Engine Depreciation

An airplane engine worth some $1O,-
600 only lasts 800 hours, even with
several overhaulings. Allowing care
fully for the cost of overhauling and
for the salvage value Of the parts left
over, Mr.. Black In Automotiye Indus
tries nevertheless estimates. that such
an engine depreciates per hour to the
expensive tune of $1,000. This is not
quite SO bad as would appear at first,
since at cruising speed Of no miles
per honr, the engine would have pro-
PEELED its plane distance Of $1,000
miles.
If the average passenger automo-
bile does 1900 miles a year, the air

FUTURE BECKONS
YOUNG AMERICANS
Achievements Of Past Only Show
Great Opportunity Ahead.

Great events of the past quarter CEN
fury which lead some young men to
complain that all the big things have
been done, leaving no opportunity for
them, as matter OF fact only go to
show that even greater opportunity
today lies ahead of them. F. n. Shep-
herd, Executive Manager Of the Amer
lean Bankers Association, recently
told members of the American Insti-
tute of Banking in New York After
reviewing the outstanding accomplish
ments in science, industry and finance
during the last twenty-five years.. Mr..
Shepherd emphasized the reward given
men Of achievement in America, espe-
cially in the financial field.
'The achievements Of the past are
the groundwork for the opportunities
Of today and tomorrow" he said.
.aThere never was a time when so
great were the potentialities Of the in
diyiduaI. The world was never so
ready and able to pay well for what il
wants. For superior service to so
ciety under competitive conditions,
whether through invention or produc-
ton or organization or distribution Of
useful articles, no reward is begrudged,
particularly here in America.
Adding to human comfort and hui
man needs, these things make life

To Wash Berries

Not every one knows how to wash
Strawberries. Hull a few berries at
a time, drop them in bowl Of clean,
cold water, and take them out i'm
mediately. Put them to drain dry in a
colander. The sand sinks to the bot
tom of the bowl and the juice does
not have a change to run. Continue
hulling and washing a few berries at
time. If you turn whole quart of
berries into bowl at once, some will
be watery and tasteless before all are
taken out. If you put them in a col
ander and run water on them the
sand from these above gets on those
beneath.

Beauty Of Small Home
Enhanced by Pergola

The top work of the single pergola
can be made as wide as six or seven
feet, with benches between the posts.
This will give the same seating pos
sibilities as double pergOlas. Also lit
tie garden entrances are generally
considered as being necessarily dou-
BILE, but instead these can be very
small, artistic arrangements of the
two posts with light top over them.
Habit is the most fixed thing in life,
and we are much inclined to follow
some of the methods of the past in
landscape gardening, some of which
are absurd in meeting the present-day
conditions.
BY the use of skill now, instead OF
lumber and paint, just as effective
and attractive garden embellishments
can be had without any greater cost
than years ago. The present age de-
mands more skill and less habit

Wooden sweaters, scarfs, and other
knitted and crocheted articles often
lose their shape when washed, unless
special precautions are taken Before
washing a sweater, you Should meas

dry 1t, spread 1t on a table covered
with several thicknesses of clean soft

the dimensions taken before it was

Use lukewarm suds, about no de-

Egg Dressing Used in
Place of Oil in Salads

Hot slaw with egg dressing is par
ticulariy acceptable to those who do
not like the flavor of oil in salads.
The ingredients you will need are
2 eggs, tablespoonful water or cab
bage stock, 8 tablespoonful vinegar,
or to taste; tablespoonfuls shredded
green pepper or 1 teaspoonful onion
juice, or u teaspoonful celery seed,
1 teaspoonful salt, a few specks Of
dry mustard, "a medium head Of
cabbage / quart; tablespoon
full sugar.
Shred the raw cabbage finely. Beat
the eggs well, add the salt, sugar,
mustard, and water or stock; cook in
the double boiler until 1t coats the
edge of the spoon, thickening like
soft custard. Then add the vinegar,
and pour 1t over the cabbage while 1t
is still very hot. Let 1t stand few
moments to blend the flavor of the
dressing with that of the cabbage.
This may be served cold as well as
hot. The United States Department
of Agriculture states that the egg
yolks used In this dressing contribute
iron, fat, and other valuable cehstitu-
ents to the diet, and that the raw
cabbage itself is one Of the best foods
we have as a source of vitamines, so
let the family enjoy this good slaw
frequently.

