APPLE FLAP JACK TO
ACCOMPANY PORK

Apple flapjacks to accompany
pork chops or roast are just
about as grand and unusual an ac-
compartment as you could pos
sibly want. Particularly since so
many people do serve apples in
some form with a pork roast. They
are really worthy of any time re-
quired in their preparation.

Cinnamon
Milk
Cream the shortening and su-
gar, add the beaten eggs, the flour
sifted with the baking powder and
cinnamon, and the chopped ap-
pies. Then gradually add milk
and make a medium batter. Bake
on a griddle as for ordinary pan
cake and serve in an overlapping
row around a platter of pork chops,
or serve either hot or cold. Cooked
apples separately with roast pork,
or dry apple sauce may be used
with batter in the sa he way.

Mercury Most Elusive
Planet; Gains on Earth

The planet Mercury is about
Sc, 0OO, 900 miles from the sun, as
compared with the earth's distance
Of IS, 900, 900 miles. It moves around
the sun four times during one Of our
years, and so it gains three laps
on the earth each year. Three
times it swings out to the east Of
the sun to be visible in our evening
sky, and three times it swings out
to the west of the sun to be visible
In our morning sky.
Because of its nearness to the sun,
Mercury receives about six times
as much heat as we do. Also 1t
appears to turn the same face
always toward the sun, in the same
way that the man in the moon"
keeps his face always toward the
earth. The result is that the sun
ward side of Mercury is hot enough
to melt lead, while the part where
eternal night prevails is intensely
cold. These extremes Of tempera.
ture combined with its lack Of at
mosphere make it certain that our
kind Of life could not exist In this
world.

Training Dog Easy When
Confidence Is Gained

All dogs are blessed with natural
intelligence and are not hard to
train. OF course, as in everything
else, the would-be trainer must
start the right way. This unfor-
tpnately is not always done and the
result is that the puppy is thrown to
one side and labeled "brainless,"
whereas, If a trainer would only
take the trouble first to gain the con-
fldence of a puppy before attempt
ing any method of teaching, there
would not be so many so-called
dumbbells.
Gaining the puppy's confidence is
the first and most important step
in the training. The timid and nerv-
GUS type requires great care. One
must understand puppy Of this ma
ture much more thoroughly than
that Of the more aggressive and
fearless type, and a wrong move
during the training of timid puppy
may result in complete and per-
manent failure. After all, dogs are
very human, more human than
many people will admit. If the
trainer would lose sight Of the fact
that he is training an animal and
train it more as a child, he would
meet with satisfactory results be-
cause the two methods of training
are more or less identical.
One must first gain the confidence
Of a child If the best results are to
be obtained. Dog training Is based
on this same principle. OF course,
many people lack the necessary
qualifications to become trainers,
such qualifications as proper under
standing and sympathy. These are
most important factors. Without
them one would only meet failure
and ruin what might have been a
really high-class trained dog, and
It is not so much what we teach
but the manner in which we teach
It that counts.
Indian Princess
Pocahontas, the warm-hearted In
dian princess who saved the life of
Capt. John Smith, was the daughter
of the great Powhatan, head of the
strong Virginia Confederation,
whose rule extended over 40 tribes
from the James to the Potomac
rivers. Captain Smith, a gallant
soldier of fortune, organized the
first English settlement in what is
now the United States, at James
town in 1907. One day the daring
captain ventured into the dangerous
Virginia country and was captured
by Powhatan's braves. They were
preparing to beat out his brains"
as Smith himself wrote in a third
person account of the adventure,
when Pocahontas, the Kings dear
est daughter got his head in
her arms and laid her own against
his to save him from death" The
soldiers life was spared and Pow
hatan and he smoked the pipe Of
peace.

"Down in Georgia Talmadge is
refusing to line up with our de-
tense program, being the only Gov
ernor in the United States refus-
ing allegiance to our great Presi-
dent. His stand in the matter of
his nations emergency explains his
stand on matters, of education in
Georgia. Hill-billyism does not
commend itself in a national emer-
gency. It works finely when the
colored man is the prime issue; but
once matters become international
in scope, it becomes a flop and fiat

American Indian OriginatiOn

Anthropologists - they are the
men who study man-have estab-
hshed beyond reasonable doubt"
that the American Indian originated
In Siberia, where practically the
same types exist today. He mi
grated here, trickling down through
out our continent, by way Of Alaska.
The time Of the Indians coming
was around 5000 years ago. How
Is he faring today? The once van
ishing Indian population of the
United States is now over 361 500,
a gain of nearly 100, 900 since 1900.
Furthermore, the Indians are
steadily moving toward a wholly
self-supporting existence. And our
red brothers have the proud salts
faction Of knowing that they con-
tributed to our love Of the out-ot-
doors, gave US corn and tomatoes,
potatoes and squash, added to our
store Of words, and founded the first
real American art with their fine
handicrafts.
