MUSIC GROUP?

tFTOHt M. Js u, ATttTgtOW.)
Several months ago I wrote to the
RICH hoping to contact some Of you
music lovers who would be interested
in forming small music group for
the study Of piano playing, COM
posers, ETC.. purely social, of course.
Through the letter I have contacted
several very interested parties, one
Of whom had belonged to a similar
club for years and said 1t was a
wonderful idea and that we should
pursue it and get more interested
parties.
Now that the holidays are over
and winter Is here, let's keep that
New Years resolution and take some
time out for our music. II you are
interested, please write to me in care
of RICH.
KRUMKAKE.
(From Mrs. II. p. H., Washington J
For Mrs. J. K. McC., Washington:
These are very easy to make on
either the cast iron or new alumni
mum iron. haven't the recipe here,
but will get 1t for you. Batter is
dropped on buttered iron, which is
then closed. 1t is turned over after
baking briefly on one side. It is a
very thin wafer when removed and
is rolled into cylinder or cone
shape, which 1t retains when 1t
coolS, because it becomes very crisp
I have made them on both wood
and electric ranges and they are
delicious. Phone me at Michigan
1859 If I can help.
CAR DOOR LOCKS.
(From E. S. c., Charlotte Hnll.)
For Mrs. D. H., East Riverdale: /:
The December Better Homes and
Gardens illustrates car-door locks
for 4-door cars on page 8. They
slip over the top edge of rear door
and 1t Is closed first: one edge fits
inside front door. when closed so
rear door cannot be opened unless
front door is open. A set costs 81
and may be ordered by mail from
Shur-Lock Opener Corp, Medical
Arts Building, Waco Texas.
My dealer recently showed me an
attachment very much like the light
arrangement on an ice box. When
the front door opens 1t releases a
volt and rear door can then be
opened. A hole is bored through
door post a little below lock, and q
small gadget like a push button in
stalled. Opening and closing the
front door automatically releases
the volt and pushes it in. I do not
like this as well as the 81 locks
above, as 1t is permanent and des-
troys all advantages of a 4-door
car, since front door must always be
open for rear door to be opened or
closed. The 81 locks slip on and off
and can easily be removed when
not wanted.
From Mrs. A. o. p, Washington. J
Mrs. D. H., Riverdale: There is a
parking garage on New York avenue
between 18th and 14th streets NV,
that sells o small inexpensive gadget
that attaches to the outside of the
car and holds the back door of a
car securely closed until opened
from the outside.
from Mrs. S. H. H., Siluer Spring. J
We have bought ready made kid
latches," but they are hard to find.
One comes as an accessory to the
make of auto that rhymes with
mash; occasionally one can find
them in an auto supply store. But
the best one we ever had was an Or
dinary transom catch with reverse
bevel. This catch, mounted on the
front door, held the back door Sc
cure against opening with its stout
catch. The bevel allows the back
door to be slammed shut while the
front door is closed, the catch mov-
ing back freely. The large circle on
the back Of the catch dntended for
the nub of a pole) is convenient in
pulling the catch out of the way
when you want to open the back
door without opening the front. To
apply, cut piece of inner tube, the
size Of the catch, for q washer; drill
holes in overhanging edges Of door
for the two front screw holes and
use ordinary bolts. and nuts. For
the two back screws, use the type
that cuts its own thread as screwed.
