Talk On Simplified
Cleaning Given BY
Miss Fleda Smith

In the spring a young man S
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love-but the homemaker IS turns
to spring cleaning, some with the
thought that it is an awful bug
bear, others with interest and a
certain amount of pleasure said
Miss Fleda Smith, assistant state
leader of home demonstration
agents, who talked before the home
department project leaders this
morning on simplified cleaning.
She pointed out that in recent
survey in which homemakers were
asked to name the tasks they dis
liked the most, cleaning won the
second highest number of votes.
Miss Smith analyZed some of the
factors which make cleaning such a
bugbear and methods of overcom-
ing these factors so that cleaning
may be less of problem.
That the valley presents some
unusual factors that are not met
with in other regions was rec
ognized by Miss Smith who told
the women some of the things
which might make cleaning less OF
bugbear Leaflets, containing
valuable advice in the form of clev-
er rhymes were distributed to the
women.
Keeping dirt out of the house is
one of the major problems of the
valley homemaker and Miss Smith
went into detail on this problem,
also on the Importance of a sys-
TEN in cleaning and of knowledge
of how to clean efficiently. Suit
able tools which aid in cleaning
together with cooperation from
members or the family all aid in
lessening the burden of the home
maker.

Early Ocean Craft.

IN JOURNEYS across the Great
Lakes I have been carried time
and again by "paddle-wheeI" steam
ers. This type Of vessel has given
way to the screw propeller type for
ocean travel. but it is still used on
short voyages. and there was a time
when 1t served for crossing the At
lantic.
The beginning Of the steamboat
is a long and interesting story;
but In this series we shall only men,
ton that 1t was not the invention of
any one man. Papin and Jouffroy
Of France. Hulls and Symington Of
Great Britain, and Rumsey, Fitch,
Fulton and Stevens OF the United
States are among those whom We
must thank for making the steam
boat q real thing.
The first steamboat to cross the
Atlantic Ocean was the Savannah. a
paddle-wheeler which ran from Sa-
vannah, Ga. TO Liverpool. England.
In 1919. The voyage lasted 20 days.
Most of the distance was covered by
sailing, for the vessel carried sails as
well as steam-driven paddle wheels;
but for 30 hours the engine was at
work, and when the vessel reached
England, there was great rejoicing
over the deed.
A few other steamboats, crossed the
ocean in the 20 years which followed,

Nancy Page
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

PETER's business associate from
out OF town was going to be in the
home Office for week or so. Peter
and Nancy planned all sorts of things
parties, picnics after business hours,
trips to neighboring resorts, quiet eve
nings at the Page home.
Mr.. Berry said there was just one
thing he really wanted. mo, I'll take
that back. There are two things. First,
I want to see your home and the chill
dren. They must be almost grown up
now. And the next thing I want is q
dinner you have planned, Nancy. But
in that dinner want fried chicken and
apple pie. I have had both those
dishes at your house before and the
memory Is most happy one. Will you,
can you, make me an apple pie?"
"I not only can but will do it with
great pleasure, kind sir" she said. 'If
it is apple pie you crave, 'tis apple pie
you shall have"
Nancy used the hot-water pie crust
recipe for the bottom crust of the pie.
She planned to make the top of lat
tice work because, after the pie was
almost baked, she intended to put
some rich cream on top Of the apples.
First. she lined the pie plate with
the crust, building up good rim. Then
she mixed one cupful of sugar with two
tablespoonfuls -four Half of this went
on the paste in the pie plate. Then
the apples, peeled, cored and cut into
eighths, were laid in orderly rings on
top of the sweetening. Over them went
the remaining half of the sugar. Then
straps of pie crust were latticed across
the top. The grating of nutmeg went
on next. The pie was put into a hot
oven, $50 degrees, for 10 minutes. Then
a lightweight pie plate was laid over it
for the next 20 minutes. This was re-
moved for the last IS minutes of the
baking time, which totaled As minutes.
During the last IS minutes the tenn
perature was down to $50 degrees.

