is the other recipe you wish: Lemon

this mixture into a pie pan which

the pan into moderate oven for

shirt How can l get the stain out? ?
Answer.-If the stain is from tea,
soaking the spotted part in glycerin
will aid in it's removal; simply wash
the garment in soapy water after
ward. But If the stains come from
coffee, they should be sprinkIed with
borax, then immersed in cold water
and washed out. Obstinate coffee
stains, however, as well as very OBJ
stinate tea stains. require an applica-
ton of javelle water (bought at any
drug store), followed by rinsing in
weak ammonia water Ito neutralize
the acid) and then in clear water.

like that one AS you go up the
great stairway after going through
the entrance you see Napoleon done
in marble. He was little bit of a
man and they have just marked the
hundredth' anniversary of his death.
You know he was called by some the
Little Corporal. and after looking at
the marble you will see why. Some
way 1 always pictured famous men
as great big men, but that Ms not
right for some of the most famous
men have been small ones except in
their brains. One of the best pictures
of all is Lost Dogs" You see the
dogs in the woods, which are all coy
cred with snow and you want to go
right up and take them home with
you. One good picture is where the
little boy has bounced into the room
and scared his baby sister. and from
the look on the mother he is going to
catch it in about minute.
The gallery is the gift of William
W. Corcoran, who founded it in 1869.
At one time he had many of these
paintings in the old home at H street
and Connecticut avenue. which is on
Lafayette Park. Tuesdays, Thurs
days Saturdays and Sundays as well
as holidays no admission is charged
Now remember what l said about the
lions, and be sure and visit the gal
lery. -

So Peter sat down near the old log

WHO is it?" demanded Sammy,
looking very much interested.
That's telling" retorted Peter. 81
won't tell anybody else about it."
I'll promise that" replied Sammy
promptly. He was growing more
and more curious.
And you will help if you can?''
asked Peter.
Sammy thought it over for a few
minutes. Finally he agreed that he
would help if he could. Then Peter
told him all about the poor young
Heron caught by one foot in a cruel
steel trap. Il don't think he has much
chance" said he. IF Farmer Browns
boy should find him it would be all
right. The thing is to get Farmer
Browns boy to find him before Reddy
Fox or Old Man Coyote finds him.
You are the only one 1 can think of
who can get Farmer Browns boy over
there unless it is your cousin. Blacky
the Crow. and somehow I would
rather trust you"
Thank you again." replied Sammy
Jay gravely. thought there was a

by keeping watch until you see
Farmer Browns boys somewhere about

might. He'll be sure to come over to
see what you have found. You know
he always does"
Sammy nodded. But supposing,'
said he. that Farmer Browns boy
doesn't come where he can hear me?'
Then there is nothing you can do
or any one else for that matter" re-
piled Peter, looking very anxious. -
All right replied Sammy I'm
off to see that young Heron and then
to watch for Farmer Browns boy
And. as silently as he had come

Ice Cream Freezing.

The ordinary ice cream freezer con-
sists of a wooden tub in which is
fitted non-rusting can to contain the
mixture to be frozen. A dasher with
wooden paddles is SO arranged that it
can be turned inside this can by a
crank handle either on top of the
can or at the side of the wooden tub.
BY the turning of the dasher the mix
ture in the can is continually ex-
posed throughout to the cold sur
face. making the freezing even and
smooth and preventing crystalliza-
ton. The freezing is caused by the
interaction Of ice and salt packed in
the wooden tub around the can. The
salt melts the ice, which, in melting.
freezes the y cream. Therefore the
cream can not begin to freeze until
the ice begins to melt, but after the
ice is melted freezing stops. Salt

The Old Gardener Says:

This is an excellent time to
start a new strawberry bed Il
the work has not been done be-
fore. You can buy potted plants
if you like, but the quicker you
get them into the ground the
better. The potted plants are
excellent. but If you already
have a bed that has been bear
ing. all you need do is cut of
rooted runners and transplant
them. Sometimes these runners
root in four or five places. in
which case the new plants at
the end of the runners are prob
ably the best, although any of
the plants can be used. Be
careful to set them into the
ground so that the crowns will
be just level with the surface.
Beginners often set them too
deep or else not deep enough.

WIDOW DISAPPEARS
AT N. Y. TRAIN TIME
Mrs. Burr, Owner Of Realty at
Danbury, Conn.,, Not Seen
Since April 81.
POLICE ALARM SENT OUT
Romance Is Not Considered by
Her Relatives-Carried
Extra Clothing.

Mrs Florence w. Burr widow of a
Danbury, Conn. real estate operator
who left her much property. has gone on
a journey which has baffied her rela-
tives and the police to explain. The
night Of April 20. without the knowledge
of other members OF the family, she
packed some clothing In wicker suit
case and stole out of the house at 25
Lake avenue Danbury. No one heard
her go. but in the morning her bed was
found empty and her belongings miss
ing. A man has been found who be-
Railroad station about the time a train
left Danbury for New York on the morn
ing of April 81, but that is the only
clue that has been turned up.
For several days after her disappear
ance Mrs. Burr's relatives made a quiet
search, believing she would return of
her own accord or send word to explain
her absence. They gave 1t up last night,
and asked that general alarm be sent
out through the metropolitan district.
Mrs. Burr was So years old, and since
the death of her husband several years
ago had managed his estate successfully.
She owned the house in which she lived,
a large farm In Ridgebury. and several
residences in Danbury.
AS Mrs. Burr walks with a pro-
nounced limp. 1t was believed that she
would not be able to escape detection
for an extended period IL she had de-
cided to go into seclueion. The possi-
bility of romance has not been consid-
cred. Mrs Burr lived very quietly and
rarely went away from home. That she
may have wandered off in a period of
illness seemed to be the logical explana-
tion. but even In that event 1t was be-
lieved some report would have been had
of her before now.

pleaded for Americas support in the
stand of France against any reduction
in reparations. THE enemy has signed
a treaty" he declared. I'VE want that
treaty observed. We need 1t and shall
have it"
The greatest hope of stricken world
lies in the sturdy. hard working,

Coolidge said. He eulogized Andrew

of him as man who represented
American IDEALS
1.-The whole nation" asserted Mr..
Coolidge, "the whole world. following
out his plan can advance the cause of
civilization. Under it the conditions of
life have steadily grown better. there
has been a wider and wider distribution
OF property, a higher and higher stand
ard of education, a deeper and deeper
appreciation of the obligation of self
sacrificing example"
Great as were Mr.. Carnegie's benefac-
tions in the development of the material
and intellectual welfare of his fellow
men, the Vice-President continued. his
greatest accomplishment lies in the ad-
dtion he made to their moral force.
'The question of human welfare" he
added. rs not an economic question.
1t Is a moral question. There is no
difficulty with the present advance of
scientific knowledge in providing for
the welfare of the race. The ability is
not lacking even IL no further advance
were made in discovery and invention.
The material and intellectual forces are
sufficient. They could be much greater
must be made much greater-but the
present deficiency is not there. 1t Is
the disposition, the moral force, that is
lacking. Men are not doing as we'll as
they can with what they have. Our
civilization perlshes unless the great
powers II has developed are directed by
a greater moral force
The philanthropist. declared Mr.. Cool
dge, put his trust not in force but in
reason. and II was this faculty (which
gave him a vision OF world peace" and
"the power to believe under some form
in its ultimate accomplishments" The
Vice-President said there are those who
would discard Mr.. Carnegie's plan of
service to mankind and Substitute they
know not what"
