NV Neighbor Says:

Save the crusts of bread and
crumbs from cake. bread or
crackers. dry them and roll fine.
They are very handy to use
when making cake. cookies or
pudding. as one cupful OF
crumbs will take the place Of
one cupful Of -four. The result
is always good.
Grapefruit should be cut In
halves. the pulp loosened from
the skin and the pith cut. Chill
it and serve plain or with sugar
or sale. Serve one-half grape
fruit to each person.
To take the color entirely out
of a cotton dress after 1t has
become somewhat faded, boil
the dress In cream of tartar
water. A perfectly white dress
results.
Wolfe requires careful launder-
ing. Never rub soap directly
on the goods because this will
thicken the threads. This ma
terial should be soaked in soap
suds. washed in warm suds and
rinsed twice-first in lukewafm
water, then in cold water. 1t
should not be put through a
wringer. but squeezed through
the hands. 4 very cool iron
will serve for pressing.
If you want hot biscuits in
a hurry. mix them little thin
ner than usual, and drop them
from a spoon. This saves roll
ing and cutting and they are
just as palatable.

Tunic Blouses and Tunic Frocks

which are the two and which are
the eight that will shrivel up and be
discarded. But Of the fashions al

many that will surely survive-and
for the women who must buy now
for Autumn and Winter the best thing
to do is to take one of the smartest

The tunic idea is not new-yet at
the recent openings in Paris the tuntc

The close fitting tunic that Is split
at the front and worn over a straight
tight foundation will surely remain
in good style for many months to
come.
The sketch shows split tunic
of red worn over a black satin slip,
which makes a striking costume but
one that is sure to look as we'll four

HOW TT STARTED
A "Die Hard"
By JEAN NEWTON.

This term, commonly accepted as
bit of slang and popularly used to
describe one who perseveres and per-
sists In 4 chosen course, or who is
stubborn and hard to convince. boasts
historic origin.
The original Die Hards'' were q
famous English regiment. the Fifty
seventh Foot. SO called, from tho
command of their colonel which has
come down in history. when the regi-
ment was surrounded and over
whelmed at Albuera: Die hard,
Fifty-seventh,"
They did die hard. and their name
survived long as title 10 signify
bravery and valor More recently
in popular speech it has become use
full to describe people who apply to
attaining a desired end or maintain
ing an opinion the same determlna-
ton and persistence with which the
original Die HardS' held their

Old Mother Nature.

Peter Rabbit sat in a bramble-tan-
gle close to bend in the old path in
the Old Pasture and watched Buzztail

the middle Of the old path. Very
thoughtful was Peter Rabbit. at

to conclusions. Because Reddy Fox.
than whom there is no one / fear
more. was afraid of Old Man Coyote
and therefore was polite to him. 1
thought that Old Man Coyote was
master of the Old Pasture. Then Old
Man Coyote by his very politeness
proved his fear Of Buster Bear, and
thought Buster Bear was master
OF the Old Pasture. But Buster Bear
politely stepped aside for Jimmy
Skunk and then Jimmy Skunk politely
walked around Buzztail the Rattlesnake.
Not once had / thought of Buzztail.
But now I guess there is no doubt that
Buzztail Is really the master of the
Old Pasture"
For a long time Peter continued to
sit there thinking and out in front Of
him Buzztail tho Rattlesnake contin-
ued to take his sun bath in the mid
die Of the old COW path. But at last
Peter heard a noise up the old Cow
path. Some one was coming. Eager
ly he looked to see who it was. Who
do you think 1t was? It was Farmer
Browns Boy. Yes, sir. 1t was Farmer
Browns Boy. He had a big, shiny
pail in each hand. He had come to
the Old Pasture for his share Of
those delicious berries.
Peter turned to look at Buzztail.
Buzztail had coiled and his head was
raised az he stared straight ahead OF
one was coming. "Oh" thought
Peter, Il wonder what will happen
now! do hope Buzztai will warn
Farmer Browns Boy in time"
Buzztail did. He always does give
warning If he has a chance. Farmer
Browns Boy stopped short. Hello"
he exclaimed aloud. There must be
a Rattlesnake in the path just ahead"
He put his pals down on the
ground. Then he looked around for
a stick. At last he found one to suit
him. Very carefully and watchfully
he started around the bend in the
old COW path. He saw BuzZtai1 the
Rattlesnake coiled in the middle of
the path. He was shaking his rattle
as hard as he could. Farmer Browns
Boy stopped.
BuzztaiI remained coiled only long
enough to see who it was standing in
the old COW path. With surprising
quickness he uncoiled and glided
straight into the very bramble-tan-
gle in which Peter Rabbit was sit
ting. You should have seen Peter
Rabbit leave that BRAN BILE tangle. He
didn't wait TO see what Farmer
Browns Boy would do. No, stree. he
didn't wait. He got out Of that
bramble-tangle as fast as his legs
could take him.
Farmer Browns Boy did nothing.
He simply stood still. He couldn't
get At Buzztail in that brambie-tan-
gle and he knew it. At last he spoke.
He has a way of talking to himself
when he is alone. "Buzztail left in
hurry" said he. I've always said
that a RattleSnake is an honest
snake. He isn't looking for trouble.

Intermarriage.

An interesting and enlightening
study Of the effects OF intermarriage
or inbreeding through four genera
tions has been reported by DR.. Doug
las P. Murphy, Of Rutherford. n. c.
1t is commonly believed that the
marriage Of first cousins results in
mental deficiency. physical abnormal
ty or weak vitality in the offspring,
although medical authorities and
the only injury from such inbreeding
is due to the inheritance received
and is not attributable to consan-
guinity-that Is. any defect In the
offspring is Independent Of the mix
ing Of bloods, though II there Is some
family taint Of heritable nature Of
course the chances Of Inheritance are
doubled by q marriage Of 0fst causins.
Dr.. Murphy has traced the history
Of . family from the nrst known an
cestors who eame to Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania, leaving "a children.
One Of the children migrated to North
Carolina. and his descendants have
lived there ever since. All members
that lived to adult ago married and
have many children. Nearly all had
little education, averaging a few
months Of school during three or four
winters. They have remained farm
eEs mostly, their social and economic
condition remaining about the same
throughout the four generations.
In this family there were seven
cases Of marriage Of first cousins.
The second couple were double first
cousins.
There is no record Of any physical
abnofmality in tho family history.
There was one case Of slightly i'm
paired mentality in the third genera
tion, but that was not attributable to
consanEuinity, for the following gen.
erations were normal.
One observation DR. Murphy makes
is that the death rate in this family
is considerably higher than the death
rate in the other families in the same
community, which he believes is sug-
gestive Of impaired vitality.
Another observation Is that the in
fant death ratio is higher than the
average for the community.
The death rate is considerably
higher. DR.. Murphy points out, when
tho inbreeding is most marked.
From this remarkable study DR..
Murphy concludes that intermarriage
is a cause Of decided increase in in
fant mortality, but that the marriage
Of cousins does not lead to mental or
physical defect in the offspring
