New Britain Men Leaders in Pro-
 jeCt at Boston, Mass.

The Polish Students club of Bos- ton, Inc, an organization composed of students of Polish extraction and formed for the promotion Of better citizenship among persons of that nationality and to provide a homo center for those who come from dis tant cities to study at the many schools in and around Boston,, has planned the erection of home in the Massachusetts capital. Word to this effect has been received In this city from tho clubs president. Leo J. WaskeleWicz, a local boy studying at the Suffolk law school.
 The announcement has caused es- pccial interest among the Polish parents and il is believed that this will be an incentive for them to sc- cure higher education for their chill dren. They hope to create schol- arship fund and plans for this arc already under consideration.
 According to MT. Waskelewicz, more than 65 members are listed on the roster of the club as active members, including representatives from most all of the colleges in and around Boston. Several New Brit ain men are in the club.
 At the last bi-monthly meeting of the organization seven members were appointed q committee to out- line plan for the realization of the building. Conrad Fisk and Edward Eent2, two local youths, are mcm- bcrs of it. Business men have eH- pressed keen interest and have of fcrod cooperation.

MOTORS HARD HIT
 AS MARKET SAGS
Growing Uncertainty Of BuSi-
 ness Is Reflected

New York, April i9 R) .-- Stock prices broke sharply today pre- sumably on selling inspired by the growing uncertainty as 10 the fu- ture course Of business. Motors were the hardest hit on the the ory that the heavy pace set by production and sales in inc first quarter could not be maintained, and that as q result earnings would suffer, Hudson collapsed G 1-2 points 10 6i 3-4, as against a high Of 123 1-4 earlier in the year; Jordan broke , 1.i, Pierce Arrow preferred and several others 1 10 3 points. Bear selling was particularly heavy in the mo- tor group, but the apparent ease with which several issues declined also led to extensive commission house liquidation.
 The selling In the general list was stimulated by the marking up of the call money rate to 5 per cent. Selling pressure against the rail group was directed chiefly against the shares of southern roads, Atlantic Coast Line drop ping le points and Southern Rail- way and St. Louis s-Southwestern 3 each. Lack Of public interest in the market was attributed 10 the un- "asiness over spring and summer ! business, which in many lines has tailed to come up to earlier cxpec- tations. Trading was in substan- iially heavier volume than last week, the million share mark be- ing crossed before the end Of the third hour.

Caleb caught an early ferry for the
six-mile water trip across the bay

he took a local train that paralleled
the shore Of the lower bay for time
before striking east through Coyote

the hills for the overland trains. AS
he had done on HermanOs creek, Caleb

tugged up the canyon until he knew
them by heart.
He left the train at the same sta
ton he had used on his previous trip,
buying some fruit to serve as lunch
con before he crossed the bridge and
started up Hermanos. He had brought
along rod and creel, more as a mask
to. his real intentions than from any
idea Of fishing.

Smooth Clipped Places

should. tie dampened cloth over the

Watermelon Pickles Are
Excellent for a Change

AS a change from other sweet
pickles this year, try some made from
watermelons, which promise to- be
abundant Only the white portion of
the rind is used. The red heart of the
watermelon can be eaten as usual
The following recipe has been test
ed BY the United States Department
of Agriculture:
For each two pounds Of watermelon
rind allow
cupfuls sugar r. tablesp,o 'o}nf full
3 cupfuls vinegar cloves
Q sticks cinnamon II tablesp o nlflul
allspice
Trim off the red portion and outer
rind of the watermelons, which are
best used at the height of the season.,
and in ripe, fresh, condition. Cut the
white part into pieces of suitable size
and cook until tender for about 10
minutes, in a part of water to which
one teaspoOnful of salt has BEEN ada
ed, and drain we'll. Put into a sii'up
made Of the vinegar, sugar and spices,
and cook about fifty minutes, or until
clear. IF the vinegar is very acid it
may be necessary to dilute it,. Much
of the success in all pickles lies in US
ing well-favored vinegar. Bottle
the pickles in usual way.

Egg Yolk Is InUaIuable
in Diet of Young Child

Leftover egg yolks have many good
uses. The egg yOlk contains larger
percentage of iron than almost any
other food For this reason it is invaI-
liable in the diet of children who get
plenty Of calcium from milk but ars
not likely to get enough iron. Egg
yOlks can be cooked hard without the
addition of any fat, for they them
selves contain a large amount of fat.
This cooking can be satisfactorily done
in a double boiler. Hard-cOOked egg
yolks mashed and seasoned make a
very good filling for sandwiches. Egg
yOlks raw or hard cooked, make good
salad dressings. Chopped beef mixed
with raw egg yolks contains higher
proportion of iron than almost any
other meat dish. 1t can be brOiled in
cakes or baked in roll. It has g. very
delicate flavor and is therefore recon-
mended for the sick. HOllandaise
sauce which consists chiefly Of egg
yolks and butter is good to serve with
fish and is particularly appropriate
for this purpose since most kinds of
fish contain less iron than meat and
far Tess fat. The proportions usually
given for HoTlandafse sauce are rather
alarming for the economical house
keeper because of the large amount of
butter called for. For everyday pur-
poses a simpler sauce made out of
yolks, 2 teaspoonfuEs of lemon
Juice, 1S cupful of water, with salt
and cayenne pepper to taste will do
The ingredients should be combined
In the top Of double boiler and
cooked with great care over hot water.
It is necessary to- beat the mixture
even after it is taken from the hot
water to prevent curdling.

Canning Pirnentos

Pimentos to be canned should be
packed without water, it is stated in
the latest Farmers Bulletin on can

Vegetables at Home" This is be-
cause the processing brings out a
thick liquor in the can. The skins of
the pimentos must first be removed by

them in a hot oven. If you have sur
plus pimentos to can, be sure to send

CASSEROLE HELPS
MAKING A DINNER
One of Most Satisfactory to
SerUe Guests.
prepared by the United States Department

prepared by the United States Department
of AgriculturG,)
If you have not discovered the pos
s1bilities of q casserole for making a
dinner both delicious and easy to pre-
pare, now is a good time to try It.
An earthenWare or glass baking dish
with a clOse-fitting cover, is desirable
If you have one, especially if you in
tend to bring the casserole to the ta-
bic. But if you wish to experiment
first with this method of cooking and
have no casserole, a heavy enamel or
aluminium saucepan or even an iron
pot with tight cover can be used.
In this case the contents of the pan
used for baking will, of course, have
to be dished on platter, which
makes an extra piece to be washed.
The casserole is a dish saver.
A casserole dinner is one of the
most satisfactory to serve to guests
when one is both cook and hostess.
1t can be cooked in the morning, and
reheated at dinner time for half an
hour or so. In this way the house
keeper is free to finish the other de-
tails of her dinner, and is spared that
fluStered and tired feeling that results
from having too many last-minute'
foods on the fire The meat or poul-
try cooked in q casserole, well sea-
sOned and accompanied by the right
vegetables, will be unusually fine in
flavor because Of the long, slow, moist
cooking in the covered dish. 1t is also
