French Pot Roast.

For the Sunday dinner, in place
of rib roast. try a pot roast, using
for this the flank of beef or round
steak cut quite thick. Roll the meat
roend and round and tie it in place
with a piec of cotton cloth in order
to keep it in shape for slicing. Fry
three or four onions in a little bacon
fat in the bottom of the iron pot in
which you are going to cook the
roast. When they are tender, but
not at all burned, place in the meat
and let it brown well, turning so
that it will be Drowned all over.
Have ready three more onions sliced
ane, bunch of carrots scraped and
sliced, turnip sliced and peeled, a
little chopped parsley and a cup of
tomato sauce.
When the meat has Drowned on
both sides put in the vegetables and
cover with hot water, not allowing it
to come above the level of the
meat. When it begins to simmer.
season with salt and pepper and
cook slowly for two hours, turning
the meat once. Take up the meat
on the platter and put 1t in the oven
to keep warm, then with a skinner
remove the vegetables, arranging
them in a wreath around the meat.
Thicken the gravy remaining, adding
cup of tomato sauce, and pour it
over the meat, or serve it in a gravy
boat If preferred.

AS Warm Weather Comes.

Now is the time to look over your
food supplies and to use up certain
things that do not keep we'll over
summer. If you have prunes or
other dried fruit they should be used
at once-that is. Of course, If the
far has not brought harm to them.
Certain cereals should not be car
ried through warm weather, chief
among which Is corn meal. Many
people do not use corn meal at all
in summer because of it's tendency
to become spoiled. Moreover. corn
meal dishes are rather heavy and
are usually regarded as more suita-
BILE for cool days Of winter. autumn
and early spring than for warm
weather.
Canned foods Of all sorts should
be used up before warm weather
comes. To be sure many sorts Of
canned goods keep well enough for
more than one season. but it is al
ways safer to use them within the
twelve months from the time that
they are put up. Pickles and any
thing highly spiced or preserved in
keeps better than various sorts Of
fruit put away in sugar solution.
Vegetables canned merely through
sterilization should be used up be-
fore extremely warm weather comes.
Summer is time when it is pretty
wise to lead a sort of hand-to-mouth
existence.
If you are troubled with ants. re-
member that they are partial to
these things should be kept in tin
or glass box that covers closely and
then on a high shelf that would be
difficult Of approach to the ants.

Orange Marmalade.

There is nothing more healthful to

in preserved form. Orange marmalade
is particularly beneficial and there
are many housekeepers who make an

of it's tart. bitter flavor, it acts as

SPRING COATS FOR SMALL BOYS.
BY ANNE RTTTENHOUSE.
Small boys should feel quite proud

Small boys should feel quite proud
of themselves this spring. They are
permitted to appear in topcoats that
were worn by gentlemen thieves, as
Well as gentlemen. in the days when
dueling was common occurrence.
If small boy was informed by
his mother that he could wear the
staggering coat of a figh-bor lord
in century given to fanciful dress,
he would not be excited or over
pleased; but tell him that the coat he
may wear on the street. on a bright
April morning was copied from those
that made highway robbers look like
gentlemen, he would be pleased to
the core of his soul.
Nothing so thrills the young male
as the emulation of those who kill,
rob and burn. The component parts
of a dime novel are ensconced in the
imagination Of every boy who rises
from the cradle.
He would infinitely prefer to look
like thief than a saint He would
rather have the dirk of pirate than
an aureole. He would rather be Nor
gan. the pirate, than Peter Pan, the
first flyer.
Therefore, counting up these things
as fact. a mother is quite sure of
producing ecstatic joy in the young
ster's heart if she gives him a swag-
swinging cape.
If he were permitted to carry a
knife in his belt and pistol in his
pocket, he would think that heaven
had arrived on earth.
Those of the older generation no
longer smile with amusement at the
tales of highway robbery and sudden
death. The eighteenth century has
begun again in the twentieth century.
and the world has begun to accept
the startling fact that lawlessness is
as rampant today as it was when the
Lyons Mail was robbed by gentle
men who wore maroon-colored coats
fastened with silver buttons.
1t is not necessary, therefore, to ter
rify the small boy with bold tales of
other days. His mother need only
read to him the newspaper columns
day by day. Dirks and pistols are
flashing and pirates and murderers
are at every corner in the broad sun
light of our policed cities.
Is it this lawless likeness between
the eighteenth and twentieth CEN
turies that has touched the magma
ton of the dress designers and sug
gested to them the inauguration of
highwaymen's coats? Possibly 1t is
always we'll to credit the designers
with study and imagination. They
must have both or they fail of in
f1uence in the world.

