Dictionary For Cooks
You may know when meat it
fried but the odds are stacked that
you don't know when it's "panbroil.
ed," "sauted," or "braised." Yet ev-
, ery good cook should know these
distinctions and add terms to her
vocabulary.
Nora Ellen Elliott, specialist in
food preservation for the A. and M.
College Extension Service, has ex-
plained that "panbroiling" is cook-
ing without added fat, without wa-
ter, and without a cover on the
skillet. This is the method used for
tender chops and steaks which
have fat of their own and are
quickly cooked.
"Frying,1 she says, means ac-
tually to cook in fat. Sometimes
the fat is deep enough to cover the
food entirely, as in frying chicken
or croquettes. In addition, one can
also fry with shallow fat in a skil-
let such dishes as hash or meat pat
ties. Some meats, sausages and ba-
con for instance, fry in their own
f*f.
"Sauteing," mainly because it
is a French word, Is another puzzl-
er. It's a cross between panbroil-
ing and frying. It means to brown
the foo din a little fat and turn it
often to keep it from sticking.
"To braise" means to brown in
t little hot fat, and cook with a
smsll amount of water added.
Swiss steak and pot roast are good
examples of this method of prep-
aration. These meat cuts are not so
tender to start with, but if proper-
ly braised can be cut with a fork.

Ted Lyons, Diz
Dean to Attend
Baylor-Ag Tilt
WACO, Texas, Oct. 24. (SpD —
Baseball slips into the football
picture at Baylor this week-end
when Teddy Lyons, the greatest
diamond performer the Bears ever
had, returns to the campus Satur-
day for the annual homecoming'ac-
tivities.
"Dizzy" and Paul Dean, two of
the most colorful players baseball
has produced will also b€ on hand
when the Bears try to hand the
mighty Texas A. & M. Aggies their
first setback in 16 straight games.
Ticket reservations for the Dean
boys were received at the athletic
department yesterday while Lyons
haa had his tickets pulled ever
since the start of the season. There
will be more than just football talk
when this trio of baseball stars
get together at the game.
Lyons went direct from the Bay-
lor campus to the Chicago White
Sox and has been with them ever
since. He had oip of his best sea-
sons last summer that did away
with all reports that the former
Baylor star was through. He is
relying on more than just the
strength of his arm now, but lie
still has plenty of the stuff left
that gave him a try at the big time
play.

Colorado Governor ,
Almost Makes Plea
for Nebraska Votes
HOLYOKK, Colo., Oct. 23. <U,
—Gov, Ralph Csrr, campaigning
fot a second term, got out of his
territory and almost made a plea
for Nebraska votes, it was reveal-
ed here today.
Gov. Carr was scheduled to
speak in Holyoke Oct. 9, and the
driver of his sound truck pulled
up in a town he thought was Holy-
oke and stopped in the middle of
town.
He started playing stirring mar-
tial tune* on the public address
system and before long a large
crowd gathered near the truck.
Governor Carr stepped on the
platform and started to speak
when a man in the crowd called
out:
"Aren't you out of your terri-
tory, Governor? This isn't Colo,
rado. It's Benkelman, Nebraska."
The governor, none the worse for
his driver's mistake except for a
very red face, stepped back in the
truck and drova to Holyoke to de-
liver his scheduled speech.

Texas Democrats
Turn on Steam
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 28. (Spl.)
— With the general election less
than two weeks awsy, Roosevelt
forces in Texas under the direction
of National Committeeman Myron
G. Blalock "turned on the heat"
Wednesday to push their campaign
to the goal of a million Roosevelt
votes and campaign funds to coun-
teract the Republican drive for
Willkie in border states. ,
This week Blalock and other
leading Democrats Including
Speaker Sam Rayburn, challenged
Texas Democrats to march a mil-
lion strong to the ballot box on
Nov. 5. Thousands of Texas Young
Democrats rallied around the pres-
ident's speech to young America
Wednesday, and throughout the
far-flung democratic organization,
intensisfied effort to get out the
vote and to raise campaign money
was in evidence.
"Texas will give Roosevelt the
record vote of its political history
and will maintain its atatus as the
banner state of the Democratic
party,'* Blalock, directing the state
campaign from Austin headquar-
ters, declared. "Campaign funds
are not needed for Texas as the
entire organization is on a volun-
teer basis. But funds are desper-
ately needed by >he national com-
mittee to counteract the stagger-
ing amount of money being ex-
pended by the republican state and
national organisations. Every con-
ceivable political trick is being
used from a 'smear' campaign to
fabulously expensive radio and ad-
vertising programs to beat down
the Roosevelt victory tide," tha
democratic leader charged.

Draftees Voted
Moratorium on
Debt Payments
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (U.R)—
President Roosevelt today signed
legislation which in effect will give
army trainees under the selec-
tive service act a moratorium on
the payment of debts and other
obligations.
The measure specifically provid-
es that the court may suspend the
operation of contracts, leases and
other civil obligations of draftees
who are unable to continue pay-
ments out of their $80 a month
service pay.
Installment purchase goods may
not be repossessed during the per-
iod of military service unless the
draftee agrees to such action.
Life insurance policies up to $5.-
000 will be kept in force by the
veterans administration during the
draftee's term of service. In re-
turn the United States would hold
Hens against the policies until
the draftee repays the veterans ad-
ministration-
In all cases the drafteas would
be required to pay up accumulated
debt* after the termination of ser-
vice.
