QUERIES.

fFr0nt MISS A. ", SH1tLGnG.J
This contribution is bound to re-
semble grandmother's patchwork
scrap bag, but so many times just
one idea occurs, and is Selfishly
discarded or forgotten, in my case
because I feel the world can no
doubt struggle along without my
putin" Then another idea ac-
crues, and it saves postage to get
them all out at once. For instance,
I felt guilty not sending in the
split-pea recipe finally saw
some one else did, but still my own
recipe has one thing not mentioned
in aforesaid recipe To me, it is
important :. bay-leaf for flavor.
I use half a package of peas, with
a strip of bacon or ham bone. We
like little chunks of ham as sur
prise floating around. So now that's
off my conscience!
A minor point I might suggest is
that recipe-givers name exactly the
type of shortening" they use, not
Just shortening"
I would like to contribute things
to the people named lin Germany
but they would have to be called
for at my door.
/ feel "our" column should con-
fine itself to these necessary helpful
things as it has already done.
People seem so grateful for baby
help and all necessary items per-
tanning to households in these diff
fcult days when we need co-opera-
ton.
May I ask if the birthstone and
flower" list is the concenSus OF
authority? I've read SO many ver-
sions, revising my beliefs according
to each, and even purchasing jewel
ry supposed to be my birthstone,
or stones as it seems to be. I Won
der if some one knows an official
source of authentic information.
Well-known astrologers, connected
with high-class magazines, differ.

IRONING SHIRTS.
From O, S., Washington.

To the lady who seems to think
that a shirt cannot be ironed in
four minutes. like to say this about
1t, having heard more than one
housewife boast of their smartness
in ironing shirts quickly. If the
family is large and uses more than
one shirt a day in the hot weather,
it is impossible for any housewife to
take time to do a perfect job. The
cuffs and collar and front can be
ironed in four minutes easily, If they
are not sprinkled too heavily. have
watched the clock when iron shirts
and perfect job with good modern
iron takes me about Is minutes, an
old iron about 18 minutes, and that
is the way I like to turn them in.
I feel a man working hard bringing
home the bacon, so to speak, is
entitled to a nicely ironed shirt.
Personally, wouldn't like to offer
anybody a shirt ironed in four
minutes.

Plants Discover Minerals

A possibility that certain types of
plant growth may come to be more
widely used as clues to mineral de-
posts has been suggested by Uni
versity of Wyoming workers. They
point out that selenium indicator
and accumulator plants are now
commonly relied upon as guides to
rocks and soils which carry that
element. They suggest that vegeta-
ton also may be used as a guide to
other minerals. Certain toxic vege-
tatlon is known to carry relatively
high rare-metal values, molybde-
mum being one example.

Industry in Irau

The climate of Iraq is continental,
with varying degrees of heat and
little rain and moisture, although
Iraq is in the temperate zone. Iraq
was noted in ancient time for the
manufacture of cotton, wool, linen
and silk textiles, also for tanning,
carpet and blanket weaving. To-
day there are many factories,
among which are textile, shoe,
brick, cigarette, tanneries, distiller-
les, ammunition and railroad shops.
The manufacture of copper and
bronze dishes and of gold and silver
articles also has become important.

THE EXODUS
BY Konrad Bercovici. Beech
hurst Press; So
The gifted Romanian-American
writer OF many popular books now
tells the dramatic story of the bond
age of the Israelites in Egypt and
their deliverance by Moses.
Mr.. Bercovici has based his story
on the Old Testament narrative, but
he has embroidered it with many
details in keeping with the scriptural
account. Under his skill as story
teller, those who oppressed the Chill
dren of Israel for so long and Moses
and the others who rallied the en-
shaved people become vivid figures
not mere names in a chronicle.
Among the Pharoahs.
Moses, of course, is the central
character. We see him from his
youth, when he tossed away his
royal prerogatives at the throne OF
Pharaoh and cast his lot with those
of his blood, to his old age when
he was the great leader of a people
and the instrument of Jehovah
Moses is more human in Mr.. Ber-
covicis portrait than perhaps he
has seemed to most of us. He is
shown, after he settled down In
Media with his wife and children
reluctant when his brother Aaron
comes for him to undertake the
mission which Moses once pledged
himself to undertake. But Moses is
persuaded and accompanies Aaron
to Egypt to terrify the Egyptians
with miracles.
The incredible wealth, waste and
cruelty of the Pharaohs is brought
out in acid detail. The patience, the
suffering and the courage of the
Israelites is told with equal force.
Mr.. Bercovici writes of the Exodus
in a quasi-Biblical style, with many
repetitious formalisms. While his
writing always is clear, a more mod
ern idiom might have been more
effective and certainly would have
been less monotonous. &C. B. j.
