EFFICIENT
HOUSEKEEPING
PUMPKIN PIEfOR CHRISTMAS.
ny Laura A. klrkman

ANY woman. though she he the mos
inexperienced housckeepcr, can bake
good pumpkin pic for her Christmas
dinner 10y following these directions:
Buy n small pumpkin-onc that is
little smaller than q football \
pumpkin of this size will weigh about
two pounds and cost around % cents.
II should make two pies.
Cut your two-pound pumpkin in half,
then in quarters. Scoop out the seeds
and membranes tthcSe. OF course, are
not usedl, then pare off the yellow out
side rind Gut the pumpkin-quarters
into small pieces, cover them with boil
ing water and let them simmer till
very tender about two hours. Drain
off the water and mash the pumpkin as
YOU would mash potatoes. Then meas
ure il BY cupfuls. There should be
two and onc-half cups OF the pulp.
Put the two and one-half cups OF
mashed pumpkin into a large bowl and
mix into II two eggs; two tablespoons
of -four, four tablespoons of molasses
one cup OF graduated sugar, two. cup
of sweet milk and two thirds Of
teaspoon Of ground ginger. Your PIE
nlllng Il now ready.
The next step Is to make two under
crusts. rs follows: Put in a mixing bowl
one and one-half cups OF -four and
work into this. with the'fngers, one
half cup of lard Add 20 II one level
teaspoon of salt and stir IN two-thirds
OF n cup OF cold water, This makes a
stiff paste. which must now be turned
out onto Toured bread board and rolled
10 about one-fourth inch in thickness.
Put one-half cup % butter over this
sheet of pastry, breaking the butter
into small pieces with the fingers (thc
ter pieces will bc very close together on
the dough-: siit one-half cup Of flour
over the but,cred dough, then fold the
dough IN from both ends until 1t makes
"A long roll. Double this roll IN the
middle SO as 10 form a square of the
dough. Then with sharp knife, cut
the square in half. One half OF 1t makes
"A single undercruSt, when rolled as
nearly circular a. possible and large
enough to cover one pie pan generously.
When YOU have lined two pie pans
with your dough, till them with the
prepared pumpkin filling Sprinkle
the top OF both pies with little ground
cinnamon.
The pies are now ready to bake. BE
sure YOU have rs hot an oven rs YOU
can possibly get If YOU use an oven
thermometer, do not put the pics in
TO the oven till the thermometer regis
tcrs $50 degrees Fahrenheit. Watch
the clock. and after the pies havebeen
ia this hot oven for five To- ten minutes,
decrease the oven heat SO that it is q
medium oven
Pumpkin pies, like all other pies that
contain egg, must 60 into "A very hot
oven at the start Ito set the crust), but
after "A few moments they require only
a moderately hot oven in order that the
filling does not boil. An egg filling be-
comes watcry ii allowed to simmer in
the pie. In all the pic should bak,
10 TO 80 minutes.

Said q woman the other day:
We women are always being told
that We must adapt ourselves TO our hus-
bands peculiaritics, that we must keep
our worries TO ourselves, and make

our husbands come home IN the evening,
we must be all dolled up and meet them
with a glad, sweet smile

this, and especially when be has added
few frills IN the way OF French millinery
and an automobile. he feels that he has
done everything that any REASONABLE,
woman could ask, and he pats himself
on the back, congratulating himself OF
being such a good husband.
Yet if he had a wife who interpreted
her marriag vows as he does his, h'

SELF DEFENSE IS
 P[EAO OF GAGL|ECO
Jury Visits Scene of Double Murder-Testimony Is
 Concluded

Testimony in tho case of Emanuel Gaglieco. being tried before Judge II. P. Heflin in criminal court on q charge of staying Anna Torres and Roberto Ramires. was completed yes terday and the jury was permitted to go out and look over the scene Of the shooting. It then recessed for the night and the arguments of the at- torneys will begin this morning.
 Self defense was the plea entered by Gaglieco whom he took the stand yesterday in his own behalf. He told of alleged threats made against him by Ramires and other Mexicans be- cause he was entering the hot tamale business in competition with them. Jealousy over the Torres woman in tensified the rivalry. tho testimony indicated.
 The killing of Eamires is alleged to have taken place just after Anna Torres had left Gaglieco and had gone with Caesar Rubio to 1881 Ave-. nue B. where the shooting of Ramires took place. The woman was shot just previously. Rubio testified that Gaglieco attempted to shoot him but that the pistol snapped.
 Besides the interpreter used yes- terday, another one was called into court yesterday. Gaglieco is a Span ,iard and the dead couple were Mex jeans.
