Add Mincemeat Novelties To Your Gift Baskets

Christmas gift baskets and boxes filled with holiday dainties . good things to be served and en- joyed all during the holiday sea- son surely there will be more of these friendly greetings than we have passed around for many year.
 In every basket mincemeat, sym bol of the season, will of course be found in some form not always in jars tied round with Christmas ribbon: not always in luscious Christmas pie, but of- ten in such novel ways as mince- meat cookies, mincemeat ginger bread and scones, which are easily transported.
 Tn days when the ingredients of all cookies were "home grown" mincemeat came just after the harvest, at the time of putting down the meat. But now, when fresh beef suet, the fruits and the spices are easily obtained on a moments notice, n1incemeat may be made at any time of the year. There's still time to make our own, even in the tiniest of kite chenette apartments or we may buy delicious mincemeat ready made, in containers convenient for

 Many beauty preparations on cosmetics counters right now were made especially to solve the com plexion problems of winter sports enthusiasts. One who plans to spend winter holiday skiing, skat- ing or just hiking around in the snow ought to investigate.
 A ski kit of rough burlap. with bright printed challis lining, is equipped with special founda- ton cream which protects the skin and at the same time pro- vides an excellent base for rouge and powder. Also bright lip stick-rather oily to keep lips from chapping, a cream cleanser and a roll of cleansing tissues. An unfitted compartment is just large enough to hold cigarettes, com- pact, handkerchief, few pieces of change. The kit has long handle which you sling over one shoul- der.
 A colorless lip pomade is some- thing male as well as women ski CTS and skaters should know about. It comes in regular lip- stick case, Is not expensive. Smooth 1t on whether you have hand mir TOT or not-it won't leave uneven edges around your mouth.
 And-not exactly a beauty item, but something you might like to wear when skiing or to give to some winter sports fan you know -there is a sterling silver pin, shaped like a ski, on top of which is a thermometer that registers accurately the temperature from 30 degrees below zero.

 Another reader would have air. conditioning and all the modern electrical appliances in her home, but thinks Q house with ramp or incline instead of stairs would not be odd House but Queer House. She says 1t would be as hard or harder to climb ramp or incline than 1t is to climb stairs. If Mrs. w. J. W. who proposes the ramp finds stair climbing too difflcult she should build an elevator in her house or have one installed--it can be done more readily than a ramp could be built or installed in place of stairs, for the ramp would require twice the ground space flight of stairs requires. (Mrs. R. L. R)
 Western reader points out that just so much energy is expended lifting Q given weight twelve feet. up a ramp or scale e ladder. He informs us that the watch towers in old French chateaux had in- clines, but the cleats to prevent slipping made them practically stairs with low risers. (D. o. B.)
 Another eastern reader begs that

This implies that odd House should have an cleo. trical house number, that is, one with illuminated figures, SO that c wandering stranger may find it without arousing the entire neigh borhood or getting himself shot as Q prowler.

Mrs Adams hasn't read many of the latest books-perhaps none. She doesn't know what Paris has de- cided about hairstyles and she couldn't mix a cocktail without someone directing her efforts.
 But while she is not smart in that sense of the word, she is smart in its time-honored meaning. She knew just how to meet her hus- bands anxiety, and how to hide her own, during the year when, any Saturday night, he might have found litle pink slip in his pay envelope.
 She knows how to cut and sew so well that her children have no dread of wearing "hand-me-downs." !"

 Iodin
 You suggest keeping vial Of iodin in the medicine cupboard, to apply as first aid wound disinfectant and to take as iodin ration. We agree, only we keep vial for internal use locked up, and another vial for use as application to wounds. Don't like the thought that some one may have used brush or dauber In iodin and then touched c wound with it. (E. K.)
 Answer Thank you. It is . good suggestion. But no brush, dauber, applicator, dropper, glass rod or toothpick or other object used to apply iodin to the skin or . wound shrould be put back in the vial-- better wrap wisp of absorbent cot. ton on toothpick to use as applica. tor, then destroy the applicator.

SHAKE-UP COMING
IN PRISON GROUPS
Appointment of Pitts May
Mean Ousting of Ward
en- and Physician
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm Tho Sir walter E1t,t~l

Raleigh, Aug. disappointment of
oscar Pitts to be superintendent OF
PRISONS effective September 1, fore
casts shakeup in the personnel of
the prison department., notably at
States Prison here
No drastic tearing apart need be
feared, however, as neither Mr.. Pitts
nor Robert Grady Johnson, soon to
become Director of the Prison Dc
partment and Mr.. Pitts immediate
superior, is likely to risk throwing
operations of going department into
a state of chaos. They are not that
kind of men.
Principal victims of personnel
changes are likely to be Warden Fl.
H. Honeycutt, at States Prison, and
DR.. George S. Coleman, prison ply
stefan; though neither johnson nor
Pitts has even vaguely irtimated
what changes, if any, he has in mind.
In fact Mr.. Johnson has been ex-
tremely clOse-mouthed in the matter,
pleasantly parrying all queries with
the reply that he isn't even in office
and cannot possibly make any state
ment as long as he is without de-
finite official status.
AS result there has so far been
not even an inkling of the identity of
the successors of Warden Honeycutt
or of DR.. Coleman, in the event that
they are really on the way out.
The prison warden has been con-
nected with the department for near
ly quarter-century and it is not I'M
likely that some other place will be
found for him. DR.. Coleman has been
connected with the service for some
eight or nine years. Both he and War
den Honeycutt were appointed to
their present posts during the George
Ross Pou regime.

ONCE UPON AUGUST FL

Next to Lincoln himself, Stephen "A.
DOUGLAS had the most to do with
making Abraham Lincoln President.
DOUGLAS was a giant in politics be-
fore Aug. 21, 1858, the date ne began
their historic debates, Lincoln minor
figure. After the debates, their posi-
tions were quickly reversed. Remem-
boring that, few candidates for office
nave been willing to share platforms
with their opponents since then.
The occasion was campaign for
United States senator from Illinois.
In those days senators were not chos-
en- by popular vote. Candidates had
to try to elect legislators who would
have them in the choice of senator
by the State legislature.
Ottawa had the first debate, fol-
lowed by Freeport, Jonesboro, Char
lesion, Galesburg, Quincy and Alton.
Douglas upheld popular sovereignty:
he maintained that the people of
each territory should decide whether
it be a slave or free state. Lincoln
maintained "a house divided against
itself cannot stand-I believe this gov
eminent cannot endure permanently
half slave and half free He also
said, ''The ballot is mightier than the
bullet"
The debates lost Lincoln the Senator
ship, but won him the Republican pres
idential nomination.
There's many slip between nomi-
nation and election, as all know. Ben
jamin Harrison, who was born 1O4
years ago yesterday, polled 100000
fewer votes than Grover Cleveland in
1888, yet was elected President by a
plurality of electoral votes!
