"Oh dear, oh dear! It's house
cleaning day
Near dinner time, too, and no meal
on the way"
Well, here are SOME things you can
fix in a jiffy
They're wholesome and good,
though they may not be spiffy.
Though house-cleaning is hard
work, and always will be, there
are several tricks which will make
it easier, both for you and for the
family. Don't tear up the entire
house the first day. You will find it
easier and more pleasant to take
one room at time, and finish 1t
completely before taking the next.
This gives you variety of work
through the day, and there Is a
minimum amount of confusion.
This way, too, you can check off
another room or two at the end of
each day, and feel that you are
making real Roadway against the
accumulation of dirt.
Wise housekeepers protect then
hands with ordinary gloves or rub
Der gloves if woodwork requires
washing or furniture needs polish
ing.
Planning meals whose prepar-
alton can be made with the mini
mum amount of effort, saves both
mum and worry. Half ham.
baked the day before the cleaning
starts will stand you and the fam
lily In mighty good stead until the
upheaval is over. If you do not
wish to have that, plan a casserole
one-dish meal which can be made
in the morning and left in the re-
frigerator until time to bake it.
The following menus are good for

with this terse but descriptive
phrase?
Small wonder the harrassed
housewife feels like throwing UP
her hands or inviting the critical
males to step into the kitchen and
do a better job.
It might never enter her mind
that perhaps they are right. Per-
haps they are bit tired of looking
at the same old dish of carrots or
spinach, or lima beans or for that
matter any Of the other standbys of
the vegetable .kingrom.
Omit the vegetables
Certainly not, for vegetables are
among the most important items
in the diet. They are rich in Vita
mine, mineral salts and other ele-
ments so necessary to keep the
body fires burning.
No meal is properly balanced
without its generous quota of veg
etables. A solution to the problem
must therefore be sought in an
other direction.
One of the chief reasons for the
unpopularity for many vegetable
offerings lies in the unattractive
way they are often prepared and
served. Much of the fairness of
taste can be overcome by careful
attention to the three essensial
seasonings, salt, sugar and pepper.
Sugar is important because 1t helps
to blend the other seasoners and
restore something Of the garden"
flavor.
To achieve variety is not so diff
fcult. Almost any good cook book
will offer q number of tempting
from the usual boiling
or Dreaming.
Here is suggestion for carrot
dish that will surely tempt the]
most jaded appetite.
Candied Carrots
Cook carrots in boiling water to
which tablespoon of sugar has
been added until partly tender. If
carrots are large, cut in three
slices, small carrots, cut in half
then place in a baking dish and
sprinkle the carrots with salt. pep
per and granulated sugar. Dot gen.
erously with butter. Bake until
nicely Drowned.

In a recent article by DR. +. w.
Tanner in which he said:
Commercial Gamers have long
since faced the fact that unless
canned foods are properly pro-
cessed, this organism (Ciostridium
botulinum) may survive and be
responsible for some terrible out
breaks of botulism. Home can
ners should be willing to capital
lie on this information. They
should be impressed by the fact
that practically all Of the outbreaks
Of botulism in the last six or seven
years have been due to improperly
processed home-canned foods. and
that not one single outbreak Of
botulism has been caused by foods

Restaurant Tips
for Housewives
Menus Offer Many Sug-
gestiOns When You
Dine Out

Everyone likes to have some
thing new for lunch or dinner once
In a while just to take the mono
tony off the old standbys. Many
women who have meals to plan
make a practice of looking over
restaurant menus when their huS-
bands take them out for an occas-
ional dinner away from home and
often they are reminded Of delect-
ably dishes which they had for
gotten all about. One of these
which is found frequently on menus
and which is q great favorite with
most men is short ribs Of beef.
Usually they are cooked with diff
ferent vegetables and thus they
are real time savers.
The selection of short ribs de-
serves special attention. This cut
comes as q rule from the plate, but
the rib ends of the prime ribs also
are used The cut Is made either in
short strips parallel to the RIB bone
or 1t is cut across the ribs in strips
measuring three or more inches
wide. The latter is a good way
to have the cut made II the meat
Is to be rolled and praised. The
bone should be cut If It Is too long
for proper serving.
The short ribs from fat beef
have a covering Of suet, part of
which may be removed, II so de-
sired. Short ribs are especially
good for stews and braising, be-
cause the bones give the meat an
especially fine flavor.
A favorite recipe for praised
short ribs with vegetables, recently
sent out by the Institute Of Ameri-
can Meat Packers, follows:
Allow three or four pounds Of
short ribs for a family of five or
six. Dredge the meat with -four
seasoned with salt and pepper.
Clean and cut into cubes or slices
one small turnip, two small car
OTIS, one small stalk celery, and
one medium onion.
In the pan or casserole, heat two
tablespoons of fat, preferably drip
pings. When hot, add the meat and
scar on all sides. II the ribs have
been rolled, scar on the outside
surface. When well Drowned, pour
the meat the prepared vegetables
and two cups of hot water or
stock. Cover the casserole with
tight lid and allow the contents TO
simmer about three hours or until
tender, or bake in a. slow. oven.
Less time may be needed II the
ribs are cut into pieces suitable
for serving.
Add more water If necessary and
remove the cover during the last
half hour to allow meat to brown.
Whole potatoes are delicious If
cooked with the meat. Forty min
utes before the meat is finished.
lay around it whole peeled pota-
toes. Turn once or twice while
cooking in order to brown on all
sides.
A Dutch oven, a large casserole
or fireless cooker will give the
best results and, moreover, will
make possible a saving in work
and fuel. 4

