A chromium plated electric cof-
fee urn stands out through being
equipped with something new in
fuses. This Is an eight-in-one elec-
trical gadget that controls that old
bugbear-a blown fuse, that may oc-
cur when an electric coffemaker is
left on until the water boils out.
This new fuse is wheel with eight
openings, connecting with the heat
ing element of the coffeemaker.
Should one fuse blow" the cook has
only to turn the device to the second
fuse-and the urn is ready for i'm
mediate use once more.
Also in the cofee-making line we
find tiny new "percolette" that is
the perfect solution to the problem
of making just two cups of good cof-
fee at time. The rich. strong cof-
fee flavor can be brought out prop
erly, even with a small quantity.
The little coffee pot is elf-measur-
ing, easy to clean and made of
bright, shining aluminium.
ConSerVeS Space on
The Stove.
If you need more room on the
top of your stove, don't overlook a
new cooker that is making it's debut.
Aluminium makes it: it has an inside
2-quart pan and an outside 5-quart
pot; it may be used satisfactorily as
pot roaster, a steamer for vege-
tables, a cereal cooker that leaves no
top crust, and as general utility pot
for soups, steWs and dumplings. Ard
all over one burner!
Stainless steel is fast becominr
another favorite medium for com
bination kitchen-and-tab ware
Cooking and serving food from the
same dish has long been popular as
tlme-and-heat saving method
but for SO long the articles that
could go in the stove and take it,
weren't very attractive when placed
on the dining room table. The steel
articles take care of the situation
nicely, and are sold with heatproof
trays to prevent marring the table.
These come in several colors. and re-
peat the general motif of the steel
dishes. There are all sorts of sauce
pans, frying pans, casseroles, roast
ers and so on, which may be pur-
chased in sets or singly.
Heat retention over a long period
Of time after removal from the
stove is seen in the delightful copies
Of old French brown pottery o.
earthenware casseroles. These come
in a number of sizes, with or with
out long side handles, and are Won
derful for keeping the main dish hot
at buffet luncheon or supper. Here
again the food is cooked and served
in the same dish, and many an cpl
cure has declared that nothing gives
quite the fine flavor to certain in
gradients as that of the reddish
brown, rough-surfaced earthenware
container!

long, long time, conserving fuel
mighty important in those days
when grandpa had to fight his
way through blizzard to the wood
shetland that foods cooked in them
required less water and turned out
tenderer. The main drawbacks to
these utensils, of course, lay in their
weight and in their cleaning. But
Grandma loved them, just the
same!
And now her granddaughter Is
about to discover that she, too, can
nave the same advantages in her
pots and pans as grandma did,
but minus the cleaning and lifting
difficulties. There is a cast alumni
mum now being used to make kitch-
en- utensils that will hold heat,
conserve fuel and cook with little
or no Water-but is light enough to
be handled comfortably and may
be cleaned just like any other
aluminium. There are a variety of
saucpans, kettles. frying pans, grid
dies, coffee pots and SO on now
available in this material; that
should be of great interest to the
housekeeper who likes to keep her
kitchen model of efficiency. There
are some roasters that enable one to
do excellent top-stove baking-and
think of what JOY that will be
when summertime comes again to
Washington!
Other New Items Come
To Local Shops.
Always on the prowl for means to
bigger and better coffee making, !
have been much interested in some
Of the new urns. pots, percolators
and whathave-you that grace the
housewares shelves. There is a
complicated but attractive affair
that has several sections to it; it
comes in metals, glass, or pottery, as
you will. The actual coffee-making
method includes special filter. said
to refine and clarity the brew. and
the steady progress of the water
through the very fine grounds makes
an especially rich infusion. There is
also heating system that will keep
the coffee hot without letting it boil.

Il want it. I want 1t, and she
won't give it to me-"
Give it to him. Marie. Can't
you see he wants it?"
But it's mine"
20, never mind. I'll get you an
other. Give it to him. Don't keep
him yelling for it."
you said that last time, but you
didn't get me one and he tore up
my new blank book. This is the
only one I have, and, anyhow, you
don't -"
You let him have it, I say, and
don't tell me what I did or didn't
do. You just do what I tell you
and don't let him keep yelling his

But mother -"

wants. If have to come cut

"All right Don't blame me, that's
all. Here. Take the bottle of ink.
I can't help 1t if you drink 1t or if
you get it all over everything. You
gotta have 1t. Here 1t Is Take it,"
Marie! Marie! Are you crazy?
Stop that! He can't have the ink
and you know 1t"
well, I tried not to give 1t to
him, but you made me-"
Where Is that ink? I'm trying
to get nap after being awake half
the night and this is the kind of
time I have. Where is that ink?"
II hid it. You don't think let
him have it, do you? I had to make
believe I did because you were
hollering so at me. If he yells for
something, he thinks he has to
have it because you make us all
give in to him. If I had given him
the ink-but you yelled at me to
make me. I don't know what to do.
Believe me, if he belonged to me,
I'd soon show him he couldn't have
the moon just by hollering for it."
Marie, give me a rest, for good
ness sake. I guess you're right.
Well have to do something with
him. Sonny, let Marie put on your
hat and coat and you go on the
swing. Now don't begin-good-
ness!"
You go and lie down, mother.
I'll manage him. Come on, Sonny.
Well 60 out and let mother be
quiet. Yes, you will. I have some
thing for you out in my pocket"
Once outdoors Marie guided her
charge to the swing. II want that
balloon" said Sonny, spying his
neighbor with red balloon tied on
whipstick.
Listen, Sonny. You just stop
wanting things you can't have.
You can't have Ernie's balloon. If
you yell one yell I'll take you down
back and I'll take this slipper and
I will warm you! You understand?
No more yelling, no more I want.
That's better. Now here you go up
in the swing?"
When there are four or five chill

