Bake Potatoes in
Old Can to Have
Them Just Right
By ID. H. ELSOM,

II is quite a problem to know how
to cook potatoes satisfactorily over a
campfire. The usual method is to
roast them in the hot Goals, but this
is not entirely effective. It often
leaves the center of the potato un-
der-done. while the outer portion is
burned to charcoal, and consequently
wasted.
I recently ran across new way
of baking potatoes in camp which
eliminate both of these difficulties
The only equipment necessary is a
tin can with a top on it. A baking
powder can, lard pail or a coffee
can will answer the purpose admir-
ably.
Wash your potatoes, leaving the
skins on. then put them in the can
and put on the lid. Poke a few
holes through the top of the cover
with a nail or with the corner OF
your hatchet.
Push back the Goals at one edge
of your campfire, and set the can
of potatoes down on the hot ground
Set it close beside the fire, but
just out of reach of the flames
Now if you will turn the can around
at intervals, so that it is heated from
all sides, you will find in about half
an hour that your potatoes are done
through and through.
This method Is really a combina
ton of baking and steaming, and
you will agree that the potatoes are
delicious. You do not put any water
in the can, but there is enough mois-
ture in the potatoes to steam them
thoroughly.

Portable 'Lazy>Daisy' Seat
Has Many Valuable Uses
By SETH HARMON.

You'll find dozens of uses for this
folding "lazy daisy" seat-on the
beach, in a canoe, at the stadium
or in the bleachers, anywhere you
want to lean back when seats with
backs aren't provided. You can
make it in an hour
First, cut IA strips of half-inch
wood, each IA inches long and about
2 inches wide. You'll also need
four cleats IS inches long, inch
thick and 2 inches wide.
Lay out seven of the half-inch
strips on two of the cleats so the
cleats are l inch from the ends of
the strips. Fasten the strips to the
cleats with small screws, driving
them in flush with the surface to
provide smooth sitting room"
Repeat the process with the re-
naming strips and cleats to make
the back rest. Hinge the two sec
tions together at the ends and in
the middle, as illustrated Hinges
about ~ inches wide and long
are best.
Two old leather straps or belts
hold back and seat together at the
proper angle. Screw the straps to
the ends of the cleats as shown.
Then fold the belt-ends over and
fasten them again to the back Of
the cleats for Z secure hold. When
not IN use, the back folds down

File These Assorted
Tips for Reference

For something different in place
cards at your next party, use dark
colored cardboard folded to make a
long. narrow double card. Punch
out the guests name with punch
and fasten strip of silver or gold
paper back of the name, so it shines
through the holes.
With summer practically here,
mosquitoes and other pests are
biting. You can stop the itch with
equal quantities of salt and bicar-
Donate of soda, mixed to a paste
with water.
Don't discard buttons because they
are dull or discolored-give them a
coat of nail polish the shade you
need. and you'll have something
| unusual to perk up last years dress
or sweater. Use the same idea with
tarnished jewelry. You can match
any outfit, with very little outlay
by using nail polish to make them
the right color. ..,
| Save all the candle ends, and
when Christmas time comes, you
can make a large square candle
for the front window You'll need
a milk container, or any waxed
carton, and taper little taller
than your carton. F'asten the taper
in the center of the carton for the
wick. Melt the candle ends, taking
out the pieces of wick, and pour
the melted wax into the carton
Set it aside until cold, remove the
carton, andd you'll have a lovely
variegated candle that will burn

Marjorie Jean Smith. sister of the late
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, famed
United States airman, was sent by
British newspaper to cover the
wedding of King Zog of Albania
She firmly declared that she would
stay only 10 days, but when she
finally left Southeastern Europe, she
had been there for almost four
years.
During that time she endured
hardships and cruelties which only
a vicious brain could originate Her
stores of the torture inflicted on the
Yugoslavian peoples are ones to
make true Americans stronger in
their purpose to win.
School children, from kindergar-
ten through college, were forced to
dig trenches, lined up in front of
them and shot so that the Germans
would not have to bother to bury
them, Miss Mitchell said.
One beautiful girl. not yet II, was
beaten every day for two hours. but
the German soldiers could not make
her tell where her sweetheart was
hidden. This girl was later hanged
because of her loyalty to her sweet
heart and her country, which would
not let her tell of his whereabouts
in the mountain retreats of the
Chetniks.
Miss Mitchell impressed upon that
audience Of high school students
that these stories are the truth
she actually witnessed them.
Dressed in her authentic Chetnik
uniform of a drab color frightened
by red lapels and cuffs, Miss Mitch
ell stood with her hand resting on
the traditional dagger as she told of
| her experiences. After six months
of trying she finally was admitted to
the centuries -old Chetnik organiza-
ton of tough, hard-fghting men.
Even while in grave danger behind
enemy lines, she gathered informa =
ton that would aid her beloved
Yugoslavian fighters.
Miss Mitchell ended her moving
story with a plea that the school
children Of America. and especially
of Central High. pledge themselves
to help care for $4,000 war orphans
who will be left homeless and starv-
ing when this terrible conflict is
ended
Every hand in that auditorium
was raised as a sign that Yugo-
slavian children would find true
friends in the American students.
Throughout that day, and on
through the week. the halls of Cen
tral seemed to re-echo again and
again with the silent pledge: I'VE
will help Yugoslavia!"

