Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 8.--Consolida
ton of public utility companies Is
showing no signs Of q check. Electric
power central stations are producing
more current than at any time in his
tory. Huge new plants are being con.
structed and earnings Of power com
panies are not suffering. So 1t is serv.
Ice that is forcing the mergers In most
instances. 1t has finally sunk In that
the function Of public service com.
panies Is to serve and many com.
panies will continue to make heavy
expenditures for expansion purposes.
Superpower systems are being built
up In dozens OF sections. One such
is the $50. .0o0, 900 system which has
been announced for Mississippi. which
involves building of a $4,000. 900 dam
and power plant on the Tennessee
River. The bids for Muscle Shoals
are being eagerly awaited as bear.
ing extensively on direction of power
development in the South.
Limit to Expansion.
The question as to how extensive
superpower systems can be before
they become unwieldly and break
down of their own weight Is giving
electrical engineers no apparent con-
Germ.
One of the chief technical men of
the Middle West. Utilities Co., the
principal holding company of the In
suli interests. said today:
'"The distances which electrical
energy may be transmitted in large
amounts, while 1t sounds contradic.
tory, has small bearing on the opera.
ton of superpower systems because
in a superpower system involving
many inter-connections, operation
does not involve the transmission of
energy from end to end OF the system
THE immediate function of the
superpower system is to provide sup.
port for the next adjoining power-d de.
veloping neighbor. which in turn
supports the system next to 1t. In
reality, energy Is transmitted frop,
one end Of the system to the other,
not directly but by relaying."
This makes Il appear that there Is
no physical limit to the extent of
the suerpower systems. but evident.
ly there must be generating stations
at frequent intervals to help carry
the load. The largest steam general
ing plant in the world shortly will
be under construction in the insult

line on Lake Michigan. The plant
will have an ultimate capacity of
1000, 900 kilowatts or 1885 900 horse.
power and will cost about $25 900 900.
Lower Operating Costs.
This station. according to insult
executives, Is being built in the in.
terest of lower operating costs. 1t
is simply another step in the appli-
cation of the principle Of mass pro.
duction. The first units of 200 900
kilowatts will be in commission In
1929. Engineers claim that with its
relation to superpower development
this plant is likely to take rank
alongside the steam turbine for gen.
Grating electric energy. in Its Inn
portance to the industry.
Engineers are now experimenting
successfully In the underground
transmission OF current at voltages
much higher than can now be
handled by present above ground
lines. Caring power circuits UNDER

Increased supplies of early vege'

many of the heretofore high prices
that have prevailed. Liberal supplies
of asparagus from California and
South Carolina are being received
prices quoted today being much lower
than last weeks prices.
None of the asparagus was quoted
as high as IS, the highest price for
choicest stock from California being

The lowest price for small to medium
South Carolina asparagus was $3.50

vegetable always in demand, Is excep-

In large quantities. The demand is
limited and market steady. Hampers
containing ~ bushels, mostly Of the
pointed type, were quoted at $3.50,
while barrel crates were quoted at
81 and $3.50.
Only moderate supplies of tomatoes
are being received from Cuba and

light. Cuban growers are sending
light supplies of eggplant, while most
or the beets and carrots are coming
from Texas. Florida Is furnishing a

hours more. After serving in all
the more choice ways, the faithful
meat grinder will transform it into
suitable shape for the many delici-
Gus made dishes.
Since ham is highly concen-
tratcd meat, and also very high in
fat and fuel value, it should be
eaten or combined with foods
which are less concentrated and
more starchy or watery, so that
they absorb much of this fat. That
is why the combination of ham
with spinach, stringbeans, dock
and other greens" or with corn,
rice and sweet potatoes, etc, is
so eXcellent-they are naturally
balanced" both as to contrasting
qualities and flavor.
Again ham, because of its
smoked and spicy odor, blends
particularly well with chicken, veal,
eggs and other blander foods

Buv a Whole Ham and Use 1t Up

an entire choice ham and cooking
it at home is easily seen. The
housekeeper should understand
how the ham should be cut in order
to get the fullest value from it.
A ham should always first be
cut on the bias, and in three sec
tons, so as to increase the diam
eter and number of the centre,
choice slices. For greater conve-
nience at home, it is often best to
have the butcher saw these sections
apart, following the animals bony
structure. This will give the choice
centre, the large rounded end or
butt and the narrow, lean shank,
sometimes called the hook. The
following outline will show what
dishes can best be made from each
part:
WHOLE HAM.
Shank - Cook with vegetables.
Flavor beans and soups. Chopped
for made dishes.
Centre-Broil or fry in slices.
Bake or roast whole. Boil for
choice slicing cold.
Butt-Fry in less choice slices,
batters, etc. Bake for small fam
lily. Boil for chopping in made
dishes.
Fat-Fried out and used as
shortening.
Bone-Used in flavoring.
Skin-Used in griddle greasing
and flavoring.
A quality ham does not need
long soaking, but a boiled ham
should always be allowed to cool
in its own liquor to increase ten
derness. 1t should be boiled slow
ly, allowing 20 minutes to the
pound, with the temperature held
around $50 degrees. A, pressure
cooker is one of the most excellent
utensils for cooking ham, saving
time and preventing the usual
waste. If roasted, put in the oven

of ham in her pantry, need new
