This allows for any waste there may
be separating the white from the
yolk.
With vegetables and fruit, from four
TO six potatoes weigh a pound; six
to eight onions equal a pound.
Besides these there are special
measures which are apt to vary some
what in different parts of the country.
Vegetables and fruit in country dis
tricts are often sold by the peck, yet
this varies with different kinds. A
peck of potatoes average twenty
pounds, white turnips. onions, apples
and gooseberries run about sixteen
pounds to the peck; peas plums, dam
sons and practically all other fruit
are reekoned at eighteen pounds to
the peck, and green peas and beans
average from eight to nine pounds
to the peck.
A pinch of pepper means about half
an average saltspoonful. and a pinch
.of salt means Is much as can be
taken up in all four fingers and
thumb. or roughly speaking, a tea

Life Is
Uncertain
EVERY HUSBAND OWES 1T TO HIS
FAMILY TO MAKE A WILL

if her husband had made will: but
If the will had named an executor
the legal formalities would have been
attended to promptly. There would
have been no embarrassment. As it
was, the ignorant widow knew not
what steps to take. She was simply
dazed, as many another woman has
been; for to the unframed feminine
mind, legal proceedings of any kind
usually hold terrors.
All the while the tradesmen were
pressing this poor woman; and though
they could not sue her for at least
year, they harassed her sorely. She
did not know that the law thus pro-
| tected her,
For weeks she lived a life OF
| financial distress, even falling into the
clutches of a loan shark--all because
her husband, who thought everything
would be all right after his death,
had not made sure that everything
would be as he wanted it, He had
not, like Ahithophel of old, put his
house in order.
Now, in order to put your house in
order, to make sure that things with
go as you desire after death, there
are numerous things that must be
done. And, inasmuch as the present
is the only time of which you are
certain, the time to do these things
is now. If you have not already done
them, do them now, while you have
| mental strength and power and the
time to plan wisely and to make sure
! that your plans will be carried out
after your death. Delay is dangerous.
At the last moment you may forget
or you may do it ineffectually-or you
may not do it at all SO do it now.
| Make will.

Second Cruise of Belmont
No. 2
BY HOWARD FALK.

Start off" called Captain Lee. The
gallant ship Belmont headed for Bue-
nos Aires, Argentina, after a naval
deserter. accompanied by the sub
marine. under Captain Carweil's
command, started and made good
time, arriving at Buenos Aires ten
days later. AS fate would have it, the
wireless had broken down, so they
could not signal the Latinea, the ship
carrying the deserter.
At Buenos Aires they got warrants
to search suspicious places and di-
yided into squads of ten marines each.
One squad, commanded by Carwell, to
search saloons; another by Captain
Lee, to watch outgoing steamers, so
as to not let the naval deserter,
Lanuck, escape. that way again. Mr..
Belmont commanded a third squad
which was to watch railroad stations.
Coming into all the low resorts In
the city, they were dismayed, be-
cause of failure to even sight their
man. One of the sailors suggested
that they look over the hotel registers
Coming to a hotel near the centre of
the city, they searched the hotel with
failure. Seven were searched and still
no man; they were beginning to
despair, Wnen mouse was seen near
the outskirts of the city and looked

had searched all the rooms with fail

crash was heard and an Argentiniar
fell from the second-story of this
house, sustaining a broken arm.
"Carambal" he muttered. "Tht

Davie with a superior air, they

Girls don't know how to sharpen
pencils anyway cause they're 'fraid
of getting their fingers dirty. They
just slash in the air and use up half
the pencil every time they sharpen.

the world, and I'm going to help
Henry to make an ever-so-big kite
tomorrow, just as soon as we get

Quite out of breath, Davie leaned
against the apple tree.

dignantly, II just hold the lead

No. sir said Dorothy decidedly,

better, cause there's no danger of

told me that"
You couldn't put your eye out

You could if it slipped" Dorothy
insisted.
In another moment they would
have been quarreling, but mother
Dear came out on the porch to
shake the brown plaid blanket that
the dear Dear family took to the
beach on damp days, and the sight
of her reminded Dorothy that she

COOK BOOK WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
APT 10 PUZZLE THE YOUNG HOUSEWIFE

