with | teaspoon Of baking powder
and teaspoon of salt and knead
and make in favorite roll and in
IL hours you can put in oven and

raising, find I don't want to bake
that much, punch the dough down
and place in the freezer in refriger-
ator. They will be good for 2 weeks
or more. Take out and let raise as
in the first place. For the sweet

cinnamon or nutmeg. also roll
out and sprinkle with brown sugar,
cinnamon, sugared cubed apples
and nuts or dried fruits and dabs of

this as much as I do.
I love this poem and think if we
could acquire just even one of these
virtues this world would be a lot
better.
A tone of pride or petulance repressed
A selfish inclination firmly fought,
shadow of annoyance set naught
murmur of disouietude suppressed
A purpose put aside-a banished thought
A word of self-explainiing' unexpressed,
Trifies they seem these petty soul restraints
Yet he who proves them such must needs
constancy and courage grand and bold
They are the trides that have made the
saints
Give me to practice them In humbleness
And nobler power then mine, doth no
man hold.

AUTO ROBE;
HELP ON HOOKED RUG?


(From Mrs. r. M. c., Washington
To F. H., Washington, who would
like ideas for making, an auto robe
from her woolen pieces. I have some
very simple directions for making
throw that could be used for an
auto robe, or an afghan, or bed.
am saving woolen pieces to try an
afghan. The pieces are put togeth-
er by crocheting with 34-inch strips
of old silk or nylon stockings, cut
spirally. The effect of the silk
stocking crochet" is striking and
handsome, the directions say. If
there is much variation in the
shades of the stockings, the direc-
tions say to use the lighter shades
in the preparation of the squares
and the darker shades to join the
squares and for the finishing edge.
7 suppose yarn could also be used
if stockings were not on hand. If
necessary, to keep edges of material
from pulling out, sew around edge
first with machine or fold edge over
once.
If this, sounds good, would be
glad to give pattern number or COM
plete directions.
I have started hooked rug from
woolen pieces, using an automatic
hooker. I sew the strips together
(Which is necessary, is it not, to
avoid loose ends on back of rug?)
but about half of the time the ma
terial breaks when it goes through
the eye OF the needle, where sewed.
Would some one suggest how I can
avoid this, or give me the name of
an automatic hooker they have used
with success? / cannot attend any
classes, so would really appreciate
any suggestions.
From Mrs. L. W. B., Reading, Pa.
I have made an auto robe out of
pieces such as you speak of. Bor-
dered with a single crochet stitch
done in colored cotton, in different
shades, then sewed together, this
makes Q very pretty robe.

(From M. c. j., Bethesda.
Many, many thanks to the con.
tributor who supplied the remedy
for a cake being high in the mid.
die, sloping toward the edges, wher
done. I tried her solution, putting
more batter around the sides of the
cake pan and leaving it low in the
center before placing it in the oven
and Oh, what a beautifully even
layer cake I turned out! Not only
do the layers set evenly upon one
another, but, too, the icing lies and
spreads more smoothly on such q
cake.
1t is just such helpful hints" and
the sharing of them with others that
lends the spirit of the Golden Rule
to the RICH. The RICH is invaluable
to me, as it is to many other read
ers. I have cleaned many time
savers and household hints from the
column during my five years as a
Washington housewife. Surely the
world would be happier and SIM
pier place to live in if all commu-
mites had such column. And let's
remember that every contributor is
helping to make another fellows lob
easier; maybe not yours, but some
ones.
Now, will some kind soul please
repeat for my benefit how one may
remove dark (black) stains from the
legs, ETC., of blond mahogany fur
niture?
For those who. like myself, do not
own a cake rack for cooling their
freshly baked cakes (Which utensil
many experts think is the only right
way to cool a cake), just place q
newspaper outspread on the floor in
front of your oven to catch the
crumbs and turn your freshly baked
cake out on the oven rack (shelf)
on which you have just baked the
cake. The rack being pulled out of
the oven about three-fourths of the

SUGGESTIONS:
POEM OFFERED.

