HOW TO USE FATS
IN COOKING TOLD
BY 0. S. 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.

1 the barge to swing Into the current,
one oar having been lost. 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.
Boat Carried Machinery
The barge, which was near the old
Von der Hellen rock quarry, carried
air pumps and suction tubes where
with gravel was scooped from the river
bed. The tubes were let down from
the barge and the miners did not use
diving equipment as In several neigh
boring operations on the river.
Coroner Perl said Spranger is sur
vived by six children and a sister,
who Is living In Q rants Pass. He
had been living with Mlchaelson in
a cabin on the river for the last two
months.

After entering the canal, the first

and 10 miles beyond are the second

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

that Colonel Oatllard lost his life In

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.

Dr. Moffatt said the Pan -Americans
would like to have the canal con

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.
