I'D you ever stop to think Of the
possibilities of an ordinary recipe
for custard? Just plain, unadulterated
custard-the sort that you send to in
valids and feed TO babies. The sort
that tastes great deal better than
most people suppose.
Well, q custard recipe is TO be cher
ished because it can do q lot of clever
things. Especially now when eggs are
cheap and the price of milk is down in
many localities And especially il there
are children or any other members Of
the family who need to have plenty of
eggs and milk in their diets.
First, we'll have the basic recipe. And
afterward the various possibilities.
Baked custard requires two eggs. two
cups milk, four tablespoons sugar, pinch
salt, few grains of nutmeg and one
quarter teaspoon vanilla.
Beat the eggs very slightly and add
the sugar. salt and nutmeg Add the
milk, stirring well to mix the eggs
evenly Add vanilla. Pour into 3
creased baking dish. Set in q shallow
pan In which there is q little water and
comes out clean and uncoated
It takes the custard quite q while to
bake. Set the oven at $50 and bake for
at least an hour. II you want to bake
the small individual custards they will
bake in less time--from IS to As min
uteS
II you want to turn the small custsrd
out of the nolds whole finstead OF serv-
ing right in the cups) be sure to grease
the cups very well, then loosen the
custard with a sharp knife. Custards
don't always fall out quite SO easily as
a pudding that Is q little more COM
pact, not quite so soft and slitherv
You must dress ilp your cuStard to
take 1t out of the Decent dessert class
and put 1t into the S5-cent class.
Serve it with chocolate sauce and
. sprinkling of rolled or ground maca-
rooms. And Just q word about macs-
roons-thoSe lovely. gooey. sticky ones
may be splendid to eat plain, but to
roll or grind they are q dead loss.
Get the crisp kind which aren't so ex-
pensive. but which serve this purpose
so much better
Here are two. recipes for chocolate
sauce. The first one Is simpler and less
expensive. The second one Is rich and
takes . little more ont OF the budget.

in America graduates girls only when
they have shown proficiency in SWIM
ming That's education.
A foot ball coach recently printed his
instructions for breathing, and naiVely
enough he endowed the diaphragm with
the power to squeeze sir out of the
lungs. The Creator, having no coach,
rugged it to draw air into the lungs. 1t
served in that capacity quite Satjsfac-
torily until some genius discovered the
corset. For several generations then
the diaphragm was of little use.
Women wore stays nearly long
enough to tablish a new style of
breathing, that is mainly with the up
per chest. But physical education ar
rived in time to save the race. Now
women are learning how to breathe
naturally, that is, mainly with the dia-
phragm That accounts for the fact
that they have gained more in lung ca
pacity than they have in chest ex-
pansion.

problem is not 50 hard. There may be
a good conservatory in your city, and
IL it is bgh-clsss place you will
probably be taught for nothing. II you
don't know Of any such place, write
letter either to the Jlllisrd Founda-
ton, New York City. or 10 the Curtis
School Of Music. Philadelphia. Both
of these institutions are in touch with
the music situation in America and
they can tell you what TO do and where
you can get free lessons II you have
sufficient promise But II your agility
Is just average or a little more, your
best plan is, as I said before. to Use
the music for ycur own pleasure and
the pleasure OF your friends, ana make
living some other way.
Something similar might be said
about dancing. If you are very beau
tiful and dance pretty well, you may
get q job IN the chorus of a musical
comedy, but you know how many girls
try to get these jobs and how hard they
are after you get them.
If you are great dancer you need
no advice from me. You will find your
own way. because there's no art more
fully appreciated in America than
dancing
If you are Just a good dancer you
will have an easier time than good
musician because there's plenty CT work
for dancing teachers.
Girls VINO can dance well have q
fine muscular control of their bodies,
and can easily turn themselves into
physical instructors. They can then
take care Of swimming or gymnasium
work at camps or schools.
Girls having problems IN connection with
their work may write to Miss woodward in
care Of this paper, for her personal advice.

Baby blankets NAV be crocheted, knit
or made of soft textile such ss fian-
mel or heavier material resembling
lambs wool. Or the blanket may be
of silk interlined with wool Wadding
and be quilted. Such blankets are
beautiful for baby carriage robes and
crib coverlets. but are not well adapted
TO cuddling about an infant.
For the first blankets nothing is quite
so good as the knit ones. The yarn
should be very soft, fine and heecy. II
knit on small needles the blanket will
have close weave.
Sometimes two strands sre used of
contrasting colors, such as pink snd
white or blue and white. COarser nee
dies are used and the two colors are
knit as one strand. except where a
border stripe Is introduced, which may
be OF either solid color. Then the
contrasting color is discarded and two
strands of the same are used together.
While the weave will be looser, the
double yarn will supply the increased
warmth.
Crocheted baby blankets are the most
adaptable. for they ere equally well
suited to indoor and outdoor use. For
the former blanket use f1ne, soft warn.
small or medium sire crochet hook
and . rather loose tension or stitch
FOR the outdoor OF carriage blanket use

A crocheted carriage blanket with .

or, better still, the ducks can be cro-
cheted in one with the blanket. Use

Man IN TOWER
TABS FIRES

In a little tower room, high
sbove the tallest tree in the
vicinity Of Hillmeade, Md, on the
Defense Highway, stands E. o.
Brown, towerman of the new
fire observatory of the State
Forestry Division. All day he
watches the country side.
At the slightest burst of smoke
he reads his chart, and, if no
one has applied for permission to
burn brush in the vicinity, he
calls the tower at Muirkirk,
where Dan Wiseman. smoke
chaser, is awaiting calls. Wise
man is given instructions by
phone, locates the blaze, and calls
the engines.
The tower at Hillmeade was
opened yesterday. Before noon
three forest fires had been
sighted.
Yesterdays first visitors to the
tower were 1t. Charles Bickerd
and Earl Woods. OF the Glenn
Dale Fire Department. A registry
book is kept for visitors. .
The new tower is 10 feet high,
and is so constructed as to per-
NIT an air beacon on the roof
if needed.
