White sauce for boiled potatoes,
caulifiower, carrots and asparagus
can be dressed up by a liberal
sprinkling of paprika.
When measuring syrups or mo-
lasses, dip cup in hot water and
mixture will not stick to the sides
of the cup.
One pound of loaf sugar is suf-
ficient for serving Is persons.
Chewing gum can be removed
from washable material by soften
ing the gum with egg white, then
washing.
Tasty Nuts.-To give better
flavor to nuts heat them for five
minutes in a moderate oven. Such
heating is especially advisable in
the winter time when nuts are like
ly to be stale.
Garnishes.-Thin slices of lem
ons, oranges, lines or grapefruit,
sprinkled with sugar and broiled
10 minutes, make effective and
tasty garnishes for roasts or fowls.
Red or green jelly, dotted on top
of the slices, gives added color
and flavor.
Cooking. Apples.-Apples are
over 80 per cent water, thus in
cooking them only enough water
should be used to prevent them
from scorching or sticking to the
pan.
Preparing Starch.-To give a
glossy finish, use soapy water in
preparing starch for laundry.

Kaleidoscope, and the Whirlwind.
The third is the Ann Rutledge,

an original in the Rutledge Tav-

Lincoln boarded, and where he
courted the proprietor's daughter,
according to the romantic legend
so familiar to movie goers. 1t is

you couldn't fool" Cy says. And Cy
fooled most of them.
In Boxing
Who was the all-time top Of the
little fellows in boxing?
There was Jimmy wilde, ssThe
Great Atom" q 105-pound fly
weight who for years whipped men
who were Is to Is pounds heavier.
! saw Wilde near the sunset of his
career when he, Bob Edgren, Jack
Wheeler and I played golf together
before his fatal battle with Panch0
Villa, the pounding Filipino, who
nailed him after the bell had rung.
Wilde's frail system was loaded with
disaster for his opponents until villa
caught him ON the downward trail.
And I'd like to give you Harry
Greb, who at 100 was whipping Gene
Tunney, and Tom Gibbons, and who
mauled Jack Dempsey all over the
ring in a workout. He almost
wrecked 180-pound Jack Dillon, The
Killer. Greb thought nothing of Civ
ing away 20. 80 and 40 pounds. And
he would still win in common can
ter, going away. They began to beat
Greb when he was blind in one eye
and half blind in the other.
The all-tirne top in tennis for the
little men was Little Bill Johnston Of
California, now living quietly along
the Pacific.
Little Bill once told me his normal
weight was around 1l6 pounds Yet
in 1913 he beat Big Bill Tilden
three ont Of four sets for the cham
pionship, and always carried Big
Bill head and head into the stretch.
Johnston had forehand drive
worthy of someone who weighed over
ITO pounds. 1t was terrific -smok-
ing hot. And that from man whose
normal weight was considerably less
than 125 pounds.

the clerks attention, a mother and
a daughter fell into conversation be-
side me. Or rather they continued
conversation that had evidently
commenced some time before.
The girl was about IA, extremely
pretty, correctly dressed, and with
the right hair-do. The mother had
wistful eyes that hung adoringly
upon her daughters beauty.
II like the dollar one real well,
Doris" she said tinidly. 81 b'leeve
Miss Foster would like it."
II think it's lousy" the girl said
impatiently, as though she had said
that before. ''If I can't send her
the other I'll not send her anything"
''That'd hurt her feelings, and you
going to her wedding" the mother
offered, gently.
"Of course it would" the girl said
angrily, tears in her eyes. "But I
don't have to 60 to the wedding! II
! have to wear my old blue outfit
/ don't see that I'll be much of
sight at the wedding. I wish just
once we could do things like other
peoplel A five-dollar box, and we
can't afford it, deariel"
May Regret Her Attitude.
She said the last words with
sneer and squeak that showed she
was impersonating someone who
called her "dearie." Her mother,
of course. And someday if the
gentle, pleading voice is still, and
Doris ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, no money,
no doing things like other people"
will comfort her then.
When children are babies even the
simplest home can make them hap
py, if someone loves them there.
And when they are grown, and have
learned the value Of home love, the
utter, generous, devoted goodness
of Dad and Mother, then they come
back again, appreciative and wiser.
But in between is this bad period,
when they can't and won't UNDER
stand that one mans modest salary
can't be stretched beyond certain
limits, that food and rent and light
and laundry and carfare and shoes
have to come before new radios
and English sweaters and college
parties and beauty. parlor charges.
Unusually wise parents take them
into the family council, show them
where the money goes, enlist them
on the budgets side. But lots of
parents aren't wise; they long with
all their hearts to give their children
all that other youngsters have, and
often they all but wreck married
love and home peace in doing it.
Some youngsters have never
thought about this angle Of the home
problem in this way. Perhaps il
they act upon it they may have
few less dollars to spend this win
ter. But they win be laying up
something that in a few years they
would not sell for many thousands
of dollars.

Unconscious Tyrants

d Youngsters in their teens,
says Kathleen Norris, often un-
consciously give their parents
their most anxious moments.
q They kno,O so little of family
finances then and haze so many
desires. If they only kneto "fhe
panic their Iightest sOord could
create" they might be more
merciful, Miss Norris thinks.
q Parents naturally sUant to give
their children every luxury they
can. Are they sUise to go beyond
their means?
q Wise parents take their chill
dren into their confidence, shosU
them ,Uhere the money goes, and
enlist them on the budgets side.
d This would add to the content
of mind for all, both in the pres
ent and in future memories.

Range Of Family

Owing to the variety of ways in
which people live, the United
States census bureau, for census
purposes, is obliged to place a
wide meaning on some of its
terms. A family" or those who
constitute a household, ranges
from a man living alone in a tent
to a thousand inmates living to-
gether in an institution. A dwell
ing" or a place where persons
sleep regularly, ranges from a
freight car to hotel.-Collier's.
