A Model Breakfast

A well balanced breakfast in
cludes fruit or fruit juice; cereal;
an egg or bacon; bread or toast;
and milk, cocoa or cereal bev-
erage for the children, with cof-
fee for the grown-ups. The egg
or bacon may be omitted occa-
sionally, for an egg may be in
cluded in some other meal during
the day. But cereal in some form
is usually the mainstay of the
breakfast menu, and there are
many kinds from which to choose
both hot cereals and cold
cereals.
Hot or Cold Cereal
Some people have the notion
that cereals must be hot in order
to be nOurishing. This is a fallacy.

their lassitude is due to a skinny
breakfast. And children who 20
to school after an insufficient
morning meal cannot hope to
make good grades in their studies.
They fatigue quickly, find it diff
ficult to concentrate and easily be-
come cross. Moreover they are
apt to experience hunger pangs
during the middle of the morning;
and when it is time for the noon
meal they will either eat too much
or will have lost their appetite,
thus disrupting the entire food
program.
Starting the Day Right
It is therefore essential that
every homemaker recognize the
necessity for providing a substan-
tial and satisfying breakfast. This
is not difficult to do; nor is it nee
essary to spend great deal of
time in it's preparation.
When hear such complaints as
"My family won't eat breakfast"
or sThey're simply not interested
in food in the morning." I suspect
that the menus are dull and
monotonous; and perhaps men,
bers of the household have the bad
habit of sleeping so late that there
is no time to eat properly.
Both situations are easily rem
edied, and they are closely linked.
For if the breakfast menus are
made sufficiently attractive, it
won't be difficult to persuade
every member of the family to
rise little earlier in order to
enjoy a substantial, unhurried

School as "Dick"-has been inter-
ested in sand dollars and such for
many years. When he lived in
Madison, Wis, his home was filled
with things he had collected-every-
thing from rocks to birds nests.
And when he moved to Bethesda,
his collection was broadened to in
clude insects.
Dick could nearly always be
found with a net, going after but
terflies. He filled case after case
with wide variety of specimens.
from the most commonplace moths
to the most beautiful butterflies.
After a while, his interest changed
again, this time to include bones of
dogs. cats. goats, horses, etc. Then
he became interested in the fossils
to be found along Chesapeake Bay.
In the last few years Dick has
collected about 5000 shark teeth,
ranging in size from a little larger
than a pinhead to 5 inches. Most
of these he found between Ken
wood Beach and Long Beach, Md.
The largest one he found at Cove
Point, Md.
The marine miocene deposits
along the bay are among the best
in the world, according to Dick.
There are approximately ZOO spe-
cies, most of these being shells.
"Other good places to find miocene
fossils" Dick said, ARE Jones Wharf,
on the Patuxent River; the cliffs
q of a mile south of Plum Point,
on the bay, and about IA miles
south of Cove Point Beach"
A book that has helped Dick in
his studies is the Miocene Volume
of the Maryland Geological Survey
1904. 1t took him six years to
find copy, he said.
When he completes his course at

Adventures With Snakes

Ridge Mountains I had a rather
interesting experience with this type
snake. Lying in bed one night I
heard dishes rattling and a soft,
crawling sound. The following
morning I found that one of our
cups was missing.
This continued for two more
nights, and I later learned that a
black snake had carried away the
cups. These reptiles have been
known to carry away all they can
find that is hard and shiny.
On the same trip my brother and
I were washing in creek when
we saw a water snake slither from
rock and swim rapidly toward us.
After that I washed less often and
watched more carefully.
Often, when returning from a
swim in Michigan, variety of
snake called blue racer" would
practically fly across my path. It
Is astonishing to me that snakes
can travel at such speed when To-
comotion is effected only by mus
cular contraction of the body.
The largest snake I ever saw was
summing himself on a large, fiat
rock in a swamp in Michigan. He
may have been puff adder. as the
upper portion of his body was ex-
tremely large. He was Of q bril-
liant yellow, with spots Of black-a

This summer my mother thought

OF everything that she put up. It
would give me something to do;
also, it would be educational.
I have tried to keep a record of

me nickel for each jar that has
kept when We open it during the
winter.
I prepare whatever I am can
ming, preserving or jellying' and
have it all ready for cooking in the
jars. My mother cooks her fruits
and vegetables by the cold-pack
method. With this method, you
have to use a lot of boiling water.
