 Mock Duck.
 A mock duck of lamb makes an unusual and emonomical main dish for the small family. It is made from a cut known as the English shoulder, the leg bone and part of the shank making the neck and bill. It is a most life-like imitation of it's namesake. Wrap the ducks bill" in fat salt pork. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a hot over (480 degrees F.) and scar for 20 to 30 minutes. Reduce the tenn perature to 300 degrees F., and continue cooking until the meat is done, allowing about 35 minutes to the pound.

Everyone enjoys good food, "sood things to eat,' but good food does not necessarily mean rich or particularly expensive connections. Good cooking is the first essential of good food and the skill of the cook plays an important part in the cost of meals. The woman who can take the simplest sort of mat rials and cook them to perfection always can serve a tasty meal.
 Next in importance to good cooking comes consideration for family tastes as a. means toward economy in meal planning. Adults whose food tastes are definitely formed cannot be made to eat foods they do not like. The house. wife who tries to do this finds wasted food on her hands. This in turn means wasted money, time and effort to say nothing of dis gruntled feelings. Children whose tastes are forming should be taught to eat a wide variety of foods.
 one of the surest and easiest means of economy in meal plan ming lies in the regular use of sea sonable foods. Although the mar kets offer all variety of produce throughout the year, the cost va ries at different seasons. Long dis tance shipping. involving the nee essity of refrigeration or applied heat, naturally costs money and increases the price of foods ship ped under these conditions. Whlle these foods are desirable from the standpoint of good nutrition and the variety they add to the diet
 z .A..ta practiced cheaper fruits and veg etables can be substituted.
 Spcnd Time to Save Money
 Very often economy in one di- rcction means increased cost in another. The cok who would save money usually must spend time. This extra time must be spent 1 nthe kitchen or in trip to the market. In either event phe vii find her time well spent, for a trip to the market will prove not only worthwhile saving Of money but an inspiration for plan ming menus.
 Extra cooking and baking done one day makes 1t possible to do less tho following day. This Is an economy of both time and fuel For instance. it takes compara- lively little more heat to cook eaoueh potntoes for masking for the immediate meal and creaming for the next dnv than it does to cook only for tho moments need It'H decided saving of time to yinke enough snlnd dressing tO last for several meals A roast 'iniA, enough to serve hot ono day. slice cold the next and finally

Lansing, Mich.-The war against unemployment is another world war, according to Roland Haynes of Washington, regional advisor to the Clifford commission for unem- ployment relief.
 "On the American front" Haynes said in an address here, 'the forces against the depression are slowly organizing for permanent relief. England and Germany are using palliatives."
 The advisor said America is giv- ing jobs instead of doles. "This policy" he declared, ''maintains morale and means useful improve ments for the sums expended"

M stands for a great many things. In the Christmas dinner it may stand for menu or it may stand for meat, the first thing we think about in planning the menu. Miss Inez s. Wilson, home econ- omist, gives some suggestions for the meat in the Christmas dinner.
 Christmas Roast Beef.
 Select an or 10 pound rib roast; the ribs should be left in. Score the fat in diagonal lines each way. In the center of each dla- mond made by scoring, make an incision just large. enough to hold a small onion. Dredge with flour, season with salt and pepper. and place in a roasting pan. Put in a hot oven and after 15 minutes re- duce the heat and continue roast ing for about 2 1-2 hours. Replace the onions by uncooked cranber- ries to give a festive Christmas touch. Serve on a platter with Drowned potatoes. Garnish with parsley.
 Little Roast Pig.
 Order a four or five weeks old pig. Thoroughly clean and wash the pig both inside and out, taking care to cleanse all openings. Dry it well with a coarse cloth. Rub it inside with salt and pepper and outside only with salt. Stuff 1t with dressing, and sew into its or iginal shape. Wrap salt pork or buttered paper around the ears and tail to keep them from charr- ing. Brush the pig with melted butter and roast in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) until tender. This will require 3 or 4 hours. As soon as the roast is done make two deep incisions with a small pointed knife into each side of the head (where the incisions will not be visible), so that the steam can escape, and the roast will thus re- tain its shape. Also remove the salt pork or paper from the ears and tail. Brush the pig with a

