Ice Cream
AS Dessert
In Summer
Special Recipes Give
Opportunity for
Much Variety.
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

bI EDIIn WI. DhhDLns
NOTHING tastes better for dessert
on a warm night than ice cream.
OF course, you know what store in
your neighborhood offers your favorite
ice cream, which may be bought in SO
MANY faVOrS. You may like to serve
a chocolate carmel or crushed fruit
sauce with this ice cream.
II you have an automatic refriger-
ator you WILL of course. like to make
a frozen dessert with its help from
time to time. For this you will need
special recipes, as 1t is not possible
to get a smooth mixture with the
use of a recipe whose directions call
for turning in freezer. All kinds OF
mousSeS which are made with favored
whipped cream can be made success
fully in your refrigerator.
There are also q number OF other
recipes which are not quite so rich,
but which give satisfactory results.
Perhaps the easiest and least expen-
sive are those made with the base Of
sweetened condensed milk can make
them in my own refrigerator without
stirring, but refrigerators differ and
you may find it necessary to beat the
mixture when it is half frozen. The
time which frozen mixtures take also
depends upon the type Of refrigerator.
II you have a cold control, two hours
is usually long enough, otherwise you
will have to allow four or five hours.

HOW [ KEEP

BY UNA MERkEL.

your fundamental requirements are
the same and, as such, must be given
serious thought and attention.
Like most other things nowadays,
linen closets have fallen under the
budgeting spell, and shops are show
ing complete linen outfits all coming
within certain price ranges. That
will simplify matters for the girl who
Is not too sure just what she must
have, and who must bring her desires
and household pride and Joy down to
plain dollars and cents.
*
THERE is nothing more soothing to
l. the heart of the conscientious
housekeeper than beautifully Kept
linen closet with well-stocked shelves.
Piles and piles Of snowy linen. or softly
pastel shaded sheets and pillowcases.
with a broad shelf for downy COM
forters and fuzzy blankets-all are
a never-failing source of delight and
pride. But remember-as in all things
OVERRIDING Is as bad as underesti-
mating your needs. and too many
superfluous articles will make your
carefully arranged closet look like a
Junk pile in very short order.
Here is q list of fundamental neces-
stiles to adequately stock linen
closet at an approximate cost OF less
than $40:
Six bath towels.
Six face cloths.
rYoht fare towels (linen)
Two bath mats.
Six tea towels.
One tablecloth (white).
Six napkins to match.
Six sheets (single).
Six pillow slips.
Two pairs blankets.
Two conlforters.
One bridge set.
Two sets dresser scarfs.
Four colored table mats and four
napkins to match.
Three fancy guest towels.
THIS list was compiled and bud
l geted by experts In domestic fields.
Far be it from me to pit my brains
sonal housekeeping experience OF
many years there are few items
they mention that I feel might
be replaced with others which they
have omitted.
For instance-how about leaving out
the bridge set and the fancy guest
towels, and substituting two single
mattress pads? Not as decorative,
perhaps, but very essential and practi-
cal Also, the chances are that among
wedding gifts the bride will receive
bridge sets and fancy towels galore,
so that in actually purchasing the
necessary equipment for her closet
she does not have to really spend
time or money on these items.
The white tablecloth mentioned
would be best If bought in q lace or
embroidery version rather than Just
plain. for a plain damask cloth calls
for a silencer underneath it when
placed on the table, and that Is an
additional expense, of course. In the
average newlyweds' home, If 1t Is to
be run on a small scale, the coarSer
peasant linens and colored sets are
really more appropriate. Usually two
such sets may be purchased for the
price Of the heavy damask one.
Tor the bride who is able to spend
- a larger sim on her linens, the
feld Is, of course, widely extended.

Fun at Home
BY RAY J. MARIAN.
Playing Polo on Foot.

YOU do not need a string Of polo
ponies to enjoy this fine game. If
you have a large, grassy plot in which
to play, you can arrange goal posts at
each end, then make yourself q polo
mallet and use a tennis ball for
making the scores.
Make the mallet with q two or
three inch tree limb for q head and
a broomstick for handle. Cut and
trim the tree limb to an S-inch length.
Bore a hole in the center on slight
slant, then whittle the end Of the
broomstick to fit. Nail the head
securely to the handle to keep it from
flying of when you swing at the ball
during play.
For goals, use two upright stakes
with a top bar. Goals about 4 feet
wide should be sufficient for easy
scoring. Provide goal posts at each end
of the field.
-Four players should be on each side.
The object Of the game Is to hit the
ball through the opponents goal. Score
S for every goal made.
You can make your own rules for
this improvised polo game; or play it
as If 1t were hockey. There will be
plenty of exercise obtained In charging
after the ball, and II your fellow
players have good imaginations. they
can make out as If they were riding
spirited polo ponies. Lots Of fun and
plenty of keen competition can be had
between teams with games of this sort.
And remember-in real polo the ball
is hit with the side Of the club, and
not the end.

