Pleasing the Man
BIZ CHLOE JAMISON.

WATCH what the man orders for
" luncheon when he is alone with
the menu card, and you will have some
idea of the meats he would like to
find most frequently at the home table.
Way up on the list would certainly
be baked ham in ell its variations
hot, cold and combined with other
foods. But, you object .. baked ham
is so expensive. 1t is, and it isn't. I
reply. Here, for example, Is a delicious
recipe for baked slice Of ham which
need trouble no budgeteer: In cold water,
soak a slice OF ham one-inch thick for
one hour. Drain and wipe it dry; rub
with little sugar and place in the
bottom of a baking dish and add
layer of thinly sliced raw potatoes
which have been slightly dredged with
flour Add a tablespoonful of minced
onion and teaspoonful OF minced
parsley and pepper to taste. Over all
pour enough hot milk to cover, put
the lid on and bake slowly for about
an hour and a half, or until potatoes
and ham are thoroughly cooked. More
milk should be added If the potatoes
require it, For the last Is minutes of
cooking, remove the lid so the potatoes
will brown.
Ham Rolls.
With thin slices of boiled ham you
can make delicious ham rolls with a
stuffing of mashed sweet potato whipped
with butter, seasonings and little hot
milk; baked beans seasoned highly
with chilli sauce and little table sauce
also make good filing for the rolls.
Spread the potatoes or beans over the
ham and roll like jelly roll. Tie or
fasten with toothpicks, place in a shall
low pan, dot with butter and bake in
moderate oven for about 20 minutes.

Seeds The birds love the bitter tWang
OF the dIupe, and depend upon the
dogwood berries as food supply
through the Winter The berries" are
scattered over a vast territory through
the agency of the birds.
The Towering dogwood does not grow
wild in any other country but ours. and
there was likelihood of its being ex-
terminated in many places until steps
were taken to protect 1t.
Until you have really studied the
tree you do not realize how many In
teresting habits it has. First, 1t
crouches under larger trees in the
woods, then leans out to catch the sun
shine. The flowers are the most in
teresting, as they have evolved a plan
to attract the mining bees to come to
their assistance. No bee would see the
little, inconspicuous, huddled bunch of
true flowers. In the Winter the four
bracts mother them, and in the Spring
these petal-like scales grow so fast that
only the tips are too dry to expand.
These are he peculiar little notches at
the apex when the bract finally lets
60 and exposes the true flowers. The
bracts are merely leaves changed for
the special purpose of attracting the
wee little bee so necessary to the dog
wood.
Madam Andrena and her friends
come after the nectar. They creep
into the tubes, sip the nectar and take
away the pollen. The white bracts
come early and say late. and this Is
why we seem to have dogwood bios
SONS so long.
The wood is heavy and strong. very
close grained, brown, and sometimes red
in color. 1t is in great demand for
cotton-mil machinery, turnery handles
and forms. The persimmon has wood
that is quite similar.
From ancient days this tree has been
planted for decorative purposes. Dyes,
drugs and inks have been made from its
bark The name Is derived from the
fact that certain species of bark was
used to make a wash for NANCY dogs
Hence, dogwood.

hearts. West wisely passed and the
contract was set two tricks, North's
bid Is inexcusable-assuring the part
ner that the hearts are under complete
control. although South has never rebio
that suit. In rubber game South
would have no choice but to pass this
declaration, but in this match point
contest I think South should have
taken the bid to six no trumps in view
OF the higher trick score and the infer
ence that North's first force indicates
either A K @ of diamonds or, If the
diamonds are not solid, the king or
queen, jack of spades.
Observe further inference that Sims
players will get If North originally
passes, South bids a heart, and North
forces with three diamonds. North
shows . hand which most systems
would never pass in any position. South
can really know that inasmuch as
North has neither black ace nor any
part of a club trick. he must have
either completely solid diamonds with
spade trick or sure spade re-entry.
or else, more probably, the king of
hearts with two or more small ones
to make real At. If North's dia-
monds are not solid. it is certain that
he has clear trick outside the dia-
mond suit, and this must be in one or
both major suits. Actually North held
trifle more, as the king of hearts is
rightly assumed to be a sure trick and
re-entry card when the partner has
bid hearts and the @ x of spades
is distinctly a reserve value under these
optimistic conditions though it con-
stitutes no slam ingredient until South
bids no trumps as part OF slam try.

