Make Profitable Use of
Time to Get Results

Sometimes we are so utterly dull
and out of touch with the stimulus
of life that we complain how time
hangs upon our hands. The truth is,
time neither flies nor remains still.
1t moves onward at exactly the same
rate today as 1t did million years
ago. What is happening is an altera-
tlon in our reaction to time. All these
points Of view arise out Of changed
state of our mind. One moment we
see things one way-the next the
same things have an entirely differ
ent color. That is why, one day, time
seems to be fleeting, and another to
drag.
Time is always with us, and all we
have to do is to occupy ourselves in
a way that will produce the best and
greatest results. This means thinking
on constructive basis, so that every
moment of life is spent in such a
manner as to have in it but mini
mum of waste.-EXchange

ASPARAGUS ON
BUTTERED TOAST

Cook the asparagus as quickly as
possible, but cook 1t gently, by sim
mering, to avoid breaking off the ten
der heads and toughening the stalks.
Quick cooking preserves it's nutrients,
its color, and it's flavor. The bureau
of home economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture
says, "Wash the asparagus we'll.
scrape off the little scales with
knife to remove all sand. and trim
off the tough lower ends. Leave the
stalks whole or cut into pinch pieces.
Drop into small quantity Of lightly
sailed boiling water, simmer for from
Is to 20 minutes, drain, and arrange
neatly on thin slices of buttered toast.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, pour
melted butter or other fat over the
top, and serve at once"

The afternoon rrock is again impor-
tant in the fashion world. Was a time,
not so long since, when we really for
got, or rather the style program did
not demand that we change our clothes
for each passing daytime social event.
Sports, sports, how monotonous it
grew to be wearing sports clothes for
breakfast, luncheon, theater, bridge
tea, and even dinner.
The real reason we did it was be-
cause there actually were no definite
luncheon, afternoon and tea fashions
Having reached the point where sports
clothes were accepted even by "the
best of regulated dressers as appro
pirate as anything, we sometimes be-
came totally resigned, and just wore
them on through the dinner hour.
Admitted that we were not pictur-
esque or even particularly pretty thus
uniformed? We believe the answer is
unanimously in the affirmative, or
rather the negative-we were not!
To improve the point that all this
is changed the illustration shows
charmingly informal afternoon frock
of embroidered durene cotton. 1t looks,
as it should. according to the present
call of the mode, decidedly afternoon

HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEpERS

Light colored walls in the kitchen
reflect and diffuse light and help to
make the room convenient workshop.
Summer clothes for the child should
be light, airy. and easy to launder
and they should absorb moisture
readily.
Frequent turning, summing, ana
cleaning with a brush or vacuum
cleaner attachment make a mattress
last longer and more comfortable as
we'll.
A convenient way to serve raw vege-
tables to the child is to chop them
fine and use as filling in small whole
wheat bread sandwiches. Chopped
celery, carrots, spinach, lettuce or
cabbage seasoned with little salt help
supply the minerals and vitamins
needed for health and growth.

up to them, and it makes everyone
happy"

are so many nice people, men and
women, boys and girls, and animals,
too, that they should be made happy
by hearing that they are liked"

my story then. eh?' asked Fred.

Testing Sheets for Endurance

sheets for service on one floor of the
hotel.
Each sheet Is marked with num-
Der for Identification whenever 1t is
laundered. Every morning the used
sheets of this lot are collected by
themselves and sent to the hotel laun-
dry. There they are washed sep
arately, but in the same manner as
the other linen used In the hotel. A
specialist from the textile and cloth.
ing division is present throughout the
laundering process, timing the sheets
in the machine and in the rinse wa.
tiers and checking the numbers on
those which are washed. Thus, at any
stage of the experiment 1t is possible
to tell how many times a given sheet
has been used.
When the first breaks begin to ap-
pear in these sheets samples will be
withdrawn for laboratory tests, and
at the conclusion Of the study all the
discarded sheets will be examined for
areas of greatest wear.
1t is hoped that this study will lead
to others linking the production OF
textile fibers more closely with quail
ity and performance requirements in
the finished articles. Up to the pres
ent very little attention has been
given to this aspect of agricultural
production of textile fbers.

All of which goes to show that the
