PROTECTING THE JOHNSON
 CHILDREN FROM ACCIDENTS

PROTECTING THE JOHNSON
 CHILDREN FROM ACCIDENTS
 Last Saturday morning Mrs Johnson did a foolish thing. She went out to the store and left her electric iron on. When she got home she found the ironing board smouldering and the kitchen filled with fumes. If she had been away much longer she would prob- ably have found the whole house in flames. When I dropped in to see the Johnsons that evening she was still representing herself for her carelessness and thanking Heaven that she had taken Baby John with her to the store and that all the other children were away from home.
 Well, she'll be doubly careful now! Not that Mrs Johnson or any of her family are really careless. Tn fact it's many years since they had a really serious accident though of course the children do get their share of cuts and bruises from play. But both MT and Mrs Johnson have learned that a large majority of accidents can be prevented by a little common sense and care.
 When Bill was little, Mrs John- son soon learned that the only way to protect him from accidents was to see that harmful things were kept strictly out of his way. From that time to this, since she has always had young child in the family, the same rules have been kept. For instance, matches are not left lying around in the John- son home where Robert can get hold of them, and the same applies to knives and other sharp instru- ments. In the winter when they have an open fire in the sitting room it is always protected by a good, sturdy screen so that the younger children cannot get too near. The windows of the nur-- sery are protected by bars, and

 Before you begin to eans if is q

good idea to estimate how many jars you will probably need during the winter for family meals and also for company dinners. A few jars of extra fine products for spe- cial occasions are an asset to your stock. Although families differ in the amounts of food used. the cal- culation for one person can pc multiplied by the number in the family and an adequate working basis reached.
 For one person for 32 weeks, al- lowing one serving of two vege- tables besides potatoes each day, the following budget has been worked out:
 Tomatoes, 8 servings per week. x cup size of serving, 24 pints.
 Green beans, 2 servings per week. 4 cup per serving, 10 pints.
 Corn, serving per week, 31 cup per serving, 6 pints.
 Peas, 1 serving per two weeks, L cup per serving, 4 pints.
 Bccfs, i serving per week. M cup per serving, 6 pints.
 Carrots, 1 serving per week, M cup per sctvlng, 6 plnts.
 Soup mixture, 8 servings per week. X cup per serving. "A pints.
 Spinach, q servings per week, as cup DOT serving, 10 pints.
 If winter vegetables which are stored. such as cabbage. celery. squash, rutabagas and parnsips. are. used regularly. the quantity of canned foods required Is natur- ally decreased. If you figure on serving cabbage three times q week, allowing less than one-fourth pound per serving. 20 pounds should be calculated for each pers son over a period of 32 weeks. Twenty-one pounds of onions VIII allow two servings per week.

 She stood, straight as line. Her face was curiously white. Her eyes were almost black.
 "They're coming! see them! Those eyes!"
 "Where are they?" Jack asked in a natural tone.
 "Over there. Just beyond the window. They're watching me They watch all the time. And have to go when they do. We'll I'll be getting on." Her voice changed to a more natural tone.
 Whose eyes are they?" Jack asked.
 "They're- they're"
 "Hal Pritchard's aren't they?' Sue put in with sudden intuition That's why you kept going with him when you knew he was all bad That's why you married him. You couldn't get away. And you hate him?"
 "Oh, don't! Don't He'll hear you. He'll come in. He'll think said it. Please, please dont! Sue didn't know what she said then. Nor what Jack did.

blend the lipstick to the outer edges. Using heavier color on the upper lip and lighter one on the lower lip helps, too.
 If your lips are too thin you may need to let the rouge come beyond the line of the lips.
 If they are normal use rouge over the entire surface, blending it naturally.
 Some people have better luck in keeping lipstick on, if they ap- ply a coating of 1t, dust 1t with powder, and then apply some more. Lipstick adheres more lclose- ly to lips that are dry at the time of the application. ss4
 Don't purse your lips together when you are making up your mouth. That type of mouth, pop ular once upon a time, hasn't any plac con your face now, unless it is natural. You aren't trying to make a new mouth. You are mere-3 ly improving on the one that you have, or brightening its color.

Home canning in variety and quantity will definitely reduce next winters cost of living and should be considered on business basis, either when we produce or when we buy foods to can. In order to make the most of the investment in equipment and raw food pro- ducts every homemaker should plan carefully in regard to her own family needs.
 The number of jars or cans which can be produced from a bushel of fruits or vegetables will naturally vary slightly according to the size of the pieces, the skill with which the can is packed and the quantity of syrup or juice. But the following table. showing the usual number of one-quart cans one bushel of & certain fruit or vegetable will make, may be con- venient in estimating your own needs:

CHAPTER xx


 It was, of course, out of the Qucs- tion for Mona to go to see Barry. Neither could she telephone. She shrewdly suspected that, with Barry's uncle back from White Sul- phur, even Steve kept away from the Townsend country home.
 i've been in his office for three years nearly" she unused, yet I've never seen the firms most remuner ative client!"
 Nor had she. Mir Townsend was one of the favored few who used the private elevator leading directly to MT Gafretson's own office.
 Mona glanced at her wrist watch and saw that it was well past her usual lunch time. We'll, now that she had delayed this long she would wait and lunch at the Savarin. It was expensive but occasionally she went there, ordering the least cost ly dish on the menu. Mona felt sick at heart. The influenza might keep Barry at home until his sail ing date and by that time perhaps he would forget her!
 A moment later Moilie Drury passed Mona's desk, dropping a folded newspaper. "Get a load of that!' Mona said mysteriously.
 The society page was folded out ward to display rather pretty, yet vacuous face. It was the face of a girl named Genevieve Dower. Miss Genevieve Dower," the cap tion ran, daughter of Dr and Mrs Robert w. Aldrich Dower of East 72nd street and Southampton, L. l., win be presented at a dinner dance tonight at Pierre's."
 Mona raised uncomprehending er,H and Mollie shrugged. "En- gagged, so they say, to Barry Town send! Remember seeing him around here?"
 Mona remembered--as Mollie had expected. Engaged ?" she repeated. The paper doesn't say that, does it?"
 e'The paper doesn't - but Dr Dower and Barry Townsend's uncle are great pals. They were down at White Sulphur with Mir Garrett son."
 Mona looked again at the port rait. The face was unfamiliar but the name----ah, she recognized 1t! Barry had been called to the tele- phone last Sunday when Jimmie re- DOTLGu, XMl6o DOWCL ID CaAAA6s
 Tt is announced?" she asked dully.
 Mollie raised her hands, indica- ting disinterest. Not yet.sI guess ThS girl probably wants fling in society before she marries.'
 Who could want a fling. Mona thought desperately, with Barry waiting? She said nothing however and Mollie, only half satisfied with the effect of her news. descended to eat her lunch.
 Mona was about to relinquish her post when the telephone rang. Il was Steve once more.
 Want to run out to Twilands with me to-night?" he asked. Steve had just talked to Mrs Faxon who said Barry was feeling better.
 "I can't tonight, Steve, I'm going to see Father"
 Declining Steve's suggestion that she should drive to Twilands after visiting the hospital, Mona put

MONA MORAN, receptionIst in Q Wall street Inv 0lIlce, is in love with BARRY TOWNSEND. rich and socially prominent. She met Barry through STEVE SACCA- RELLI, her childhood sweet heart, who has returned t0 New York after three yeafs' absence. Steve has been in South America where, largely by chance, he has become associated with Barry, owner Of Q diamond mine long believed worthless. Together they have made the mine pay and are now business partners, Steve owns . huge diamond called ''The Empress of Peru" LOTTIE CARR, fashion model, joins Mona Barry and Steve on several din. ner and dancing engagements.
 Mona's brother, BUD, becomes involved with gangsters who plan to steal the big diamond. Steve suspects this, traps Bud and when he confesses helps him escape to South America where he Is to have a job at the mine.
 Some time later Barry invites Mona, LOttie and Steve to spend Sunday at his uncle's palatial country home. It is a delightful day but Barry fails to propose to Mona as she had hoped he might. He asks her to dine with him next week but when the day ar. rives she fails to hear from him. Barry is i'll with influenza.

The question of what to can is, of course, largely an individual one, but every household should have a canning budget based on it's needs. There are 1895 meals to be prepared during the year and if nutrition and economy are con- sidered. canned foods play an im- portant part in these repasts. Af- ter a home-maker knows how much canning she wants to do she can market to advantage.
 A small canner or pressure cooker which fits over one burner makes 1t possible to can three or four jars of vegetables daily when one is in the kitchen preparing luncheon. The processing is talk ing place while the foods for the

Tennis Classes For
Junior High Pupils
Regular Instruction In Game Proves
Very Popular

"Where's the cOach?" used to be
heard frequently earlier this spring
when he was dividing his time fifty
different ways, but, nowadays, we
all know that he is probably on the
tennis courts. Not playing himself,
you understand, but teaching all of
the junior high pupils to play.
Ever since our two courts were
provided they have been exceedingly
popular with the older crowd, but
the younger pupils have had to start
on the sidelines and look ON rather
wistfully. During the last two weeks
however, the situation has been re-
versed; for now all sixth, seventh,
and eighth graders are being given
regular instructions in tennis, by
classes.
1t is Mr.. Elliott's intention to see
that everyone of these youngsters
by getting out and playing under
supervision each day, shall learn
the game well enough to enjoy it.
Judging by the enthusiasm and SER
iousness of his classes, it. would be
safe to prophecy that we will have
to have more tennis courts in the
near future.
So far the girls of Miss Kitchens
room, the boys of II, and the boys
of 8-2, seem to have made the most

Last Wednesday afternoon the

School. The week before this en-
tertainment at Milford High School,
Milford School sent their music de-
partment, under the direction of
Miss Fielder and Prof. Hudson to
Lewes School, Wednesday, May TO-.
The schools exchanged musical pro-
grams.
Lewes' program last Wednesday
was very entertaining. Their band
started the afternoons program. At
ter several selections by the band
the orchestra took the floor. They
played some of Shubert's compost
tions. Several members of the or
chestra favored the audience with
special music. We must not forget
Mr.. Peck, the director of the Lewes
Band and Orchestra. He was intro
duced as the Walter Damrosch of
Lewes. Mr.. Peck hardly accepted
this honorary title, but, neverthe-
less, he presented very delightful
program which was fully appreciat-
ed by the Milford High School.
