Muffins Always in Order
Properly Made, They Have* Won Position as Delicacy
Entitled to a Place of Honor at Either
Breakfast, Luncheon or Dinner.
Mufflnfe, says a culinary authority,
are officially breakfast and luncheon
hot breads, but I am sure they would
Snd ^welcome at any meal—tender,
piping hot, fresh from the oven.
How many different kinds of “gems,”
as they are sometimes known, belong
to the muffin family, and, how they
can differ In lightness, ^tenderness
.and richness!
To be really up to standard a
muffin must be light and it must be
more or less tender, but It need not
be rich. Popovers, for Instance.
which are A kind or mumn, are not
rich but they must be light and have
a certain amount of tenderness.
"Plain” muffins should be light and
tender but not rich. Tea muffins
should have all of these character
istics. Sometimes, of course, we
choose to use tea muffins for break
fast, luncheon and dinner. They are
the very finest member of the muffin
family. This is the mixture that is
often used as a foundation for fruit
muffins, such as blueberry or date.
To go back to popovers, those
puffy bits of crust enclosing nothing,
the secret of making popovers pop.
is to have a thin batter and to bake
them In a hot oven. The batter
should be as thick as really thick
cream. It is not necessary to beat
this mixture even enough to get out
all the lumps. The pan should be
heavy and should be heated before
greasing. Iron or earthenware are
probably the best types of pan for
re-heated in a moderate
popovers. The popovers should be
baked In a hot oven until puffed
brown, about half an hour. The fire
may then be turned out and the pop-
over allowed to stay In the oven ten
or fifteen minutes longer. This
method guarantees they will come
up to their name. ,
For muffins we ufce a thicker bat
ter, like a thick cake mixture. The
plain muffins are mixed very quickly,
the dry Ingredients'sifted and mixed
together, the egg and Iftiuid well
mixed. I like to pour the first mix
ture all at one time Into the others
and then stir until smooth. Last of
all, the melted fat, cooled a little
after being melted. Is added. When
muffins are made in this way they
are rather coarse grained. If you
wish a finer grain, cut the fat into
the flour, or cream with the sugar.
For rich muffins the latter method
is used and we actually get tea
cakes. Blueberries In summer, and
dates or raisins In wlnte" are the
fmlt.a mnat nfton used In ninglna.

AH courts have an H-shaped space
to play In. Very old ones of the
South had several round altars In
the center, and the aide walls en
closing the field sloped. Northern
courts lost their altars as centuries
went by, their side ,walls became
vertical, and big stone rings were
placed In them for the ball to go
through. The Monte Alban court
seems to fall between these types, as
Its walls still slope and are with
out a stone ring, although It had
already lost all but one of Its cen
tral altars. It t* therefore likely
that Monte Alban was occupied a
thousand years ago.

Will America’s football stadiums

civilization a thousand years or so
from now? asks the writer of a bul

comes to mind, he says, with the
news that archeologists in Mexico
have placed the age of a seemingly
ageless city by taking note of its ball
games.
The city Is the famous Monte Al
ban, today a maze of burled ruins
perched on a mountain ridge. Monte
Alban gained 'its widest modern
fame when Mexican archeologists

Bran muffins are great favorites
at present. Molasses is often used
as th* sweetening with them. They
have a nntty flavor that Is much
liked.
Baking powder Is usually used to
raise muffins. As the eggs are few
the amount of baking powder Is
comparatively larger; the less fat
used, the more baking powder Is
needed for tender muffins.
Sometimes soar milk or buttermilk
and soda are used as leavening. The
proportion la one-half teaspoon to
each cup of sour milk. As we can
not be perfectly certain of the
amount of acid in the milk I like to
add one teaspoon of baking powder
to plain muffins or one-half teaspoon
to rich muffins In addition.
Muffins need a moderate oven. 375
degrees Fahrenheit, and when they
are of medium size they should bake
about 25 minutes. Smaller muffins
win bake In 15 or 20 minutes.

The inventions of two Civil war
time acientists who were born at
least a half century too early—and
thus lost millions of dollars of po
tential earnings—have been discov
ered.
What had they achieved?.
Well, one of them—S. R. Calthorp
of Roxhury, Mass.—obtained a pat
ent 03 a streamline railroad some
seventy years ago, the same type of
bullet-shaped car that is today’s l*f-’
est transportation development. Jack
Diamond tells us, In the Chicago
Daily News.
And the other Inventor, J. R. Barry
of Philadelphia, tfcn years before that
—In 1855—was granted a patent on
an air-conditioning and cooling sys
tem for passenger cars. The first
air-conditioned train was actually In
troduced by .the Baltimore A Ohio
almost three-quarters of a century
later. Id 1929.
Explanation for the long Interval
between issuance of the patents and
actual materialization was given by
the man who called attention to the
ancient patents. *
"Barry and Calthrop were certain
ly pioneer inventors and, like many
pioneers, were far ahead of their
time," stated Charles L. Howard, as
slstant general counsel for the West
ern Railroad association.
"They planted the seeds for air-
conditioning and streamlining of
trains, but it took the opportune mo
ment and skilled engineers to culti
vate the seeds to a successful growth
as they are today.
“For many year* following the
days of Barry and Cfalthorp comfort
and speed of travel were not the im
portant things.
"Jt was only necessary that we
be moved from place to place with
out-the loss of limb or life.
"Today It Is different. We demand
In addition to safety the utmost com
tort and a mlle-or-two-a-mlnute
pace, and we are getting It In every

But to the archeologists, whose first
question about a place la "How
old la It?” Monte. Alban remained
a mystery. Tbs treasure tomb dis
covery added to tbe enigma, for It
was "foreign” cache belonging to an
other culture deposited therw - for
some reason not yet discovered.
Dated tomba are being found In
Monte Alban, but archeologists can
not yet read Zapotec Indian hiero
glyphs, as they can Aztec and Mayan
ones. Excavations of three seasons
