(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In roasting fresh pork, as with other roast meats, the bureau of home eco. nomics of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture advocates the use of a roast meat thermometer to take the guesswork out of the results. The roast meat thermometer is put directly into the meat before cooking is begun and it stays there to show when the desired stage is reached. An oven thermometer is advisable, also, because modern recipes for baking meat gen- erally say to sear the outside at a high temperature and then reduce the heat to some specified point which can only be properly determined by a thermom- eter. Moderate cooking temperature is best after the surface has been seared to develop rich flavor. Pork, especial- ly, should always be served well done. Here are full directions for roasting a fresh ham and for making a good gravy to serve with it, as given in the leaflet, “Pork in Preferred Ways.” Roast Fresh Ham, Wipe the ham with a damp cloth, and leave the rind on. The ham will cook more quickly and shrink less when the rind is not removed. Sprin- kle the surface of the meat with salt and pepper and rub with flour. Place the ham, rind side up, on a rack in an open roasting pan, without water. Make a small incision through the rind with a sharp knife or steel skewer, cut short gashes around it with scissors, and insert a roast-meat thermometer through the opening so that its bulb reaches the center of the fleshiest por- tion of the ham. Place the pau containing the ham in a hot oven (480 degrees I.) and sear for about 20 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature rapidly to very moderate heat (300 degrees to 325 de- grees F.), and continue the cooking at | this temperature until the roast-meat thermometer in the ham registers 182 degrees F. Between 25 and 30 minu- tes per pound will probably be re- quired when these oven temperatures are used. Do not add water and do not cover the meat during roasting. When the ham is done, remove it from the oven and carefully take off the rind. To remove the rind easily, break through it on the fleshy side at | the hock, then turn the ham over and | lift the rind off in one piece. With a sharp knife score the fat covering in squares. Stick long-stemmed cloves | into the intersections and sprinkle | brown sugar over the fat surface. Re- turn to a moderately hot oven (375 de- | grees F.) to brown over the top. § .e | hot or cold.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) end a child out to play in the rain?’ Your mother would have been horrified at the theught. And yet any physician will tell you that if the body is kept warm and dry there is no par- ticular harm in allowing a little rain to fall on a child's face and hands. You can’t expect him to hold up an umbrella, though. He must be dressed from head to foot, especially for the state of the weather, in a rain-proofed play suit, and wear rubbers or ga- loshes to keep his shoes dry. Even when it isn’t raining, a good many mothers bundle their children up needlessly in cold weather and hamper them in the very activities that keep them warm when they are out-of- doors. A happy compromise has been found between the mother’s protective anxiety and the child's normal in- stincts for freedom in using his mus- Some play suits of a new type have been designed by clothing spec- ialists of the bureau of home eco- nomics, of the Department of Agricul- ture. These suits are warm, light in weight, and easy for the child of pre- school age to put on and take off with- out help. Great attention has been given to details of design and cut to make these rcomy and loose enough for any normal out-of-doors activity, to encourage self-help, and at the same time to present a trim and tallored appearance. Unnecessary bulk has been carefully eliminated. Several of the suits are intended to be worn in rainy weather and are made of shower-proofed fabrics. Both the children fn the {illustration rainy-day play suits made Notice cles. suits are wearing from orie of that the suits are constructed to deflect rain. The top of the back laps over the drop seat, the Slaps of the set-in pockets cover the openings, and the trimming piece down the front covers the strip of sliding metal At the leg plackets which are in front, pot on the side, there is a godet or two wedge-shaped pieces sewed togeth- er to make a simulated continuous placket under the buttons and loops so no dampness can get in. Rubbers may be put on before the suit so that the lower part of the leg sheds water dovynward. Like galoshes, they may be put on after the suit if the lower end of the leg is well tucked in. On some of the suits sliding metal fast- eners have been used for the leg plack- ets and also for the side openings of the drop seat. For easier management by the child a simulated back belt is carried for- ward about 21 inches to form a tab for the buttonhole. Under this back belt the seat extends fully 2 inches upward to allow for growth and lengthening. There are four buttons altogether on the back drop, doing these designs. fasteners. | | | away with a center back button, which | is always out of the child's reach. To give roominess in the seat in all of | the play suits there is extra fullness { in the leg seam. In the rainy-day suit this fullness is taken up by two down- ward turning plaits so as to