Crops Good

DALLAS. July l0.-By far the
most striking feature OF this months
crop report. gathered by the depart
ment OF public relations OF the
Southland Life Insurance company
is the fact that yields OF all crops
now harvested are far above those
produced in other years, both In
quantity and quality. In addition,
indications are that they have been
produced at the lowest cost on re-
cord. This. OF course. Is especially
true OF oats. this crop having ex-
ceeded all expectations and being
without any question the greatest
crop Eve produced in Texas. The
valuation or this single grain crop Is
estimated va-iously from SIS. 1000. 900
to $4,000. 900.

Modern Art, which he declared Il
be the story of pioneers in art
was the subject of the brilliant lee
ture given yesterday afternoon fol
the Ten Thousand club by Ear
Rowland celebrated California ar
fist and lecturer.
1t was the story of these courag-
eous, intelligent pioneers: Cezanne
Gauguin, Van Gogh. MatiSse and
Picasso who blazed the way for the
artists OF today, that occupied his
remarks.
Modern art is an old story, ne
declared, going back to the stone
age and the beginning of time, and
presenting a different understand
ing OF art. Art is more than beau
ty, and more than the copying Of
physical form, it is the Intelligent
mans free expression of truth in
a form satisfactory to esthetic
sense.
Differentiating between art which
portrays simple truth, such as the
lovely little landscapes of Corot and
the paintings of the great Spaniard.
Valasquez, and art which expresses
profound truth, such as Whistler's
portrait of his mother, which is
more than a portrait, expressing as
it does the profound truth Of all
the qualities Of motherliness. Mr.
Rowland went on to discuss the
immediate history of modern art.
Beginning with the impression
lists, Monet and Manet, he briefly
discussed their efforts to break
away from the Academic rules
which bound art, and their attempts
TO paint the impression they re-
ceived at the first glance, which
has largely to do with the effect
of light on the object, rather than
careful drawing. Their experiments
resulted in the beautiful canvasses
Of great luminosity.
At the same time that impression
ism developed, post-impressionism,
which was concerned with the first
impression plus the assurance of
reality, the post impression Of the
object, developed. The three greet
pioneers of this phase of art, were
Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin.
Discusses Masters
Mr.. Rowland discussed briefly
each Of the artists: Cezanne, the
most famous of the nineteenth CEN
fury artists; Van Gogh, whose IN
usual and brilliant color power, and
unrestraint gave an abundance ana
vitality to art: and Gauguin, who
was a master in portraying tropical
atmosphere, the exotic, clumsy,
heavy atmosphere expressed by
heavy, clumsy, figures and crude.
primitive color.

NAME of various sorts is in
~ keeping for Thanksgiving
time and may even grace the
Thanksgiving feast. Game birds
especially have a season in most
states and are available in the
markets.
Rabbits and squirrels are COM
mon game foods and can be cook
ed IN many ways. Fricassce,
stew, pie and roast all are pOpu-
lar and easy 10 prepare.
Yenison. properly cooked, is one
of TIE most delicious of the wild
meats. Very easily digested. it is
a particularly suitable food for
the eonvalescent.
Although newly-killed deer has
a sweet flavor it is quite tough
and must be allowed to hang from
one to two weeks before cutting
into joints and steaks. This is
known as "ripening" and is the
way all beef is treated in order
TO make it tender. The meat OF
course must be kept in very
cold place.
In selecting a cut. the saddle
or loin is considered the choicest
of all. Plenty of fat is an indica-
ton of good quality, in fact, it can
hardly be too fat.
Here Are Cooking Methods
The saddle usually is roasted
and should be cooked rare. The
haunch also is often roasted, but
it usually liked well done. Steak
should be cut about half an inch
thick and is cooked like beef
steak-brolled. pan-broiled or
fried. 1t is preferred rare.
Any cut OF yenison is impoved
il allowed to stand in q marinade
of oil and vinegar for several
hours or over night before cook
ing.
CurTant jelly is traditional 20
serve with venison. 1t is often
used for basting a roast and is
added to a delicious sauce to serve
with steak.
The cooking of venison re-
quires different methods than for
ordinary meats. Either a saddle
or haunch should be larded or
rubbed with melted butter before
putting in the oven. After il has
been in the oven for about half an
hour the heat should be reduced

point. Allow 20 minutes to the
pound. Thus a four-pound roast
would need one hour and so min
utes for roasting.
Avoid Over.rarenesS
Game birds are cooked in a
number of ways and while they are
usually liked rare. care should be
taken that they are not too rare.
The smaller-sized ones are hroil-
ed. either whole or in halves, and
served on toast. The larger ones
are roasted like young chickens
and served in much the same way.

OF course, any size can be dis
jointed or cut in halves and COOK
ed en- casserole.
The usual savory stufiinG used
for domestic fowls is not liked in
game birds. An onion. apple. a
few uncooked cranberries, celery
and butter-any of these mate
rails is dropped inside the bird
before roasting to give flavor and
richness. The onion or apple or
whatever is used is not eaten but
is removed before serving.
Guinea hen. although not a
game bird. has q "gamey" flavor
and is roasted like pheasant. An
onion. a few stalks of celery and
two or three tablespoons butter
dropped inside either guinea fowl
or pheasant before roasting gives
a delicious favor. The stufing is
not served.
The slightly fshy t5ste common
TO wild ducks can be overcome BY
rubbing them with a cut onion
and putting few uncooked cram
berries in each duck when roast
ing. Wild rice is an excellent dish
to serve with wild duck.

VISITOR is BEATEN
AND ROBBED OF CAR
Gives Strange Couple Lift,
Suffers Fractured Ribs and
Gets AZ Surgical Stitches.

Forty-seven surgical stitches, several
fractured ribs and the loss of his auto
mobile were the price paid by q visi-
tor to the Capital early today for TAX
ing two strangers for a ride in his car.
The police are looking for man in
uniform of the Marine Corps, and a
woman, who are alleged to have driven
on with the car after attacking the
driver and leaving him unconscious
beside the road.
The beaten man, patient in Casualty
Hospital, is william B. Lumsden, 26
years old, of Raleigh. N. c., who drove
/. to this city. on business for q Rich
mor1d, Va, electrical firm.
Found Unconscious In Street.
Lumsden was found unconscious on
Branch avenue southeast by William
Lane, 1924 Fifth street southeast, and
Gus Elgin, Seat Pleasant. Nd and
taken to Casualty Hospital, their report
being the first intimation police received
of the affair. The North Carolinian
regained consciousness after reaching
the hospital and was able to tell his
story to Detectives T. G. Bragg and H
e. Brodie.
He said he was standing in front of
the Hamilton Hotel, where he was regis
tered, about 30 o'clock this morning
when the man in uniform addressed
him, pointed TO young woman stand
ing nearby and asked If he would not
like to take ride with them.
The trio boarded Lumsden's car and
drove from the hotel. Lumsden was
able to recall that the man in uni i.
form had a pistol, and police think it
possible that Lumsden was beaten
with it.
Lumsdens car is missing A pistol
was found on the ground near the
wounded man.
1t is said by the police, that the
weapon bears very distinct finger prints
and the prints may furnish clue to
the identity of its owner. Physicians
at Casualty Hospital examined the
wounded man and reported finding
fractures of several ribs, in addition to
the numerous cuts and bruises to his
face and head.
