Potato Bread-Straight
Dough Method
TO MAKE FOUR oNE-PoUND
LOAVES
3 pounds boiled and peeled pc

3 pounds boiled and peeled po-
tatoes.
~ pounds bread flour.
1 y level tablespoons salt.
level tablespoons sugar
cakes compressed yeast.
tablespoons water.
Wash thoroughly and boil in their
skins about 12 potatoes of medium
size. Cook them until they are very
tender. Drain. peel. and mash them
while hot, being careful to leave no
humps. Allow the mashed potato to
cool to Sc degrees +. or until luke
warm. To pounds (5 solidly pack
ed y pint cupfuls) of the mashed
potato, add the yeast. which has
been rubbed smooth in a cup with
tablespoonfuls of lukewarm water.
To get all the yeast, rinse the cup
with the remaining tablespoonful of
water and add this also to the po-
tato. Next add the salt, the sugar,
and about 4 ounces of the flour q
scant half-pint of sifted -FOUR. Mix
thoroughly with the hand. but do not
add any more water at this stage.
Cover the mixing bowl to avoid
the formation of a crust on top and
place out of the way of drafts to
rise, where the temperature can not
fall below so degrees f. or be much
higher than so degrees F. Where
the housewife has no thermometer
she should see that the dough in
all the risings is kept moderately
warm, but not up to blood heat. Any
water used in mixing the dough
should be moderately warm, but by
no means hot. This sponge, If kept
at the proper temperature, should,
after two hours, become quite
light.
To this well-risen sponge, which
now will be found to be quite soft,
add the remainder OF the flour,
kneading thoroughly until smooth
and elastic dough has been formed.
The dough must be very stiff, since
the boiled potato contains a large
amount OF water which causes the
dough to soften as it rises. Do not
add water to the dough unless 1t is
absolutely necessary to work in the
flour. Set the dough back to rise
again-temperature at about Sc de-
grees F.-until 1t has trebled in vol
ume, which will require another
hour or two. Then divide the dough
into four approximately equal parts.
reserving n tiny lump weighing or
3 ounces for an indicator" Shape
the sample into a ball and press it
into the bottom of a small tumbler
with straight sides. The glass should
be slightly warmed. Note the vol
ume of the ball of dough in the
tumbler and mark the glass at twice
this volume.
Mold the four portions into loaves
and place in creased pans which
have been slightly warmed. Place
the glass containing the indicator"
beside the pans and let all rise, un-
der proper temperature. until the
indicator" shows that IL has doub-
led in volume. Then place the
loaves in the oven and bake In
good, steady heat (400 degrees to
425 degrees F.) for As minutes.
To test oven. Where no oven
thermometer is at hand. a conven-
lent test will be to put a teaspoon
full of flour in an earthen dish in the
oven. If this flour becomes light
brown evenly throughout in 5 min
utes' time. the oven is right for
bread baking. II the flour scorches
in that time, thesoven Is too hot.

adventure of all the ages-the con-
quest of the air. He was realizing
as fact, that desire which has
haunted the imagination of men
from primitive times-to fly.
And the mother. Those chilled
steel eyes of hers-the boy had in
herited them-showed that she was
not of that race of mothers describ-
ed by George Ade in one of his eX-
quisitely humorous Fables In
Slang" in the August Cosmopoli-
tan
The mater had not raised Err
skine to be soldier; she had raised
him to be a lounge lizard"
But when chilled-steel eyes soften,
that is a revelation. One felt sure
that she had never had any romance
in her life. 1t was impossible to
imagine her murmuring: Time was
when life gave us kisses, moonlight
and roses and June"
1t was probable that she had mar
ried her husband because he asked
her and it was the sensible thing to
do. He was a steady, reliable man
and was laying by money. And he
had asked her because she was a
good housekeeper, a girl of sterling

BY JANE MCLEAN

"Oh. for Heavens sake" said the
older woman. Grossly, don't have
her in here; it makes my head ache
just to hear hergo on. Besides, no
one has a right to be so happy"
You don't really mean that" re-
turned the other occupant OF the
room.
Yes, I do. Marian. She seems
happy about everything, and just
because she is, things are constantly
going her way. It's disgusting"
But be fair, Ray. You know she
does her work. You know the
frieze she did was excellent. You
don't think that just because the
child is happy the heads of the COM
Germ would pay her money, do you?"
"Oh, l don't know" returned the
other. Don't chatter Marian. If
you want TO rave about the girl, go
somewhere else to do it."
If Marian Foster had been more
sensitive and had not known Ray
Long so well, such a remark would
either have hurt or angered her.
AS it was, she had roomed with the
older woman for two years and
liked her, in spite of her tempera-
ment, which made itself obvious III
various unpleasant ways. But when
she was herself there could not be
a more attractive person to know.
She was generous TO a fault, always
glad to hear other peoples troubles,
but for some unaccountable reason
had taken a violent dislike to Flo
Carter, a girl who had come from
the West and was rooming in the
old studio building in lower New
York.
Flo Carter was very young, but
she had decided talent She lacked
the variable thing called tempera-
ment herself, and therefore failed to
recognize it in others. Marian loved
the perennial good nature of the
girl, but Ray, who was older, called
her bright talk silly chatter and
hated to have her enter the room.
Ray Long worked insatiably and
generally undermined her good
health by close application to such
an extent that when she was finally
forced to stop for rest, her nerves
were badly unstrung. One of these
reactions set in a week after the
preceding conversation, and Ray
had been left to herself for two
long days, while Marian sojourned
in the country on a long promised
visit. She had offered to forego the
pleasure, but Ray had insisted that
she 60. The quiet which had
seemed so desirable a thing had be-
come, after two days of it, more
nerve racking than any amount OF
noise. Ray, lying on the couch with
nothing to do, wished wildly that
someone would drop in on her. The
old building was strangely still,
however, and hour after hour passed

