African Firearms

Since the arrival Of Europeans to-
ward the end of the 18th century,
firearms have become known to At
rican Negroes but have never been
very commonly used. The usual
form of frearm is the muzzle-load-
ing gun which is charged with frag-
ments Of scrap iron obtained from
European sources. The marvel is
that a man can fire such device
and yet live. There is a terrific re-
coil, the barrel may break away
from the stock, and on the whole it
seems more dangerous for the war;
rior than for the. person he aims at.

Clothing should never be dried

dry.
An iron always heats more rap
idly than it cools. Place fabrics re-

In making yeast bread, it is most
important to avoid letting dough
get too light or rise too long. Let
it rise until doubled, but not more
than doubled. \
In soldering, remember that the
metals to be joined must be heat

before it will "take" properly.
When it is necessary to carry
a pair of scissors in your purse,
stick the ends into a cork. This

wind seam binding or a bias Of the
same fabric as the shade around the
wires of the frame.
Another decision you must make
before actually covering with fab
ric and cutting the shade is whether
or not you want the edges finished
with a double fold, decorative rib
bon, fringe or braid. This will make
difference in the size of the shade
itself, and you may not have fabric
to waste in trimming off later.
Always assemble everything be-
fore you start to work, as the job
requires concentration, and you can
not stop and look for something when
you are trying to do good job Of
fitting.
Fabric shades may be lined or un-
lined depending upon the kind of ma
terial used. If you stretch the fab
ric to the shade, it must always be
lined. Select the lining fabric care
fully as this is right next to the
light, which will give any fabric a
rosy glow.
AS you stretch the fabric over the
shade pin it carefully to both top
and bottom. Make certain the fab
ric really stretches and use a bias
cut Pin and re-pin the shade sew
eral times until you are certain
that the fabric lays smooth as silk on
the frame. Then overcast the fab
ric to the frame as you would with a
paper shade and trim as desired.
For lampshades with petticoat ruff
fes, use any of the dainty organdies
or various printed fabrics. These
in many cases may be unlined, but
it's a good idea to test the fabric
against the light so you will know
what to expect when you have the
shade made.
The ruff1e which you are using
must be cut three times as large as
the circumference around the shade.
Pleat or gather this and join the
ends.
Heavier fabrics such as drapery
and slipcover material also may be
used for lampshades, but these are
best made like the paper shades.

October Chrysanthemums

The October Towering types of
chrysanthemums are best for late
autumn bloom. Buds are caught by
freezing about one year out of three.
If planted along the south side of
a house, garage, or fence, they
often last until Thanksgiving. When
freezing weather approaches, re-
naming buds can be broken off and
taken indoors to open. If placed in
large pals of water and kept cool,
all buds will open.

sweepstakes approximately 81, ,00O,-
100000 annually, about stwo-thirds
of which went to racketeers, says

tickets sold on fake drawings
more than 40 per cent of those sold
on real lotteries were counterfeits.

Then wrap in waxed paper, twist

Trim Your Fabrics

If you're doing some trimming
about the household, you'd be sur
prfsed how easy it is when you
have the know-how. In making
pompoms for hats or dresses or
other purposes, use embroidery
twist (thread), novelty knitting
thread or yarn. Cut two circles
on cardboard with a hole in the
center Of each. Thread needle
and pass around the holes and
around cardboard until a thick
: layer is formed all the way
around. The thicker the layer,
the fiuffier the pompom. Cut the
thread between the two card
boards, remove them, holding
threads firmly in the center and
tie thread to secure them at
that point. Clip edges of thread.
To make fringe, buy it by the
yard or ravel threads from the
material you ere using. Cover
the top Of the fringe with tiny
braiding or overcast it. Then
comb to make it straight.

Packing q Salad

In packing a vegetable salad,
place two tablespoons of salad
dressing in the bottom Of the con-
tainer. Place the cut up green's and
vegetables on top of the dressing.
Cover tightly, and pack right side
up in the lunch box. When the child
is ready for lunch, he can turn the
container upside down and allow it
to stand a few minutes while the
dressing runs through the salad.
After he turns it right side up,
opens it, and gives one stir, he has
tossed salad ready to eat.

Leftover Potatoes

Use leftover mashed potatoes to
line the sides of a baking dish for
a meat pie. Fill the center with
well-seasoned stew of vegetable and
leftover bits of meat or fish. Cover
the top with mashed potatoes. Bake
in hot oven until the pie is hot
through and Drowned lightly on top.

consists Of preliminary holding for

ing brings about changes that
make the potatoes more resistant
to storage disorders for as long as
six to eight months. Storage tenn

Tears of Heliades

Early legends which accounted for
the origin of amber sound fantastic
to modern ears. The best known,
that given in Greek mythology, is
that amber is the tears of the He
iades. The Heliades were the sis

disastrous attempt at driving the
suns chariot were changed into pop
lar trees which ever since continu-
ally weep tears of amber.

frame white, and while the paint is
still wet, roll the frame across the
newspaper.
Make certain that you turn the
shade evenly, particularly if the
shade is not round. The wet paint
leaves mark on the paper that can
be used as guide for cutting either
paper or material lampshade.
Cut the pattern as soon as the
paint dries, leaving enough at the
edge so that the shade cover can be
joined properly. The paper shade
then may be attached to the frame
and held with paper clips while you
stitch the top and the bottom by
overcasting or by sewing on a braid

can be used to make fabric shades.

Amber Formed Long Ago

Amber has been priced from time

its translucency, and its soft, pleas
