How To Cook
Meat

Certain types of meats are
rather neglected in menu plan
ming. SweetbreadS, liver, kidneys
and heart are wholesome, rich in
iron, copper and phosphorus, and
are inexpensive. Because of their
delicate distinctive flavor little de-
tails Of handling are important.
The skin should always be re-
moved from the liver before cook
ing, and the temperature should
be kept low. The fatty tissue
should be removed from the kid
neyS before cooking and the thin
encasing membranes from the
sweetbreads and brains. Brains,
sweetbreads and kidneys should
be soaked and parboiled to obtain
a pleasing color and flavor.
Dreaded Liver
1 1b. liver. cut in h-inch slices

Serve Dessert
At Start

The vogue for serving dessert
before the bridge party or COM
mittee meeting is gaining in popu-
larity. It puts everyone in a re-
ceptive frame Of mind and it Is
a sensible practice, too, from the
hostess viewpoint. She can give
her attention to the preparation
and serving after the refresh
ments have been served and can
enjoy the party or meeting to the
fullest extent.
Simple desserts perfectly pre-
pared are most acceptable. Apple
dumping with hard sauce or
cream puffs filled with ice cream
and covered with chocolate sauce
always rate high

II It is served at a small dinner
party it is wise to get only a
center slice cut one-inch thick
and bake with q proper sauce to
develop a rich flavor. Certain
tart fruits make q suitable base
for SIlck q sauce.
II yout sAmily is Of larger size
1t is much more sensible to get q
ham that weighs 10 pounds. Bake,
1t in q slow oven and served for
more than one occasion. Or for
Q party, 10 to 12-pound ham
will serve 18 to 20 generously.
Retains Flavor
In baking q whole ham, 1t Is
best to not remove the rind as this
lessons shrinkage and retains
flavor.
On the market now are certain
types prepared and seasoned so
that they may be placed in the
oven, wrapper and all, and baked
until done. For a whole large
ham this time will be about 81
minutes per pound. For q smaller
ham Cup to IL poundS) the time
win be IS minutes per pound.
When the ham is done, take
fronl oven, lift off the rind, score
the surface and dot with cloves,
rub mixture Of " cup Of brown
sugar and / tablespoon of flour
over the ham. Then put back in
the oven set at 400 degrees to
brown for 20 minutes.
The very simplest recipe for
preparing q center slice Of ham
Is to bake with pineapple juice.
Have the butcher cut the ham
ut least an inch thick. Place in
the baking dish, add Q cups of
pineapple Juice and bake in a
moderate oven 375 degrees for !
hour.
A sauce made from pureed
dried apricots with liquor in
which cooked brown sugar and
cloves can also be used instead of
the pineapple juice with good re-
suits.
There are. many ways to util-
iZe leftover ham. Combined with
mushrooms ham makes q very
delicious party dish.
Ham With Mushrooms
cups Of diced boiled ham
2 cups Of macaroni
2 egg yolks
u cup Of fresh mushrooms
cups Of milk
3 tablespoons Of flour
2 tablespoons of butter
! teaspoon of minced onion
Brown the onion and mushrooms
in the butter. Add flour and then
milk and cook until it boils. Add
the diced ham, macaroni and
bring to the boiling point. Season
with salt and pepper. Five min
uteS before serving add the beaten
egg yolkS, and cook. Serve gar
niShed with green pepper.
Ham a Ia king is always a IA
vorite. This served on toast is a
proper dish for the guest break
fast, luncheon or buffet party.

This Months Graduates

The high school commencements are under way Boys and girls, as radiant and starry-eyed as their fathers and mothers before them, are sitting on platforms all over the country, listening to speeches, making idealistic and ambitious ora tions of their own, grasping diplomas in eager hands. It is a show perennially 1n- teresting and moving, because the per- formers and the audiences are always new, always hopeful, always proud and happy.
 Have the youngsters graduating this month and next received the education they need? Are they prepared for lifeP Can they solve some of the problems which have baffled their elders? Can they think for themselves? Do they read un- derstandingly, express themselves clearly, seek truth honestly?
 Dr. Alexis Carrel says modern men need "above all other things, mental equilibrium, nervous stability, sound judgment, audacity, moral courage and endurance" If our graduating boys and girls lack these things, it is because the teaching and example of their elders have failed them. Education has been as confused and groping as everything else in the postwar years But youngsters to- day are courageous and surprisingly practical. We need not fear for them.

Waterbury Leads of

That Waterbury democrats are as pleased with the endorsement of ex- mayor David E. FitzGerald of New Ha- ven for the post of national committed man as any city in the state can be de- duced from the plans already completed to honor MT. FitzGerald at testimonial banuuet here within the next ten days. Coming as this does as quick after math of the New Haven convention 1t should make it clear to the state at large that if there are any hard feelings over the outcome of last Saturday there aren't in Waterbury.
 And for that matter the only hard feel ings that might be felt, although not ex- pressed certainly, would be that Water bury delegates could not have given New Haven'S ex-rnayor complimentary vote in some way. Let it be said, though, to the credit of local democratic delegates, having pledged themselves to support Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy they stuck to their guns, no matter the cost. Their fight, though, was not with ex-mayor FitzGerald and the coming testimonial will speedily prove that to the satisfac- ton of all.
 This coming banquet, too, is just an- other indication that State Chairman J. Francis Smith knew what he was talking about yesterday when he said in his pub lie statement [" that further faction al moves on their part (meaning the forces allied with Mayor Spellacy in the anti-McNeil drive) are to be expected is exactly contrary to the truth. The con- vention was definite step toward true party harmony" He surely is in po- sition to know and appreciate the DO sition of the several groups that partlcl- pated in the conventions only struggle.
 Incidentally the prestige of the State Chairman was considerably enhanced by the results Saturday. He looms today not merely as a real leader of the party, but as the type that solidifies rather than separates the forces. Repercussions Of the convention may be seen in newspaper headlines for some time to come, but there's not apt to be definite stand one way or the other by adherents of any leader until the state convention of Sep tember, if then. Pre-spring convention statements indicated that this would be more harmonious than many in the past that brought victory.

