Trade Union Permanency
BY JOHN P. FREY

The trade union movement is a permanent or
safzatlon; members die, officers are replaced by
0ulefS; good times follow bad ones; firms pass out
u existence, ones take their places; individual
ltilS merge into corporations and trusts, but the
uade-union movement continues to function. The

NO REASON FOR
THE 12-HOUR DAY,
SAYS ENGINEER

Costs have been cut
Production has been increased.
Plant capacity has been more fully
utilized.
Better relations between workers

These are scme of the results OF
the abolition of the l2-hour day In
continuous industries, as
seen by Ralph C. Epstein, Instructor
in Economics at Northwestern UNI
versity.
Mr.. Epstein bases his conclusions
on a study of "The Twelve-Hour

'OThere seems no good reason

tinu0us-industries should any longer

process 20 minutes in hot water bath
or cover with hot paraffin.
Plum Butter.
Wash the plums and cook till soft
with a little water. Rub the pulp
through a coarse wire sieve. For each
measure of pulp use half to three
quarters of a measure of sugar and
cook slowly, with frequent stirring. un-
til the butter is as thick as desired. If
tart butter is favored, less sugar
should he used. If the plums are very
juicy the pulp put through the colalder
may need to be boiled down and thick
ened before the sugar is measured or
added. Cinnamon, allspice and cloves
should he added to suit the taste, when
the cooking is finished. Plum butter
should be packed while hot in the same
way as other buffers or preserves.

METHOD OF CLARIFYING FAT
Melt With at Least an Equal Volume
of Water and Heat for
Short Time.

An old-fashioned method of Clarity
ing fat from the soup kettle or from
cooked meats such as bacon. ham,
chicken, beef, sausage, and other
sources Is recommended by the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Melt the fat with at least an equal
volume of water and heat for short
time at moderate temperature, stir
ing the mixture occasionally. When
cold, remove the cake of fat and
scrape off any small particles of meat
and skin that adhere.
Some fats are better favored than
others for use in pastry or cake max
ing. but all cleanly rendered fats may
be used in frying. If the flavor or
color or both are not satisfactory at
the first rendering, the process may be
repeated several times. Another meth
cd, often recommended Is to cook a
number of slices of raw potato in the
boiling fat. The addition of small
uncut onion, a few leaves of summer
savory and thyme, salt and pepper,
when rendering meat drippings, makes
a savory fat useful for gravies. Sau-
sage fat is excellent for frying meats
which have less flavor of their own. as
veal outlet or rabbit.
Fat in small quantities may be cas-
lily kept sweet in the ice box for cook
ing purposes. If lard is rendered at
home in large quantities to last a
long time it should be kept covered
in tins or earthen jars, in a cool, dry
place.

When recovering your ironing board
use two thicknesses of cotton batting,
if you haven't an old blanket to pad it.
When sending handkerchiefs to the
laundry fasten them to strip of tape
and they will always come back to-
gether. The ironing is but a few mo-
ments' work.
With a small line on the piazza for
hanging small things and baby
clothes, the doll clothespins are just
the size to hang them firmly on the

pulling out the sleeves to make them
roomy.
In cold weather when hanging out
clothes mittens are unhandy and the
fingers get numb so quickly. Try heat
ing the clothespins in the oven until
good and hot-this will keep the hands
warm and hurry the hanging process.
Sprinkle clothes with hot water and
they may be ironed within few
minutes.
Net curtains may be washed, slipped
onto rod top and bottom and hung
to dry. They will dry perfectly
straight and even. Pull the heading
