Are we allowed to ask for the
kind of a costume we'd lke?" he
inquired, anXiouSly.
DimpleS frowned.
God! Haven't you ever been in
q picture before?'
IT was on the same set with you
at Culver City" Howell replied with
dignity.
DimpleS' eyebrows lifted.
Yeah? Oh, you're the guy that
fainted!"
Howell flushed. He would re-
member that.
We'll, listen, brother the other
boy continued. "You take what
ever's handed to you in this bust
ness. These movie directors are
kings. There are so many costumes
they'll want used and you'll be given
whatever seems to suit. And what
you think about it won't make a
damn bit of difference"
But surely any one could see he
was just the type for one OF those
football teams.
TIE watched "Dimples" receive a
i Il tough" costume. Trousers and
coat which did not match, and a
ratty old cap. Met the brief, all
seeing glance of the god behind the
gate, and looked down to find a
policeman's uniform on the counter
in front of him.
rs this for me?" he stammered.
Nothing else but! Go over to
the dressing room and put it on"
Howell walked out with the brass
buttons clicking across his arm,
What a jokel Was it on them or
him? That they should use the
captain of university football team
for a policeman, while the fellows
who had probably never played in
a real game trotted back and forth
getting a huge kick" out Of their
own Importance.
Once in the poorly lighted dress
ing room he found the policeman's
uniform uncomfortably tight.
IT can't wear this all day. l can't
sit down in it" he commented, eye
ing himself diSgustedly.
Never saw uniform yet that
wasn't a misft," grumbled Dtmples.
"They're always tight. Look better
that way. You've nothing to crab
about. You make a swell-looking
cop"
He pulled the disreputable cap
over his sullen eyes and sauntered
forth. The light was so poor that
Howell could not get clear glimpse
of himself, but as he rather self
consciously returned to the waiting
group Of extras he saw the assist
ant director who had sent him to
the wardrobe nod as il satisfied.
There ensued one of the most
uncomfortable days he had ever
spent. Over and over the football
team trotted upon the field before
the game. Over and over Howell
as a policeman held back the crowd
His trousers were too tight. His
collar was choking him. Except for
an hour at noon there was not an
instant's respite from the glare OF
the sun. Well. anyway, he was in
the movies now.

It's Human Nature

Pride in personal appearance is inherent in
all OF U.s. No one wants to look seedy, unkempt, to
appear addressed or classed as has-been. It's
only human nature after ALL
Advertisements are the bar0meters of style.
The advertisements of collars and clothes have
served as the models after which the modern
Wel!-grOOmed young man patterns his personal
appearance-even to the dressing of his hair.
The advertisements of fashionable gowns
from Paris, the exquistely dressed women pic
tured in the advertising of silks and other dress
materials, are the criterions by which the twen-
tieth century woman Judges whether she is cos
TUNED to the minute or not.
You cannot ignore advertising and be up to
date in matters of dress. No more can YOU pass
over advertisements that tell you of the latest
necessities and luxuries that make for better and
happier living. In fact, advertising keeps us
modern in every sense if its reading is made

Hot Cocoa for Cold Days
Is Food Well as Drink

In cold weather 1t is good for the
younger children to have hot drink
before starting for school in the morn
ing. Cocoa made with milk Is both
food and a beverage, and most chill
dren enjoy 1t for breakfast. The
United States Department Of Agricul
ture recommends cocoa as a suitable
addition to the hot school lunch
When 1t is not possible for the chill
dren to obtain 1t at school the mother
may serve 1t when the children get
home in the afternoon, or as part OF
the evening meal. Few adults will
refuse an appetlzing cup Of cocoa fol
lunch or supper, when dropping In to
call, or when returning late at night
from cold trip.
Make cocoa with whole or skim milk
If possible Allow two level teaspoon
fuls Of cocoa and about two level tea
spoonfuls of sugar to each half pint OF
milk. While bringing the milk to the
scalding point mix the cocoa and
sugar to a paste with little colo
milk or water. Add to the hot milk
bring to the boiling point, and boil for
about a minute. To prevent scum
from rising, beat briskly with an egg
beaten. Some persons like the add
ton of a few drops of Vanilla
Whipped cream or marshmallow
may be floated on top Of each cup.

