One of the most popular sellers
at the City Bakery is cinnamon
doughnut, origin of which result
ed from mere chance While max
ing regulation doughnuts, the bak-
ers some months ago decided to
use the cut-out left-overs. So they
tossed the left-overs into the hot
grease, baked the turnovers, toss
ed on a little cinnamon and sugar
and a new delicacy was born.
When the "doughnut" caught on,
the bakers added it to their sched-
ule and now cinnamon doughnuts
are made regularly. Nope, they
didn't use the doughnut holes as
Jean Lockwood intimated.

In case the Easter Rabbit leaves
too many colored eggs about your
home, you can gain little diver
sity in your meals by serving
scalloped eggs with ham and
mushrooms, make deviled eggs or
do it the easy way crack the
shell, remove hard-boiled egg,
toss on little salt and enjoy your
self. If you're a good artist, you
can paint attractive designs on
the eggs but the eggs must be raw
for best results. After a few
months, the egg white and yolk
will dry up and you can use the
painted shell for a door stop-in
your parakeet cage, for instance.

leon for his son. He thought it was
rubber until the chameleon start

of becoming alarmed, the Dyke
mans we're pleased. The chame-
leon now has a special sleeping
box of his own, but he'd (or is it,
she'd?) rather sleep clinging to
ferns in the Dykeman front room.
The little reptile practically
starves all winter but now that a
few flies are about, it disposes of
the insects much quicker and
easier than anyone can use fly
swatter.

Decorative Ideas Can Remoke Your Way of Life
By Gladys Miller

A talented couple had a house
warming for a new home which
had been newly furnished. They
had owned a large home fur
nished. gradually as they needed
things and as their children
came, grew and demanded
things.
Suddenly they recognized they
had grown beyond their home.
They had established a sirnpli-
fed way of life which made their
large, overly filled home a bur-
den. So they inventoried it:
kept some Of their priced or
sentimental possessions and sold
the home and furnishings lock,
stock and barrel. In the mean
time they had bought a COM
pact, contemporary smaller place
conveniently near their old one.
With help, they furnished it
to meet their needs. They
wanted a place easy to main
tain. They had some attic
space for out-of season storage,
but no basement. The house had
radiant-heated floors. so they
needed no rugs and used hard
surface flooring instead. in alter

The combination living room
dining room was reasonably
large so they CAREFUL allocated
space in the room to their pat
tern of living.
Though occasionally they
would have a large group of
friends in for an after-the-game
buffet. usually they entertained
a selected group for dinner and
bridge. They placed the group
ing OF sofas and chairs in a
corner around a large coffee
table. Before and after-dinner
conversation became stimulating
as the entire group was party
to it.
In another corner a larger than
usual game table, comfortable
chairs and good lamps were set
ever ready for a quick game. A
chest nearby kept writing ma

used as a desk. Near the kitchen
was placed a small but expand
able dining table and comfortable
chairs. These chairs could be
used for extra guests if the con-
versation grouping wasn't sutfi-
cient.
Each had a separate bedroom
furnished as he or she wanted
with a comfortable chair and
ottoman.

decorating is growing. The new

WSSC to Shut
Burnt Mills
Filter Plant

Plans for enlargement of the
Patuxent Filtration Plant to bring
its capacity to 65 million gallons a
day-approximately double it's pre-
sent output-were approved by
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commissioners.
Cost of the project, to include
two additional filtration units and
two filtered water reservoirs, is
estimated at $1.9 million. 1t will
be financed by bonds to be sold
under a $3.1 million authorization
granted at the last session of the
General Assembly.
Large Capacity
Each of the new filtration units
will have a capacity of 1858 mil
lion gallons per day. The reser-
voirs will hold 2.84 million gallons
each.
Harry B. Shaw, the commits
sion's chief engineer, said he hoped
work on the project, for which
bids will be requested next month,
can be started promptly. If so,
he estimated the new installations
should be completed and in opera
ton by mid-1955.
At that time, Mr.. Shaw said,
operation of the Robert B. Morse
Filtration Plant at Burnt Mills
could be discontinued. This, he
said, would result in an estimated
saving to the taxpayers of approx
mately $4,000 year. The major
part of this saving would come
from elimination of the Morse
plant operating staff.
