Glory and Gore

1t is. great thing to see a cham
pionship bout. even though you have
nothing to carry away but some bru-
~tal memories. \
Men have enthused over it since
the world began the rthud Of fist
against flesh, the sweat and snort
of exhaustion, the gray pallor Of
cefeat. the flush of victory.
Tradition schools them to the
thought that the conflict brings out
tile best. and that a human being
cant really climb unless he brushes
somebody. Triumphs of the mind
are still regarded as too academic
TO be interesting. The compete
ton of thinkers has few victims and
we cannot seem to see glory with
out pain. If we could, we might all
become towards. and, that would be
bad, since civilization can never
hope to become so intellectual. or
spiritual, as not to need courage.

Spinach, peas and beans will hold
their bright green, beets their richS
red, carrots their golden yellow andA
cabbage can come out of the kettle
as delicately green as it went in if
boiled in a small amount of water
and cooked only until they are done
and not a minute longer. Spinach
and some other greens need no more
water than that which clings to the
leaves after washing and can be,
cooked in fen to fifteen minutes.
Peas, beans, beets and squash and
most other vegetables need just
enough water to cover them and will
cook in from Is to S5 minutes, de-
pending on their size. Cabbage re-
quires a short time also and should
be taken off the fire as soon as it is 4
tender. This method of cooking in
sures against yellow and mushy
vegetables and makes them easier to
digest.
