Carrots, Cabbage
BY MARY HOPE NORRIS

Founder Mothers Radio Round TGhse.
NOTHING is more commonplace
than carrots in the diet of a
growing child. That is why it Is so
important to fix them differently
many times. They will seem like
something new If you will scrape and
cut new carrots in strips, cook them
in boiling salted water to which a
little sugar is added, drain them, add
one-fourth cup of butter, two table
Spoonfuls Of lemon juice and two
tablespoonfuls Of finely chopped pars-
ley. Coat the carrots well with the
parsley butter and serve at once.
Carrots With Cream and Chives-
Then the next time you must serve
carrots. mash them or put them
through a potato ricer, add little
heavy cream, butter and seasoning,
sauce dish, sprinkled with finely
chopped chiveS.
Carrot Cabbage Peanut Salad
There will never be time when chill
dren will refuse this healthful salad,
which combines vegetables and nuts.
Use equal parts of grated raw carrots
anc rAbbage crtsped and shredded as
fine as a hair. Season lightly. add
q few teaspoonfuls Of chopped or
ground peanuts, mix with a boiled
salad dressing and serve on crisped
lettuce
Cooked cabbage should be very
carefully prepared for children. d.
not use the f1brous center steam-onlJ
the tender parts Of the leaves. Shred
the cabbage. crisp it In cold water,
then cook in boiling salted water only
until tender not until the cabbage
is wilted and boiled down. Drain and
use the cooked cabbage for any one
Of a number of combination or cas-
serole dishes, such as, for one
Cabbage au Gratin.-Another pleas
ing recipe for cabbage cooked as out
lined above is this one. which calls for
four cupfuls cooked cabbage in q but
tered casserole; add two cupfuls white
sauce seasoned with two-thirds cup
grated cheese, sprinkle top with but
tered crumbs, dust with a little
paprika and bake in q moderate oven
until crumbs are Drowned.

Yellow Flycatcher.
Empidonax fiaviventris.

- HY and retiring dispositions and
efforts sounding like a Sneeze
instead Of singing are two
~ things that have kept many
from becoming better acquaint-
ed with the lovely yellow fiycatcher.
When bird keeps out Of sight and
his voice Is one that makes slight i'm
preston on your ears you have little
to go on, so far as inducement to seek
it out Is concerned.
The tall tree tops and the thickets
are the places to look for this smallest
Of f1ycatchers. 1t is the only Eastern
species that has a yellow throat. II
you are in the woods and hear fun
ny little 'pse-ek. ah, pse-eek," 1t is
the little yellow-bellied flycatcher ex-
pressing his thoughts.
For company, this little forest
dweller has the Acadian flycatcher.
The two have often been mistaken
for each other. Both love the cool,
quiet woods, near a stream, where
there are bound to be millions Of juicy
insects.
Singing comes hard with all the
members of this family. The best
this fellow can do, when he wishes to
sing his love song, is a plaintive wall.
Watching this effort is to arouse your
sympathy and pity. The singer shud-
ders, almost as If he were going into
convulsions, shakes his head and tail
with stiff jerks and finally produces q
rather sad little whistle.
However, he IS doing his best, and
1t is not only understood, but appre-
ciated by the lady Of his choice. Even
when on their journey south, with all
family cares behind them, they are
silent.
In June you will find the nest sit

Nancy Cans Elderberries,
Makes Jelly and Pie.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

NUT near the country home of
~ Nancy'S mother were a number
of farm houses that were almost sur
rounded by elderberry bushes. When
Nancy drove out to her mothers one
day she stopped with Joan at farm
house and asked whether she could
buy some elderberries. She was told
she might If she would go out to pick
them herself. That was easy and be-
fore many minutes Nancy was driving
back to town with a large basket Of
the fruit.
And now that she had 1t, what was
she to do with it?
Peter and she both liked elderberry
pie. Some of the fruit would go fresh
into a pie that night. But she would
have to do something with the rest of
the fruit.
She knew she could can the berries
and use them for pie fruit next Win
ter. The fruit was successfully canned
in the oven, 275 degrees for 35 min
utes.
When consulting her cook book she
found she could make elderberry jelly.

