No. 34 Wldo Heads
Long heads have been discussed. Wide
heads are their antithesis, but remem
ber that it's the comparison between
the length nnd the width of the head
that counts, not its actual width, meas
ured in inches
Persons whose heads are relatively
wider and shorter than normal aro the
world's first-rank "scrapper." They
are not the people who light to gain
an object, though they may do this in
cidentally, nor who light when thev are
cornered. They nuiy fight for nn ideul,
but that isn't the fundamental explana
tion of their scrappincss. Nor do they
fight because they arc peevish or high
strung. As a matter of fact, they are
rarely either of the.o things.
They fight because they love to fight.
Thej 'd rather tight than cat Maybe
they don't fight with their hands, 'or
knives, or guns. They may only use
their brains, but just the same they
fight.
Moro thnn this, they are inclined to
fight to the HnMi, just because It is
their nature. They arc bitter-enders,
with a tendency to bo ruthlessly effi
cient. Sometimes they fight nature, ns
construction engineers; sometimes as
mothers they light thplr children with
ruthless but efficient discipline.
With low mentality and coupled with
indications of moral shortcomings, wide
heads become a veritable warning of
danger.

Which Does She Love?
Dear Cynthia I am n Blrl of seven

a young man of twenty-one. Now this
man asked me to go out with him almost
every night.
So one night ho took me to a dance,
and there 1 saw one of my old boy
friends who once said ho loved me, but
as I did not like him I never bothered
to go with him.
l did not want to go In the dance
hall, but afterward ho saw mo and
came over and asked mo why I was
going with this other man This ho
asked mo right In front of my other boy
friend, nnd as soon as ho heard this,
ho walked right out, leaving mo to go
homo alone.
Now, Cynthia, I love this man. and
he has already asked pie to marry him.
nnd will you please tell rno how I can
win his affections back' M. L. S.
Cynthia Is rathor mixed as to which
man you love. If It Is the man win
took you to the dance his conduct was
very rude, unless ho grently misunder

should not have let him go, but shoul I
have gone wlih him It was InKultlng
In the extreme for this other man to
ask such an unwarranted question.
Better wrlto a little note to the ono
who took ou to the dance and nsk him
to come see you, that you want to ex

