Within a few weeks a new "crop"
of June brides will 'be starting out
on a career of hone -making; and as
instruction in proper methods of
cookery is much more widespread
than it was even a few years ago, a
good many of them will be far

problems than. were their mothers

Still, a few general hints might
not beamiss. And as over a quarter
of our food budget -according to the
Official records -goes for meat, here
are- some 'facts worth knowing and
remembering.
t m m
1. Tender cats, such as steaks and
chops, should be seared to brown the
surface fat and preserve juices.
Long cooking destroys flavour and
wastes meat.
* m ,r
2. En cooking neat for stews,
simmer just below boiling in a small
quantity of water. Add salt after
the first half-hour, not before,
3. In grinding meat for patties,
tncat loaves and the like, use the
coarse knife of the food chopper
and run meat through twice. This
gives a better flavour to the meat,
and your neat loaves will slice
without crumbling..
m S m
4. In pan-frying round steak, first
score the meat lightly with a very
sharp knife. Then brush with vine-
gar. This softens the connective
tissues and makes the meat more
tender.
m m
5. In baking meat loaves, pour
off the juices every half-hour. This
allows the bottom of the loaf to
make instead of stew, and also
gives a golden brown ernst

Now for some recipes. There are
a great many Hollanders coming
to this country, and very fine citi-
zens most of them are turning out
to be. But although they take
readily to our Canadian ways, we
may be sure that they've brought
along with them recipes for some of
their favorite dishes. One of these
undoubtedly is that of a family
dinner main dish, which they call
"Gevufde Kool" but which Pm

'Tis Ari insult
To The Irish
Irishmen the world over are said
to have protected vigorously when
the City Health Officer of San
Francisco made a few scientific
but apparently unpalatable san ar
s
,
ahem the famous Blarney Stone
recently,
A chunk of Blarney Stone weigh-
ing fifteen pounds had been tri-
timphantly conveyed from Ireland
to San Francisco so that it could
be featured in a Catholic festival.
The City Health Officer, appar-
ently oblivious to the fact that he
alight tnakehimsclf very tuiliopular,
took a "swab" of the ntuclt-kissed
surface of the stone; had it analysed
turd announced that it was swarm-
ing with germs.
It was not healthy, he added, for
a lot of people to kiss the stone.
Not having kissed it himself, be
said no more than this, but his
words brought down upon his head
a deluge of Irish scorn.
For men and women have been
kissing the Blaney Stone ever
since the days of Queen Elizabeth.
Germs or no germs, they have con-
sidered it a great privilege to lie
on their backs, lower themselves
head -first into a hole, and Press
their lips against the cold, tough
surface.
Why? Because the legend says
that whoever kisses the stone will
receive the gift of smooth-tongued
eloquence. The rhyme says:
"There is the stone there, that
whoever kisses,
Ohl he never misses to grow
eloquent;
'Tis he may clamber to a lady's
chamber,
Or become a Member of Par-
liament.
"A clever spouter he'll soon turn
out, or
An out -and -outer -`to be let
alone.'
Don't hope to hinder him, or to
bewilder him -
Sure he's a pilgrim from the
Blarney Stone."
The ancient stone itself is set
high in the outer wall of Blarney
Cattle, near Cork. It is said that
the word "blarney': found its way
into the dictionary during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth.
Cormat Dermott McCarthy, an
Irish rebel, having concluded in
1602 an armistice with the English,
was ordered by Queen Elizabeth
to surrender Blarney Castle to -her
Lord President of Ireland, Sir
George Carew.
But McCarthy was an exceed-
ingly smooth talker, and every time
the Lord President went to the
castle to arrange for its transfer
McCarthy overwhelmed hint with
such eloquence that he always re-
turned without completing his mis-
sion.
Sir, George became the laughing-
stock of the English Court, and
one day the Queen sent tor hint,
demanding to know why lie had
failed.
Sir George made his excuses,
describing 1vfcCarthy's persuasive
promises and arguments, where-
upon the Queen cried angrily:
"This is more Blarney! What he
says he never means!"
it carne to be believed that Mc-
Carthy's eloquence- was derived
front the magic Blarney Stone in
his castle walls, whose touch
"snakes a liar of the first magnitude,.
but a smooth and graceful liar,"
Americans made a tempting offer
in dollars for the Blarney Stone
before the War. The offer was re-
fused. '(Undaunted, the Americans
bought a quarry near time castle
and exported `Blarney rock" to
the United States.
During 1938 they scut ten tons

