Suggestions For
the Housewife

When carving boiled or
roasted turkey, or geese, one
should take as many slices as
possible from the breast. Insert
the fork into the breast and
cut away the legs. These may
be grilled or deviled and served
with another meal. Remove
the wings, taking care not to
remove more flesh than can be
avoided, then slice the breast
neatly and cleanly.
To preserve a clothes basket,
take four clothes pegs, split
them as far as the tin bands
and insert one at each corner
of the basket to form feet on
which it can stand. It is
usually the bottom of the
clothes basket that gives way
first, and this will help to
save it.

I would pass rs hand, as it

AS it was, B did the right

doubled again, to ask his part
ner to bid either clubs or dia-
monds, or to bid no-trumps in
case B held not fewer than two
safe stops to that suit. B should
have read that second tnforma-
tory double correctly. Then he
would have bid no-trump, at
which his side could have gone
game. All ABB need lose are
two heart tricks, one spade
trick and one diamond trick,
giving them nine tricks. ABB
cannot go game at either minor
suit, as they must lose two
heart tricks and one diamond
trick. When each of two suits
is doubled by the same player,

This suit is $25. Then the
cotton pique tennis dress is a
love, if ever we saw one, and
the wool belt is in vivid green,
yellow and orange, fastened
with leather buckles. It is only

we've sketched should be seen,
for its colors are heavenly,
hyacinth with raspberry. It's

My husband and I have been
employed in our present posi-
ton since early in April. I

give the lady a gift, and what
would you suggest?
Her brother lives with her

a son who is away at school
but who will be home for the
holidays. Please advise me as
to whether 1 should give gifts
to these others, and what
would you suggest?
I THANK YOU.

Rx ALINE MCHAELIS

BY ALINE MICHAELIS
Perfection cannot be
Mans dover on this earth;
Some flaw mars every melody
That here has come to birth.
There is some shade or stain,
There is some loss or lack,
Some creeping doubt, some
gnawing pain
To keep perfection back.
Perfection cannot dwell
Upon this spinning sphere;
And yet in happy dreams men
tell
Their hearts that it draws near.
Perfection never will
Be any mortal'S bride;
But man must love ana seek

JONES PROVES
TROJAN HAVE
MASTER MIND
By Laufer
Bx GEORGE H. REALE

united PreSS Staff correspondent
Copyright, 1882, BY United Press)
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24.-Coach
Howard Harding Jones, of the I'm
iversity of Southern California,
told me just before his team met
Stanford at Palo Alto Saturday
that there was no "master-mind'
business on the Trojan bench and
then proved the exact contrary.
From a spot behind his sharp
blue eyes and beneath his gradu-
ally greying hair he pulled two
touchdowns that gave his IL, an
underdog in the pre-game betting,
a 13 to 0 victory over Coach Pop
Warmers powerful Cardinals.
The victory made Southern CAL
ifornia a favorite to retain its
coast conference championship of
last year and stamped it again as
cne of the leading contenders for
national honors, which it won in
1881.
1t was late in the second quar-
ter, with the score to O, that
the former Yale and Iowa coach
first pulled a touchdown from un-
der the soft brown hat which
shaded his eyes in Stanford stadi-
UNI. - GHlfh
Stanford had kicked from its
own goal line and Oryille Mohler,
generally rated as the best quar-
terback on the coast, had returned
the punt through broken field Is
yards to the Stanford 20 yard line.
1t was the first time of the game
the I'rojans had driven deep into
Stanford territory.
How much time to go?" Jones
shouted.
Two minutes left in this half"
an assistant reported.
"NIcNeish and Warburton," Jones
thundered as he jumped to his feet.

Only for an accident, Petillo
probably would have been the VIM
ner. After Gardner had led from

nudged into the lead on the last
lap and was rounding the final
bend when his car skidded. Slow

TROJANS' VICTORY UPSETS ALL
PREDICTION ON COAST ELEVENS

Oregon's heavy squad battered
the light Idaho Vandals to take a
32-0 victory.
Washington State had a close
call with a stubborn Oregon State
Beaver. Colburn, a substitute back,
scored for the Cougars in the first
period. Eubank place kicked the
extra point. The Beavers refused
to give up and III the final period
John Biancone went over for a
touchdown, but the kick for tying
point went wild.
U. c. L. A, still in the unde4
feated class with Southern Califor-
MIA, gave every one on their squad
g workout in rolling up a 51-0
score on the inexperienced Cali
fornia Tech eleven. The game
provided a nice workout for the
Bruins preparatory for their clash
this week with Stanford.
Montana took a 1877 licking
from their neighbors, Montana
State, non-conference rival.
