baking makes them tough and dark, dry and tasteless.
 Bananas baked before the skins darken will not be as fine favored as the perfectly ripened ones, but they will be more digestible than if eaten raw. Unripe bananas should be baked without the skins and pasted with thin syrup. These can be as dessert while those baked in the skins may take the place of a vegetable.
 The fibrous "strings' sometimes left on bananas after peeling are indigestible and the coating just under the peel is very difficult for many people to digest. Children should have their fruit scraped be- fore eating.
 As long as the skin of a banana is unbroken the fruit Is sterile, for the peel is a verltable germ-proof wrapper. This makes the banana one of the best raw foods avail able and quite safe for children.
 There are many ways to serve bananas. They are excellent Tn salads and fruit cups. Their bland flavor combines well with tart fruits such as grapefruit and pine apple. Sliced oranges and sliced bananas arranged in layers with

 know a woman almost 70 who is as Timber as most women of 30. She can stoop, bend, walk, dance with never creak to indicate tbe brittleness that sometimes comes with age.
 For over 40 years, this woman told me, she has done 10 minutes of exercise both morning and night. Just 20 minutes day but she claims never to have missed a single day, except the few times she was fiat on her back with H. ness, and those have been fewer Tn her life than the average.
 She has always centered all her attention during exercising on that through the-ribs area of her body. She stretches, bends, sways, shakes each leg a few times and draws herself up out of her hips by var ous exercises. The limberness or her spine testifies to the efficacy of her regime. But her daily appiica- ton mustn't be overlooked.
 After stretching mornings and evenings, the next step in exercis- ing is to shake up the body iron. the hips. With your hands stil holding onto each other above tfe head, swing your arms and shout ders first to one side, then to tbe other, so that you twist your body from the waistline- This gives the old liver a kick. Most flyers need it. like 1t and work much better for it.
 Next. stand on one leg and If the other, knee fexed, keeping your backbone straight. and try to touch your breast bone with your knee. The best way to do 1t Is To grab your knee with your hands and help 1t up. Keep your m1nd on your back or you'll just nal urally bend over to help yourseII reach your knee. That Is the wrong way to get this exercisr done.

Perhaps 1t was the fact that Nancy had a brand new dress to wear about the house that made her wish to do something brand new with the left over meat and vegetables. But her wish appar- cntly was not going to come true, because the only dish she evolved was hash.
 But it was "some hash"-to uuote her husband Peter. He said 50 when he asked for his second helping and he repeated 1t with emphasis when he took his third serving.
 Nancy almost fell into the er- TOT of boring him with the de- tails of the way she made 1t. But she stopped fin time and kept the recital for Lois the next morning.
 'It was good hash. Lois. In 1t nut the left over pieces of roast. a tough end of steak, one pork chop, two cooked links of sausage. had some left over corn and a dish of stewed tomatoes.

"A wonderful bird is the peli- can" you know the rhyme.
 Today I saw at least a hundred in a swift windy current where the fish were. fairly washed into their mouths.
 One old fellow, however, that must have had a wing spread of four or five feet, was fishing on his own account. He Tapped along about ten feet above the water and then dived. He went right down under the surface and disappeared wings, pouch, body and all under the choppy waves.
 I held my breath when he didn't come up. Finally, after what seemed several minutes. he ap- peared again many yards from where he had gone in, and no doubt he had already swallowed his prey. He swan back and joined the others presently in their un- ending vigil for food.
 A Fish Story
 Yesterday, on the MatanZas river, I looked out of the window as was dressing. The sun was on the water and siZable fish, strange ly enough, were jumping for sheer joy, or so it seemed (there were no pelicans abouD, for several feet out of the water.
 And then suddenly I saw some thing else, large black fish was rocking along right on top of the water like hobby horse. First his head and then his tail. there he was as plain as the nose on an 1n- dian's face, heading straight up the cove and having the time of his life. He was yard or so long. I was told that he was a baby porpoise. Later in the day out at sea I saw another doing the same thing, perhaps it was the same one, I don't know. I had seen large porpoises tumbling about but never one of these baby rocking horses.
 This led to porpoise talk and I heard story from an old fisher man who may have been spoofing me, but I think not, for other peo- pie who were there bore him out.
 The porpoise is a friend of man, 1t seems, and he is shark chaser. One time not long ago a man was drowned and before they could get his body out shark came spearing along. Then a

 The home maker who wants to supply a well balanced and nour- ishing diet for her family at the minimum cost will choose bananas as one of her staple fruits.
 At one time many people con- sidered bananas indigestible. This food superstition has. like many others, now been overcome by science. We know now that a ripe. raw banana can be fed sue cessfully to very small children without causing digestive difficulty.
 Banans are high in food value. good sized one furnishing 100 calories. Their large starch con- tent makes them an excellent sub stitute for potatoes as an accom- paniment with meat. It is this starch content which makes an un- ripe banana difficult to digest. Cooking the banana converts the starch into dextrine and sugar, caking it quite as digestible as q perfectly ripe raw banana.
 As the banana ripens, brown spots appear on the skin. When all traces of green have disappear ed even at the ends and the brown spots are apparent, bananas are best for eating.
 Sugars Increase Food Value.
 In a ripe banana, practically all the calory value is due to sugars which are accompanied by amounts of iron, vitamin A and vitamin C great enough to be worthwhile additions to the daily dietary.

'Weil--wasn't there something about his book" Ann asked. ."Yes. But that wasn't my fault.

Reasonably, Ann-not because I'm your sister or anything -could that have been my fault?"
 Darling, of course not. How could 1t be?"
 Barry thought 1t was my fault" Cecily said. "He didn't say so right out: but he acted as if it were my fault. He said that he'd either have to spend less time with me or more. He meant get married. and he knows I can't right now. He had to blame someone, and he wouldn't blame that wonderful person MT Huntington, so he blamed me.

Troops

MEXICO CITY, June 25.--Defying
the organized terror OF the Mexican
Government and its troops, 10000
street car and railway workers, with
their wives and children, paraded
through the main streets of the city
today. They marched through a
huge force Of soldiers, modified by
the government and posted every ten
feet with fixed bayoncts.
The demonstration was a protest
against the treacherous strike break
ing activities Of the Mexican Govern
ment, puppet Of Wall Street. The
street car strikers and the strikers of
the Southern Pacific Railroad of
Mexico were last week induced to re-
turn to work, pending arbitration of
their demands. The reformist lead
ers in both unions helped in the be-
tiayal of the struggles. The National
Board Of Arbitration and Cancellation
has, as vas expected. delayed its de-
cision in the hope of disrl,ptng the
solidarity and fighting spirit Of the
workers in preparation for decision
favoring the bosses.

tors alta led Javied Sanchez Me;or-
