Provide Canned Corn to
Help Out During Winter

Every housekeeper likes to have a
few jars of canned corn among her
reserve supplies, especially If the corn
is grown in the home garden, but many
do not feel quite confident about can
ming it properly. The United States
Department Of Agriculture says that
corn can be safely and successfully
canned at home If a steam pressure
Gamer Is used. Corn is one Of the non
acid vegetables which should be proc
essed at temperature higher than
PIP degrees Fahrenheit which is only
possible under steam pressure.
The corn should, of course, be as
fresh as possible when canned. Handle
it within two hours after picking, If
possible. To prepare it for canning,
cut it from the cob without precook-
ing. Add half as much boiling water
as corn by weight and heat thoroughly.
Pack it hot in the jars, add one tea
teaspoonfuls of sugar if desired. Ad-
just the springs half way, or place
screw tops on loosely, and completely
seal tin cans before placing them in
the Gamer, which should be hot. Proc
ess so minutes at Is pounds pressure
or $50 degrees Fahrenheit.
In using the pressure Gamer, wait
until steam flows fully from the pet
cock before closing; otherwise the
pressure is no indication of the tenn
perature. Commence to count the time
when the pressure reaches the desired
point, not before.
Seal glass jars as soon as removed
from the Gamer. The texture of prod
ucts in tin is removed if the cans
are cooled quickly by plunging in cold
water. All cans and jars should be
so marked that each lot can be identi-
fed. Keep them at room temperature
for at least week. Discard any
showing signs of spoisage and watch
others of the same lot until it is GER
tain that they are keeping.

Homemade Soap Is Much
Harder Than Store Kind

Perhaps you have wondered why
some Of your neighbors bother to make
homemade soap when it can be pur-
chased so easily. AS families increase
in size. Soap bills usually get to be
quite an item, and home soap making
will save So to $40 year.
If you will save your grease and
meat scraps you will be able to make
dozens Of bars of fine white soap. If
you follow carefully the recipe on the
I've label or one in the manufacture
er's booklet, you will have splendid
success, You will find that home
made soap Is much harder and does
not wash away so quickly as store
soap.
Waste grease, as a rule, La of no
value whatsoever except for soap max
ing. When sufficient quantity has
been saved to combine with six cans
Of highest-test lye, you can make do
nestle soap at a cent bar. On the
basis mentioned you would have more
than a hundred bars of pure soap,
which would last the average family
one year and would be worth over Sc.
Ii you try 1t once yourself you will
be very much pleased with the results
obtained.

made for their type alone. Every mod
ell fits perfectly the slim shoulders,

terms bearing" and carriage" once
so important among eIegantes, are as

Gay Little Shoes

The little ones of Paris are shod
every bit as elegantly as their NAM
mas. Colored kid is used almost ex-
clusively and the color combinations
are similar to those on the footwear
for the grown-ups. In these charming
little creations white kid is combined
with blue or pink. A plaid pattern in
red and gray with cherry-colored
strap and collar appears on one shoe,
while in the case of another mauve
kid is combined with parma-violet

Durable Leather Flowers
Can Be Made at Home

Leather flowers, which are very at
tractive, used as trimming on felt
hats or as boutonnieres, can be- made
at home. They will be more durable,
also, as the leather in those purchased
ready-made in the shops, is of a cheap
er grade.
The first step, after having bought
a piece of leather, is to decide on the
design of the flowers and leaves and
cut them out. 1t has been found
good plan to make circle with a
compass and draw a diameter across it
as d guide, then the semi-circles can
be divided into as many petals as de-
sired. After the flower has been worked
out in the rough, as it were, it is then
easy to shape it with pair of scissors.
Moulding the petals comes next. Wet

ment Ca handle of teaspoon will dO)

outside, the petals will be convex, if

the petals can be rolled up by the
thumb. Leather is very pliable while
it is wet and If dried quickly before
strong fire, will generally retain the
shape given to it. The leaves are made
In the same manner as the petals, veins
can be drawn on them with knitting
needle.
The assembling of the various parts
is the next step in this interesting oc-
cupation. The outer petals should be
larger in size than the inner ones and
decrease in size until the center is
reached, one fitting into the other The

VARIOUS WAYS OF
USING SOY BEAMS
Appreciated for Their High
Food Value.

Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Soy beans have long been a staple
food product in the Orient. As they
are becoming better known In this
country, and appreciated for their high
food value, people are beginning to
inquire as to the best ways of cooking
them. The United States Department
of Agriculture says that the yellow,
brown and green varieties of soy beans
are excellent for use as green vege-
tables, and can be cooked like lima
beans or any other Of the varieties of
beans used green. Dried soy beans
can be prepared in much the same way
as navy and other dried BEANS The
soy beans, however, require longer
soaking and much more cooking than
the familiar varieties of beans. Either
a pressure cooker or a fireless cooker
can be used to advantage, therefore,
in cooking them. In general, dried soy
beans need to be soaked "a hours and
cooked for at least hours. The time
varies considerably with the dryness
of the bean and it's variety. 1t is bet
ter to simmer any soy beans than to
boil them rapidly. Since the soy bean
Is very rich in fat, it does not require
additional fat in cooking, but some
persons prefer to add little meat fat
or butter because of the flavor.
Roasted soy beans are somewhat
like roasted peanuts in flavor. Soak
the beans over night. Boil them for one
hour in sailed water. Spread in
shallow pan, and roast in moderate
oven. Sprinkle them with salt while
they are still warm.
The following recipes suggest uses
for boiled soy beans:

Unusual Sleeves on Jumpers

Some of the smartest of the Lanvin
two-piece models with jersey top, the
jersey usually almost as fine as bal
briggan, have an unusual sleeve. Two
bands of jersey more tightly knitted
than the sleeve itself are inset, one
about an inch above the wrist and the
other an inch above that. Most of
the jumper suits are long-sleeved, but
an attractive, very youthful model is
sleeveless, the jumper very short,
over a sleeveless, round-collared silk

NEW STYLES IN LINGERIE;
NOVELTY IN ACCESSORIES

ZONE are the days when the chief
concern Of lingerie was daintiness,
accomplished by means of fine fabrics
and painstaking needle work. Interest
now centers in styles which are varied
and everchanging rejecting the in
novations brought into outer apparel,
and in colors and color combinations,
which are even more varied. Dainti-
ness goes without saying-it is taken
care of by the use of very sheer and
lightweight materials, laces and lacy
fabrics. These range, in silk, from
georgette to crepe satin, and in cotton,
from wolfe to lustrous, silky sateen, all
of them light and supple.
Since color has become SO important,
lingerie materials are dyed in fast

Laces, especially guipures, are much
in vogue. All-over lace is used in vests
and the fashionable flare inlets seen
in the skirts. Insertions are seen, from
two to ten inches wide. Net top laces
also are very widely used in the manu-
facture of frilly jabot effects, and
other classes of neckwear. Imitation
