Cook the less tender chickens In the
fireless cooker, suggests the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
Is best to disjoint the chicken when 1t
is to be prepared in this way. Pin
feathers, the oil sac and surplus fat
should be removed and the fine hairs
singed. After being well washed the
parts may be put immediately into boil
ing water sufficient to cover them and
seasoned to taste.
The chicken should be simmered
half an hour and then put into the
fireless cooker, where it should remain
at least two hours and as much longer
as is necessary to cook it tender. 1t
should not be left ia the cooker long
enough to cool, eten to the lukewarm
stage, for at such temperatures bac-

BY way Of Being conciIiatory.

Mr.. and Mrs. Tarker, although really
fond Of each other, had frequent quar-
rels, owing. no doubt, to infrmities OF
temper on the part of both. Mr.. Tark-
err was telling his troubles to his ED
erly maiden aunt.
"Now try to he as good a husband
to Clarissa as know how to be-" he
said. but we don't Seem to get along
1t takes SO little to irritate her, and
when she starts to scolding, she never
knows when to stop. She takes of

"Then don't say those little things,
Henry" said his aunt. "When she is

MOVE CAR BY WHEEL SPOKES
Many Owners Make Mistake by Grab
bling Door Handle or Windshield
ia Pushing Machine.

How do you push your car when
you want to move it around the ga
rage? Do you grab door handle. or
the windshield, or the steering wheel?
Or do you use little judgment?
There is one way to rick up cat
correctly as against half-dozen ways
of killing it, It's the same with a car.
Some car owners grab the tenders and
manage to mark them up in excellent
shape. Some of them tackle it all from
the tire carrier and manage to make it
looser than ever. Others strain the
doors. Those who push find it's rather
hard work, while those who pull on
the bumper find new ways of getting
back strain.
The right way and the easiest way,
is to grasp the spokes of the wheels.
When you put the cat out tonight note
the way you take it by the nape Of
the neck. No other way would do.
Then ask yourself why you don't ex-
ercise the same sort of care with your
car.

CREDIT TO SPIDER
Insect Said to Have Had First
Idea of Diving Bell.
IL Not Actual Inventor, II Is PRETTY
Sure He Was the Earliest User
of the Device.

It is claimed that the diving bell
was invented by spider. AT least
we are certain that if it was not ac-
tually invented by him it was used by
him long before the hydraulic engi-
neers made one for the same purposes
The diving bell is cup-shaped body
with an open end down, which is let
into the water. The air is caught in
the bell and keeps the water from
rising beyond certain level from any
specified depth and, of course, allow
ing anyone inside to breathe and act
as if he were on dry land.
The improvement of the diving bell,
known as the caisson, is huge pipe
that has compartments. into which air
is pumped from above. The spiders
bell is filed more in this manner than
in the other.
The name given to these little spid-
ers is appropriate-the naiads of the
family of arachnida A naiad will
build little house Of waterproof silk,
held fast by strands fixed to the neigh
boring blades of grass and stones sew
eral feet under the water He COM
pletes the entire structure before
filing IL. with air-as if he knew that
the air would tend to make it rise to
the top and thus hinder the attaching
of the anchors.
The naiad swims down from the sur
face with bubbles of air and turns
them loose in the airy structure. The
process is repeated several times I'M
ill the little house is full of air. OF
course, the open end of this house is
down, and this has to act also as the
entrance to it.
Another peculiar thing about the
naiads is that they never get wet. They
have thousands of small hairs on their
bodies which hold and keep the air
from being washed off when they en-
ter water. and SO the air sticks and
water cannot approach.
The water beetle is probably the
only other insect engineer in the
naiad's class. 1t builds waterproof
nest under water, but does not live in
1t. 1t merely lays Its eggs in the nest,
seals 1t up and leaves.
The mason bee, as its name implles,
Is builder of structures of stone end
mortar The nest is attached to al
most any solid structure, and actually
does consist of small stones cemented
together with mortar The house con-
sists of many cells of oval shape, and
into each an egg is laid. The cell is
lined with silken webs by the mother,
who gets out of it by hole in its
top. Before leaving, however, she her.
metically seals up the cell.

SUBSTANTIAL GARAGE
IS FARM NECESSITY
Structure Should Be Simple in
Design and Built Of Good
Fireproof Materials.

The amount of money invested In
the average farm automobile or truck
justifies substantial garage that will
furnish adequate protection against
weather, theft and fire. A garage
should be built of substantial f1reproof
materials of which concrete block Is
probably the most convenient for use
ia rural regions.
Such a garage Is shown in the ac-
companying photograph. 1t is II feet
wide and is feet long, large enough
for almost any car or truck.
The garage, since it is small struc-
ture, should be simple in design. The
walls are built up Of block on COM
paratively shallow foundation, also Of
block. A concrete floor is q decided
advantage; it should be made SO as
to slope toward the center where
trapped drain is installed.
If the blocks are made with an at
tractive surface finish they can be left

SERVE EGGS WITH TOMATOES
Attractive Way Is Suggested by De-
partment of Asrlculture-Eees
Cooked in Cups.

When fresh tomatoes are in season
an attractive way Of serving eggs Is
to cook them in tomato cups, suggests
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Select the desired number of good
sized tomatoes, allowing one to each
person. Cut off the blossom end,
scoop out the seeds and stand the To-
matoes in a baking pan In the oven
until they are partly cooked Put
one-half teaspoonful of butter and a
busting of salt and pepper into the
bottom of each and break IN one egg.
Place in the oven until the eggs are
''set" to the desired hardness. Have
ready round of toasted bread we'll
buttered, and place each tomato in the
center of round of toast, serve hot.
