THE SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPER
PROBLEM

The plans for Sunday night SUD-
per should be quite elastic and such
that the unexpected afternoon caller
may be asked to stay and take "pot
luck with the family" The house,
wife who plans her Sunday evening
meal with this thought in mind may
extend such an invitation with the
assurance that the guest will find
"pot-luck" good luck.
This does not mean that Sunday
night suppers need be elaborate. but
only that there will be enough to 20
around plentifully. The best way to
accomplish this is to have the main
dish such that it may be stretched
by combining with some other food
or supplemented by hastily impro-
vised salad, plate of hot biscuits,
or toothsome sandwiches.
It is a good thing to prepare as
much ahead of time as possible.
Meat loaf, pressed meats, ielIied
veal are all excellent Sunday SUD-
per dishes; and nothing could be
more attractive served in thin slices
IN a platter garnished with parsley
Ind celery curls. Potato salad in
crisp lettuce cups and dainty bread
ind butter sandwiches are quite
enough to make this company sup
ler. Iced chocolate will serve as
leverage and dessert.

the story of Mademoiselle d'Aubig1e

Machine Methods In Farming


A group of Iowa farmers who
keep careful books, say that the av-
erage farm horse costs them $98.24
a year, including feed, labor, rent
and interest on their investment.
The horses averaged 1872 hours work
in 1926, and 820 in 1925, and farmed
per horse, 23.2 acres of land in 1926.
The modern crawler type tractor
will deliver horsepower at a lower
cost for every item of expense
feed, labor, interest, storage. 1t has
speed in the critical times of seed
ing and harvest when a little delay
means damage or loss of crops. The
little garden tractor, now built on
the crawler or track-laying type, is.
fairly revolutionizing gardening and
small acreage farming.
The machine age in farming las
arrived. Cost of operation is having
to be figured, where the old-Cime far
mer didn't think much about it.
Just as the successful industrial
plant is on machine basis to save
labor wherever possible, so must the
farm eventually adopt
machine methods where one man
can do the work of two.
No farm relief law formulated can
take the place of efficiency in oper-
alton, and farm relief laws cannot |
turn back the hand of time to the
lay when wooden plows were used |
with a yoke of oxen.

CHEMISTRY WINS

When confectioners, butchers,
bakers, candle-stick makers, and
the producers of other foods first
began wrapping their products
they ran into disappointments as
the wrappers too often defeated
their purposes by giving off odors,
and foods were tainted and often
spoiled. This made the goods less
desirable than when they were left
unwrapped. Tissue paper, oil pa
per and paraffine wrappers have had
limited uses.
When the chemists took a hand
they started out on unexplored
pathways. After two years of in
tensive research and development
work by the nations foremost
chemists there was developed a
wrapper that has as a base a pure
wood pulp treated with caustic soda
and carbon bisulphide. The chemi-
cal result is a mOlasses-like sub
stance called viscose. By further
treatment the chemists finally Sc
cured the finished product which is
known as cellephane. You have
seen it hundreds of times and have
no doubt quietly accepted it as
he most beautiful of all the wrap
1ers found on candies, ribbons, ba-
Iery goods, smoked kippers and.
)ther fish, weiners, dried fruits,
comb honey, waters,
sausages, bacon, dried
Deef, cans of tea and packages of
offee, salted nuts, spices, cigars
nd cigarettes, drugs, toilet articles,
tc. Cellephane started with a
hemist and a retort, just as these
of science are shown

Cellaphane is the first wrap that
as been able to hold and contain
ticky candies, nut bars, fruit cakes,
rackers and biscuits, and to trans
ort these and other articles difficult

THE TALE OF THE SKTRT

TO be or not to be-shorteri That

can skirt be sure of itself, nor for
that matter unsure. No longer can a
lady be confident of her skirts pro-
priety, but neither can she be chag-
r1ned by any of its actions.
Short skirts, one hears, are on
the wane. Uneven hemlines, dips in

close to knee length in front may
be found under any good dinner ta-
Die side by side perfectly even hens
ranging almost anywhere from knee
cap to mid-calf-if one must be ac-

Age is no criterion. Long skirts
are often scorned by the middle ag-

make a woman look exactly that
middle aged. Short skirts are not
the necessary pet of the young-be-

nave never had before, if they are
very young, and because change.

fashion game.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
ON PROHIBITION

In his message to Congress on
December 9Th, President Coolidge
included a declaration on Prohibi-
ton. He said:
After more than two generations
of constant debate, our country ad-
opted a system of national prohibi-
ton under all the solemnities in
volved in an amendment to the
Federal Constitution.
u .;''Fn obedience to this mandate the
Congress- and the States, with one
or two notable exceptions, have
passed required laws for it's ad-
ministration and enforcement.
"This imposes upon the citizen
ship of the country, and especially
on all public officers, not only the
duty to enforce, but the obligation
to observe the sanctions of this
constitutional provision and its re-
sulting laws. If this condition
could be secured, all question con-
cerning prohibition would cease.
''The Federal Government is MAX
ing every effort to accomplish these
results through careful organiza-
ton, large appropriations, and ad-
ministrative effort. Smuggling has !
been greatly cut down, the larger
sources of supply for illegal sale
have been checked, and by means
of injunction and criminal prosecu-
ton the process of enforcement is
being applied.
The same vigilance on the part
OF local governments would render
these efforts much more success
full.
THE Federal authorities propose
to discharge their obligation for

False Economy In Building
Construction

: False economy in building homes,
office buildings, stores and factories
often leads to useless fire waste. A
few more dollars invested in better
building methods, would often check
the spread of flames, making it pos
sible to keep a fire under control
until the fire department arrived.
When a man is building home
and the architect draws his plans
according to all the standards of
fire protection, should the owner
wish to reduce the cost as shown by
the estimate, the first things to be
eliminated are too often the factors
of safety" says Warren Ellis of the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers. ga cedar-lined closet seems far
more important than the fact that
their stairway is unenclosed, that
fire stops within the walls have been
eliminated or that their chimney has
a fue which is not absolutely safe.
If it means elimination of a break
fast nook to get fire-resistive roof,
they much prefer TO get along with
out the sane roof. This is false eco
nomy.
'False economy is q habit of the |
people when it comes to
fire-resistive buildings
and campaign against this attitude
should show results in the first gen.
grafton. We can just as readily ac-
Iuire the habit of desiring fire-safe
as of being willing to take
,hances."
