Apparently lawyers are born and not
made, if a delightful yarn published
in the Manchester Guardian correctly
illustrates the development of the legal
mentality from start in the cradle,
writes the London correspondent OF
the Christian Science Monitor There
had been certain liveliness IN the
nursery just before bedtime, with the
result that some of the furniture was
broken. There was fog of highly
conflicting evidence in the nursery,
and father decided that, failing full
and accurate account of what had
happened, an anticipated holiday at
Scarborough should be Cancelled.
After some moments of deep thought
his young son, who will probably some
day be lord chancellor, summed up
the position in sentence: Il have
said didn't do it, but If / can't go
to Scarborough unless l say did do
it, 1 think had better say did 1t;
but, if did do it, don't know / did

ANOTHER UPSIDE
DOWN CAKE IDEA
An Unusual CONNECTION and
Also a Delicious Dessert.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
If your family wants an unusual
and also a delicious dessert try an
upside down" pineapple cake. 1t
may be served with or without
whipped cream or Lard sauce. The
two parts are prepared separately and
then put together in the way de-
scribed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Pineapple Mixture.
~ CUP sugar 2 tabl les p o o ms
tablespoons butter pineapple juice
8 slices pineapple
Stir the sugar until it is melted in a
smooth frying pan, then allow 1t to
brown. Add the butter and the pine
apple juice and cook until fairly
thick strip is formed. Place the Sec
lions of pineapple in the strip and
cook for one or two minutes or until
they are light brown, turning them
occasionally. Have ready a we'll
creased, heavy baking pan or glass
baking dish, place the pineapple on
the bottom, and pour the sirup over 1t.
Allow this to cool so it will form a
semi-solid surface, then pour in the
following cake batter:
Cake Batter.
n cup butter flour
Il cup sugar 2 teaspoons bak-
1 egg Ing powder
u cup milk " teaspoon salt
~ CUPS soft wheat teaspoon vanilla
Cream the butter, add the sugar,
add the well-beaten egg, and vanilla.
Sift the dry ingredients together twice
and add alternately with the milk to
the butter, sugar and egg mixture.
Pour this over the pineapple. The
batter is rather thick and may need
to be smoothed on top with knife
Bake slowly in very moderate oven
600 to 1876 degrees) for three-quarters
of an hour. Loosen the sides of the
cake, turn it out carefully, upside
down. If the fruit sticks to the pan
lift it out and place it on the cake In
the place where it should be.

Mixtures of Vegetables
and Meat Are Excellent

Mixtures of vegetables and meat
offer a good way to make sure that
the family eats plenty of vegetables.
When uncooked meat is mixed imme.
diateiy with the vegetables and then
cooked, it must be of kind that is
fairly tender so that prolonged cook
ing of the vegetables is unnecessary.
Pork is an excellent meat for the pur-
pose. The proportions given below
by the bureau of home economics will
be found satisfactory for a dish of
this kind:
u pound lean pork Y cup h oppe d
tablespoons butter celery
3 TIA b es spoons quart cabbage.
chopped onion cut in slices
table SPOONS " teaspoon salt
chopped green
peppers
Chop the pork, brown it in the but
ter, add the chopped onion, green
pepper, celery and cabbage, and let
them brown little in the hot fat
Then add small quantity of water
and let the meat and vegetables sim
mer for 10 to Is minutes. They
should then be tender but still crisp
and fresh looking. Season with salt
and pepper If desired.

Furs Not Difficult to
Clean and Brighten

Furs may be cleaned by washing in
gasoline or in suds made with CASTLE
soap and little borax, followed by
several rinsings in clear water, is
helpful suggestion from the biological
survey, United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t is best to hang them
out of doors to dry. When dry or
nearly so, they require to be stretched
and rubbed on the flesh side to make
them pliable again.
Fur garments may be frightened by
sponging them with gasoline and then
rubbing corn meal into the fur while
it is still damp to take up the par
ticles of dirt that have been loosened.
Gasoline should never be used, of
course, where it's fumes can come in
contact with fire.
Another way of cleaning fur super
ficially is by means of napthalene
crystals thoroughly rubbed into it.
The pulverized crystals and the dirt
which has been dislodged may be re-
moved by whipping, brushing with a
whisk broom, or by vacuum cleaner.
