro-
en-down horses be stopped The latter is an echo OF
. similar demand made in Spain.

barity-the appeal Of school children can end moth
ing. But in a score Of years those children will be
the citizens Of the republic. The gay flags OF the
sport. the coorful arena. the flash and glitter Of
the crowds may continue apparently unchanged Ton
time. Bull fight news and pictures may crowd
the sport pages and make money for the sport maga-
zines devoted to the game. None the less, the end
has come. The DID, coarser, primitive order haa
changed. Education has enlightened. What Il
taught in the schools today will be the law tOmor-

Wives says writer who evidently knows

At first glance this seems to be a very good sug-
gestion But how is the woman who is raising q
family including husband, going to get away for
two weeks?
Provided it is financially possible, is it humane ?
Isn't there some law coming under the heading Of

leaving her husband at the mercy of dirty dishes

Here is menu built around one of
the choicest of all meats, leg of lamb
We call it spring lamb, although as a
matter of fact it Is on sale in large
towns and city markets the year
around, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture American
people as a whole do not seem to ap-
preciate lamb and mutton. Ameri-
cans, for instance, eat only about five
pounds of mutton and lamb per per-
son each year, and nearly half the to-
tai quantity eaten in the United
States is by the people of the Atlantic
Seaboard states. Canadians and
French people consume ten pounds of
lamb and mutton per person each
year, the British twenty-five pounds,
and the Argentinians twenty-eight
pounds. Great Britain moreover has
to import large quantities of her lamb
and mutton, whereas we have an
abundant homegrown supply. One of

or conserve will do The main thing
is to have good sharp flavor that
cuts the lamb fat and tones down it's
pronounced flavor. Potatoes Drowned
with the meat may be served or not,
as you like.
Also another thing in serving lamb
hot, have it hot, piping hot, if it Is
to be hot at all. Put it on hot plat
ter as soon as 1t comes from the oven,
carve it quickly befores it cools, and
serve it on hot plates. The fat of
lamb is different from that of most
o. our common meats AS the scien-
lists put it, mutton and lamb fat has
high melting point. In other words it
has to become and be kept hot to stay
In liquid state. Or In still other
words, as soon as lamb fat cools even
little, 1t hardens and sticks to the
plate. 1t then sticks to the tongue
and to the roof of the mouth, too,
when it Is eaten, because 1t requires
more heat to melt it completely than
we can give it. Because of this Pc
culiarity about lamb fat, some fami-
lies have become prejudiced against
even the lean meat when just simple
practice of serving it hot would have
made 1t well liked by everybody.
Choose plump well-fatted leg
weighing AZ to 51a or pounds. Pre-
pare the leg for roasting by wiping it
off with damp cleth. Rub salt over
the outside. Some cooks believe In
rubbing flour over it too, and some
do not. The meat will be good either
way. Then place the meat with the
bone side up in heavy roasting pan,
preferably on rack, and put 1t in a
very hot oven (about 500 degrees
Fahrenhei). Of roasted In this posi-
ton the thick portion of meat will be
most convenient for carving.) Let the
meat stay at this high temperature
for 20 minutes until it sears over;
then let the oven cool down to mod
crate temperature (about $50 degrees
Fahrenheit) and continue the roasting
for 2 to 21a hours, depending on the
size Of the leg. A general rule is to
allow Is minutes per pound, counting
out the time required for soaring.
Most people prefer lamb well done,
though 1t should not be cooked so long
that it is dry. Basic occasionally
during roasting with the drippings.
but do not add any water. Leg of
lamb is one of the tender cuts which
Should be cooked at fairly high tenn
perature and needs no moisture added
during cooking. If water were added
it would simply serve to draw out the
juices and take away from the rich
flavor of the meat itself Be sure also
to carve crosswise of the grain
through the thickest portion of the
leg.
For dessert have blackberry ice
cream made with fresh berries, and
sunshine cake.

Cheese Rich in Calcium,

Cheese is one of the richest of all
our common foods In calcium Many
Americans do not get enough calcium
In their foods to furnish their bodies
with the quantity Of this mineral
needed for building and repairing
teeth and bones. Cheese made from
whole milk also contains a consider
able quantity of fat Because OF this
fat and the fact that the protein Of
cheese is of the same efficient kind
as that In meat, cheese combination
is excellent to use occasionally as the
main dish at dinner or supper.