Simplicity Is keynote
of the Small House

A great many people have the mis-
taken idea that the very small house
or cottage cannot be made so attrac-
tive nor so intellectually correct as
a large house, but this is wrong.
Probably the reason for the growth
of this idea is the fact that too often
the wrong methods are used in the at
tempt to make the small house at
tractive. That is, it is ornamented
with many fancy trimmings which
have just the opposite effect from that
which is desired.
Simplicity is a good rule in all house
design, but it is absolutely essential
in the design of the small house. Lines
and materials are the means which
should be used to make the small
house attractive.

Color Fasfness Depends
on Chemical COMPOSITION

1t is a common fallacy that green,
lavender, or some other color is less
fast than blue or pink. Fastness de-
ponds on the chemical composition of
the dye used, not on the color, states
the United States Department of Agri-
culture Dyestuffs are grouped into
various classes according to their COM
position, and the dyes in some classes
are more fast than those in others.
Thus, green, blue, or any other
fabric may have received it's color
from any one of a number of differ
ent dyestuffs varying widely in per-
manency. Without knowing just what
kind of a dye was used-and it is
practically impossible for the con-
sumner to tell this-the fastness OF
color in two fabrics cannot be pre-
dicted. A dye that is one of the poor
est of its class may have been used
on one of the fabrics, while the other
may have been dyed with one of the
best.

Hen Beats Doctor as a
Mixer of Spring Tonic

Egg-yelk heads the list of iren-rich
foods and is one of the best possible
means of supplying the body with this
valuable mineral, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
contains phosphorus and calcium, toe,
elements needed to build bones, teeth,
and other tissues. The white of eggs
come very near to being pure protein,
which is one of the chief substances
of our bodies. Eggs are also rich
sources of vitamines, those A B C's Of
the diet needed to promote health and
proper development. Taken all and
all, then, the hen beats the doctor as
a mixer of spring tonic, for she COM
bines minerals with other valuable
foods in a form that the body finds
particularly useful.

Don't Rub Sweater.
Squeeze and work the sweater in
the suds without rubbing it. Press out
the excess water and wash the sweat
er In second suds of the same tenn
perature. Hand washing is considered
less likely than machine washing to
shrink a sweater or make it lose it's
softness. Squeeze the last suds frem
the sweater and rinse it free from
soap in several changes of lukewarm
water. Wiring 1t through loosely set
wringer, taking care not to stretch 1t.
Spread it. back down, on a covered
table in warm place, but not near
fire or in the direct sunlight. In
winter, never allow sweater to
freeze. Dry it indoors. Shape it ac-
cording to the original measurements,
as described before. Turn it occasion
ally after it is almost dry. A child's
sweater may be dried on a form. Keep
a sweater In drawer or on a we'll
shaped hanger, never on a hook.

Use of Good Hardware
Is Safe Investment

In the matter of cost, hardware and
locks play a rather minor part, form
ing only from to per cent of the
total expenditure. In the matter of
service it is of prime Importance, for
1t Is the mechanism which actuates
every door, every window or drawer,
and is in constant use by every mem
Der Of the household.
There is a wide difference, not only
in the quality and the finish, but In
the shape and function, to suit each
piece to the location where it is to be
used. To have the hardware right,
the owner of the building should con-
suit the builders hardware man of
some good hardware store specializing
in this class of work and inspect sam
pies of the articles submitted for APP

certain that the proper equipment is
secured.
1t Is also highly important that the
order for the hardware be placed early

