BROTHERING
THE GIRL
BY w. A. McKeever-l

A LARGE civic organization of
~ men has decided to under
- take to do girl work in a
manner somewhat like the boy
service performed by the Rota-
rians.
The effort is divided among four
committees:
Home-finding. Within any given
district of the large city there are
always not a few young girls
who are either homeless of with
out an adequate home life and
should be placed where conditions
are more favorable for their we'll
being.
School placing. Another COM
mittee will serve to redirect into
the school young girls who have
dropped out for any remediable
reason. II has been found by a
wide canvass that large numbers
of girls leave school during early
adolescence for trivial ca1ses.
These will be dealt with by the
case method and every available
resource will be used to get them
back into the schoolroom.
Church fostering. A third COM
mittee will assume the duty of en-
couraging parents to foster the
church attendance habit in the lives
of their growing girls, recognizing
that religion is a powerful agency
for good and happiness in young
career as well as a deterrent OF
wrong. In every instance the COM
mittee will act in n non-sectarian
manner and will seek merely to have
the child attached to the church
which the parents or guardian-or
the older child herself-may select.
Moral safeguarding. A fourth
committee will have an eye out for
the young girl whose life is threat
ened by immoral influences and will
seek methodically to throw around
her the needed saving influences.

When making a crust for pies
with a soft filling, have the pastry
thicker than usual; also use less
shortening. This will make the
pastry hold to the pan better and
prevent 1t becoming soggy. Brush
ing over the under crust with the
white of an egg gives the same re-
suit. Strain all soft filings that are

When filling with a custard mixture,
pour in the liquid to the top of the
crust, and after the filling has start
ed to shrink fill up with small Gus
tard dipper until 1t will not hold
another drop.
When carving the cutting must
be clean and sharp, not jagged.
Always cut across the grain of the
