HOW TO MAKE MONEY
AT HOME A PROBLEM
Women in Different Com
munities Find Different
Solutions

How to make money at home is
problem for which many women
must find a solution. In Orange
County, Fla, one of the members
of home club organized by the
home demonstration agent is
making speciality of "gift
boxes" and is doing we'll with her
enterprise. These attractive boxes
contain a few perfect oranges,
grapefruit, and kumquats, and are
sold all packed and ready for
shipment to the tourists who send
them North as gifts to friends.
During the best part of the winter
season this clue member sells 40
to SO boxes day, and on each she
makes a very fair profit.
Thousands of home women are
found in every State who are
anxious to earn money without
going from home to do it. Hand
painted china, embroidery, and
crocheted articles are usually the
first things thought of as possi-
BILE means of producing pin money
or in some instances a most nee
| essary living income. The anna
teur manufacturer soon finds,
however, that the demand for
such articles is small and that as
income producers they are a fail
ure, for almost every woman is
able to make them for herself and
few desire to buy them ready
made.
The home demonstration agents
who were sent out by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State agriculture colleges
advise the women in their terri
tories who are anxious to earn
some money of their own not to
try to sell something that the ma
jority of women can produce for
themselves, but to look over the
) local field and to see if there is
not something which people want
and need that the one desiring an
income can make better than any
one else or something that she
can supply from her resources for
which there is a real demand. The
county agents, knowing local con-
ditions and individuals, can usual
ly be of much assistance in help
ing woman decide what is the
best article for her to attempt to
sell and what is the best way to
market it. ~
1t may be, if the woman lives in
the country or in a small town
, that she has plenty of honey and
currants and can make delicious
barbecue, a small jar of which
brings a good price in the city, OF

Cranberry Ice

One quart cranberries, one pint
water, one pound sugar, juice of
two lemons. Cook the cranberries
with the water until the berries
are tender: then strain; add the
sugar and cook until this is thor
oughly dissolved. Cool; stir in the
strained lemon juice, and freeze
to the consistency of water ice.
Serve as a dessert or in sherbet
glasses as an accompaniment to
roast turkey or any hot or cold
meats. This is enough for six
persons.

For The
Homemaker's Eve

The cranberry is essentially
holiday dish. The brilliant color
and the high pectin content which
permits it to gelatinize readily
makes it Invaluable as a table
decoration, when nodded into the
many shapes made possible by
ingenious mold makers. In addi-
tion to the decorative quality 1T
has also that Of being delicious,
healthful and economical. With the
price of sugar lowering now ar
round the ten cent mark, cram
berry dishes are not expensive.
The great acidity of the fruit
makes it unwise to cook in any
thing except porcelain lined,
enameled or aluminium vessels.
Eight pounds of cranberries and
212 pounds of sugar make lO
tumblers of beautifully colored
Jelly. The complete recipe for
this appears below.
Cranberry Salad
Cook together one quart of
cranberries with one pint of boil
ing water twenty minutes. Put
through a sieve and add two cup
fuls of sugar; cook five minutes.
Dissolve one and one-half table,
spoonfuls of gelatlne in a little
cold water, add to the hot cram
berry sauce and srlr until we'll
mixed. Just before it begins to
set pour half of Mt into an enamel
pan which has been rinsed in cold
water. Allow it to become firm,
keeping the rest warm over not
water. Sprinkle one cupful OF
diced celery, one-half cupful OF
diced walnut meats over the stiff
Jelly and pour the remaining
,pelatine mixture over this, and
allow it to set. When firm cut in
slices and serve on lettuce leaves
with mayonnaise dressing; garn-
ish with whole nut meats.
Cranberry Jelly
Cook until soft the desired
quantity of cranberries with l12
hints of water for each two quarts
of berries. Strain the juice
through a jelly bag. Measure the

He did what not all men would
have done under the circumstances.
He was actually as rude as the girl
was impudent! He scowled and drew
away from that parade of feminine
sweetness with gesture of supreme
disgust
I left the drug store wondering
how many of the men knew best

resent so obviously the advances of
so beautiful girl, and | thought that
it would be far wholesomer world

she come to my house to meet Ted

and has done much in many ways to
promote child welfare upon which
the welfare of the nation ultimately
rests. 1t has made it a fundamental
principle to avoid futile Implications,
to cooperate with public agencies
when its cooperation was sought,
and to supply deficiencies where such
agencies had not yet been estab-
lished.
at has continued it's educa tional
work among the school children
through its Junior Red Cross branch,
and it has, as one result of it's war
experience, put preparation for disas-
ter-relaf on a scientific foundation,
so that it is now equipped to meet
disaster emergencies promptly in al
most every part Of our country.
by systematic plans and practical
performances, it has given a clear
answer to the question why the Red
Cross should be continued and car
RED over from war activity into
peace-time activity The answer is
in the record
Additional to these obvious as
poets of the matter, there is another
reason why |, as president of the
United States and president of the
American Red Cross, urge my fellow
countrymen to join the Red Cross in
impressive numbers: Reaction fol