A Cutting Garden
A corner of the vegetable garden
or surra place at the back of the
lawn is often set aside to grow
flowers especially for indoor bou-
quets. 1'a'Iten a large supply of
blooms is wanted frequent cutting
leaves the regular borders a bit
shy. Any of these flowers suitable
for cutting purposes will thrive on
the sante sort of cultivation that the
vegetables get. Certain flowers, in-
deed, like gladioli, sweet peas and
others of which the foliage is not
very attractive are best grown with
the vegetables.
Will They Thrive Here? -
'- One reads or hears of lots of
beautiful flowers, shrubs and even
vegetables that many not grow well
to many parts of Canada. These
things were developed for the
Southern States or England where
the climate is milder or the grow -
Mg season longer.
One wastes money and time in
trying theist in our vigorous clime,
To guard against the discourage-
ment, one is advised to stick to
those flowers, shrubs and vege-
tables that are specially recom-
mended for Canadian conditions,
The latter- are the varieties- and -
types listed in the Canadian seed
catalogues. These have all -been
tested unc:er Canadian conditions
and they are the only ones recont-
ntended by the Cenaditut authorities.

Sound Nursery Stock
Shrubs, vines, trees and similar
things which we buy as started but
dormant plants are known as nur-
sery stock. Healthy stock should be
pliant and moist, with plenty of
stout buds. It will conte along
quickly with hardly a check if
hanalled carefully. These things
should be kept cool and moist and
if they cannot be planted in their
permanent location right away they
should be 'heeled in,' that is tem-
porarily planted in a trench with
the soil heaped up well above the
roots. When replanting it is ad-
visable to supply plenty of water
and keep watered for the first few
weeks. Planting is best clone in
the cool of the evening or on dull
days. and some shade from hot sun
is advisable with tiny things.
m m e
A Short Cut
To get an early start with such
tender, hot -weather -loving things
as cucumbers, melons, squash and
tomatoes there are little waxed
paper caps now on the market. A
little bed about a foot across is
made of rich soil, preferably with
some manure in it, the seed is
planted and over this goes the cap
firmly held down with earth around
the edges. The plants will germin-
ate quickly and the cap will pro-
tect thenal even whoa tate mercury
falls several degrees below freez-
ing. Later when weather warms
up the caps are discarded.
What's The Answer?
Once outside the city, a Sunday
walker would never know, unless
be had real about it in the papers,
that he was living in the Atonic
Age; he would swear that he was
still living in the Motor Age. And
as he walks along any country road
he will wonder whether the atonic
scientists, working with a billion
dollars' worth of equipment sup-
plied by the taxpayers, will ever
be able to turn out so universally
useful, so revolutionary, a contrap-
tion as the one Henry Ford turned
out half a century ago, working
alone in his bicycle shout out there
in Detroit. Will these sante atonic
scientists, given ten years, sufficient
funds and anarmy to guard their
work front prying eyes, produce so
great a boon to mankind as the
electric light that first glowed in
Edison's crude laboratory over
there in Jersey? Will the gentle-
men who can split atoms deserve
so well of their country in the long
run as the pioneers who only split
rails? These are questions born of
a spring day, and the answers seem
as uncertain as the sunshine.
A. Berkeley, Calif., exterminator an-
nounced his remarkable success in
catching rats by feeding theist froz-
en pudding flavored with sherry.
3 -le gets the rats so drunk that he
can reach them with his bare hands,
he says.
Male Tact
"I've decided on a name fqr
baby," said the young mother. `I
shall call her Ettphrosyne."
The husband slid not care for the
selection but he was tactful.
"Splendid," he said, cheerfully,
"'file first girl I ever Loved was
called Euphrosyne."
There was a brief silence, Then:
"We'll call her Elizabeth after my
mother;" his wife said, sternly.

,Atomic pile reaction starts with.exFloding atom of U-235 (1). It
blows up into atoms of lighter elements, yielding heat. (2) and three
surplus neutrons (3). One neutron breaks up another atom of
U-235 (4), keeping chain reaction going. Second neutron lodges in
useless U-238 atom (5), changing it to useful plutonium (6). Third
neutron (7), usually lost in leakage, can breed more plutonium.

prevents chain reactions from running wild.
