with an automatic oven heat con-
troll the use of reliable oven
thermometer of standard make is
recommended, for 1t Is an economy
Of food, time and fuel to bake at
known temperatures instead of
guessing at the oven heat. Place
thermometer on rack as near center
Of oven as possible, BUT check in
two TO three minutes before putting
food in to baks to be sure desired
temperature has been maintained.
3. Keep wen door closed during
baking and break the habit OF
"peeking". This prevents even brown
ing Of foods, cools oven and wastes
gas. Many degrees of heat may be
lost every time door is opened.
4. Save fuel by a succession OF
bakings, starting with food requir-
ing highest temperature and fin
ishing with that requiring lowest;
this plan eliminates several pre-
heatings of oven. After baking a
pastry shell, bake a cake, then
an oven meal plus baked or steWed
fruit, pudding Or loaf of quick
bread-all of which may be used
with other meals.
S. Plan the oven meal around
meat, poultry. fish or substitute
main dish. Accompanying foods
must be chosen for some baking
temperature. Overlook vegetables
requiring. longer cooking time than
the fresh tender young vegetables;
bias potatoes, squash, etc, when you
can; cook other vegetables In uten-
ills having tightly fitted covers to
reduce moisture in oven during
baking. Carrots, onions, beets, tur-
nips, parsnips, tomatoes bake well.
6. Add various foods during oven
meal baking in a succession based
on their respective cooking times.
Ordinarily, the meat takes longest.
Z The best cakes to bake with
oven meals are upside down and
Dutch apple cake types, certain
moist spice cakes, and in short-time
oven meals baked at high tempera-
lures, cup cakes may be baked too.
Delicate layer and loaf cakes turn
soggy If baked with other foods at
the same time.

YOUR FOOD--AND

Lamb chops are party fare. anc
since February offers at least three
dates worth celebrating with a party
you'll probably want TO serve lamt
chops sometime during the month
And lamb chops are SO good thai
they deserve TO be cooked IN the
right way, 20 make sure that they
will be as tender and fine In flavor
es they can be.
Chops are cut from the rib and
Che loin sections of lamb, also from
Me shoulder. Rib chops contain the
lib bones and the cross-section oil
Che "eye" muscle. The meat may be
Dcraped from the end Of each rib
which can then be decorated with
. paper frill before serving.
Thick Chops Desirable
Loin chops gre somewhat larger
oan those from the rib section. II
Gut thick. one chop will be sufficient
for each person TO be served. They
are best when from three-quarters
10 one inch or more thick. These
chops have o T-snaped bone and are
cut across one large muscle and the
tenderloin muscle.
The largest .ainb chops are those
cut double thickness across the UNI
divided loin. The bones are removed
and the flank ends may be wrapped
around half O lamb kidney. Or the
kidney may be cooked separately
and placed ON top of the broiled
chop.
BroiIed or Panbroiled
/ All lamb chops are best cooked
by broiling or panbroling. They
should be cooked slowly until they
are nicely Drowned on the outside
and Well-done within.
There Is a great variety of menus
based upon lamb chops. Dencately
favored vegetables and all fruits
combine well with lamb, which Is
one Of the reasons for its popularity
for company meals.
Broiled Lamb Chops
Select rib, lo;n or shoulder chops,
Have the regulator set for broiling.
Place the chops so that there Is a
distance OF ABOUT three inches be-
tween the top OF the chops and the
source OF the heat II broiling two
inch chops or two inches If chops
are one inch thick. If the distance
must be less reduce the heat ac-
cordingly 80 that the chops will
broil at a moderate temperature.
When the chops are Drowned on one
side, season, turn and finish the
cooking on the other side. Chops
cut one inch thick require twelve TO
fifteen minutes.

get maximum cut of all food, so
should the homemaker cooking with
a gas range plan to get every bit
of value out Of every bit of fuel she
uses. Substantial economies may be
effected through n-cooking as
follows:
l. Have food ready for baking
by the time the oven Is preheated
to the wanted temperature. Meats
can be started In the cold oven and
make use Of the preheating period
2. If the range Is not equipped
sizzling hot. Brown chops quickly
on both sides, pouring off fat as 1t
accumulates in the pan. Then cook
slowly until the desired degree of
doneness Is reached. Time for pam
broiling is the same as for broiling.
For variety, deviled lamb chops
are fine.
Devilled Lamb Chops
Have chops cut one inch thick.
Beat two egg yolks slightly, add to
IL L.
son with l teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons OF Worcestershire sauce,
cayenne pepper and teaspoons vim

and place on a rack In the broiler.
BY the time tn echops are Drowned,
they will be half done. Season with
salt and pepper, turn and broil on
second side.

HUMANE SOCIETY
 ISSUES APPEAL
Urges Owners to Care for Pets When | Leaving on
 Vacation

An appeal to all pet owners to care for their animals during the Vacation season was made today by x Seth Jones, general manager of the Connecticut Humane Society MT. Jones stated that even though vacation plans may be somewhat eszvtailed this year, nevertheless, pet owners who intend to spend their vacations away from home should mako arrangements for the care of their dog or cat before leaving. If the animal cannot be taken on the vacation the owner should find a npme-like boarding place. It is a mistaken idea that pets can care for themselves during the summer months.
 Mfr. Jones said that there is no excuge for cruelty abandoning cA animal and letting 1t fend for itsell The humane society will dispose of say pet brought to 1t and he urged that all pet owners who feel that 1sey must dispose of their pet should not delay until the last moment ok departure, but do so several days in advance.

LABOR LEAGUE
 WARNS VOTERS
Coming Elections Most Im- pOrtaut in HistOry--Sup-
 port New Deal

New Haven, June 24. L. Tn s leaflet being distributed in tens of thousands, Labor's n-Partisan League, of Conpecticut warns that in the approaching elections SThe voters must realize that the central Issue Is: Winning the war" the state office of the League announced today. & "Along side of this issue" the League says, everything else be- comes secondary in importance. Party affiliations become meaning less. Domestic records can no longer be the guide for selecting candidates and giving them support.
 "A candidate who builds buildings, repairs streets or fixes sewers can- not today be judged on these ac- complishments important as they are. These buildings, streets and sewers may be destroyed by Axis bombs unless the Axis is dee Stroyed first. '"
 The League warns the voters that Hitler is seeking to spread propa- ganda in Connecticut that the elec- tions for Congressional and State offices in November are unimportant and that 1t does not matter whether people vote or not.
 "The fact is," states the League which represents thousands of irl- dustrial workers in the State, "that these elections ranks as the most important in the history of America. '' "Every voter" the statement con- cludes, should carefully study the record of all candidates and vote for those who gave complete and unqualified support to:
 "1. President Roosevelt and his
 Victory program.
 q. The T-point program of Presi-
 dent Roosevelt for equality
 of sacrifice to win the war. 8. Safeguarding labor's rights
 and the rights of minorities
 to participate without dis
 criinination in the war ef-
 forts"
 The leaflet has been issued in 5O,O00 quantities with a second print ing of 5000 copies already under way.
