Keep Young on Saturday

AttP 4 bttD OH cLttI UuU
DOR whetting up a faded outlook upon
l. life, allow us to recommend to YOU
the Saturday matinee at any good neigh
borhood movie house
The place will be full Of youngsters.
and you'll know it the minute you step
inside
Let man, woman or child cast one dark
look upon the beautiful heroine. and
roar of disapproyal will instantly surge
across the place
Let gallant hero gain the slightest
advantage over the difficulties which
beset his path, and the tumult Of ap-
plause viii be almost deafening.
Unrestrained giggles and chuckles will
follow every nifty, be it ever so humble.
Line like this For in those DAYS
every young person was abed by ten
thirty, will bring such storms of
laughter that they almost stop the show.
Spontaneous emotion is a fresh, stimu
lating thing. 1t defies even the grouchiest
old crouch to sit without smiling thru
an hour of it. 1t is miraculously restful
after the restraint and inhibition of daily
life.

Just about Johnnie's age. All, ha, See

TO marry her or amt he?

with a girl or not. It's harder still de-
Gliding whether YOU want to marry her.
And ii isn't any too easy to avoid falling
in love with her. If YOU decide YOU don't
want to, sometimes it may be even harder
to avoid asking her TO marry YOU On
the other hand, If you do fall in love
with her and do want to marry her, it
isn't always perfectly simple to manage
that, either

ment, young Johnnie is all palped over

Fifth Day.

THE WINDWARD PASSAGE, Janu-
ary 30-Morning finds us in the quiet
waters of the Windward Passage be-
tween Cuba and Haiti and rapidly
approaching the Caribbean Sea, that
romantic bit of ripping sapphire
where sailed the caravels of Colum-
bus, the Golden Hind of Drake and
the gallant galleons of the Dons.
During the night we lodged among
the blinking lighthouses OF the Ba-
hamas. or "Bootlegger Islands as
they are now known.
OFF our starboard about three miles
is Cape Maysi. Cuba, with the hulk
ing Sierra Maestro in blurred outline
behind. On the beach at the foot of
the lighthouse is the huge wreck of
ship with her nose almost rubbing
the tower. How a boat can run
ashore into the very rays of a light
house is a mystery which the insur-
ance company must solve. You know
they have insurance wrecks" on
water, much the same as we have
fires on land.
To the left stretches Haiti-the
"Santo Domingo" of Columbus-and
farther eastward scatter the Lesser
Antilles and the Virgins, so called by
the old navigator when he sighted
these jewel islets on his second voy-
age and, despairing of finding saints
names for all of them, called them
collectively The Virgins" in honor
of the 10000 companions of st. Ursula.
Soon, however, the Virgins became
welded to the buccaneers-those
fierce sea rovers who sailed the
Caribbean and ravaged Che Spanish
Main. They were daredevil spirits,
these villainous old corsairs-daring
and dastardly; they were as cruel as
they were courageous, and as devoid
of mercy as they were of fear. They

Santo Domingo was the birthplace
OF the buccaneers. The island Of
Tortuga. which we passed early this
morning, was the birthplace Of the
word buccaneers" The true mean
ing of the word is not worthy OF the
men who wore it. At that time on
Tortuga the principal article of food
was the smoke-dried flesh of wild
pigs-a product peculiar to the
eighboring islands and known by
the CaIib name Of ''buccan," or what
we call bacon.
AS a result the inhabitants soon
became known as "buccaneers"-iD
other words, "baconeers"
Among these islands, and not so
far away, is Porto Rico, which Is an
American possession; and a little

To remove oil spots from

water in which are sprinklcd
few drops of household am
monia. Then cover the spot
with a paste made of fuller's
earth and ammonia Let stand
for a day or so, then lay blot

Cane-bottomed chairs should
be brushed to remove all dust
and then washed with salt and
water and placed in the open
air to dry.
Art muslin curtains should
never be washed In warm
water. Put them into a lather
of nearly cold water II the
curtains are green add a little
vinegar. If lilac or pink, little
ammonia.
If a handful of common salt
is added to the rinsing water,
it keeps the clothes from freez-
ing until dry.
To give a fine polish to linen
use lukewarm water instead of
cold to break down the starch.
When 1t has been reduced to
the required consistency by
boiling water, add a pinch of
fine salt and stir several times
with a wax candle. This will
make the iron run smoothly and
give a polish to the linen that
nothing else can impart.

About Lentils.

When we speak of 1egumes or dried
vegetables we are very apt to think
chiefly OF white beans and dried split
peas There is another vegetable
however. that should be included
more often with the peas and beans
namely, lentils.
Away back in biblical times len
tils were known and valued as food.
In fact, II is supposed that Esau sold
his birthright for len tils. Be that as
it may. we find in lentils the most
nourishing OF all the legumes. These
dried vegetables contain a very serv-
iceable vegetable protein, which
makes them very good. They also
furnish the amazing variety of the
valuable mineral salts without which
no dietary can call itself complete.
The Indispensable lime Is here in
even greater quantities than in nuts
or fruits. PHOSPHORUS we find rep
resented even more generously than
in most fish or meat. AS to iron, the
third important mineral, as in most
other foods, there is miscroscoptc
proportion present, but. as anybody
knows, this important mineral is not
required in large amounts.
Lentils may be cooked very soft
and strained and made into a deli
cious soup; they may be brought to a
somewhat thicker consistency and
combined with cracker crumbs &C
make a delicious vegetable roast
They may be made into shaped rolls
and baked with the tomato sauce or
brown gravy.
There are three varieties of lentils
One looks very much like a cousin &c
the pea, another being large and yell
low. and third, the most nourishing 6
of all, is small. .
During the Great War lentils rose
to Il price almost prohibitive, since
most of them were obtained from Ger
many or other European mark cts
Since that time we have come to
value them more inteliigently. and
their cultivation is now in a process
OF development in the southwestern
part of the United States
