Early Planning Simpifies Preparation of Christmas D

etv of meats from which to choose. Many housewives plan their Christ mas dinner with regard to the pre- ceding Thanksgiving feast and the following New Year festivity: Tur- key for Thanksgiving, goose for Christmas and duck for New Years.
 The woman who has no maid may hesitate to serve an elaborate many-course dinner, but if children are present it is best to start the meal with a clear soup. The hot soup steadies small nerves and is an aid to digestion.
 Following are two menus that can be elaborated or simplified to meet individual needs.
 Keep in mind the necessity of serving foods that children may eat without danger of later trou- ble.

 Bouillon Roast Goose with Prune Stuffing

 The roast pork is prepared ready for roasting the day before. The blushing apples are made, sweet and pudding made ready to serve. The fruit cake has been baked for weeks. On Christmas morning the cocktail must be made and chilled. Later the pork must be roasted, the consomme relocated, the spin- ach cooked and the sweet potatoes finished. But there is no elaborate and painstaking fussnig necessary in the preparation of the meal.
 TOMORROW'S MENU BREAKFAST: Pineapple juice with lemon juice, friend mush with maple syrup, toasted buns, milk, milk. coffee.
 LUNCHEON: Scalloped onions and macaroni, brown bread, orange custard, milk. tea.
 DINNER: Baked halibut steaks, cottage fried potatoes, creamed turnips, banana and peanut salad, prune whip, milk, coffee.

SYNOPSIS

Who Killed TRACY KING, or. cnesira leader found dead In his apartment?
 DAVID HARVESTER. author. former newspaper reporter, un- ueftnkes t0 find out. Police are searching Tor an s.unknOwn Dlyond," known to have visited King shortly before his death. Bannister has seen this girl, who told him her name was JULIET FRANCE. She swore she knew nothing of the murder, but she has disappeared again.
 HERMAN SCURLACH, who wrote King Q threatening letter, IS i'm jail. He also declares his innocence.
 Bannister works on the case with J. RANDOLPH GAINEY, star reporter of the Post. In the 0ead mans apartment Bannister picks up an Old-fashiOhed wed- ding picture and keeps 1t as a possible cIew.
 Gainey tells Bannister he has been talking to Scurlach's wife, CarlOtta.
 CHAPTER XII
 Bannister broke open a poppy seed roll, buttered portion of the roll and ate it. What did she tell your" he asked.
 The little reporters pose of bordom was forgotten. He leaned forward, eyes glowing. What a story!" he repeated. Do you know what that dame was doing when l got out to the house this after noon? Mending pair of her hus- hAnd'a cnn1xa nI Crying! Oh. she pretended that she wasn't but 1 could see the tears just the same"
 Bannister grinned, ''Touching!" he said. "So the beautiful Car, lotta's weeping moved you. Not going soft, are you, Gainey?"
 The other nodded impatiently. Listen" he said, ''this is straight. The girls nearly crazy = and I'll tell you why. She thinks Herman did iti"
 Bannister strengthened. Did she tell you that" he asked.
 NO, she didn't say it. not in So many words. But I know it's true just the same. That's why she put on that looney scene at headquarters. She thinks he did it and she's scared to death. Scared he'll hang for murder"
 A waiter appeared to remove the soup plates. Conversation ended abruptly until the plates of corned beef and vegetables had been served and the two were alone again.
 Its like this" Gainey went on eagerly. "Scurlach's got temper. His wife didn't tell me that; I got it from the neighbors. And he's terribly jealous, too. Lately he's been out of work. Cross. Cranky. We'll, Carlotta didn't like that. She thought he wasn't in love with her any more.
 So what did she do? We'll, she works in a movie theater, you know. Usher at the State. Prob ably got her idea from some phoney movie. Anyhow she de- cided to make Herman jealous. This part she told me herself. She wanted to make him think some other fellow was crazy about her and she picked on Tracy King!
 "Being a sap, Herman fell for 1t. But not in the way Carlotta expected. He came to the theater one night-Herman. I mean-and heard King singing this song, 'I.is- ten Carlotta." guess it made him wild. The girl, trying to make her

ten-year- old son a typewriter fol Christmas, and I think it's a swel idea. We think of a printing-pres! as toy, but some way Or othel we look on a typewriter withou romance.
 Naturally it has been so lont associated with the dull routin of work that no wonder the poo thing carries a stigma. Many peo 1 pie who pound one from mornin, until night wish it had never beer invented.
 But let us face facts. Not thu typewriter itself so much as th' art of using one. I cannot for the life of me sec why schools don't begin to teacf its manipulation reasonably early in the grades. If learning to fin ger a machine does not do any thing else it teaches accurate fin ger control, instant coordination and precision.
 However, it is more useful than that, more practically useful.
 Easy on the Teachers
 In the first place, teachers in advanced grades, junior-high and high schools and colleges go just about wild reading and examining tons of manuscript paper a month Any one who has ever had to wade through miles of written themes (and in such hands), will know the utter discouragement of such a task.
 But although instructors have my sympathy, it is the student himself I am roofing for.
 If more parents understood the pressure of time on the average student. the almost utter impossi- bility of crowding into study hours all the written requirements ir longhand, I think they would dc things differently a second time If they didn't do anything else they would unearth and old sec ond-hand machines out of Cousin Johns, attic. fix it up, and get Junior to practice on it himself He will only use one finger of each hand, very likely. if untaught. but even this slow-accommodatior method is better than nothing.
 And don't think he won't need it either after he gets his sheep skin and starts out on his own If he takes up writing, an editor almost certainly won't read his of. fered brain-child if it comes to his desk in the ragged clothes of long hand.
 Best to Begin Young A busy business man may hast fly glance over a longhand letter but unless he is feeling the de- precision and his time is going beg ging anyway, it will get most casual welcome.
 Young professional men who can't start out with a smart young secretary will bless the gods that bestowed on them the power to turn out a clear well-typed letter It goes on and on. Women today need all these answers, too, and some more. too.
 It is difficult to learn easy CO., ordination when one is older. II takes children to pick up such things quickly and they never for get. And as reminder 1t is bet ter to start them with correct in- struction if possible. Lingering is important.
 We can't all be giving portables around like ten-penny horns it is true. But isn't there an old ma chine somewhere that can be re- paired for the youngsters to learn on? It is worth little trouble, think.

from William Pannell, veteran empioye
of the executive office, the doleful tale
of how a flock of chickens with can,

idea of q partridge pie feast out OF MS
mouth-almost literally.
PannelI discovered his prospective
partridge feast in field on his Southern
Maryland farm not long ago. Carefully
hidden in the brush was nest with ~
partridge eggs all ready to be Matched,
and no mama or papa partridges any
where to be seen.
Determined to rescue the eggs from
the abandoned nest, Pannell took them
to his henhouse and put them under one
cf his best Brahma setting hens. The
hen functioned 100 per cent as foster
mother of birds of the field and 20
baby partridges emerged from the shen
in due time.

nine of the youngsters.

vivors behind protective screening.
