Brothers Study Birds

THE Biological Survey has ordered a two
man party into Mexico to study the activi-
ties of waterfowl Of types which breed IL. Cam
ada, but spend the Winter below the Rio
Grande.
The unusual part Of the survey, however, IS
that two brothers, E. A. and L. j. Goldman
constitute the party, the former heading the
expedition. E. A. is fairly well acquainted with
Mexican conditions but his brother, who has
visited every other Western area of any conSe-
quence, has never been below the line
The brothers will spend three months making
their survey.

roni from sticking together or to the
bottom of the pan. 1t should not be
stirred during the cooking process,
since this has tendency to make it
sticky. Do not cook too soft. When
done, drain and then rinse in cold
water. Reheat and combine with
cheese, sauce, meat, or fish.
Baker macaroni with cheese-Cook
one cupful of macaroni and place It
with one cupful Of grated or shaved
cheese or one cupful of cottage
cheese and one pimiento or green pep
per, chopped fine, and slices of two
hard-cooked eggs in alternate layers
in a buttered baking dish, finishing
with a layer Of cheese. Add salt and
pepper to taste. Cut two tablespoon
fuls of butter In small pieces and
sprinkle over the top, then add one
and one-half or two cupfuls of milk.
Cook in moderate oven for about 20
minutes.
Macaroni goulash-Try out three

pound Of diced beef and let 1t brown
well Add two sliced onions, one pint

one teaspoonful of salt, one table
spoonful of brown sugar and one
fourth teaspoonful of chilli powder.

one cupful of macaroni separately.
then pour the meat sauce over the
hot macaroni and serve at once. If
desired. half cupful of dried mush-

cooked, four slices each of red and
green peppers, and some whole to-
matoeS. Fry for about 10 minutes,
then slowly pour in 1la cupfuls OF
broth. Cook over a low fire until the
moisture is almost all absorbed. A
crust will form on the bottom OF the
pan and should be scraped up with a
spatula and served with the rice. Serve
mustard with this rice.
Rice mold-Mix three cupfuls OF
boiled rice with one tablespoonful OF
sugar and one tablespoonful OF
vanilla. Pack in individual molds and
place in the refrigerator until cold.

creamed meat or creamed vegetable,
such as spinach or tomatoes. A curry
is often served in this way.
Rice souff1e-Cook half a. cupful OF
rice with two cupfuls of milk, one
tablespoonful of butter and half a
cupful of sugar in double boiler un-
til the rice is soft, then press through
a sieve. Add four well-beaten eggs

Pour into a baking dish and bake in
moderate oven for is minutes.
Serve Immediately to prevent the
souffle from falling.
Savory Toast.
Quick toasting plus thick bread
makes soft toast. Slow toasting plus
thin bread makes crisp toast.
White bread should be day old
before being toasted. Graham or
whole wheat may be one day or sew

Raisins burn easily, so raisin bread
must be carefully watched and toasted

Conquering Contract

clubs he goes down 450 points. less
100 honors. South is also set three
tricks at her contract Of two hearts
unless West has a mental lapse and
leads clubs originally. 1t is a poor
compromise, therefore, to give up 400
odd points to take a chance on
dubious game.
And the game was extremely du-
bious. In view of North's double,
East didn't see how he could possibly
make the contract. South helped him
slightly by leading heart. From the
bidding a spade might have been
wiser selection. The trick was taken
In dummy with the seven spot. East
led a low spade from dummy, North
played low and the queen held the
trick. At this point East proceeded
to count up three hearts, two spades
and three diamonds-a grand total
of eight tricks. Even granting that
North held all the outstanding clubs,
the jack of clubs didn't seem to offer
any possibilities as the ninth trick.
There was the slight problem Of get
ting back and forth between the two
hands.
Mr.. Aggressive finally decided to
risk his all on the diamond finesse.
He took the king of hearts in dummy,
came back to his own hand with the
ace of diamonds, took the ace of
hearts and then played the nine of
diamonds, overtaking with the ten
in dummy. 1t held! East rapidly
played the king and queen of dia-
monds. and now that his contract
was safe. began to think about over
tricks He led the ace Of spades
his ninth trick.
II North plays a small spade, he
is end-played and has to come to
the jack of clubs in declarer's hands,
giving East an extra trick Mr.. Con-
servative, however, who was heartily
regretting his double, refused to be
trapped. He unblocked by playing
the king of rpades. With a slight
clutching at his heart. he played low
on the next spade lead. South then
claimed the rest Of the tricks, having
nothing but hearts IN her hand.
The Aggressives thus made 200
points-tree no trumps doubled.

Chi|dsAppetite
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

N WE EN- 6ADNGOs
TT SEEMS literally impossible to dis
= courage mothers from using wheed-
ling and rewards to get children to
eat. Once such methods are tried,
they grow like rolled-up snowballs,
and new arts, devices, and bigger and
better rewards must be forthcoming
to achieve the desired goal.
The futility of such methods is OBJ
vious. If the child really has no ap-
petite, because of physical conditions
which need correction, why force food
upon him? If he is overfed and with
out appetite, if he is underfed and his
stomach is consequently shrunk, coax
ing is useless.
Coaxing only distorts the child's
viewpoint about eating. He must dis
cover for himself that good food is
enjoyable, that eating it is pleaSur-
able, and that being hungry is decided
" unpleasant. These are the natural
rewards of eating.
When his mother says, please take
another spoonful of this cereal and
then you can have your pudding" she
not only makes eating cereal an un-
pleasant duty, but she makes the
child's eating satisfaction to her.
This is the angle which invariably
impresses the child. He loses sight of
his own natural satisfaction, and con-
siders that he is doing his mother a
favor to eat the food she prepares
for him. Is it any wonder that he
insists upon exorbitant rewards for
being so considerate?
Children do not all eat well bal
anced meals each time they come to
the table. Any one dealing with flesh
and-blood youngsters knows that they
are very apt to drink too much milk
at one meal and none at all at the
next. Sometimes only the dessert rp-
peals to them, and again they will
make a meal on bread and butter and
apple sauce. If the mother keeps care
ful account of all the foods child
eats in one week, she may discover
that the child does consume the
equivalent OF one pint to one quart of
milk a day, all the eggs, all the vege-
tables, all the fruit sauce, bread and
butter. cereal, and so on that he
should have.
There may be real reasons for ap-
petiteleSSneSs, and / would suggest that
mothers make use of my leaflet,
psychological and Physical Reasons
for Appetitelessness." as q means Of
checking up. Please send a self-ad-
dressed, scent stamped envelope with
your request to this department..

Doubling Low Contracts,

gone down TOO points at con-
tract of one or two, doubled. When,
you lack support for your partners

side strength, your best defense on a
hand is to double. AS far as you
know, your hand and your partners

go anywhere yourself. you should try
to pick up some points by a penalty.

The Old Gardener Says:
gardenmakers

Many gardenmakers have
found it practical to stop culti-
waiting their roses, perennials and
shrubs at this season, and to ap-
ply a heavy mulch, peat moss
being used most often. Such a
mulch retains the moisture and
does away with the necessity of
frequent cultivation. For a year
or two this mulching material
can be dug into the soil in the
Autumn or the following Spring.
but if this practice is continued
too long the ground will become
so porous that it will dry out
more quickly than usual 1t is
always wise to stop cultivating
the roses before the middle of
July, in order that the plants
may have time enough to ripen
up their new wood before the
coming of cold weather.