am yours truly, MRS. j. F. B.
Answer
1t is very difficult to bring more
color into a room that has sheer
green curtains at the window. The
light Sitting through those Is pre-
dominantly green in spite of any
thing else you can do: If you can
use the green curtains anywhere
else in the house, you would sim
plify your problem by using cream
or ecru glass curtains and warm,
rose-rust overdraperies. Otherwise,
I would suggest that you use over
draperieS over the green curtains,
in warm rust tone and then use
small bits of lemon yellow and
orange red in lamps or vases or
any small articles.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am contemplating having
winged chair recovered in artificial
leather Can you tell me If this
wears well; how does one take care
of it, and could 1t be redone at
home? MRS. G. G. S.
Answer
The coated fabrics that resemble
leather have a remarkable wearing
ability. If you select cream or white
the only care they need is to keep
them clean, which may be done with
soap and water. If you have up
holstered several chairs there Is no
reason why you should not attempt
this one, but If you are novice
it would be better to select another
fabric or have it done professionally,
as the leather" Is stiff and unwield-
ly to handle, and must be done ex-
quisitely to be satisfactory.

born with fluid personality that
enables them to adapt themselves to
others without friction. But, for the
most part. the art of getting along
with people is something that any
one can learn who has the will and
the patience and the fortitude to
make an intensive study of his sub
ject.
In reality, the rule for getting
along with people is almost as sim
pie as the recipe for making a
sponge cake. It consists of one part
forbearance, two parts tact, three
parts concentration on peoples's vir-
tues instead Of their faults, and
the whole sweetened with plenty Of
humor and good nature.
A few compliments, little appre-
citation, kindness in time of trouble,
little jollying will keep you out
of the divorce court, turn an enemy
into a friend and get you a booster.
But thinking hard thoughts of those
about you and magnifying their de-
fects will bring you nothing but
grouchiness and darken your days
with hatred. So cultivate the art Of
getting along with people. It is
worth while.
Dear Miss DIX went to a
fortune teller last night and she
told me that within a year both my
father and mother would die. Do
you think I should put any belief
In her predictions? Father is in
fine health. and the more I look at
him I cannot believe that he is
about to pass away, but I am ner-
vous wreck after hearing such news.
MAE.
Answer: Nobody can foresee the
future, and you are foolish to
waste your money on fortune-tellers,
or put any faith in their predictions.
For proof of this consider the fact
that nearly all of these fake seers
are poor, while if they had any Of
the powers they claim of telling
what Is going to happen they could
make a fortune any day in the stock
market. DOROTHY DIX.

Dorothy Dix Says
Ability to Get Along With People
Is a Valuable Accomplishment

Considering that the gentle art
Of being able to get along with peo-
pie without friction is the most
valuable accomplishment that any
Of us can possess, and the one that
pays the biggest dividends, it is
curious that we make so little effort
to cultivate 1t.
All Of us know that in an over
crowded world, that is getting more
and more packed every day, that our
happiness and our success depend
upon our being able to keep of of
our fellow creatures toes. We may
be the best doctor or lawyer in town,
but we will have no patrons If we
rub everyone's fur the wrong way.
We may carry a nifty line of goods
in our shop, but We will have no
buyers unless we have first sold our
selves to our customers. We may
be a gifted actor or a crackerjack
accountant, but If we are always in
a row with those with whom we
work we will get nowhere. We may
have married the finest man or
woman on earth, but we will end
up In the divorce court If we bump
into all Of our mates peculiarities
and prejudices instead of sidestep-
ping them.
Hence the Importance Of learning
to dwell in peace and amity with
those with whom we are forced to
rub elbows every hour Of our lives.
Yet parents who bankrupt them
selves to give their children a COL
lege education never bother to even
give them a kindergarten course
in salve-spreading. Men and women
who spend years fitting themselves
for some learned profession never
put in a moment In acquiring
suavity and diplomacy in dealing
with others.
We assume that being what Is
known as q mixer" is a gift, like a
tenor voice, or having a bathing
beauty figure, something that nature
wishes on you at birth and that is
grand to have, but which Is not your
fault If you lack it. To certain
extent this is true. There are people

Brewers Within One
Victory Of Capital
SandIot Honors
Conquer Pepeo, J to 0;
Championship to Be
Decided Saturday

At the expense OF a jittery Pepco
club, Heurich Brewers today were
within a game of the District sand
lot baseball championship and the
right to represent this city in the
National Amateur Baseball Fedora
ton tourney here next month.
Spanking the Government League
champions, TO, yesterday on East
Ellipse, Heurich has only to repeat
its victory over Pepco Saturday to
capture the crown. Should Pepco
triumph in the second of a three
game series, a third game will be
played Immediately after. Action at
Griffith Stadium Saturday will start
at 1870 pm.
Erratic Pepco fielding and the
seven-hit pitching of Ed Colliflower
stymied the Government League
tossers, who saw their chief scoring
threat fade into oblivion when Cleon
Chumbris allowed a third strike to
sizzle by in the fifth with the bases
loaded.
Joe Garvey was nicked for eight
hits by the Brewers, but some of
those safeties were tainted. Dick
Knight, for instance, was credited
with a home run when Eddie Fitz-
patrick and Chumbris slumbered on
a hit which should have been no
more than single.
