" ' CHEAP CUTS OF MEAT IMPROVED BY USING SUGAR Sugar Blends Dcliciously with Meat Juices and Seasonings One of the most inexpensive meat stews to make is the famous Mexican dish Chili Con Carne. The recipe, which is very simple, follows: Slice fine, two onions and cook slowly in four tablespoons of fat in a covered kettle until soft not brown. Then add one and one half pounds round steak or cheaper hcef cut in small cubes and cook until the meat starts to fry. Stir in one to three tablespoons Chili powder, mixed in a little water, one teaspoon salt and two teaspoons sugar. . Next add one quart hot water and one-half cup tomato puree or juice. Simmer until meat is very tender and the stew is of a thick consistency. Serve with pota toes, rice, com or hominy and a salad. This meal topped with a sweet dessert is most satisfying and prop erly balanced. Sugar can be similarly used when you stew, braise or pot-roast cheap cuts of beef or lamb ; and a dash of sugar to a pinch of salt noticeably improver the flavor of vegetables. Most foods are more delicious with sugar. The Sugar Institute. Society Editor Until 9:30 a. m.

Beads and Barbarism From time immemorial the hu man race resorts to bends and trin kets for ornament ns well ns for charms against the forces of evil. In Genesis, we read that the serv ant of Isaac brought earrings and bracelets to Itebeknh, as well ns to her brother and her mother; in Exodus, we line both men and worn, en, as many as were willing-heart ed, brought bracelets ninl earrings, and rings and Jewels of gold as nn offering for the building of the tubernacle. Wood, Colored by Hand There Is no known means of fix ing the color of nny soft woods Khun they are exposed to light and weather. All woods fade In a more or less degree (ebony, sntlnwood. Cuba or Spanish mnhoguny, the leutit) under exposure. The rich ness and color of the woods chiefly used now In furniture and paneling Is largely produced by the art of the French polisher, but fine qual ity hard woods will retain their color (Indoors only) for centuries. Bricks Never Imported Wilstnch says It is a pleasing but mprubahle tradition that bricks ere brought from England for lulldlng In Virginia. There was an tbundance of excellent brick clay i sere and no reason for importing ' rlcks. The tradition probably hod ! Is origin not In the fact of the i place where the bricks were made ut In the trade phrase. "Dutch i Jrlck" and "English brick." These :erms referred to sljes. Dutch j srick were small and English brick urgo. Architectural Idea i The Greek architect Vetruvlns asserted that columns at the cor ners of a temple should be made ' fiftieth thicker in diameter, beennse these outer columns seem smaller ; than tbey really are.

STARTS TODAY n TUP A A nnt To Reopen Fight On Differential In Grain Rates OLYMPIA. Wash., May 5 ( The battle of Puget Bound porta against the Columbia river grain rate differ ential Is to be carried to the courts, Fred K. Baker, director of the de partment of public works, said yes terday, Tho order upholding the differen tial was Issued by the I. O. O. nearly a year ago. Subsequently the depart ment requested the. commission to reopen Its Investigation of Western grain rates on the grounds a "great Injustice was being done Fuget sound ports." . The departments. decision to carry tho case to the federal court, Baker said, was mado after the commission Indicated lt would not reopen Its Investigation or hold a rehearing. - The action of the department. Baker said, marks a continuation of the fight of Puget sound ports to win a parity In grain rates with Port land. The fight against the differ ential opened In 1910 when the In land Empire Shlppors loaguo and tho Oregon publlo - servloe commission filed a complaint with the I. O. O. contending the route down tho Co lumbia river to Portland was water grade and operating costs for the railroads were less, compared with lo mountain grade to Puget sound. Prom 1887 to 1921 tho rates from points on tho Northern Paolflo and O. W. B. Sc N., both In Oregon and Washington, south of Bnake river, Pendleton and West, were on a par ity to Portland and Pugot ound. Asa result of tho complaint, bit terly opposed by Puget sound ter minals, tho commission held the rates to Portland were prejudicial and tho differential of two cents per 100 pounds was ordered Into effect. The case was reopened In 1994 by Walla Walla farm bureau but was dismissed by the commission, whloh at that time held that only by the continuance of the differential could Portland be accorded tho benefltc to which lt was entitled by reason of Its natural advantages. The question was again submitted to the commission by the Hochsraltl resolution enaoted by congress in 1026. Tlia resolution ordered a gen eral Investigation of Western grain rates. Although a commissioner and two examiners who heard all the testi mony repommonded. that the parity of rates should be restored, the com mission, Bakor said, assumed the op posite courso and reaffirmed Its for mer decision.
