MEMORIES OF THANKSGIVING PRICELESS HEIRLOOMS
(Recipes Below)
Cooking the Thanksgiving
Dinner
Incrcdible as it may seem the cal-
endar is bringing Thanksgiving time
again and with it comes to every
humemaker thoughts for the Thanks-
giving menu—plans for its prepara-
tion and anticipation of the family's
return.
Today, however, I want to re-
verse this whole situation. I want
to suggest to you
that enjoyment of
your family on
Thanksgiving day
should be the key-
note of every one
of the plans that
you make for the
day. Now that
does not mean for
one minute that I
am suggesting
that the Thanksgiving dinner be
slighted. I couldn't do that, for who
of us for one minute would sacri-
fice those precious memories of
Thanksgiving dinners at grandmoth-
ers that are really priceless heir-
looms. No, I say—we won't sacrifice
the dinner—but we will plan it so
that you will bo as free ns possible
on Thanksgiving day so that you too
■can enjoy the family and let the
.family enjoy you. A miracle you
say? No—not really—just wise plan-
ning—plenty of work the day before
perhaps—but time—no worry—and
an easy dinner on Thanksgiving—
and that's worth while isn't it?
How to do it? Well here are my
suggestions. First, it is entirely pos-
sible to clean, prepare and even
stuff the turkey the day before
Thanksgiving rather than on
Thanksgiving morning. Then put it
on a rack in an open roasting pan
and store it in your refrigerator
over night. If you have a mechani-
cal refrigerator it will be running of
course. If you have an ice refrig-
erator, be sure to get an ample sup-
ply of ice so that your refrigerator
can really work for you over this
holiday.
Vegetables—salads—relishes, in-
cluding celery, radish roses, etc.,
even desserts, one
and all can be
gotten ready on
Wednesday and
as I say, then all
that remains for
Thanksgiving day
is just the cook-
ing, the table set-
ting and later the
serving of the viands.
Below I am including a number
of Thanksgiving recipes which are
all planned for just such Thanks-
giving ease. And—a happy Thanks-
giving to each one of you.
Roast Turkey.
Allow % to 1 pound of turkey per
person served. Dress, clean, stuff
and truss turkey. Brush well with
unsalted fat and place on rack in
large open roasting pan. (Store over
night in refrigerator if desired).
Roast in moderate oven (325 de-
grees) allowing approximately 20
minutes per pound roasting time
for a 12-pound turkey, 17 minutes
per pound for an 18-pound turkey
and 15 minutes per pound for a 22-
pound turkey.
Brush with melted butter just be-
fore serving.
Dressing for Turkey.
10 cups soft bread crumbs
1 cup butter (melted)
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoons poultry seasoning
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and
use for stuffing the turkey. Note:
This amount of dressing is sufficient
for a 10-pound turkey. If a larger
turkey is t obe stuffed the recipe
should be increased proportionately.
Giblet Gravy.
Pour off liquid in pan in which
turkey has been roasted. From liq-
uid skim off 6 tablespoons fat; re-
turn fat to roasting pan and brown
with 6 tablespoons flour. Add 3 cups
stock in which giblets, neck, and
tip of wings have been cooked; or
if preferred, 3 cups milk may be
substituted instead of the stock.
Cook, stirring constantly, until
thick; then season to taste with salt
and pej per. Add giblets (cut In
small pieces), heat well, and serve
hot.
Oranged Sweet Potatoes.
(Serves 6-8)
Parboil 6 medium sweet potatoes,
peel and slice lengthwise. (Prepare
to this point on Wednesday and store
overnight in refrigerator.) Arrange
slices in baking dish and sprinkle
with % cup brown sugar, dot with 2
tablespoons butter and add 1 table-
spoon grated orange rind. Pour over
this % cup orange juice and scatter
2 tablespoons brown sugar and a
little paprika over top. Bake cov-
ered for 30 minutes in moderately
hot oven (375 degrees). Uncover
and bake approximately 15 minutes
longer.
Creamed Onions With Cream Cheese.
(Serves 6)
2 poutvls small white onions
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
% teaspoon salt
1 block cream cheese
Boil onions until tender in salted
water. (This can be done on the
day before Thanksgiving and in this
way the onions will be all ready for
their final baking on Thursday.)
Melt butter, add flour and stir thor-
oughly. Add milk and salt and stir
until thick. Then add 1 block of
cream cheese broken in small
pieces. When blended, pour over
onions in a baking casserole. Sprin-
kle with buttered cracker crumbs
and bake in a moderate oven (350
degrees) until crackers are
browned. Serve at once.
Cabbage-Pineapple Gelatin Salad.
1 tablespoon unfiavored Gelatin
V4 cup pineapple juice (canned)
1 cup water (boiling)
IVi teaspoon salt
1% tablespoons vinegar
2 cups cabbage (shredded)
1 cup pineapple (diced)
Soak gelatin in the cold pineapple
juice. Add to hot water and stir
until dissolved. Add salt and vine-
gar. Chill. Add remaining ingredi-
ents and pour into mold. Chill un-
til set.
Pumpkin Pie.
(Makes 2 pies)
3 cups pumpkin
4 eggs
1V4 cups brown sugar
Vi teaspoon salt
% teaspoon grated nutmeg
% teaspoon ginger
ys teaspoon cloves
V» teaspoon allspice
% teaspoon cinnamon
<m cups milk (scalded)
To cold canned or cooked pump-
kin add the eggs (slightly beaten).
Blend salt and
spices with the
brown sugar. Mix
pumpkin mixture
with the brown
sugar mixture,
and to this add
the scalded milk.
Pour into pie plate lined with pastry
dough. Bake 10 minutes in a hot
oven (450 degrees), or until crust
is set. Then reduce heat to a mod-
erate oven (350 degrees), arid bake
until filling is firm—about 45 min-
utes. (These too can be baked on the
day preceeding Thanksgiving.)

