NEW housekeepers serve cucum-
bers save as salad or plainly
sliced with dressing. This is
unfortunate, as they may form the
basis Of any number of good dishes
that are not only inexpensive but
delicious.
A number of recipes for the prep
aration Of these dishes will be found
included In the tested recipes, and it
Is we'll to remember that when the
vegetable Is served uncooked in any
form 1t should be thoroughly chilled,
while If cooked II must be piping hot.
In cooked dishes, when q distinctive
sauce does not accompany it, little
strained spinach juice or other green
vegetable coloring matter may be
added to give 1t an attractive tint,

whether the vegetable be cooked or

Fashion in Reading as in
Dress, Which Lasts Only
for Season, Notes Writer

I cannot understand the rage mani
tested by the greater part Of the world
for reading new books. If the public
had read all those that have gone be-
fore, can conceive how they should
not wish TO read the same work twice
over: but when / consider the count
less volumes that lie unopened, unre-
garded, unread, and unthought Of, l
cannot enter into the pathetic COM
plants that / hear made that Sir
Walter writes no more-that the press
is idle. If / have not read book
before, IL is, to all intents and pur-
poses new to me, whether 1t was
printed yesterday or three hundred
years ago. If II be urged that IL has
no modern, passing incidents. and is
out of date and old-fashiOned, then
II is so much the newer; Ii is farther
removed from other works that l have
lately read, from the familiar routine
Of ordinary life, and makes so much
more addition to my knowledge. But
many people would as soon think Of
putting on old armor as of taking up a
book not published within the last
month, or year at the utmost. There
is a fashion I'm reading as well as In
dress, which lasts only for the season.

HELLO" Purely American
Expression, but Originated
With French Wolf Hunters

You should try to learn the old wolf
hunters call, because you know the
wolf is a scout, and that should be the
scout call, writes Dan Beard in Boys
Life.
This call was used in France first
and afterwards in England, but there
are no wolves in England now and the
bugle call has been forgotten in both
countries, therefore we paint ii green
and call 1t our own" Even though
William Tell and Robin Hood bugled
the same calls before America was dis
covered, we can make ii American the
same as we have made the old French
wolf hunters cry American. French
was spoken in English court circles. so
the titled wolf hunters used the French
cry "hab lie lOup" or "a lou loup. loup."
being pronounced loo, the cry being a
la loo; the English put on the ii and
made il halloo, and we made IL hello,
which Is an American expression. as
all the telephone girls know.
So the old wolf hunters buglc calls
which came here with the Huguenots
will also be American when blown
through wooden 6at-boatmen's trum-
pets.

MINES MENACE SHIPS
Germans Have Not Finished
Sweeping Their Area
American Field Swept as Completely

Knapp.

London.-Until the Germans COM
plete the sweeping of mine fields they
laid in the North Sea there will be con-
siderable danger to shipping In wa
ters adjacent to the British Isles, say
British and American naval authori-
ties. Even after that work has end
ed, which will not be before next sum-
mer, there will be some danger which,
they predict, will gradually diminish.
1.-THE American barrage is swept as
completely as Is humanity possible"
Admiral Harry s. Knapp, Of the Amer
lean navy, said to the Associated
Press correspondent. After our area
had been pronounced one hundred per
cent clear we reswept $50 miles of IT
These were at buoyed spot where
the sweepers believed they had missed
some"
1.-The greatest menace now" said
Lieutenant Commander Benson, of the
International mine destroying COM
mittee, ''is the unswept German area.
Until that field has been cleared there
will be many drifting mines about.
Afterward there will be some danger,
but it will rapidly diminish as the ele-
ments destroy the effectiveness of the
Mines"
He said the committee accounted
for mines on the basis that five per
cent explode when laid, five per cent
are defective, ten per cent soon be-
come useless through leakage and
fifty per cent of the total number laid
are destroyed by the different systems
Of sweeping employed by the British
and Americans.
Committee members believe that a
great many of the other thirty per cent
will be carried by the natural north
ward currents of the North Sea into
Arctic ice packs and destroyed; others
will go ashore on the Norwegian coast,

before the deal was completed he stip-
ulated in his will that the farm should
be sold for that amount TO Harvey
Meanwhile the farm had been sold for
$34. 800. and while the legatees contend

divided. Harvey claimed that only S20,-

should be divided. The court upheld
his contention.

INDIAN PAINTINGS ON CLIFFS
Owner Offers Them to State or Ma

Austin, Textile most remarkable

Enclosed in a park and adequately

These paintings, which are owned

Gated along the banks of the Concho
river near Paint Rock, upon every
available surface for a half-mile. They
are In deep red, with an occasional
black figure or character.
All phases of the early tribes are
represented, Mr.. Pearce declares, and
so much valuable historical material
is included in these paintings that Mr..
Pearce will have them copied in scale
for report to the Smithsonian insti-

Plants Should Be Watered
Thoroughly When Very Dry

Water pot plants only when they
need it, then water them thoroughly.
When the soil begins to get dry and
powdery on the surface, or when the
pot is tapped with the fingers and it
emits a ringing sound, the plant re-
quires water. Then give sufficient
water so that it runs out through the
bottom of the pot; withhold water un-
til needed again. Giving little water
every day, or at any stated interval,
is not the way TO water plants. Use
tepid rain water or water that has
been exposed to air and sun if pos
sible for a day or two. The water
should be just lukewarm about 80
degrees or 60 degrees. Never use ice
cold spring water for plants in winter.
Warm water may be. used to mix with
the cold to bring about the tempera-
ture named.

Couldn't Digest China Eco.

Smith Center, Kan.-TwO months
ago, while Mrs. Ellen Chitwood was
gathering eggs her hand came I'm con-
tact with big bullsnake in one of
the nests. Mrs. Chitwood took what
eggs were left. and in their stead left
one made of china. To her surprise,
next day this one also was gone. She
thought no more of the matter until a
day or so ago, when she met his snake
ship again. This time she mustered
courage to kill 1t with club. No
ticing an enlargement in the middle Of
the snakes body, she performed a
post-mortem examination and found

Coming on the heels of the an

Of the gravitational bending of light,

Of tremendous importance to chemists,

He Is Sir James Dewar. LII. D., ID. Sc,

The soap bubble is a simple thing,
yet II has always been more or less

II perhaps the best phenomenon exist
ing for the study of the habits and

Scientists now claim, on the
strength of the experiment made by
Sir James Dewar, that when a soap
bubble becomes very old, say In three
or four days, it offers the only pos

about one hundred layers of molecules.
But by various methods Of treatment
the bubble is induced to perform

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

The grower who expects to realize
a nice profit from his poultry, will
keep purebred stock. Any of the
standard breeds of poultry have years
Of intelligent breeding back of them
and they can be depended on to give
satisfaction.
Cross-breeding is step backward.
Most breeders who practice cross
breeding, mate one of the larger breeds
with one of the smaller, as Plymouth
Rock and Leghorn. The idea in cross
breeding is to produce a fowl that
will not only lay well, but one that
will also make a good table fowl. The
result of such crossing is always dis
appointing and results In a flock that
is little better than mongrels.
The advantages of keeping pure
bred stock are numerous: One can
market a uniform product In eggs
and stock. The value of uniformity
in products cannot be Over-estimated.
A case of eggs all of color and size,
or coop of hens that run uniform in
size and color, will usually sell better
than a mixed lot of eggs or a coop of
mongrels.
When purebred poultry is kept one
can often sell eggs for Matching or
mature stock, at prices that one could
not expect to realize for market eggs
or scrub stock.
And then the satisfaction and pride
of caring for flock of purebred
chickens is point that ought to be
considered.
