When one can set such pretty lit- tie breakfast tables by using lace paper sets, tt seems Q senseless waste of time and energy to insist on li- llen, which soils 60 quickly, takes so long to wash and iron. With the paper doilieg one should of course, use paper napkins, taking care to have them harmonious in color and design. And wherever possible, have dish washing by using those pretty paper dishes that are decorated in Colors as dainty as any china. These can be used for bread plates, fruit plates, service plates under the cereal bowl, and for like purposes which do not require one to eat warm foods directly off the paper plate. The same economy of time and labor holds good for the luncheon and picnic supper tables.
 The finest kind of toweling for wiping glassware is cotton crepe. Out 1t into yard lengths and him 1t. You will find crepe is readily absorbent and leaves no lint.
 To clean bottles, cruets or decan- ters, partly fill with warm water to which you have added two table, spons of vinegar and one of salt. Shake well and rinse in cold water. If stains persist, use the raw vine- gar and salt undiluted.
 To prevent the juice from leak- ing out of juicy berry pies, cut the lower crust Q half inch larger than the top crust and fold 1t over like a hem. Then pinch together or mark with the tines of fork, as usual.
 A nice blended flavoring for choc- olate icing is achieved by using cof- fee to Hnoistel the confectioners' sugar instead of water. For white boiled icing, try blending one-half teaspoon of almond flavoring with one teaspoon of orange juice and Q little grated orange rind.
 When cooking inacarori, add one tablespoon of butter to the water, and the pot will not boil over. The butter will also irnpart q richer fla- vor to the xnacaroni. The same hint might be followed when cook ing rice, noodles or any other star. chy food.

(BY BEATRICE HALLl

There are so many brand-new recipes available these days through newspapers, magazines and leaflets that one is apt to forget the old favcrites in the pleasure of trying new ideas. Certainly 1t is Q good plan to try different recipes, but 1t is wise t0 remember that new things do not always out-class the old. Most of us ehudder when we look over old fashioned recipes and at- tempt to use them. Now days meas :ureinents are very difficult to know just how much is in "a ileapirg cup of flour" "a scant cup of sugar" or "butter the size of an egg" The tested recipes we have now give exact amounts and tell is to follow them carefully if we expect satisfac- tory results. But 1t is difficult to forget the delicious cookies that filled the cookie jar ct home and the puddings that tasted so good. It makes us want to try again and again and hope to find exact rneas- uresnents to use iil place Of the vague amounts itemized.
 one food formerly used g great deal but which in late years has lost much of its popularity is Tnolasses. The jug of fnoIasses in the old faiI1i- 1y pantry was just as important as the bag of sugar is today. It is not fair to say 1t is just as important, for molasses stands far above sugar in value as 6 food. It supplies more than just energy as 1t is less refined product, one that has not been proc cessed to the extent that ell the pro- tective substances are removed. Moiasses is considered Q fairly relia" ble source of iron, the mineral that is needed to help make rich blood.
 It would be well to renew the use of molasses and for that reason several good old fashioned recipes including 1t are brought up-to-date here for your convenience. Undoubt- edly you have many old recipes at home which seem pretty useless. suggest that you try them several times, always measuring each ingre. dient carefully. When the desired results are obtained, you can then put the corrected amounts in your file and no longer have the ui1cer" tainty of inadequate directions.

Why "Jeffersonians''
Are Opposing New Deal
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
JefYersonian Democrats are opposing
President Roosevelt at this time: !. Be-
cause he has repudiated the platform
upon which he was elected. 2. Because
he has substituted socialistic experiments
for democratic principles. 8. Because
he has substituted loose construction
of the Constitution in place of the party S
strict construction. 4. Because he has
done nothing to abolish the protective
tariff in place Of the Democratic plan Of
q tariff for revenue only. 5. Because he
has paid enormous subsidies to agricul-
ture at the expense of all other industries.
6. Because he arrogated to himself the
legislative function of government. 7.
Because although a lawyer he enacted
the N. r. A.. the A. A. A. and similar
measures which were palpably uncon-
stitutional. 8. Because he has abused the
taxing power by soaking the rich in his
Robin Hood" style for the supposed
benefit of the poor. 8. Although a col
lege graduate he has violated the rule
in political economy that governmental
regulation of production and prices and
the fixing Of wages and hours of labor
are illegitimate. 10. He has favored labor
unions with special legislation, and this
is in q measure responsible for the
prevalence of violent strikes throughout
the country at this time. 1t Is under

type Of the humble and lowly, really is
an art Of singular value, If 1t is so
intended. and not just taken as a means
Of getting somewhere

The difference, then, lies, as with all
arts. In the mind.
The mind, interested in something to
be seen along the way, will find even a
short walk, so long as it is taken with
purpose, admirably fulfilling the same
need which painting brings to some.
The need we have" as the book SAYS.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Walking, as fine art, has almost died
out in the city. And no wonder.
People are riding now, even for few
blocks. It's safer.
More and more are riding and fewer
walking all the time, with only the
hiking clubs left to do honor to pedestri-
anism.
Traffic regulations are becoming so
complicated that the walker Is shy OF
trying out his legs in the city.
Who can remember the days when
walking in Washington was a pleasure?
Now 1t is start, stop. until all the
pedestrian needs is a horn.
One has to look so many ways at
once, and leap 50 swiftly. If need be.
that walking in the downtown area Is
no pleasure at all any more.
Yet not so many years ago-between
6 and 10, If memory serves-walking to
and from work was fun, If one felt half
way in good spirits.
walking then was something TO be
done for the pleasure Of 1t.
Like fishing and hunting, natural ex-
pressions of the race walking gave sheer
satisfaction in the doing, all the more so
to sensitive persons who for one reason
or other preferred their sports to have
no killing in them. Now the pedestrian
is likely to become game.
, Walking, above all, was slow, so that
even the most impetuous were forced
to take their time, and thus see great
deal as they went along.
The pedestrian is the observer.
This always has been true, and 1t Is
true today.
One has time, literally. in walking to
see everything along the road.
There is still room for walking, OF
course and many persons still indulge
in this century-old sport. despite the
plain modern dangers.
For the person interested in birds,
trees, flowers. shrubs, geological forma-
tions, contours Of hill and valley. in
streams and strange formations along
the banks. in clouds and landscapes
and the ever-moving pictures OF the
seasons
Well. for these walking remains a
necessary part of life, although there
are many such persons who, feeling this
way, still never walk.
Now why is this?
1t is the strain of the age. which. espe-
cially in its trafic dangers, results even
in hubbub on Sundays.
This hurly-burly of the age SO dis
comfits them that their tendency is to
retire into themselves. which most often
means into their own homes, where,
with friends. books and music they pass
their leisure hours.
II
1t Is walking for these, in particular,
which is necessary.
Let them make a humble beginning,
irving a few blocks to get into the mood.
After this they may stretch the walk
out to suit themselves.
They will find in the end that 1t Is
not necessary to join hiking club and

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Warrior.

The Warrior.
Primeval man was all untaught
And crude of manners as Of speech.
He made himself q club and fought
The foe that strayed within his reach
He fought for shelter or for food,
He fought to conquer or to die.
He loved his own, though fierce his mood
And when ne fought he well knew why
As time has marched. the bugle note
Resounds instead Of natures growl.
Resplendent banners proudly float,
Where wild men once were wont 10
prowl.
The battle is q fearful show.
Primeval man was rude and grim,
But when he met and slew foe
He knew just why he hated him.
