Late August and early Septem- Der bring lima beans in abundance to our markets. A heartier food than the green beans of summer, they add many calories to the diet. One-fourth cup-four leved table, spoonfuls-served lightly seasoned with butter furnishes 100 calories of protein, rat and carbohydrates, while 1t takes one cup of "string" or green beans to furnish the same amount of food value. However. the vitamin content of green beans is higher than that of limas. Green beans are classed with the leafy vegetables as a protective food"
 You will probably find several varieties of lima beans in market, large flat white ones and large fat white ones. They are all good if gathered before the milk be- comes firm inside the tender she'll like covering. AS the beans ripen this covering grows hard and diffi- cult to digest and the creamy cen. ter becomes dry and unpalatable. No matter how long the beans are cooked, these conditions cannot be changed.
 Seasoning Supplies Fat
 If lima bens have become over ripe before gathering, the best way to serve them is to rub them through a colander after cooking and use them as puree or souffle. This removes the tough, indigest- ible' covering, but of course does not restore the delicate flavor of the tender vegetable.
 Because lima beans are lacking in fat this must be supplied in the seasoning. The most delicious way to serve lima beans is in pure cream. One-half cup cream season ed with salt and pepper .and added to 2 cups cooked beans makes the addition of butter unnecessary. Heat cream to scalding point after pouring over beans bu do not let boil. The cream coats the beans ever so lightly and prevents the dryness so many people dislike in lima beans.
 Points in Salting
 Keep in mind the desirabilfty of salting lima beans when they are half cooked. If you add salt when the beans are put on to cook there's danger of toughening the covering, but they do have a better flavor If the salt is cooked in. All

Poise, like many other good things, doesn't seem important if you have it. But if you do not have it, its importance looms ex- tremely large.
 Many an ugly duckling has overcome handicaps because she knew how to walk, how to sit, how to leave and enter a room and how to carry on free and easy conversation with anybody and everybody.
 No matter how beautiful your face, figure and hair may be, their beauty will be wasted on a heed less world if you lack poise. It is nothing extraordinary to fall over furniture, stand on first one foot and then the other and stammer when you are spoken to if you are in your very early teens
 But, once you have passed the
 adolescent age. your muscles should be coordinated to give you
 a free and easy manner.

With the thermometer clicking off scores of over 100. the thoughts of even the most interruptions turn prety constantly to shower baths and what's new for the sport. and manufacturers are not disappoint- ing them. You'll kick and scream and carry on something terrific. no doubt, if you can't add one of the new porthole shower-curtain styles to your bathroom accoutrement. The curtain is very refined in white rayon taffeta until you get to the two enormous circles of bright green oil-silk, inserted so as to create the delusion of a couple of portholes. This gives the shower customer a great opportunity for observing weather conditions out side the shower, and likewise off, fers anyone on the outside look ing in the opportunity of confirm ing sad suspicion that somebody else got to the shower first. These porthole curtains are bordered al- so in the oil-silk, and while they sound little mischievous they're perfectly moral and most attrac. tive.

This question has been stud jed for half a century and cannot now be answered absolutely. But my opinion, from the evidence, is that it is due chiefly to the fact that the male brain grows some- what longer than the female and also varies more above and below the average. Thus majority-not all-the supreme artists would likely be males. However, as I have pointed out many times. the average intelligence of both men and women is almost exactly the same. By this theory there would necessarily be more cranks. fools

of wandering thoughts to go through her mind. Judge Thorn ton had been unkind, of course. He had not approved of his sons marriage to her. He had dis missed her from the office even be- fore that. Not for anything she had done. Just because she wasn't a member of the Junior league Now she was reinstated. Maybe not because he liked her. Or per- haps he had never really disliked her, but just resented her. He had no recourse now, though, He needed someone who could be em- ployed for a song-a scrap of song. And she was in the family. If she left, she would have a chance to get even.
 Then, too, there was the ques- tion of the added money. She lovely things. She would have van instead of the dropping ones which needed to be repaired so badly. She could have delicacies

For a second she was back in the old days-the days when Jack had gone far away on case and had called her one night from the Pa- cific coast. Even now she could remember how his voice had drifted suddenly from the wet, dark, stormy night. "Sue?" Just one word. Then 1t was gone on the storm and she couldn't get the connection again. There had been silence for weeks. He had been i'll and she hadn't known. She had vowed then that when she had him again nothing would take her away. And now |. she was being tempted by money! By thirty pieces of silver!
 Her eyes were frightened.
 "Oh, what's happened to me?" she asked Jack, and she clung to his hand little desperately. He patted it quietly.
 Nothing, sweetheart. It's nat ural to want to be appreciated and earn more money. Only .'' He looked away.

low 30 to 40 minutes for beans to cook and cook them uncovered in as little water as possible to pre- vent burning. It's a good plan to form the habit of shaking the pan in which they are cooking. The fiat shape of lima beans often causes them to stick to the bottom of the pan and scorch even when there is plenty of water over them. Shaking the pan prevents them from sticking without crushing the beans, as stirring would.

Obstacles in Path of
Stamping Out Slavery

Of the four principal slave nations,
Abyssinia is the only one TO make
even a start for better things. China.
Arabia and Liberia have done little
to end slavery, despite protests from
the League of Nations and most of
its signatory powers.
That fact is the principal reason
why Abyssinia was chosen as the
spot for the British Anti-Slavery So
cietys first great campaign against
an institution which has persisted
since the dawn of civilization.
Ras Tafari, the Abyssinian ruler,
is undoubtedly trying to rid his ma
ton of its 100000 slaves, but there
are many obstacles in his path.
Abyssinia is halfway between
feudalism and barbarism. Many of
the chiefs, while recognizing the au-
thority of the king, maintain their
own small armies and hold the power
of life and death over all their sub
jects. Many of their soldiers are
slaves, and to free them would great
ly weaken their owners power.
Some of the most powerful chiefs
own as many as $4,000 slaves. To
free them at one stroke would prac-
tically bankrupt the slave owners.

estate appeared one day at the
court of Louis XIII wearing a won
derful creation. the curls of which
cascaded over his neck and sent ten
drills in loving caresses down
about his collar. Louis, a man to
whom nature had been unkind, hav-
ing deprived him Of nearly all his
hair. seized with the avidity of
despair upon the new device aAd or
dered wig that for a riotous pro-
fusion of curls in every way
matched the churchman's noble con-
fection. With the benediction of
royal favor thus given, the wigs
popularity spread with great rapid
ity. finding an immense vogue, espe-
cially with the ladies of the court.
