KIND OF CURTAIN FOR BEDROOM WINDOWS

rather small window. The length of
the side draperles in this case was
governed by the desire to make the
window seem longer and the room
slightly formal in treatment. The pat
termed material was also chosen to
bring out the window as point OF
interest, and to make contrast with
the plain walls. Sometimes the choice
Of longer or shorter side curtains is
governed by the prevailing style
among decorators, but more often 1t
is decided by the needs of particu-
lar room and the likes of the individ-
ual. If there had been a radiator I'M
der the window in this case it would
have been advisable to use draperies
extending to the apron edge only.
There is no valance, as line cross

curtains of natural theatrical gauze,
which match the background of the
drapery, are shirred on rod with

Of good quality, fast-colored cretonne,
unlined, and finished with an invisi-
BILE handsewn hem. They are laid in
french pleats and attached to rings
which enable them to be drawn across
the window on the outer pole.

that the body has ability to store
some of vitamin A for future needs,

the first cold months. TO keep up
bodily resistance this fall and winter,
everyone needs to keep a generous
supply of this "anti-infective" vitamin
in their diet.
Butter, cream, dairy products, eggs,
liver, green leafy vegetables and cod
liver oil are our richest sources Of
vitamin A. During the winter when

cooked by any preferred method If
gas oven is used, have the chops
two or three inches below a moderate
fame. Scar them on both sides. Then
lower the flame and continue the cook
ing at reduced temperature. Turn the
chops occasionally, but do not prick
the brown crust. Do not let the bacon
scorch. It may be found more con-
venient, after soaring the chops under
the flame, to transfer the broiler to a
moderately hot oven (375 degrees to
400 degrees Fahrenheit) to finish the
cooking.
If the chops are to be pan-broiled
in very heavy skillet heated sizzling
hot, they may be scared quickly first
on both sides and then, with rack
slipped under them, finished in mod
erately hot oven. BY either method,
double loin chops from one and one
half to two inches thick require % to

EVENING STORY FOR CHILDREN

You see, the whippoorwill will not
sing in captivity. He is utterly miser-
able then, and he longs to be back
where he can be alone.

dark, we can sometimes hear his glor-

insects when they are flying.
The whippoorwils enjoy eating the
insects for breakfast and dinner, and
they do away with insects which would
otherwise injure shrubs and trees.

Choice of plain or figured over
draperies for any window is regulated
by the background furnished by the
walls. If the wallpaper is figured,
plain-colored drapery is almost obliga-
tory. Patterned side curtains would re-
suit in confusion of lines, design, and
colors. But if the walls are tinted or
papered in plain background color,
definite patterns and vivid shades may
be used for side draperies with good

; Are a Tasty Dish

Lamb is in season all the year
round, and in most seasons is very
reasonable in price, despite the opin-
ion of those who think only of legs
and chops.
OF course, shot house" lambs, sup
piled through the winter from as early
as Christmas, are luxury, for much
care and expense is required in pro-
ducing them.
easter" lambs come next, and in
this season the term genuine" is in
use, to differentiate between real
lambs and small yearlings which
might pass as lambs.

up of tender cuts, so the inexpensive
cuts can be made into delicious dishes
without difficulty: Saratoga chops,
saratoga noisettes, stuffed breast,
lamb pie. etc.-The Farm Journal.

E0R CONSTIPATION
Noted English Writer
Won't "Play" Typewriter

When l was in London in 1928
John Galsworthy showed me the
manuscripts of nearly all his books.
He cannot dictate and cannot play
the typewriter; thus they are all in
pen and ink, and their commercial
value must be prodigious.
Prof Carlton Wells of the Univer-
sity of Michigan calls my attention
to an article in review, quoting
the Manchester Guardian, as follows:
"They are worth a small fortune
and they are certain to appreciate
greatly in years to come. No other
English writer, with the possible ex-
ception of Shaw, has such vogue
abroad, and almost every month sees
an advance in the prices of his first
editions.
"Galsworthy is one of the few mod
ern authors who write everything in
their own hand. He once told me
that he found it impossible to think
with typewriter in front Of him,
and he raised his eyes in mock hor-
ror when l mentioned the dictaphone.
I'm his study at Hampstead all his
manuscripts are carefully preserved
in a row of red morocco boxes shaped
like book covers. Those he has pre-
scented to the British museum are to
be seen in the Greville room."-Wil-

with wire in the yard all ready for
you.
II will not keep you in cage. That
would be cruel"
The boy had not thought that it
would be cruel to keep the whippoor-
will anyway-the bird who loves soli-
tude or being alone.
At night he listened to hear his
whippoorwill sing, but never a sound
did he make.
Then he thought 1t was because Mr..
Whippoorwill was without his mate
and after long time he caught Mrs.
Whippoorwill.
Now he would surely have the glorl-
GUS whippoorwill singing every eve
ning-so he thought.
But not a sound did he hear. In
fact they seemed to have forgotten
their note.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1930-12-05

The whippoorwills love the night
time, and one evening boy thought
he would like to catch a whippoor-
will and have him for pet.
He loved the wonderful song of
the whippoorwill, which is beauti-
full, rather sad note.
The whippoorwills only sing when
away from people. and they love to
be by themselves.
That is why they choose their homes
away in the woods, away from people.
At first the boy heard the whip
poorwills singing their sad, lovely note
over and over again.
Then he tried to catch them, but
they fly off SO silently always that
he could not do that.

NORFOLK, WESTERN
SETS NEW RECORDS
Gross and Net Earnings
Made Gains in Every Month
During Past Year.

The Norfolk g. Western Railway set
new records in all phases of its oper-
ations last year, with the single excep-
ton of gross revenues, which were eX-
ceeded in 1926. Net railway operating
income reached new high record, and
both gross and net were ahead of every
corresponding month of 1928.
Net income after taxes and charges,
and earnings per share on the common
stock, attained new highs. Operating
ratios were the lowest in the roads his
tory. Toward the end of the year con-
dition of both cars and locomotives
showed an improvement over the pre-
ceding year and was the best, by a con-
siderable margin, of any OF the large
roads OF the country.
Norfolk & Westerns gross last year
totaled $ll763l ISL, a gain of 10 per
cent over the $lO6,9 47,l Ill of the pre-
VlouS year. Throughout 1929, the Wall
Street Journal notes, gross remained at
levels above 1928, even showing a 2.6
per cent increase in December, a month
IN which the great majority of the
country's railroads were showing sub
Stantial recessionS
Against an increase Of $I0,684, $40 in
gross was an increase in net operating
revenues of 1,155,088, rejecting ability
OF the road to carry through to

dend recently was increased to $40 an
