WHEN VEGETABLES
ARE AT THEIR BEST

In order that home grown vegetables
may come TO the table at their very
best they must be picked at just the
right moment There is more TO this
than most people suppose. Snap beans,
for example. should be gathered before
they have reached full size and matur-
ity while English scarlet runner beans
should be served only when mature, for
the skin of the young beans is tough.
String beans are ready when they may
be bent almost double and will then
break clean Lima beans. too, are
best when young. Most vegetables are
best picked when the morning dew is
on them, but it is different with beans;
handling the vines when wet is very
likely to induce rust.
Sugary vegetables like corn and peas
and melons. should be eaten within
few hours of the time they are gath
cred. 1t is surprising to find people
perfectly willing to buy peas which
have been lying around for hours In the
hot sun. Perhaps the parcel post Will
make it possible eventually for the city
dweller to get country produce from
the farmer direct in few hours. The
time 10 pick peas is just as soon as the
pods filled: and II the COOK VIII put
a little sugar in the water when cook

of water-they will retain more of their

There is an old saying. Have your

The corn is ready for picking when the
kernels have just filled and the silk is
beginning to brown

A DAILY HINT TO
WORKING GIRLS
Somebody Else's Fault.

Don't be the sort OF girl who Is always
blaming somebody else for whatever goes
wrong. There Is lot OF shirking In
the world, but the Sinking OF ones
share Of the blame for mistakes or
mishaps Is the worst there Is.
Some Of US are mighty clever In get
ting clear OF blame. and have a now Of
eloquence that Is little short OF marvellous
when 1t comes to proving that It's some
one else's fault.
Now, none OF US Is perfect. 1t is a
sure thing that We all have faults, and
to be forever putting ourselves In right
and the other fellow In wrong II a eer-
tain method for getting ourselves just
naturally disliked,
There Is something fine about admit
ting instantly where you have been at
fault that arouses admiration, The girl
who cheerfully takes her share Of tho
blame is going to be popular. with a
kind of popularity that won't wea:
thin with time.
This doesn't mean that we ahouid
martyrize ourselves and grab all tho
blame in sight Going round with tho
martyr pose Is self-right eeus. tire
some business most martyrs simply
love to be misunderstood and abused,
until one fairly hates to lind fault with
them even when they deserve 1t. But
to be always blaming others for what
ever happens that shouldn't happen ID
a mean, cowardly sort OF thing to do.
And the world has no use for a cow
ard, male or female.
Don't fuss when blame comes yeur
way. and don't act hurt and iasuited

The days of the hideously ugly, sag

since past. Gone are the heavy. full
gathered skirts, and the meal-bag waists
with their cheap braid trimmings and
bone buttons, considered in their day
plenty good enough for the purpose. To-
day it is quite essential to give much
attention to the selecting of a bathing
dress as to any other dress. and the &C
cessores must be equally well chosen.
Satin, brilliantine and taffeta are the
choice materials for bathing suits. while

A special meeting of the board of man.
ayers OF the South Atlantic Amateur

All local athletes and numerous officers OF
clubs are interested in the business which
will take place before the board.

sprint and distance artists are under the
ban of the governing body and desire
reinstatement, there will be a strenuous
evening for the South Atlantic body The
preferring of charges and the trial or
each athlete and the rendering of the
verdicts of suspension or reinstatement
will take place.
The athletes who are now in good
standing with the a. A. L. are anXiously
awaiting the outcome, as they all desire
to see some reinstatements. made. the
present local competition is far below
the average of former years. and the
Amateur Athletic Federation of the DIS

If the governing body makes plea

Funds from Buckeye State
Brethren.

The Grand Lodge of Masons of the Dis

flood sufferers. Grand Master Charles E.

from offers to aid other States. and the
greatest need appeared in Ohio, all the
money was sent to that State.
One-half Of the money contributed is
the donation of the Grand Lodge and the
other half is advanced on account of
contributions that will no doubt be re-
ceiyed from Masonic bodies Grand
Master Baldwin asks that all who desire
to contribute should forward their money