The Echo
IN THE days when the gods dwel

IN THE days when the gods dwelt
upon Olympus, zeus and his queen,
Hera, ruled the immortals. On the
earth were spirits who resembled men,
lovely creatures among whom were the
water npmphs. Zeus often slipped
away from Hera. his wife, and visited
the earth. She became jealous of his
journeyings when he refused to tell her
where he went.
One day she followed him and dis
covered him among an assemblage Of
nymphs who pelted him with flowers.
Echo. one Of the fairest, spied Hera
among the trees and began to chatter
and laugh loudly. AT this. Zeus glanced
up, and seeing Hera, fed back to
Olympus
Hera was angry. for she hadn't
wanted to be discovered, so she de-
cided to punish Echo for her chatter
ing. She took from her the power OF
speaking for herself, and made her
able to repeat only the last words
spoken by any one else. So Echo
wandered away by herself. unable to
chatter again.

Herb. "You know Hicky didn't mean
you weren't as brave as any other girl.
He just meant

Emily. He said girls were towards.

THERE was a long silence follow

expression on his face.

you. But you'll have to prove it to

I'll prove 1t to him! Just give me

Ronnie spoke slowly. while a little
smile played around the corners Of
his mouth.

house, didn't it?" he inquired. Nov,
I know you're not afraid of haunted
houses, Emily. And If you went out

Of March, some sections Of the
Western drought area have failed to
find relief from the serious condi-

Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Idaho and
Montana are still affected.
Coupled with the relief in the rest
Of the drought area, however, come
reports that most Of Florida and the
coastal areas from North Carolina to
Florida are threatened with drought
this year.
The unusually high March tempera-

Caring for Pets
BY HORACE MITCHELL.
Fire Protection.

You know, you can learn lot from
having things happen. You see
fellows acting foolishly and you decide
not TO act that way yourself, or you
see some almighty fine person and you
want to be like him. Well, it's the
same way with events. One man has
his home burned and 1t makes all of
us think about the danger Of fire.
Out Of our fire I've culled few ideas
that ought to help YOU
We've always been careful to avoid
any chance Of fire starting in our
buildings, and 1t was because Of this
that we had a far lower loss than
might have been the case. Never, un-
der any circumstances, do we allow
any one to smoke, or hold q burning
cigar, cigarette or pipe in OUR barns
or bird houses. There is always dry
litter on the floor and q spark would
find good fuel there.
When the buildings are cleaned all
litter is piled some distance away
from any building. Manure rots, you
know. and this decomposition gen.
crates a heat that can start a fire.
When the brooders are set up in the
Spring the stoves always have between
them and the floor a heavy sheet Of
iron. and the whole floor area warmed
by the stove Is covered with inches
or more Of clean sand.
In every house there is running wa
ter ready for use throughout the year.
Nearby is hung length of garden
hose. If q fire starts it would take
only a minute to connect the hose and
soak the flames down.
Another thing: No greasy rags are
allowed to accumulate. Greasy rags
can set a fire by spontaneous COM
bustion. And all hay that goes into
the mows is strictly dry before it Is
stored.
OF course, all Of you are not subject
to these hazards, but it is a fine idea
to be perpetually guarding against
fire. Have the pet houses arranged 50
that the stock can be liberated quickly
in case of fire.
Think these things over. gang! It
will save you from losing pets you
dearly love.

to get the money to manufacture .

kind, but was unsuccessful. Had
Tatin had q gasoline motor to work
with, 1t Is very possible that he might
have built really successful ship.

terrific pressure Of the air caused his
wings to collapse and he fell to his
death.
One Of the most puzzling problems
that faced these early inventors was
that of motive power. The gasoline
engine had not yet been developed
and no other form of engine was light
enough to be practical.
A Frenchman named Trouve made
a novel attempt to overcome this diff
Guilty with the machine illustrated IN

ciple which makes a curved tube

is forced into 1t.

many earlier inventors spent their
time and money on trying to build q
flying machine.
Men have envied the birds for CEN
turies, and various devices for flying
were tried many, many years ago.
Even after balloons enabled human
beings to get into the air, they still
wanted to ascend in heavier-than-air
machines. Many dreamers lost their
money and quite few lost their lives,
in trying to fly machines that today
seem ridiculous to US. But 1t was from
all these experiments that men gained
the knowledge which later made the
airplane possible.
One Of the most persistent and most
foolish notions was that men could
fly by the power Of their own muscles,
as birds do. Even after it was proved
that this was absolutely impossible,
inventors continued their attempts.
