If I we're a magician. I'd make
q chart Of meals that would turn
out q totally different dinner 365
times q year. Since I'm not a ma
gician. / can only advocate over and
over again intelligent seasoning,
varied WAYS OF cooking the same
things and the wise use Of substi-
tutes.
II food that usually Is served on
a platter comes to the table In a
baking dish interest is aroused.
don't you think? Meat baked with
clever seasoning has an entirely diff
ferent flavor than the same meat
fried or even broiled.
Surprise the family by emitting
potatoes and serve a creamy rice
pudding for dessert.
1t isn't necessary TO serve *
pensive, out-cf-season foods TO have
different meals. The coed root vege-
tables such as carrots and turnips
are Savory ard appstizing and the
finest chefs In the land appreciate
and meke full use Of the full
flavorCs onion.
Baked Steak
One and one-half pound sirloin
steak, 4 medium sized carrots, 2
teaspoons sclt, u teaspoon pep
per, 4 good sized onions, 2 small
turni IS.
Trim steak and dredge with flour.
Put in q baking pan and cover with
carrots and turnips which have
been pared and cut in dice. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Pour a few
tab,espOoniuls Of water over vege-
tables. Bake In a moderate even for
forty-five minutes. Peel onion and
cut in halves. Dip in melted butter

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Don't wear that tie, Bobbie. IT'S
such a dark day I think tile red one
would be nice and CHEEKY"
Il hate that old red tie" said
Bobby. but he wore 1t.
Here, take this umbrella. IT'S
going to rain"
Jaw. mother, boys don't carry

pouring. Anyway, Max rides a dozen
Of Us home in his truck when it's
bad. He's awful nice"
You're not riding in that dirty
Old truck any more. Take this UNI
9rella and walk like a gentleman"
Bob took the umbrella, hid Il
under the baTberry and went off
whistltng. At noon II was TEEN
ing" and Max had grippe and
wasn't at the store.
IL was a case of wits now but still
me was glad he hadn't brought that
green silk umbrella to be kidded
about. He didn't mind rain, but he
minded being scoiced about soaked
clothes.
Ingenuity Put 70 Test
He and half the school stood
huddled under the canopy and in
the hallway. He saw the principal
going up 70 the second floor. He
knew she always kept a rubber cape
hanging In her office and she never
went out to lunch. He followed her.
Miss Wilson. do you need any
errands done7"
"Why no. Robert. Not on q day
like this" And then she followed
his gaze. Her eyes fell On the cape
and she smiled to herself. Walt.
! believe / have q letter. Do you
happen to pass the pcst-office7"
"On, yes AL. - O.Iy about three
blocks-I near yes'm."
"All right then. And do take this
cape and wrap all around you. !
wouldn't want you to get wet doing
an errand for me-"
Bob, this umbrella Is all mud
Gy and where on earth did you get
that cape7" his mother challenged
He had been afraid to hide 1t and
decided TO face the music. Anyway
this would be a better tune than II
he had ruined his clothes.
So he tod.
bob Miller. You're the limit. But
I'm glad you had sense enough 20
get home dry. This afternoon ]
want you 10 wear overshoes."
He'd been afraid OF that. "Tt'S

1T isn't any such a thing. Put on
dry shoes, and Ill fix these wet
OneS."
Just q Guessing Game
Mother, I want a sllcker and cap
and boots"
"Your birthdays coming"
Don't forget"
~And IL I give you that youTl pull
q long face and fuss because you
didn't get something else"
mo I went. Do you know, i
guess whatever you says all right?
] guess you knew all about that
rain"
eff it's taught you something TO
disobey. I'm glad 1t happened"
-But, nom, how did you know II
was going 70 rain7"
Il didn't" she laughed giving
him q hug. we we're both guess
ing"
well. anyway, you know q lot. I
guess I'd better listen"
Bob, do you want to take off
that tie?"
yeah, can I? I hate 1t some
thing terrible"
x think / guessed wrong. too,
Bob. Suppose after this We listen 10
each other"
These two will get along. II takes