without a hello" from anyone.
Just as Ray was about to drag her
self up to fix a bite to eat on the
tiny stove, the door was softly push
ed open and friendly voice said,
May 1 come in?"
For a moment Ray was tempted
to say something disagreeable as
she invariably did when Flo Carter
appeared. But the idea of talking
to anyone at all checked the i'm
pulse and instead she turned wear
lily on her pillow and said, Come
in"
Flo Carter pushed the door open
wide enough to admit herself and
covered tray that she carried. She
looked very sweet in her rumpled
pink linen smock, and her cheeks
were very pink. Ray looked at her
enviously. Inwardly she thought
Il suppose that girl has been work
ing all afternoon, and it agrees with
her. Why does my work have to
bring me a racking headache and
jiggly things before my eyes?" Out
wardly she said in her usual frigid
manner, What have you there
Il fixed you bite to eat. Marian
said that you were feeling so miser-
able, and that 1 wasn't to run M
and bother you, but 1 fixed some
broth for myself, and 1 have some
soft shell crabs. Do you like them ?"
Ray nodded, rather ungraciously,
and the girl proceeded.
I'll put the tray right here, and
run back upstairs. Is there any
thing else 1 can do for you?"
Ray, with a touch of color steal
ing into her face was regarding the
tempting tray. She was dying to
eaf hut mora than ANYTHING else
she was dying to talk. 1t meant
sacrificing her pride, but the price
was worth it, and she said more
humanity.
Don't go away, stay and talk to
me for a while.
Flo Carter opened her eyes wide,
but quickly understanding the fact
that the woman was lonely, she
dropped down in a chair nearby and
drew the little table with the tray
close to the tumbled couch.
Ray ate hungrily, and forgot her
troubles. Flo Carter was almost
silent. She was afraid of chatter
ing, and so she sat studying the
work about the large studio room.
1t was Ray who started the con-
women talked for more than an
hour.
Ray discovered that Flo Carter
could do more than look pretty and
be happy. She was a very worth
while woman with a clever active
brain, and Flo Carter discovered
that her thoughtfulness had won
her another friend, a friend she
could value. Every cloud has its
silver lining, no matter how dark
and gloomy the day.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Whether you call this an
overall dress or a pantalette
dress it is a genuinely service
able garment quite adapted
to the housewife, and to the
enthusiastic gardner and to the
woman who is going out on the
farm to do the best that she
can to help in the Nation 'sstrug-
gle. You can make it of galatea
or of gingham or of any similar
material. The blouse and trousers
or pantalettes are finished sepa-
rately. The blouse is joined to
a belt and the pantalettes are
joined to separate bands that
are buttoned into place. If you
ever have tried to mount a
step ladder in a skirt that was
either so full that it wound
around your feet or a skirt so
narrow that it hampered your
steps, you will meet this garment
with enthusiasm. 1t is available
for numberless occasions.
For the medium size will be
needed, 81 yards of material
81 inches wide, ~ yards SO
with % yard 27 inches wide
for the trimming.
The pattern No. o46o is cut
in sizes from a. to AZ inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion

ceipt Of fifteen cents.

qualities and had a nice bit of prop
erty besides.
The marriage had turned out
well; she has been content with her
lot, wouldn't have had things differ
ent-but here was her boy. He was
the springtime which she had miss
ed. He was to her the expression of
that beauty and romance which lies
deep in every human heart. She
loved him so that her eyes ached
when she looked at him, and her
heart swelled with pride at the
splendid youth and spirit of him,
and broke with agony at the thought
that he was daily and hourly to
risk his life. He was all her joy of
the present and hope of the future.
For him she and her husband had
saved and scrimped and managed
and planned. And he had chosen tho
newest and most hazardous profess
sion in the world, and had gone into
the service to help win the war for
America.
Commonplace! There was some
thing so fine, so truly great about
the three of them, that 1 felt proud
to be sitting in the same room with
them.

NO cLorHEspINs IN CHINA

The American housewife carries
around a big bag of clothespins every
Monday. The Chinaman twists two
clotheslines together and thrusts the
corners of the washing between the
two strands. where they are held as
firmly as clothespins ever held them.
The introduction of clothespins will
not help the Chinese. and even such
revolutionizing products as the sew
ing machine, the electric light and
the phonograph. which give to Ameri-
cans leisure. evenings of good read
ing and grand opera at home. may
even mean longer hours of toll for
the Chinese, or unwholesome pleas
ures when the work in finished. La
borsavlng devices are for those who
can use spare time to advantage. but
are a curse to those whose spare time
is spent in idleness or worse.-Chris-

MAID OF ORLEANS ANNEXED

More annexations. This time the
German victim is Joan of Arc. Yes.
the Germans are actually claiming the
patron saint of France as a fellow
countrywoman. They have acquired
large quantities of statuettes and
images of the Maid in the French
towns. which they still occupy. In
one case, at least, they ordered a
manufacturer to make duplicates of
his casts. The Frenchman was as
tonlshed. and asked the reason of this
devotion. "Oh." was the reply. from
a Bavarian officer. Joan of Arc is
not French. since she was a Lor-
rainer, and Lorraine is German. Ger
tainly she prayed to heaven for the
success of our arms, for they are di-
rected against her mortal enemies,
the French. who delivered her up.
and the English. who burned her!-
