n LREADY the merchants are
~ warning that there are only
L a hundred more or less shop
ping days before Christmas. After
you have spent day shopping in
the Christmas crowd the pursuit
of gifts seems most exhausting
experience. During this busy sea-
son there. will be days when you
will not want to spend much time
getting meals.
Every woman has a few quick
tricks up her sleeve when IL comes
to getting meals in hurry. Hot
biscuits are one OF the quickest
tricks. Most women can stir up
a batch Of mullins in five minutes.
or course, the quicker these breads
are mixed up the better the biscuit.
No one would suspect that a
dessert like orange custard has
been rush order. Orange custard
is partly prepared in the morning
because the custard part OF the
dessert has to be chilled. PAIRING
and slicing the oranges is all that
has to be done at dinner time.
We always endorse the can
opener but at moments like these
you just can't get along without it.
Since so many dishes for dinner
and supper require milk be sure to
have supply OF evaporated milk
on your pantry shelves. There is
nothing more exasperating than
running out Of milk when you are
trying to prepare tasty and nutri-
tious meal in a hurry.

IILIABN MACHINES

This business ot inventing new machines is going too far For in- stance. there is the newfangled mtehrophone and phonograph con- ,raq,lon which is designed to sing the bahy to sleep with lulIabics,
 Tn the first place. the lullaby in- da~rry has always been greatly overdono, Not one baby in q thou sand has ever needed someone to sing a lullaby before going to sletp. The suprositlon that mothers lean oyer tha crib and croon a lullaby is all hosh. All healthy babies go to sleep when they are sleepy and they need no Iullahies The average mother places them in the crib and if there 3s any singing or croontng necessary the child attends 10 that itself until the eyelds close and the trip to slumberland commences,
 An automatic lullaby machine would he q useless incumhrance about the house. l. would he in the way, being just one more aqplj- anoa eating up electric current.

 l would like to ask what IS wrong with our school board?
 Why do they use so much print or's ink 10 show their right to wear the purple robe?
 Have they a right 10 claim them- selves beyond repr0ach?
 Isn't it a little bit absurd, in this time of starvation, for q school lead CT 10 propose new taxes for others? Dld the Romans have marble halls and bathing pools similar to our high school?
 Where are the Romans now?
 Why do our factories and business blocks, built long before, and used much harder than our school builds ings, rank as first class buildings long after school buildings are said 10 be unsafe and unsanitary?
 Why do school boards demand the best possible tools and give in- ferior results?

AN HONEST DEBT

An honest debt is no crlme.
 Once upon q time. when he human race was steeped In folly, debtors were jailed. Gradually when 1t was found that terms in the goals did rot assist them in paying their debts. and the fact Of such punish- ment did not prevent others from slipping into honest difficulties. the iaiIs-for-dehtors system failed to survive.
 Nowadays. in civilized countries. debts result in suits, And if that doesn't do any good, if is simply too bad.
 Judge saxe had an honest debtor before him the other day. The man vas only one of thousands eXtant The poor fellow had contracted a grocery bill which he couldn't pay very readily. The grocer filed his claim in the small claims court and then there was an explanation.

school Architects 1

Editor New Britain Herald
 Your editorial of Saturday re- carding the grievance of local archi- tects was very fair 10 the profes- sion, There was an implication. however. that the local architects charged more than 1he Michigan firm now planning the public school buildings. This is not the case. The foe for planning school buildings was set sometime ago by the school ac- commodations committee al the time Mir. DoWnes was engaged as supervisor of construction, and has been accepted, as the school ac- commodations committee knows. by all architects All things are equal and this business should he kept local.
 At least &3o,ooo of the cjty's money 1.p 10 The present time has gone out to Michigan while a num- bar CT local architectural drafts mon arr in actual want.
 Why should this practice contin- l.e. especially al a time like this?
 Every local architect is tax payer, h. is expected 0 spend To- caIIy and do his part for the Com mgnity Chest and ether charitable enterprises Is not the city losing by allowing this condition to con- unuc?
