Mile Waste of Shifting

SYDNEY. Aug. 17.-Pl-Across
the sandy wastes Of Central Aus
tralia there is being built a second
trans> -ntinental railway, the
Ncrth-South connecting Darwin, il
the far north with Adelaide, the
capital Of South Australia. The
east-west transcontinental has been
in operation for some years.
On level country the whole way,
construction work on the north
south line has been comparatively
easy. One OF the most difficult
jobs was the bringing Of the Ali
bukina creek W. a mile Of shift
ing sand. The creek. really a BIG
sandy river. was dreaded by team
sters and formed a serious obstruc-
ton to the construction Of the over
lard telegraph line.
A similar dry river which the
railway engineers have had to
bridge, is the Alberga. The rail
track crosses there other so-calle6
+. rers-the Hamilton, the Stephen
son and the Finke. These ordinar-
IL are great beds Of white glister-
ing sand. In a heavy, wet season,
enormous volumes Of water come
down, hold the sand for a time II
suspension, and move vast masses OF
1t about. The water sinks so quick
ly that a few hours after a storm
no water Is visible. but in place:
quick-sands remain for days.
Cattle. horses, camels and smaller
stock have disappeared in these
holes. Eores have shown over lOC
feet OF sand in places, with fresh

Cream Cheese in Sandwiches


prepared by the United States Department
.. .r of Agricultural :
Neufchatel or cream cheese is used
in both the rolled and the fancy sand
witches illustrated The rolled sand
witches are spread with cream cheese
mixed with finely chopped watercress.
Chew chow, chill sauce, or any other
desired pickle mixture might have
been used with the cheese in place of
the water cresS. Another good spread
for these sandwiches, suggested by the
bureau of home economics, United
States Department of Agriculture, con-
SiSts of equal parts of soft cheese,
chopped olives. pimentoes or green
peppers, and nuts. Any two of these
may be used with the cheese. Add salt
and little lemon juice if liked.
The bread for rolled sandwiches
should be fresh and elastic in tex
ture, so that il will not crumble or
break when rolled. Spread the sand
witch mixture on the cut end of the
loaf, and then with very sharp
knife, cut off the thinnest possible
slice, roll it up. and trim the ends.
Use cutters of fancy shapes such as
hearts, clovers, stars, and others for
the fiat sandwiches. In spreading
these. do not put filling too near the
crust or parts likely to be trimmed
off.

may be worked into cream cheese,

she takes her morning walks along
Hollywood way.
One cannot select anything smarter
than black and white, according to
the verdict of French stylists, unless
it be brown and white, for browns of
every degree lead in the new color
card. Brown tweeds, brown knitted
novelties, brown velvet, brown satin,
all give beautifully brown aspect
to the new autumn modes.
If you are wanting to know what
colors come next in the list of fea-
tured new colors, dark green and
wine shades is the answer. Tweed
clOakings, especially, make a fascinat-
ing play on these ultra-smart shades.
Often basic green or red is blended
with harmoniZing tones with soft,
haZy colorfulness that is most be-
quilting. Wherefore it is only fair to
conclude that the prestige of the new
coats is largely matter of their ma
terials. This is true to an unprec-
edented degree.

rejest what he found strange to him.
The normal, rapidly growing child
has good appetite. He comes to the
table eager for his meal, and he eats
with Zest the food set before him.
1t must, of course, be appetiZingly
prepared-there must be an appeal in
its appearance, its odOr, and its flavor
but if the mother knows her job of
preparing suitable food properly, it
will be eaten as matter of course.
The bureau of home economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, makes these suggestions about
the early training of childrens food
habits: AccustOm the child early in
his life to variety of foods, one by
one. By the end of the first year
the baby should have been given re-
peatedly eggs and some of the more
usual fruits, vegetables and cereals,
as supplements to his principal food,
milk Start with small amounts and
increase the portion gradually. Allow
the baby the chance to learn the
flavor and texture of enc new food be-
fore another one is introduced to him.
He may object to new foods at first.
1t is not uncommon for baby to spit
out the first few mouthfuls of any
food that is strange to him. He has
to get used to new tastes. different
temperatures, strange textures, and to
new eating utensils. Changing the
baby's diet from liquid to semi-solid
and finally to solid foods must be done
step by step. Long before he gives up
the bottle or the breast teach the
baby to take water, fruit juice. cereal
cruel, and strained vegetables from
a spoon and then from a cup. Make
these gruels and purees thicker in
consistency until the child is pre-
pared for the next step-mashed and
scraped or finely diced fruits and
vegetables. Even the young baby gets
hard toast or zwieback to exercise his
gums. In this way he gradually
learns to chew and swallow foods of
different texture and consistency so
that by the age of enc and one-half
or two years he has left baby foods
behind him.
Meals for children OF any age should
come at regular hours and there
should be no distractions during the
meal Serve the very young child
only one or two foods at meal; too
much variety at once bewilders him.

Some Timely Food Suggestions

country. Many railroads and hotels
make a practice of serving their
patrons the demi tasse, as they find
it has good effect on the morning
disposition and enhances the enjoy
ment of the meal that follows.
Here is what the experts say about
making coffee:
Boiling coffee cooks it. It has re-
ceived all the cooking it needed in the
roasting process. Boiling serves to
dispel the delightful aromatic quail
ties of the coffee in the air and to
extract the bitter properties which
should be left in the grounds All the
fragrance should be retained. In per-
colating the coffee, water comes in
contact with the coffee at too low a
temperature to extract full the aro-
matte substances. The repeated contact
of the liquid and grounds dispels
fragrance and extracts undesirable
elements. The strainer will not hold
fine pulverized coffee so a coarser
grind must be used"
How to Make Drip coffee.-Utensils
for making coffee by the drip or
filtration process are obtainable in
many forms. If the filter bag is used
it should be large enough to permit
a thorough flow of water through the
coffee. A teaspoonful of coffee to
the cup of boiling water and the boil
ing water should be poured through
it. Be sure the water has reached
the boiling point. Coffee prepared in
this way may be kept hot for half an
hour without destroying it's flavor.

The Largest Fish Market

FULTON MARKET is the largest
l wholesale fresh fish market in the
United States. 1t was established
more than one hundred years ago and
has continuously and persistently con-
Quoted business at the same location
around the foot of Fulton street, on
the East river water front, below the
Brooklyn bridge, in New York city.
1t is said that practically every i'm
portant shipper of fish has at some
time forwarded his products to this
market which. the records show, ham
died approximately, 1874. 100000 pounds
or $4,000 carloads of fresh and frozen
fish products of LOG varieties, having
an aggregate value of $30.0OO.OOO. dur
ing one recent year. Eighty-two per
cent of this fish arrived by railroad,
as freight or express, at 16 terminals,
while the remaining Is per cent ar
rived on fishing vessels and motor
trucks. @ I
Although the bulk of the salt water
fish came from points on the Atlantic
seabOard, between and including Flor
ida and Newfoundland, large quanti-
ties also came from North Pacific coast
points and some from the Gulf of Mex
leo and California points. The oysters
came mainly from Long Island, the
shrimp from South Atlantic and Gulf
Of Mexico points. Most of the clans
came from points along the Atlantic
coast. In the main, the fresh water
fish received originated in the Canadi-
an and Great Lakes regions, but large
shipments also arrived from the Mis-
sissippi river and its tributaries and
other fish-producing areas in the Unit
ed States.
