To BroiI Bacon

Start with the pan either cold
or hot but not hot enough to make
the bacon smoke when it is added
to the pan. To prevent the strips
of bacon from curling and to keep
them perfectly flat and straight,
keep turning the bacon over and
over the first few moments it is
in the pan, before it ever begins
to curl
Cook the bacon to the desired
crispness, being very careful that
the bacon fat does not, at any time
get hot enough to smoke. Try to
keep the bacon fat just under
smoking temperature.

AUTO MEN EXPECT
GOOD 1888 SALES
Larger Part of Production
Probably viii Go for
Requirements.
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT. October 21.-During the
motor car industry's recovery years,
dating from 1882. sales executives
made much of the more or less invis-
ible backlog of unsatisfied demand.
Now the men who make motor cars
and the men who sell them are begin
ming to agree the more than 18,600,000
passenger cars and trucks the indus
try has assembled from December 81,
1882, to date have absorbed a major
part of this accumulated backlog.
This does not mean there has been
any revision of the producers view-
point concerning 1888 production
probabilities. The industry does not
lay out its assembly program very far
in advance, but the general expecta-
ton through the manufacturing divi-
sion has been that next year will
match 1887 with its 5000, ,OO0-unit
output.
1t does mean, in the opinion OF
many observers in the industry, that
a larger part of the 1898 production
years assemblies will be for the
replacement of older models.
The 1S,6OO,000 units assembled since
1892 represent, roughly, about two
thirds of the total number Of vehicles
registered in the United States at
present. Yet at the close Of 1882 reg
istrations in the United States aggre-
gated 24,115,129 cars and trucks.
That about 100000 others cars
went to the scrap heap in the five
year period thus covered is somewhat
difficult to comprehend until it Is
remembered that at the beginning of
the recovery period there still were
millions of models of the middle 1920s
still under registration.
The figures offer much material for
speculation among both producers and
distributors. There are some observ-
ers who believe the total registration
for 1887, when final compilation
is possible, will show sufficient
volume to bring the aggregate num-
ber of vehicles licensed up to nearly
10000 900.