explain things to you. If he asks you
to marry him say yes or no. Djin't

canning tomatoes. Select the
fruit that Is Just fully ripe. Over
ripe or soft pulp tomatoca nre not n
good buy for canning purposes. They
mnv be used In catsup and tomato posto
and purees. When canning tomatoes,
pack n few jars for trying nnd for snl
ad". This will provide a welcome treat
to the fnmlly next .Tnnuary or Febru
ary. How to Start Canning
Look over tho baket of tomatoes,
lifting each one on tho table to sort
them over. Hemnve the soft nnd bruised
ones nnd place In a lingo oqunro of
cheesecloth, then dip In bulling water
for three minutes. Now peel nnd cut
out ttie bruised spots. Remove the cores
nnd green part nf stem end ot tlio to
mnto. Cut in pieces nnd place in pre
serving kettle Now squeeze well with
hnnds to brenk up nnd then place on
stove to cook. I'se a wire potato
mnHhcr to stir with. This tomato pulp
Is ready jus ns soon ns it Is suffi
ciently cooked to rub through n colan
der. Now look over and select the jars;
use the qunrt size, if you havo a fam
ily of five or more; nnd the pint size
for the family of threw to five. Sec
that the lid'i fit nnd iavc the best grade
of rubbers ready.
l'laco the jars in a pan of water nnd
heat to the boiling point to sterilize.
Now place the tomatoes in bowls or
pans and cover with boiling water. Let
stand for five minutes nnd then remove
the rkins. the cores nnd any green part
that Is around the core, lie careful in
handling the tomatoes so as not to
crush. Pack the prepared tomatoes into
jars and use a large spoon handle or
spatula to assist the jnaeking, which
should be done tightly, fin ro over
flowing with the prepnred tomnto pulp.
Adiut the rubber nnd lid and partly
seal, l'lai-c in hot-water bath nnd proc
ess for one hour to the quart size nnd
forty-five minutes for pint sle.
The correct temperature of the water
bath 1 just sufficiently hot to bonr on
your hand from YM to 150 degrees
Fahrenheit, if you nrc using the candy
thermometer to teit the waltr. When
you have all the jars in the bath that it
will hold, bring quickly to the boiling
point nnd boll rapidly ami constantly
for the time required to process.
The hot-water bath is i boiler-shaped
utensil with a close-fitting lid: It has
n rack in tho bottom in order to keep
tho jars from coming In direct con
tact with the bottom of the boiler. For
your personal convenience and in urdr
to prevent accidents, it K bei-t to use
racks that hold jars- they arc ver in
expensive and several varieties from
which you can select will be found in
I he houscfurnixhiug stores.
When the time limit expires, remove
the jars and seal them securel . I'ut
in n cool room, free from draughts and
let cool.
Srcclnl note the water in the wnter
bath must be nt least throe Inches over
tho tops of the jars nil the time.
Fancy Packed Tomatoes for Salads
Select small, firm tomatoes nnd then
place them in n piece of cheesecloth nnd
dip for three minutes !n boiling water.
Itemove nnd plunge into cold water.
Now gently remove the skins and core
Place In quart jnrs. Do not pack to
crush. W hen tho jur is full, fill to
overflowing with boiling water, con
taining two level teaspoons of salt to
cicli quart of water. Adjust the rub
ber and lid nnd partly seal. Process
for forty -live minutes for quarts and
thirty-five minutes for pints; seal se
curely when tho time limit expires and
place in a cool room until cold. Now
din the tops of the jnrs in melted par
affin and store In a cool, dry place.
How to use this pack for salads:
When you wish to uso. just stand the
Jnr with the lid down In a pan of cold
wafer and heat to the boiling point.
Allow the jnrs to stand for five min
utes and then remove und jnr will open
very easily. Now place tho jnr on its
side in n large dish and let the liquid
urniii tin. iiu'ii nirii out tlm tomatoes.
Lift with skimmer or Inrjjo spoon to
the nest of lettuce. Place whore it will
chill quickly. This tomato is ready to
servo with mavonnnlsc or anv salad
dressing .is preferred. You will find it
best if you will pnsto simple and quick
tiircciions on mo jnrs, lest you forget.
To I'nch Fiylng Tomatoes
Solect small, firm tomatoes, wash well
In cold water and then take care in
handling so as not to bruise. Now'
cut a slice from the top und, without
peeling, puck into quart jars. Do not
press or jam and when the jar is full
then proceed ns for tho fuuc piicked
tonuitoc.s for salads.
My Improved Method of .Making Catsup
Tomatoes for catsup must be fully
ripe, but not spoiled. Ho careful about
this, for unless you do your catsup will
not kotp. Wash n basket of ripe to
matoes and then cut in small nieces and
turn into a preserving kettle Cook
until soft. Let cool and then nil)
through a sieve to remove the bklnsaud
needs.
Now mako a largo jelly bag of heavy
unblencheil muslin and turn In this the
prepared tomato pulp and hang up to
drain. Save the water thus drained
from tho pulp. Now when the pulp la
drained fre, from water, vuturn tho
pulp to thu preserving kettle and udd