fruit is washed and then picked OF
the spreading stems. A coarse
toothed comb kept for this purpose
does the work easily and quickly, al
though the fruit may be pulled OF by
hand.
The pie plate is lined with crust,
two-thirds of a cup of sugar is mixed
with two tablespoons flour. Half OF
this is put into the bottom Of the pie
plate Then the fruit Is put in. Elder
berries lack flavor, so a handful OF
unripe green grapes are added. Or
the juice of one lemon is put in. A
little grated lemon rind is good in any
case. Sometimes a dash of CHINA
mon is liked in addition to the acidity
of the grapes or lemon. The re-
mainder of sugar is now put on and
the top of the pie is criss-croSsed or
covered with paste to make a two
crusted pie.
The elderberry jelly is best made
by using the commercial pectin. This
comes in bottles. Each bottle has a
recipe book attached. Nancy knew
that these recipes must be followed
with exactitude If good results were to
follow.

Little Benny.
BY LEE PAPE.

DOP was smoking and thinking to
himself, and said, hay pop. If
one fellow does something and an
other fellow tells on him, is that one
Of the werst things you can do?
It is indeed, in fact 1t is regarded
as the objectionable sin even in the
very lowest division of sissiety, and If
one gangster peaches on another 1t is
the last peach Of Summer as far as
he is concerned, pop said. In all
ages the informer has been looked
upon with contempt and aversion, not
to say scorn and contumely mingled
with repellence and diskuSt. Even
the spy in war time, the holder of
position Of CRATE danger and trust,
suffers the base stigma Of being the
man who tells, and even when he
is executed by the enemy his own
countrymen are unable to feel true
sympathy for him. I devoutly trust
that no son Of mine will ever run
ana CdCL1e, ne SalQ.
Meening me, and I said, Didn't you
ever, pop? and he said, Most emfati-
cally not, in fact the produest emblem
on my coat of arms is the Latin phraze
Nix Squeelamus, meaning NUNS the
werd.
Well then G., pop, I hope you wont
start now and tell ma on me, said,
and pop said, What the dooce is going
on here? Have you been laying trap
for me behind my trusting back before
my innocent face?
No sir. pop, just mean about me

mirrer with a handle that she don't
hardly ever use and mite not even

oelibritly remind her, I said, and pop
said, Well for Peet sake what did you
tell me for?
Because it's not suppose to be hon
orary for me to brake anything or
anything without admitting 1t before

uated in upturned roots of trees or in
fallen tree trunk or, sometimes, in a
bed Of moss. Shady mountain slopes
are the choice spots. The cradle is
made with a view Of comfort for the
babies. The outer walls will be Of
strong moss and lichens. The inside
will be furnished with soft grasses
and fine rootlets. Usually there are
four creamy white eggs, with many
pale brown marks about the larger
end. Try to find these skillfully hid
den nests. You will have more re-
spect for these builders when you see
how clever they are in the selection
of site and material.
The members Of this family take up
a position along the line Of travelling
insects. When likely fellow comes
within reach the hunter launches
forth, and the sound of his bill re-
ports a good catch" If you are for
tunate and can find quiet, comfort
able place to rest in, while you watch
the tactics Of this insect hunter, you
wish he would come out In the open
and devote himself to the myriads Of
flies that could be had for the catch
ing.
You will find this fiycatcher in
Eastern North America. The length
Is about 51z inches. There is slight
difference in the size Of the parents.
The father has dark, olive upper
parts. The throat is yellow and the
breast an olivish yellow, shading to
pale yellow underneath. The wings
have the same olive green tint as the
tail. The underwings are soft prim-
rose yellow, with dusky gray toward
the outer coverts. The upper beak is
black, the lower one whitish or flesh
colored and there is pale yellow eye
ring. The babies are clad in bright
er yellow, with brighter wingbars and
they look more like their mother at
this age.
From Labrador to Panama, and
westward from the Atlantic to the
plains, you may see this shy fellow, II
you visit his haunts He and his fam
lily Winter in Central America.