Homemade Bread for Young
And for Old.
All the world loves homemade
oread and what is more home-
like than the old-fashioned hot
butterscotch rolls, homemade
bread, parker house rolls, etc.,
that mother used to make? It's
just those kind of recipes (simpli-
fied though), that you will find in
this column next week. Be sure
to look for them.

Grid Coaches
Attest Dislike
Of Slaughters
By ROBERT McSIlANE
VV/HEN Michigan's gridiron war-
* ' rlors raced over, through and
around the University of Chicago's
Maroons for an 85 to 0 victory on
Stags field this midseason, the one-
sided score brought very little joy
to the victor and none to the van-
quished. It wasn't a glorious defeat
for the Maroons—it was a rout. It
wasn't a great victory for the Wol-
verines—it was a stampede.
Few are the football coachrs who
want to see their rival's team hu-
miliated. A sense of deccncy and
sportsmanship forbids that. And, if
that isn't encu<rh, coaches realise
that football is an uncertain profes-
sion; that sonic time in the future
he might be on (he losing end of
one of those lop-sided scores.
Fritz Crisler, Michigan coach, re-
versed the usual gridiron order in
the Chicago game.
' He ordered his team
NOT to score touch-
downs. The score
was 54 to 0 at the
- half, and Crisler
wanted it to stay at
that.point. He con-
ferred with Clark
Shaughnessy during
the first half, and
the two coaches
agreed upon 12 min-
Fritz Crisler ute Quarters during
the second half.
Another story anent the game is
told by an official—that Crisler re-
quested officials to penalize Michi-
gan at every opportunity. Michi-
gan would welcome the loss of yard-
age. "If we look like we're going
to score, blow the whistle and penal-
ize us."
Despite Michigan's humanitarian
efforts, the score kept piling up. The
Maroons fumbled repeatedly in their
own territory, leaving Michigan with
little to do but make touchdowns.
Shaughnessy registered no com-
plaints.
Mercy's Gates
It wasn't so long ago that Francis
Schmidt earned his sobriquet, "Bar
the Gates of Mercy" Schmidt. It
all happened during his first year
of coaching at Ohio State. The Buck-
eyes went wild against a small col-
lege team, completely overwhelm-
ing their opponents by an avalanche
of touchdowns. Schmidt wasn't over-
ly happy about the victory.
Chicago's present situation is
somewhat ironical. Chicago players
of past years were
themselves occa-
sionally accused of
shutting and lock-
ing the gates of
mercy. Before si-
mon-pure amateur-
ism weakened its
teams Chicago rang
up some colossal
one-sided triumphs.
In 1918 Coach Alon-
zo Stagg watched
his maneaters de-
feat Great Lakes
123 to 0. The same school beat Mon-
mouth college by a score of 108 to 0
more than 25 years ago.
In 1916, Georgia Tech whipped
Cumberland 222 to 0. Nc one could
call the encounter a football game.
It wasn't even a good track meet.
But that victory aroused the engi-
neers, for two years later they were
responsible for the following statis-
tics on successive Saturdays:
Georgia Tech 118, Furman 0.
Georgia Tech 113, Eleventh Cav-
alry 0.
Georgia Tech 128, N. C. State 0.
The tables were turned the fol-
lowing Saturday when Georgia Tech
met the University of Pittsburgh
and lost 32 to 0. From then on it
was a policy of live and let live.
Yale, by 113 Points
One of the worst defeats a major
team ever suffered was in 1884 when
Yale beat Dartmouth 113 to 0. At
that time, however, Yale was much
the brighter star in the football firm-
ament.
Sometimes a coach is almost pow-
erless to stop a touchdown barrage.
When 11 husky young men step out
on a gridiron they're fired with ei:-
:hustasm. They're there for one
•virpose, and that's to play football,
rhcy pull no punches, and give the
'»me everything they can. They
;pect their opponents to follow a
imilar course.
When one of those young men
;cts the pigskin in his arms he
oesn't wait to be tackled. He wants
) gain ground. If a long forward
•iss is sailing in, ready to settle
i his arms, he can't ignore it, even
lough it means old Siwash may be
utnumbered by an additional six
olnts.
Second, third and fourth string
ibstitutions sometimes fail to help
lattcrs when the score is over-
heltningly one sided. Those boys
re too eager to prove they can
•ally play football. Often they're
lore vicious in their attack than
ie starting line-up.
So don't be too hasty in condemn
ig the winning coach in a top-
javy victory. He's probably try-
ig his best to stop an irresistible
orce.