ROF. PICARD prophesies that
In rather short time it will be
possible to climb into q plane in
L New York at IL o'clock noon
and arrive In London for dinner
at the Londoners' usual dinner time,
which is around o'clock.
It took the Pilgrim Fathers rather
longer when they crossed in the May
flower and they didn't get . very
sumptuous dinner when they arrived
here.
do not know whether Prof. Picard
is right or wrong, but certainly man
will soon reduce the time element to a
minimum in his air voyages over the
face Of the globe.
Man discovered many years ago that
life could be heightened, not by ex-
tending its term, but by packing 1t more
full of experience.
The three or four months required
for a Western pioneer to cross the
American continent in q covered wagon
has been cut down to four days by
rail or two and half days by plane.
save the better part of three months. j.
To get the value of that, he has. OF
course, to do something profitable With
the time he thus salvages.
It doesn't seem to me that we are
getting az much value out OF this saved
time as we might.
We appear to be able to find some new
way to squander every hour that we are
enabled to store up because OF modern
inventive genius.
The plane traveller who alights IN San
francisco 2 months 27a days to the
GOODS compared with his pioneer
grandfather-seems to be just as much
in a hurry to start back home again as
he was to start forth on his trip.
And as long as one is constantly urged
on by the idea that he must be rushing
all the time, he cannot get much en-
joyment out of the extra years-time
measurement-that he gains.
We get about three quarters of our
enjoyment out OF our work, and the
other quarter out Of our fun.
Why not, now that faster trains,
faster ships, faster planes give us the
oppo-tunity-why not use the saved
hours for some Of the things we are ac-
customed to say we haven't the time
to do?
WHY not find out more about the
beauties of the world and Of life?
Why not widen our circles of ac-
quaintances. read more, observe more,
learn more?
Our forefathers, who worked from
dawn to dark clearing away forests,
planting crops and fighting Indians,
managed to read and to think and to
plan much more than most Of us do
now.
It Is no compliment to us to know that
we-with many times as much leisure
at our disposal-are still in hurry, and
still complaining because there isn't
time enough.

BIZ FANNY Y. CORY.

MARS.
T s there life upon the great ruby of
Mars that, after such long absence
from Our part Of the skies, has
i returned at last to easy visibility
for the man on the roof, gazing
through his wife's opera glasses? Our
neighbor in space Is 50 similar In size
to us that Utopians are easily placed
there.
Recently reviewed the principal
astro- biological facts concerning Mars.
can be drawn inferentially and subject
to revision from further discovery: A
planet so far from the sun cannot pos
sibly receive as much heat as We do;
and Of what 1t does receive it can make
much less use, for 1t has apparently
little atmosphere left; and it Is our at
mosphere that holds warmth.
Any suburbanite knows that on
cloudy, heavy nights frost never occurs,
but only on clear nights when there Is
great loss of the days store of alb
sorbed heat into open space. Also the
soil or rock surface Of Mars, If latest
theories are correct can practically not
retain heat at all. If our surface were
as poor heat-absorber, Autumn would
last about one week, and from Summer
we would jump to icy Winter soon after
the September equinoxes.
There is probably water left on Mars,
but not enough to make any seas, the
old seas" that the early astronomers
saw being an optical illusion. Zone
| saw so much more when telescopes were
badD But just possibly there Is no
water; the polar SHOWS may be carbon
dioxide snow, substance easily made
out of air in earthly laboratories.

seem poorish, but not impossible
There might be animals; there could
easily be vegetation If there are water
and carbon dioxide. Soil bacteria
could endure the cold of Mars (Which
| they say is about as follows: On a
| Summer day on the Marian equator 1t
would at noon be about as cold as Lon
| don on a gray November afternoon,
| while in Winter the Martian equator
would be as cold as our North Pole, but
without the snow).
What of the famous camels? Alas,
| nobody sees them any more since tele-
scopes got closer and brought the planet
many times as near. There are a few
places on the Photographic maps of the
| planets surface that look like straight
dark streaks crossing each other at
right angles, but they do not make the
| impression of camels on the mind OF
any one who Is not wish-thinking.
On the whole, don't see why the
case for life on Venus is not much bet
ter; her temperature is far more con-
genial; a young planet she still has her
atmosphere; indeed, she must stifle in
a thick tropical blanket of it. Such
conditions make one think more of our
jungles, teeming with life, while all we
know about conditions on Mars remind
us Of the Gobi Desert, terribly dry and
In Winter, bitterly cold.

I watched you soaring toward the sky
And thrilled to think that you were

Quoth I, "and shall add to 1t,
So presently can afford
To quit"
And then learned, with deep concern,
That you, my erstwhile trusted friend,
For one full year had ceased to earn
Your customary dividend.
Each day the market reached new lows,
And, though I searched the city
through,
found that could not dispose

You still were crisp, and new and bright.
And very lovely to behold,
And as alluring, to the sight,
As you had been In days of old.

Artificial Feelings.
! ERTAIN general rules regarding


artificial feeding apply indis
criminately to most babies.
~ The methods advised act as
safeguards against the dis
turbances which otherwise might be ex-
pected to arise from the use of food
which is not the natural one for babies.
One of these rules is to use a good
grade of milk. Grade A pasteurized
milk is suitable to most babies, though
certified milk is the best grade and
every effort is employed to make 1t
the cleanest, freshest, best milk OBJ
tainable. But If it comes from a repu-
table dairy, which is inspected and ap-
proved by alert health departments,
grade A pasteurized milk is safe to use
Grade b milk is for cooking purposes
and should not be used for infant
feeding.
The next insurance against digestive
upsets is to boil any milk, just policy
of security which is vitality important
in Summer. Boiling the milk kills
any harmful bacteria which might have
developed after the milk leaves the
dairy. It also makes the milk easier
for the baby to digest since heat
changes the protein element so that
It is more easily attacked by the diges-
tive juices and assimilated by baby's
system.
In the majority of cases, the most
practical, convenient and economical
formula consists of suficient boiled
grade A milk to furnish baby from
ils ounces to ounces for each
pound of his weight. This means
