one and one-half hours. Sounds
like a man-sized job but the food
cooked by this method is unSur-
passed in flavor, I was told.
Then while waiting for dinner
to cook, choose a tall shade tree,
and idle away the minutes by
weaving yourself a dish. This
unusual feat is accomplished by
choosing a green forked stick cut
ting it so that the prongs can
be tied to form the outline of a
minute Snowshoe.
Weave in and out with heavy
grass to fill the center Of the
frame.
The dish" is good for a serving
plate and also as toaster over
hot stones. Not such a bad idea,
though I believe 1 will continue to
rely on paper plates.
There are many other tips for
good camping technique such as
Stringing the food over limb to
get it out of the way of rowing
animals and bugs.
ONE-DISH MEALS
For wholesome camp meals on a
vacation, rely on one-diSh meals.
This eliminates much diShwash-
ing. A good Scout dish is Hunters
Stew. Perhaps its name comes
from the wide variety Of vege-
tables and meat that can be used.
From the sack, can, and cottage
ice box come the ingredients for
it. However. if you are pioneering
you will have only fresh vegetables
and perhaps a few cans to rely
on, In this case use diced canned
beef, potatoes, carrots, can OF
corn and tomatoes. Stew over
the open fire.
The time for cooking over the
open fire is deceiving. The fire
must be low and the temperature
even.
Richard recounts the first day
on K. P. duty in camp. 1t was his
duty to scrub and peel the Vege-
tables for the host of campers. 1t
was not until II o'clock that the
stew went over the flame, and it
was several hours later that the
hungry Scouts tasted this Savory
dish. I believe Richard was trans
ferred the next day to some other
chore.
Another special that is a man
special is made with canned
baked beans. Take the beans
canned without tomato sauce.
Open a can of Solid-packed to-
matoes. Put these into good
sized frying pan and cook over the
fire. While these are stewing, cut
into chunks a half pound of the
yellow cheese.
CAMP SPECIALS
Slice a large sweet onion. Add
the cheese, sliced onion, and q
green pepper, if on hand, and heat
gently until the cheese has melted.
This is the type of dish that needs
tender watching. After the cheese
goes in, stir from time to time so
that it will blend into creamy
mixture with no strings"
1t is a good trick to be prepared
on these weekend cottage excur-
Sions to the mountains and beach
and have available some quickly
prepared dishes. If you have a
speciality, send it in.

"Will you kindly let me know if
q hat should be worn by the mother
at q church wedding? r."
If the church wedding is in the
daytime, the mother of the bride,
like all the other women who at.
tend the wedding, should wear a
hat. If the church wedding is in
the evening and is formal, whether
or not the mother wears a hat
or some other covering for her
head" depends on the regulations

call, and he led his singleton. South
won the trick, led off his three top
clubs, then spread his hand for bal
ance of tricks.
All commentors. except Mr..
Heaton, felt that the only way to
defeat the bid was to figure the
contract gone unless both dummy
and declarer ruffed a third lead of
hearts. Then East, with his J-8
back of dummy's 1917, would over
ruff either club played by dummy,
forcing declarer to- ruff with an
honor, thus causing him later on to
lose trump trick either to East's
club outranking the one remain
ing to dummy, or to Vests estab-
lished of clubs.
Very saneiy Mr.. Heaton stated
that a heart lead by West, instead
of some other defensive tactics at
the third trick, would plainly show
that West held three trumps head
ed by either s or 8. hoping to find
East with the J-9 or J-8, depend
ing which top club West had. I'm
less West had that holding and
hoped to have good club made up
for him, the heart lead would be
folly.
Reasoning as he did, Mr.. Heaton
would not play Vests game by
rufing from dummy, instead he
would discard spade from
dummy. When East ruffed with 8
or j, declarer would overruff with
the Q, then lead another top trump,
picking up East's remaining trump,
and making the 10 in dummy good
for trick, by leading low club.
Declarer then could return to his
own hand by leading a low diamond.
His top trump would pick up
Vests last trump, after which he
could spread his cards for game.