Virginia Lee Freeman and Marjorie
Smith, two other members, help en-

ford. After having gotten along so
well together bowling, the girls all
wanted to do other things in

Grafton Of Sub Debs, they were ad-
vised how to start a club. With the
help of Elizabeth Woodward, direc-
tor of the NFSD. they obtained a
constitution and charter for their
club. Since there is another group
with the same name at Tech, they
differ by their bylaws and charter.
Monthly, they receive a Sub Deb

The victims of the cheetah are
largely deer and antelopes. The
cheetah tries to make sure that
these animals will not have much
of a head start It is unable to
catch up to them if they start run
ming from a distance of several
hundred yards
Cheetahs are large beasts, and
may stand more than three feet
high at the shoulders. They have
black spots and are related to
leopards.
Visits Cheetah Cage.
j. G. Wood, a British naturalist,
has given an account of his visit
to a cheetah cage in the London
ZOO Here it is, in shortened form:
Some time ago, while studying
the larger Felidae, I wished to
learn about the structure of a Chez
tabs foot. Some had said that the
claws could be retracted like those
of cat, but others had stated that
they were like the claws of a dog
so I went into the cheetahs'
cage at the Geological Gardens,
rather to the surprise of the ami
mails. To keep them from being
alarmed, I sat down with my back
against the wall, taking no notice
of them.
I'm short time, the cat nature
showed itself as curious as usual
The two cheetahs came closer and
closer. At last, the male, who was
larger and stronger than his mate,
began to sniff at my hand.
Finding that no harm came to
him, the male stepped little
closer, and I began to stroke his
nose lightly. This he rather liked,
and before long I was able to
stroke his head, neck, chin and
back. At this, he seemed as pleased
as an ordinary house cat would
have been. He sat down beside me.
Animal Strikes.
my next move was to lift up
his foot and put it down again.
Then 1 took hold of the lower end
of his leg and started to press on
the base of the claws to make
them move outward from their
sockets, This startled him. With
sharp Kissing sound, he struck for
ward. but I softened the blow by
gripping the upper part OF his leg
and was not harmed.
| 1T now seemed that he decided
no harm was meant. In a short
time, had his paw on my knee,
and was allowed to push out the
claws as I liked proving that they
were retractile like those of other
cats. An odd part of the proceed
ing was the fact that he would not
| let his mate come near me-"
| Mr.. Wood came safely through
his visit in the cheetah cage. but
1 would not advise people in gen.
eral to try the same plan. Wild
animals do not always act in lust
the same way.
When caught young, however,
cheetahs are likely to be fairly safe

hunting by some of the native
princes and other wealthy men.
Another name for the cheetah Is

parts of Southern Asia, and Of

Bob launched his chess career back
in the summer of 1941. and for about
year he played only when time
hung heavily on his hands, which
wasn't often.
When he came back to school last
September he and a few other boys
organized a chess club out of which
team was formed with Bob as
captain and first player. The team
finished second behind Roosevelt
High SCHOOL, in the Interhigh Chess
Federation, which consisted of seven
teams.
Since the club was formed, Wash

which he has won about three
fourths. Quite a few of his losses

Bob's chess-plaving ability is not
his biggest asset, however, for he is
also an exceptionally good student.
He has been a straight "a student
throughout his school career. He
is one of the best physics students
ever to attend the school, he tied for
third place in school spelling con-
test last year, and just few Sum-

Waves it over silvery pond,
Over glistening hill and dale
Away with all the snow and hail!

Peeping from it's winter bed;
A daring robin red breast
Begins to sing his merriest.
Tiny shoots of grass I spy;
Brightly greened, they catch my

Pussywillow creeps in sight,
Her furry paws all cuddled tight.
