portrayal OF a young man who can
pack a wallop If he has to, but who
would rather not; who would rather
accept life for what 1t is than tight
to make it something he feels 1t

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

+. To reheat cereal, place in dou-
BILE boiler and stir while cooking.
This is better than adding water,
which tends to make the cereal
lumpy.
Try combining CLAIMS and
cooked corn. The flavors go espe.
cially well together and are de-
licious made into soups, stews,
croquettes or cakes (nlixed with
mashed potatoes and deep fried).
Egg stains on table linen should
be soaked in cold water before
laundering because hot water sets
such stains.
If you do much sewing at night,
a bridge lamp with arm extended
right over your sewing will give
you the best light. A shade of off
white or pale amber gives the
most restful light.

ertheless; especially for the box
factory. He knew, from his
position in the bank, what the
situation was down there. The
box factory was desperately
struggling to keep open at all.
Its credit was strained to the
utmost. Wilton, who owned
most of the stock, was a sound,
honest, Woodworking man. He
hoped to keep the factory going
if possible, to provide positions
for certain of the toWnsfOlk
who would be in bad shape
otherwise.
He couldn't pay them. yet,
what they ought to have, and
no one felt more sorry about it
than Wilton. Yet if he did in
crease their salaries the bank
would have to shut down on
his credit and the factory
would close, whereas, if the
men worked along with him,
perhaps in the near future he
could increase them. What a
mess,
He looked at Evelyn, think

to her: but it was impossible,
he realized. She wouldn't

he would park it. He did, eau

Larry was a likable young
chap. Spander had always
admired him for certain of his
qualities. He was generous; he
was courageous. Spander
looked at him now. His black
hair was POLITICALLY disordered,
his intense brown eyes large
and filled with altruistic fervor,
his hands gestiCulatlng wildly.
Spander listened. What Larry
was saying was all perfectly
true. Damnably true. But,
Larry, not being privy to bank

know that poor Wilton was
helpless in the matter,

Evelyn who was involved, halted his before

them.