Training the Will.

Though we may believe, as most of
US do, that the only discipline in the
world which is worth anything is
self discipline. yet the problem of
how to achieve that for a child is far
greater than the old problem Of just
getting obedience, from him.
One Of the fundamental child in
stincts, one Of tae little bundle that
comes into the world with the baby.
Is that Of self-assertion, the desire to
have his own way. but also the desire
to be approved Of. Self-wiiled chill
dren are strong children potentially
and their self-assertion should not be
knocked out Of them.
The very idea of right action i'm
plies a choice, and 1t is in the choice
of action that self-discipline grows.

give the child a choice; let him train
courses to follow; give him time.

To Save Mending.

A thrift-loving Englishwoman who
makes her meager living going about
among circle of friends doing mend
ing and renovafing. darning and
patching has some suggestions to
make that would reduce the work of
mending and make your clothes last
longer
She says that it is always wise to
buy two or more pairs of stockings
alike. Nothing is so annoying as to
find one stocking in fair condition,
ard mend it nicely, only to find that
the mate has so many runs up the leg
as to make it past mending. If there
were only more stockings Of the same
sort the one good stocking might be
used until worn out.
This mending woman has bar own
opinion of electric clothes wringers,
Wringers of any sort for that matter,
though she knows as every. one
knows. that it is quite possible to use
a Wrlnger without tearing off button
II tne clothes are only folded with the
puttons on the inside and lifted
slightly as they are fed to the
wringer.
On thin material or on clothes that
are going to get hard wear the but
tons should always be backed with
piece or heavy material. 1t is worth
while to run q strip of tape behind the
buttons the whole length of the place
where there are buttons She finds
that II she gives this attention to new
underclothes there is little work later
on In the way of sewing on buttons.
Another thing that she finds worth
While is to go over any new garment
when 1t comes into the house. No
matter how expensive it is. there may
oe little places where the threads
have not been properly tied, places
where the machine has run off the
line. loose hooks and eyes. buttons or
fasteners. If you attend to all these
matters to begin with. you will not

Real Lace Quickly Made.

Trace a design on the material to
be used and underneath it lightly
tack some Brussels net. Under the
net place a piece Of heavy cotton
cloth. Pad the design where it will
be most effective with a coarse mer-
cerized thread. using a much finer
number for the actual embroidery.
When padding the stitches must al
ways be the reverse of the way the
embroidery is to be worked, and the
embroidery itself must be worked in
satin stitch, always being careful to
take up the net foundation. When
the design is finished take a sharp
pair of scissors and cut away the
muslin all around the pattern. being
careful not to clip the net. The net
must, Of course, be cut away from
any part of the material not covered
by the design. When finished the
work looks like exquisite lace.

SUGGEST CONWAY
 START BALL CLUB

A letter was received this morning by local fans asking that a represen- tative be sent to Russellville on May 16, where meeting of representa- tives from Clarksville, Atkins, Mor- rilton and Russellville will meet to arrange for inter-town baseball this summer. The meeting will be held in the offices of Brown Rogers.
 According to the tentative plan out lined in the letter, each town will be represented only by players who live in the town. Just what action will be taken by Conway fans in regard to the matter is not known. It is thought now, however, that some effort will be made to interest sufficient num- Der in the proposition to warrant a ball team for the town during the summer season.
