In the effort to do away with some
of the usual complicated fastenings
on small boys suits, clothing special
lists of the bureau of home economics
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture have eliminated several
types Of belts and are suggesting I'M
provements in others. The belts that
had to be put through succession
of loops around the waist some of
them out of reach I'm back, were espe-
cially aggravating. This type OF belt
had to be pulled out and put back
whenever the trousers were unfas-
tened.
Nevertheless, having belt Of some
sort may be very real pleasure to
some small lads. They will not be
very critical about the Construction
of il, just so it is belt. The bureau

AS to the right hat for the right
occasion than a wide brimmed black
Milan, none other comes nearer to
registering 100 per cent perfect.
Wherefore the revival of broad-of-
brim fine black Milans for summer
will be hailed with delight by the
majority of women.
The beauty about these f1attering
big brims of fine, finer, finest Milan
straw is that they top fluttery, sum-
merry chiffons and other frocks as
sheer and dressy, quite as correctly
and charmingly as they do neat tai
lored silks or light woolens.
Most of the Milans coming over
from Paris seem to be going mush-
room although predictions are rife
that the pendulum Is apt to swing
back to the almost forgotten cart
wheel types.

Evening Fairy Tale for the Children

The button bush flowers aren't like
the big buttons one sees In a work
box.
So, really, there is no special reason
for such name. Each button bush
plant has great, great many flowers
upon 1t and each one Of these flow
ers is filled with the most delicious
honey.
There was going to be a banquet
that day, and the banquet table was to
be the bush.
1t was being held In the swamp
where the bush grew. Perhaps you
could say that the many, many flow
ers on the button bush looked little
bit like very small buttons, but any
way each Of these flowers was filed
with the most delicious honey.
when is the banquet to begin?"
asked one little flower.
"In very short time," said the
Button Bush.
Patience, though, little flowers. The
guests will come soon."
who are the guests to be?" asked
the flowers.
GAIL the little insects of the swamp"
said the Button Bush.
"Oh, goodie!" they said. "It will be
a great and magnificent banquet, a
great and gay banquet"
And they all looked very happy.
At last the guests began to arrive,
and once they had started to come it
seemed as though they would never
stop.
OF course, they held banquets every
day in the swamp, and many times a
day, but this was a very special
banquet.
One little insect was seated upon

!: HELPS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

Keep the percolator clean and well
aired. Coffee left standing will stain
the inside and may spoil the flavor of
the best brand.
Place wooden garments which are
to be dried indoors at some distance
from the stove or radiator, as excess
heat shrinks them.
Careless preparation Of vegetables,
especially overlooking, is often re-
sponsible for the anappetizing results
that find their way to many tables.
Overlooking the washing machine is
hard on both clothes and machine and

When making a circular skirt. let 1t
hang from the waist band for day
or two before finishing it off at the
bottom. This allows the bias seams
to stretch, and the skirt will not be as
likely to sag after 1t Is finished.

Our knowledge about vitamins has
been undergoing constant expansion.
1t is still far from complete. First
came recognition of the fact that in
natural food materials there ixisted,
in minute quantities, certain sub
stances other than proteins, fats. car
bohydrates and salts, which appeared
to be essential for normal nutrition.
Further investigation showed that
these substances, or vitamins, also
prevented various pathological condi-
lions or deficiency diseases" Early
in the work these separate vitamins
were identified, and called A, B. and
@. Each one had functions peculiar
to itself. Several years later two
more vitamins, D and e, were dis
covered. Comparatively recently it
has been found that another vitamin,
named G, occurs in a great many
foods which are also rich In vitamin
B. The Identification of vitamin G
was obscured for long time because
of this parallel occurrence.
The functions of the two vitamins
differ. vitamin B. prevents beri-beri,
while vitamin G prevents pellagra. An
abundance Of both vitaminS Is essen
tial for growth and well-being at all
ages, but particularly necessary for
nursing mothers and young children.
AS both occur to a large extent In the
same foods and In very wide va
riety of foods, varied diet contain
ing fruits and vegetables will usually
be satisfactory in respect to these two
factors. The bureau Of home econom-

Another Way to
Serve Eggplant

Here's an eggplant recipe from the
bureau of home economics which may
be new to those who have always fried
this vegetable.
1 large eggplant 1 quart canned
tbs. butter or or chopped raw
other fat tomatoes
green pepper, 2 tsp. salt
chopped Pepper
small onion, 1 cup bread
chopped crumbs
Pare the eggplant and cut 1t into
small, even pieces. Melt 2 tablespoon
fuls of the fat in a skillet, add the
green pepper and onion, and cook for
a few minutes. Add the tomatoes,
eggplant, salt, and pepper, cook for
ten minutes and place the mixture In
a shallow creased baking dish. Melt
the remaining fat In a skillet, stir In
ne bread crumbs, and sprinkle the
crumbs over the eggplant. Bake In a
moderate oven for Is minutes, or I'M

crumbs are Drowned.

Though practically the same amount
of food is needed in summer and win

of protein from eggs, milk, cheese,

GASOLINE PRICE.
PUSHED

Despite the usual stimulus of
decreasing supplies and expand
ing consumption, prices of gaso-
line during recent months have
been under constant pressure, and
current levels are well below
both the high for this year and
the quotations of a year ago.
This contrary trend is largely ac-
counted for by the relatively high
level of inventories despite heavy
Withdrawals and by the keen
competition prevailing between
the large refining and marketing
organizations, says the Standard