Hot pack canning Is the feature of
bulletin by DR.. Louise Stanley just

ment Of Agriculture telling how to
can fruits and vegetables In the home.
The hot pack Is quick and easy
method which combines all the good
points Of the other popular methods
and has some additional advantages of
its own.
Briefly, the hot pack method is to
wash and otherwise prepare the vege-
table or fruit for canning, cook 1t for
ten or fifteen minutes In water or
strip in kettle, pack It boiling hot
Into the glass Jars or tin cans, and
process In the water bath or pressure

temperature recommended This short

be packed more easily. 1t drives
out the air and makes exhausting
unnecessary. Most important of all.
the food packed boiling hot into the
Jars or cans and put at once into
the het Gamer reaches the tempera-
ture required for processing far soon
er than IL 1t were packed cold, and
makes possible shorter processing
periods. Moreover, heat penetrates
more uniformly during canning and
the food In the center of the jar is
more likely to be properly processed.
This cuts down the chances Of spoil
age, for 1t is proper processing more
than all else that determines whether
canned foods keep or spoil.
The directions given throughout the
bulletin are concise. Wherever pos
sible the scientific reasons behind

follow directions If she wants to put
up foods that will keep. Types Of

and tomatoes and pressure Gamers
for use with all other vegetables are
described and illustrated. A series

the steps In canning In glass jars
and tin cans. Directions and time

- HE ocean this summer is full
of ships. And the ships are
full of Americans, young and
old, rich and not so rich, but
all comrades in arms and handbag
gage in the annual descent on Eu-
rope-and Paris.
And, as usual, this years tourist
swarm is larger than any previous
year, so the steamship agents tell US.
Estimates (meaning guesses) place
the number of eastbound travellers
this year anywhere from 100000 to
100000.
OF the total, whatever 1t may be,
by far the most picturesque throng
is that composed of college students.
This designation, of course, includes
prep school lads, bona-fide college stu
dents, and anyone who recently, that
is, within ten years or so, has been
college student.
Foreign travel, 1t seems, has be-
come a necessary part of college
education. This year the steamship
lines expect the total of this class of
patronage to reach 60,000-one in ten
of the college population of the United
States.
The peak load Of tourists with Eu-
rophobia generally is carried during
June and July, but on account of the
Unexpectedly heavy demand for ac-
commodation that began to make
itself felt as early as last fall, most
of the transatlantic lines arranged
for extra sailings for May as well as
June and July The Cunard schedule
was arranged last winter so as to
send out "a passenger ships from At
lantic ports in the course of May, June
and July This included 81 sailings
from New York. The International
Mercantile Marine, the United States
lines, the French line, the Dutch,
German, Scandinavian, Italian and
other companies arranged their SEIZED
ules in proportion.

Since the World war transatlantic
back Discomforts and delays in post
war Europe made it anything but a
pleasure" trip. Then, too, the cost
was high. Since 1914 fares had almost
doubled. For six years after the ar
mistice only the rich could afford the
voyage. Steamships sailed half filed ;
business was rotten.
To make things worse, Americas
new immigration quota law reduced
the number of incoming aliens to
about a quarter of the prewar figures.
The steerage Of these great steam
ships was only partly. filled coming
from Europe to America, and prac-
tically empty on the return.
Then somebody had brilliant idea.
Why not paint up this now deserted
steerage, give it a new name, and
make campaign for the business of
the old-time American traveller to Eu-
rope via the Storage? Everything
considered, these third-class accom-
modations were not so bad; it was

Interest in Floors

Only in recent years there has been
awakening new interest in floors.
After all, floor is more than a mere
surface to walk on. 1t may be noisy.
Or 1t may be quiet; it may be firing
to walk on, or it may be resilient and
comfortable; it may be treacherously
slippery; or it may be yielding to the
tread; 1t may be easily roughened, full
of cracks, unsanitary and hard to
keep clean, or it may be smooth, with
out cracks, always sanitary and easy
to keep In spick- and-span order.

Bird Houses Need
Protection of Paint

Bird houses, usually placed so that
clemencies of the weather should be
painted very carefully with a good
grade of outside house paint, and then,
preferably, vanished with a good spar
varnish. 1t is foolish to suppose that,
merely because bird house is a very
small article, it needs no surface pro-
lection. All destructible surfaces, ex-
posed to wind and weather, require
paint and varnish to preserve them.

plain frame garage is set well back
on the lot where it is not conspicuous
and because of its simple frame con-
struction, does not clash with the
house. Flowers planted about the
foundation aid in breaking the grade
line where the siding is carried down
to the ground, and the trellis against
the chimney adds most charming
touch.
