PLEASING THE MAN
Two Recipes for
 Chicken and Lamb
Rr CHInE LAMIsON

By NhLlOE OhMh0OSN
 Chicken Fricasee is a favorIte dish in most every home; and ir most of them 1t is a white fricasec, made with milk or cream. For change try browning the chicken and steaming it in it's gravy. Men are especially fond of chicken when it's prepared that way.
 Brown Chicken Fricassee
 Have the fowl cut as for white fricassee, In a frying pan place two or three strips of salt polk and when hot, put in the chicken, leaving plenty of room between pieces. Cook until each piece Is rich brown on both sides; remove the meat and keep 1t warm. Make gravy with the drippings blended with 2 tablespoons of flour and Z cups of boiling water, stirring until perfectly smooth. Season with salt and pepper and return the chicken to the pan: replace cover and sim mer slowly until the chicken IS dcne. Add l teaspoon onion juice and serve at once, with nuny mashed potatoes.
 .Broiled lamb chops are as stan dard as steak-but make diner ent appeal when the browned chops arc cooked on wheels Of canned pineapple. Pan broil tkc chops until they arc well browned on both sides; sprinkle with salt and pepper and place each chop On a wheel of drained pineapple. Return to the oven and broil lO minutes longer, basting the chops several times during the broilins. Sin onto a hot platter, garnlsh with parsley and serve at once:
 With the lamb chops and pine apple, serve creamed new potatoes very excellent ones at fair price are now in most markets. Battered spinach or peas or broc- coli would make the perfect green vegetable. A jellied tomato salad fer the next. course. and banara sfrortcake for dessert.

DEATH CLAIMS
 MIKE MARTONE
Former Crosby Athlete Succumbs to Brain Tue
 nlOr in Hartford

Death lwast night claimed Michael Mike" Martone, 9, of 323 Bishop street, former co-captain of the Crosby high school football team and former player on the Connecti- cut State college freshman team. A brain tumor, resulting from a foot ball injury sustained few seasons ago, was the cause of death. A deli- cate operation was performed at St. Francis hospital, Hartford, by Dr. Richard c. Buckley, brain specialist, but it failed to save Martone's life.
 The body was removed from Hart ford to this city and funeral services will be held here.
 Martone was member of CroS- by's state championship eleven of 1880, acting as co-captain with George Mulligan, now of Catholic university. Playing on that same team were Eugene "Ike" Kern and Alb.e Burke, both of whom played with the Colgate team this past fall.
 Martone also played baseball at Crosby and was first string catcher on the team. His football ability won him statewide fame, and he was named to almost every 1930 all- state high school team that was se- lected.
 Graduating from Crosby in 1881. Martone entered the state college in 1883, but had to retire in his fresh- man year.
 He is survived by his parents, Rocco and Lucy Lucien Martone; four sisters, Phyllis, Catherine, Shir- ley and Theresa, and a brother, Bruce, all of this city.
 The funeral will be held from the home on Saturday morning at 8:3O o'clock to St. Thomas church where solemn mass of requiem will be celebrated at g o'clock. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery. Friends may call at the home this evening.

 In 1917 Williams College con- ferred an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree upon Rev. Lewis.
 Now let me give you a more intimate description of Rev. Dr. Lewis. He always wanted to be a railroad engineer with his hand on the throttle of a giant locomotive. I say always" be- cause he still cherishes that de- sire. His hobbies are fishing and horseback riding. He loves a lively baseball game, and heart fly enjoys 8 good game of bridge. He delights in reading high class detective stories while reclining in bed. He wears glasses while reading. His fav- orite food is tender chicken with ice cream as dessert. He likes motion pictures of the kind characterized by the late Will Rogers. He has been abroad and on one occasion flew from Paris to London. He has also been up in airplanes in Maine and only recently en- joyed 8 ride with Clarence Chamberlain, world famous pilot, here.
 Rev. Dr. Lewis has served as commissioner on the Board of Public Charities and has been chaplain of the police and fire departments for years and years. He is 8 member of the Graduates Club of New Haven, the Williams Club of New York, Waterbury Club, Rotary club and Liberty Lodge of Masons.

 But to return to Rev. Dr. Lewis-He always has cheery greeting for friends and neigh bors. He is a genial and ap- proachable man. He has im- pressed the entire city with his nobility of character, the sweet ness of his nature, his wonder full patience and breadth of wisdom His is true hu- manity-a desire to use his life for the benefit of mankind. There's 8 warmth in his firm handclasp and an responsiveness to his smile that beSpeaks of genuineness. The esteem and even affection of his neighbors is deep-seated and universal. He is a friend and neighbor to all creeds and classes-a perfect representative of God, Divine Master.

NEW NEUTRALITY LAWS EXPECTED
Congressman Smith Guest Speaker at UnicO Club
 Explains Plans

Congress will have three courses to follow in framing the neutrality stand of the United States when it convenes next month, Congressman J. Joseph Smith declared last night in a talk before members of the Unico club at The Elton. The pres ent neutrality law, he pointed out, expires on February 18th. Congress will have to choose between con- tinuing the present law, extending and including loans and credits to belligerent nations or limiting trade with warning nations to quotas.
 Congressman Smith stated that the United States has no commits sion from God to police the world and therefore should not apply sanctions or sit as judges upon acts of other nations. He explained that the existing neutrality act giving the president the power to declare an embargo of war materials to any warning nation is the first law of its kind ever passed in the United States. If such legislation was in effect prior to 1914, he said, there is possibility that this country would not have become involved in the World War.

MULLED WINE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

To make good mulled wine, allow me to say Nine eggs you must break and then do not delay But into bowl let the whites all be dropped Whilst all of the yolks into another are popped With switch let the whites be beaten about Until like the froth of the sea they come out; To the yolks then attend, and beat them also, And at them three spoonfuls of sugar just throw. Now into skillet it's quite time to pour Of some recognized brand bottle or more; And if of your head you may have any fear. Add one pint of water and mind it is clear The water and wine must be kept on the lire Till they reach the boiling heat you require; Then the yoks and the whites please beat as pe1ore half-pint of water OCT them gently pon Mix all well together until they combine And then turn them into the skillet of Wlne; Stir about brskly and pour in pitcher And grated nutmeg, twill make it much richer Drink it off hot and I'll bet any odds You'll own it's drink that is fit for the gods.
