dence games and other crooked
devices have been on the decline
for some time.
Where have they gone? Into
bootlegging, rum-running and cas-

so great, and profits greater,

police today make it hard for
the smoothest of professional

The Vienna Public School is
without water and the principal
has notified the children that if
they want to wet their palates
In the course Of the day, they
viii have to carry their own
water along.
Well Goes Dry
The school recently was fully
equipped with drinking fountains,
washstands and modern toilets,
but the schools well has gone
dry and no water is available.
The town council is puzzled
over what to do. It decided to
ask for donations to- pay for
drilling new school wen, but the
people of the community spurned
this suggestion. complaining that
they already paid high taxes and
they thought there ought to be
money available In the treasury
to provide for the new well. The
council says no funds are avail
able.
Water So q Foot
On top of these troubles,
profiteering has sprung up. Well.
diggers are making fancy wages.
Previously unemployed persons
who are inexperienced at well
digging and are without proper
equipment are getting out picks
and shovels and digging for
water at the rate of So q foot.

NANCY PAGE
Help Self to Cruller,
Doughnut or Cake.
By FLORENCE LA aASKE.

''Now we are not going to start Q
controversy. You may call them dough-
nuts or crullers or fried cakes. don't
care what you call them just so long as
Nancy Page makes them" The speaker
was the clergyman at the church supper.
In honor of the Halloween season the
desert was doughnuts, served warm and
sugary with cheese and cider.
Nancy made the doughnuts at home
and then took them over in paper bags.
Later these bags with open top twisted
tightly shut were put into the oven to
heat their contents-the doughnuts just
the color Of a baby robin breast.
To powder the doughnuts Nancy put
the confectioner'S sugar into the bag
and then shook a few doughnuts up and
down within the bag. She did this, Of
course, before the doughnuts were
heated.
This is the recipe Nancy used-she
creamed three level tablespoonfuls but
three eggs beaten until light and COM
bined with one-half cupful sugar. Then
she Sifted, measured and sifted four
cupfuls -four with four teaspoonfuls
baking powder, one and one-half tea
spoonfuls salt, one-quarter teaSpoonful
grated nutmeg and cinnamon. She
added this to first mixture and added
just enough more flour to make mixture
stiff enough to rob. She put part of
dough on lightly Toured board, patted
1t out to one-third inch thickness, cut
with doughnut cutter dipped in -four
and friend in deep fat heated to $50
Fahrenheit. Had she not had q deep
fat thermometer she would have heated
fat to point where it would brown a one
inch cube Of soft bread in one minute.
She turned the doughnuts Just once in
cooking them. They were drained on
absorbent paper and sugared.

Of such kind. This Is one reason why
slip covers are taken on in Winter.
They are of cotton or linen and are
chosen because these textiles look and
feel cool It requires the warmth Of
Winter textiles to stress comfort in
Winter decoration.
Furniture grouped around an open
fireplace gives an immediate hint of
warm comfort in Winter. In a room
that is very sunny and which Is occu-
pied chiefly in day time, the windows
can be cerSters of attention, each hav-
ing its particular decorative feature.
For instance, o writing desk may be
by one with its accompanying chair,
while by another a wing or easy chair
with side table or sewing cabinet con-
yeniently close Is inviting. If lighting
fixtllres or lamps are poSitioned to pro-
vide q warm glow near the windows In
the evening this arrangement can be
pleasing both day and night.
It will be seen that transforma-
tions from Summer to Winter decora-
ton for rooms may be brought about
by arrangements Of furnishings and
by accenting furniture. which in shape
or in upholstery suggest warmth. It is
not essential to get new things but TO
use what you have correctly for the
