UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE

UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE
u. S. Marines have been called
upon to perform unusual feats in
all parts of the world, Many of
their deeds have been performed
under dangerous and difficult cir
cumstances.
On one such occasion ten Ma
rines attached to the USS Missis-
sippi, lying at anchor near Canton,
China, in 1858, participated in an
odd and wholly Unexpected adven-
ture.
About midnight, when all hands
aboard the American warship, ex-
'cept the regular watch, were as
leep, a nervous and excited Siamese
naval officer clambored aboard and
requested permission to speak to
the vessels captain. With the aid
of signs, gesticulations and broken
English he related that a calamity
had befallen his ship. A mutiny
had been staged and only the
Americans, he said, could restore
order.
Following instructions of their
commanding officer, naval officers
of the Mississippi and ten Marines
were ordered to board the troubled
ship, restore order and return as
soon as possible.
Under the cover of darkness the
Americans pulled alongside the
mutinous craft. Efficiently execut-
ing a pre-arranged plan, the Leath-
ernecks boarded the vessel and
quietly overpowered the mutton
GERS, singly and by pairs, until all
had surrendered and rejoined loyal
membrs of the crew.
Upon being assured that the ST.
amese captain would retain control
of his ship, the Americans returned
to the Mississippi, arriving aboard
their warship in time for breakfast.

In buying beef most women ask
for Just a few cuts, such as round
steak, porterhouse steak, rib roast
and club steaks. The result is that
everyone bids against each other
for these few cuts, while the other
so percent of the beef goes beg

stock and Meat Board.
Yet the less wanted and SO less
expensive beef is just as nourish-
ing, and can be just as delicious if
it is properly cooked. Brisket, heel
pot roast, cross cut shank, boned
neck, flank steak and rump roast
are examples of these less popular
cuts.
The secret of cooking these less
tender cuts is slow moist heat. At

heavy pan either in its own fat or
in added lard or other fat.
Water or other liquid is added
after the browning. The amount
of liquid depends on the amount
you will want when you serve the
beef. Tomatoes or tomato juice
are often used in place of water
An acid juice like tomato makes
the meat more tender because il
dissolves some of the tough fibers
The beef should be tightly COW

steam will not escape. The fire

is suitable for pot roasts, stews anc

The Road

1920 cities with a total population
of more than 12,500,000 are with
out local mass transportation sys-
TENS and are, therefore, completely
dependent on automobile transpor-
tation. There are more than As
600 communities with no railroad
transportation and six states with
no street cars. There are 10000
900 people who work in the city
but live in rural areas and most of
them must travel by automobile to
get to their work.
These figures indicate the urgent
necessity for conserving our motor
transportation facilities so they
will furnish the most efficient use
and last as long as possible. Every
effort is being made to achieve this
end. Government officials and bus
inessmen are cooperating to stag
ger working hours, to get people to
walk whenever possible, to promote
neighborhood clubs for joint use of
automobiles, to reduce driving
speeds, to prevent accidents which
take their toll in vehicles and tires
as we'll as lives.
The localities which before the
war built modern, improved high
ways may today consider them
selves particularly fortunate. For
there is a direct relation between
road conditions and wear and tear
on vehicles adm tires. This is DEM
onstrated by study made of the
relative cost of operation on var
Iious classes of highways. 1t was
found that automobile maintenance
averaging 1.43 cents mile on
high-type roads rose to 1.72 cents
on intermediate types and to I'll
cents on low type. Similarly, de-
probation rose from 1.26 cents on
high type to 1.39 on intermediate
and 1.57 on low-type roads. Costs
of tires and tubes used on high
type roads cost 20 cents a mile, on
intermediate "a cents and on low
type "a cents. Gasoline rose from
LOG cents for high-type roads to
1.31 on intermediate and ISL on
low.

GOOD ROADS SAVE CARS,
TIRES, GAS

Motoring as usual is out for the
duration. New cars and new tires
are among the essentials we must
sacrifice in our about victory eff
fort. Passenger car production in
the United States was terminated
February 10. Assembly lines were
uprooted to make way for war pro-
duction. In consequence, there is
no automobile manufacturing in
the United States today. Ameri-
can motorists are, therefore, now
riding in their last cars for the du-
ration of the war and possibly for
months thereafter.
The rubber situation is no less
critical, since the enemy now con-
trolls more than 95 per cent of our
crude rubber supply and military
demand for rubber has been step
ped up to extraordinary figures. So
it is clear that we must husband
the life in our present tires if they
are to last out the emergency. AL
though there is no shortage of gas
oline, a drastic shortage of the
tankers needed for its transporta-
tion necessitates gas rationing in
II eastern states and the District
of Columbia.
On the other hand, there is no
doubt that motor transportation is
indispensable to the war effort and
civilian welfare. A recent survey
revealed that, in an average year,
the nations automobiles run up a
total of 498,000,000,000 passenger
miles. Of this, more than 80 per
cent is for purposes classified as
necessity" driving. This means
that there is a total of about ga
000,000,000 passenger miles of nee
essity automobile use that cannot
be eliminated without seriously dis
rupting the entire transportation
picture. For example, workers in
many defense plants throughout
the nation are largely dependent on
passenger cars for getting back
and forth to work. Approximately
