Suggests Polling Guard
on Universal Drill
Washington, D. C„ Jan. 23.—Claim
ing that the National Guard had
broken down under every test and
arguing in support of the "Plattsburg
idea" of a system of universal train
ing, Mayor Mitchel, of New York, sug
gested a poll of the National Guard on
the question of universal' military
training and service in his appearance
before the Senate committee on mili
tary affairs, in company with ether
representatives of the Military Train
ing Camps Association to-day.
Mayor Mltchel'a whole argument
was in support of the "Plattsburg
idea" of a system of universal obliga
tory military training and service for
the young men of the United States
under exclusive federal control.
Obligatory military service, each year
training more than a half-million men,
as men are trained in the Plattsburg
camps. Is the only democratic solution
of our national defense problem, said
he, but the present regular army would
hardly suffice as a teaching force.

HOW TO CHOOSE
GOOD POTATOES
Smooth More Desirable Than
Rough Ones Says
Specialists
Washington, Jan. 23.—The follow
ing suggestions to housewives by home
economics specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture are
made in regard to the selection of po
tatoes for table use:
In purchasing potatoes for table
purposes, the following points should
be kept in mind: First, that smooth
potutoes are more desirable than
rough ones, because they are more
easily prepared, and less loss is in
volved in tho paring. Second, that
tubers which have been exposed to
light for any considerable period soon
acquire a more or less acrid taste;
for this reason, newly harvested pota
toes, if mature, are preferable for the
winter's supply to those which have
been kept for any considerable period
under unsuitable conditions. Third,
that very large pota'toes are not espe
cially desirable, partly on account of
the greater length of time required to
cook them uniformly, and partly be
cause they are often very variable in
texture. Fourth, a good potato should
be tlrm and crisp when cut, and a thin
cross section when held between the
eye and the light should show a rela
tively uniform distribution of starch
throughout its whole area: as opposed
to a large, translucent, watery, central
area which denotes a lack of starch
in this portion of the tuber. The even
distribution of starch insures greater
uniformity in cooking and in texture
of the flesh when cooked.
If a lot is not uniform, it is often
worth while to sort them and use the
large ones with roast meats, or at
other times when the oven need not be
especially heated, and save the small
| ones for occasions when quick cooking
is more convenient. When the pota
toes are very large, or time is press
ing, it is often desirable to increase
the surface exposed to the heat by cut
ting them in pieces before cooking, in
spite of the fact that this slightly in
creases the amount of nutrients lost.
If they are pared and cut into small
cubes or thin slices, they will cook
very quickly and may then be cream
ed, mashed or served in other ways.
