SEASON POT-ROAST
With SUGAR AS
WELL AS SALT
Combined Flavors of Sugar
and Salt Blend Deliciously
with Meat

These are days when there are
always bargains on the meat coun.
ter. A lady who bought a chuck
roast for As cents-made tasteful
discovery by cooking it as follows:
Scar and brown both sides of the
, meat in an iron or pot-roast kettle
containing two or three tablespoon
fuls of fat. Then sprinkle top sur
face of the meat with sugar as we'll
as salt. Add about a cupful of
water, then cover the kettle and
cook for an hour. Turn the meat
and sprinkle newly exposed side
with sugar and salt. Continue cook
ing until the meat is tender, adding
Just enough water to keep the meat
from burning. Serve with the gravy
which remains in the kettle, thick

be surprised at the unusual, full
bodied flavor in the meat as we'll as

Cheap cuts of lamb respond to
this seasoning if you prefer that
meat to beef. Vegetables also are
more tasteful when a dash of sugar
to a pinch of salt is added. Most
foods are more delicious with sugar.

Big D0-X Is One Exception

TranSoceanic airpane fights
seem to have lost their lure.
The 1881 crop will be singularly
meager. perhaps nil. a survey of
aeranautical records here revealed
today. Thus far not a single
flier has filed notice he intends
to brave the elements above the

shores.
DO-X Due to Start
A few flights have been planned
from European shores, but Off
cialS consider it doubtful If more
than one or two of them are
started. One exception was that
OF the German DO-X, which
started for the United StataeS
last year but failed to complete
the flight when a wing caught
fire.

Of a transatlantic service.
Italians Talk Flight
There has been talk of a pro-
posed trip across the Atlantic
from Rome to New York, of an
b Italian army group. The matter
has been considered, it was
learned, but no decision has been
reached.
David S. ingalls,, assistant Sec
retary of the Navy for aeronauticS
declared the absence of such
flights could be taken as an indi-
cation of progress in aviation,
,, saying:
"Trans-Oceanic flight by small
planes, contribute nothing to
the science Of aviation pending
4 further improvement of equip
ment, or unless a path is being
blaZed for establishment of a
regular tranS-Oceanic service.
That few if any flights of this
kind are planned for this year
seems to me an indication avia-
tiOn is acquiring increased
sanity"
For several years flying has
been settling down from its
enormous popularity engendered
by spectacular tranSOceanic
flights, and the people are
learning that, while the first
of such flights were valuable,
repetition can provide no i'm
pOrtant addition to aeronautical

result of decline Of per cent

This decline was not due to

The curb market failed to follow

HELD BY STEEL

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S GN.SO.
Without much support from
building construction and the
railroads, and with buying by
the automobile industry less than
expected, steel production held
the gains of the past three weeks
for the country as a whole, being
estimated at 81 per cent of ca
pacity, or the same as a week
ago, according to the weekly Iron
Age summary released today.
Increases of production are en-
phatic at Cleveland, where opera
tions are at 40 per cent, and at
Youngstown, where the rate is
35 per cent; but a decline to %
per cent has occurred in Chicago,
and the general average is pulled
down by poor showing Of others.
The Iron Age composite prices
remain at last weeks levels, with
2.116 cents a pound for finished
steel, $14.96 a gross ton for pig

Ways Of Serving Carrots

Carrots with their rich yellow
color, delicious crispness, and plen-
tiful supply of lime and iron, may
well occupy an important place on
the farm menu, according to Miss
Alma Garvin, extension specialist in
home economics at the Ohio State
University, who says that this veg
etable is also rich in vitamins A, b,
and G.. An inexpensive and easily
prepared food, carrots may be made
delicious part of many meals.
They may be sliced in rounds, cut
in strips lengthwise, grated or
ground. They may be used in sal
ads, alone, or in combination with
variety of other foods, she says.
They are particularly good when
cut into strips and served fresh and
crisp in much the same manner as
radishes or celery. AS carrots are
so colorful, they may be used in
combination with less colorful
foods, such as in potato or cab
bage salad
III carrots are TO be served COOK
ed, they may be left whole, or be
cut into smaller pieces and cooked
on top of the stove in the oven. To
conserve the health building min
erals and vitamins, it is best to
cook them in a small amount of
water for the shortest possible time.
After they have been cooked all the
water should have been cooked into
liciOuS, sweet carrot flavor.

there have been adorned with
clumps Of the shrubs, and the
colors are in sharp contrast with
the otherwise drab surroundings of

is in the yard Of the cottages and is
given preferred position on the
lawns about pretentious homes. Ap-
parently the people in the Mus
kingum Valley admire them too.
About the farms on many hillsides
one finds the lilac at this season of
the year. Grounds surrounding
some of the small industries in the
valley are beautifed with lilac
groups that show excellent care
