San Diego, Calif.—The War De
par tment last week broadcast a
tion-wide appeal to Ex-Service Men
to join a reserve corps of “American
Minute Men” to be instantly ready for
action in case of War. Seventy-five
thousand able-bodied former soldiers
were asked to give their services to
the country again should war come.
The call to colors was addressed to ex
enlisted men under 36 years of age,
whether married or single. -Following

we thought it advisable to call
the attention of interested and
affected persons to the fact that
in laying these mains some m
convenience is bound to result to
the property owners while
work is in progress. It will no
doubt become necessary to block
the driveways and entrances to
residences and other buildings
for a limited time while the cut
ches are being dug and the mains
laid. The work will also inter
fere to some extent with trat
fic generally. It will likely prove
impossible to do the ditching
without damaging or cutting one
or more water pipes, since it can
not always be determined just
exactly where these pipes are
cated. In the above and all oth
er matters of inconvenience that
may arise, we earnestly request
the patience and co-operation of
all persons who may become af
fected and in return we promise
our fullest co-operation to carry

IMPRESSIONS.
Finkelberg was anxious to make a
good impression on the wealthy man
whose daughter he hoped to marry,
so he called in a shadchan (marriage
broker).
“Listen,” aaid Finkelberg, “tonight
I call on the girl’s father, and I want
you to come along. No matter what
I say about myself, you exaggerate it,
so that I will seem modest, and you
will be able to ‘sell’ me befter.”
The shadchan agreed, and the two
went on their errand together.
The rich parent began the conversa
tion. “Are you in business, Mr. Fink
elberg ? ”
“Yes, I have a little shop.”
“A little shop!” cried the shadchan
promptly. “It’s a factory, 200 yards
long!"
“Have you any money in the bank,
Mr. Finkelberg?”
“Yes, a few thousand.”
“A few thousand!” thundered the
shadchan. “He’s got nearly a million,
let me tell you!”
“Have you a car, Mr. Finkelberg?”
“Yes, a little one.”
“A little one!” cried the shadchan.
“He’s got a magnificent car.”
Just then Finnkelberg coughed,
“Have you a cold?” the rich father in
quired.
“A cold!” the shadchan cut in very
quickly. “He’s got consumption!”
Good News.
Tommy—Mother, teacher asked
about our families and whether we
had brothers and sisters.
Mother, it was nice of him to take
all that interest in you. What did you
say?
Tommy—I said that I was an only
child.
Mother—What did the teacher say?
Tommy—He sighed and said
“Thank heavens.”

COOKING LAMB AND
MUTTON.
Any cut of lamb is tender enough to
be prepared by roasting, but all
are not of a shape to be so cooked.
The whole leg of lamb, the loin,
ribs, the shoulder, or the boned breast
of lamb all make delicious roasts. The
boned cuts may be stuffed rather than
rolled. Ribs from both sides of the
carcass may be shaped into a crown
roast.
Place the meat, with the cut surface
of the leg up, on a rack in an
roasting pan, adding no water.
the thermometer so as to reach the
thickest part of the leg, then season,
Place in an oven preheated to about
500 degrees F. and allow to sear for
20 to 30 minutes; then reduce the oven
temperature quickly to about 275 de
grees F. and allow the meat to con
tinue to cook slowly until the meat
thermometer registers 170 to 180 de
grees F., depending on the desired
degree of doneness. Well done lamb
varies more with the various carcas
ses than other meats, but in general,
the time averages about 35 minutes
per pound. .
It is an art to be able to make
gravy of exactly the right consistency
and flavor. Gravies made with
are especially desirable with beef
lamb roasts or chops, while the flavor
of milk gravy blends well with pork
and veal.
Remove the roast, chops, or steak
from the cooking pan, and place the
pan over a moderate fire. Stir drip
pings and fat in the frying pan until
smooth and then add the flour. The
amount of fat in the pan must not ex
ceed the amount of flour added, or
free fat will float on top of the gravy.
Either pour off excess fat, or add
enough of the meat fat or buttear to
make up the desired amount.
Stir the flour and fat together un
til it browns to a deep brown, add
boiling water slowly, allowing one cup
of water for every two tablespoons of
flour added. Stir constantly to pre
vent lumping.
iLamb lends itself to many varia
tions of chops and steaks. Chops may
be cut from the ribs or loin, and slices
from the leg or shoulder may be pre
pared as steaks.
Ribs, cut as chops, may be boned to
form Polled chops, or have the flesh
removed from the rib end to form
-French chops. A paper frill may be
put on the bone end for decoration.
Chops cut double thickness and split
for stuffing are another variation pos
sible with lamb and pork,
Chops are broiled or pan broiled
like steaks, except that the cuts are
smaller and usually thinner and re
quire less time. After browning, turn
the fire lower to finish the cooking.
Accompaniments for chops include:
Scalloped vegetables, celery, cauli
flower, cabbage or potatoes.
Vegetables or fruits (browned in a
small amount of fat) such as carrots,
onions, parsnips, slices of pineapple,
cored circles of apples or bananas cut
in half, lengthwise.
Raw vegetables, parsley, water
cress, celery, shredded cabbage, grated
raw carrots, raw cauliflower broken
into sections.
(Other additions, tart jellies, such as
choke cherry, highbrush, cranberry,
and wild plum; also fruit pickles of
crab apples, peaches or ground cher
ries.
Breast, shoulder, neck, flank and
trimmings are all good for lamb
stew. Wipe the meat with a damp
cloth, cut into small pieces, and roll
in flour. Melt the butter in a skillet,
add the noion, cook until it turns yel
low, and add the meat.
When the meat and the onion have
bro'wned delicately, transfer them to
a kettle, and add the water, after first
pouring it into the skillet so as to get
full benefit of the browned fat. Cov
er and simmer for lone hour.
Then add the turnip, green pepper,
and seasonings, and cook 20 minutess
longer. If the stew is not thick
enough, add one tablespoon of flour
mixed with two tablespoons of cold
water, and oook for several minutes
longer, stirring constantly. Serve pip
ing hot with browned potatoes and
garnish with parsley.
Markers for Graves of
Yets Can Be Ordered
Charles -F. Richter, service officer
for the local post of the American Le
gion, announced this week that suit
able government grave markers for
the graves of Confederate, Spanish
American and World War veterans
can now be procured free by proper
application.
He says he will assist anyone desir
ing a marker in preparing the appli
cation for it.
