substitute roofs Of skyseraners for the
present firehouses upon the ground.
Here In the branches Of the forest Of
concrete and iron will be stored the
hre-fghting apparatus, which will be
winged where needed. He Is sure that
by that time chemists will have dis
covered a gas harmless to life but de-
structive TO fire. He also ~visualizes a

building, which win automatically act
upon an alarm OF fire and "call out the

DADDY FISH PROTECTS YOUNG
Finny Father Provided by Nature With
safety Pouch" to Which They
Can Retreat.

The majority of fish are very bad
parents, London Tit-Bits asserts. Once
their eggs are laid they leave them to
look after themselves, taking no inter-
est at all In the babies that hatch out
from them.
There are, however, fish which show
parental affection, but, c~urlously
enough, It is usually father who. SO to
speak, pushes the baby carriage, whilst
mamma has a good time.
One Of the best of the finny tribe
Is the pipe fish, a little eel like Great
ure with a long snout. He is often to
be found In weedy pools. and has de-
veloped a pouch just like that Of the
kangaroo, In which he keeps his nu-
merous family safe from all dangers

The bungalow type Of home appeals
I o many home builders, especially
those who build In cities and suburbs.
This Is because the man with small
capital does not have to invest In a
large lot to accommodate the building,
and less capital is invested In the
tome. In reality the average bunga-

the room arrangement usually Is about
the same as in an apartment, there
rarely is more than six rooms and usu-
ally five In such a home.
What probably makes the bungalow
popular Is the artistic effects that may
be gained In exterior appearance and
the convenience to the housewife of
having all the rooms on N floor so
that the homework can be done more
easily. The interior Is arranged so
that the living and dining rooms and
kitchen are In n unit and the bed.

RECIPES FROM A NEW MEMBER

Dear Social Corner Editor and Sisters: I have been a reader of the Social Corn CT since it was started, but hava never written before, although I have thought many times would do so I suppose the Social Corner sisters are more O. less busy canning. [ find it IS much esssler for me to do few Jars at time, often times getting fruit or nerriaS ready the afternoon before, and putting on the stove right after breakfast and watch ing it with my other work.
 Dearie: I hear you are going back to the farm.
 I will close with a few recipes, which have used many times:
 Goldfish Cakes: Shred one pint scodfish one and one half dozen rather Amall po- tatoes, soak in cold water for an hour or more. Boil, mash, add one tablespoon butter, two eggs we'll beaten, salt if need ed, mould into fiat balls, and fry Tn hot fat
 Corn Cakes: Two cups corn, cut very fine and scraped, one egg, one tabie- spoon flour, one teaspoon salt, little pep per, fry on hot griddle. Eat with butter.
 Apple Pudding. Three very. large ap- pies, one cup sugar, one tablespoon but ter, egg, one-half cup sweet milk 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder one and one-Quarter cups flour. Slice applies, put in buttered pudding pan, sprinkle with little sugar, taken from the cup of sugar, cream butter and rest of sugar, add one egg, milk. baking powder and -hour Pour over apples. Bake as you would cake, When partly cool turn onto plate so ap- ples- will be on top, eat with cream.
 With success to all.

 seem to bring contentment. So was irl- terested to find this formula containing the qualities essential to happiness First, unselhshness; second. self-mastery ; third, work and fourth faith. When we think of how far short we fall of perfec- tion in these respects it makes us con slider how we cah work out happiness for ourselves and others along these lines. And these qualities are equally possible to all conditions and classes of people as a very real happiness.
 I think that as a rule we in the coun- try are pitying especially just now, those in the city who have not the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables and air and quiet that we enjoy. There is such an oyer-supply of good things each sea son I always wish they could be shared and utilized. Even canning all we can use and more fails to exhaust the supply with us. It is a pleasure to feed the little folks the fresh milk and vegetables and fruit and watch them grow and en- joy the chickens. COWS, pigs, flowers and all the rest. God surely made the coun- try and man the town.
