A Little Chair Can Follow the
Baby Anywhere

Go-carts that can be packed into sufficiently
small compass to pass as hand luggage are as
inevitably part of the baby's baggage as is
his bottle.
Now comes another piece of travelling fur
riture, a small adjustable high chair which
hangs on the back of any ordinary chair and
folds into even smaller compass than the 60
cart With these two essential aids to com
fort the babys home is literally wherever he
filings down his bonnet.
The Kiddy Chair, as it is called, has nickel
or japanned frame supporting white enamel.
mahogany or oak finished wooden seat back
and tray The back supports of the frame end
in hooks which can be fastened over the back
of any straight backed chair, to the foot of
bedstead on the back of a park bench or sus-
pended from an automobile robe rail. In fact,
1t will hang on anything which will afford the
hooks-and the baby--support The hanging
hooks are rubber protected and rubber knobs
placed against the back supports do away with
any danger of marring the piece Of furniture
to which the little chair is attached
The tray is hinged at one side, so that II
may be lifted when the baby is put IN or out
of his chair and locks securely into place when
it is desirable for him to "stay put
The active youngster shown in the iustra-
tion was pressed into service by the Tribune
Institute in order that the chair might be
given the severest possible test. AS may be
guessed by looking at him, his moments OF
ouiescence are few and far between.
# it had been possible to throw the large
chair over backward or dislodge the little hang
ing chair from its back he would have done it.
The fact that it remained stationary under all
his plunges and gambols justiies us in saying
that it is safe, and his delight with 1t argues
that it is as comfortable as any baby chair.
Weighing, as it does, only four pounds, and
folding into very small compass, this little
chair may be carried anywhere. 1t is most
convenient during summer vacation tlme-es-
pecialy if the holiday is spent in country
note! or farmhouse, where the family high
chair may have been retired from active duty
for some years.

~ ITS of conversation overheard at one Of
II the student-thronged dining rooms on
Morningside Heights sometimes make
one realize how interesting the records Of the
Appointments Office at Columbia University
must be.
The university lends its services in assist
ing students to get either part time or perma-
nent work And it is not surprising that the
employment department of as cosmopolitan
and varied a gathering as the country could
produce should be the clearing house for
varied and extraordinary talent.
Teaching and tutoring In all their branches
are, of course, obvious fields of activity, as are
translatng and such secretarial work as typ
ing and revision Of theses
Acting as companion to some semi-lnNaIld
during a vacation, minding child an hour
three times day while its parents go out to
meals. and officiating at the pay desk of an
apartment house dining room are also among
the commoner avocations of the women stu
dents.
But some evening if you are near enough
to one Of the big round tables you may hear
such conversations as this:

THE canning fever this year has called
into existence endless contrivances for
lifting hot jars out Of the steamer or

With a parallel wire handle at right angles.
This litter is meant for lifting the jars IN

is around the neck of the jar and is tightened

Grind Your Cornmeal at Home

Southerners and Mexcans have known for
generations that only hand-ground or water
ground cornmeal should be used if one wishes
to make really delicious corn dishes such as
Southern egg bread or the ubiquitous tortitta,
which forms the basis Of so many triumphs Of
the Mexican chef.
The great demand for underground meal
proves that Northern cooks are beginning to
realize the value of the whole kernel, as op-
posed to that from which a part of the food
elements have been extracted-as in the case
of the commercial kiln-dried yellow meal.
To these the Nixtamal hand mill will prove
a great convenience. Also it is handy thing
to have around the house, because it can be
used not only for grinding corn into meal, but
also for grinding cereals, cocoa beans, pea
nuts, poppy seed and anything that needs re-
ducing to coarse or fine meal or paste.
One advantage of this mill is that the cyl
inder is octagonal. a shape which makes for
much greater efficiency in grinding. The scroll
with the crank handle fits into the cylinder.
OF the two knives which make up the mill one
is rigidly fastened to the machine, while the
other revolves with the crank. All parts of
this mill are timed, and it is adjustable so
that coarse and fine grinding may be done
at will. 1t looks like ordinary food chop
per, and is camped to the table in the same
way.

may he combined with other fruit juices to add
variety to the winter stock of jelies. Or, just
before turning the jelly into the glasses, add
little vanilla extract or a few drops of almond
extract.
Pleasant variations are obtained by adding
lemon or orange cut in very thin slices when
putting the apple juice on to cook and skim out
the sliced fruit, just before adding the sugar.
If four or five freshly gathered and washed
lemon verbena or rose geranium leaves are held
in the hot jelly, still other favors are OBJ
