Fascinating Work

In many respects the laboratory seldom noted by studio visitors, IS the most fascinating section of the film plant. Here it is that the nov ies industrial side is foremost. It's purpose is to turn out film, per- fected film. as a factory produces shoes or buttons or pins.
 Within it's walls is the high TO- nance of machinery, of smoothly humming motors and mysterious chemicals at work, paling the fic- tional heart-throbs of actors and the synthetic adventures of movie heroes
 To the workers there it is a matter of small concern thats on those endless strips of celluloid they control are pictured tales that will stir the dreams, the mirth, the pity of millions.

thin cream to the whipped cream mix
ture just at the point when the mix
ture is beginning to freeze. Stir tire
two creams together well and put back

Have you ventilating fan In the
kitchen? u need not be an expensive
model, and it need not be oversize.
Even a small fan, placed at strategic
points when cooking, will keep the air
in circulation and drive the cooking
odors out of close corners. Money spent
for this convenience is never an extrav-
agance, considering the comfort and
service the fan gives.
If you want delicious baked ham, but
do not want to buy whole ham, get
nice thick slice about one inch deep,
trim of the rind, mix two tablespoon
fuls of flour with one teaspoonful Of
dry mustard and spread over the ham
Then place the ham in baking dish,
spread over it two tablespoonfuls of
brown sugar, dot with cloves on the
outside rim, pour over it one cup OF
milk and bake in moderate oven about
one hour. Add more milk If the ham
needs it.
YOU can 40 nice LnlngS 1Or your
beverages by making up fancy ice cubes.
Add lemon, orange or pineapple juice
to the water when freezing cubes for
fruit drinks. Another. nice touch Is
given by placing a cherry berry or some
other piece of fruit in the center of
each clube as it freezes. Mint leaves
can be frozen in the little blocks and.
OF course, you know about tinting ice
cubes with vegetable coloring.
To make quick work of MASKING
berries or fruits through sieve, either
when making jelly or for ice creams
and ices, use puree sieve instead Of a
wire sieve. This handy utensil is a
metal implement with solid sides and
perforated bottom. Usually it has feet
which keep it up off the bottom Of the
container into which you are pressing
the pulp. A wooden potato masher
makes the quickest and best masher.
Always label your preserves and jelliee
and add the date. This will prevent
mistakes when it comes time to open
the fruit and keep the supply circulat-
ing in an orderly way.

YOUR own hand. I do not, because
care not how good the cook-elther
man or Woman-home-b baked beans
cannot have the uniformity OF the pest
oven baked beans as We buy them.
No reflection upon the cook Is In
volved in that remark. II IS me
chanical matter For one thing, 1t Is
impossible to buy uncooked beans OF
uniform quality. They may seem allke
in size. but beans of various ages WILL
be among them some from liie
seasons latest crop; some mloole-aeeo'
some harvested long before the otners.
The longer beans lie in the pin the
harder they get and the more soak
ing they require to make them NJ Ior
cooking And so you have In the same
package or box of beans some that VIII
soak quickly to softness others that
will be but half-soft, and still others
that should have much longer SOAK
ing to bring them to the state OF the
first beans.
The packer who grows his own fields
of beans of one variety, harvests them
and uses them while they are still fresh,
can control uniformity, but not We
who must buy beans in the open
market.
This point is equally true Of many
other food products, among them
prunes. I am most particular to puy
only the very finest dried prunes, winch
I know are harvested at the same time
and carefully sorted. Otherwise l
might soak prunes and cook them with
all the skill at my command only
to find that the mixed crop had gwen
me ill-assorted fruit-some still hard
and clnging to the pits, others we'll

shall, therefore waste no time upon
instructions for the making of baked
beans at home. but will give you IN
stead a few ideas for tasty service.
You may like to add little indi-
vidual seasoning to the oven-baked
beans you buy in cans. If you have
bought the Boston type beans, you may
want to add, for certain occasions, a
little tomato sauce, or little table
sauce, or sprinkling OF onion juice or
onion salt if you like that flavor.
Chopped green pepper and onion,
softened in butter and mixed with
Boston beans. also gives an individual
flavor. Add slices of bacon over the top
! and grill under the broiler, II you
want meaty dish.
Beans go we'll with any kind Of
pork, whether fresh. smoked, hot or
/ cold Serve them with hot baked ham
or cold ham: with hot roast pork ms
stead of potato; with sausage in cakes,
or the spicy little link sausage which
is the chefs favorite. Here is good
menu for a roast pork dinner which
the men in your family will relish on
the first cool day:

