Ry GILBERT SEH.DES

Evidently Mr.. Henry Ford prefers dictatorship to the
dole 1t is not that he has expressed preference for
Mussolini Macdonald; he has simply gone his
way and announced that 'next year, every man with
family who is employed at the plant will be required to
have a garden of sufficient size to supply his family
with at least part of his winters vegetables, he will
find himself out of job" Mr. Ford has never been
to consult the sensbilities of other peoples when
he wanted to pay $6 or 81 day as minimum wage
he did not ask his competitors how they felt about it.
And that he wants gardens, he'll have gardens, or
else .-f

A Good Idea
Behind Mr. Fords order lies his idea of the factory of
the future, which is sound and interesting Hav

work by reducing hours and by dividing the labor of

A Meat Loaf Cuts
 High Cost Of Living
Offers Two-Purpose Dish By Being Served Hot for
 Dinner and Cold for Supper

One way of cutting down your food costs is to serve a meat loaf. Your butcher will tell you that housewives themselves are the cause of the high cost of meat. They demand certain special cuts and because each carcass affords only a limited number of those popular cuts there Is much waste, and in order to make a profit the butcher must charge sufficient amount 10 stand the loss on the discarded portions of the carcass. For a meat loaf you can use cheaper cuts of meat. Maybe you will run into bargain at the meat market and find small chunks of two or three kinds of meat which can be com bined into a delicious meat loaf, favored with onions, peppers and carrots.
 A meat loaf Is really q two-pur- pose dish. A common and success full comb. ation consists Of veal. pork and beef which produces tasty and wholesome meat loaf. It may be served hot for dinner or cold for supper. If there are q few slices left over from the hot meat serving at noon add them to the platter of other cold cuts for sup per. Cold meat loaf with home made chiIi sauce and other condi- rnents is the basis around which you can build q good Fall supper menu for your family.
 The meat loaf will be the aristo- crat of any menu when 1t Is dressed up with potato puffs or stuffed to- matoes aB suggested in the follow ing recipes.

TWO FLOURS FOR
 THE BEST BAKING
Bread and Cake Need Two Distinct Kinds Says
 Noted Expert
DIFFERENCE IN GLUTENS

Flour isn't just four. and for
 best results in baking the right
 flour, with the right gluten, is nec- 1 essary. Telling also of the science
 of four in thickening and dredg-
 ing, Beulah V. Gillaspie writes in McCalPs magazine:
 Experienced housewives have proved many times that the new cake Hours produce fuffier, finer textured cakes and that the alI-
 purpose (family) Hours are thor oughly satisfactory for thickening, dredging, binding, and general baking.
 "A solid, substantial article like | bread needs a substantial type of gluten to hold the dough together and to give 1t shape during the long process of mixing and knead- ing, rising and baking. A very light product such as bake, how ever, which is quickly mixed; raised by the quick acting leaven- CTS such as baking powder, soda, or beaten egg whites; then popped into the oven at once for rapid baking, does not need q strong gluten.
 Commercial bakers use for bread the types of flour that con- tain q high percentage of gluten and If we are baking bread reg ularly, we shall do well to follow their example. But if our baking of yeast raised doughs is confined to quick rolls or a loaf or two of fancy bread, we shall find that an all- purpose (family) four-which is mixture of wheats-wilf give us good results, besides making it. self useful for practically all other purposes. only for fine cakes shall We need q special flour.
 Ut always pays to use cake flour for more ambitious cakes. 1t con- tains exactly the right kind and amount of gluten, and it's color and texture are ideal for our purpose. Ordinary flour Is creamy-white in color. Cake flour is snowy-white. Ordinary flour feels coarser to the touch If you rub 1t a little between your thumb and forefinger. Cake flour feels as smooth and satiny as cornstarch. If you pick up hand ful of each and squeeze 1t tightly, ordinary flour falls apart at once leaving no imprint of your fingers. whereas cake flour more or less sticks together and shows plainly every mark of the hand.
 "The difference (except for the gluten) is in the milling. Cake flour Is much more finely milled than the all-purpose blends. This fneness of texture in cake flour is of real importance because the finer the particles, the more quick ly and completely your dough or batter will abstrb heat and mois- ture--a very important consider ation in cake-making.
 "Whether for bran cookies, or cornmeal mullins, or rye bread, or rice cakes, or fritters--the recipe calls for "enough white flour to bind" Gluten again. Wheat flour is the only flour that contains enough gluten to make other in- gradients stick together in a batter