The Ark and The Dove Of Maryland

accommodations on the Dove must
have been very similar to those on her
consort.
After their encounter with De la
Rade's fleet nothing more is heard of
the two ships for six years. But as
Calvert called them the ''two ships of
mine" they must have been in his SER
vice and very likely made at least one
trip between his Newfoundland colony
and Merrie England each year. But
in 1888 they were destined to play an
important role in American affairs
and to aid in giving birth to one of the
thirteen original colonies of the Unit
ed States. In this six-year period
George Calvert had died and his old
est son, Cecil Calvert, the second Lord
Baltimore, had acquired the charter
of Maryland. On June 20, 1852, this
charter was confirmed and published
and the new Lord Baltimore at once
set about his preparations for colon
ization.
The Ark and the Dove, most GER
tainly his property now, having been
part of his fathers estate, were fitted
out at his personal expense, said to
have been about 100000. His two
brothers, Leonard and George, were to
go with the expedition, and Leonard
was to act as lieutenant governor I'M
der him. Despite the opposition of
the planters in Virginia, who seeming
ly wanted this new world to them
selves, the Kings Council ordained
that
Whereas, the good ship called the
Ark of Maryland of about $50 tons
whereof one Lowe is master, is set
forth by our very good Lord, the
Lord Baltimore, for his Lordship's
plantation at Maryland, in America,
and manned with about 40 men.
For as much as his Lordship hath
desired that the men belonging to
his said ship may be free from
press or interruption, these are to
will and require you to forbear to
take up or press any~-the officers,
seaman, mariners, or others belong

Dove with tons and tonnage" bur-
den of 60, would have tonnage"
figure of as. This would give her a
keel of AZ feet, a beam of Is, and a
depth of feet, while her length from
stem to sternpost would be about 81
feet.
Calvert wrote that the Ark carried
"a guns. AS many as IA of these
might have been in the upper deck,
6 to 8 on the lower deck, and probably
as many as A upon her quarterback.
1t is possible that on her voayge to
Maryland some of these gun ports
would be left empty, but this seems
hardly likely, as they were uncertain
just what kind of reception they
might meet with on those strange
shores, and would be likely to sail
armed to the teeth.
Her rig would be three masts and a
bowspirit, with square course and top
sails on both fore and main. The miz-
zen would be lateen with a square
topsail above it. On the bowsprit
there would be a spritsail, with a
spritsail topsail ON a small mast
standing upright at the bowsprit end.
There might be topgallants on the
fore and main, but these would possib-
ly be left behind. 1t is possible, too,
that the spritsail topsail and mizzen
topsail would be left unrigged. The
tops would be round, and there would
be four of them, one on each mast
and one on the bowsprit. There would
be no reefng gear anywhere. The
courses would be fitted with detach-
able "bonnets" fitted by means of a
lacing. There would be no staysails
and it is very unlikely that there
would be stunsails. All the braces of
the foremost went to the correspond
ing stays of the mainmast about half
way along between the two stays and
thence down to the deck. One cannot
be certain of the Doves rig. She
might have been a two-master, but
they had very small three-masters in

time by another British ship before
his great ship" the Ark, could come
up with him.
The Ark then returned to a char
Dor called Trepassee," where they
found six French fishing vessels with
their holds laden with the seasons
catch. These they captured and sent
to England "for the hurt they have
done u.s." This latter procedure on
the part of the Ark was more than a
little irregular, for neither the Ark
nor her consort was furnished with
letters of marque and had no legal
right to make prizes of French ships
or of ships of any other nation. The
hundred men sent on this expedition
were probably recruited from English
ships lying off Avalon, as the regular
crews of the two ships would scarcely
have totaled half that number.
Calvert describes one of his ships
as of $50 tons and "a pieces of ord
nance. This was, of course, the Ark.
The other, he says, was of 60 tons.
He furnishes us with no further des-
cription of either ship. The admiralty
records describes the ARK of Mary
land" as of $50 tons, and the Dove as
of so tons. Father White, the priest
who came with the Ark to Maryland
and who took it upon himself to be the
chronicler of the voyage, says the
Ark was a "shipp as strong as could
be made of oake and iron, 400 TUNE,
kingbuilt."
Not another scrap CT description Of
either ship has come down to US, and
even the tonnage figures vary con-
siderably. But Father White was no
seaman, so his tonnage figure for the
Ark IN hardly be relied upon. Thus
it sc MS best to believe that their
ownc knew more about his ships than
anyo else, and that the Ark was
of a ,ut 800 tons burden, and the
Dove Of 60 tons.
With these figures to guide us, and
from our knowledge Of the build and