Young cooks and housewives often
experience difficulty in interpreting
the quantities of ingredients to be
used in recipes, as these are often
given In terms which to them are
somewhat indefinite, says the Mem
phis News scinitar. For instance,
when such expressions as pinch
of salt" "a pat of butter, "a cupful
or a spoonful of such and such a
thing are mentioned they are some
what vague as 10 the amount of the
various materials to be used, as there
are. several sizes of cups and spoons.
The problem of quantities becomes
simpler, however, If it be remem-
bered that spoonful of anything,
without further qualifications, means
a. tablespoonful, and in the same way
cupful means a kitchen cup, or half
a pint. A pat of butter" means an
ounce: a piece of butter the size of
nut" is half an ounce; the size OF
walnut" one ounce; or the size
OF an egg" two ounces. Again, one
slightly rounded tablespoonful of but
ter is equivalent to an ounce, a
Eeaped tablespoonful two ounces, and
a cup of solid butter is u half-pound
In weight. Four even cupfuls of flour
weigh one pound, or If the cup be
heaped up with -four, six ounces go
TO the cup. Two slightly rounded
tablespoonfuls of flour equal one
ounce. Arrowroot and corn flour
weigh somewhat heavier
or breadcrumbs. If dried, two level
cupfuls equal half a pound, and two
level tablespoonfuls equal one ounce;
il fresh two lightly piled cupfuls
come to half a pound, and two level
Tablespoonful go to the ounce. OF
sugar, five to six Jumps of loaf sugar
20 to the ounce, and a loosely packed
cup contains about half a pound. One

From Lake Hopatcong to
Philadelphia

My dear Miss Doom
Could you tell me if there is any
other way of getting from Lake Ho-
patcong to Philadelphia than by go
ing through Newark?
Someone told me to go to Bound
Brook and take the Central from
there to Philadelphia. This is said
to be the shorter Can you tell me
If 1t is true?
Thanking you very much. re-
main, FREDA NJ.
II you're at Landing it would be
better for you to go to Philadelphia
via Newark, coming to this city on
the Lackawanna railroad; If at
Nolan's Point. perhaps it would be
better to go via the Central railroad
from Hopatcong. The time you
would spend going from Landing to
the Point TO take this train would
be time lost However. il you care
to go via the Central, you may
leave Nolan's Point at 6:1b a. m,
arriving in Bound Brook 1925. You
may get the S:55 a. m. train out of
that point and arrive in Philadelphia
at 1920.

demanded. The tramp skunk back a
little, but when, she resumed her walk
again took up his position directly
behind her.
See here" she exclaimed angrily,
''if you don't go away shall call a

wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high DER wales and
hills,
When all at once saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
F'luttering and dancing IN the
breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay
Ten thousand saw | at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly
dance.
The waves beside them danced. but
outdid the sparkling waves in
glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company;
gazed-and gazed-but little
thought
What wealth the show to me had
brought:
For oft. when on my couch lie
In vacant or in pensive mood.
! They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure
fills
And dances with the daffodils.

Making Pantry Shelves Pretty

If you like dainty pantry shelves
instead of using the scalloped paper
edging sold for that purpose, which
is so easily torn and needs replacing
every three or four weeks, buy India
linen, cut it in bias strips, and make
long, scant ruffles.
The hens can be edged with cheap
lace at 1 or cents yard and each
ruffie sewed TO a white tape as long
as the shelves. A few brass-headed
tacks fasten the ruffies to the edge of
the shelf. This is easily removed for
laundering and lasts two years.

Soiled Linoleum

Dear Margery Doom;
Kindly publish in the Evening
Star how to get dark stains out of
inlaid linoleum, which came from
having a washboiler standing on 1t
when the floor was wet, also how
to remove stains which came from
the table rollers. Hoping to see my
answers in your valuable column.
ROSE
Try rubbing the spots with water
to which has been added a little
kerosene. Rub well with a solf
piece of flannel. The kerosene will
soften the dirt and harden the
linoleum.
Linoleum will wear longer and
look better If it Is given a coat Of
varnish three times year. Let the
varnish get perfectly dry before
walking on 1t,
