Hints To The Carver


Preparing a Chicken for Fricassee
QUITTING up chicken for a fric-
assoc is not a difficult job il
proper tools and procedure are
used. Get a butcher knife with an
S-inch blade and a one-piece bake
lite handle that is easy to grasp,
and can be immersed in boiling
water without damage. The stain
less steel clean blade must be
sharp. very sharp. A dull knife that
will not hold its edge makes the
work just that much harder.
Cut the legs and wings from the
chicken and then sever them again
at the joints. Do not force the
blade, but use a drawing stroke
and seek out the joints rather than
try to cut through bone. Take the
meat from the breast in pieces of
suitable size, pry the wishbone
away from the breast with its at
tached meat, break the ribs out
ward as for broiling and cut into
sizeable pieces. This saves quite a
bit of meat along the back of the
fowl. "The part that goes over the
fence last" the gizzard sliced, and
l,he heart are usually included in a
fricassee. --.

N. Y. Stocks
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, July 22.-Highly
erratic price movements prevailed
on the stock exchange in the short
session today in volume that ran
at times at a 100000 share rate
for a Saturday.
A smart recovery came before the
close as shorts covered commit
ments, fearing to remain in the
market over the weekend when
anything might happen" However
the close was irregularly lower.
Sales totaled 100000 shares, the
third largest Saturday in history. 1t
was exceeded on May 81 this year
when turnover was 4,3ll $40 shares,
and on May 3, 1890, the record
short session, when sales were A.
867 $50 shares. Sales a week ago
totaled 2,242,460 shares.
Dow Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial 8847, off 0.42,
railroad 44.32 off 0.5O, utility 1886,
off 074
The opening was irregularly high
er followed by a rally all around
led by rails which profited by rise
of nearly 10000 cars in the load
ingS report for the week ended July
is. A crash in wheat and rye at
Winnipeg coupled with another ral-
ly in the dollar set off further SELL
ing before the end of the first
hour.
The rally was impressive in many
issues, Du Pont sold down to 6lR
and then jumped TO CTS, where 1t
was up rs. U. S. Steel rose from
SOS to around 54, against pre-
vious close of 52ls; Auburn recoy-
cred a point of 4 point loss; Al
lied Chemical made up a point
loss; American Telephone reduced
by several points an early loss OF
more than points.
There were many instances where
bids were lacking. Case which did
not sell in the last three hours yes
terday came out at 72l2 off 5l2 and
then failed to sell again.
Stock exchange officials did their
utmost to keep traders appraised OF
the markets fluctuations. Sales
were omitted except where they
were 5000 shares or more. At the
outset blocks ran up to 25,000, the
latter in radio corporation.
The so-called wet group met fair
ly good support in the stock and
curb trading. National Distillers
rose sharply, eased to point loss,
and then recovered the decline.
Rails also came back to small net
gains. Most of the gold miners were
up on further talk of free gold
market being formed General Mo-
tors and Chrysler met good demand
in their division. Oils were steady.
Coppers were steady. Silver firmed
up on word that nine nations had
arrived at an agreement to pur-
chase the metal and hold it off the
market.

SILVER GROUP
IN AGREEMENT
BY HERBERT MOORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


Copyright, 1888, by United Press
LONDON, July %. - Nine ma
tions, producers of silver or hold
ers of silver bullion, signed a four
year silver control agreement at a
secret meeting late today in the
suite of Sen. Key Pittman, Dem,
Navada, American silver expert at
the world economic conference.
World economic conference dele
gates of Canada, Mexico, Bolivia,
Peru, Spain, India, Australia and
China signed in addition to Pitt
man.
The agreement is to run for four
years from January l. The neces-
Sary ratifications, before the agree
ment can be binding on the gov
ernments concerned, must be de-
posted at Washington not later
than April l, 1884.
The agreement binds the Indian
government not to sell more than
100000, 900 fine ounces of silver dur
ing the agreement IS life, with an
average annual quota of 35,000,00
ounces.
The Spanish government is not
to sell more than 100000 ounces
annually. The Chinese government
is not to sell any silver resulting
from demonetized coin.
The governments of Australia.
Bolivia, Canada, the United States,
Mexico and Peru undertake not to
sell any silver and aggregately to
purchase 35,0O0,000 fine ounces an
nually from their own mine produc-
lion.
This amount would be iinpounded
in their respective treasures to be
used for currency purposes, either
coinage or currency reserves.
Conclusion of the agreement was
regarded as a personal triumph for
Pittman, who had battled continu-
ously since the world economic con-
ference opened to get the holding
countries to agree to limit sales of
surplus silver and to get the pro-
ducing countries to buy an amount
equivalent to the amount of the
three holding countries, thus &C.
tablishing price stability.

suffered from Nazi activities engag-
ed the attention today of George
S. Messersmith, American consul
general, and Consul Raymond H.

First they sought removal of the
government edict against the Jew

for some concession from the police

possible danger to the state. 1t

Secondly they hoped to obtain

to leave the country without un-
dergoing trial on a charge that he
consorted with Communists who
were trying to organize their dis

Thirdly they sought punishment

injured Philip Zucherman, a nat
uralized American in the fur buSi-
ness at Leipzig. In hospital here
a week, zucherman still was in
serious condition. MesserSmith was
promised the attackers would be

MINERS GOING
BACK To FARM

WASHINGTON, July %. UP
President Roosevelt today ordered
Secretary of Interior Ickes to un-
dertake the expenditure of S25, ,000,-
900 in the transfer of miners and
others from over populated indus
trial areas to subsistence farms
where they may find new means
of livelihood.
The executive order inaugural
ing the administration IS back to the
soil movement was accompanied by
another setting aside $20,000,000 for
purchase of forest lands in further
ance of national recovery.
The $20,000,000 has been avail
able in the treasury since March
81 awaiting administration decision
on the method and agency of ex-
penditure. Today's order trans
ferred the fund to the war depart
ment which is executing under Rob-
ert Fechner, director of the admin
istration'S reforestation program.
Mr.. Roosevelts back to the soil
program involves a redistribution
of population unprecedented in the
United States. 1t is designed pri-
marily to relieve idle whose chances
of unemployment in their chosen
work are unlikely.
Coal miners we're the most nu-
merous of these groups. 1t was es-
timated that upward of 100000 idle
miners never again will have an
opportunity for full time work in
the pits. The problem was compli-
Gated by reluctance of miners to
abandon their underground vocation
even after years of unemployment.
