grade Of the flour depends on the
way these streams are mixed. Patent
-four is the usual grade sold In
retail grocery stores.
When you make fine cakes and
pastry you're interested in a tender
texture-not in strong gluten. In
fact, too much gluten makes the
cake tough and rubbery. So. for
cakes and pastry. the home baker
used a weak" flour that comes
from soft wheat.
Many homemakers prefer to buy
Just one kind Of -four that will be
suitable for anything they bake
bread, mullins, biscuits or cake. For
them. there is an "all-purpose" or
family flour. a blend of hard and
soft wheat, that has enough gluten
to make good yeast bread and will
also produce fairly tender cakes and
quick breads.
Most of the -four on the market
is the plain white kind-made from
the inner part of the wheat grain,
with the germ and most Of the bran
removed. But some -four is also
made from the entire grain and
sold as whole-wheat -four. graham
flour. or entire wheat flour The
crumb Of bread from this flour is
brown in color and the loaf is not
quite so light as that made from
the more common white flour.
Rye -four Is also used for bread.
but it is usually combined with
wheat -four because the gluten
formed is not very elastic. Rye
-four alone is used in making some
speciality breads, such as pumper-
nickel.
Flour can also be made from corn.
oats, rice, potatoes. soybeans, lima
beans and buckwheat. But none
of these fours contain gluten. So
you must mix them with wheat
flour to make a light loaf of bread

Bridesmaids
Walk Side

Ushers' Variations
In Height Does Not
Change the Rule
By EMILY POST.

Sometimes it happens that six or
eight bridesmaids are of nearly
the same height, and that the
ushers can at least be divided into
matching twos.. But sometimes the
unmatching heights are such as to
cause the bride a much worse than
metaphorical headache" A letter
this morning tells me: "Only two
Of my six bridesmaids are near the
same height. The ushers rise in
single steps from feet TO feet 4.
And the best man is shorter than
the maid of honor! Mother says
she thinks it would be almost better
10 let men and girls walk together
But this sounds all wrong to me, or
do you think this could be con-
sidered proper?"
A man and girl professional or
occasional is really wrong in that
it denotes a musical comedy chorus
or a multiple wedding or else the
grand march at public ball. I
wouldn't think of this if l were you!
AS matter of fact, their unmatch-
ing height will be made less obvious
by matching clothes. 1t will also
help little to emphasize the height
of those who walk on the left, the
side on which your father will walk,
rather than the right side, which
will be your side. The recessional
is not so important, since every one
is looking at the bride.
The 5-foot-5 usher must; of course,
lead the professional. the one near
est to him in height on his left. The
6-foot-4 usher will be on the left
side of the third row. Do the same
with the bridesmaids. The shortest
(or SMALLEST on the right side of
front row. The tallest on left side
of third row. The fact that the
maid of honor is taller than the best
man doesn't matter a bit. since the

other is during the ceremony when

Don't. be timid and play your color

stripes as a motif for your bed

In selecting inexpensive materials,
it is usually wise to choose dull fin
lshes that stand wear and cleaning

cal gauze. cheeSecloth and other
dull finished sheer materials. use
cotton crashes, monks cloth, percale
and calico. With voile, marquisette
and muslin. use chintz, glazed chintz,
Sateen and similar fabrics. For a
more luxurious effect, use celanese
sheers, and the rayon and heavier
cotton fabrics which show a silky
surface come in varying degrees of
this sickness from very high-luster
satin to the damaSkS. the knubby
weaves with the dull thread running
one way, and the low-luster fabrics
New processes of weaving have made
these very sturdy, and though the
colors are demure and the effect
most luxurious, the price is reason

satisfactory.

