Two Kinds of Ice Cream
Easily Made at Home

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )-WNU Service.
Here are two kinds of ice cream

easily made if you have freezer, and
the ingredients can be obtained almost
anywhere. The recipes are from the
bureau of home economics of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.

of ice and turn the freezer slowly.
After freezing, remove the dasher,
pack the freezer with more ice and
salt and let stand for an hour or more

Evening Story for the Children

enjoyed playing and writing their LET
tiers in mud.
But after time it became too great
an effort and the weather became so
warm.
So Peter GnOme said they would all
have summer vacation. He was not
sure whether he would continue the
school in the fall.
The pigs, after all, didn't care so
very much about being WISE And they
said they had nothing great in the way
of career or future, so why go to so
much trouble?
And there was good sense to that.
Don't you think so?

THE PIG SCHOOL

The pigs all had their stone states
and their sharp stone pencils and were
practicing their letters every little
while.
They were writing beautiful big P's,
for their family name, more often than
any other letter.
Right on time came Peter Gnome.
their teacher. He was wearing tall
green hat and green spectacles on his
nose.
The gnomes had told him that his
costume was rather gay for a teacher
of pigs, but Peter had the idea that
he must impress the pigs with cleanli-
ness and attractiveness-for as he so
truly said. they would just as soon
wear tall hats and tall boots OF mud
AS for the fairies who came to see
how Peter Gnomes funny school was
getting along-they came dressed in
soft gray dresses with gray wings and
silver gray wands.
They had said they wanted to look
like little school fairies.
Soon Peter Gnome began his teach
ing. All the little pigs stood up and
recited in chorus the many wise things
Peter had taught them all about; how
clean and neat they should be in order
to be thought well of-and to give peo-
pie different idea than that the very
name of pig meant dirt and mud.
Then the pigs sang their school sing
ing. Peter called it singing to encour-
age them.
But they often called it the Pigs
Bagpipe Orchestra. And some of the
little pigs had become so proud OF
themselves since they had been going
to Peter Gnome's school that they
thought their squeals were every bit
as good as some bands.
After that Pinky Pig got up and

!: Hints for Housekeepers

Children's clothes should not bind
at any point.
If your child dislikes eggs as eggs,
try giving them to him in custards or
eggnogs.
Well-lighted rooms help to make
home CHEEKY as well as healthful and
efficient.
If dishes must stand overnight, save
work by rinsing them well before they
are stacked.
A closed, curtained shelf over the
kitchen work table helps the house
wife to save steps.
A rack for holding knives placed on
the kitchen wall above the work table
is a simple and convenient piece of
equipment.
Water-tight paper cups with tight
fitting covers are convenient contain
ers for salads, cut fruit, custards, and
jellies in the school lunch box.
Holidays will be happier for the
children if they are allowed to share
in the festivities but kept TO their reg
ular schedule of sleep and simple
wholesome food.
Proper care prolongs the life of any
mattress. Turn often, air and sun sew
eral times year and clean frequently
with whisk broom or the hand at
tachment of vacuum cleaner.
If you wish TO iron a rugh-dry gar
ment in a hurry, dampen it with hot
water, roll it tightly in cloth and
place it on hot radiator or over the
oven while the iron is heating.

a small design. Since the pattern in
this material is an all-over one the

mark the seam lines with chalk or

Father of the Silhouette

The silhouette is named for Etienne
de Silhouette, who was born in 1907
and died in 1869. He was French
minister of finance, who was so rig
idly economical that he often with
held funds from worthy subjects. His
name came to be applied to anything
imperfect or incomplete. Silhouettes
were first popular in 1850. They are
made now as they were formerly, by
cutting out pictures from black paper.

TURKEYS BREAK

On April 20, 1917, the Turkish gov

American embassy that diplomatic
relations with the United States had
been broken off.
Abram Elkus, the American am
bassador, was i'll with typhus fever at
the time, and was compelled to re-
main at Constantinople for some
weeks afterward. His staff remained
with him.
Three days later the American state
department gave passports to Abdul
Hak Hussein Bey, first secretary and
charge d'affaires of the embassy, and
other members of the staff. The
Turkish ambassador, A. Rustem Bey,
was recalled by the government early
in the war on account of injudicious
criticisms of the president.
