When we hear that a little bobby
sock girl is picking up strange men
on the street or that boy whom
we have known from his cradle up
has been arrested for stealing an
automobile, we throw up our hands
in horror and cry out that we can
not understand how it happens.
Why, these youngsters are the chill
dren of our best friends! Their
parents are the finest people in the
community and it just seems i'm
possible that their boys and girls
should go so astray!
When we try to account for the
juvenile delinquency, which Is the
most important and tragic problem
of our day, we lay the blame for
it on the war, on changed conditions
of living, on the mass hysteria that
has swept away the standards of
decent conduct and turned liberty
into license. All Of these things,
of course, have had their part in
emancipating children from any
control and permitting them to run
wild.
But the real reason that so many
worthy parents have gangster chill
dren is because there is so little
teamwork In the average home.
Fathers and mothers cannot agree
upon any system Of rearing their
offspring One says "yes," the other
says mo" One coddles and spoils,

Junior is 2 years old, he has found

COTTAGE CHEESE PIE:

SPONGE CAKE PROBLEM?
From Mrs. E. J. W., Wdshington.)
Some one recently requested new
ways to use cottage cheese-the fol-
lowing cheese custard pie is most
delicious:
Cottage Cheese Pie-One pint cot
tage cheese (mash through sieve so
it will be very fine and free from
lumps); / tablespoon flour sifted
over the sieved cheese; u teaspoon
salt; l orange-grated rind-and
juice of a half orange, or lemon; 3
eggs, slightly beaten; add to the
eggs to l cup granulated sugar,
/ lump butter (egg size) melted in
l to IL cups milk. Heat milk and
butter together, then pour into the
egg-sugar mixture, stir together,
then add to the cottage cheese Il
teaspoon, more or less, grated nut
meg. Pour this mixture into an
unbaked pastry shell. Bake at $50
degrees for about 10 minutes. Re-
duce to $50 degrees and bake until
the custard is well set. Test with
silver knife as in other custards
Sprinkle top of custard with bit
Of nutmeg. Requires about 40 min
utes to bake as above. Not exactly
the consistency of real custard.
My sponge cakes (using jelly roll
recipe) turn out very tough. I'd
like nice, tender sponge cake, using
a bit of baking powder rather than
the true sponge cake. Also the
one made similar to sunshine cake

TWO QUERIES?
COFFEE BARS.

From Mrs. E. M. r., Arlington, Va.)
Can some reader suggest soon the
simplest and safest way to restore
the white color to a satin night
gown which has turned creamy in
color?
Also what's the quickest and best
way to wax a clothesline, to prolong
it's life and make it easy to keep
clean?
Here's a recipe came across and
tried-found them very easy to make
and go over big with every one!

inches. Use u cup shortening, |
cup brown sugar, l egg, " cup hot
coffee Cleft over from breakfasD, 4,
IL cups sifted flour, Y teaspoon

Cream shortening. Add sugar
gradually, creaming after each ad-
dition. Add egg and beat thor
oughly. Add hot coffee gradually,

Dorothy Dix Says

TASK papa" than 1t Is to make a
decision and stand by it, as to
whether Mamie and Tommy shall
do this or do that. And that leaves
the wishy-washy parent as nothing
but q stooge in their children's es-
timation and kills their respect for
him or her.
Perhaps most often 1t Is jealousy
especially with mothers. They want
their children to love them best
and they curry favor with them by
going behind papa's back, letting
them do the things he has forbidden
them to do and slipping them the
money that father has refused be-
cause he Is trying to teach them to
handle an allowance.
Much is said about the callous-
ness of fathers who take no part
in the rearing of their children and
who are practically nothing but cash
registers to them. When this hap
pens, 80 times out Of q hundred
it is because the father has found
out that his wife will not cooperate
with him in the management Of the
children and the only way that
peace can be maintained in the
home is for him to keep hands of
Many q man has said to me, with
tears in his eyes, that he knew that
his wife WIS running his children by
spelling them to death, but that
there was nothing he could do about
it that didn't make a bad matter
worse.
Parenthood is a two-handed job
1t takes the combined strength of
a man and woman, working to-
gether, to make a success of it.
When they do this, we have the
youngsters who are a crown of
glory to their fathers and mothers
When they fail to do teamwork, we
have the juvenile delinquents who
are their shame.

