DR. E H HaSseltine, microbe hunter
of the United States Department of
Public Health, who was stricken with
pSittacosis and was thought dying in
the Marine Hospital at San Francisco,
Is rapidly recovering after being given
a serum made from the blood of two
of his friends in Washington.
The serum was rushed to California
after 1t had been made by scientists
of the Public Health Service here. 1t
was made from a quart of blood do
mated by Drs. Charles Armstrong and
Edward Francis, both of whom had
suffered with parrot fever.
Two kilograms from DR.. Hasseltine
himself Saturday and Sunday an
nounced to the Health Service officials
here that he is fast recovering. The
telegram Sunday was addressed to
DR.. S. L. Christian of the Public
Health Service.
Asked if any progress had been
made in the development of serum
for the cure of the fever through the
treatment of DR.. Hasseltine, officials
of the Health Service said further
research would be necessary before
they would be able to say. They ex-
pect, however, that DR.. Hasseltine will
have some announcement as soon as
he is fully recovered.

Another short cut which is not toler-
ated in the making of fine furniture
is the nailed-over back for chests, buf-
fets, dressers and the like. Just as
like as not the nailed-over back is apt
to curl into a figure eight sooner or
later. Backs must be accurately fitted
into the side and tops, into grooves
made to receive them, then glued and
fastened with wooden bowels. The
backs then become one with the piece.

Good furniture starts with well cured
and properly dried wood. Freshly cut
lumber must be both air dried and
kiln dried to just the right degree.
Too much moisture, and the furniture
made from such wood will dry out in
the heat of the home, chair legs will
loosen, dresser drawers will become
ill-fitting, joints will give way. Too
little moisture and absorption will take
place later in the life of the furniture
then will come warping table tops,
dresser drawers that become too large
and stick, Joints that swell and give
way.
But even perfectly cured lumber can
not entirely insure smooth sliding
drawers. Down underneath the drawer
there must be a very important little
slide, fitting perfectly into an equally
important groove. Thus 1t is that
drawer either slides out and in with
out the slightest side movement (and
without the slightest exasperation) or
wabbles from side to side sticking
midway on its trip.

There Is a creed among makers of
fine furniture that banishes the use
of the nail. And even the screw is
something of an unwelcome item used
very sparingly and only under protest.
Nails do not hold fast over the years
and are unsightly as well. Fine furni-
ture artisans use only wooden bowels,
little wooden pegs which are fitted
perfectly into the holes bored to re-
ceive them.

So here are a few suggestions
for some new sweets with which
to surprise the youngsters wher
they get home from school:
REFRIGERATOR CHOCO-
LATE COOKIES
u cup shortening
u teaspoon salt
IA cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
~ cups sugar
2 squares melted chocolate
l cup bran
1 egg, well beaten
2 cups flour
/ teaspoon vanilla extract.
Cream the shortening, add
the sugar, and mix thoroughly.
Add the egg, salt, melted choco-
late and milk. Add the bran,
which has been rolled fine.
Sift flour and baking powder
together and add to the first
mixture. Add vanilla.
Shape into rolls, wrap with
waxed paper, and place in re-
frigerator overnight. Cut in
thin slices, and bake in a mod
crate oven $3.50 degrees) for
about Is minutes. This will
make so cookies.
PECAN PRALINES
(theSe are marvelOuS).
/ lb. brown sugar.
u lb. Shelled and halved pc
cans.
4 tablespoons water.
Set the sugar and water to
cook, and as the mixture begins
TO boil, stir until it begins to
thicken slightly. Add the pc
cans, and let all boil until the
mixture begins to bubble, and
to turn to sugar. Remove
quickly from fire, and turn onto
a wet marble slab or buttered
dish. Cut into large rounds,
let dry, and raise gently from
the slab with a flat knife.
These Pecan PralineS are de-
licious, and are an old New Or
leans speciality.
If you like, you may chop
some of the pecans into small
pieces, but keep a number At
them in halves, as they add to
the looks and richness of the
confection.

year, or be made differently.
Some of the smartest dresses
were of tiny, indistinct pat
terms that almost look like a
plain color at a distance.
Dresses of such materials are
trimmed in contrasting color, a
scarf, a belt, collar and cuffs
of one of the colors or of white.
Some of the splashier prints
have no trimming of plain ma
terial, but are intricately and
subtly cut to fit beautifully,
but at the same time to give a
look of simplicity. These
dresses usually are in one Of
the newer colors or new shades
of old colors. so that they will
look a little different.
New reds, rosy tones, rusts,
yellowish greens and greenish
blues are among the .colors
used this way. Gray has a
place in them too, and back
grounds may have black or
white in them.

The Rhyming
Optimist

Analysis


o, what is love? A dream con-
spires
To hide reality;
I see you as my heart desires,
And love the you 1 see!
If to my mood I fashion you,
The fault is mine alone;
You are a stranger to my view
When once the truth is known.
It is not you then, when I love;
But some fantastic shape
Whose verify you cannot prove
Nor from its claims escape.
The you I love is nobler far
Than man could ever be,
Endowed with splendor aS a
star,
With power as the sea!
Were I to thrust the dream
aside
From word and from caress,
Some need in me would be
denied
And I must love you lessl

very long, almost touching the

all the way to the tight cuffs,
which are of Russian crochet

This same color outlines the
split of the sleeves and makes
the high-standing collar. The
buttons, down the front to the

WHY Continue

Why Continue
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For three years we kept COM
pany, were devoted and made
plans for our marriage, but all
that is now changed. I spoiled
things by showing him how
jealous I was and he seemed
to enjoy hurting me by telling
of his conquestS over other
girls.
I've had plenty of invitations,
too, but I didn't flaunt them
in his face. Sometimes he's
very nice to me, but for one
good time I pay up with ten
that are bad.
Lately he's been drinking a
great deal, doesn't keep his
dates, and when he does, is
often under the influence OF
liquor.
The climax came the other
night when he inSulted me in
public. My parents have never
cared for him. Under the cir
cumstances, do you think it
wise for me to keep on with
him?
A DISAPPOINTED GIRL.
Your parents, as is often the
case, sized up this young man
better than you were able
to do.
Considering that he is rude
to you before people, comes to
see you under the influence Of
liquor, breaks dates, and flauntS
his conquests, what would you
get out of this friendship, my
dear girl?

Poor Circulation

Poor Circulation
Dear Miss Shelby:
What causes pimpleS on the
arm between the shoulder and
the elbow, and is there any way
to correct this?
Would lemon juice help to
whiten the skin on the face,
and if so, how should it be ap"
piled?
Sincerely, D. w.
Dear D. w.:
Pi1npleS on the arms, some
times called "goose pimples" are
not ordinary pimples, but tiny
elevations around the roots Of
the scarcely visible downy hairs
that grow all over the body.
Often this condition betrays
neglect of daily scrubbing and
rubbing Of skin, and also lack
of good circulation.
A daily bath and shower, fol-
lowed by a brisk rundown with
a coarse towel and proper at
tention to diet and exercise,
will help insure a clear smooth
skin. Use corn meal and butter
milk mixed to paste, rubbing
it gently on the rough surface
with a circular motion. Be care
full not to bruise the skin by
rubbing too long or too hard.
Rinse off thoroughly, pat on
