Cold vegetable plates are about the incest things you can serve on a hot, midsummer day. Vegetables supply enough nourishment for the body, but do not oyertax the stom- ach. Vegetable plates are best served on one large platter, placed right on the table. Everybody helps him. self. A few fresh vegetables with an appetizing dressing, crisp rolls and some kind of sweet dessert constitutes a whole meal.
 Your lettuce must be crisp and cold. After washing, wrap it in a clean cloth and put it in the ice box until you are ready to pre- pare the platter of cold vegetables Tn this way it is sure to be crisp and fairly dry. Lettuce, dripping
 with water. will spoil the appear ance of the salad and dilute the salad dressing.
 If you plan to serve. a cold vege- table platter for lunch, get your vegetables all cleaned and cooked in the early hours of the morning before the kitchen gets unbearably hot.
 Here's what you'll need for a vegetable luncheon. Other vege- tables can, of course, be substituted for the one listed here.

 He has invented a grapefruit squirt defect which consists of an umbrella-like head on the handle of spoon. When the utensil is jabbed into the fruit. the umbrella opens; it folds up when the spoon is removed from the fruit.
 Another coast inventor has pro- duced knife lacking the custom ary sharp edge. Along its edge are a number of slots, the theory being that when the instrument is jabbed into dish of peas, they will not roll off the blade. Sales have not been reported at any new highs.

THE EVER POPULAR
 SUMMER PICNICS
Picnic Style in the Back Yard as We'll as Away
 From Home
BY MARIE CLIFFORD

Hot weather and picnics are a grand combination, but don't limit your picnicking to Holidays and Sundays. Serve picnic tyle occa- sionally in the back yard, the porch or even in dining room. If you live near park, a river or a lake, pack your supper and sur- prise your family by announcing that an outdoor dining room has been chosen for the evening meal. They will enjoy the change and it will prevent your becoming wilted and Jagged from standing over a hot stove just before dinner. The choice of food is not diffi- cult, but do remember that out door appetites are always keener and it will take more food to satis- fly them.
 Cook in the cool of the morning and prepare enough so that you can serve the same food in a dif- ferent manner for several dinners. It is well to have a variety of cold meats on hand. And if you want to save yourself considerable trouble, your supply of cold meats will be selected from the wide as- sortment of ready to serve meats. These meats are all carefully cook ed and seasoned.
 Canned meats are great help in preparing the impromptu picnic. because they are so versatile. Sausages have long been the pop ular picnic meat and you will find sausages of all types awaiting your approval.
 You may prefer to prepare your kitchen and nothing quites take the place of a baked ham. A meat loaf, 8 roast, jellied tongue or corned beef are delicious for the picnic supper.
 The following menus may offer some suggestions for picnic meals. Cold Cuts of Ham and Tongue Potato Salad Sliced Tomatoes Pickles Olives /

TOMATOES, AND
 MEAT COMBINED
Filet MignOn With Baked Tomato, Lamb En
 BrOchette

When luscious, ripe. red toma- toes crowd the market places, it is tisle to plan new ways to use them. This is not at all difficult, for they are among our most yer satile foods and may be combined in many pleasing ways.
 The combination of meat and to- matoes, while it is not new, is one of the most satisfactory. for the flavors of the two foods contrast so well that they each enhance the other.
 And, from the standpoint of nu- triton, the combination is an es- pecially good one. Meat is needed in the diet for it's excellent quality protein, the building material of the body. Also it contains the minerals, iron and phosphorus, which are most essential, iron for it's help in building red blood cells, and phosphorus for it's influence in building strong, rigid, well-formed bones and teeth. Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin c, the vitamin which prevents scurvy and seems to increase resistance to dis ease. A combination of two foods which singly have an important place in the diet is valuable in nu- triton.
 There are many ways in which meat and tomatoes may be com bined. Here are a few of them. These are suggested by Inez Wilson, home economist. Fillet MignOn with Baked Tomato hoaf RlIatc ;pchac thick
 6 rounds toast 3 tomatoes
 3 tablespoons butter
 tablespoons grated cheese Sale and pepper Have fillets cut from 8 tender- loin of beef. Brown in butter. and fry until tender, about 20 minutes. Cut tomatoes in half and place in a buttered baking pan. Sprinkle with grated cheese and dot with !, butter. Place in a moderate oven (35O degrees F.) and bake until to- matoes are tender. Arrange the fllets on rounds of buttered toast and place a baked tomato half on top of each one.
 Lamb eh Brochettc 2 pounds lamb shoulder
 F pound bacon squares tomatoes onions.