~ EDDY FOX was filled with
- rage when he discovered that
X enss e, more or; wlsglsnose W s1y9s had had
clover in the middle of the
morning, instead of in the afternoon,
as on the day before. What" he
had exclaimed when Wigglenose told
him, and for just that instant had
shown his true feelings, for he had
snarled. Yes, sir, that exclamation
had been a snarl But he had recog-
nized his mistake instantly and had
followed 1t at once with grin which
he tried to make as pleasant as pos
sible.
That's fine" said he. "It tickles
me to think that should have found
that patch of clover so near that you
can run over there any time of day.
I wonder what Old Jed Thumper would
say If he knew whet he has missed
and you have had" Old Jed Thumper
was the gray old Rabbit who had
tried hard to drive WigglenoSe out of
the Old Pasture.
WigglenoSe chuckled. i can guess"
said he
'I suppose that under the circum-
stances you will hardly feel like going
over there again this EVENING"" ven-
tured Reddy.
WigglenoSe shook his head. I'm
not hungry" said he You know
there is a limit to the amount one
can eat
Reddy grinned. Il didn't suppose

can eat" said he ANY one who has
a chance to eat to his limit is lucky.
I have had such chances, but they
have been few and far between. Most
of the time I get just about enough
to take the edge of my appetite. I
often wish that could eat grass and
clover, for then I could always have
q full stomach"
What do you eat?" asked Wiggle-
nose, whereupon Reddy hastily
changed the subject
Il doubt if shall be up this way
for a day or two" said he, "for Mrs.
Reddy and I are planning a little trip
over In the Green Forest. I've en-
joyed these evening calls and when
we return I shall call again. Take

With this Reddy trotted off Wiggle-
nose watched him out of sight. He
scratched one long ear with a long
hind foot. Then he scratched the
other long ear with the other long
hind foot. He was remembering how
Reddy had been surprised into that
one snarl when he had learned of the
morning visit to the patch of clover
He didn't like it" thought Wiggle-
nose. Il wonder why. What differ
ence to him does it make when I eat?
Why is he so anxious to go with
me to that clover patch?" Then he
remembered how from the time he
could first hop about his mother had
warned him to watch out for Reddy

Suitable When Unexpected Guests Come
Dress for Larger Woman Has
Stamp of individuality
and Refinement.
BY BARBARA BELL.

"HE dress in today's sketch
valves the serious question Of
sleeves with an Oriental ges-
Il ture that vaguely involves the
outlines of the classic kimono.
The elimination OF sleeves this Fall
In what we call occasional dresses"
Is matter for rejoicing among women
who spend a great deal of their. time
in household occupations that re-
quire the unhampered use of their
arms.
This frock is. indeed, very happy
choice for that indispensable garb that
can be depended upon to look right if
guests Unexpectedly drop in when you
are in the thick of some mighty chore.
The material may be tub silk-soft in
texture and color-sometimes plain
and smooth Of surface. sometimes
showing woven pattern. Cottons,
too. are Of interest this Fall. They
come in a new range of Autumn
colorS-brilliant blues, greens of every
share, terra Gotta and warm tile. The
fabric, Of course. must be suitably
light In weight so that 1t will wash
as easily and successfully as a hand
kerchief
The inserted yoke in the skirt
breaks the monotony Of this otherwise
plain design. In its pointed outline
there is feeling of response to the
pleasing shape of the jabot. The
back Of the dress, like many of the
newer things, is perfectly plain. Darts
are placed in the front of bodice to
insure an ample fit across the chest.
1t is details on this order that give the
stamp of individuality and refinement
to simple. useful frocks of this type.

Conquering Contract
BY P. Hal SIMS.

To East's horror. North trumped the
king Of spades with the six of hearts.
North now played the ace of dia-
monds. There was no harm in tax
ing that trick before returning a club
for South to TRIUMPH South could
trump a club.
South could trump a club. In order
that there might be no mistake in his
partners mind, he played the five
spot of diamonds on the ace. Since
North held the deuce and trey, and
the four was showing in dummy,
North knew that South was asking
for switch. He obediently switched
to the six of clubs.
East hopelessly played a small club
and South ruffed with the three OF
hearts. He then caShed the king Of
diamonds. North and South had now
taken two diamonds and two trump
tricks. To be perfectly frank, South
didn't see where the setting trick was
coming from. There was only one
play to make. however. South led
the jack of spades. East covered with
the queen in dummy.
"Say!" said North happily, should
I hold OFF,"
He ruffed with the king OF hearts.
East then claimed the rest of the
tricks, and South, who was putting
down so points on his side Of the
scorepad, cordially gave them to him.

said West bitterly. How many over
tricks we're you playing for2 After

morning Wigglenose suddenly decided
that he wanted some more clover and
that this would be as safe a time as
any to go for it. So away he went,
