Storing Vegetables

Beets, satisfy, parsnips, car
rots, cabbage, turnips and pota-
toes may be stored in outdoor pits
and covered with old sacks and
dirt to keep the cold out. When
wanted, the vegetables may be
reached by digging a hole on the
south side, near the bottom Of the
pile, and quickly covering it up
afterward.
f wanted early in the winter,
these vegetables may be stored in
q box of sand in the cellar. Be
sure that damaged vegetables are
not buried with the others, for
they will decay quickly and make
the rest spoil.
Celery may be stored in moist
earth in the cellar. The earth
should be kept moist, but the
tops should not be watered. On
ions should first, be cured or
dried, then stored in cool, we'll
ventilated place. Squashes need
plenty of ventilation, but not too
much cold. They keep best iii a
cool, dry room where they will
not freeze.

Timely Thought

There are no profit and loss coll
umns in the ledger of generosity.
He who gives in the expectation
of getting something in return is
not giver, bat a merchant. He
who gives with no such expecta-
tion, merely to plant a seed where
it may or may not grow; to start
a series of kindly relationships
which may or may not continue to
infinity, is in the highest sense a
sportsman. And there is no sport
on earth that compares with this.

Household Hints

When you have washed sum
mer dresses and curtains to put
away for the winter, do not
starch nor iron them. The starch
tends to rot them and they will
need ironing anyway before use
and you might as well save your
self that labor.
Tan, sunburn and freckles, the
result of summers fun. may be
treated with lotion composed of
Tactic acid, glycerin and rosewa-
ter, obtained from any druggist.
Keep hand lotion on the kitchen
shelf to rub into the skin after the
midday dishes are washed. No
use having, your hands trough and
reddy."

prejudice against married women
in business is rapidly disappear

ness because they have earned
their jobs.
We agree with all of the above,
We recognize that business has a
lure for the go-getter type of

forced into it from necessity
However, fortunate is the wife
who may escape the stress and

An Attractive Room

What makes charm in the liv-
ing room? comfort and appropri-
ateness. In planning your room
arrangement for winter, make the
fireplace or stove the center of
attraction, as it will naturally be.
About it group various lesser
centers of attraction, as for ex-
ample, Fathers big chair, with his
rack of reading papers, books and
reading lamp beside it. Not too
far removed, have Mothers fav-
orite chair, with her sewing out
fit, her magazines and her read
ing lamp. So should there be a
place for each member of the fam
lily or the guest, where he will
find at hand the things he needs
to make his session in that room
enjoyable.
The various pieces of furniture
should not be scattered about the
room, where they will have come
hither look, inviting you to drop
down and be happy for spell.
Another arrangement might be
the music group, composed of
piano, radio, music cabinet, piano
lamp and aEuk' In another cor
ner is the writing group with its
desk, chair and light; then there
is the davenport group, made up
of davenport, tapestry or import
ant picture over it, and end tables
at each end, or davenport table
behind it, or low coffee table in
front.
Simplicity and richness distin-
guish the fireplace, more than to
load it with bric-a-brac. An ex-
cellent picture or tapestry above
it, mantle clock on it, wall
lights at either side above it, a
hearth rug in front of it, and per-
haps a fire-bench or large floor
pillows luringly near. These are
enough for decoration. More
would make it look fussy.

Gossip

Light-minded people are very
ready to believe every piece Of
gossip which they hear, even that
offered by an enemy Of the per-
son talked about. Well balanced
more thoughtful people refuse to
believe the stories repeated by
gossip until the accused person
has been given an opportunity ia
present his side Of the case. The
law assumes that every person is
innocent until he has been proved
guilty. Why should we not be as
reasonable with our friends?

pleasure-seeking miss goes through in
order to join the motor parade that is

Because the distributors ON the newer
ears are being placed in new locations,
any woman who goes car shopping is
hkely to be faced with the question,
| what is distributor, anyway" We'll,
| let's see.
It is, perhaps. one of the best-named
units OF the car 1t distributes ignition
current And to where should current
be distributed but to the spark plugs
SO far so good.
For the sake Of convenience we in
sert in the distributor another little
device known as the breaker. 1t makes
and breaks lowEtension current from
the battery, thus inducing q spark at
the contact ends OF any circuit con-
nected through the secondary winding
OF the ignition coil. Since these contact
ends are the spark plug points, il follows
that every time the breaker points open
spark Is thrown at one Of fhe spark
plugs. This high-tension current with
the spark-thFowing inelinati6n, is fed
to the individual spark plugs in correct
turn. 1t is the function Of the rotor in
the distributor to sttend to this in
orderly fashion. Since the breaker
works OF the same shaft, everything is
synehfonized to perfection.
Like every other story, there is some
thing to be added. These dsys many
distributors have double set oil bfeaker
points. Since this system has come
INTO vogue with eigi1t-eylinder motors,
ana those even more liberal In the num-
Der Of cylinders, the public has come to
believe that each set Of breaker points
operates a separate bank or set of cSlin-
ders. The men folk in the family win
PROBABLY give you the low down on the
subject to this effect. But they're
wrong.
The points are synehronized and

There is no maybe about this. 1t has
to be exact. That Is why you should
take your car to the service ststion at
least every two months Just for this one

difference in the world in the way the

District National Guard

In an effort TO have put back in the
appropriation bill some OF the funds
which were slashed by the House OF
Representatives, Mai Gen Anton
Stephan, commander of the local mili-
tia brigade, has written the District of