 Have lamb shoulder boned and cut into inch squares of about 12 inch thickness. Slip a square of lamb on skewer, a piece of ba- con, then a piece of tomato, an- other square of bacon, and so on until the skewer is pretty well flleS. Lay on Q cold greased rack and place over live coals or under an electric grill or gas flame. If gas is used, have the skewers about 3 inches from the flame. Scar on all sides, then lower the flame and finish cooking at a reduced temperature. It requires about 1C minutes for the broiling.

SOLICITING FUNDS

About this time the church and
charity organizations send their can
vassers out in search of funds. This
solicitation is not left so much to
chance as formerly. Or if so left,
it is usually impossible to raise the
money to carry on such public work.
If you issue a general invitation and
appeal for giving, many people will
toss your communication into their
wastebaskets, and cheerfully decide
to "let George do it,"
But when you send a solicitor to
a PERSONS door, and make a direct
appeal to him to give, he dislikes to
say NO" He hates to have it ap-
pear that he is not willing to CO.
operate.
It is surprising how little respon-
sibility some people feel for the gen.
eral welfare. They would not want
to live in a community without
churches and other welfare organ
izations. But when it comes to sup
porting these societies, they can al
ways find excuses. They hand out
tales of woe to the solicitor. They
about the many calls made
on them, and they are sick and tired
of drives.
There are of course many people
in these times who are so hard
pressed that you simply can't ask
them to give to any public cause.
When you go to some of them, you
feel that you should contribute to
their needs, rather than ask them
to give to anybody else. But some
Of these non-contributors are all the
lime spending money for things that
ire not necessities of life.
Even if one offers only 25 cents or
| dollar, that is better than to give
nothing at all. 1t would seem as if
most people, by a little sacrifice,
could at least offer some small !
amount to keep the good causes go
ng. Civilization slips backward if |
We do not have good social agencies
Ill through Delaware. We must
somehow dig up the money for them.

THE CHILDREN,S HOLIDAY

While Christmas is a day of joy
for all ages, yet it is in a peculiar
sense the children's holiday. 1t is
a day when infancy and youth are
gloriied. Christ came to earth an
infant like other little ones, and we
are led to feel from what he accom-
plished that every human soul has
infinite possibilities. The world
seeks first of all on Christmas day
to make the day a happy one for
the children.
There is nothing more charming
than the innocent joy which they
feel in a Christmas celebration. No
costly present gives so much real
pleasure as the sight of child merri-
ment, the sparkling eyes of the lit
tie ones as they pull the treasures
out of their stockings, and dance
around the gaily lighted Christmas
tree.
But it should not be a mere selfish
happiness. If children feel that a
shower of gifts is to be poured on
them, and they are not TO make any
real gifts in return, it is not real
Christmas. They should give as
well as receive, and their gifts
should cost them some effort and
sacrifice. They should understand
that Christmas is a day when hap
piness is to be conferred on others.
The Christmas spirit says that
every child must have an opportuni-
ty to realize the possibilities in that
tiny soul. The Christmas spirit does
not pervade the world, SO long as so
many children spend the day in
scenes of defeat and poverty.
AS the children grow up, they
should never lose the 10y of giving
to others. Christmas is meaning
less. unless their chief pleasure is
In making other people happy. They
should seek not merely to exchange
gifts with friends, but to seek out
those who are deprived of oppor-
Lunities and blessings, and do some
Thing to bring these benefits to those
who lack their share of the good
things of life.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS

