nr, SO 0-0 : 2 Popoversl Cn _~- Popovers are « happy change from * the mufiins and rolls usually served at luncheons and breakfasts. Strangely «enough, however, they hespeak an un- known realmi to many a housewife and .she hesitates to include them fn her. menus. Yet the secret of delicate popovers lies in the simple and easily < controlled factor----temperature, The materials--milk, flour, eggs and salt--required to make popovers are always at hand. If an emergency arises, it's an easy matter to stir up a dozen of these fascinating shells and they are sure to be liked, ~ "Popping" Explained When the physical change that takes place during the baking of pop- overs is understood the mystery of thelr "popping" becomes clear. Milk contains a large percentage of water and the sudden application of intense heat to the popover batter causes the water rapidly to change to steam, Stéam is, of course, many times the volume of water and stretches the gluten walls of the flour to their ut moat. This with the help of the egg forms the hollow shell of the popover, This explains the necessity of pre- heating both the pans and the oven. Iron or cast aluminum gem pans and glass or earthenware custard cups 'are suitable for popover haking. The lighter weight gem pans can be used, but the popovers do not always "pop" ag they-should, You will find popovers an unusually versatile . breadstuff, They can be used as. a case for creamed chicken or fish in place of. the usual timbale. shell or patty case, - Creamed dried; beet served in. popovers is a bit more fes- tive than plain dried beef. Used for a dessert .with a filling or with a sauce poured over them they reduce the amount of sugar in the menu .to an appreciable degree. Popavers piping hot from the oven served with fresh maple syrup make a deliciously sea- sonal early spring dessert. ASE The following rule wiil' make twelve papoavers of two-inch iron gen pan size.

It is often cooked until it turns pink or dark in color, and it that is the way your cabbage looks 'when you serve it, you are overcooking it, Properly cooked cabbage should be white or slightly green in color. It should be covered and cooked in plenty of rapid. ly boiling, salted water, for not more than 12 minutes by the clock. Cab- bage cooked in this way is still crisp and fresh looking and will not injure anyone's digestion, -provided the per- son is>well and normal, - ° Cabbage thus cooked will be appe- tizing. Make it more so by seagon- ing with butter or cream, salt and pep- per, and some finely mince parsley or finely chopped raw: carrots, ., Before' cooking the cabbage,.cut it in 'elghths or-in inch thick slices or wedges. This makes it easler to serve. Young or.new cabbage should be cooked for seven minutes only. Red cabbage requires about 20 minutes for proper cooking, : Cabbage With Parsley Chop 1 head cabbage fine as for cole slaw.

Approximately 750,000 acres of the lend had been granted to the owners by government concession' while the remainder was government land on which, squatters hud settled and for which no legal title was held. ) It is expected that further study of land grants, of which there have been over 7,000, will result in the re- turn to the government of other large areas,' The land recovered, will be grantea to colonists who will make use of it.

Nothing is dearer to a mother's heart than to dream of the day when her boy or girl will set up his will against the world and beat it. . If she is an observing person she knows that - few people succeed through lucky breaks. Also she knows that few get there altogether by brains.

' 'No Half Measure If all children were alike the answer might be to take a safe middle course, and to do both, encouraging obedience, at the same time being careful not to break spirit. Usually a keen parent can and does work this out pretty well, But the truth is that the very strong-willed child presents a problem and bafles the best of us. He seems to know no half-measure but wants his own way all the time.

Modern Homes Call For Flat Roofs New York.--Pitched roofs have no place in the new order of home con- struction, and flat roofs, which serve as an evening gathering place for the families, will supercede them, it was predicted recently, "Pitched roofs had a place in home architecture in the days when builders knew less about construction and ma- terials, but with to-day's knowledge they are no more necessary than are pitched roofs on skyscrapers," sald Mr. Affleck. "Among the objections to flat-roofs in the northern states is the question of snow. But hy building the root with a w.terti,l', slab and proper drainage the need tor the slop- ing roof ha been eliminated. "There is now a definite trend to- ward what we call the modern home, which owes its beauty to its slmplic- ity.

"The modern home with a flat roof offers an oportunity to take advantage of space that formerly was entirely wasted or did little good.

Duke Wins Apology From Titled: Niece Libellous Article appearing in Fashionable Magazine Cause of Action London. -- The battling Duke of Westminster, who loves.a fight in war in his latest one--a one-round court dispute with his niece, the literary Earl of Beauchamp. In behalf of Lady Sibell and four co-defendants in a libel action by the Duke, Sir Patrick Hastings, King's Counsel,: announced in the King's 'Bench Division of the High Court that all apologized sincerely, The libel of which the Duke com- plained appeared in the Christmas is. sue of the Oxford and Cambridge magazine, much fancled by the smart set, Lady Sibell, a frequent contri- butor, sald of the tremendously wealthy and free-spending Duke that he spent too much money in France instead of England, and asked: "Is this setting a good example?" The Duke is known naotionally as a most generous landlord to the ten. ants on his great estate and in the London, of which he owns acres. On the occasion of his last and third mar- riage--the others ended in court fights and divorces to the wives on statutory grounds--he remitted many thousands of pounds in rents as a reverse Eng. lish wedding gitt. "Lady Sibell's article implied that the Duke was unpatriotic and wholly indifferent to his responsibilities to the country," gald the defendants' lawyer, "Such suggestions are utterly ridf- cuwlous, The defendants offer the most complete withdrawal and thei: sincer- est apologles." He added that they would pay the costs of the action and publish an apology in newspapers. The Duke those terms.

Rome To Open | Tiber"s Mouth Breakwater and Quay Will Allow Ships to Reach City Gates tome, --Modern Rome will, like an- cient Rome, have its port on the same, site where Claudius and Trajan built theirs. Rome's port will flourish on the right branch of the Tiber, The sea Fas continuously receded and owing to tha extensive deposits of sand and marl, the present mouth of the river is two miles listant from where it was when Claudius lived, The plan for the Port »° Rome is that drawn by the late Professor Luigi Luigi, a hydraulic engineer, and completed by his pupil engineer, Gino Ceari, The mouth of the Tiber will be utilized as a harbor and will be con- nected with the bathing resort, Ostia, To the right of the present village of Iiumicio, where the artificial arm ot the Tiber reaches the sea and where it is deep since sandbanks are formed in the opposite direction, it is proposed to biild a breakwater and quays. Conimunications with the Tiber will thus be opened and the river will be navigable to steamers of average tonnage as far as St, Paul's Gate in Rome: The zone of the lower valley of the new port is the same as that of the Claudian port which was in use for eight centuries, Luiggi's plan has the advantage that it will not imply a considerable expense, and the vork will not take long. As the pr.posed breakwater will be only 200 n.cters long and the quays along the banks of the river measure only 100 meters, civil engin- cers have estimated the entire cost of the port at about 5,000,000 lire, The decision to build Rome's port is virtually certain, especially because idea, The plan.is now undzr examina- tion and its adoption is regarded as a foregone conclusion: - Two.