King of Swing
Harry heilmann, the last
man to hit .400 in a season of
batting against American league
pitching, declares that one of these
seasons Joe Di Maggio of the New
York Yankees will reach that mark.
Furthermore, Heilmann believes
Di Maggio to be the greatest of all-
around ball players. A Detroit radio
announcer, Heilmann states that
Joe is the best outfielder he ever
saw, and that includes Tris Speaker.
He gives the young Italian credit
for having a better throwing arm
than any outfileder, past or present,
and including Bob Meusel.
And one of these seasons, he in-
sists, Joe's line drives and hard
smashes are going to get through
the infield or they're going down
the alleys between the outfielders.
Then he'll have his .400 mark.
Heilmann reached the .403 mark
in the 1923 season. During three
other seasons he hit .394, .393 and
.398.
BOWLING
Made Easy
<E3°C=&
By NED DAY
National Mutch Game Champion
(This is the first of a scries ol bowling
lessons by Ned Day ol Milwaukee. Wis.,
national match game champion and recog-
nized as an outstanding bowling authority.)
JJOWLING is the oldest of all com
petitive pastimes with the pos
sible exception of foot racing. There
is evidence that the cave man
played the game with rounded
stones and we know it was played
in ancient and medieval times.
Hip Van Winkle helped popularize
the sport in America. Now about
12,000,000 men, women and young-
sters make regular visits to their
favorite maplcways each season.
The object of the game, mechani-
cally, is to knock down 10 maple
pins, arranged in a triangle and
weighing about 34 pounds, with a
16-pound ball, 27 inches in circum
ference, at a distance of 60 feet
The right amount of speed, the prop
er angle, and good control of the
ball are important factors in knock
ing down all the pins.
Bowling is a game anyone can
piay with satisfaction the li:st time
on the alleys. It olTcrs mild but
enervating physical exercise, relax-
ation from business cares, and the
finest sort of good fellowship. Prac-
tice, of course, makes for bowling
skill.
The purpose of these bowling arti-
cles is to guide new bowlers along
the road to pin-spilling accomplish-
ment and help veteran pinmen un-
cover faults in their game.

