Parched Corn Recipe, for Mrs.
G. NJ, Arlington: Here is a parched
corn recipe which I picked up
on the West Coast. Have never
tried it myself.
Maiz TostadO: Remove half
pound of large corn kernels from
the cob field corn and dry thor
oughly, or allow the corn to dry
on the cob before removing. Corn
should be naturally dried in the
sun. Place the kernels in a heavy
iron skillet and toast them over a
slow fire until they are golden
brown. Try one by crunching with
the teeth to make sure it is thor
oughly toasted. Then melt a little
butter, just as you do with popcorn;
mix it up and add plenty of salt.
Poppy Seed Pudding Recipe: This
request appeared a month or so
ago, and, since I noticed no reply
and was interested in obtaining it
myself, decided to do some sleuth-
ing via the mails. The following
two recipes were sent to me by the
publicity firm of the American Spice
Trade Association and they stated
that in reprinting them. mention
should be made that they were
taken from the Settlement Cook
Book The first recipe is the one
had in mind, and I hope that they
are somewhat similar to what the
reader originally making the re-
quest had in mind.

SENSITIVE BOY.
from Mrs. D. S., BerWyn, Md
To Mrs E. P, Chevy Chase: Your
sensitive son may gain comfort and
assurance from books about girl-boy
relationships. The public library
has such list. Reading the
printed page is often more convinc-
ing than lecturing him. Reading
just this sort of thing caused the
turning point of my life-and it
vas indeed a turn for the better, :.
From Mrs. G. c., Washington.J
To the lady who. is worried about
her son missing but socially, !
simply cannot refrain from saying
my piece Although I am no longer
a bobby-soxer, I am under 80, and
hope she will excuse this "oldster'
from butting in. I believe she is
unduly about passing
phase.
So many boys who fail to make
the social grade in high school be-
come quite popular in college and
have a wonderful time. Their high
school difficulties seem to spur them
on to make more of a social effort
when they reach college and have
a fresh start"
If your son has not learned TO
dance, I would certainly make every
effort to get him to go to classes.
There is nothing in the world that
will cinch popularity like being a
good dancer. If this Is not true in
high school, It will be in college.
Also. if your son could become in
terested in high school dramatics,
it should do wonders for his per-
Even If he merely throws
the light switch or moves scenery,
he will be with the gang" If he
is at all interested in music. that
should be encouraged for his future
and satisfaction. If he
shows no talent and has no time to
practice, a cheap portable record
player and some records should help
him personally and with the crowd.
Why not teach him to play bridge?
Definite college asset!
If your boy is interested in the
sciences, why not get him a camera
and a developing and printing set?
Girls like to play model" for trick
shots, and he will develop a life
lasting hobby Many high school
boys build crystal radio sets and
some even became hams" And
what about model airplane sets?
All of these hobbies are construc-
tive
Little fellows too small to play
football or basket ball make good
team managers. Our high school
football manager was spastic para
lytic S feet tall. And tennis and
swimming are open to any one. large
or small. Little fellows usually make
the best tennis players.
There are so many ways your boy
could lose" himself so that when
the day comes that he does have a
"steady"-and chat day will come
he will have developed an interest
ing, broad, deeply happy personality.
II you think the situation warrants
it, perhaps a psychiatrist could help,
or young minister of your church
whom the boy admires. But,
mother, don't worry about your boy!
I have seen too many high school
social dubs become college social