gou. It can be readily grown on
a culture medium of potato juice
and blood. This spread out on the
bottom Of a shallow glass dish like
a layer Of butter on bread, is the
instrument used to make an early
diagnosis.
DisclOses Germ
It is called the plate culture
method. In the presence of an
epidemic in a house where there
are several children, if one has
what appears to be cold and the
parents want to be sure whether it
is whooping cough or not, they OBJ
tain some of the medium plates,
take the cover off, let the suspect
ed child cough on the medium, put
the cover back on and the plate in
ans incubator. The medium is
bright red, and if whooping cough
germs begin to grow on it, they
form colonies Of white.
This establishes the diagnosis be-
fore it can be told in any other
way, and if positive, the child is
quarantined and the chance of
spread diminished. It is only in
the early stage that the disease is
very contagious. When the patient
was just coughing and snufling,
when it looked like a common cold,
before the characteristic par
oxysms of whooping had appeared,
the plate culture showed growing
germs in 80 per cent Of the cases.
In the paroxysmal stage. GA per
cent were positive. And in the last
stage, when everybody knew the
patient had the disease, and avoid
ed him like the plague, he was not
putting any germs out at all.
In this last stage the cough is
probably due to the enlargement
of the lymph nodes along the wind
pipe. AS we said last week, these
can be shrunk by exposure to the
X-ray.

Crop Control Opposed

IN ITS annual convention in Har-

by the delegates, eventually will
result in bringing about condition
detrimental to the whole people.

in bringing about better distribution
systems and increasing the pur-

"Christ's Letter"

THE next time you receive copy

been written by Jesus Christ just
before the Cruciixion, don't be
afraid to disregard the warning that
misfortune and i'll luck will follow
you unless you pass it on to some
body else. For this is one of the
most famous of all hoaxes.
So far as it is possible to deter
mine, this letter was written by
some unknown person-perhaps a
religious fanatic-around 1891 and it
has been industriously circulated
ever since. The whole thing is a
stupid, clumsy hoax or modern
frame-up" says an authority on the
subject. 1T is even inconsistent

Britain Woos Hitler

VGSCOUNT HALIFAX, lord presi.
dent of the council in the British
cabinet, was in Germany ostensibly
for the purpose of visiting hunting
exhibition but actually to negotiate
with Hitler and other Nazi chiefs
for the establishment Of more
friendly relations between Great
Britain and Germany. Public be-
lief was that he was authorized to
hint to Hitler that there was hope
Germany might regain some of its
lost colonies if Germany would
abandon its economic isolation and
cooperate with other European
powers in a revised League of Ma

The British want to detach Ger

"The Animals Are Loose!"

ON SUNDAY morning, November
~ 8, 1874, shiver of fear ran
through New York City. Headlines
in the New York Herald proclaimed
that all of the animals in the Cen
trail Park zoo had escaped. The
story, which ran to FIVE full columns,
said that 49 persons were dead, of
whom q were identified, (their
names were printed and 200 were
injured. 60 of them seriously.
The mayor had issued a warning
for everybody to stay at home while
brave citizens, including Chester A.
Arthur, Samuel J. Tilden and other
notables, who had killed most Of
the ravening beasts, rounded up the
IL animals still at large. James
Gordon Bennett, owner Of the Her
aid. collapsed in his bed while read
ing the story and stayed there all
day. Other citizens also stayed at
home, thereby cutting down church
attendance. Those who did venture
out went heavily armed.
For several hours the city was in
an uproar. Then somebody hap
pened to read the last paragraph of
the story. 1t was headed THE Nor
al of the Whole" and revealed that
this was a gigantic hoax, the story
of what MIGHT happen if better
and stronger cages weren't provid-
ed for the animals in the. zoo.
In fact, that was what Thomas B.
Connery, the managing editor of the
Herald, who ordered the story writ
ten, had hoped to accomplish with
it. But he overshot the mark badly.
He gave the whole city the jitters
but the zoo didn't get stronger cages
for its animals, at least, not until
long after the excitement over his
hoax had died down.
