Can you tell me how to mend leak in my clothes boiler? It is in a seam and not large, but as we live a long way from any man who could solder it l should like to see what can be done at home first
 MRS. A. L. M country housewife gave me this formula years ago, which she had tried with success: Mix lithage and glycer- inc in equal quantities to the consis- tency of putty and work into the crack. Do not touch it for two days or may be three in warm weather. It should then be as hard as cement It will resist the action of heat and wa ter. Try 1t and report result to the Corner.

Origin of Measuring Terms

Gan you tell me how a measure of distance came to be called a furlough and why the apothecary's drachm got that name. Isn't it sometimes spelled dram? JUNIOR MEMBER"
 Furlough was originally written 'furrowinglong," the length of the trench made by the plough before 1t was turned and the furrow was usual ly the length of the field. After awhile the furlong was fixed by custom to be 40 rods. An old record tells us that the apothecarys dram originally sig nif1ed "only so much raw spirits as can be held in the mouth." Funny enough to our way of thinking! I give 1t for what it is worth.

T ME was when didn't know any
 more about the ''movies' than I do
 \ about an archaeopteryx, or stereog- natus-which imagine is a missing link, like a bird with teeth, or a lizard with wings. No; I've just looked in the dic- tionary and found that it's mesmozoic mammal.
 I have been so busy with the .1egit''- the real flesh and blood people who pop ulate that stage-that I hadn't any time somehow for the inanimate things-the photoplay of folk and events.
 Suddenly realized that was adher- ing to a lifelong rule of being entirely out of date-and like the proverbial cows tail, always behind" and so when I found people like MT. Alan Dale, Mr. Bernard Shaw, MT. Richard Harding Da- wis., my friends Mae Tinee, Ada Patter- son, and most of the other big (and little) newspaper folk writing about the ''mo- vies" and writing intelligently. too, me- thinks:
 Why not?" And promptly got busy.
 The first thing I discovered was how little I really did know; my lack of in- formation would easily fill 12 perfectly good Encyclopedias Britannica, on the subject of how films are manufactured, how people are engaged for the various productions how much money is ex- pended annually in the purchase of sheet ing upon which photographs are thrown or whether the admission tickets sold every day if laid down end to end would reach from New York to Hongkong.
 In fact, I have avoided discussions of these subjects with my friends like I'd avoid the father of brand new baby or the man who knows what will cure your rheumatism, and l feel sure Al Jolson would say in his funny way if he exam ined my head: Not only nobody home. but nobody ever resided there."
 l had always imagined a moving pie ture show just standing there all by it. self with pretty blonde girl in the gilded cage out in front, the jingly piano play ing all by itself with nobody pounding on it's ivory keys, and-well-I never dreamed of thinking that anybody human had anything to do with such things.
 One day I chanced to read this little observation from a noted professor in Co., lumbia university:
 ''The most beautiful picture ever put on canvas, the finest statue eyer carved is pared with the fiickering shadow of a tat tered film in a backwoods nickeledeon"

How to Make a Rose Jar

"Will you please tell me how to make a rose jar-what to put with the petals after they are dry, so as to pre- serve them? EDITH A."
 The recipe for which you ask has been printed so often in the Corner that we decline to repeat 1t except at the height of the rose season. Gather the petals of full blown roses when the dew is off, and pack in a jar in layers an inch thick, sprinkling each layer with two tablespoons of fine salt Do this daily until the jar Is full, or you have no more roses. A week later turn out the contents of the jar upon a broad dish, and mix and toss until the salted mass is loosened. Then sea- son with the ingredients herewith named, put into a clean jar and set away (covered) in a cool place to ripen It will keep fragrant for 20 years, if the cover be left on all time. Formu1a Violet powder, half an ounce; the same of rose powder; orris root pow der, an ounce; heliotrope powder half l ounce; half teaspoon each of powdered mace and cloves; quarter teaspoon of cinnamon. four drops of oil of roses, 10 drops of chris, 20 drops of oil of melisne, 20 drops of oil of eucalyptus. 10 drops of oil bergamot two drachms Of alcohol
