INCOME—
The difference between the in
vestor and the speculator is that
the investor thinks in terms of in
come and the speculator thinks in
terms of price.
I lunched the other day with a
real investor. He hasn’t a very
large surplus, but every time le
can get $100 together he buys
some dividend paying stocks, usual
ly several shares for his $100. He
showed me the list of his recent
purchases—the solidest business
and industrial institutions in Am
erica. And even though some of
them have reduced their dividends,
he can count on better than ten per
cent a year on his investments.
“They may go lower,” he said.
“I don’t care. They may go high
er. I know that if these compan
ies fail everything is sunk, and I
am confident that isn’t going to
happen. I’ll be enjoying a good
income in my old age and my heirs
will have something to cash in on,
and that’s all I am concerned
about.”
I think one of the troubles in this
country today is that too many peo
ple think they have lost money be
cause they can’t cash in today, for
as much as they paid for their in
vestments, and too few are think
ing of secure income for the future
instead of big profits for tomorrow.
ANTIQUES—
I went the other night to the an
nual national exhibition of antiq
ues. I saw some beautiful things,
but also a lot of junk that gave me
a pain in the neck. Apparently,
anything that dates from before
j 1900 is an antique nowadays. Amaz
ing prices were asked by dealers for
cobblers’ benches, horse-shoers’
kits, wooden churns, tin dippers and
other every-day things that are
still to be found in more or less
profusion around almost every
farm and village.
One dealer boasted to me that he
could prove that some very cheap
glassware, such as I always saw on
the table at home, was made as far
back as 1882. And he wanted sev
eral dollars apiece for items that
used to cost a quaretr, merely be
cause they were “antiques.”
My wife and I have bought a lot
of antiques. Our old farmhouse is
nearly a hundred and fifty years
old, and it pleases us to furnish it
with old pieces, when we can buy
them cheaper than we could buy
equally good new stuff, and if they
are still useful. But we never buy
anything merely because it is old.
CONTENTMENT—^
I had a letter the other day from
my old friend, Walter Scott Merri-
weather, whom I hadn’t seen since
he was ship news reporter on the
old New York Herald, fifteen or
twenty years ago, and everybody
called him “Skipper.” Instead of
sticking around in the big city af
ter the old Herald was sold, he went
down to Charleston, Mississippi,
and bought a country newspaper.
The Mississippi Sun is one of the
best local weeklies that I see, and
“Skipper” Merriweather is one of
the most contented men I know. I
don’t know how old he is, out forty-
seven years ago he was a sailor in
.he United States Navy and served
on the old freighter Constitution.
He went to see the Constitution
when she was tied up at Gulfport
recently, and wrote a mighty inter
esting article about it for his paper.
I know a lot of city newspaper
men who have no jobs and no in
come for their old age. I don’t
know of a single country newspaper
editor who is actually in want.
COLOR—
One of the next big revolutionary
inventions will be a hand camera
which will take snapshots of mov
ing objects in the actual colors of
nature. And that is going to be
followed by new printing inven
tions which will enable newspapers
to print pictures in their natural
colors as readily as they do now in
black and white.
I don’t know how soon it will
come, but I know several people
who are working on it and who
think they are pretty close to it.
The world that our grancdhildren
will inhabit will be far more brill
iantly colored than the one we are
living in now, just as ours is more
brilliant than that of our grand
parents.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS
In The Diet; Best
Now Low In Cost
“Right now, the highest quality
protein food may be purchased for
very little money,” states the Na
tional,Live Stock and Meat Board.
The human body needs animal pro
tein and at present prices, there are
no cheaper sources than meat and
eggs.
In telling of her experiences in
shopping for meat, one homemaker
reports that she bought enough
meat for her family of five for four
days for less than two dollars. Al
though prices vary in different sec
tions, this housewife’s bargains are
typical of what any shopper will
find.
The meats purchased on these
four days were boned shoulder of
lamb, boned fresh pork butt, pork
chops, and a flank steak. The
only waste was the small amount of
bone in the pork chops since all
three of the other cuts were bone
less. There was enough of the roast
lamb and the roast pork to be used
as left-overs. The recipes for
these dishes are given below:
Mock Duck
1 flank steak
1 teaspoon salt
1-8 teaspoon pepper
1-8 teaspoon ginger
3 tablespoons fat drippings
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 slice boiled ham, chopped
1 pint boiling water
Wipe flank steak and season with
salt, pepper, and ginger, if liked.
Heat fat in frying-pan, add bread
crumbs and the rest of the ingredi
ents, and spread evenly over the
ingredients, and spread evenly ov
er the steak. Roll and sew the edges
together with coarse thread. Place
the “duck” in frying-pan or heavy
kettle with a little fat. Sprinkle
well with flour, let brown, add 1
pint boiling water, cover closely and
let simmer about 2 hours or until
tender. It may me cooked in a
moderate oven (350 degrees Fah
renheit). Remove strings and
serve hot in its own sauce.
Stuffed Cushion of Lamb
Select a shoulder of lamb weigh
ing 3 to 4 pounds. Have the bones
and the fell removed at the mar
ket. Save the bones for making
broth. Wipe the meat with a damp
cloth. Sprinkle the inside of the
pocket with salt and pepper, pile
stuffing in lightly, and sew the
edges together. Rub salt, pepper,
and flour over the outside. If the
shoulder has only a very thin fat
covering, lay several slices of bacon
over the top. Place the roast on a
rack in an open pan without water.
Sear for 30 minutes in a hot oven
(480 degrees Fahrenheit). If bacon
is laid over the roast, shorten the
time of searing so as to avoid over
browning. Reduce the temperature
of the oven to 300 degres Fahren
heit, and cook at this temperature
until tender, about 2 1-2 to 3
hours.
Pork Chops with Spinach
Purchase 6 shoulder pork chops.
Dredge with flour and season with
salt and pepper. Sear both sides;
reduce the heat and cook 30 min
utes. Put a layer of hot cooked
spinach in a casserole, and arrange
the chops on top. Have ready 1 1-2
cups thin white sauce and iust as
you remove it from the fire, add 2
beaten egg yolks to it. Pour sauce
'>ver chops and spinach and
prinkle liberally with gratea
,eese. Place in a hot oven or
der broiler flame to brown the
eese.
Roast Fresh Boston Butt
Have the bone removed from a
esh Boston butt. This makes a
!ce small pork roast and is very
;onomical. Wipe meat with a
amp cloth. Place on a rack in
an uncovered pan and put in a hot
wen (480 degrees Fahrenheit). Sear
for 15 minutes or until nicely
orowned. Then reduce the tem
perature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit
and continue cooking until the
meat is tender. Allow 45 minutes
for each pound plus the searing
period.
