RECIPES

Size, shape, muscle structure
and bone formation determine the
cut of meat. You need a little
information on these things If you
want to buy 70 your own advan-
tage.
Corresponding cuts of beef.
veal. pork and lamb are similar
In shape, muscle structure and
bone formation. Size, alone, IS
the chief difference.
Wholesale and Retail Cuts
In wholesale cuts, the divisions
are made so far as possible.
through joints or between bones.
and the muscle is cut across the
grain. In making retails cuts. the
division is parallel to the direc-
ton established in making the
wholesale cut.
For example, the leg contains
the round bone. and In cutting
round steak, the retailer saws
through this round bone There
fore, round steak contains a
flat. round bone which is a cross
section of the leg bone and iden-
titles a round steak.
But there is the arm bone in
the chuck or shoulder section and
| SO an arm steak also contains
flat. round bone. In addition.
however, this section contains ribs
and in cutting an arm steak, 1t Is
necessary to saw across the ribs.
This steak is distinguished from
/ the round steak by the ribs as
well as Il difference in muscle
i structure,
/ Sirloin steaks are all cut from
+ the loin end. which contains the
i hip bone, but sirloin steaks differ
+ from one another because each
/ contains different cross section
of the hip bone.
/ Indeed. sirloin steaks take their
names-pin bone, double hone,
round bone and wedge bone
from the shape of bones they con-
/ tain.
/ These steaks differ also in size
and muscle structure. II is not
sufficient, therefore, TO ask merely
for sirloin steak, but for the sir
loin steak which best meets the
family needs.
T-bone Steaks
The short loin contains half of
the portion of the backbone, the
beef carcass having been split
down the center of the backbone
in making the side. The steaks
cut from this section will contain
parts of these vertebrae, which
form the characteristic T-shaped
bones and gives the name T-bone
to these steaks.
T-bone and porterhouse are used
more or less INTERCHANGEABLE.
Some limit the use of the name
porterhouse to the steaks in which
the tenderloin muscle is largest.
The rib bones distinguish stand
ing rib roasts. The chuck also
contains a rib section. but in addi-
ton il contains the blade bone,
which is the identifying feature
OF blade roasts, pot roasts and
steaks

Young Mother Thinks

ing patience. / am doing the thing.

viz AAAAaC ASAtt" oSAe INT "a ~
I agree with you that many
fathers have little understanding
20 far as their children are con-
cerned. but ] must admit that
contact with mothers has also
taught me that they are too
emotional in the matter of
bringing up their children. They
suffer too much over the
youngsters disappointments and
mishaps. II they would stop to
realize that these disappoint-
nents are the very things that
build character, ] am sure they
would feel that there is a GER
tain sound, common sense in
their husbands hard boiled"
attitude with children.
This does not mean that I
think all husbands arc justified
IN being inconsiderate. A small
child is just as deserving Of
respect as any adult. but moth
ers are prone to be too emotional
about their young. II doesn't
help the child any and certainly
II causes dissension In most
households because fathers have
little patience with spoiled chill
dren and emotional mothers.
Fathers and mothers have no
more right to have their way
than do young people, but
mothers fail TO remember that
children cannot always have
their way. II young people get
into the habit of imagining they
are being mistrcated land a
mother can transfer this thought
to 4 child. much to his misfor-
tune). they. will forever live in
m unhappy world.
don't like to see children
disappointed. No thinking per-
son does, but have seen that
= large part of family strife
comes from parents disagreeing
about children and ! think the
fault Ii invariably with the
parents. Children are not inten-
tionally mean--adults often are.
But you have asked for my
opinion--so let me give II to
you. I have found in such
cases AZ this that fathers are
more factual and less emotional
than mothers. and though they
may seem cruel, they often are
the balance q child needs to
guide 1t into maturity.
Don't get No worked up over
your little fclloy that you add
your share of dissension to the
home. If you try to look at the
matter In a fair and square
way you win see that there are
times when your husband has
an much right to havs his way
as does your child. DON'T take
sides.

was. Hilda's youthful naiyette left
no doubt Of her love for him.
He was flattered by it. his con-
fidence was restored. After six
desperate months II boosted his
flattened morale. When It vas all
said and done he vas lucky. Hilda
was break and only he knew
how badly ne needed a break.
Plans
They left the glaring sidewalk
and went into the dimness of a
picture house. Music throbbed,
scenes of love and romance moved
smoothly across the screen. They
sat hand in hand. Keith paid scant
attention to the picture. Method
ieallv he laid his plans.
It might be we'll to marry Hilda
shortly before she received her in
heritance. As her husband he'd
have more 70 say as 10 its uses.
otherwise Kari might take firm
hand.
The last thing Keith wanted was
that Hilda's money might be
placed where he would be unable
to get his greedy hands upon 1t.
F She said October and this was the
middle of August.
In about four weeks would be r
propitious time. Marrying her
j then would be in the manner of
good will gesture, sitting any
doubts in the mind of her father.
They'd muddle along on his
most inadequate salary, and hers
I if she wished to continue at the IL
brary. Then presto - Hilda
would be an heiress. He'd see
that she was the best dressed,
most attractive girl who ever de-
scended upon California.
A large order considering Holly
wood, but he felt competent to
carry it through. Somehow he'd
manage to shut her little mouth.
Family and friends in Orange
Hills must believe the money to be
his. He felt capable of also ac-
complishing that feat.
Keith's eyes elittered thinking
of his homecoming. He'd flaunt
his success and his beautiful wife
before the eyes of his family.
They'd thought to put him in his
place. All right-he d show them
how little he needed them, how
sufficient he was unto himself.
Sitting there, holding Hilda's hand,
he spun dreams of conquest.
And while he dreamed and
planned Hilda drank in the pic
ture. Karl had been reluctant
about taking her to the modern
movies. Subconsciously he had
been afraid of their influence. He
himself had taught her to dance.
had trained her remarkable voice,
had schooled her in languages.
Without money he had tried to
surround her with culture. She
was versed in economics and poll
tics, appreciated art and poetry.
She was stepped in old world GUS
toms and, until Karl allowed her
she had the inexperienced mind of
a child.
Fantastic
Tightening her hand In Keith's
she suffered agonies with the
glamorous heroine who finally de-
fled all conventions for love. It
was fantastic story, but to Hilda
perfectly reasonable. When they
left the theater her eyes were
bright with tears.
They went to a cocktail lounge
where Hilda slipped ginger ale and
Keith surrounded himself with a
battery of glasses and bottles and
siphons. Hilda refused to dance.
Since Keith's idle remark she was
pathetically conscious of her short
comines in the matter of attire.
The smartly gowned girls in the
lounge did nothing to restore her
self confidence.
