We may think of sausage as be-
Ing made up of "ground-up scraps" F"
but that is not true of most good
sausages. The sausage does give the
meat packer and butcher way to
use scraps and trimmings, but a
great deal of very good meat goes
into the casing.
Bologna, a city in Northern Italy,
gave its name to a sausage often
called "baloney." Balogna sausage
is made from pork, veal and beef.
The meats are ground up fine, cooked
and smoked.
In Scotland a sausage known as
"white pudding" is popular. 1t is
made by mixing toasted oatmeal
with beef suet. The mixture is
minced and is seasoned with salt
and pepper before being placed in
castings and boiled.
France also has a white sausage,
and it is quite. sausage! White
chicken meat is minced and mixed
with yolk of eggs, onions, bread
crumbs and cream. This is salted
and spiced, placed in a case and
boiled in milk and water.
An extremely popular sausage is
the frankfurter. 1t obtains it's name
from Frankfort, a city in Germany
It is made of pork and beef, chopped

Some persons boil wieners few

picnics. They say this is good way
to make sure the wieners will be
we'll cooked. At wiener roasts peo-
pie are likely to be in hurry to eat
the wieners, and may not hold them
over the fire very long.
Sausages may be stuffed by hand
or with hand-turned machines.
Packing plants have power machines,
commonly driven by compressed air,
and it is interesting to watch them
in use when wieners are made. The
chopped-up meat is blown out of a
nozzle at fast rate and goes into
castings which may have length OF
to 20 feet. Later the packing house
workers make links by tying knots

A Difficult Guess

Against four spades West decided
seemed likely that North, who had
bid no-troump, would hold some club
honor-probably the king. Thus
to lay down the ace would simply
make things easy for the declarer
With this thought in mind West led
the club eight, and declarer was
Immediately confronted with a very
difficult guess If the lead we're
from the queen, South would lose
only one club trick by playing low
from dummy. and after long and
earnest deliberation declarer con-
ciuded that West wouldn't dare I'M
derlead an ace against what was
obviously tWo-suit hand.
While South can hardly be blamed
for making the wrong decision, the
daring lead certainly brought re-
suits. When dummy played low,
East won with the queen and re-
turned the suit. Then after TAX
Ing the club ace. West shifted to
trump and subsequently regaining
the lead with the heart king, re-
moved dummys other trump so that
declarer was forced to lose two
heart tricks in addition to the two
tricks in clubs.
The remarkable part of the hand
is that declarer could have made
a small slam. If he had put up
the club king, his other club could
have been discarded on dummys
top diamonds He would have then
been able to trump the third round
of hearts in dummy, and since both
hearts and spades were evenly di-
vided, the only loser would have
been a heart trick.

any one not already immersed in
the subject. AS for the second theme,
it is always a moving one, but unfor-
tunately it is much subordinated
here and beyond demonstrating that
Jews did help the Polish people in
their fight for freedom it has little
meaning in the story.
The book, Notwithstanding these
limitations, has had great popular
ity abroad and has been translated
into Hebrew, Polish, Russian,
Ukrainian and German. Its story is
that of a mans life, as he moves
through the various schools of relig-
ious and political thought of the
Jewry of pre-war Poland. There are
some passages of clear natural
beauty in it, but. in the main, the
effort to cover the whole religious
and political scene has led to a forced
quality of narrative and an artificial
quality Of character.

With legislation in respect to both

lie Welfare Department soon to be

tions about the significance and i'm
portance of this work are noted by
the sociology department of the
Public Library. Eighth and K streets
NV, and the branch libraries. Some
frequent questions about the need
for and value of relief grants are:
What classes of people are on re-
lief? Is relief preferable to the
dole? What does relief cost Federal
and local agencies? How are relief
| funds administered and what are
needs in this field? What are the
provisions of the Social Security
Act and how do they effect relief
grants?
A challenging Introductory state
ment to the problem of relief needs
has been provided by Maxwell S.

questions: Are relief standards too
high? Do relief recipients turn

doubtlessly, present romantic and
historic peg on which to hang more
and more books. Certainly, his ex-
ploits and character are fascinating
studies. The part he played in the
making of history during and after
the World War has probably not
yet been fully appraised. And there
is no doubt that Lowell Thomas is
about as fully qualified as any
living commentator to write about
Lawrence.
However, it seems of doubtful
value to write a boys life of Col.
Lawrence. With the newspapers
full of international treachery, of
war and the threat of war. it would
seem that the romanticizing of
these very elements is totally un-
necessary. While Lawrence was .
superb military strategist. his ex-
ploits included many illicit and
illegal maneuvers. Even the utmost
whiteWashing that Thomas can do
does not hide the fact that his life
was full of treachery, given and
received, and horror. While he
succeeded in changing the map of
the Near East, his pacts and agree
ments were abrogated time and
again.

the loss of even one sale of this

Among the few remaining aborig-
inal peoples Of the earth the Inuit
of Baffn Land rank as among the
most interesting and the least
known. Their customs and adapta-
ton to the extreme rigors of their
habitat represent one of the ply
sical triumphs of the human race
over adversely.
With another member of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police the
author established new police post.
Port Burwell, on Ungava Bay, off
Hudson Strait, and remained there
three years among the natives to
make surveys for the Canadian gov
ernment and to maintain law and
order between the natives and the
white men who now are beginning
to invade this potentially rich land
of ice and hardship.
Many months were spent by the
author on patrol, accompanied by
one or more natives. He came to
know them as they are known by
few white men. He was adopted
by a tribal chief as his son, learned
their language and folklore and
lived their life on the trail and in
camp.
The result is q remarkable story
of adventure and revealing glimpse
into the lives and homes Of a most
remarkable race of men-men with
an amazingly developed philosophy
of life. In q world of continuous

Big Frogs and Little Frogs
By Susan Erts. New York;

HuIPeI q 0fOo.
Now and then a short story by
Susan Ertz is found in the monthly
magazines, sturdy thing dwarf1ng
most of the printed stuff bound
in the same pages. Under one cover
this book collects some of her finest
brief tales, a volume admirers Of
this writer, born In England of
American parents and cosmopolitan
in interests, will like having.
Miss Ertz does not preach at
either her characters or readers;
rather, she sketches people as she
sees them and leaves the reader
to his own verdict. The delightful
'Hansi'" Is among those present, a
charming Viennese woman who
skillfully goes about discouraging
the attentions of her friends hus-
bands. Miss Ertz makes it con-
vincing.
The tale of a fluent liar, big
Frogs and Little Frogs" opens the
book. With consummate skill the
author entices the reader on from
one situation to the other, from
character to character. There is.
for instance, the story of a neurotic
girl who believed all men desired
her, and by way Of contrast a
tale of a young Frenchwoman con-
fronted suddenly with an unfamiliar
husband. The managing mother at
her worst appears in whittier Thou
Goest," story which gives full
scope to Miss Ertz's talent for irony.
