I wonder if any of the readers
of the RICH happen to know
the rest of the poem. I have
a nostalgia wish to memorize
the rest Of it. I should be most
grateful if someone who
chances to know this rather
dear little poem would send
in the remaining verses. AS I
recall it, the COW takes a dim
view of humanity and its treat
ment of animals, but the
cheerful ass speaks up for
mankind and thinks human
beings pretty decent on the

Books are essential to the
growth Of intelligence in chill
dren. A house that shelters
children and has no books for
their instruction and entertain
ment is lacking in one Of its
most valuable accessories. The
radio. the TV, the record player
have their places, but they do
not. cannot. take the place OF
goo dbooks. The program comes,
fades away-leaving little Of
consequence to the knowledge
and culture of the family. The
books stay. ready at hand to
answer questions. to inform. to
please provided they have been,
set on the shelves. That is not
always the case. books being
the last thing some people think
of buying.
Books are Of first Importance
In the education of children and
just a ssool1 as q child can
handle a book one should be
placed in his hands. Beginning
with the cloth picture book and
continuing on down to old age
with all sorts of books, educa-
ton continues.
On the children's shelves there
should be the standard books
The Bible, Shakespeare. the Die
tionary, BRITANNICA. These are
the foundation of their libraries
to be useful for a lifetime. Then
Then come the books selected
for their pleasure, the stories
they love. These to create an
appetite for reading. AS a child
grows in reading ability and in
understanding of what he reads

choosing, should be set on his
shelves.
Reading is food for the mind.

SPOTS ON COTTON;
COOKIE RECIPE


mrs. J. E. M, KenSington)
To Mrs. L. L., Chevy Chase:
I have had these spots appear
on cotton and eventually they
became holes: My experience
has been only on articles with
zippers. Experts analyzed it
as electrolysis that takes place
when the metal of the Upper
and the starch or detergent
stand for a time in a damp
condition, and the heat Of the
iron causes a chemical re-
action to take place which eats
the fabric. The spots have
turned brown at first and then
on subsequent ironings have
become holes. I am very care
full now not to leave any such
items more than an hour after
dampening which has helped
to eliminate it. I've had five
summer cottons ruined from
this trouble.

burg: My recipe for Brown

ONION SIRUP;
APTITUDE TESTS?

Mrs. L. D. NJ, Washington
For Mrs. D. c. T., Washing
ton, regarding old-fashioned
onion sirup. Slice onion rather
thin into a small deep bowl.
When the bottom is covered.
sprinkle literally with white
granulated sugar. Repeat un-
til bowl is half full. Place a
saucer on the onion mixture
so that the edges of the saucer
do not touch the sides Of the
bowl. Fill a clean milk bottle
with water and place on the
saucer as weight. In about a
half hour the onion sirup will
begin to ooze into the saucer.
My child loves it!
Several questions and COM
ments have appeared in RCH
regarding aptitude tests.
Frankly. I am bewildered at
the obvious enthusiasm about
these. I took a test last year
at q downtown college and
after the first test put me in
the 92nd percentile and indi-
Gated a strong aptitude in a
"man's field, unfortunately"
the counselor bid me good-by.
Knowing there was more to it
than this. I grasped at the
professions of my relatives and
asked if could be tested spe-
cifically for aptitude in those.
One Of the tests was inter-
rupted in the middle and when
I returned to finish it a few
days later. it was brushed aside
and I was told testing material
for elderly people had been
ordered, I am 43 and would
like to take more college
courses or develop a hobby or
something. Shouldn't these
aptitude tests indicate a di-
rection in which to move?
Since I am beyond college age,
should I have gone somewhere
else for the tests?
I have been watching for
answers to Mrs. j. j. H., WASH
ington, about building ones
own house. for we're thinking
of doing that. too. One item
of Importance, if q septic tank
is to be used, be sure to have
a percolation test made before
you buy the land. There are
several books giving step-by-
step instructions for build
ing q frame house. but I have
been unable to locate one for a
masonry house. Does any one
know of such instructions?
