Q. How did Mackinaw coats get
their name?-M. B.
A. The material of which they are
made resembles that of Mackinaw
blankets. The blankets were formerly
distributed from Fort Mackinaw to
local Indians.
@. Why is there no coal between
Pennsylvania and Canada?-G. C.
A. The geologically oldest rocks in
which coal beds are known TO occur
are Of Mississippian age. The coal
measures o. Pennsylvania are of
Pennsylvania age. The Carbonifer-
GUS formations, which include the
Mississippian and Pennsylvania rocks,
extend to Northern Pennsylvania ana
beyond them to the north are only
Devonian rocks, or those Of greater
geologic age, none of which are coal
bearing.
@. What kind of food is dobe?--J. L.
A. Dobe is fried plantain. Ripe
plantains are selected, cut into thin
sections, powdered with sugar and
fried in butter.
@. Please give some information
about the Morris Arboretum in Penn
sylvania.-G. S. E.
A. Bequeathed to the University OF
Pennsylvania by the late Miss Lydia
Thompson Morris, this 170-acre
arboretum comprises two family
estates. Compton. of 95 acres in Chest
nut Hill, and Bloomfield. 75-acre
farm adjoining and just over the
Montgomery County line. Both over
look the Whitemarsh Valley. For
more than 40 years Miss Morris and
her brother, the late John T. Morris.
gathered rare and beautiful shrubs
from all parts of the world and
planted them in the grounds. The
resulting gardens and woods are
among the loveliest in the United
States. The bequest provides for the
development of the arboretum and
for botanical research and instruc-
ton.
@. I notice that some writer states
that one reason for the rapid spread
of the starting and English sparrow
in the United States was that some
of their natural enemies were not
brought with them when they came
into this country. What are the ma
tural enemies of these two birds?-
H. j.
A. Among their enemies may be
mentioned any Of the good-sized
hawks, the little owl. the weasel and
the gray squirrel. Mammals such as
the weasel and squirrel attack the
nests especially. Several types OF
birds, which are natural enemies of
the sparrow, but not of the Startling.
because of the latter's greater size
and pugnaciousneSs. are the rock. the
magpie and the jay. Neither bird
had any internal parasites and: the
fact that both species took up their
residence in or near cities leSSened
the number Of natural enemies which
they had had in England. -:
@. How early were waterworks con-
structed?-F. A. B.
A. Waterworks structures have ex-
listed from the earliest periods of civ
iliZation. and remains have been
found in many prehistoric ruins. Those
of Lake Moeris, in Egypt, are believed
to date from 200 BIC. These we're
the largest reservoirs in the Nile
Valley. In India waterworks and res
ervoirs were in existence centuries be-
fore the Christian era. There are also
numerous biblical references to such
structures. The water supply Of Rome
was one of the marvels Of ancient
times.
O. Is there time when galloping
horse has all of its feet of the ground

A. There is one phase in the gall
lop when the animal is entirely off
the ground. with the four legs hexed

Representative Louis Ludlow of In
diana. energetic Democratic member
of the House from Indianapolis, has
been at considerable pains to ascer-
tain the sentiment Of the Governors
of all the States of the Union on the
direct primary" He has reported to
the House that the Governors are as
whole strongly in favor Of the pri-
mary system as opposed to the old
convention system Of nominating
party candidates for Office. Mr.. Lud-
low was actuated to make this can
vass of the Governors because 1t has
been said that Indiana would lead q
movement away from the primary and
back to the convention. Mr.. Ludlow
said:
I'm taking this Nationwide refer
endum. my purpose was to bring out
in bold relief the true status Of the
primary In America. Only one soli-
tary Governor Of q State that has
the primary expressed himself in op-
position to that method Of making
nominations. and that one is the Gov
ernor Of Michigan. With that ex-
ception, sentiment among the Gov
ernors Is unanimous. Every Demo-
cratic Governor who expressed his
views was for the primary and against
the convention system.
THE general opinion Of the Gov
ernors, as expressed in letters re-
ceived. is that repeal Of the primary
would be . reactionary, backward
step. The Governors Of the various
States are thus on record as being
Overwhelmingly In favor Of the pri.

