If there's another man in the city
who has as many hobbies as Mr.
Herbert LIE Velle, of Clean Drinking
Manor, Md, Mr.. LIE Velle would like
to meet him! Before retiring, Mr..
LIE Velle devoted himself to the busi-
ness of bank note engraving. Today,
he's nudging II years OF age, and is
surrounded with enough hobbies to
keep him busy "a hours of every
day.
He writes songs-he's written !, 500,
and declares it's no trouble at all
like turning on faucet" He also
writes poems, short stories and
novels, and booklets of humorous
sayings, which he calls "sillygrams." "
BY way of transferring his erst-
while trade to his hobby, he makes
rings, pins and pendants, engraving
them by hand. He also has some
copper plate engravings of historical
scenes, which bear the mark of the
professional. These he prints on a
press he made himself.
Much of his work is done In his
work shop, where he can really give
vent to his creative ability. He
makes mannequins, ranging from
doll sized ones to quite large ones.
Pointing to heads lying around, still
waiting to be attached to bodies,
Mr.. LIE Velle declared that his work
shop looked "like Blue Boards
house." The mannequins move their
limbs, and also turn around, when
operated by Mr.. LIE Velle. His grand
children have furnished them with
names-as~ we were introduced to
Mabel and Annie Roonie, Maggie
Snookum and Lulu.

Special Recipes for Quail

A casserole of quail is an excellent
dish. Prepare the quail as for roast
ing and brown them all over in
butter. Put them in buttered
casserole, breast side down, and
pour over them cup or so Of white
wine, a few leaves of taragon. a
dash of nutmeg, a few chopped
mushrooms Drowned in butter, pep
per and salt to taste.
Put the casserole in preheated
oven and let it just simmer for about
20 minutes. Then turn the birds
on their backs. step the oven up to
about 450 degrees and let cook for
5 minutes, basting frequently. Re-
move the quail. let the sauce cook
down just a bit and serve it in a
separate boat with the quail or,
better still, serve the quail with the
sauce directly from the casserole
onto rounds of buttered toast.

RANCID LARD.

From M. M. B.. WashingtonJ
To Mrs. M. w. p, Vienna: Re-
garding rancid lard or other fats.
Over a low fire let melt, add slices
of raw potato, amount depending
on amount of fat tan average sized
potato to a pound of fat. Boil until
slices begin to brown. Be careful
that the fat doesn't boil over. Drain
of fat by pouring through a sieve.
Fat will lose rancid taste and smell
and can be used.

For Mrs. M. w. p, Vienna: Boil
lard with white raw sliced potatoes,
strain; when cold and solid cover
with wax paper, pushing paper
down firm on lard. Dark place and
air tight will keep lard. This po-
tato treatment will sweeten quite
badly rancid lard; if potatoes get
too brown before lard freshens skim
out and add more potatoes. I think
you undercooked this batch. When
you make your lard this winter add
a heaping teaspoon soda just when
it starts cooking, cooks faster and
whittier.

in the Philippine group he did not
receive the cake until April. He il

licious.
Also for Mrs. r. M. T., Greenbelt

There have been two letters, in
Letters to the Editor" column late
ly, on the subject of babies smother
ing from sleeping on their stom-
achs.
All of mine were trained to sleep
on their stomachs, all were normal
healthy babies and never once put
their faces straight down. Any one
with a weak baby, or one having
difficulty breathing, or thymus gland
trouble, should certainly not con-
slider lying them on their stomachs.
I, too, have watched papers closely
on this for years, but haven't seen
one mentioned as being smothered
in a sleeper, and they seldom men
toned how baby was when smoth-
cred. I wish they would publish the
statistics. The percentage found
lying on their stomachs, the per-
centage on their backs, the percent

meat is because of restrictive legis-

Ways and means of reducing taxes
at least 20 percent as favored by the

Reduction of Government payrolls