shed wa- ter, Extra width in the sleeve at the wrist is plaited in to slip over the hand and stitched. A modified shirt- | type of sleeve is used. The curve of the top is higher than usual so that the shoulder seam of the garment need not be uncomfortably long. In suits made of shower-proofed ma- terials, which are also wind proof, and consequently quite warm, some | thought must be given to ventilation. In the model illustrated the side plack- ets have wide facings and underlaps and permit a circulation of air inside without allowing rain to enter, In other instances, where sliding fasten- ers are used, eyelets have been put in under the arms for ventilation. A spe- a nn a Send a Child Out to Play in the Rain. | cial instrument is needed for making such eyelets, but any harness maker and many book binders or stationers would have such a tool. A standing collar about 14 inches high, shaped like a man's shirt band, to fit the neck, is preferred, because it fits snugly if the hat has no back brim, and is comfortable under the brim if there is one. Both of the hats shown were shaped carefully to fit the | heads of the individual wearers, in- | suring comfort. Just as one general purpose coat is expected to last a child through the | winter season, one of these sturdy play suits, or one fair-weather and one rainy-day suit, should be sufficient. It pays, therefore, to mike them care- | fully of good materials, Except in very cold climates when a sweater or a thinner all-in-one suit may be worn underneath, the play suit is put on | over the child's regular house clothes. | A free leaflet describing these suits can be obtained by writing to the Unit. ed States Department of Agriculture, but patterns are not distributed. | He was all of that. | a library. | said, | cided cynically that she was getting no | younger { of my dreams, | dreamed | make ’em that way out there.” | The | could hardly discern PPP | i : A BOX } { OF BOOKS i i FORTHE | i LIBRARY | FEB S (® by D. J. Walsh.) HILIP CROSS cared nothing for girls. “Selfish pigs, always calling every fellow ‘Gimme! Gimme?! But they aren't going to call me that!” Philip Cross could well have an- swered their calling and never missed a gift or so. His income tax had to be filed on a large-sized blank by an auditing firm that made a speciality of this type of work. Philip Cross paid but scant attention to the income tax business or any other business for that matter. A tall, spare young fellow, Philip was the epitome of a red-blooded he- man, a lover of the great out-of-doors, More, he was a shy lover of romance. And romance had never come to him. Nothing had ever come his way, as he himself said, except gimme girls. Oh, they were quite, quite delicate about it! Yes, indeed! But people, especially of the feminine persuasion, cannot talk for any great length of time without re- vealing their inmost souls and person- alities. And Philip had found only greedy souls. He treated it in a laughing fashion that completely and successfully hid his disappointment. He wanted a | home of his own, a wife who watched for his coming, a rose hedge, a dog or two with faithful eyes and maybe— who could tell—little ones running | with outstretched arms to meet him, And so far he had had only dreams that were growing fainter and fainter { with the passing of the years. “But what do you care, anyhow?” asked his best friend, Ralph Donald- son. “You've plenty of money. You can afford to give and give and give and still never notice that there's any- thing gone.” But Philip Cross shook his head stubbornly. He would have what he wanted or nothing at all. Then one day he read in a magazine article about a woman who, far from the center of civilization, had started At the start she had only her own newspapers, magazines and a very few volumes of books. The neigh- bors had felt free to borrow these. In time tourists who passed and paused sent a few volumes to her upon their return home. The volumes grew so numerous that a little one-room shack was erected by the neighbors across the road from her houke. It was no thing of beauty but it was certainly destined to be a joy forever out in that prairie country. Boys rode fif- | teen and eighteen miles on horseback over the rough roads to borrow a book for a grandparent or some one who was ill. She had never, so the article bought a book, so Philip de- rake-off of any sort from publishers or book stores. “I've nothing to do for a month,” Philip told Ralph, “so I'm going to drive out there and take the old lady a couple of hundred volumes of science and economics and heavier stuff.

He came upon the shack with its sign “Public Library” much sooner than he had expected to. It was wholly unlike the grand city libraries. A girl dressed in fluffy pink clothes was going in the door and with keen masculine interest Philip jumped out to follow her. She had evidently not heard the quiet purr of the motor, for she was humming a gay little tune when he entered. Philip's lips curled; he was used to foibles like this on the part of girls, But her look was one of genuine surprise when she turned. “You've quite a library here,” said Philip, feeling awkward before her, Her eyes regarded him seriously. “Yes,” she said briefly, “I'm looking for Miss Hill—Lavinia Hill,” he said. “I have a box of books for her, Immediately her expression changed Dimples appeared in her soft cheeks.