Panpering Papa

June II is the day devoted to Dad
And, although we're normally op-
posed to such commercially stimu-
lated days of tribute, we're never
theless all out for any day that
gives us chance to pamper pop.
When it comes to Christmas or oc-
casions, it's always women and
children first" with dad getting
whatever's left overland all the
bills the first of next month. What's
more, fathers are famous for en-
couraging this type of exploitation.
Now remember, I don't want you
to spend cent on me-" is the way
the advice usually runs, and then,
for emphasis, he adds, And mean
It'll"
To be sure, Fathers Day was pro-
NOTED by the boys promoting mems
merchandise, but who cares? For
most of us it's a welcome opportu-
nifty to tell pop that we think he's
a great guy, to pay tribute to that
nice gent who pays the bills. OF
course, men-and fathers in par
ticular-are notoriously hard to buy
for, but we've always thought that
rumor unfounded. We figure it's as
easy as this. If he's pipe smoker,
he'll like tobacco in any size from
few ounces to five pounds. Those
who enjoy nightcap would be de-
lighted with a bottle to further
their enjoyment. For the literary
or should we have merely said liter
ate?-a well-chosen book is an ex-
cellent idea.
However, If he seems to have
everything (short of new carr :,
we're all in favor of giving dad
something he might not buy for
himself, something that will subtly
tell him you think he's a pretty
handsome guy. There's bit Of the
surprise element in a bright red
burIap bag marked For Men Only"
when it opens to reveal handsome
large flacon of strictly male CO.
logne. 1t has a nice clean smell
that he's sure to like no matter how
"old shoe" he is. To go with it
and a whopping gift in its own
rights glorious hunk of soap
to match, scented similarly, and also
wrapped in red.
Anything that makes the daily
razor ritual pleasanter and the en-
suing shave smoother Is appreciated.
There's shave lotion with a brisk
outdoorsy scent that is big hit with
the men who like its wood-capped
bottle with full color reproduction
of sports painting. And if Dad is
proud of his head OF hair df he has
head of hair, you can be sure he
proud of it, then pamper his pride
with matching bottle of hair
dressing to help keep his thatch
fresh and shining.
A jumbo shavestick is something
that the men have been buying for
themselves, so you can be sure you
won't miss on it. It's a giant tube
of shaving soap encased in a simple
cover, which makes 1t unbreakable
and a joy to pack. The stick itself
has gentle base, plus nascent oxy-
gen, reputedly fine for the skin
Anyway, men say the stick works
like charm-even in hard or cold
water, and leaves the skin soft ano
soothed. Dads in uniform would
especially like this good small gift.
If the man in question is on his
feet a lot, you can brighten his life
by giving him a footstick to aSSuage
the woes of hot, weary feet. After
all, for whom has he wearied his feet
but for you? One stick that service
men and women (and they should
know!!D have found refreshing and
soothing to tired feet will do the
same for Dads poor tired soles.

In answer to Mrs S. F. S., of Falls

Have peas washed clean, put them

out, dip in cold water, and they
just push out as fast as your hands

Cream shortening and sugar, add

and last the beaten egg whites.
Bake in modern oven. Can be made

a very good cake.

CANDLES;
SALMON LOAF.

(From Mrs. V. G, Arlington, Va.)
May I please offer suggestion to
Mrs. L. E. B., Washington about
candles that are too small to use
in candle-holders any longer. Take
a tin can and into this put your
candles-Wick and all. Let them
melt slowly and when all the candle
is into thick liquid, pour it into a
pretty shaped mold I did this at
Christmas time, making some
pretty red and white stars. When
the paraffln is slightly formed, cut
off some of the wick that was in
the candle originally and put into
the new mold. This works very
nicely and when the paraffin is
thoroughly cool they will unmold
very easily. I store up my old cam
dies and then do a melting -molding
job all at once
For the person who wanted
salmon loaf recipes-may 1 please
say, try this:
One can salmon, l tablespoon but
ter, cup bread or cracker crumbs,
l egg, beaten; cup cream or u cup
evaporated milk and p cup water,
l tablespoon Worcestershire sauce,
tablespoon chopped onion, l table
spoon parsley Gf you don't have
fresh parsley you can use the dried
fakes.
Mix all the ingredients, and bake
