EXPERTS There's Even a Right Way to Cook Bacon House wives Should Know How Fats Behave Under Heat Anybody can cook bacon? They don't agree to that In the Bureau of Home Economics, In the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. They nay there is decidedly a right way Lay the strips of bacon In ft cold or modera tely hot frying pan. Cook alowly and turn the bacon frequently. Or lay the bacon strips on a broiler and cook at moderate heat, likewise turning fre quently. When nicely browned lift the slices to a piece of absorbent pa per to drain off the excess fnt. The point where Inexperienced cooks go wrong is at the start where you should hat gradually, and never let the fat get hot enough to smoke. There are penalties for breaking this rule. You may spoil the flavor of the becon also of the drippings which you could otherwise save and use. You got a smelly smoke all through the house. Also, the smoking fat puts a greasy coating on walls and celling and dust settles there. This happens -no matter what you fry. If the fnt gets too hot. And the reason Is that when tat begins to smoke It begins to decompose. What gets Into the air and on the walls are the products of that decomposi tion, some of them very disagreeable. All Fats iSmnke rats, the chemists tell us, are com posed of fatty acids and glycerol (glycerin to most of us). There are a good many fatty acids, and the dif ferences between the kinds of fat de pend mainly on the combinations of fatty acids they contain. Most fats are liquid or solid according to tem 'perature. All fats "smoke" and de compose when heated beyond a cer tain point. The melting point and the smoking point vary, however, with the composition of the fat, so the cook's problem Is to know what to expect of the particular fat she Is using. Not only for frying must the cook know how fats behave. She uses them also for "shortening" In breads and cakes a dnpastrles, where the prob lem Is not smoking temperature but shortening power. Th fat best for frying may not be the best for short ening. The common cooking fats Include such animal fats as lard and beef suet, which are solid unless heated, and a number of vegetable fata cot tonseed, corn, peanut, olive, coconut, sesame seed which are solid In dif ferent forms, some solid, some llqutd. All theso are practically 100 percent fat. There are also "compounds." which are mixtures of animal fats, or animal and vegetable fats. In solid form. Then thereare butter and the margarines. Lard Is "rendered fat from pork pork fat with the connective tissue cooked up Into , "orackllns" and strained out. Beef suet Is beef fat which Is not "rendered." The connec tive, tissue in beef fat Is Under enough to be chopped up, along with the fat, and used In puddings. Of the vegetable oils, one of the most familiar Is cottonseed oil which has been "hydrogenated" to make the oil solid at ordinary tcmporaturos. This product Is sold In sealed tins under various trade names. You can also buy hydrogenated lard. Fats For Various Needs You choose your cooking fat, of course, according to how you want to use It. For deep-frying, you need a fnt which does not smoke until very hot, such- as the vegetable oils, solid or liquid, and high quality lard. Even when you have the right fat for the purpose, however, you can't tell by looking at It when It Is hot enough. Besides, you have to al low for a difference In frying tem peratures for different foods. Cold, wet, raw foods, like potatoes for French frying or potato chips, will cool the fnt. which must therefore be hotter at first thou Is necessary to cook the potato. Foods already cooked, such as croquets, do not need to be cooked again, but merely heated through nnd browned on the outside. For doughnuts and fritters, you need lens heat bccnu.se ynu must glee them more time to cook. But how ore you to know when the fnt is Just hot enough? If you have a thermometer, that Is easy. For doughnuts and fritters, the thermometer in the fut should reg ister around aso to 30s degrees Knr enlu'lt. For croquettes, around 306 to 300. For potato chips or French SlWiX, still higher 380 to 300 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, test with a 1-lnch cuoe of bread. When such a cube becomes golden brown In 60 seconds, the fat Is right for doughnuts or fritters. When It browns In about 40 seconds. It Is Just right fur croquettes. When It browns In 30 seconds, the fat Is hot enough for potato chips. SILVERWARE FOR FRIENDS Of course there ts trouble If the fat is not hot enough. In that case the food takes up too much fat and becomes soggy and greasy. Keep" Han Heat Down Tot pan-frying you use most any fat, or you use meat drippings, es pecially salt pork and bacon drip pings for the flavor they give. If you have plenty of butter you often use that. Or If you cook the Italian way, you fry In olive oil. But the point In pan-rfylng Is to keep the heat down not too low, but low enough to be sure the fat does not smoke, as It Is more likely to do because It Is spread thin over the frying pan. But ter, margarines, some lard, olive oil, and meat drippings all smoke before they get very hot. The fats used for shortening are as a rule the solid ones lard, butter, margarines, "compounds" and the various hydrogenated vegetable oils and hydrogenated lard. You use shortening In breads, cakes and pas tries because the mixing of flour and water develops gluten which makes an elastic dough that gets hard and tough when heated. When you add fat to the flour and mix It thorough ly, you separate the particles of flour with a film of fat and prevent the development of gluten when water Is added. The dough then Is not elas tic but "short" and tender, and your biscuit or pie crust will be flaky, and your cake will have a delicate texture. Turn Rancid ulcklr Fats take up odors and flavors and they turn rancid quickly If kept In a warm place or exposed to light. A fat that is rancid, 11 be one that is smoking hot, has begun to decom pose. Therefore, keep your fats cool and In a light-proof can or Jar. Meat drippings, especially, need a cool place, because they contain meat Juices and spoil if kept near the stove. You can use fats over and over for deep-fat frying If you take good care of them. That Is, strain the fat after each frying, cool it, cover it closely, and put It In the coolest place you have. Frying, rightly done, gives food a tempting flavor you can get no other way, while as for shortening, you could hardly do without It. So It ts Important to know your cooking fata and treat them well. Adrienne Opens Fine New Store In Klamath Falls The following is a partial account of the Evening Herald's Impressions of Adrlenne's new Klamath Falls store which was formally opened last week: "Snowstorms outside but soring and flowers, music and gayety at Adrlenne's open house Wednesday evening in the beautiful new store In the Oregon Bnnk building.

