For veal chops, cutlets or steak, it is a good plan to season the meat first, then dip it in flour, brown in fat, then cook slowly in a liquid or sauce until tender. Some cooks dip veal in milk before rolling in flour or crumbs, while others soak veal steaks or chops in well -seasoned Irrench dressing before adding the flour coating. * * * • VEAL PAPRIKA 111 pounds veal (?/a inch thick) V cup shortening 1 cup sliced mushrooms leg cup finely chopped onion 1 can condensed tomato soup 1 cup sour cream 1 1 bay leaf sra teaspoon salt V1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoons paprika Cut veal into 21/2 -inch pieces; brown on both sides in hot Melted shortening in a heavy skillet.

Saiesman Knew How is Pick Every time someone mentions the travelling salesman, you ex- pect a story about a farmer's daughter, but you'd be surprised to know that travelling sales- men have contributed in their own particular way important chapters to sports history. Back in 1907, a travelling salesman in Weiser, Idaho, with time on his hands stopped for a while to watch a sandlot ball game. A tall angular youngster pitched in the game. As • the travelling salesman watched with his mouth hanging open, the youngster whizzed the ball over the plate with the speed of a rifle bullet. Then, coming out of his fascinated trance,' the salesman grabbed a hack and l:N`T,S:!k ktib^ti;:;�•:c^.;:C xs�'`�;. SECOND OF THE DAY—At ct point roughly 10 miles from ground zero, technical photographers "shoot" the second atomic de, tonation at Yucca Flat, Nev. It was the first time two atomic blasts were set off in one day. First bomb was set off atop at 500 -foot tower, second bomb was dropped from a high flying bomber. drove to the railroad depot where he . dispatched a frenzied telegram to his friend, Joe Can- tiIlon, who, at the time, happen- ed to be the manager of the Washington Senators. "Just. saw a phenomenal sand- lot pitcher", read the telegram. "Grab the kid. He'll be a sensa- tion in the big time." Cantillon ignored the tele- gram. After all, sandlot play- ers were a dime a .dozen. The salesman continued to send wires, however, raving about the youngster. And finally, the Washington manager decided to take a chance on the unknown. The Idaho boy was signed to a contract. The tall, angular youngster, fresh from the sandlots, made his debut in fast company on August 2, 1907, against Detroit. All he had to face were such mighty sluggers as Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, and seven other rip-roaring sluggers who had made the Tigers the most feared club in the league! However, the sandlot youth didn't do too bad- ly. He dropped the decision oy 3 to 2, on a home run. Five days later, he faced Cleveland in his second test. This time he won, letting the Indians down with a measly four hits! That was the beginning of the victory parade for that sandlot pitcher. He remained in the big show for twenty years and cre- ated an amazing record. As a hurler in the big leagues, he struck out the fantastic total of 3,497 batters, a record that will probably stand for all time. At his peak, he won thirty -silt games in one season. Near the close of his career., he was still good enough to win twenty-four games and top it off with a winning effort in a twelvesin- Hing thriller that won a World Series championship for Wash- ington. You can hand it to that travelling salesman who picked up this boy in a sandlot game in Idaho. Baseballcan thank him for one of the greatest players who ever strode to the pitcher's mound, a"man who will be fa- mous forever as the "Big Train," the one and only Walter Sohn. son! PLAIN HORSE SENSE.. By E. (B3O11') FLUORIDATION One of the most important parts of good animal husbandry is the feeding of a balanced ra- tion,.which is usually described as furnishing protein, carbo- hydrates, fat and minerals in such proportion and amount as will properly nourish a given animal for 24 hours. It is fairly easy to achieve a satisfactory mixture of the first three mentioned nutrients, pro- tein, carbohydrates and fat, simply by sticking to long estab- lished and time proven formu- las. However, when it comes to the question of mineral supple- ments, opinions vary and vary considerably. While the average farmer may buy a commercial mineral mixture without pay- ing too much attention to the ingredients, the expert breeder and feeder will spend consider- able time and money to find the mineral mixture most suit - .able for his herd. Mineralshave many vital - •functions in the body, some of which are known; but there is still a large gap in the know- ledge concerning the majority.. Paying little attention to the so called trace minerals, meaning minerals appearing and needed only in small traces like iron, copper, iodine, boron etc, the practical farmer understands the necessity of feeding the two main - elements, calcium and phosphorus. He knows that without feeding calcium and phosphorus in one form or an- other, he is liable to run into trouble. Far too few though realize that it is equally impor- tant to ascertain the sources from which these minerals are • gained. Fluorine The safest supplement which will give both, calcium and phosphorus, are steamed bone meal, raw bone meal, spent bone black and dicalcium phosphate. If rock phosphates are . used, however, the careful feeder will make quite sure that the fluo- rine, usually contained in it, has been removed, to avoid any detrimental effects on his ani- mals. The bible of animal feeding, Morrison's "Feeds and Feeding", says that "it has long been known that fluorine is a violent poison when taken into the body in