II You Get Hurt Answering
A Coll of Distress.

Ths landlord of an apartment
building lifted trap door in the
basement to repair some pipes
and then forgot to replace it. That
evening, the laundress fell into the
shallow pit. Though not injured
at all, she let out a piercing shrek
OF terror. One of the tenants
rushed down to help her-and he
fell In too! The tenant fractured
his leg, and later sued the landlord
for damages. At the trial, the land
lord argued: 1.-THE basement was
dark at the time. Therefore, when
this man went down there, he
should have waited moment until
his eyes got used to the darkness.

boy went. Injured, he sued the city
for leaving the street in such a

not for roller-skating.

boy filed suit against the state for
damages-under law authorizing
such claims in cases of negligence.
State officials argued that the boy
had only himself to blame for

QUERY?
From Mrs. L. e.. HyattsuilleJ

From Mrs. L. e., HynttsDille.J
I am in receipt Of a letter
from a young son Of q "pen pal"
in Holland, requesting me to send
him a little diesel engine 3 or
4 &C." He is a very clever lad
and although ! am not sure, !
believe he means the sort of small
gasoline engine used In flying
planes. He has great interest
in model planes and in spite of all
the instructions being in English,
he managed to construct some
models I sent him a
year ago. It would take too long
to tell you of all the tragedy he
has already encountered in his IA
years, but If I can possibly get
this engine for him. I want to
send 1t. Would any of you RICH
reachers know where such things
may be found? I believe he might
be interested in writing to model
plane fans in this country. His
English is very good for his age.

be able -

ECONOMY HINTS.

fFrOm Mrs. v. A. B., GreenoeLtJ
/ enjoy the varied discussions
we homernakers wage In your won-
derful column. and for some time
I have inLended to submit a couple
Of economy hints. so-here goes.
One major food item for all
homes is. / am sure you all agree,
the milk bill. We did some calcu-
lating and came up with a saving
Of at least $36 per year or SO per
month by "toting" our milk, ''pay
as you go" from our grocery store
The prevailing price at all chain
and local grocers is 2/39. BY such
a saving we are now inSuring our
three small children and this COM
pensation is well worth any incon-
venience Of bringing the milk daily
or every other day.
Another item which ] use quite
freely in all frying. baking and
white sauce mixes is vegetable
|oleomargarine. Compare the price
of it to vegetable shortening and
1t definitely is an economy plus
added nourishment for any family.
Several economy meals we en-
Joy are: Boneless beef stew,
braised in the pressure cooker,
plus added potatoes, carrots,
onions, green peppers and cabbage
add at least / to " cups water.
season and pressure 10 minutes.
After pressure is down-remove
cover and slightly thicken the
juices. We love it, and its so easy.
Another, and with / pound Of
hamburger is the Porcupine
recipe: u cup rice cleaned with
water. Drain. Add to hamburger
plus l teaspoon salt, u teaspoon
pepper. u green pepper. and /
tablespoon Cor more) chopped
onion. In pressure pan place /
medium -sized can Campbelps to-
Imato soup. Add to this " to /
cup water. heat. and then after
shaping the hamburger mixture
into oblong rolls. 1914 per pound,
place these in the hot tomato soup
and after pressure is up place reg
ulator on and cook on high a
couple of minutes. then turn to
low for twelve minutes. Remove
cooker from stove and let cool of
its own accord. Hope you like
this. we do.
Instead of buying fat Or waste
full pork roasts. when the end is
mainly bone, We enjoy very much
purchasing six or eight center
cuts-runs about $1.20-and bake
these as any meat in a 350-degree
oven for about an hour. Delicious
and economical. This is rather a
lengthy discussion at this point SC
for this time will just hope these
ideas are new 10 some of you

Could some Of you RCH readers
come to my rescue? We have ac-
quired a new" old house. The
house Is not too old in years but
it needs redecorating badly. The
woodwork has been painted over
in blue and green paint. and
what-have-you. I would like to
know If any Of the RCH members
know of any quick paint remover
that we can use. have heard
of one using lime, soda and lye-
a homemade remover that is
quick and effective. But I have
been unable to get the proportions
Of ingredients. We would like tu
remove all Of the paint down to
the bare wood and refinish with
a clear shellac. We will be able
to move into our house in a couple
of weeks, and as there is a lot
OF work to be done, would ap-
preciate any and all suggestions
as quickly as possible.