Public Enemy"
 Comes to Lyric

That rackete teering, though some times profitable, is unfailingly haz- ardous is brought out starkly in The Public Enemy" the Warner Bros picture which comes to the Lyric theater tomorrow.
 In the pursuit of their occupation two young beer rracketeers DOT trayed by James Cagney and Ed ward Woods, meet their end at an early age This is in keeping with the statement made by Chief of De- tectives John Egan, of Chicago. fol- lowing the famous St Valentines day massacre. He estimated that the average life of a gangster is between thirty and thirty-one years. This es- tmate was made on the basis of some five thousand gangster deaths during the ten years following the inception of prohibition.
 Of the seven killed in the massa- ere, the oldest was thirty eight, while the youngest was twenty mine. 1t is rarely that a racketeer remains in the business long enough to ap- proach middle age, and very few at- have been successful. That is almost as dangerous move as double crossing.

Douguas Fairbanks, Jr, has been steadily climbing into :. popularity and his millions of fans will be happy to see him so perfectly in command of himself as the. hero of "Chances'' which is his first starring role, opening four-day engage ment to-day at Warner Bros State.
 Young Douglas plays the part of Jack Ingleside, officer in the Brit ish army during the World war. We see him first through a London fog through which he is groping with Tom, his brother also an off, cer-both homeward bound on a short leave In the dimness they collide with the girl who is to be the means of all the happiness and tragedy which is to come to them in the future-for both love her.
 Jack. who first tells her of his love; gives her up when he finds that Tom also cares for her. The girl in anger at what seems to be his indifference, promises to marry Tom when the war is over--only to find that her heart belongs to Jack. The tragedy of the affair Is height ened by the fact that Tom never knows-until the night of the en- emy bombardment-his last night the truth about the two he loves most.
 Rose Hobart plays the part of the girl with fine understanding. Anthony Bushell is the ill-fated brother. The cast includes Holmes Herbert, Mary FU1-bes. Edmond Breon. Harry Allen, Jeanne Fem wick. Edward Morgan and Tyrrell Davis. The screen play and dia-

"Ingagi" at | State Theater
Eight Reeler Depicts Life of
 Belgian Congo

Makers of wild animal hunt pic lures will be hard put to it to fol low successfully "Ingagi," the film which comes to the Warner Bros strand theater to-day for four days It is in eight reels and is declared to be one long series of thrills from the first moment to the last.
 The picture is an amazing record of the expedition of the safari headed by Sir Hubert Winstead and Capt Daniel Swayne, into the Belgian Congo and the district where lie the great mountains known as Mikeno, Karisimbi and Visoke, on the slopes of which live the giant anthropoids. gorillas that seem nearer human than any other living beast.
 The most startling feature de- picted in this picture sponsored by Congo Pictures, Ltd. is the dis covery of what may easily be creatures that are half human, half ape Apparently also there is a tribe of natives. lowest of all in the scale of humanity. scarcely as intelligent as the apes. who each year after an elaborate and hide ously weird ceremony. give one of the women to the gorillas. That these women are taken as com panions by the great apes is claimed and some of the pictorial evidence in "Ingagi," which means Gorilla. seems to bear out this be- more than the usual share of ad-
 In other respects, Ingagi indi- cates clearly that the expedition had more than the ueual share of ad- venture with wild animals. Despite that the wild life of Africa is said to be rapidly disappearing, there seemed no dearth of it so far as the Winstead- -Swayne safari was concerned.
 They had encounters with ele- phants. rhinos, leopards and lions and among other things caught an immense python measuring 65 feet in length.
 The picture is supplied with sound effects, giving the jungle voice at last upon the screen.
 William J. Campbell assembled and edited the immense amount of exposed film brought back from Africa. Adam Hull Shirk wrote the titles.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies this unusual feature picture that has been wit messing capacity houses throughout the nation. Another Gift Night party will be held on Tuesday evening and again on Friday even ing in conjunction with a deluxe double feature program on the screen.