Because of their pleasant tartness.
cooked apples are an acceptable ac-
compartment to any Of the usual cuts
" pork-roasts, chops or sausage. The
,pples need not always be made into
Mrce, however. Sometimes serve them
,aked, or fried, or glazed. Or have
IN apple dessert. Other slightly acid
ruit flavors may take the place Of APP
pies for change-fried pineapple,
Tor instance, or cranberry sauce In the
winter months, or tart jellies like cur
amt or beach plum.
Success In preparing pork cuts, says
die bureau Of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
mre, depends on regulating the heat
10 as to cook the meat we'll done to
The center of the piece and at the
mme time to keep the outside from
becoming hard and dry. Moderate
cooking temperature is best after the
surface has been scared to develop
Itch flavor. 1t is neither necessary
aor desirable to add water to pork
.oasts during cooking. Hams, shout
lers and loins have sufficient fat on
the outside to haste the lean meat,

Cinnamon Roll.

Sprinkle a layer of biscuit dough
thickly with sugar, cinnamon and bits
of butter. Roll as for jelly roll, cut
into one-inch pieces, and set them cut
side down in a pan prepared as fol
lows: Butter pan, sprinkle thickly
with sugar, bits of butter and some
cinnamon. Pour in strip to cover the
lower part Of the pan with layer OF
strip. Set the rolls in this and bake
as directed. When baked, turn the
rolls out on rack. If you want o
roll that is covered with plentiful
supply Of strip. increase the amount
Of strip that Is poured into the pun
If glazed surface is desired, add
tional strip or honey may be poured
over the tops Of the rolls before they
are to be baked.

and so do not dry out when roasted
fat side up at moderate temperature
in open pans without added water.
For a pork loin roast have the
butcher crack the bones so that 1t can
be carved in slices between the ribs.
Wipe the meat with damp cloth.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub
with flour. Lay the loin, ribs down
and fat side up, on rack in an open
roasting pan. Scar the meat for 30
minutes, or until lightly Drowned, in
a hot oven (4S0 degrees Fahrenheit)
then reduce the temperature rapidly
to very moderate heat 600 degrees
to 1926 degrees Fahrenheit), and cook
until the meat Is tender. A loin
weighing from to 5 pounds will prob
ably require from 2 to 21A hours
when these oven temperatures are
used. A roast meat thermometer can
be used with loins, just as with ham
and other thick roasts. Put 1t Into
the raw meat so that the bulb reaches
the thickest part and leave it in dur
ing all the time the roast Is In the
oven. When the mercury in the meat
thermometer registers 1875 degrees
Fahrenheit, the meat Is well done to
the center.

Study Various Starches
for Stiffening Fabrics

The comparative value Of potato,
wheat, corn, and rice starches for
stiffening fabrics has been given in
tensiye study in the textile laboratory
Of the bureau Of home economics and
Is reported In a technical bulletin
just issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. A quantita-
tive method and apparatus for meas
uring the stiffness of sized fabrics.
devised by Esther @. Peterson and
Tobias Dantzig, is also described and
illustrated.
Heretofore only qualitative methods
of showing differences in fabric stiff
ness had been developed, and often
times the stiffness was indicated as
part Of the 'feel," HANDLE" or some
such vague term common in mill and
laundry practice. The new method
originated by textile chemist and
mathematician in collaboration there
fore marks an advance in the scien-
tific study Of fabric sizing. 1t is also
predicted that manufacturers Of pa
per, celluloid, and other commodities
will find this method Of equal value
in measuring accurately the stiffness
Of their commodities.
The study of starches is being con-
tinued by the bureau to determine the
value of dasheens and other agricul-
tural products as sources OF sizing
materials for use In the manufacture
and laundering Of fabrics.

Best Height for Table,
Tubs. Sink and Stove

Is your permanent kitchen equip
ment substantial, easy to keep in Or
der. carefully grouped and set at such
height that you do not have to stoop
or strain your muscles as you work?
Sink, stove, and workable should be
near together SO as to save steps.
Scattered equipment means walking
many unnecessary miles during the
course of year, the United States
Department of Agriculture has esti-
mated. If the kitchen table Is on
casters It can be easily moved where
needed, thus saving steps.
The various kitchen tasks can be
done most comfortably at different
heights. Sinks especially are. often
set too low: 30 inches from the bot
tom Of the sink to the floor is consid-
cred good average height. Expert
ment until you find the best height
for your table, ironing board, and
washtubs. The table can be raised
on blocks followed out to fit the legs,
and with little ingenuity you can
adjust the ironing board and tubs.