People sing patriotic songs on
July 4th, they warble old home mel
odies at Thanksgiving, they sing war
songs on the holidays that commem-
crate the various wars. But none of
these melodies strikes the note of
beauty touched by the marvellous
old carols of Christmas time.
There is a haunting charm in those
old tunes, that our modern popular
hits rarely attain. The modern pop
ular song is lucky if it is sung for
six months or year, but many of
the old Christmas carols have been
sung for centuries, and will be sung
centuries hence. You can feel the
sparkle of the starlight in them, the
mystery of the manger cradle in
which the infant Christ was laid.
They came straight from someone's
heart, and they have touched the
heart in all ages.
So don't become impatient when
some enthusiastic young crowd of
carollers wake you up early ON
Christmas morning, with these an
cient melodies. They are songs of
happiness, bidding us dispel the
gloom that hangs over the earth.

LOSING THE HOME

One of the sad phases of the past
few years, has been found in the
great number of people who have
lost their homes, through inability
to make payments on their mort
cages. The great majority of these
people put certain amount of cush
of their own into such real estate.
If the property is sold at fore
closure sale, then the money. which
they put up may be a complete loss.
Such families had believed that
owning a home is a most excellent
investment, and under normal con-
ditions it is. They had selected "a
home that they hoped would be a
center of happiness for many years,
but these hopes have faded.
Many families that bought homes
during the boom times are out of
luck. If they can pay the interest
right along, they will probably come
out all right, since values are sure
to come back, at least to a large de-
gree. If they had not put that
money into the home, they might
have made a still worse Investment.
But when an inflated price is paid,
it takes a long fight to make up for
that loss.
The majority of people have to go
through some experiences of loss
before they learn prudence. In the
boom times, many people bought
houses beyond their means. Where
they should have been satisfied with
some simple cottage, they felt able
to take on a more costly residence.
But the majority of those who
made such mistakes are young and
strong. If business will give them
regular work, they have learned
their lesson. They won't try to fly !
SO high next time. They will real
lie that it is better to play the safe |
md sure game, and be content with |
modest living and simple ways. The |
country is on much sounder basis,
low that people have discovered
hat extravagant living, is not good
lOlicy.

meant peace on earth, good will to
men,"
Peace and good will. Everyone
says he believes in peace. Every
one says he believes in good will.
But we exemplify these ideas very
poorly. We quarrel with our neigh
bors, our rivals and competitors, our
townspeople, and our country quar-
rels with foreign nations.
People approach their problems
from a selfish point of view. They
see their own side of the conten-
tentions between them, and are un-
able to see the other fellows point
of view. So long as those habits
rule the world, there will be little
peace and good will.
To have the right Christmas spirit,
we should drive all harsh and bit
ter feelings out of our hearts. We
should forgive people who may have
offended us. Let us abolish our old
quarrels, live at peace with our
neighbors, and insist that our coun-
try live at peace with other coun-
tries.
Good will to men. That calls for
kindly thoughts, and desire to help
other people rise above their diff
culties. 1t calls for an end to a
spirit. 1t asks the employer
to be generous to his workers, and
the workers to loyalty seek the sue
cess of their employer. 1t calls for
a warm, friendly. and big hearted
spirit. If we can make progress in
developing these thoughts, our
Christmas counts far more than any
happiness conferred by material
gifts.

FOREIGN MARKETS

George N. Peek, recently head of
the federal farm administration, has
been named to take charge of a new
bureau which will seek to find for
eign markets for farm commodities.
The problem of disposing of our
surplus of farm products was never
so serious previous to the World
War. AT that time, the people of
Europe and other countries were
able to consume great quantities of
American farm produce. Their fail
ure to do so at this time is a princi-
pal cause of farm distress. The new
bureau will accomplish a big stunt
if it can reopen some of these mar
kets. 1t will be up to this new or
ganization to do some horse trading,
and see if some of that lost trade
can't be enticed to come back.
