The roadside or picnic dinner may
seem troublesome ordeal to the one
who must prepare it, but neverthe-
less, it shold be INDUCED in frequently,
for nothing is so healthful, SO full of
zest as the meal cooked out of doors.
For this purpose, keep tucked away
on special shelf the shabby pans and
dishes discarded for general use; these
make excellent picnic utensils you will
not hesitate to Use. And keep on hand
a supply Of paper plates, cups and
napkins, and those cunning compost
ton forks and spoons that can be had
at the ten cent store.
The secret of 4 roadside dinner is
its simplicity. To cook too much be-
forehand quite spoils the fun. So

busting cotton and citrus to Keep
down insects, and other widely
varying uses. ,
{ He characterized speed as the great

He stressed safety as an advantage
of air transportation also.
Preliminary plans for obtaining a
