"I have not been here long enough," said Mr.

Hill, "to have formed any opinion concerning your proposed federation. You know, however, regardless cf anything I might say, that your city Is only doing now what more than 300 other progressive cities have done in the field of social work before you.

"Community Chest campaigns are going over the top practicaly everywhere this year, in spite of admittedly unfavorable business conditions.

Recitation, Clementine BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer VERY often cheap cuts of meat require so much fuel to cook them that no saving is effected: the money saved on the meat must be spent for gas. Chopped meat cleverly handled may be cooked quite as quickly as the more expensive steaks and chops. Beef. veal, lamb and pork can be chopped and used in many appetizing ways.

Chopped veal is made into small flat cakes, each cake bound by a strip of bacon to make veal patties. These, can be braised over the fire or baked in a hot oven. Either method takes from 30 to 45 minutes to cook the meat. Lamb or beef can be made into these same patties and cooked the same way. or broiled.

Broiling requires even less time than the other methods. Chopped meat ran he combined with cracker or bread crumbs to make excellent meat loaves. Careful seasoning makes these loaves savory, and, the crumbs art as a meat extender. Forty five minutes to an hour will be needed to bake a loaf.

McHugh, all of this city. iooooooooooooooooooooooo IAN I Learn to WILLIAM R. NELSON toooooooooooooooooooooooo Use of the Stabilizer IN THE empanage or tall assembly of an airplane is a small horizontal control wing which appears stationary. It Is just ahead of the elevator, that bigger wing which, hinged at its front, moves up and down. The horizontal part Is the stabilizer, and it is not stationary.

In the pilot's cockpit is a small control wheel or lever, as the case may be, which will move the stabilizer. I was taught Its use, which Is Important and quite simple to learn. "In level flight let go of the stick and watch the nose of the my Instructor began. "If the nose remains headed for the horizon, the. stabilizer is set the way it should, be.

If the nose climbs, turn this wheel at your left side forward until the climbing stops. If the nose has a tendency to go down, pull backward on the top of the wheel until it comes up to horizon' and stays there." In the air my Instructor put the plane in a level position and cautioned me to look along the "sights" I used to spot horizon. Then he let go of the stick and the nose began to climb. A forward movement of the small wheel brought it down. "Now I'll change the stabilizer and you adjust it." he said through the speaking tube.

As he did so, the nose began to drop. I pulled back on the top of the wheel and It came up slowly. A forward movement on the wheel and the nose went down again. Back and forth, not over four Inches either way, I moved the wheel, finally finding that position at which the nose of the ship held to a level position. "Yon will find that you will have to adjust the stabilizer when you fly solo," he explained.

"When I get out the weight changes and that throws the plane out ot balance. If yon were on a long cross country flight you would have to adjust the stabilizer to compensate for the difference in weight caused by the consumption of fuel." After four turns about the field he suggested another solo flight Something within me told me not to try It and I begged off. "If. you feel that way," he answered, 1 don't want yon to go alone." i That loss of nerve was another new experience. What caused It HI never know.
