ing about 4 pounds, and 1t Is .
good idea to turn this cut occa.
sionally for even cooking. Stuffed
spareribs are usually done in IN
hours.
Pork Chops Offer
Variety.
For variety in pork dishes there
are pork chops-stuffed or plain.
Other favorites are steaks from the
pork shoulder or ham, and fillets
from the pork tenderloin. These
three cuts are usually Drowned and
then cooked slowly in covered fry
ing pan on top of the stove After
browning, 20 minutes is usually the
time required to finish the cooking
when the pork is cut one-half- Inch
thick. Thicker cuts will require
more time.
Because apples combine so well
with pork, a platter of stuffed chops
and apples is always a favorite.
Simply cut pockets in thick chops,
brown them and fill with any we'll
seasoned stufiing. Fasten the edges
together with toothpicks and lay
the stuffed chops on a rack in a
baking dish. Core the apples and
cut them in half, but do not peel.
Place half apple on top of each
chop. with the cut side down. Cover
the pan and bake in a moderate oven
for about As minutes, or until the
meat is tender.
Any tart fruit is a good accompani-
ment for pork. Try using pine
apple, dried apricots. peaches, cram
berries or oranges. Among the vege-
tables that combine well with pork
are squash, sweet potatoes, cabbage,
sauer kraut, peppers and celery.

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Make Ready for the Time When
You Will Be Left All Alone!

All intelligent human beings rec
ognize the wisdom of laying up
money for rainy day so that they
may not be a burden upon others,
or suffer the degradation of de-
pendence when they are no longer
able to be self-supporting.
But very few1people ever give even
a thought to making any mental
provision for the time when their
plan Of life may be broken up and
they are left alone, so that they may
save themselves from becoming
bores and Affections to all who
know them.
OF the two catastrophes, the latter
is more likely to happen to us than
the first. We can safeguard our
money, but there is no way in which
We can protect ourselves against the
death of those we love, against sep
aration from friends, against the
breaking up of our homes, or against
our children leaving us and going
about their own affairs. When this
happens to us we are paupers in
happiness If we have not some re-
source within ourselves that makes
us independent of the balance of
the world. No sight is more pathetic
than that of men who have been
used to Juggling railroads and banks
and factories trying to amuse them
selves knocking little golf balls
about.
With women the case is even
worse. Especially with the woman
who is all mother and whose whole
life has been bounded by the four
walls of her home. Since her first
baby was born she has never read
anything but the Baby Book, she
has never talked of anything except
the children and her household
affairs. Empires may fall and dy-
nasties rise and they were less inn
portant to her than the baby cutting

cooking. If you're getting a loin
roast or spare ribs, have the butcher
crack the bones to simplify carving.
Good roasts are tender through
out, with a brown crust on the out
side and juicy meat inside. To get
the roast done to this perfect turn"
the Federal Bureau of Home Eco
nomics recommends thorough cook
ing at moderate temperature. Be
sure to cook pork until there is no
trace of pink in the juice, in order
to kill the trichina parasite, which is
sometimes present.
Wipe Meat With
Damp Cloth
The first step in preparing a pork
roast for the oven is to wipe it with
a damp CLOTH. Sprinkle generously
with salt and pepper and dust 1t
with flour, If you like. Then place
the roast on the rack Of shallow
open roasting pan without water.
(The ham goes rind side up, and
the loin goes fat side up0
The meat thermometer is the
most reliable guide for telling ex-
actly when the meat Is done. Pork
is well done" when the temperature
at the center of the roast is 1872
to 1875 degrees F. II a roast meat
thermometer is used, insert 1t in
the thickest part of the meat before
you put the meat IN the oven. To
get the thermometer through the
rind of a ham, cut a small cash
with the point of a knife, or make
an opening with a steel skewer.
Because hams become thicker dur
ing cooking, it is best to push the
bulb of the thermometer nearly
two thirds of the way through the
raw meat.
Pork is usually roasted at con-
slant moderate temperature, with
out soaring Use a temperature Of
325 to $50 degrees F.-with the more
moderate temperature for larger
roasts, which require longer cook
ing to get done in the center.
But If you want to scar the roast,
use temperature of 480 degrees F.
for 20 to 80 minutes, or until the
meat is light brown on the outside.
Then quickly reduce the tempera-
ture to 800 to 325 degrees F.
The length of time for roasting is
about the same whether you scar
it first or not. From Is to 80 min
utes per pound is the rule for roast
ing a fresh ham. and 30 minutes per
pound for q medium sized loin roast.
But 1t takes longer to roast the
chunky shoulder. especially when it
is stuffed. About 31a hours is re-
quired for q stuffed shoulder, weigh

Economy in
Schools Is
Mistake
Haphazard Saving
Often Does More
Harm Than Good
By ANGELO PATRI.

In hard times the schools are the
first institutions to feel the pinch of
economy. The budget is always
cut for the schools-for teachers
salaries first. Word is passed along
to the principals and teachers that
they must economize Often they
wonder where and how this Is to be
done, for schools are always poor.
The newspapers at this time al
ways carry columns about the ris-
ing costs of education. So much
money and so little to show for it.
The taxpayers look at the vast
amount budgeted for education and
are aghast.
why should teachers be paid big
salaries when we have. so little for
ourselves?" they howl.
Somehow it is natural for q tax
payer to feel the full weight of the
millions for education resting on his
fattened pocketbook. Every tax
payer knows how that feels. The
idea gets about that the schools cost
too much, and ways are sought to
economic.
Look what happens Night schools
are shut, recreation centerS are cut,
classes are increased in size, the
number of teachers is reduced SO
that those in service are overworked,
supplies reach the vanishing point
in quantity and quality, children
are crowded and rushed through the
schools and out to the streets. We
are economizing.
am heartily in accord with
economy in the management of all
public services, but I would like to
see intelligent economy practiced
instead of this haphazard hit-and-
miss idea. Blanket orders are never
as effective as they might seem.
They cover at once too much and
too little. Money is take from where
1t is most needed, and it is often
spent where it could be saved.
I think that school buildings
should be austere. I would not spend
q dollar for extras. Children need
strong, simple, efficient equipment.
They do not need and should not
have ultra smart, expensive fittings
that cost q lot Of money and re-
quire great care in their upkeep.
Cheap and limited supplies are
no saving. They are waste. Sandy
chalk that cuts the blackboard, red
ink that makes no mark, mucilage
that does not stick, paper that tears
and blots, and materials that are
shoddy look cheap and they are
wasteful in the quantity required,
in the extra time needed for their
use, In their uselessness in genral.
Teachers are highly traind spe-
cialists. They are the fountains of
intelligence from which the Ma
tion's children must drink and be
nourished. That kind ofTintelligence
and personality is not cheap. Cheap
teachers, cheap supplies and an
emasculated system of education
combine to create a mob mind, and
that is not economy. This Nation
demands and must have the best
possible, the farthest-reaching sys-
tenn of education that can be vi
stoned. True economy prevents
waste and this Is the one place
where we can least afford waste.
The human product here has vital
implications.
