CHAMBERS Brushing Up On Meat Dishes 1'he lovely crisp Autumn days are with us, They bring some sad thoughts, but also joyous ones, for the beauty of the Autumn Alas been unsurpassed. Although the dreariness and dead leaves do ,ark the end of our summer it will not be so many months be- fore the arrival of lovely spring with its newness again. One thing our Autumn is sure to bring is appetites for the whole family and now is the tim". when more attention has to be given to the reparation of the hot meat dishes b. order to satisfy those hungry boys and girls and grownups, too. I am giving two new ideas for the preparation of meat. Chicken Baked in Milk Cut up the chicken as for fry- ing.

Add one cupful of whole milk to the frying pan and stir until all the gravy is taken up. Add this to the chicken with enough extra whole milk to half cover it. Cover the dish tightly and bake in moderate oven until the chicken is tender, which should be about two hours, when the milk will all be absorbed. Remove chicken to hot platter. Add one tablespoon flour to fat and juices remaining in pan, stir over low heat, then add a cupful of milk. Cook until smooth and thickened, and pour over chicken. This is delicious served with fluffy -cook- ed rice and squash for a vege- table.

Sea -Air Power Of United States .4. report from Washington dis- closes the United States, "in the midst of war, has built the great- est sea -air power on Earth," The surface ships of the American na- tion now number 14,072, totalling almost 5,000,000 tons, and naval aircraft exceed 18,000. What has been achieved is con- veyed in the statement that "in July, 1940, the Navy received five Newly -completed vessels; in June 1943, almost 1,200; in July, 1940, the Navy received 25 new air- planes; in June, 19.43, almost 1,200." Between these dates the U.S. Navy built 2,200,000 tons of ships and added to its fleet air arm 23,000 aircraft. Many of the latter have since been written off as obsolete. Millions Of Sleds Ready In Russia Russia is preparing to throw a warmly -clad, swift, hard-hitting army against the Germans as falling temperatures on the south- ern and central fronts herald the approach of another bitter winter. Millions of sleds are be- ing accumulated to carry Red Array troops across snow fields that once were regarded as almost impassable.

