RICK, Md, May 4.
MountaineerS, irate because they
have been ordered to move from
their homes to make way for a
park site, were blamed today for
forest fires that have burned over
more than 1000 acres near here.
Five blazes which started sinful
taneously were brought under con-
troll last night after hundreds of
men had battled for "a hours.
State forestry officials declared
the fires were of incendiary origin,
and stated they were positive they
were started by mountain jewellers
who have been ordered to evacu-
ate the area.
More than 300 acres of the
Frederick watershed area were
burned last week, and this fire
is also said to have been of
incendiary origin.

By this time the recipe file or 1n- teresting dishes during Lent is apt to be pretty well exhausted. As there is still some time before Easter 1t might b ewise to make a fresh start and look around for some new and different ways to serve the rather restricted foods of the Lenten season.
 Perhaps the favorite food is fish Undoubtedly is has been served in- numerable times but when dressed up a bit and served in another style, 1t more than answers the call for tasty dish. Just because it has been used a great deal in no ex- cuse for dropping fish from the menu. It is a food of much nutri- tional value and does not cause so much strain on the food budget as do other high protein foods. Besides being rich in this important mus cle and tissue builder, fish is a good source of vitamin and min- erals. Some fish are also high in fat. Seafoods are particularly notable for their iodine content, fact of great importance to the people liv- ing in those regions of the United States where there is great preva- lence of goiter. Goiter is due to the deficiency of iodine in the fods from the soils of those regions Modern, efficient refrigeration makes it possible for fresh fish to be purchased practically anywhere in the country.

Easter Sunday dinner is the high spot of the Easter season and roast lamb is the high spot of the Easter dinner. Fortunately, there is a number of lamb roasts from which to choose-all the way from the opu- lent crown for the elaborate dinner right down to the stuffed breast for the thrifty budgeteer. There are lamb roasts suitable for the large family and for the family of two.
 An ideal lamb roast is the boned and stuffed shoulder. The dressing increases the number of servings and boning makes it easy to carve. The lamb shoulder roast shown in the illustration is filled with ground lean lamb. The broiled oranges add gay and festive color note which is in harmony with the bright yell lows and oranges of spring flowers.
 Perhaps one of the reasons why lamb plays so important role in the Easter menu is because it goes SO well with all the new vegetables and fruits which are beginning to make their first welcome appear ance.
 The three menus given here are

Fish FavOrite on Most Menus -E Eggs Also Advisable at This Time of Year Advocates Democrat Expert

Eggs are another favorite at this time of the year. They, too, are an excellent protein food. Besides pro- vidtng this floor for growth they are rich in minerals. The iron in egg yolk is in a particularly valu- able form and the quantity com- pareS favorably with that in other foods which are considered signifi- cant sources of iron.
 Cheese is as important as fish and eggs in the diet both from the standpoint of flavor and nutrition al value. Cheese is a concentrated form of one of the most important foods in the diet. Milk contains more of the needed nutritive ele- .ents than any one food and in the making of cheese those elements are preserved and concentrated. Its strong flavor makes 1t practical as substitute for meat. It gives, how ever, a much better return in nutri- tive value for the money expended and is particularly valuable as source of calcium in the diet ot .udlts who have not acquired the important and needed habit of using milk freely.
 wa these three foods as basis for Lent l dishes, menus of interest can be readily planned. Here are g few recipes which may be helpful ir suggstin gto you new ways to use these foods as the main dish for a meal.

 Hot Cross Buns.
 For many decade did the streets of old England resound to this cry of Hot Cross Buns for Good Friday. Brought to the door or peddled at the curbstone by vendors. who carried them in huge square baskets-piping hot from ovens where the sign of the cross had been indelibly stamped on them the buns were indeed almost "home- made"
 Today, except in sentimental sec tionS of the country where, in memory of the old custom the house-to-house vendor still makes his Easter pilgrimage, bakeshops set Hot Cross Buns in big trays in the windows, certain we cannot pass them by. Nor do we un- less we have made up our minds to make batch of those buns for ourselves.
 How good they are! How deli- cious and tender and tempting, when concocted according to the following recipe:
 HOT CROSS BUNS
 1 cup scaIded milk
 tablespoon sugar
 yeast cake
 cup flour
 2-3 teaspoon salt
 IA cup butter
 tablespoon lard
 1-4 cup sugar.
 Grated rind 1-2 lemon
 1-2 cup entrants
 Flour
 Add one tablespoon sugar to milk, and when lukewarm, add yeast cake, broken in pieces. Cover and let stand in warm place for 20 nlin- utes. Add one cup flour, and the salt. Cover and let rise until light. Work butter and lard until creamy and add one-fourth cup sugar, gradually, and lemon rind. Com- bine mixtures and add flour to make a stiff dough, about one and one-half cups. Cover, again let rise, add currents and enough flour to make a soft dough. Cover, again let rise, shape in the form of large biscuits; arrange on buttered sheet one inch apart, cover, let rise, brush ever with yolk of egg diluted with one tablespoon water, and bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F) for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and gaEnish top each with cross made wi,h ornamental frosting forced through a pastry bag.
