Cheese Easily Made.

ACTURE Of American
AVA cheese, the old staple variety, is
by no means an impossibility in the
home. In fact, the process IL rather
simple and requires only little prep
aration. The Department Of Agrt-
culture has issued q bulletin describ-
ing how the process is conducted.
Except for a thermometer, cheese
color and rennet, most any house
owner has all the equipment and ma
terials needed for cheese making. For
example, an ordinary one-gallon tin
pail with straight sides makes first
rate cheese hoop for the or 10 pound
size cheese most people will want to
make. Scrap lumber provides wood
for a press block and lever and
bucket filled with stones or bricks Is
good weight.
After being pressed for is 10 "a
hours, q cheese Is ready for curing.
1t takes about six weeks to produce
cheese with a waxy body and q mild
flavor. For a sharper cheese the cur
ing process goes on three to five months
or longer. The temperature and
humidity Of the curing room and the
care of the cheese while curing are i'm
portant. The bulletin gives SPECIFIC
directions on these points.
American cheese needs no ecomiums
to make it acceptable to most people.
They like its flavor and use 1t for the
sake of variety in the menus. When
they realize its values In calcium and
protein, they depend on 1t as . nutri-
tious food which should appear on the
table with more or less regularity.

= were not so high as they are to-
day; but neither were living condi-
tions as expensive as now; so, con-
sidering both items together. the
teachers are not much better OF now
than they were go years ago. And
this will substantially apply to the
wage-earning public generally-they
get q whole lot and they have to
spend q whole lot. The annual SAL
aries of teachers In 1871 ranged from
$3.50 to $500. except the teachers Of
the male grammar schools. who re-

by making probable the suSpen-

State school. growing out of an
executive veto some months ago
Of $1,266, 500 in the biennial bud

Possibility of o. S. U. closing

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 11.-Aus-

American Zone Davis Cup finals
Of 1936-the matches to be staged
in Los Angeles!
Assurances that such a tennis
classic, first Davis Cup competi-
ton ever staged on the West
Coast, was not only a possibility
but a probability. were brought
here today by Norman E. Brookes,
erstwhile Anzag court wizard and
now head of Australian Davis Cup
organizations.
BrookeS arrived here several
days in advance of his scheduled
departure for Down Under" for
a conference with Perry T. Jones,
secretary of the California Tennis
Association, over the prospects Of
holding the Davis Cup American
Zone tries on the Pacific coast.
"Australia's purpose in chal-
1enging IN the American zone
next year, if we challenge at all,
is to cut down on the extensive
travelling which we have been
forced to do in the past" de-
clared BrOOkeS.
"It would be an ideal cOndi-
tiOn If Cuba, Mexico and other
nations challenging in this zone
would come to Los Angeles for
their trials.
"The finals could then de.
termine wheth Australia
would have the right to play in
the interZOne finals and possibly
= the challenge round without the
additional hardShipS Of travel
ing as q complete team through
