Those Good Old DAYS

Before the time when 1t became
possible TO print illustrations in col
or did magazines and other periodi-
Gals have colored pictures? Offhand,
we would say no rather emphati-
cally.
However, We would be wrong. Co
dey magazine which came into ex-
istence IN 1880 or thereabouts, print

that was hand-painted. And the
magazine IS said to have had q cir

must have been. Hundreds. possibly
thousands. of persons must have

DELAY IN PAINTING
OFTEN FOUND COSTLY

Repainting of buildings should not
be delayed until the old coating has
faxed badly enough to expose much
bare wood, for coatings often fail to
give adequate protection against
weathering long before they become
unsightly, the Forest, United States
Department of Agriculture, says.
The old coating serves as the
foundation for the new one and if it
is badly Clipped and broken custom
airy methods of repainting fail in
both appearance and durability. Flat
grained boards of some species that
hold their paint well because of their
low content of summer wood may
need repainting long before they be-
come unsightly.
Conspicuous wood checks or
cracks show clearly that the wood is
no longer receiving sufficient pro-
lection even though the coating is
apparently intact. Repainting neith-
er heals nor entirely cOnceals wealth
eTing damage that has become con-
scuous, but if the wood is repainted
promptly when minute wood checks
begin to appear, it can be protected
from weathering indefinitely

The Eats
But the eats are the thing,
after all, which make or mar the
pleasure of a picnic. Sandwiches
have always been the backbone Of
picnic provender, and. thanks to
canned foods, there are now
much greater variety Of them than
formerly which can be quickly
and easily prepared.
It is a good plan to slice your
bread, wrap it in a damp cloth
to keep it soft, and spread it with
the sandwich filings after you
have reached the spot where you
are going to eat. There are all

Tongue and Mushroom Sand
1cich: Shred the contents of one
can of cooked tongue. and add
one-half cup chopped canned
mushrooms, two tablespoons
chopped dill pickles and three
tablespoons Thousand Island
dressing. Use between either white
or whole wheat bread.
Vienna Sandwich: Cut the
contents of a can Of Vienna

India Relish, or chopped sweet
pickle, and cover with another
slice of bread spread with butter

Don't Forget the Beans
There are delicious beans now
adays that are baked before they
are canned, and have all the sue
culence and SAVIOR of the hest
beans you have ever eaten, These
are known as New England brick
oven-baked beans. Only the choic-
est quality of ingredients are used
in packing them, including
genuine small white pea beans
and liberal quantities of sugar,
spices and pork.
To process these, the raw beans,
after soaking and parboiling, to-
gether with all the other ingre-
dients, are put together in large
open pots. These pots are then
placed in large dry-heated brick
ovens, and baked for many hours
with the addition of more sauce
from time to time. This long, slow
baking process produces a tender
ness and flavor not obtainable by
other methods, and the flavor of
the sauce and pork is baked into
the beans"

XTOU cant have any picnic
provender without something
to carry it in, even if it's
nothing but an old shoe box. But
picnics have become so increas-
ingly popular that people have
taken a lot of trouble lately to
invent all sorts of cOnveniences
for them. The next step beyond
the shoe box is a basket, and the
next step beyond that is regular
picnic kit consisting Of a small
suitcase fitted with knives, forks
and spoons, plates, salt and pepper
boxes and metal compartments
for food.
The suitcase sounds pretty lux
urious, but picnics have become
luxurious, and now include foods
that are both very hot and very
cold. To keep these at the proper
temperatures modern vacuum
equipment is necessary. There are
nickel food jars in various sizes,
vacuum bottles, and big vacuum
Jars for large quantities of hot
food or ice cream. There are even
little aluminium cups with detach-
able handles. These are made so
that they will nest into each
other in a compact manner and
occupy little storage space.
Outdoor Comfort
II there are older people at the
picnic who do not care about
sprawling on the sometimes
lumpy grass, there are folding
chairs with seats of gaily striped
canvas that can be taken along.
There have been luxurious pic
nickers who even took along an
army cot which could be set up in
a minute, but most people with a
real soul for picnicking prefer to
take their siestas down on the
sweet smelling grass.
1t is never a mistake, however,

Rel Southern Musicians

New York City.-Saxophones

many years in public prints, spoE-

it was a business executive who

small orchestra combination who
first suggested using the saxo-

Talkies Creating Set Of
Artists to Meet :
Their Demands

New York City.-The talkies are
revolutionizing plays, music and
lyrics. A new technique, all sound,
must be devised as a result.
So says Alma Rubcns, famous
stage and screen star, who thinks
that a new crop of writer's will
spring up to meet the new de-
mands just as a new crop OF see
mario writer's spTang up in Hol~

"The requirements FOR the new
playwright are different end far
more varied than those OF the Dlav-

rical audience" says Miss Rubens.
"The talkie playwright must be
able to appeal to millions simulta-
ncously, where the stage author
only had to appeal to hundreds.
"The stage, was a class produc-
tion for certain types of people 60
ing to certain types of plays, but
for pictures, which are shown
everywhere, there must be a uni
versal appeal. The music, too,
must be something new. The old
noisy rhvthms are out of date.
Sweet ballad types that paint a
beautiful picture in a beautiful
way, something delightful for a
dancer or singer to visualize, are
favored. Down the River of

New York City.-That broad
casting has done more than any
other agency to give the natural,
unframed singer an opportunity
is the opinion Of Lillian Dawson,
famous radio crooner.
"Crooning which has become 50
popular cannot be done according
to rule and rote Of the singing
teachers" declares Miss Dawson
"In fact, it is contrary to all ac-
cepted rules Of the great masters
but nevertheless a new sweet tone

SardineS on Toast
By Janet Houston

Sardines become the delicacies
they are only after preliminary
scientific preparation. Caught "on
the rum" as it were, the sardines
are taken in .etfuls from the salt
waters off the coast of Maine to the
canneries of that state, where they
are given the "sun cure" and steam
boiled. Then they are tucked into
little tin cans brimming over with
oil or, less frequently, filled with
tomato sauce or with mustard.
One of the largest chains of
restaurants in America makes an
occasional feature of this dish and,
you may take my word for it, sar-
dimes on toast are delicious!
Put two tablespoonsful of butter
in pan to melt. Add two table
spoonsful of -four. Stir until
smooth and Drowned a little. Add
a half cup of soup stock. Stir
until thick. Then add cup of sar-
dimes from which the bones and
skin have been removed. Serve
very hot on rounds of toast.
