There are many ways OF cooKlng
potatoes-baked French fried, eScal-
ioped, creamed or hash browns. to mem
ton some of the most popular. IL Is
necessary to have some knowledge Oh
cooking these simple foods before one
can hope to achieve success with COM
plicated ones.
Baked-Select smooth, even-shaped
potatoes that are as nearly as posslpie
all the same size. Wash Thoroughly,
dry, brush with melted fat or one OF
the cooking oils and BAN in hot oven
for 40 minutes, or until soft. If you
have an oven regulator, hot oven is
one that registers 400 degrees. When
the potatoes are done, remove ther2
from the oven and press each one all
over, holding 1t in a clean towel. This
helps to make it rslealy. Break each
paprika, or sprinkle the opening with
grated cheese and return to the oven
for a minute to melt the cheese.
French fried-Peel the potatoes, cut
in slices a quarter of an inch thick, and
then cut each slice in strips. Instead
of doing this you may use a regular
potato cutter that may be bought espe-
cially for the purpose. Drop the po-
tatoes into cold water as you cut them.
to keep them white. Drain and dry
thoroughly on clean towel.
Heat cooking oil. or any preferred fat,
in deep kettle, having it from one
fourth to one-third full. Potatoes con-
tain lot of water which will cause the
fat to bubble up when they are put into
it, so plenty of room must be allowed
so that the fat won't boil over.
Heat the fat until it will brown
piece of bread in one minute. Put in
the potatoes, and cook until we'll
Drowned. This will take anywhere
from 8 to IL minutes. Stir occasionally
while cooking. When done, skin from
the fat, drain on soft paper, sprinkle
with salt and serve hot. If you are
cooking many potatoes it is best to put
only part of them In the fat at time;
keep the cooked ones hot In the oven.

While Lois was visiting in Canada
she had seen clever way of curtain
ing pair of windows which were set
close together. Dividing them was only
a strip Of window casing about inches
wide. Had the windows been curtained
as two separate affairs there would have
been too much curtaining for windows
One would have lost the view because
Of the hangings. And. after all, views
and windows belong together.
A soft material with much rich red

The heading was laid in pleats. The
hangings were the entire length of the
window plus or 4 inches. This extra

AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One mother says:
Children of all ages like to play
Blind Man." but try it some time when
the littlest child is fretty and needs to
have change of mind in order to have
a change of heart. Have one OF
the older children blindfold him and
lead him very carefully through the
rooms for few minutes, then stop and
ask him to guess where he Is. Having
the blindfold taken of and finding out
where he really Is will give him great
thrill Of surprise and glee. This can be
played outdoors in Summer time.

WHEN Republicans and Democrats
" lock horns on the floor of Con-
t-ess one can always look for battle
byal. but when the two clash on a
question like prohibitio any
hing can happen.
For instance, one of the keenest polit-
tal fights in recent years was precipi-
eted on the floor of the House when
he proposal to increase prohibition en-
brcement funds by S24,000,000 came
lp. 1t was the amendment proposed
E Senator Harris (Democrat) Of
Georgia and passed by that body.
It was splendid situation for the
Democrats and they were out to make
he most of it.
Wood (Republican) of Indiana asked
hce. Garner (Democrat) of Texas was
IN his feet with the statement that
tlch procedure was agreeable to him II
lhe gentleman from Indiana would
lyree to bring it back to the House for
l1nsideration.
Garner Persists.
Wood thought that could be arranged,
crowded the Senate conferees did not
.ccede from their previous position. But
Farmer was not satisfied. He insisted
hat some assurance be given that the
amendment would be brought back.
The fight was on. Republicans rushed
hto the fray and Democratic reserves
hoved up.
Byrns (Democrat) Of Tennessee i'm
PATIENTLY reminded his colleagues that
his was a question of vital interest,
hat members of the House had right
b debate the matter, and that this
tould be brought about If the House
sonferees would merely tell their Senate
blends they had promised to bring the
amendment back.
Wood suggested that perhaps Byrns
Ind Garner did not have the proper
Nth in their Senate friends.
The gentleman from Texas couldn't
toeak for the gentleman from Tennes-
lee, but personally he didn't like the
!dea of depending on his Senate friends

Uncle Sam Offers His
Employees an Outing

Uncle Sam is preparing an outing
for his employees this summer.
through the cooperation of the Alaska
railroad, which is operated by the gov
eminent.
The outing embraces specially
conducted tour from the Capital to
Fairbanks, Alaska, leaving Washing
ton August % and returning 80 days
later. The expenses of all kinds will
be grouped under one lump sum, which
will be between $500 and $3.50.
The entire round trip will total H.
900 miles of travel and will include
both rail and steamship journeys.
If sufficient people arrange to take the
trip, special trains will be run from
Washington to Seattle, and steamers
from Seattle to Alaska will be run ex-
clusively for the excursionists.
While Alaska is the principal goal
of the trip, efforts will be made to
show as much of the western part of
the United States as possible. One
day, for instance, will be devoted to
sightseeing trips around Salt Lake City,
and Columbia River gorge, in Wash
ington, will be on the itinerary. The
northern trip from Seattle will be
through the famous scenic inside pas
sage.

Mysterious Jewelry

Little Betty was very fond of rings,
and her fingers were always bedecked
with all sorts of them. One day after
she had visited her aunt she told her
mother that she wanted a ring just
like auntie's. When asked what kind OF
ring auntie wore, she replied, "a mu-
steal ring"
"a musical ring" inquired the moth,
er, land what kind of ring is that?''
After turning this over in her mind
without solution, mother got the aunt
on the telephone, and much to her
amusement learned that auntie was
wearing a ''band" ring.
