&Prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Every sewing machine needs clean
ing at frequent intervals, even when
in daily use, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. If the
machine has been closed and unused
for any length of time, it will prob
ably need thorough going over. Aft
er wiping and busting it thoroughly,
fill your oil can with kerosene, and
oil every part, including the treadle
shaft and lower wheel axles, If it is
a foot-driven machine. Run the ma
chine vigorously without thread until
you are sure the kerosene has had
chance to loosen every bit of old.
gummed-up oil and dirt Then put
good quality machine oil in your can
and oil the machine with that Use
light mineral oil or sperm OIL or any
special oil recommended by the MAX
ers of your machine. Wipe all acces-
sible parts so there will be no likeli-
hood of getting oil on your material.
Thread the machine and work off on
scraps some of the first thread that
must pass through or near oiled parts.
AS an extra precaution to prevent ac-
cidental oil spots tie a bit of wool
around the presser foot post just above
the needle.
Look Over Details.
When the stitching on your scraps
is clean you can safely start to sew,
but first look over several other de
tails. See if the stitch is right for
the use intended, and adjust the
thumb-screw that regulates the length
of the stitch Some women use the
same stitch whether they are making
furniture covers or party dresses, and
wonder why their clothes never look

as attractive as those made by some
body else who uses a small stitch, fine
thread, and fine needle, on nice ma
terials. You can save energy, how
ever, on draperies, sheets, and other
household articles, by using medium
stitch that covers the distance faster.
Notice whether your tension is right
for the thread and kind Of material
on which you expect to start sewing.
Examine the belt to see If it is tight
enough. Tired feet and aching backs
are often due to working strenuously
at the treadle when the belt slips.
If the belt is slack, open it and cut
off half-inch or more, pinch the con-
Meeting wire back in place. and see
what difference this one change
makes! If you expect to do a great
deal of sewing this season, this is a
good time to consider the possibility
of investing in an electric motor.
Look to Needles.
Lastly, see if you have needles of
various sizes, in good condition. Blunt
and bent needles should be thrown
away. Always use the correct needles
for your make of machine, and keep
supply ON hand to fit the sizes of
thread you expect to use. Nothing is
More discouraging to the home sewer
than to break a needle and not find
another of the same size to take its
place. Strong coarse needles are
needed for heavy work. but on thin
materials they punch ugly big holes
and spoil the appearance Of the work.
Get into the habit of closing up the
machine when you stop work for the
day. A little dust can undo all your
efforts at cleaning up your machine
and making it run easily.

ROAST LAMB WITH
SPINACH STUFFING
Shoulder Meat Is Tender
and of Good FlaUor.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
good many housekeepers are I'M
familiar with the possibilities of a
shoulder of lamb, and the leg is con-
sidered too large or too expensive to
serve very often. The shoulder meat
is tender and of good flavor. The
whole piece is generally lighter in
weight than the leg from the same
animal, and sells for less per pound
Because of the number and location
of the bones, carving a shoulder is
not quite so simple as carving leg,
and possibly this fact explains why
the shoulder is not used as often
One way of making the roast easier
to carve Is to have the butcher take
out the shoulder blade. 1t is posi-
BILE to bone the entire shoulder and
bake 1t in roll, but the meat will
be jucier and of better flavor If the
shoulder blade only is removed. The
cavity is to be filed with a special
spinach stuffing which is made of the
following materials:
cups dry bread / tablespoonful
crumbs chopped green
spinach leaves 1 Tablespoonful
4 tablespoonfulS chopped onion
butter " teaspoonful salt
2 tablespoonfuls Y teaspoonful
chopped celery pepper
Cut the spinach up as small as
possible, after thoroughly washing It,
Put it in pan with the pepper, also,
minced fine, the onion, and half the
butter Cook about two minutes,
enough to wilt the spinach slightly.
stirring constantly. Then push to one
side of the pan, melt the remaining
butter in the empty part, and mix
with it the bread crumbs so that they
absorb the butter. This is simply an
easy way of buttering the crumbs
without using another pan. Mix the
spinach and crumbs and stir until it
is little dry. The spinach, of course.
will become more moist as the stuffing
cooks. Put the stuffing In the cavity,
sew the edges together, and place the
meat in baking pan. Rub season
ings and flour all over the outside,
and brown the meat thoroughly In
little fat, in hot oven. Pour half
cupful of hot water over the roast. adj

realize that the terrific strains i'm
posed on spark plugs under racing con-

Accidents Caused
by Jay Walkers

Pedestrians are responsible
for great many automobile ac-
cidents. Some of them need
guardians to escort them across
the streets. Too many jaywalk-
ers ramble about without re-
straint, crossing thoroughfares
where it is most convenient for
them to do so, getting in the
way of motorists who have the
right of way and generally clog
ging up traffic. Very often
motorists have to suddenly pull
into curbs to avoid striking jay
walkers endangering their own
lives and property, only to be
greeted with unkind words by
the thoughtless pedestrians.
1t is more important for the
pedestrian to be careful than
for the motorist, for it is usual
ly the pedestrian who is injured
in an automobile accident. OF
the men, women and children
killed by automobiles during
1925 two-thirds or three-quar-
tiers were pedestrians.
Death is so permanent!