Bananas when properly ripe. are valu-
able food for growing children and for those
who are underweight and wish to gain, &C
cording to an oral statement March g. at the
Bureau of H-me Economics, Departm ent OF
Agriculture. Nutrition Investigations show
that bananas should not be considered
forbidden fruit but should be given credit
for the high food value they represent, 1t
was stated. The following Information was
furnished by the Bureau: IS
The food value of bananas depends on
their sugar content, and their vitamins and
minerals. They are source Of vitar1ins A,
B and G, when they are raw, and they con-
tain iron, calcium, and phosphorus. When
not fully ripe, they have a high percentage
OF raw starch which changes, during the
ripening process, into various sugars.
Statements that bananas cause digestive
disturbances probably refer to the fruit that
Is not fully ripe-since the raw starch found
In the green and Semi-ripe fruit is slow and
difhcult to digeSt-however, after the starch
has changed to sugar during the ripening
process they are easily digeSted. Some
digestive disturbances associated with eating
bananas are caused by swallowing them
without thorough mastication. The sort OF
slippery texture is not conducive to chewing.
Banana pulp may be mashed with fork
before serving TO very young children.
It Is easy to select or identity ripe bananas
the skin is yellow with perhaps some traces
OF brown. There is no green, even at the
tips. The fruit should be soft but firm. and
the seeds are black. Wien bananas are
ripe the pulp is mealy and can be well
chewed-it is also at its best flavor Green
bananas can easily be ripened in few days
II they are kept at room temperature. They
should never be stored in the refrigerator
because the cold makes the skins darken
rapidly.
Bananas served raw Ct course retain all
their natural food value. In this way they
can be used with cereals. gelatin, milk,
salads, and other fruits. They can be baked
with the skins on or of-the skins help
to retain the vitamins and minerals, and

Even under-ripe bananas can be baked and

 Judge Russell, who will next month swear in one of his sons as governor of Georgia, condemned birth control literature as "cess- pool" associated birth control with bolshevism and free love, and de- clared vehemently that God himself told Adam and Eve to procreate children.
 Mrs Sanger became visibly irri- tated by her opponents reference to 'cesspoof' literature, and in her closing argument read two letters from women suffering from over birth of children as typical instances of conditions which needed regu- latink.
 Judge Russeirs arguments. she said, were "absurd'.

 The shooting of Ponchinock by
 Rusiawey was one of the greatest
 surprises the police have experi-
 enced in some time. The two men
 were very close friends and had
 made profitable business in con- ducting restaurant on North Elm street. Their place of business was
 one of the chief gathering places for Russian residents of.the city.
 There had been no established mo- tive as yet. It Is believed, however, that the partners quarreled ovr Rusiawey's lengthy "spree" and the fact that the revenue was not as large as expected.
 Tn the presence of several wit nesses, Rusiawey obtained a shot gun and fired shot that almost de- capitated his partner and friend. He made no attempt to escape. While
 spectators hurried out of the res
 taurant and attempted to avoid be- | ing implicated. Rusiawey went to the telephone and notified he police. He waited in his place of business until Patrolmen Charles McWeeney
 and Thomas Grady arrived and took him into custody with the death- dealing gun. E Rusiawey claimed that he didn't thing the gun was loaded. He only wanted to scare his friend, he has claimed. When he came out of the

HIGHWAY DEPT
 NEW QUARTERS
Will Be Fitted Up and Oc. cnpied Next Monday
 Morning
FACING CAPITOL AVENUE

Headcuarters offices of the Con-i necticut highway department will be moved oyer the week end from their present location at 12 Washington street. Hartford. to their assigned location in the new state adminis- tration building, facing Capitol ave- nue, Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald announced today.
 It is expected that the omce equipment will be sufficiently Tn or der by Monday morning that all de- partments will be able to resume business at close to normal speed and efficiency. Teiephone service will be established and the departments private branch exchange will be In operation at the start of the busi- ness day on Monday.
 Telephone service will be main tained at the Washington street of- flces from 8 a. m. until 12 noon on Saturday. Because of the upset con- dition which will prevail on that morning, however. Commissioner Macdonald urges that all visits and conferences with department execu- lives be deferred until Monday and, if possible, until Tuesday.
 The highway department VIII pc housed on theefifth floor of the ad- ministration building, occupying Q suite of offices on the Capitol avenue and Washington street sides. It will occupy all of the Washington street side with the exception of a suite at the south end of the build- ing which has been reserved for the athletic commission: and all of the Capitol avenue side except two rooms at the east end.
 For the present. persons doing business with the highway depart ment will use. the Washington street entrance, ascending to the fifth floor on the southwest elevator.
 Only the divisions of the depart ment now housed at 12 Washington street will be moved into the ad- ministration building at the present time. The moving of other divisions including the Hartford division en : gineer, the right of way division and the landscape division will be trans ferred later. Meanwhile, they will continue business at their present locations.
 The business of moving the high way department Is a sizeable task. as may be readily understood when the innumerable records, maps. blueprints, plans, specification charts, files and a myriad of other department requirements are con- sidered. The packing of records has already delayed the work of the de- partment more than a full weeks time.