HUGE GRAIN WAR
WAGED BY NORRIS
Cash Market Supremacy
Involved in Fight of Chi
cago Sportsman.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 1O-James E. Nor
ris, Brusque, ready-tcneued giant of
sports and business, was embroled in
a new battle today At stake was
control of the R1scnbaum Grain Corp,
and with it, technical supremacy in
the cash grain market.
The battlefield was the same one
in which Norris gained possession of
the huge Chicago STAG. .um, sports and
convention arena On Chicago's West
Side-the Federal Bankruptcy Court
Aligned against the La Sale street
veteran of 80 years tracing wars were
the Continental Gain Corp, by fact,
and by rumor tie Cargill Elevator
Co. of Minneapolis and New York
and the Roselbaum family, whose
gigantic grain nm 4ast April fled
petition for reorganization under sec
ton 77-B of the national bankruptcy
act.
Should Norris, president of tie Nor
ris Grain Co. gain approval OF his
| offer to Federal Judge William H.
4AOAly w bdhC OhCI iLJC 4NOOCAlOdulIl
company, he void control storage
space for additional millions of bushels
of grain.
Traders said this would place Nor
riS in Stragetic position for hedging
F, operations and possibly result IN eS-
tablishing him as ole of the Nations
largest cash grain Operators.
| Norris was the fret to submit an
offer for control of The assets Of the
S2,000.000 Rosenha'Im Corp. The Con-
tinental Grain Corp followed with a
bid.
The Cargill Elevator Co. of Min
neapolis and New York was reported
to be seeking control of the 100000
bushel Chicago elevator of the North
western Railroad, leased by the Rosen-
baum Corp, and considered the richest
plum in the Rosenbaum assets.
The Rosenbaum family has not
given up. This week Judge Holly
authorized the Chicago Elevator
Properties, Inc, a subsidiary of the
Rosenbaum Corp. to apply to the
IScCOllSlTuCIlOl FlIldnCe corp. 1Or q
loan of more than S2,000,000.
Norris. the son of a grain dealer of
st. GATHERINGS, Ontario, started his
grain career 80 years ago with Richard
son & Co. Five years later he formed
his own company and built 1t into one
of the leading cash grain companies
in Chicago.
Norris was one of the organizers
Of the enterprise which resulted in
construction of the Chicago Stadium
at cost of approximately $6,5OO,0OO.
When the depression threw the
stadium into the bankruptcy courts
Norris obtained control of the enter
prise for a reputed S250,0O0, fraction
of its original cost.
Norris also controls the Olympia
arena at Detroit. another huge sport
ing plant and is reported to own an
interest in Madison Square Garden
the worlds most famous fight stage
He is the owner of the Detroit Red
Wings, National League hockey team
and of the Detroit Olympics in the
International Hockey League.

LYONS CONFIDENT
|0F TRADE BENEFITS
Prime Minister and Wife
Leave After Visit to
White House.
BY the Associated Press.

by LIlt hSSOCldtcu Eleos'
Joseph Aloysius Lyons, portly prime
minister of Australia, once dubbed
the wild man from Tasmania" left
Washington last night after celebrat-
ing Mrs. Lyons 38th birthday ami
versary, confident he had furrowed
the American commercial field for an
increased yield in Australian trade.
While the curly haired premier Of
the commonwealth down under"
was expressing himself as in agree
ment with the New Deals foreign
trade policies, Mrs. Lyons talked
about her II children, who range IN
age from about 20 months" to 49,
years.
Their names reveal their Irish an
cestry-Desmond, Sheila, Enid, Kath-
leen, Mora, Kevin. Brendan, Barry,
Rosemary, Peter and Janice.
This manifold mother, plump and
blond, had seven children when she
herself leaped into politics to please
her husband, who was leader Of the
Labor party in Tasmania.
She finds guiding her large family
a pleasant job, although she con-
feSsed, Il once thought making little
boys trousers a terrible job"
The prime minister spoke his op-
timistlc outlook fer Australian-Amer-
ican trade after tea and dinner with
President Roosevelt at the White
House, an hours three-cornered dis
cussion of Australian-Am af-
fairs with Secretary Hull and Sir
Ronald Lindsay, the British Am
bassador, and courtesy calls on Vice
President Garner and Speaker Byrns.
The Ottawa agreements, which
grant preferences to British Empire
trade, would not, he said, be an OBJ
stacle to improved American-Aus-
tralian trade, because an agreement
could be reached on numerous articles
without coming into conflict with the
provisions of that agreement.
Emphasizing that he had presented
no concrete proposals. the prime min
lister said it was probable that Sir
Henry Gullet, Australian minister for
trade, would enter into more detailed
discussions with American officials in
the near future.
