In the second place, 1t is terrifying

Native Scottish Tweeds.

Do you know that there is only one
place in the world where genuine Har-
ris tweed Is made? 1t is in the Outer
Hebrides. group of bleak, windswept
islands off the coast of Scotland The
famous tweeds are made there by the
native crofters in their thatched huts
as they have been for generations. To
be genuine Harris tweed, the wool
must be grown in Scotland and all the
processes of carding, dyeing and spin
ming must be done on the islands.
The weaving must also be done there.

Protecting
Beauty in
Snowy Air
Few Helpful Hints on
Caring for Skin Dur
ing Winter Sports.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

DERHAPS you're up in the North
countree," with the snow crisply
crunching beneath your feet, the air is
cold, but clear and invigorating, you're
on skates or skis, dressed in ski pants
and parka, and your spirits are as high
as the hilltops. If your eyes are shiny
and you are laughing it matters not
that your nose is a wee bit red the
only time this grave beauty sin Is for
giveable, mind yoU.
If you're as wise as you're happy you
have the only exposed part of the pic
ture OF you protected. too. The sharp
est eye may not see it, but under your
rouge and powder there's thin layer
of protective cream which is the grand
secret of your smooth skin. If you're a
mean little mink you tuck it away in a
hidden corner and let the world go on
wondering on how you keep that deli
cate skin SO satin smooth, with nary
sign of chap or pucker. On the other
hand, if you're quick and frank to ad-
NIT that you're a modern (and If you
have another sin-generostty in ex-
cess you're probably passing that pro-
tective cream around.
The combination OF protective
cream, rouge and powder acts as BAR
rier against wind and weather. Pow
der, by the way, may be used little
more generously than usual, partlcu-
larly since it will blow off more quickly
than usual anyway Under your lip
rouge use the same cream or a colorleoo
pomade And don't forget to treat
your hands with special consideration.
Even if you have fur mittens on for the
most part, there comes the one minute
when you are adjusting skates or skis
and that's the very minute the cold
winds wait for to do their chapping,
biting bit.
Use less soap and water than usual,
too. Limit the washing, II you must
wash your face, to once a day on re-
tiring. But use cleansing cream gen.
erously at other times, particularly for
cleansing your skin before and after
going outdoors. And after the cleans
ing at night be sure to use rich emol-
lient or lubricating cream. leaving
thin film on overnight.
Wear goggles when outdoors. for tho
effect on the eyes of sun on white snov'
is quite as glaring as sun on Summs
beaches. Use an eye lotion when COM
ing indoors to relieve smarting which
isn't unusual after Winter exposure
And keep away from the fire when you
come in, for the heat in Itself is drying

meat products. 1t stresses the neces-
sity Of using only the steam-pressure
canner in processing canned meat.
According to the bureau, the water
bath, oven and steamer without pres
sure are not safe for canning meats.
In a recent release on this same
subject the bureau says:
A LII meats and poultry for canning
should be handled in a strictly
sanitary manner. Unless the meat Is
to be canned at once, it is necessary
to chill the carcass after slaughtering:
otherwise decomposition will start
within a few hours. There is little
difference in flavor or tenderness of
the canned product whether the meat
Is chilled or unchilled. Raw meat Is
easier to handle after chilling and
may be held for few days until con-
venient to can.
Chilling the meat does not mean
freezing it. However, if the meat
has become frozen it may be canned,
but it does not make high-quality
product Do not thaw it before can
ming Cut or saw the frozen meat
into uniform strips ! to 2 inches thick
and plunge at once into boiling water
Simmer until the color of raw meat
has almost disappeared; then pack
and process.
THE preferred utensils for meat
canning are made of enamelware
aluminium. retinned metal or STAIN
less metal. Do not use copper OF
iron equipment, as it may discolor the
meat. Never allow meat to remain
in contact with galvanized iron more
than 80 minutes, or the meat may
take up harmful quantities of zinc.
IF the meat Is cut on wooden
surfaces, such as chopping blocks OF
counters, or in bowls, or handled with
wooden spoons or mallets, use special
care in cleaning to free the wood from
bacteria. Scrub with soapy water
to remove all grease and then rinse
with boiling water. If they are used
for several days at a stretch they
should be disinfected with hypo-

COurtesies
And Good
Manners
Graciousness One OF
Child's Best Assets
in Life. $
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE manners children have usually
can be traced directly to the
family habits and customs. What
father does, what mother says, Is
good enough for the children and
they loyalty follow pattern.
Donald, nine years old. was playing
on the garage floor when his father
entered to take out the car. Listen,
you," he shouted as though the child
were fields away. "Scram." Donald
picked up his toys and betook himself
elsewhere. Father took the car out
and went his way without thought
Of the bit of training he had given
his son.
At the end of the month Donald
brought home his report card One
Of the items bore little note in red
ink. After the word Manners" the
teacher had written, Poor. Rude
speech; crude"
"Hows this?" asked father, frown-
ing. Don't you say Excuse me-?
Hasn't your mother taught you to
say Please and Thank you and
not to pass in front of people and all
that?"
Yes sir"
Then why don't you do as she
tells you? I should think you'd feel
ashamed of such report. No movies
for you this week, young man..
Mother pondered this thing. Just
what had the child done to have the
teacher make that note on his card!
She felt that there must have been
something extraordinary behind it.,
and the longer she thought about 1t the
more she wanted to know. She went
To school and asked the teacher,
"Just how did Donald offend IN his
manners? I try to teach him the
best know how"
"Yes, I am sure of it. I knew you
would want TO know. Donald has
q rude way of talking. Not to me,
but to the other children in class. When
he wanted Isabelle to make room for
him at the study table he shouted:
Listen, you. Scram.' That Is not the
way a boy should speak to a girl IN
his class, now is it?"
It is no sin to use the vernacular.
But it is no point of grace either, ana
grace is sadly needed in everyday
life. What one says and, more I'M
portant, how he says it, impresses
people and becomes the measure OF
the man or woman. If you think over
the list of people YOU know you can
readily point to those whose manners
and address are positive barriers to
their hopes and ambitions. The un-
cultivated voice, the careless speech,
the rude address repel people. Friends
are made by those who know how
to say pleasant things pleasantly.
It can be said that hypocrites know
this and practice 1t. They do-some
of them. But the great majority OF
well-mannered, well-spoken people are
sincere. Good manners are the ex-
preston of a disciplined. considerate.
cultivated mind. They have roots IN
the spirit.
Good manners begin with the alpha
bet of Excuse me; Thank you; II
YOU please" and develop into the
gracious, courteous, thoughtful atti-
tude of friendly cooperation that says,
without words. s"Friends. let US go
together"