anyconsiderable amounts. Recent investigations h -ave shown, furthermore, that even very small amounts of this mineral have a poisonous effect if these amounts are steadily consumed over a long period of time." , Among the cases quoted by Morrison is one in Michigan. Due to the fluorine content in rock phosphate fed to dairy cattle, their teeth became so soft that they could not chew their feed properly. After two years the teeth were so worn that the animals were unable to drink cold water because of the pain, but lapped it up like dogs. Other experiments in Wiscon- sin gave similar results over a somewhat longer period and the cows had poor appetites, lost weight and declined in milk production. ()estrum was de- layed Widowing calving, and the calves were smaller than normal at birth. - In view of the little definite information available as to the safety with which products con- taining appreciable amounts o1` fluorine can be fed to the varix ous classes of live stock, Morri- son advises the use of a,. safe phosphorus' supplement such as bone meal, VON PILIS He, concludes with the state- ment that "it would seem . especially unwise to feed these fluorine - containing products in appreciable amounts to breeding animals for any extended length, of time." * This column welcomes criti- cism, suggestions and questions, whether -in the form of brick- bats or banquets. Address all mail to Bob Von Pilis, Whitby, Ont. - False Accusation One of the great clowns of baseball — and a more than fair pitcher at that -- was Arthur "Bugs" Raymond. He made Manager John Mc- Graw's life miserable, but just when McGraw was at the point of giving up on him, Bugs sol- emnly promised to 'reform. But McGraw wasstill suspi- cious, so, unknown to Bugs, he hired a tetective- to trail him one evening. When Bugs reported to the - club -house next day, McGraw asked, "What did you do last night?" "Why, nothing, Mac," inno- cently replied Bugs. "Just took a' walk and went to bed." John McGraw pulled out a long sheet of paper, "After -. leaving here last night" he read aloud, "Raymond proceeded to Costeilo's where he downed four quick ones." Bugs Raymond swallowed and said nothing. "He then went to Murphy's," continued the little manager. "In the next two hours, he knocked off five more drinks!" Still not a word *from Bugs. "Finally," concluded McGraw, "he went to Flynn's place, where he had three more quick ones and an onion sandwich." At this point, Bugs Raymond rose in his wrath, unable to contain himself any longer. "That dick of yours is a liar," he roared. "I never ate an onion sandwich in my life!" Bugs Raymond, the mad clown of basemall, stepped off the baseball -stage long before his time. One day, while still in his twenties, he was found in a lonely deserted sandlot, dead— with a knife in his back. He Was Dumb You've got to be an oldtimer to remember Luther Taylor and his amusing antics in the big leagues. Many years ago, he was a big league baseball star. He was one of baseball's greatest pitchers and most colorful stars in spite of the fact that he was deaf and dumb, They nicknamed him "Dummy" Taylor but he was nobody's dummy. In his prime, Taylor pitched for old John McGraw and the New York Giants. He had to, be more than just good for his pitching team mates were such stars as Christy Mathewson, "Snake" Ames, and Iron -man Joe McGinnity. But "Dummy Taylor held his own with the best of them. He won many a hard game for tough old John McGraw. In spite of his handicap,. "Dummy" was one of the most adroit umpire-baiters in the, game. There was the time when • he was on the mound pitching a particularly tough game. It began to rain suddenly, along about the fourth inning, and grew quite dark. The umpire,. however, stubbornly refused to call the game. The teams left the field and huddled in their dugouts waiting for the umpire to make up his mind. "Dummy" Taylor grew imps - tient. He slipped out of the dug- out and went back to the • dressing room. A few minutes later, he reappeared walking down the field from centerfield gate. When the fans caught sight of him, they roared with laughter. He was dressed in high rubber boots, a fisherman'srain- coat and hat, and he was carry- ing an open umbrella in one hand, and a lighted lantern in the other. The stubborn umpire grew red in the face at the di- rect way"' "Dummy" was remind- ing him that it was time to call the game. Without any further ado, the arbiter, now the laugh- ing stock of the fans and players In the ball park, hurriedly called the garne and got out of the vicinity as fast as he. could. When his playing days were over, "Dummy" Taylor left the game of baseball . with a proud ambition to find some youngster who wanted to play ball in the big time. He searched for many years until, one day,- he came across an eager kid named Dick Sipek. Taylor thought he saw in the boy the makings of a major leaguer. He watched him care- fully, gave him instruction, and finally got him up to the Bir- mingham team in • the minor leagues. There, Dick., Sipek made so fine a record that he tvas picked up by the Cincinnati Reds. Dick made good as a ma- jor league outfielder. Of course, the oldtimer, "Dummy" Taylor, was tickled pink : at the •kid's success. Any- one would be happy to send an ambitious youngster to the ma- jor leagues. But "Dummy" Tay- lor was - especially proud . and happy because Dick Sipek was more than •just an ordinary rookie who made good. He, too, was deaf and dumb., A great poet is the most pre- cious jewel of a nation. —Beethoven. SALLY'S SAWS ,fl..mhnll,M. Ur. Y.A", In,...I 4.10 "1 thought one clown in the family was enough.
