his announcement, Captain McSwain
outlined a number OF points upon
which he will base his claim for cleo
ton. Among other things he says
he believes in the league of nations

ii can not prevent all future wars

"'FOLLOW THE TRACKS"
Regular Old Fashioned April First
Mystery Is With Us Today.

Tracks always have the atmosphere
of mystery about them. Doesn't make
any difference whether they be rail-
road tracks, which lead into the land
of far away, or little or big foot prints.
Tracks keep up your imagination
particularly odd looking tracks. Per-
haps you can't figure out the sort of
animal that has passed on it's journey.
THAT adds to the zest of the question.
Just because today is April LIST, with
ats FRANKS and mysteries, it is a right
good time to try to puzzle out the odd
looking tracks which appear in this
issue.
Many animals have big husky feet,
and it's worth while brushing up on
this track business to discover what
kind of an animal makes this sort of
foot print.
After all, a little fun adds to the
Joy of living. And you'll undoubtedly
get some fun out of this real April
first mystery.
Follow the Tracks" is the cry all
over the nation today. Study this
mystery picture and those that follow
tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. It'll
be lot of enjoyment. Just Follow

mother. 1t was so much more elegant
than anything to which she was &C
customed, l was afraid it would make
her feel just little-out-of-pl place.
SO l added some honey touches
a sewing basket, bible with good
large print so it would not strain her
eyes, a couple of copies of her ia
vorite magazine, a footstool she had
spoken of as being so comfortable on
her previous visit; and, the morning
she was expected I decked the room
with some old-fashioned flowers such
as we had at home in the garden.
l remember that one of the maids
said to me:
ooh, why didn't you get roses or
something?" And rather looked down
on my kitchen-garden bouquet.

TOMATOES BACK IN Favor,
MAKE GOOD PRESERVES

Thrifty housekeepers in localities
where fruit has been high priced and
scarce this summer are turning to their
old friend, the tomato, to increase
their preserve supply. Made by the
following recipe, which is recommend
ed by the United States department of
agriculture, tomato preserves are a
real delieacy.
The pear or cherry varieties of to-
mato are best for preserves. Other
kinds may be used, but these grow
easily and abundantly and make a
much more attractive preserve. I'm
merse the ripe tomatoes y few at a
time, in boiling water for = few min
utes only. Remove the skins carefully
SO as not to break the tomatoes. Weigh
them and place them in . preserving
kettle with as many pounds Of graun-
lated sugar as there are tomatoes.
Prepare green ginger root BY care
fully scraping of the skin and shaving
the root to small bits. Add one level
teaspoon of these ginger shavings to
each 2pounds Of tomatoes. Let the
contents of the kettle come to q boil
and boil for ten minutes. Remove the
tomatoes from fthe sirup and spread
them upon flat dish to cool. This
will keep them from coming to pieces.
When cool return them to the boiling
sirup and boil gently until they are
the desired thickness Put into jars
while hot adding slice of lemon to
each jar before sealing.

congress will have to pay the bills just
