HOW ABOUT A CIGARETTE
LIGHTER suitable for him or for
her? The finish is long wearing
platinum derived rhodium that re-
sists scratches and tarnish but can
be ettractively engraved. To light
you simply push a safety latch
and automatically the flame appears.
This eliminates thumbing, knuck-
ling or other ungainly motions that
are sometimes needed to operate
certain lighters. A flip of your in
dex finger does the extinguishing.
The completely enclosed mechanism
shields working parts from dust and
protects your pocket or handbag
lining from tears. This jewelry
type of lighter is being introduced
by a manufacturer with over seven
ty-five years of precision instru-
ment production so should prove
to be a good make.

By Josethine Lo,pman

It is good to know when you have
had enough of anything. Last Sum-
day night at 10 pm. I was washing
disheS My family is very cooper
ative about this because we have a
"one for all and all for one" spirit
in our home. Also, because they
know that I do just about as much
work outside my home as they
do, but it was my turn.
I had put off the dish washing
until late because did not want to
miss any of the fun and conversa-
ton that was going on. BY the
time had the supper dishes washed
they had started in on the snack
before bed" routine. Being the
master mind behind the mess, I
kept on washing as they brought in
one dish or glass after another. 1
suddenly realized I had had enough
and rinsed and stacked the later
additions.
This made me think of the ad-
vantages of knowing when you have
had enough all through life. This
is such subtle question that one
has to be a psychological bird dog
and smell out situations carefully in
order to be successful in knowing
when one has rightfully had enough.
Many people feel this way with the
first onslaught of life, with the first
stretch of bad luck or with the
first disappointment. On the other
hand, there are those who suffer all

brown.
The famous 1925 F Street Club
in Washington makes some of the
best waffles I know. These are
especially good for use with
creamed chicken, kidney stew, ETC.,
for they are less sweet than usual
Here is the clubs recipe:
Separate eggs and beat the
yolks well with / pint of milk until
light and foamy. Add pint of
-four, / teaspoon of sugar and !
cup of lard. Stir and add y tea
spoon salt and / tablespoon of
baking powder. Last, fold in the
stiff1y beaten egg whites and bake
to a light brown in a hot iron
These waffies are very light and
crunchy when done.
Down Virginia way they like corn
meal waff1es, made by cooking u
cup of water ground corn meal in
11a cups boiling water until it is
soft and adding a teaspoon of salt
and l cup of milk. This cools while
you sift ~ cups -four with u cup
sugar and 3 teaspoons baking
powder; 2 well-beaten eggs are
added to this with 2 teaspoons
melted butter. Last, add the corn
meal mixture, beat well and bake
in hot iron. You may have to
add a little more milk If the batter

FOR CHILD'S SAFETY.
From Mrs D. M. Ber1Du71.

tfTOW MTS. IL. w., oei UgftD
I enjoy the column very much and
have often thought I would like to
write. Now I feel obligated to make
this suggestion after reading OF an
other fatal accident of child fall
ing from an open car door. The
auto industry used to make a lock
that prevented the rear door from
being opened unless the front door
was opened first These are not
available now due to change OF doors
and new cars, they say they are not
needed. Children have a way OF
doing the impossible. I have two
boys ages years and 18 months who
prove this point. So even when we
manage to get new car 1t Will be
fixed as the old one has been. THIS
is a quick, simple way that any one
can do; it costs about 25 cents and
20 minutes time A small piece OF
metal 3 inches long, Y inch wide,
u inch thick. This is called bar
stock" Attach to front door with 3
sheet metal screws so that 1t over
hangs the back door. This can be
put under the handle so it hardly
shows. Now the back door cannot
be opened until the front door is
opened first.
We have a rule that the boys are
not allowed out of their car seats
while driving, but even a fall from
a standing car into moving traffic
can be fatal to child or cause seri-
Gus accidents by means of trying to
avoid the child.
If this description is not clear to
any one please call me on Tower
4906 and I will be glad to answer
questions.

AFL CARPENTERS REFUSE
 PAY RAISE IN WASHINGTON

SEATTLE - ALE carpenters In three counties of Washington - Skagit, Whatcom and san Juan - sent their appreciation with a firm refusal to housing contractors who offered them 3 wage increase of I8 cents an hour last week.
 We feel we were making more money when We were being paid less said Don Lindbloom, busi- hess agent of the Skagit Valley district council AFL carpenters. We could easily have gotten I5 cents an hour more. We have es- calator clauses in our contracts that send wages up automatically when the cost of living goes up.
 It would be easy to go out ana grab some more money without a struggle. But We thought it would be a good thing if labor took the lead in this thing instead of waIt- ing for others"
 The official said that building has slowed down to a standstiH a. round here. Building material costs are so high that home building has almost stopped. If our wages go up that will just increase building costs more. We don't want to spoh Ia good industry We figure we'a Just be working ourselves out Of jobs.
 A wage increase would simply aggregate the too-high cost of lfy- ing" Lindbloom concluded Car. penters on heavy construction = bridges. roads and dams - did ac- cept the 13 cents increase because they, think the industry can staua such a raise without an effect on living costs.
