Hawaiian Custom of Adoption of Chill
dren Has Been the Cause of
Amusing Complications.

The very old custom of legal adop-
ton in the Hawaiian islands, which
originated when there were many
tribes often at war with one another,
was intended to bring peace among
them. The cause has long since dis
appeared, but the custom still persists.
When child is spoken for by some
relative or friend, the little baby, as
soon as it can leave it's own mother,
will be given to the foster mother, and
will be regarded as a sacred trust. A
Youths Companion contributor tells of
one woman wb5+ was the mother Of
eight children, seven of whom had
been adopted by friends. When she
was asked why she gave them away,
she replied sadly: '1t is a superstition,
know, but if they are asked for and
I refuse fear some harm might come
to them" The poor soul let them go
just because she loved them so much
The custom leads to very amusing
complications. One of the native
princesses now living has given her
baby to her own mother. The little girl
is legally adopted, and therefore has
become the grandmother's daughter.

white porch columns; the duplication
of windows or either side of the porch
all of these features are Colonial.
But to this house has been added
something unknown in Colonial days
modern sun parlor, or living porch.
Although the time in the history of
the country when there was little COM
fort to be found in the home is sug-
gested by this design, the house is
modern in all respects. 1t is of stand
ard brick construction, with outside,
or veneer walls of face brick. 1t con-
tains seven good rooms, three on the
first floor and four on the second, be-
sides the sun porch and bathroom.
The size of the house of 36 by 26 feet,
with an eight-foot porch projection at
the side.
Accompanying the exterior view of
the house are the floor plans, which
show the arrangement of the rooms and
their sizes. The entrance leads into q
narrow hall, out of which run the stairs

material dealers all are experts in thS
building business and know how to get
the best house for the money.
There is another advantage in de-
Gliding on the plans for the new home
during the winter. Next spring will
begin the greatest year in the his
tory of the building industry. There
will be as much work as can possibly
be done; many predict more than the
builders of the country can take care
Of Consequently those home builders
who wait until late in the spring to
plan their home and engage a con-
tractor are liable to be disappointed.
There never was time when it was
more advantageous for those who can
possibly do so to build a home. The
law of supply and demand is operating
on the cost of renting, the supply be-
ing so far short of the demand that
owners are getting rents which are
all out of proportion to the invest
ment. If person now paying rent
builds himself home, he will tEd It

few tablespoonfuls of boiling water.
Cook for ten minutes; then add hot
cream poured over the fish and bake
for ten or fifteen minutes longer.
Serve with the sauce poured over the
fish. Milk may be used with butter,
but nothing tastes quite so good as
cream.
Dinner SaIad.-Use a few sections
of grapefruit with all membranes re-
moved and broken in small bits ar
ranged on lettuce and sprinkled with
finely shredded green pepper. Serve
with an oil dressing, using corn oil.
Beat the yolk of an egg, add salt,
sugar, mustard and lemon juice when
well mixed add little corn oil, beat
ing well. Continue beating until thick
and creamy. Use about three-fourths
of a cupful Of oil to one egg yolk and
a tablespoonful or two of lemon juice.
This dressing will keep indefinitely if
kept cold.
Fried Onions and Apples.-Slice two
onions very thin and cook in table
spoonful of hot fat until yellow. then
add half dozen sliced tart apples !;
cook until soft, adding a bit of water
and fat if needed. Just before serving
add a teaspoonful Of sugar. Serve
with roast pork, pork sausages or pork
steak or chops. If one does not like
the onions or desires variety core the
apples without peeling, slice in half
inch slices and fry carefully not to
break them. Serve with chops, max
ing an overlapping ring of the apples
around the chops.
Add one tablespoonful of cornstarch
to each cupful of flour in making cake.
1t improves the grain greatly.
Boiled Tongue With Brown Sauce
| Cook tongue until tender cool and
skin it, then serve reheated in the fol-
lowing sauce: Cook two tablespoon

