Planes Make Desert
Trip Simple Matter

What could Aladdin's carpet do that
was more wonderful than rise from
the desert sands like the circling genii
from the bottle and whisk toward the
glowing east, while the pilgrims of
laden caravans rubbed their eyes at
the apparition anG wondered If
mirage had taken wings? Here is the
fairy tale come true at last. Vanished
is the land trail marked by bleached
bones where men strove and agonized
in the red dust and the hot breath of
the desert, in the hope of the water
hole and the date palms somewhere
beyond the forever receding rim of the
pitiless inverted sky-bowl imprisOning
the heat of fiery furnace. The fly
ing men have come TO find what height
they like upon the airways, and IA

Howl REMOVE STAINS

In treating stains with javelle
water, stretch the stained portion over
a bowl filed with water and apply the
javelle water to the stain with medf-
cine drOpper. Do not allow the javelle
water to remain in contact with the
fabric for more than one minute. If
necessary, the entire garment may be
placed in the liquid. Then apply a
solution containing one-fourth ounce
of sodium thiOsulphate and one-eighth
ounce of SO per cent acetic acid in two
quarts of water. Sodium thi0sulphate
C"hypo') is found in many homes
where amateur photography is being
the chlorine which remains in the
fabric after treatment with javelle
water. Rinse thoroughly. Oxalic acid
solution may be used instead of the
thiosulphate.
If allowed to remain too long in
contact with the fibers, javelle water
rots even linen and cotton materials.
1t should therefore always be followed
very promptly by solution of THO
sulphate, and the fabric rinsed thor
oughly to remove all traces of the
chemical. With persistent stains jaw
ellie water and thiosulphate to neutral
ize it may need to be applied several
times. Commercial ink remOvers are
similar in action to javelle water and
are very convenient for removing
many stains besides ink spots.

small pieces and fry with the chopped
onion for five minutes. Put pork,
onions, carrots and potatoes in a ket-

Thicker With Flour.
Chowder can be thickened with
-four, but most people prefer to add
crackers in imitation of the fishermen
who always used pilot bread. For
this quantity Of chowder you will
need eight or nine good-sized crack
ers. Split them so that they will soak
up the liquid evenly and not be soft
on the outside and dry inside. Add
them to the chowder few minutes
before serving. If you are using
-four for thickening, mix three table
spoonfuls with about one-half cupful
of milk, stir it into the chowder, and
allow it to cook for a few minutes.
If you prefer a chowder made with
tomatoes, use two and one-half cupfuls
of stewed and strained tomatoes in
stead of the milk.

Recipe for chowder.
For fish chowder the bureau of

ingredients: One and one-half pounds

kind generally preferred for chowder,
but any kind of fresh, dried, or
canned fish will do if it has large
flakes Of meat and only few bones
which can be easily picked out be-
fore the fish is combined with the
other ingredients. Or, if you prefer,
use a quart of clans or oysters in
