Holu Two Robins
Started to "Keep House,

One bright morning in the spring
two little birds, mother Robin and
father Robin flew into the school
yard. The father Robin with his
orange breast, brown coat and
trousers with yellow and brown
stockings, his mother bird all in
soft brown with a few little tan
trimmings.
These little birds were carrying
in their beaks some bits of straw
for a nest they were planning to
build, some where they hardly
knew where.
That same week those two little
Robins had started to build nest
and each time the naughty spar
rows had chased them away when
the nest was half built. It was
under the caves of house near
by, sheltered from the rain and
wind.
Tia little Robins were up early

When Roland came into the room

Aunt Polly.

Dear Aunt Polly:
Why are Jews always short
men. A. l.. R.
Dear A. L. R.:
Jews are not always short men,
for, though many of them are short,
many are very large men. The
Jews belong to the great group of
races of people called the Semitic
group in which the average man
is of medium height. Often races
are stunted in their development
by having come up against very
hard conditions. The Eskimos
are dwarfed by their life in the
frozen northlands and wherever
there is great shortage of food as
there is today in many parts OF
Europe and Asia, the growth OF
the people is stunted. We learn that
babies that can live through the
desperate conditions often do not
walk at all till they are four years
old, for they are not strong enough.
Their growth is hindefed, is almost
stopped by their misfortune. So
you see it Is possible for races Of
people to fall short of an average
growth by hard living conditions
endured long, long ago, or being
endured right now. However the
Jews can not be said to be as a
race, below the average height.

Dear Juniors:

So many of %1u juniors write stories about rich man
Who buys pretty home and pretty clothes for poor little
girl and then you say she lives happily after And
wonder if she really does Pretty homes and pretty
clothes nice but really and truly doubt that hous

money Carnegie Rockefeller, so can not really
say anything from that point OF view. can say this,
though that have been very happy many times when my
pocketbook was true image OF something that felt like

Do you know the beautiful fairy story that Maurice
Maeternck tells about the long trip the two children,
Tylty and Myl take to try to find the Blue Bird of Hap

sights they such talking trees and dogs and oaves
of bread as we'll as ones and fairy chill
dren-but they did not find the blue bird till they
back home and noticed that their little turtle dove swing
ing happily in his little cage looked blue to them Then
somehow when Tyltyl gave the bird away to the little
neighbor girl who was cripple and wanted bird
much the little dove seemed to get buer and buer So
Tyy found his happiness after he had the courage to
give something he wanted himself to who want

many ways of finding the real Blue Bird of Happiness
Many people feel especially happy when Spring is
coming The return of singing birds, the swelling buds.
the fresh warm Winds the little leaves beginning to peek
out of their hiding places and blue skies chased over by
gay white clouds have way of making everything seem
new again and people to wake up again and realize
that it really is a wonderful thing to live after all.

Dear Aunt Polly:
What Is the largest river in the
world?
N. T.
Dear N. T.:
When people considered what
river they should call the largest
in the world they found they would
have to say what they thought the
word largest" meant in connection
with rivers. They decided that
the river that discharged the great
est amount of water should be cal
led the largest. Looking at it in
this way the Amazon is called the
largest river in the world, although
in length it is not so long as either
our own Mississippi or the Nile. 1t
has been figured that the Amazon
drains 100000 square miles OF
territory.

Extraction of the
Pineapple's Eye

WE ARE not thinking of the
pineapple when we speak of the
painless extraction of its eye. A
pineapple has considerable porcu-
pine blood in it, and while practical
y every one is devoted to it's frag-
ance and flavor it takes devotee
G pare one. The little pair. of specb
lily adapted prongs on a Scissor
ike" mounting, digs out each eye
tin q minimum OF waste and no
rouble whatever. 1t digs in" with
10 effort, detaches the prickly little
point, and lifts it out without any
pull at all. This is accomplished
ny the curiously shaped ends on the
scissor base. One Is shaped like a
small sharp scoop l1s inch long,
y inch wide and Is of an inch decp)
The other is hollow oval loop, into
which the scoop fits neatly, and the
pineapple eye is entrapped and
lifted out
The handles or grips are comfort
able and shapely, fitting the thumb
on one side and two fingers on the
other. One could eye" pineapples
by the hour, for canning as well as
for the table, without hard labor or
discomfort. One large pineapple was
"deeyed" in the Institute kitchen in
four minutes, removing ffty-four
eyes, If pineapple is sliced and
then the edges trimmed off CAS- one
would do with toast), a great deal
is wasted, and the process is labor
ious and painful
This little device should increase
the consumption of pineapples-one
of the most appetizing and whole
some of fruits, especially when
mixed with other fruits, especially
bananas, for dessert or fruit cup.
It's fragrance and flavor are an adj
dition to beverages as we'll.

w 7 HEN the prickly pineapple
wv appears on the fruit Stalls
and in the groceries our
mouths water just q little in
spite Of the looks of the exterior
of the fruit. However, be sure in
purchasing that you select one that
is ripe. 1t can easily be ascertained
by pulling the green feathers at the
top; if they come out easily it is
fully ripe and JUICY within. Try
this method and you will always
get a fine one.
Sugared pineapple cubes alone are
one Of the most cooling and delight
full Of fruits, and when combined
with strawberries, oranges, bananas
or cherries they are no less de-
dcious. The perfume and aromatic
flavor Of pineapple is impossible to
disguise.
They are rather expensive, and
for that reason we have concocted
several very delicious recipes, using
them in combination with other
foods. The strong flavor can be ex-
tended in a most delightful name,
and combines tremendously witt
carrots, rhubarb, cranberries ana
apples, as we'll as with tomatoes and
especially with chicken meat, a fact
that the Chinese capitalize more
than any one else.
The effort Of "eying" the pineap
pie is we'll repaid after tasting any
one of these unusual dishes.
Carrot Pineapple Pudding
Combine one-half cupful each or
grated raw carrot, grated raw DO
tato and diced pineapple together
with one-fourth cupful of suet, one
half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful
each Of cinnamon, alspice and salt.
Mix with onesfourth cupful of raj
sins and oneMlf cupful of floul
which has been sifted with two tea
spoonsful of baking powder. Steam
in individual molds for about forty
minutes. Serve with caramel sauce
or any other you prefer. Plain
cream or hard sauce is good also.
Marmalade Hodge Podge
Cut four oranges, skin and pulp
into small pieces. Stone and cut
twelve peaches and combine both
with one pound of chopped rhubarb
and one pineapple. Mix with twelve

ful Of prunes, cut into small pieces.