spoonfuls of butter until brown. Strain
out the onion and add four tablespoon

or two of mashed potato can be turned
into a most nourishing soup.
Soup is not necessarily made from
used as beans, peas and other vege-
tables cooked until soft and passed
through a sieve, then heated with milk,
water or stock. Using leftover vege-
tables is an economy.
Split Pea Soup.-Take one pint OF
dried peas, four quarts of water, one
large onion minced fine, four table
spoonfuls of drippings (or butter is
better, as it gives a better f1avor),
three tablespoonfuls Of flour, one ta-
blespoonful Of minced celery or few
dried leaves, one-half teaspoonful OF
paprika and two teaspoonfuls of salt.
Wash the peas and soak them over
night in cold water. In the morning
pour off the water and put them into
the soup kettle with three quarts OF
water. Place over the fire and bring
to the boiling point. Pour off this wa
ter and add four quarts of boiling wa
ter, and let the peas simmer for four
hours. Add the celery the last hour
of cooking. Cook the onion and drip
pings slowly for half an hour. Drain
the water from the peas and save the
water. Add flour, water and season
ing and cook half an hour, stirring
often. Mash the peas, rub through a
sieve, and mix with the other ingredi-
ents. Cook 20 minutes and serve hot
Scotch Broth.-Take three pounds OF
mutton, two tablespoonfuls of pearl
barley, two tablespoonfuls of minced
onion, two tablespoonfuls of minced
| turnip, the same of carrot and minced
celery, and salt; one tablespoonful OF
minced parsley and three quarts OF
cold water. Remove the bones and al
the fat from the mutton, cut the meal
In small pieces, and put into the stew
pan with the water, chopped vegeta
bles, barley and all the seasonings ex
cept the parsley, and simmer three
hours. Add the parsley and serve.

She Hated Laziness,

A travelling man was eating in a
stuffy little restaurant one very hot
summer day. There were no screens
at the windows or the door. The pro-
prietress herself waited on her Gus
toners and shooed flies from the ta-
BILE at the same time. Her energetic
but vain efforts attracted the attention
and reused the sympathy of the trav.

"Would it not be better to have your

Bees Follow Airplane.

The owner of large apiary in
southeastern Missouri is mourning the
loss of half his million bees, lured
from home by passing airplane. The
plane was on its way to the funeral
of former lieutenant of the air serv-
ice, the after cockpit heaped with fra
grant magnolia blossoms and trailing
a magnificent wreath. Passing over
the bee farm, the alluring odor was
waited to the hives. The bees
swarmed at once and were last seen
as a large cloud dwindling into the
far west after the fleeing airplane
The chase continued for at least
twenty miles. - Popular Mechanics

Long Meteor Flight.

Numerous observations of the bril-
liant meteor seen in the early evening
of October 81, 1919, show that it had
the long horizontal flight of 335 miles
from over a point 20 miles northeast
of York, England, to 30 miles south
west of st. Valery, France. 1t trav-
eled at a speed of about SO miles a
second and it's average altitude was
IA miles. Its radiant point and speed

place are doors that lead to the living
porch. This arrangement brings the
fireplace and chimney walls within
the house, which is an economical
building practice as the heat that the
chimney may throw is kept inside.
The two wide doors leading to the liv-
ing porch also bring the two rooms to-
gether In such a manner as to give
the impression Of spaciousness.
On the other side of the entrance
hall at the front of the house is the
dining room, IL feet 6 inches, by Is
feet. This room is made light and
cheerful by bay window at the side.
At the rear of the dining room is the
kitchen. 8 feet 6 inches, by 13 feet 6
inches, which has a large pantry ad-
| joining.
Each of the four bedrooms up
stairs opens off the central hall. Each
bedroom is corner room, permitting
good ventilation, and also is conven-
lent to the bathroom, placed at the
rear. Closets are numerous.
The basement extends under the
whole house, with the exception of the
living porch. Here is provided space
for the heating plant, the fuel supply
and room for the storage rooms of
different kinds.

beat them light and fluffy. Fill the
skins with this and place in the oven
to brown.
Farm Potato Dish.-For a good
sized family, take a milk pan, cover
the bottom with sliced potatoes, filling
the pan nearly full; sprinkle over the
sliced potatoes one, two or three finely
shredded onions, the number depending
upon the amount of potato or the fam
lily taste. Cover all with well-seasoned
pork chops which have been cooked
on one side. Place them cooked side
next to the potatoes, and place in the
oven to cook until the potatoes are
done and the chops brown. This is
busy day, and is very appetizing.
Hot Potato Salad.-One quart of
| boiled potatoes diced, one minced on
ion, chopped parsley and green pepper
to taste. Take two slices of bacon
diced, and fry until brown; remove
the bits of friend bacon and use as
garnish on top of the salad. Add a
tablespoonful of flour to the hot fat,
and when smooth stir in half-cupful
of vinegar, half-cupful of hot water,
one teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful
Of sugar and little pepper. Stir and
cook until smooth, then pour hot over
the vegetables. Serve hot.
Potatoes, Spareribs and Apples
Place seasoned spareribs in baking
dish and cook one hour. Place quar-
tered potatoes under the spareribs and
Quartered apples on top. Bake one
hour more. Season well with salt and
pepper before baking.