Hear Them Roar

The echoes of the Supreme Court de- cision invalidating the Guffey Coal Act had scarcely died away when the lam basters of the New Deal and the Roose- welt administration were hard at work seeking new terms of opprobrium, a fresh stock of adjectives and verbs that might be hurled Washington way. There was no refreshing thought expressed in any of the editorial criticism we read for the bituminous coal industry. Many and varied were the scorecards showing how New Deal legislation has fared with the highest court in the land.
 But while all this chortling is going on, what about the industry that President Roosevelt and his confrereS tried to aid? What is going to take place in this indus try now that the only real effort to regu- late it has been forced to the sidelines? Those are some of the questions that the New Deal critics fail to answer. All they think about is the fact that once again the New Deal has failed. But has It failed? It merely sought to do something that was admittedly needed.
 If it invaded the rights of the states, then why haven't the states endeavored of their own accord to rectify a danger ous situation. Appearing at court hear ings number of them declared that they lacked power to proceed to do what Uncle Sam set out to do-cure an industry that was in the doldrums back in the prosper ity days CD of Calvin Coolidge. The fed eral government has shown the way; It has been denied the right to continue to do so; 1t remains for the states vitally concerned over the bituminous coal 1n- dustry to see what they can accomplish along the same lines.

The filling League

The League of Nations is staggering lately The "poor old league" has suffered blow after blow. Japan has left it. Ger many has left it. Italy has openly defied it. All these powers have broken their pledges and ducked their responsibilities, and got away with it. Many observers are prophesying it's death. Cynical critics rejoice at it's sad plight.
 But honest and responsible statesmen do not rejoice. And Americans for the most part seem sorry. We do not belong to the League, and most of us do not want to belong. But our people cannot help seeing that it has done some good work in various ways, and that some such body is needed, with more authority rather than less, to keep the old Old World from destroying itself through wars of conquest.
 It was bad, as most people now recog- nize, to tie up the League with an unjust war-settlement. If it were reorganized without regard to the Versailles Treaty,

Now that the shouting has subsided, little credit should be bestowed where credit is due. We speak of the men who were responsible for the smooth running of the democratic state convention which ended in New Haven late Saturday after noon. First and foremost on our list we include the energetic State Chairman, J. Francis Smith of our own fair city. The demands made on this official in normal times are sufficient to try the pa tience of Job, but when a convention actually opens they don't merely multi ply, they rush right up and overwhelm the individual. However, MT. Smith emerged from the fray quite his usual debonair self. And the same might be said of his trusty assistant, the we'll known State Secretary, "Bill'' Greene of Hartford, and his corps of aides. Their duties were many, varied, and covered multitude of places. We don't think that any fault was found with their conduct of office. Reelection is, to be sure, as- sured.

 l. The transfer of tho Ameri- can ambassador, Jefferson Caf- fiery.
 2. The political subjection of Colonel Fulgencio Batista, ex- sergeant, now the iron-handed dictator of Cuba.
 Behind the secret parleys of Gomez and Roosevelt is the fact that the Island Republic is now more blood-soaked than in the days of tyrant Machado whom Roosevelt took steps to oust.
 Furthermore, the American aIn- bassador is held by many Cubans to be indirectly responsible for Batista's reign of terror.
 Supreme Court Protest
 There are now approximately 1,500 ppolItical prisoners rotting in Cuban jails--a figure worse than the days of Machado.
 Tn fact 50 fragrant have become political assassinations that the Supreme Court, which in Cuba is an extremely weak-kneed institu- ton, recently issued 8 protest at the way prisoners were made away with while cn route to trial.
 One case which both the Sue preme Court and the Cuban Senate protested was the mMr. der of AuguStin Martinez and OctaviO Seigle, the latter well known in Washington, where he was In exile during the Machad0 days.
 Their charred bodies were found in an automobile in a Havana suburb on April 28. They had been mutilated, their fingers torn from each hand, their legs torn from their bodies. Their bodies were thrown into Q car and the car ignited. However, the car did not burn, and the bodies were found with mute evidence of me- dieval torture.
 BatiSta's Friend
 Reason for Roosevelt's concern is that Ambassador Caffery and the United States get the blame for keeping Batista in power.
 Caffery who has become one of the most hated men ip Cuba, now seldom ventures outside tho ein- bassy unless preceded by an armed car. There have been several at- tempts on his life.
 He also has 0 personal body guard named Chamiso, Q big buck Cuban negro weighing 200 pounds who once broke 6 United Fruit company strike by threatening to beat up the first man who wouldn't return to work.