The craft turned crosswise in the rapids, ac cording to Mlchaelson, and, evidently greatly excited, Spranger threw the second oar toward the shore. His partner said Spranger could not swim and was afraid of water. His body was only visible once after he Jump ed, according to Mlchaelson, whose shouts to "stay by the boat" were unheeded. Spranger had refused to let Mlch aelson, who was his employer, at tempt to shift the barge, according to Coroner Frank Perl. "I'll draw it up." he had said after Mlchaelson started to step onto the craft. Spranger stepped onto the barge and drew It hand over hand the 15 feet of cable.

Moffatt took the mem bers of Medford Actve club on an interesting "trip" through the Pan ama canal In the urlnclpal talk of last night's regular dinner at Hotel Medford. Giving a resume of what one would see should he go through the canal. Dr. Moffatt started at the west en trance of the canal and described the parage through to the Atlantic ocean. Dr. Moffatt was in the U. S. medical corps at Panama for several years, hacvlng charge of x-ray work. Approaching the canol rone, a trav eler first tiasses Pearl Island, west of the mainland, and sights the buildings at Colon. Pr. Moffatt. snld. The administration building, U-shaped and made of concrete. Is partlu larly striking, visited In Its setting of beautiful gardens by thousands year ly. Dr. Moffatt said. After entering the canal, the first locks are reached four miles Inland, and 10 miles beyond are the second loeks. According to the speaker, the canal zone In this section Is kept In perfect sanitary condition by strict government regulations. Oatllard cut Is reached next, the boat having come to the continental divide Itself. It was in this section that Colonel Oatllard lost his life In the construction of the canal. Dr. Moffatt said, describing the slash through the towering hilts as one almost Impossible to dig. At Oatun lake, the ship passes an By BLOOD VERDICT BERLIN. March 37. ( AP ) The Lithuanian court verdict of death for four Nazis had stirred up a nation wide protest today surpassing even the anti-Czech demonstrations of last November which nearly caused diplo matic complications. Four huge mass meetings were scheduled In Berlin for 8 p. m. to pro test against "the blood verdict of the Lithuanian terroristic system." Afternoon newspapers devoted their front pages almost exclusively to the Lithuanian verdict and to protests. The Nazis pa.sed out the word thru factories and offices for all Germans to attend tonight's meetings. Demonstrations were also scheduled for Tilsit, Koenlgsberg. Insterburg, Hamburg. Leipzig, Nurnberg, and other cities. Green Hay is the name oj 1 farmer living near the town of EJglevllle, Tenn. island owned by United Fruit Co., from which bananas are shipped. The speaker said this Is one of the few areas not infected by banana blight. Aftfr passing Chagre's dam. where the government has a power plant, the ship reaches Port Abollo and finally Panama City, which he snid at one time had a population of 20.000. Dr. Moffatt said the Pan -Americans would like to have the canal con trolled by the League of Nations, as they see a menace of war from a Qerman and Japanese alliance. Norman Favors of Eugene and Frank Bash of this" city were guests at the meeting. PLAN THREE-POWER PARLEY ft- -Vfi4 i - JLtMl il &a Astonished by tht rebuffs they received from the Reich foreign minister on their protest to German rearmament, France and Italy were expected to loin England In a three-power protest to Germany's abrogation of the Versallle'a treaty.

(Associated Press Photos) SLANTS -ht Paa- y ! With all the dogged determination characteristic of his race, Max Schmel- Ing has picked himself off the floor and hammered his way back Into the heavyweight championship pic ture after heart-breaking defeats by Max Baer and Steve Hamas. The score with Hamas has been evened. Schmellng atoned for the decision he lost to the former Penn State athlete by battering him Into helpless condition In nine rounds before 25.000 cheering countrymen in Hamburg, Germany. Max Baer's case comes under the heading of unfinished business, and Schmellng hopes to take care of that before the summer passes. All along Ancil Hoffman. Baer's manager, has insistrr! that of the present crop of alld contenders, only Schmellng stood a ghost of a chance against the champion. They'll Meet Again. On the strength of Schmellng's last two engagements In which he knocked out Walter Neusel and Hamas there wit! be plenty of ring worms willing to bet the German will wipe the grin off Max Baer's face when they meet onln. They will meet again, all right. Schmellng has earned the right to another chance at the crown. Not one of the other contenders can present a case as convincing as that offered by the German Max. This time it Isn't lively Schmellng will permit Baer tD take pot shots at his chin as he did on that swel tering June evening when he forgot to duck one of Baer's round house rights. That one punch cost blm the lead on points which he held before his lapse. Don't They Come Back? Then, too, Schmellng will have the advantage of two hard winning battles under hla belt while the title holder has done nothing more than burlesque through a few exhi bition bouta to keep his hand In. When the two Maxes met the lirst time the situation was reversed. It was Baer who had been fighting regularly, while Schmellng had idled. If Baer climbs Into the ring In the same condition he was In when he wore himself out punching Cor ners full of holes, he will find the plodding, punching German a real menace after a few rounds. No former heavyweight champion ever had half the chance of regain ing hla crown Schmellng has. iLnAsVortm ARE SUPPLANTED BY APFOINIENTS (Continued from Page One) White is a democrat, a member of the stat grange.
