be done in half the time.
This woman never knew that she lost
much of the food value of the potato
by this method. To cook potatoes sue

WHY is TRUE FRIENDSHIP
so SELDOM FOUND IN GIRLS?
Is Unnecessary Shou Hoio Much You Loue Girl Hoo
Well She Takes Your Criticism in Order Prove This

MTHY is it that girls so seldom have
w the real wholesome, give and take
kind of friendship? Is there something
about their natures that keeps them
from understanding each other, or
rather, keeps them from wanting to
understand each other. and makes them
feel "hurt'i at the least suggestion of
criticism on the part of their friends?
| know OF just two girls who have
the real Friendship with capital ~.
They are not forever hanging around
each others necks to show how loving
they are, and they never make unkind
remarks to each other to show how far
they can go without starting quarrel.
That is simply understood between
them. When they are together they
wear an expression of perfect content,
They are serenely certain that il one
of them says something she is in no
danger of hurting the others feelings.
One of them invited a few girls TO
the house for tea not long ago. "T
call it tea, she explained to one of
her guests, but there really is no tea
because we cant use any of our pre-
cious sugar TO sweeten it,
well. I'm sure that we would all
much prefer whatever you're having, I"
replied her guest, conscientiously trying
to say the right thing.
'Not I, broke in the Girl Who I'm
derstood. I'm just crazy for tea, but
I suppose III have TO be. satisfied with
this!' and she stopped TO laugh at
the shocked expression of the other
guest. But the hostess was not wor
ried She understood She knew that
her friends feeling for her was NOT
influenced by what she gave her for
tea.

made of ribbon and consists of mir

little round mirror-pocketbook size-is
backed with satin ribbon. and has a
straight little handle also bound in rib
bon. And the powder puff, of soft
lambs wool. is just as large around as
the mirror, and is also backed with rib
bon, and has a convenient handle. Both
are the same size. measuring perhaps
four inches in length. The price of the

tie ribbon is used, but with very good
effect. 1t comprises the decorative note
of the entire frock, giving it design and
adding length that is usually desired by
the short woman or the woman who
is too rotund. For the eye, in looking
at this dress, follows one line of rib
bon from the shoulder TO a point be-
low the ending of the tulle slip. This
ribbon is plain, with embroidery il

ing SONIA X.
If you have n bread and butter plate
at your place, you may take the knife
and fork off the plate and place them
on the bread and butter plate. If you
have merely small butter plate it
would be better to place the knife and
fork at one side of your dinner plate.
OF course, at formal dinner you would
never be required to pass your plate.
The dishes would be passed to you by
the waitress and you would help your

Dear Madam--Will YOU kindly tell
me how to wash or clean a pair of
fawn colored spats without injuring

DAILY READER.
Washing spats is a very difficult mat
ter. and unless you have had expert
ence in cleaning such things yourself,
it would be more sensible to send them
to n cleaner. Gasoline will clean them
or rubbing with carbon tetrachloride,
which can be bought at the drug store,
would be safer, as gasoline is inflam-
mable.
Dark brown gcorgette crepe would
not take a good blue. 1t would be bet
ter to dye it black or darker brown.

My dear Mrs Wilson
I have been glad to read your in
structions telling. just how to do
certain things. Now will you tell
just how to use egg and bread crumbs
for oysters, croquettes, ETC.. so as not
to waste either? When the price of
eggs Is almost prohibitive, is there
any substitute for them in preparing
food for deep frying?
In many cases the directions say,
rub the fruit or vegetable through a
sieve. What kind of sieve? At
home we had n hair sieve and wire
one, each with a wooden rim. but it
never seemed possible to get it per
fectly clean around the edge. What
does one rub the vegetables or fruit
with: ] try to use an aluminium
colander. but it is an almost erdless
task and waste half the material.
Tt seems as though there should be
some kind of revolving utensil. work

ETHICS OF SCOUTS TRAPPING.

The scout movement today Is facing
the necessity of giving the proper
leadership in the matter Of trapping
animals that can be classified as HARM
full to the nations food and game sup
ply. With this In mind, says DIR. Will
liam T. HOrnaday. feel free to state
that there is one way, and one way
only, In which the steel trap and the
boy scout law can be brought into
state of real harmony.
Often. in sections where scouts live,
there exist fOur-f6oted Americans who.
although interesting, are not good citi.
zens because of certain predatory in
stincts which make Of them, when
they are too numerous, real pests that
must be abated for the common good
Of all. It is in this work that the
scout can employ the steel trap. and
at the same time live up to the prin.
ciples of the scout law.
In the West. the gray wolf with his
murderous instincts and marvellous
cunning ways works great havoc
among the flocks Of sheep, the colts
and the calves.
In other corners Of the country,
foxes, mink. raccOons, skunks and
weasels collect q toll from the poultry
rOosts, the crops and the valuable wild
bird life of the neighborhood. In such
districts these fur.bearers become the
legitimate game Of the scout trapper.

EDUCATOR VALUES SCOUTING

Hon. p. T.. Claxton. commissioner Of

Persons Of vision declare that We
are entering upon renaissance in
education. Let us hope that this pre-
diction finds its justification in the
awakening Of the consciousness of
teachers to the infinite possibilities of
development Of the educative proc
ess.
1.-The church and the school, ade-
Quately to serve the youth committed
to their care, must extend their func-
tons and absorb under. their direction
the leisure time Of the boy.
THE availability Of the boy scout
program for such purpose has been
fully tested. 1t has beer" approved
by leading educators; the movement -
essentially religious, hut nonsectarian.
1t trains for citizenship, but is non
partisan and nonpoIitical.
1T offers the hoy the opportunity
to do the things he wants to do. in
better way than he can do them by
himself. Scouting is desig ned to make

CONDEMNS NEGLECT OF BLIND.
Director Of institute for helping Un.
fortunates Criticixss the Attitude o.
20 81 the Public.

In the American Journal of Care
for Cripples, the attitude OF the pub
lie toward the blind is discussed by
Lieut.. Col. James Bordley, director
OF the Red Cross Institute for the
Blind at Baltimore, where American
blinded soldiers are given the cour-
age and the training necessary 70,
their struggle with a new mode Of
living.
"By some strange process of rea-
soning the blind man is looked upon
as something apart from the rest Of
our civilization" writes Colonel
Bordley. "He automatically loses
his job, and his social position with
the loss Of his vision; he is looked
upon as not only physically but men,
tally disqualified from earning iv-
ing. This is not only unfair, but it
is absurd. There are capable blind
and incapable blind just as among
sighted people. The most potent
cause in the failure Of the blind is
the total lack Of provision for their
vocational re-education. There 10
not in this broad land OF ours sim
gle vocational school for the blind,
nor has there ever been devised .
scientific scheme for their education.
There is not a single normal school
teacher to teach the blind. The Az
erage wage Of the industrious blind
man is 81 per week, and Of the cor
responding blind woman about -
per week. Is this not utterly un-
fair?"
