Some Points to Recall
When Cooking Sausages
Slow and steady the rule to re- ,
member when cooking bacon and
sausage for best flavor, tender, tex
ture and least waste, home econ
omists say. By keeping the heat
low these meat products can be
cooked thoroughly without drying,
hardening, or scorching.
Slow cooking has another ad
vantage. It saves the fat in these
meats from reaching the smoking |
point where it becomes less di
gestible and changes the flavor.
Turn slices when partly cooked
for even cooking on both sides.
Pour off the fat from the pan as the j
bacon cooks. \Vhen done lift onto I

To pan-fry links, place in a frying ft
pan with a few tablespoons of \va- itt
ter. cover and steam five minutes. £
Th n remove the cover and cook H
over low heat, turning frequently
until the sausage is brown and any
water in the pan has cooked away, .ft

Big Floods and Small
Floods on the main nvers usual
ly occur during the winter and early
spring, but floods on small streams
are more likely during the summsr,
specialists of the U. S. department
of agriculture point out. Newspo-
pers headline the big floods whicrh
• affect, towns, cities, industrial areas S|
and large farm areas in the but- ^
tomlands, but seldom mention tie ft
many floods along small strean s. §
which may damage only parts of in- ft
dividual farms along the stream.
Ninety years of records of floori ft
peaks on the Ohio river at Cin
cinnati (a drainage area of 76,5d0
square miles) show that 85 floodS
occurred during the winter and
spring months and only five in the
i remainder of the year. In contrast
i the 11 years of records of a small
j Ohio watershed of less than 10
, square miles shew only one each J
, spring flood; the qther 19 floods rxj-
j curred during the summer, -tt*
growing season tor crops.

How Lie Detector Works
Even though an experienced liar
may suppress oqtward signs when ♦.*
he lies, there is usually some •
change in h» blood pressure, res
piration and the activity of the ;
sweat pores. The “lie detectc*” is -i
an instrument that measures these »
effects in a suspect. He is as£ed a ft
series of questions, most of which $
are rather commonplace, hut a ft
few of special significance have $
been inserted. His reactions to i||
these are particularly noted. Con* |
siderable practice and sfctll is re- |
quired to interpret the readings. '
Various heart and other organic
ailments, intoxication, influence of |
narcotics and abnormal mental (
conditions may also affect the
readings.

Most Literate Indians
What is called the “only literary
pension” in America was the $300
annually voted by the Cherokee
Indians of North Carolina to Se- $
quoyah, who invented the devised ft

ters. It was so simple that chil- ft
dren learned to read and write in
a few days, and enabled the Chero-

all American Indians. At one time