NcscT tnrOW away any part of
your bread loaf when so many in the
world are hungry. Make French or
cinnamon toast. Use it for bread
puddings, I especially like chocolate
bread puddings and use a sauce
over them. Make your sauces from
leftover canned fruit juice and add
raisinS, or f1avorings such as almond
or lemon.
Make bread crumbs from old
bread. You can dry the bread In a
hot oven and grind them in a food
grinder. Use crumbs in fish or
meat loaves or roll meat, fish, or
vegetables in them to fry.
If you have potato chips that have
gotten too old to use, pour hot milk
or hot water over them and use
them in your meat and fish loaves
and I think you will like the flavor.
Use your one egg poacher to melt
chocolate in and save washing a
double boiler.
The shelves in my refrigerator
are hard to keep clean as they
rust, so about every four or six
months paint them with aluminium
paint. I paint one at a time and
find this easier and cleaner than
trying to scrub rust off. Flower
pots are pretty painted with alumni
mum. Put the tops from your cot
tage cheese round boxes under
plants to protect the windows and
furniture from dampness from
plants.
Use leftover fresh or canned juices
or from canned fruits and make
jello with plain gelatine. If the
folks think they don't like 1t plain,
make up two cups from the fruit
juices and add one package Of the

DON'T TOUGH"

(From E. M. c., Arlington.)
To the lady who inquired about
training a child to not touch things
when visiting in other peoples
home or in ones own home, the fol-
lowing may prove helpful: Some
years ago when my babies were tiny
I took course for parents by cor
respondence. And in one of the
books it said the only don't" that
should be taught children was the
"don't touch" and it proceeded to
tell one just how to make very
young baby understand this. So I
decided it would be worth try.
When our youngster was around six
months old Cor old enough to want
to reach for whatever attracted
HIM we were instructed as follows:
Put the baby on your lap near a
table; on the table place some at
tractive object which will be very
likely to get baby's attention. So
place your hands in relation to the
baby's arm that as soon as he starts
to reach you gently pull the arm
back and say, Don't touch!" You
tell him so quickly that he has no
chance to reach for it really, and
Immediately gets the idea. Do this
with various objects for just few
minutes daily Gust one object each
time) and when baby learns to hold
back and wait, give him the object
to hold and play with little. That
way he learns to play with only
those things he has been given, or
has permission to take. This meth
cd really did work for me and when
the baby was little over year
old, I could take him to any ones
house, say, Don't touch anything
Just look at thern," and surprising
as it may sound, It did have the
right effect. People often COM
mented on it, and for the very little
time and trouble it took, it really
was a grand help. tried the same
method with our second child also,
with similar results, although I will
say I was not so concerned about
it at that time as with the first
child.

little the average person makes OF
the services of the public library.
One of your readers recently asked
whether some one could furnish her
with a photography on modern fur
niture, etc. This is one of the prime
functions of public library. Lack
of time to visit the library is no
excuse. because most libraries would
be willing to give such information
over the phone. Perhaps they would
ask little time to look it up, then
either call the reader, or have her
call them back.
AS former librarian myself, I
know how eager libraries are to serve
the public, the taxpayers who sup
port them. OF all Government and
quasi Government agencies, the
libraries are probably the group who
give the most willing and co-opera-
tive service. For routine requests.
the answer can be given quickly, and

nary is accepted as a challenge to

librarians. They are trained in serv-

AS for Mrs. nj. F.'s specific ques-
tions. Whether she buys modern or
period furniture depends entirely on
the taste of herself and her family
Since they plan to build a home in
q few years, why not either plan the
house around the furniture they buy
now. or buy the furniture that will
fit best in the house they can afford?
How we'll furniture will stand up
under five years wear depends on
Its quality, and whether there are
small children or pets who might
soil or damage it. The Mexican
Embassy can supply information
about local outlets for furniture
made in Mexico, and also the duty
on it. If Mrs. M. F. has seen a lot
of Monterrey furniture on the West
Coast, she could write to the Cham
Der of Commerce in one of the large
cities there, or the c. of c. in the
places where she saw it. Possibly
the large furniture store in WASH
tngton, which specializes in modern
furniture, could help her, or she may
find ads for it in the slick women's
magazines and could then write to
the manufacturer for the name of
the nearest store selling it.