soil. When these eggs are six or
seven days old they begin to change
In size and become more spherical
BY the seventh day you can see the
larva through the shell and by the
ninth day the egg has doubled in size
as of the day 1t was laid. With
weather that is uniformly warm the
eggs will hatch in 81 days, cooler
weather delaying the Matching a week.
AS soon as the youngster emerges
from Its shell it is about one-sixteenth
of an inch long and hungry. 1t be-
gins at once to feed upon decayed
vegetable matter and tender roots.
For about 10 days it remains in this
stage. From IL to 30 days after it
matches the grub has its second molt.
At this time it has grown to about
one-half inch long, and the amount
OF food has much to do with its portli-
ness. BY September the grub has
grown to be an inch long and is eat
ing all the time. save rest periods.
The Winter is passed in this stage.
In the following Spring the larva
prepares a snug place in the soil in
which to complete its final growth
The cell is smooth and large enough
to permit the growing one to move
about as 1t expands. Gradually all
signs of this form are lost. and the
next stage, known as pupa. is in order
This semi-inactive stage lasts for 3
to IL days; then the larval skin splits
The pure white pupa is exposed. 1t
gradually turns a rusty brown or tan.
Eight to 20 days later it transforms
and splits this coat. With care and
patience 1t withdraws its body and
appendages, to emerge a handsome
adult. For several days it remains in
the cell until its body hardens.
The adult is beautiful. Its color is
bright metallic green, except the
wing covers, which are a lovely COP
perry brown. The under surface of
the body is covered with short, grayish
hairs, The legs are coppery green,
with dark metallic tintS. Watch these
creatures. They enter the soil late in
the afternoon to lay their eggs. The
parents are TO be found. the hottest
days. on the taller plants, for the
hotter the weather the better they

enced by his hundred honors. He
opened the bidding with one diamond.
North passed, and East bid one spade.
South boldly came into the bidding
with two hearts. Disdaining tc dou-
Bile, West bid two no truups. North

Suddenly changing mis- mind, West
jumped to five diamonds, which was

North opended the eight of hearts.
South studied the lead thoughtfully.
He knew that West must have the
guarded king of hearts for his no
trump bid. Furthermore" said
South to himself. my chances of
obtaining the lead are nil. If West
has the king of hearts three times,
I can take two heart tricks-or at

happened. He probably has two
hearts, and If play the ace and
the queen of hearts, he won't have
any hearts left to lead me. If I
could only get in again!"

Japanese Beetles.


~ INCE the Summer OF 1915, when
only few of these beetles were
seen in a nursery near Riverton,
~ N. j., they have cost US so much
that it hardly seems possible
that one insect could do so much
damage.
Though this pest is known in Japan,
it has never fiourished as it has in the
United States. The one reason that
the Japanese beetle has been so sue
cessful in establishing its family in
this country is the fact that 1t Is al
most ofnnivorous. It attacks many of
our most important crops; the fruit
and foliage OF the apple. peach. cherry
and crane. Then 1t viii 60 for the

Since the japanese beetle Is sup
piled with strong wings, it is fast
traveller, and in warm weather It Is
the delight of these pests to widen
their borders. Thus they spread mile
after mile.
Again, IL has found that In America,
the land of the free and abundance,
there were few enemies to contend
with. A most gratifying situation for
a determined insect with secretive
habits. Having left its troublesome
parasites behind it when. by chance,
IL came into this country as an infant,
in soil that elung to the roots of
nursery plants. believed to be the
Japanese iris or the azalea, the insect
felt secure in the country OF its adop-

The reason for this belief Is that
the larvae of the insect live for
longer period OF its life span in the
ground than as an adult or an egg.
Further. Il has been discovered since,

Several perennials should be

when they are more nearly DOR
mant than at any other time
during the Summer months.
They include the oriental pop
pies. which may be divided and
moved safely now: mertensiaS,
often called Virginia cowshps,
and cyclamen neapolltanum,

these plants in the Spring, but
they can be moved about with
perfect freedom in the next few
weeks. 1t is not too late TO buy
and plant iris; indeed, this is the
ideal time for setting out jap

close at hand.
