OLD SONG WANTED?
(Frons Mr.. F. J. H., st. Benton, III. J
Nearly 80 years ago my mother
sang little sad song at bedtime to
me. Can remember only a few
lines. Would like the rest
Father, these California skies
You said were bright and bland,
But where tonight my pillow lies
Is this golden land?
And you go on for gold"

AZALEAS?
From Mrs. E. S., HyattsDHle.
I would like very much to have
some cuttings from azaleas after
they have bloomed. 1 would like
to try my luck. I live in the North
east section so would gladly come
and get any within reasonable dis
tance.
STICKY SKILLET.
From M. B. B., Wastington)
For the party who asked, oh, so
long ago, how to keep food from
sticking when frying it in an alum
mum skillet: I learned from a very
dear friend of mine to never scour
the outside of yor skillet. The more
crust it forms the better 1t fries.

PRAYER WANTED?
From J. M. r., WaS7tington.)
I wonder If some reader can
identify the following prayer, and
give it in its entirety. AS nearly
as I can remember, 1t is to the
general effect of:
:, From things that fly and go bump in
the night, dear Lord, deliver us.
1t is my understanding that 1t
is in Scottish dialect.

HELPFUL HINTS.
LUCKY CLOVERS?
From Mrs. S. r. c., Ldnham.)f
This is my first contribution to
sCH. Now for a few suggestions
hat I would like to pass along and
incerely hope they will give the aid
ought.
When you bake a pie, prevent the
waste juice soaking through the
lndercrust, by brushing the white
II an egg over the crust.
You can make your own hors
Poeuvres. instead of buying the ex-
,ensive ones on the market. Mash
ogether mayonnaise, hverwurst,
,nion juice and chopped chives and
rou will have horS d'oeuyreS as good