Showmanship
Is Essential
To Success
'w
By GEORGE T. EAGER
THE selling end of any
business' consists of a
number of basic operations
that are repeated over and
over again. Customers are
attracted and held when such
routine operations are occa-
sionally done in a different
way by an added touch of
showmanship.
A fruit packer in Kentucky
sent his food broker in Buffalo
a crate of carrier pigeons. As
each order was secured by the
broker it was enclosed in a metal
band fastened to a pigeon's leg and
the bird released from the custom-
er's office. Just a different way
of placing a routine order but it
made both the fruit packer and the
food broker better known among
customers and
prospective cus-
tomers.
For years dogs
displayed in the
windows of pet
shops have at-
tracted more
passersby than
any other type of
window display.
But until recently
not a single man-
ufacturer of dog food has made use
of this natural interest in live dogs
to sell his product. A recently con-
structed billboard in Chicago com-
bines an air conditioned kennel con-
tpining live dogs with an advertise-
ment of a canned dog food. The
crowds that are continually in front
of it leave no doubt as to the com-
mercial value of this combination of
advertising and showmanship.
The acknowledgment of orders
received by a manufacturing organ-
ization might seem to be a routine
matter with little possibility of be-
ing made more interesting. Instead
of the usual cold, formal method of
acknowledging orders, one company
attaches a sheet notifying the cus-
tomer that the order is of direct
benefit to 800 people on the com-
pany's payroll and that the raw ma-
terials used in making the goods
are bought from 412 different firms
employing 50,000 people.

IF YOU want a bright new every
* day dress that's tailored and
practical, yet sufficiently youthful
and gay so that you'll never tire
of it even after constant wear,

fitted at the waistline, and
trimmed with contrast. If this is
your first attempt at home dress-
making, it's a simple pattern that
goes very quickly and easily. It's
especially pretty in plaid wool,

fect that mature figures look best

style for card parties and lunch-
eons because all the detailing is
on the bodice. The neckline is
particularly flattering. This dress
makes up smartly in velvet, faill*
or thin wool.

A SALESMAN should know
every detail about the
product he is selling so as to
be prepared to answer all
questions. But if this knowl-
edge leads him to think that
merely explaining a product
will sell it he should be
prepared for serious disap-
pointments. Successful sales-
men never forget that hu-
man beings are reservoirs of
emotions and desires which when
touched by skillful appeals bring
more immediate response than end
less explanations.
Years ago Carnegie wanted to sell
his steel mills. The most likely buy-
er was J. Pierpont Morgan. Did
Carnegie call on Morgan with blue
prints of his steel mills and count-
less figures about
operating costs
and profits? He
did not because
he was too good
a salesman. Ke
knew that details
were useless un-
til he had first
aroused an over-
powering desire
to buy on the
part of Morgan.
So he arranged to have Charles M.
Schwab speak at a dinner in Mor-
gan's presence and paint a picture
of the great steel corporation of
the future. When Morgan's con-
structive imagination saw the vision
he was then ready to buy.
Thousands of successtul salesmen
are carrying out the same princi-
ple in countless small transactions
that total each year more than Mor-
gan paid for Carnegie's steel mills.
The washing machine salesman
talks to a woman about keeping
young by saving energy before he
explains the details about the mo-
tor; the oil burner salesman pic-
tures the tun the family will have
in the new game room.

Industry, Agriculture
Harmful to Wildlife
That nature never planned to sup-
ply game for 6,000,000 licensed hunt-
ers and approximately 7,000,000 li-
censed fishermen, nor to provide
against the great inroads that
modern industrial and agricultural
developments have made upon wild-
life, is the opinion of Professor
Ralph T King, head of the Roose-
velt Wildlife Experiment station at
the New York State College of For-
estry. Professor King asserts that
according to figures of the United
States bureau of biological survey
there are more than 13Vfe million
persons hunting and fishing annual-
ly and that the numbers are rapidly
increasing, says the Hartford Cour-
ant.

The captain of one New York-
er's private yacht draws a larger
salary than the master of the
Queen Mary, the colored manager
of a Harlem dance hall is paid
more than the governor of Penn-
sylvania, and a Midvvesterner re-
ceived more money as the presi-
dent of a local musicians' union
in 1933 than Mr. Roosevelt re-
ceived as President of the United
States.
For a number of years, at least
three-quarters of all "antiques"
imported into this country have
been fakes.
Because it handles only large
accounts, the First National bank
of New York city has fewer de-
positors than stockholders.
The three volleys fired into the
