Practical Aid to Industry.

Ten years ago no industry existed
that VAS capable OF placing American
grown varieties of European grapes
upon the market for Christmas trade,
say marketing experts of the United
states department OF agriculture.
Then the department devised meth
cd Of packing the grapes in redwood
SawduSt In vcnccrcd drums, and of
handling the product under rcfrigcra-
ton in transit and in storage from the
time OF harvesting until the period Of
the holiday markets. Today the in
dustry ships more than 500 carloads
OF grapes annually. a few years ago
the supply Of redwood was threatened.
Once more the department Of agricul-
turc aided. 1t experimental with va
rlous kinds OF wood and demonstrated
that spruce could be satisfactorily
used. The supply Of spruce is prac-
tically ineXhaustble.

His Marrow Escape.

Clarence and his nurse were prone
nnding along the veranda Mt the sum
mer resort hotel A woman stopped
them to speak to the pretty child, and,
on hearing how he had accidentally
rolled down the hotel steps, was pro-
fuse In sympathetic eXclamations. 20,
dear! 0, what narrow escape!" etc.
Clarence enjoyed her admlrlng SYM
pathy so much that he added another
flight Of steps to the tumble when he
related the episode to the next woman.
BY the time he reached the end OF the
veranda he had improved his story by
rolling from the top floor OF the hotel
clear down to the steps outside the
vernndn, finishing off with:

SPOON IN FAVOR WITH TURKS
Subjects Of tho Sultan tiavo Little Use
for the Fork rs q Table
Utcnsl.

According to figures compiled by the
American Cutlery bureau OF inlorma-
tion. The average yearly requirements
OF ConStantinoplc before ihe war in
the way OF cutlery were 10000 dozens
Of ,nhlc knives, 10000 dozens Of
spoons. 10000 dozens Of forks, 10000
,d0zcns Of scissors, 25O0O doZeuS OF
rahorS of all kinds ana 5000 dozens Of
hair clippers.
AS Will be seen, much more spoons
arc sold than forks, which is contrary
to the experience In other countries
where, MS rule, more forks are re-
quircd than spoons. This is explained
By the fact that ConStantinople sup
plies great quantities OF cutlery to
ASiu Minor and other outlying regions
of the former Turkish empire, where
table manners still have not boon de-
veloped up to the standard of Paris.
The Arab is fond Of the spoon, be.
cause II is handy in eating his cereals,
but lie prefers to deal With chops by
way Of the fingers, which is a more
simple procedure than piercing ones
eye With fork.
SO 1t is the spoon that stands on the
top of the list of the cutlery orders
coming from Turkey to Uncle Sam
1t is conceded in all foreign countries
today that American table cutlery
holds the center of the stage in point
Of quality.

couldn't trap him! No. sir, I just
 couldn't. He's afraid of me, but he
 doesn't need be any longer. I'm the
 best friend he's got if he only knew
 1t. That was a mean thing I did this afternoon when I tore a hole in his
 dam to let the water out of his pond. I'm ashamed of myself. and yet
 well. I'm kind of glad I did it, too.
 You see. I wouldn't have known how
 smart he is if I hadn't. I guess he
 was some worried when he found the
 water growing lower and lower in
 his pond, and I m afraid he's worry ing some now for fear Pll do it again. IT ought to make it up to him somehow. I'll just haveto think how I can"
 Farmer Browns boy was quite right about Paddy. He was worry ing. It was bad enough to know that Old Man Coyote was prowling around and that he would have to always be on the watch to keep from being caught and eaten up. But Paddy had a great deal of faith in his eyes and ears and nose to warn him of danger. That was what they had been given him for by Old Mother Nature. If I'm not as smart as Old Man Coyote then I deserve to be caught thought he. But to have Farmer Browns boy making trouble for him was another matter. Yes, indeed, that was quite another mat l ter! It certainly did worry him. He I had made his pond very deep in the Green Forest because he bad thought | that no one but the little people who live there, and of whom he had no fear, would find it. It was too late I for him to go somewhere else and | build a new dam and make a new | pond because Jack Frost would be | along most any day now. There was nothing to do but spend the winter l right there and watch out sharper | than ever. He sighed long and deep.

Sammy Jay followed Farmer Browns boy all the way through the Green Forest scolding and say ing impudent things to him. But he was wasting his breath. Farmer Browns boy didn't pay any attention to him. He just didn't notice him at all. Of course, this made Sammy angrier than ever. but try as he would he couldn't make Farmer Browns boy even look at him.
 You see. Farmer Browns boy was thinking very hard He was thinking about that splendid pond and that splendid dam and that splendid house and that splendid canal back there

DOES YOUR CAKE FALLf

Perhaps You're Not Mixing It Right
 The words stirring, beating, cutting and folding so often used in the di- rections for cake baking have very definite and distinct meanings.
 To stir is to mix ingredients. One stirs for the purpose of blending the materials.
 To beat is to turn the ingredients over and over for the purpose of in- troducing a large amount of air into the mixture.
 To fold and cut is to actually cut one ingredient or mixture into an- other with a knife or spoon held in a vertical position and to lift and fold one ingredient into mixture in such way that air already beaten into the mixture is prevented from escap- ing.
 Very often the success or failure of cake may be traced directly to the method employed in mixing.
 Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast: Uncooked cereal. tor milk, buttered toast, orange marma- Jade, coffee.
 Luncheon: Corned beef hash

 Hundreds of travellers visit Brook wood But the one or two nurses and the few soldiers in the other little cemetery sleep in silence.
 Nor is it wholly British, this cene- tery, for it is upon the land of an American-Lady Nancy Astor, for merly of Virginia. During the war the estate was turned into a hospi- tai. Those who died there were laid away nearby. Later the burial spot was beautified.
