BY craft and guile we may attain

Mrs. Speckles is an opportunist. An
opportunist is, you know. one who is
always ready to take advantage Of OPP
portunity and make the most of it.
regardless of right and wrong. Such
people are likely to be crafty and filled
with guilt. Mrs. Speckles the Startling
is that kind. The rights of others
mean nothing to her. Her chief con-
Germ is to get what she wants when
she wants it. 1t is nothing to her that
a house has been made in a certain
family among her feathered neighbors
for many years. If she wants that
house and has a chance to take pos
session, she doesn't hesitate to do so.
This is one reason that she and
Speckles are heartily disliked in the Old
Orchard and everywhere else where
they have neighborS.
Now, Mrs. Speckles had been aiding
Speckles in his fight with Yellow Wing
the Flicker, but all the time she had
been keeping a watchful eye on Mrs.
Yellow Wing sitting in the doorway of
her new home and screaming excitedly
as she watched the battle. When she
saw Yellow Wing getting the worst of
it. for he was fighting two, she forgot
everything but a great desire to take
part in that battle and help drive those
low Wings aid.
Now this was just what Mrs. Speckles
had been hoping and watching for The
instant Mrs. Yellow Wing left that hole
in the telegraph pole and started down
to aid her mate, Mrs. Speckles started
up. She deserted Speckles and made
straight for that doorway Mrs. yellow
Wing had just left.
"Speckles doesn't need my help"
thought she. He can always fly away
il they are too much for him. He is
quicker in the air than they are and
he can keep them busy without my
help. Meanwhile I'll get possession of
that house, and once 1 am in it, let
them get me out if they can"
So 1t was that by the time Mrs. yell
low Wing had joined in the fight on
the ground, Mrs. Speckles was occupy
irg her former place in the doorway
of that new house he and Mrs. yell
low Wing had worked so hard to cut
out in the telegraph pole. Now that
the tables were turned and Speckles
found that the odds against him were
two to one, he withdrew from the fight,
or at least pretended to. Yellow Wing
followed him. Mrs. Yellow Wing, with
a scream of triumph, made final dash
at him and then turned to go back
to that precious home. There sat Mrs.
Speckles in the doorway. quite filling
it. Her eyes fairly snapped with tri-
umph.

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.

Real Boston baked beans are difficult
to prepare in our modern gas ovens.
Some women prefer, therefore, canned
baked beans to the kind they can pre-
pare at home. Some cook beans in the
Winter quite satisfactorily by leaving
the bean pot on ledge inside the fur
mace door. This is nuisance, as the
pot has to be removed every time coal
is put on the fire.
It is, Of course possible to bake beans
in a gas oven. Begin in the regular
and washing, all night. Then next
morning put them in a kettle with hot
water to cover. Let them come to a
boil. Now proceed differently from the
regular bean-pot method. Pour off this
water, add fresh hot water, and boil
very slowly, SO that the beans do not
split for several hours, until they are
quite tender.
Now skim out the beans and put them
in bean pot. Fill it up with the water
in which they are boiled. Cover the
top with strips of salt pork-three..
quarters of a pound to good sized
bean pot. Add a tablespoonful of
molasses and place in the gas oven.
The next thing to do is to leave the
pot In the oven long enough. The old
fashioned New England way was to
leave the bean pot in the oven all day
and then in a cooler oven all night.
They were ready to eat next morning.
But with our gas ovens the heat of
"a hours would be too much. SO leave
the beans in the oven with the heat on
moderately for a couple of hours. Then,
without opening the oven door, turn off
the heat and let the beans stay in the
oven for an hour. Then apply heat
fer half an hour. Then turn it off and
leave the beans in the oven an hour
more. Do this all day. Make the oven
useful for other cooking, and the ex-
penSe need not be counted all against
the beans. Cooked in this way they
will be delicious.

and smartest Of trimmings. For a black
cocarde you will need a small circle OF

Household Methods
BY BETSY cALLIsTER.
Flowers in Pots.

We have always recognized the deco
rative possibilities Of flowers, both cut
and growing. But perhaps never better
than we do today. For we choose our
flowers and plants now not just because
they are beautiful in themselves, but
because they harmonic with their sur
roundings-and enhance the beauty of
ours.
remember in my childhood seeing
quite pretentious displays of potted
plants ranged on wire or iron stands
before the sunny windows. The plants
themselves were beautiful. But I never
liked them very much, for they seemed
to me to be-as they really were-clut-
tering and in the way.
The plant lover now manages to keep
her love, and her plants, within bounds.
She ranges pots Of her favorites in rows
on little shelves built across the win
dows just for the purpose of holding
them. The shelves are painted to
match the other woodwork of the room,
or are enameled in black or silver to
give a colorful bit of contrast.
Window boxes are still often used to
add to the charm both indoors and out
of our windows. They are filled, at
this time of the year, If they are out
doors, with pansies and English daisies,
perhaps. Later on we put begonias and
heliotrope, in lovely pink and lavender
color scheme, in them, or red geraniums
and green leaf plants. Or some other
interesting combination Of Midsummer
coloring.
Indoor window boxes need attention
at this time of year. It is better If their
contents are taken outdoors when gar
den weather is established. The pots
are in pots. If they are just In the
window box, they should be unearthed
and planted in favorable spots In the
garden for the Summer.

JUDGE CONDEMNS NEW YORK VICE
 SQUAD MEMBERS
Scores Two Former At- taches of Force, Who Face Terms of Five Years in Prison

New York, May 20.-UP)-New York's police vice squad system was condemned by Judge Charles Mott, Jr, after a jury had brought in a verdict of guilty against William E. Lewis and Edgar D. Mcfarland, former members of the squad who were charged with brutally attack ing a woman they had arrested.
 ITO my mind" Judge Mott said, "the whole system of instituting a so-called vice squad and sending young men around to insinuate themselves into the apartments of women and subjecting them to the temptation they must be subjected to, is far from a civilized and decent way for the great city of New York to get evidence against the unfor- tunate women"
 Lewis and Mcfarland were con- victed of second degree assault for attacking Mrs Genevieve Potocki in a vice raid on her apartment last September. Mrs Potocki had testi- fled that the policemen punched and kicked her after she had served them drinks. They are subject to prison trems of five year each and will be sentenced next Tuesday.

 Factor and his wife appeared at the United States marshars and asked for a hearing on charges that the land and stock salesman Is fu- gitive from British justice.
 Factor appeared confident that he would be able to obtain release on bond pending determination of England's claim for his extradition. He was not even accompanied by any of the numerous lawyers who have sought to negotiate with fed eral authorities for surrender terms.