Mushroom Sauce

Canned or fresh mushrooms
may be used. Wash fresh mush-
rooms, separate caps from stems,
trim the stems, and cut into
pieces. Cook / pound of mush-
rooms in 2 tablespoons of but
ter in a covered pan from 5 to
10 minutes. The heat should be
moderate. When cooked tender,
pour over the steak and serve.
When mushrooms are broiled
with the steak, about five min
utes should be allowed for their
cooking. If they are brolled as
a vegetable to be served either
by themselves or on toast, serve
with softened butter and chop
ped parsley.
Certain types Of fish are well
suited to broiling. Salmon and
mackerel are varieties that con-
tain enough fat to keep them
moist during the cookery. There
are varieties that need to be
basted or to be cooked with thin
strips of bacon across the top.
Whitefish is one of these types
but is delicious when basted
with butter during the broiling
process.

Rare or Medium

In ordering your meat for
broiling purposes, be sure that
the steaks are cut between u
to 2 inches thick. This gives
those thick juicy steaks that
are especially desirable if you
like your meat rare or medium
done. For lamb, the chops
should be about three-fourths
of an inch thick.
There are four kinds of chops
to be ordered. They are named
from the way they are cut.
Thick lamb chops cut across
the loin are called English
chops, but if the loin chops are
cut with the kidney they are
kidney chops. French chops
are a choice type. They are rib
chops with the meat scraped
from the end of the rib bones.
A boneless chop made from the
shoulder is called a Saratoga
chop.
So next time you hear your
butcher talk about English or
French lamb chops you will be
able to speak the same Ian
guage.
BY timing your steak accord
ing to its thickness and the
degree of heat applied, you can
put your meat under the broiler,
turn only once and serve it hot
direct to the table. The follow
ing table has been worked out
for timing medium, rare and

By Direct Heat

The Department of Agricul-
ture has done extensive expert
ments in meat cookery and
found that steak broils best
when 2 to 3 inches below the
flame. They give the following
advice for cooking the meat:
"Select one of the tender
steaks from ~ to 2 inches
thick. Trim the steak of excess
fat and wipe it off with a damp
cloth. A steak may be broiled by
direct heat or it MAJ be pan
brOiled in a skillet. To brOiI by
direct heat, grease the rounds
Of rack, lay the steak on it,
and place over live Goals, or un-
der an electric grill, or the flame
Of a gas Oven..
"Preheat the brOiIer for 45
minutes with the oven regulator
set at 500 degrees. Place the
brOiler rack far enough from the
heating element (about 312
incheS), SO that the top side of
The Washington times., 1935-09-13

the steak will be nicely Drowned
in about One-half the cooking
time. In this way only one turn
ing is needed. A roast ther-
mOmeter may be used to tell
accurately when the steak is
done. For medium rare the
steak is removed when the ther-
mometer registers 81 degrees
Centigrade. The thermometer
is inserted horizontally before it
is put in the oven.
BEST results are usually OBJ
tanned by leaving the door open.
Scar on one side and then turn,
being careful not to pierce the
brown crust. When both sides
are scared, reduce the heat, and
turn the steak occasionally until
cooked to the desired stage"
Seasoning with salt and pep
per should be done after it
comes out from the broiler. A
bit of butter adds to its taste,
also. Then serve Immediately
and garnish with parsley.
To broil lamb chops, have
chops cut uniform in thickness.
The fell should be removed. This
is the thin papery substance
over the outside. Place the chops
about 312 inches from the flame.
If you are broiling double chops,
let the fat side brown first,
then turn and let both sides be
nicely Drowned.
While we are talking about
broiled steaks, we should also
include the recipe for Mushroom
Sauce. This makes the perfect

lamb is cut in the form of a
steak or chop, there is practi-
cally no part of the lamb that
may not be broiled or pan
broiled. Loin, rib and shoulder
chops and steaks cut from the
leg are all suitable.
Ham and bacon are the pork
