Just line to tell you how gen.

SPRING CLEANING.
A smell that's q, mixture of soapsuds

Floats ever 50 lightly from each COM

Everything's either polished or rubbed.
Or else 1t is snowy from having been
scrubbed.
The upstairs is shining and sun-sweetened
beds
Fit for q princess are dressed in brisht
spreads
Curtains at windows blow proudly before
And brightly waxed floors march to the
door. u
Mother IS tired-but ready for fun.
And sweet as her house--for her house
cleaning's done.

BREAD MAKING.
From Miss II. B. st. c.,
Wdshington.D

Mrs. M. A., Washington, asks
about making homemade bread
fine-grained and firm. I have
often used the following recipe
with gratifying results: Use cup
of water (quite warIn) for each
loaf Of bread you wish to make.
Measure the water into a bowl
(size of bowl depending on the
number of loaves you wish to
make); add " tablespoon short
ening and " teaspoon salt for
each loaf desired: " cup sugar;
stir. and then crumble into the
liquid l cake compressed yeast Cor
i. one package dry granular yeast)
and let stand until the yeast ex-
plodeS to the top Of the water; add
-four gradually. mixing 1t in thor
oughly Il use q mixing spoon until
the dough becomes too stiff, and
then ] mix and knead by hand) !
until the dough doesn't stick to-
your hands; shape into a smooth
ball and place in a creased bowl.
Cover and let it rise in a warm
place $50 or IS degrees) for 11a
hours: punch down. cover and let
1t rise for another hour in the
same temperature Twill usually
double in size); shape into loaves
and place in CREASED bread pans:
let stand until you think it is ready
to go into the oven (again usually
double in bulk): for 40 or IS min
utes-1 usually turn the pans
around from side to side every Is
minutes. Sitting the -four once,
and then again as you start to mix
the bread, may help to improve
the texture. and not having the
dough too stiff (though not sticky
may eliminate the crumbly feature.

Gamma Ray Alarm
For Atomic Plants
Developed by GE
BY the Assoeioted Press

WEST LYNN, Mass. Dec. 10
The General Electric Co. an
nomced today the development
of a watchdog" that sounds an
alarm when atomic radiations
have made an area dangerous for
humans.
GE said the so-called area
health monitor would be installed
in atomic energy plants, water
works, laboratories, hospitals and
other places requiring records of
gamma or X-ray radiation.
Engineers said the monitor
measured and recorded the "ioniz-
ing potential" of gamma rays in
an area. This potential, they ex-
planned, was the important factor
in determining the effect the ra-
diation would have on human
tissue.
However, the new device was
not designed to replace protective
devices carried by workers who
are employed in places where
radioactivity is present. but rather
to monitor large areas.