Ted Bravely Resents The Advances
of A Beautiful Girl.
MAN-AND-WOMA problems, for

MAN-AND-WOMAN problems, for
AVA merly forbidden to the tongues
of girls, are now freely discussed
wherever women, young or old, as
semble; too freely discussed, some
persons think. Today the girl of the
college dormitory and the girl of the
factory have the same knowledge
which is all the knowledge there is
to be CLEANED from gossip and from
books.
The distinguishing and inevitable
feature of conversation when women
married or unmarried, get together
is somebody's fortune in love, but ii
is doubtful if all the words women
exchange on matrimonial problems
have helped much toward their So
luton. Today girls know all that
their mothers and aunts were shield
ed from knowing in the day of Vic
torian prudery, and little good does
their wisdom do them.
When | suggested to Deb that she
tell Ted Moore her true reason for
refusing him, was simply moiling
over that very ancient and common
problem: Should a girl tell all of
her past history to the man she
promises to marry? How much
should a man tell a girl?
All the modern discussion about it
and kindred subjects seems only to
have enlightened young girls to an
unpleasant degree. No one is the
happier because no one practices the

THE following message from Presi-

dent of the American Red Cross, to
the American Red Cross, to the
American people, was issued from
the White House:
The American Red Cross deserves
a hearty response to its fourth invi-
tation to annual membership, which
will be issued during the fortnight be-
ginning November the Eleventh, Ar
mistice Day.
Under the stimulus Of war and
through the cooperation of our peo-
Pile, this organization grew into
immense size, enlarged its range of
activity, served not only our fighting
forces but also civilians involved in
the hardships of war in our own ma
ton and in the nations associated
with US in a great common enter
prise, and gave to the world an ex-
ample of effective mercy through CO.
ordinated effort
Since the cessation of hostilities,
the organization has faced a dual
duty: first, to fulfill obligations Great
ed by the war, and, secondly, to adapt
its experience and machinery to the
needs of peace
at is, today, still assisting gov
eminent agencies in the care and
cheer Of our disabled soldiers and
sailors, in replacing those able to
work in civilian occupations, and in
counselling and aiding the families
of former combatants; and it is still
assisting, with diminished resources,
the process of rehabilitation in some
of the more Frustrated countries of
our former associates.
while continuing these manifest
| obligations the Red Cross has been
accommodating methods and apply
ing lessons learned in war to the nor
NAL needs of our own people in times
of peace, especially in regions where
provisions for public health and
welfare were imperfectly DEVELOPED

many localities, and has endeavored
to enlist greater numbers of v0unp

order that the supply might more

CLOWLY and with great effort he
dragged himself across the street
to where was waiting for a car.
He was the most hisshapen piece of
humanity | had ever seen.
He was 62 years old, ne said, and
looked the part. His deformities
dated from his birth. His mother
had been scared by bull, and the
prenatal penalty had landed on the
body of her unoffending offspring
and smashed it beyond repair; and
for go years and more he had drag
ged the thing along the earth, watch
ing the straight and virile and 1.-the
forms of his fellows function with
ease and grace.
| helped him aboard the car to
the seat, and then it was that he
flung his question in my face
" Preacher, why is it that more peo-
pie do not get victory?"
Victory? The question all but
took away my breath. Who was he
to talk to victory? From the hour
of his birth his life had been one
long, crushing, deadening defeat. If
he had spoken of pain, of anguish,
of disappointment, of bitter resent
men, of foiled ambition, of despair.
[ could have understood him. but the
thin lips, pallid with pain, were
speaking of victory.
He had victory He had won a
bigger victory than was ever won by
arms on the field of battle. He was
not speaking of victory in war, or
victory in business, or victory in con-
flicts where he was matched against
his fellowmen.
He was speaking of victory, of
conquering in a conflict where the
dauntless soul of a man matches
itself against fear and hate and un-
rest and all the foes that would de-
stroy it. I saw the poor wretch
straighten up and fling off his handi
cap, for | saw that he was not his
body.
Victory is on the inside. It is a
spiritual glory. 1t is not merely
what you win over things, it is what
you win over self.