Niagara Fulls, Canada. 55430 Bg CFIAPTER I It was about midday when Dave Bruce reined in his bay gelding and looked down into the valley below. For miles it seem- ed to extend, gradually rising up to the continuation of the moun- tain chain that walled it off from the badlands and the desert Immediately beneat''. him Dave saw one of the most prosperous - looking ranches that he had ever set eyes upon. There was the ranchhouse, the cluster of trim buildings on either side of it, the long bunkhouse, the corrals with straight fence -posts and taut wire gleaming in the noon sunlight. Sitting. his horse upon the top of the rise, Dave could see a clus- ter of punchers gathered about the remuda corral, which must have been at least three acres in e -,tent. Inside it several horses were milling, rearing, or dashing wildly around the interior. Every- thing stood out hard and clear it ,the crystal light. "Well, fella, this looks like business," Dave remarked to his gelding, which flicked an ear and went on grazing on the tufts of green grass. "They told us how Wilbur Ferris had the main spread in Mescal, but I never looked for anything like this. How'll it feel DAW N eyed, Dave watched the swarthy punchers, sizing up the group as his left-hand fingers rolled a cigarette, "Howdy!" he addressed the crowd. "I'm lookin' for Mr, Ferris." Nobody answered him but the scowls deepened. Wilbur Ferris' Cross -Bar certainly didn't seem a hospitable outfit. But a man came striding out of a nearby bunkhouse, a tall and stocky man of about thirty-five, with a mass of matted hair and black mustache. Bunches of mus- cles on the chest and arms. Dark, but unmistakably an American. The Mexicans were looking at him significantly, then glancing at Dave. "Well?" demanded the new - coiner. "You're foreman of this out- fit?" asked Dave. "If that's so, you want another hand." "Yeah! What makes you think so?" inquired the other in a sneering voice. "Look at the outfit you got." The two measured each other. Dave had Iit his cigarette and was puffing it easily, The Mexi- cans were watching the pair at - And then all hell was loosened. to be roundin' up steers again;" after our three months' holiday,,: fella?" ira * The bay raised his head a; Dave tautened the reins, and gan picking his way down precipitous descent that led the valley. Three or four miles away Dave could see the .roofs and house fronts of Mescal, hud- dled beside what looked like a neck of the valley. It was three months since Dave's outfit, with which he had,` been for two years, had been pushed to the wall by the depres- sion prices. Dave had now reach- ed the pointwhere it had be- come essential to settle down to work. The trail down which he was riding was certainly not in habit- ual use. At times it grew so steep that the bay put his fore- feet together and slid down in a shower of shale. Near the bot- tom came a fringe of aspen, with a layer of soft dead leaves, soggy with seeping's frons' one of the in- numerable streams that tumbled down into the valley on this side of the heights. * * * Then Dave was through the aspens and in the valley itself, and the bay was moving at an easy lope toward the horse cor- ral. Seven or eight men were gath- ered about it, but none of them was sitting on the rails, and Dave saw wily. The bunch of horses inside was unbroken, and every now and again one of them would make a furious lunge against the posts, or start on a wild career around the interior, ears laid back and teeth gleaming viciously. As he rode up, Dave saw that the outfit consisted of Mexicans or breeds. Sullen and' suspicious looks were directed toward him as he eased the bay to a stand- still and sat surveying the group. Twenty-five, tall, straight in his saddle, fair-haired and grey- tentively. There was a growing tension. . "Looks like you've rode far," said the foreman, eyeing Dave's horse, which was plastered with sweat and alkali dust. "Yeah, rode down from Utah." "That's a long ways from here." "I was two 'years With the. Bid- dle Brothers, till their outfit crashed.. Thought I'd see a bit of the country before settlin" down again. A feller in some town along -the road told me there might be a place on Mr. Ferris' ranch at Mescal. My name's Dave Bruce." * * * "I'm Curran. I got about all the hands I need. Might use a good one, but I've got to be shown." The sneer in the fore- man's voice had given way to a sort of purring note that Dave distrusted. "Fact is," Curran went on, "punchin' in these parts is different from up in Utah. I had one amachoor after another, and I got to be shown." "I'm willin' to show you," an- swered Dave, drawing in a last puff and throwing away the butt of his cigarette. "You are, huh? How about hawss-wranglin'? Think you could break one of them broncs in there?" Curran jerked his thumb toward the corral. "I'm willin' to try." "Fine!" grinned Curran, "Noth- in' better. You break that wild- eyed black in there, and I'll see about the job. Ready to start in now?" "I'm ready," answered Dave, clambering out of his saddle.

Twenty-five hundred bar g e a massed in ports across the Eng- lish Channel and the North Sea 'were to have carried Hitler's in- vasion hordes to the shores of England as the climax ofa five- week program culminating in mid- September. The planned preliminary steps were to have been the knocking out of the R.A.F. and then the bombing of London to shatter the will and ability of the British people to resist. This information, obtained from sources which may not be specs. Sled, presented a broader picture of events that occurred during those dark days than it was pos- sible to give then or since. Radio Location System Effective The daring and tireless pilots of the R.A.F. carried the major burden of throwing this enemy in- vasion program awry—The men who long ago were immortalized by the words of Winston Churc- hill: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." The R.A.P. then was out -num- bered four to one by the German air force's 3,450 planes. The force that battled back 400 German planes on September 15, 1940, and 850 on September 27 amounted to only 29 squadrons -- less than 350 planes—some of which fought three tunes in a day. Besides courage, the' R.A.F.'s big assets were a radio location s 'stein, an efficient operational system, and the Germans' se- quence of mistakes. The Germans counted on dive- bombing, b u t evasive tactics, which saved the Stukas in Spain failed to work in Britain. Without armor, the Nazi bombers were forced into high altitude pattern bombing by daylight—a system In which they didn't believe. Frenchmen Flee To The Mountains Interior Minister Andre Philip of the French Committee of Na- tional Liberation said recently that on the basis of reports from the "underground" there are more than 200,000 Frenchmen living in "illegality" in the Alps or Pyrenees after fleeing to avoid deportation to forceu labor In Germany. Forty thousane Frenchmen have been executed by the Ger- mans up to March, 1943, he said.