Homemakers today take this staple
grocery pretty much for granted
But they do know that modern
milling gives them variety OF
different flour products, and they
must decide which -four is best for
yeast breads, for quick breads, for
cake and for pastry.
Through a series of hearings the
Food and Drug Administration OF
the Federal Security Agency is now
working out exact definitions for
different types of flour. These stand
ards are yet to be established. But
the homemaker can find out some
thing about the different kinds OF
flour on the market-why she needs
a different kind for bread than for
cake. how to judge quality. the spe-
cial way to handle different kinds
OF -four.
Wheat flour is used most widely
because it makes large, light loaves
of bread. The wheat contains two
special proteins and when mixed
with liquid they form sticky, elastic
mass known as gluten.
ANY child who has made paste
from flour and water is familiar
with this gluten. 1t is sticky enough
to hold pictures down in a scrap
book and it will stretch out in
long. rubbery strings. If it were
possible to pump gas into every
cell of the flour paste the gluten
would stretch and hold the gas just
as it does when yeast forms carbon
dioxide in making bread.
In fact. good quality gluten is
very elastic: it can easily double
in bulk" without breaking. Flour
that contains this high-quality
gluten is called strong" flour. 1t
is made from the hard wheat types
and is the bakers first choice for
making yeast bread,
In the modern milling process the
flour is separated into several
streams, each slightly different. The

In the Persian room showing,

two-piece effects often carried out in

by some the "sarong drape," was
featured. In coats, the use Of de-

Teach Child
To Sleep
Alone
Assure Him of His
Safety and Then
Leave the Room
By ANGELO PATRI.

Children Waken in the night and
cry. They are cold, they are i'll,
or they are frightened. and they
call for help. That cry must be
answered. 1t is cruel to let a child
cry for help in the night and get
no answer But don't. if you value
your nights rest for time to come,
take the child into your bed.
The instant he is taken into
your bed he relaxes and goes to
sleep unless he is ILL., Night fears,
loneliness, wakefulness are imme-
diately vanished once he reaches
the safety of your bed. That is
fine. He goes to sleep and so do
you.
Next night he cries again and
again you go to comfort him, and
again he is taken into your bed.
The next night he won't wait for
you to come for him. He will
scramble out of his bed and into
yours with the swiftness of fly
ing squirrel, and you are lucky in
deed if he does not refuse to go
to his own bed at all after that.
This habit. once set, is hard to
break. Nobody with any human
ity in him can let lonely child
cry in the night. But nobody with
an understanding of his child's de-
velopment will allow that habit to
be set in the first place.
Go to the crying child and see
what is wrong. If he is cold put
a cover on him. give him hot
water bottle, close the window
bit, make him see that he is quite
all right, and leave him. You may
even have to take chair and stay
a while, but be sure to sit little
distance from the bed. If you stay,
keep still. Don't talk, tell no stories
sing no songs. Just be still. This
will be no fun for him and he will
soon cease to call for you.
Children should sleep in room
by themselves if that is possible.
They ought not to sleep with older
people at any time. If they must
sleep in the same room they need
not sleep in the same bed. There
s always way out. Cribs are
be made. The child must learn
to sleep alone, through the night,
and not depend upon anybody to
entertain him for an interval be-
tween sleeps. Nobody is to go to
bed with him, sing or talk him to
sleep at any time Such practices
are bad for sleeping habits.
Nervous children waken in the
night. Give such children night
light which they can turn on easily.
Tell them to turn on their light
and read the book you left for
them. Let this book be more pic
ture than print, and choose pictures
that are comforting. Religious pic
lures are just the thing.
Teach these children to look at
their pictures, say their prayers,
then go to sleep again without wax
ing other people. They soon learn
to be thoughtful, to attend to them
selves and let the family rest. If
somebody holds hands with them,
sings and reads and talks and
scolds, they like it and continue
their program. Sleeping properly
is largely a habit and once set it
is likely to stay set for many years.
Try to set it to the advantage of
the children and the older men,
bers of the family.

Records Disclose Increase
In Treasury In Decade

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-Some idea
of the tremendous growth of govern
ment in the past 10 years is given in
the comparison of figures cited by
State Treasurer Don Ebright in clos
ing his books for 1889
In 1929, total receipts of all funds
of the treasury amounted to $115,-
550,000 In 1889 total receipts, all
funds amounted to $394,581 ,000
In 1929, the number of checks paid
by the treasurer totaled TAI 900, as
compared with 5,376,871 in 1889. This
latter increase was occasioned by the
advent of payment of pensions to
125,000 people once each month dur
ing the year and unemployment COM
pensation payments calling for q
100000 checks.

Patronage Wastes Many

To confirm his statement, Mr. Ord
