CHICKEN HOUSE FLOOR.

From Mrs. A. c. A., Washington.)
Mrs. H. r. c., Olney. The only way
to keep any chicken house floor dry
is to have proper ventilation. just
front and side openings are not
enough. Place a screened opening
at extreme top of rear wall and
leave it open year around. In an
8 foot by IL foot house an inch by
u inch opening is enough. Peat
moss litter is also best to use as
you change it only once or twice a
wear.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.
POEM WANTED?

From Mrs. J. A. w., Takonla Park
For Mrs. A. r. B. of Silver Spring,
who requested information with re-
spect to birthday party games for
children between the ages of 4
and 6.
My sister staged an annual affair
for her little boys sixth birthday
recently which was a roaring sue
cess. They played the traditional
London Bridge. drop-the-ha -handker-
chief, here-we-go-lopity loop and
button button who has the button.
These games are good providing you
have plenty of room and there aren't
too many children present.
Here are a couple of suggestions.

TINSEL PICTURES.

(FTOm y. r. A., CHeDy CHnSe.)
In reply to B. w. S., Washington
who requested information about
tirsel pictures, I suggest that she
write for leaf1et No. 1874 N. B. Mccall
Needlework Magazine. An article
appeared in the summer 1916 issue
about this type of. painting. The
leaflet contains complete instruc-
tions and patterns and the price is
Is cents. I am sorry that I cannot
give the address of the magazine as
it does not appear on the leaf1et
which I have, and I cannot locate
my COPY OF the magazine. Any store
carrying Mccall needlework patterns
should be able to furnish the ad-
dress, however.
CORN BREAD.
from Mr.. H. E. v, WGShington.)
For Mrs. F. l.. NJ, Alexandria. The
fault may be in the meal instead OF
you. The besct corn bread is made
from meal that is ground on a"burr
mill and Is not bolted. Such is not to
be had in Washington so far as ]
know. Meal, when properly ground
will contain small amount OF corn
flour which is removed in the bolt
ing process. Removal of the -four
also removes practically all of the
starch.
To correct this, try adding about
one-third cup of wheat flour to two
thirds cup OF meal Cnot the ready
prepared kind) and I believe that
you will like it much better.
For your buttermilk corn bread
use one teaspoonful of baking pow
der and one-fourth teaspoonful soda
(slightly heape0 for each cup OF
meal. Salt to suit your taste. Il use
about half teaspoonful for each
cup of meaD. Use enough butter
milk to make the batter thin enough
to pour easily. This will depend on
the thickness of the milk. If the bat
ter is stiff the bread will be dry Sc
add enough cool water to thin it. On
the other hand, If it is too thin
the bread will be all crust by the
time it gets done" To avoid "yel-
low" spots in the bread, I dissolved
the soda in the buttermilk. This will
cause the milk to boil if it has be-
gun to sour so it is a good idea to
hold the milk over the bread pan
while the soda is being dissolved.
And last, but not least, add an
egg if you like, but if you do you
will want to increase the amount OF
baking powder by one-fourth tea
spoonful. Bake in well creased muf-
fin pan If you like. The above in
gradients as we'll as the measure
ments may be varied to suit indi-
vidual tastes.
You will note that I have not fol-
lowed the conventional method OF
writing recipes. This is because I am
man and since you women accuse
we men folks of doing everything
backwards" maybe that accounts
for it. Anyway hope that every
one who tries this Is successful and
that you bake it in a hot oven until
it is fairly well brown and no longer

I have great admiration for the
player who, when things are running
along smoothly, Is far sighted
enough to provide for contingency,
however remote, when preparation
for such an emergency can be made
without additional expense.
South was my partner, the late
George Reith, popularity regarded
as the father of the one-over-
convention. The final contract Of
six spades was eminently sound.
though 7 must say I do not care for
my own bidding. I was then fresh
from the influence of the Sims
school, in which somehow it was
looked upon as pusillanimous to
open the hand with a demand bid.
1t is grievous error not to open the
bidding with two hearts. 1t is
virtually game in hand with good
slam possibilities if partner has
slight values.
Prospects were bright when the
ace of diamonds was opened and
the dummy spread. But 1t is when
the outlook is rosiest that the spirit
of the safety play should prevail.
Reith saw that he could be defeated
only by four spades to the jack in
one hand. If they were with West
nothing could be done about it, but
if East had the holding there was
still chance if the bad break could
be determined early enough.
With that In view, he played the
queen of diamonds under the ace
and won the second diamond with
the king. A spade was led to the
ace. The ace of clubs was caShed
and declarer ruffed low club. The
king of trumps revealed the bad
break and declarer went to work
on his grand coup. Three entries
were needed in dummy (two for the
purpose of ruffing enough cards to
bring the closed hand down to the
same number of trumps as East
held and the third for the purpose
of making the final lead at trick IL.
There were two heart entries and
the other would have to be the dia-
mond. The diamond was led at once
and one of dummy's good clubs
ruffed. Dummy was entered with
the queen of hearts and still an
other club ruffed. This brought de-
clarer down to the Clio of spades
and a low heart. Dummy was en-
tered with the last heart, to which
East had to follow, and with the
final lead coming from dummy,
East's J-8 of spades were trapped
below declarer's tenace.
1t was, except for the spade break,
a lucky distribution, but we must
concede that Mr.. Reith made luck
work for him.

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
This Stumps the Experts.

@. In printing have noticed that
letters of the alphabet Qower-case
letters) may be. placed in three
groups: Cd Those that extend above
the body of the letter, as, |, b, h: (2)
those that extend below the body OF
the letter, as, p, g,y; CD those that
have no extending parts, as, a, e, o,
m, etc. What are the names of
these three types of letters?-L. S.
I referred the question to Mr..
Frederic w. Goudy of Marlborough,
N. Y, who is one Of the worlds
most noted designers Of type faces,
and whose great topographic library
was acquired by the Library Of Con-
gress. Mr.. Goudy, now in his 82d
year (his name rhymes with
"howdy"D, writes to me in part as
follows:
"In my own work, Typologia,
published by the University of Cali
fornia Press, use the word mid
dies for those letters which have
no ascending or descending parts.
probably picked it up through many
visits to the various type foundries
where I was allowed more or less
free association with the workmen.
7 doubt whether the term 'middles'
has ever got into general use outside
a type foundry in the same way that
the words 'ascenders' and descend
ers' have"
Now, let us hear from the oldtim-
ers among you typographers and
type founders. Is there another well
established name for the "middles"
the letters which neither ascend
nor descend?