Straight Talks to Women
About Money.
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Honesty.
/ A RE most people honest? That ques-
"A ton is put to us at least three or
| four dozen times year. Usually the
uuestioner Is some one whose faith In
| human nature has been tried severely.
| Our answer Is that all people, or nearly
all, are honest until they are unduly
tempted Then the weakest may sue
cumb to temptation.
What is to be learned from that?
Remove temptation from the paths OF
fellow beings and you will never have
! reason to regret your faith IN human
nature.
Recently a hotel detective whose
, know ledge of human nature Is as ex-
tensive and penetrating as any ones
told us: ANY one who tempts poor
person with cash or valuables deserves
little pity If he or she loses his or her
things Often these people are IN neeo,
or their families are. What can one
| expect?" l..
There Is a great deal Of wisdom In
| what he said. More thieves have peen
made by unwittingly careless people
than have been made by dishonest mo-
, tives. The theft that Is commltteo on
impulse when one Is confronted Win
the sight OF loose anu uis uaio oeu 80
ables is less condemnable to some tnan
the one conceived and executed coio-
headedly.
We inherit from childhood our IN
stinct to pick up things, and to Keep
them if they attract us. Every museum
has it's placards reading Don't Touch!'
| There is a sound reasoning behind that
command Stores that sell wares likely
to be tempting sometimes request the
shopper, please do not handle the
articles on this counter" Again the
reasoning is sound.
While there are practical reasons for
not handling fragile or delicate articles,
there is the moral reason, too. Human
nature Is not of stern or tough stuH ,
1t must be treated cautiously.

u inches across 1t is this papaw which
is made into patent medicine. The
wild banana" tree grows more as an
underbrush tree in the shade Of larger
trees. When growing alone on a lawn
it has a pyramidshaped top and will
reach a height Of 80 feet. The bark is
thin and fibrous with blotches of pale
gray, on the surface are warts and shall
low grooves, it is used for fish nets.
The wood is inferior, light, coarse
grained and weak.
The name, "Asimina" means sleeve
shaped fruit" and it is a member Of
the passion-fower family. On account
Of its tropical appearance in the Sum-
mer. you know it is a runaway member
from the South. The leaves were once
used as substitute for soap and tough
meat was wrapped in the bruised leaves
to break down the connective tissue by
the solvent called "papain." The fruit
has flavor something like the peach
crossed with melon.

one likes, is chicken pie with salad

either ice cream or fruit whip cake.
For the fruit whip cake use pound cake.

1 \ with Halloween coming on Sun
day. Halloween parties, cider
and roasted chicken are splendid COM
bination. If you have never tried put
ting a cupful of hot cider into the
roaster while the chicken was cooking
you still have a treat in store for you.
| The chicken cooked in the cider does
not absorb the favor of the fruit juice,
but it somehow assumes something OF
the delicious aroma of cider, and thus
gets that flavor of apple orchards that
we associate with Fall and Halloween.
/ If you want to introduce the apple
/ flavor in another way. stuff the chicken
with an apple and celery dressing. 1t
is delightfully."- different. To make it
combine thoroughly the following in

such dishes are improved in flavor by

- ONE folks call it the wild banana
tree" because its fruit which IS
from three to five inches long,
has a thick, wrinkled, brown
skin and the flesh is yellow,
sweet and insipid. The seeds ere large
and hard The birds and squirrels seek
them in the Winter when the snow mas
covered other food supplies.
In the South these trees are found In
the rich bottom lands, but they are
found as far north as Kansas, Mchi-
gan and Western New York and New
Jersey. They are planted more as orna-
mental trees in lawns. as their leaves
give them a tropical appearance.
In the Spring the tree IN bloom Is a
beautiful sight and resembles, to great
extent, the wild ginger, which is often
found close by. In April the leaf buds
are scarcely opened when the wine
colored flowers, spaced upon the twigs,
appear. The leaves are covered with
red fuzz, making the tree glowing
thing in the woods. They are alternate,
simple and cluster near the tips OF the
branches, are pear-shaped and from
to 10 inches long. In the Winter the
buds are small, fiat and pointed. They
are very hairy and red.
The bees mind not the unpleasant
odor which the tree sends forth, ard
they come in great numbers to sip the
nectar and carry off the pollen.
The colored folks Of the South are
very fond of the soft fruit. which is ripe
from September until october. The
pungent papaw flavor is objectionable
TO most people. Baskets of this fruit,
in their banana-like jackets, may be
found in the open markets. 1t is said
that the fruit which has been left on
the tree to ripen and has been touched
by the frost is delicious and nutritious.
The melon-papaw of Southern Florida
grows wild like the palm. 1t has a tall
stem and leaves forming rosette at
the top. It's bark is silvery white. the
leaves a dark lustrous green and often