ADVENTURES
Hobby Bouncer
Iljr DADDY
Jack and Janet am made as short
as dolls and as roly-poly as toy bal
loons when Hobby Houncer, Jack's
rubber ball, bounces on their heads.
Bobby Bounoer runs meat to Toy
villa to keep an engagement with the
Pastry Cook, and Jack and Janet
chase after him,
CIFAITKR IV
Tlio Door In the Wall
BOMBY JIOUNCKIl had the funniest
way of running .lack and Janet
ever had seen. Being n rubber ball.
Bobby Bouncer wns nearly nil head.
Indeed he didn't have any body at nil.
On one side he had a pointed face with
a jolly grin, nnd on the other side was
neatly painted hair. Beneath Bobby
Bouncer's head and growing out where
his neck ought to be were a pair of
spry lrgs. Jn running, Bobby Bouncer
gave a hop with these legs, and came
down on his nose or tho bnck of his
head or one of his cars. Then he
bounced along two or thrco bounds be
foro landing on his spry legs again.
Another hop and then more bounds.
Thnt Is the way Bobby Bouncer ran
somersaulting along and It seemed a
very good way, for he went much
faster than .Inck or Janet.
"Bun as I do. and perhaps you can
catch me," laughed Bobby Bouncer,
looking back at them In tho midst of
a somersault.
Jack and Jnnnt wrrn pvin mnri rnlr.
I poly now than Bobby Bouncer him-
self. ho It seemed they might go
boundlug along ns easll and ns gnyly
as he did. Jack tried it. He jumped
as high as lie could and came down on
his roly-poly stomach. Woof! What
a bump he got! He didn't bound up a
bit like Bobby Bouncer, who wns made
of rubber and filled with hair. Instead
he came down solid like a boy made of
meat, nnd he got n whack thnt knocked
tho breath out of him.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! That's a good joke
on you," laughed Bobby Bouncer, just
as if ho knew nil tho time what would
happen to Jack.
"Oh! Oh!" grunted Jack, climbing
to his feet nnd chasing after Bobby
Bouncer. "I'll fix you for making me
whack my stomach."
"Mo: Ho! Ho You will have to
wait until some other time." laughed
Bobby Bouncer. "Mv engagement with
the Pastry Cook can't wait "
Bobby Bouncer hopped nnd bounded
along until he enmo to a high garden
wall. Jack had often seen thnt wall
when they wore bov and cirl slro. hot
thoy hntl never soon what wnt on the
other side of it. Thoy had heard that
a funny old man lived there alone a
I tunny old mnn who never come out
o.vcept nt night, long nfter Jack and
.lanei wore sound asleep.
Bobby Bouncer hopped with his sprv
logs and butted his head kcr-plop-!
against the garden wall. It looked ns
li no were tr.vlne to bnttor nut hu
brains though,' of course, he didn't
have any brains in his hollow head,
"iiitii was iiueu oniy with hair.
t. "Now , wo "hall catch Bobbv
Bouncer. ' whispered Jack to Janet.
Again Bobby Bounor gave n big hop,
nnd banged his head against the wall,'
kcr-plop!
Bobby Bouncer bounded bnck. and a
third time he plunged into the wall,
kcr-plop!
And nt the third ker-plop n peculiar
thing happened n little door swung
upon In tho solid stone wall. .Inck nnd
.Innet never had soon thnt door before,
but there it was and Bobby Bouncer
was going through it.
"tJood-by!" said Bobby Bouncer,
turning uround when ho wns half wav
through. "Pei haps I will see vou after
I visit the Pastn Cook. and. "perhaps
I will hko To.willc so well I will never
come bnck."
Bobby Bouncer chuckled nnd turned
to hop through the gate. In another
instant lie would be gone. Bm Jack
wasn't going to let him go If he could
help it. He gave a leap, such as ho
had soon football players give, and he
tnekled Bobby Bouncer by one leg.
Bobby Bouncer hopped on the other leg
nnd dragged Jack through the gate
Janet caught .Inck by his jacket and
wns pulled after hiiu just us the gate
swung shut again.
'Jack and Janet find queer things on
tho other ido of the wall, ns will be
told tomorrow, i
Adventures With a Purse
I TI.LI'.N has got a new position, nnd
- It will ho ii"co'ni-j for hor to go
out of tow'i occasionally for over night.
Sho has n black traveling bag, but it is
much too largo and heav.v (0 carry
around on (I.vlnj business trips. She was
tolling mo about it. and said that sue
would like to have nn over-night bag,
but did not fool thnt she wanted to
invest so very much money in it. So
vosterdny I saw a. bag which I nm sure
will' answer her need It quite h
smnll over-night bug. yet largo enough
lo carry the necessary things. Mnde
of dull, black leather, it is lined with a
tnn moire silk and has pockets In tho
fop In which aro toilet nrtleles-, ujth
tortoise-. shelled backs. Tho bug is priced
nt $8.f!0. It's an awfully good looking
little affair unci Quito the thing for her
need.
The other night T wns going to n
"soup and fish" affair, and just a few
minutes before leaving the house I
began looking for clean whlto kid gloves
You can imagine my consternation when
I discovered that every pair I owned
was soiled, nnd I had to chooso tho
freshest-looking pair and pretend they
wore clean. While adventuring I came
niTosw n paste for clonning sofi. white
Md gloves nnd dei ided to buy some To
have something about the house which
would help out in such emergency Is
ronlly necessary. This cream paste' has
no ouensivc odor und comes In a tint
tin can such as a shoo polish can. It
sells for thirty-five cents,
I don't know whether It's because I
like the unusual, or because I ij.P

brilliant handkerchiefs, and just cannot

"hankies" without stopping to look, If

BENNY 'S
NOTE BOOK
By Lee Pape
MUNKETS
1
Our ancestors descended from munkeys
Millions of centuries ago,
But judging by the looks of some people
It was only Inst yeer or so.
All munkeys make the same kind of
faces
And look like one another.
Proving even If nobody elts did.
At least they descend from each other
Tho tame ones eat peenuts in cages.
But deep In their jungle lair
They drink the milk out of coconuts,
Proving the knew It was there.
Munkeys like to travel like a squerrel
throo the trees
Instead of on the ground like a rabbit,
And thoy spend their spare time scratch
ing, wlch may bo part'y fleas
But is proberly partly habit.
O they hang by tbclr tales from
brantches
Swinging necr and far
As if they thawt they was champoen
anrobat.s
On the hurlzontlo bar.
Wedding Lore
If the crust ot tho saved-up wedding
loaf gets moldy the marriage will not
be n happy one.
Have grapes nt the wedding supper,
and keep the bride from want.
i-oeriy is seen in tne dlstnnce If
the first meal In the new home Is dis
turbed I.uy bv some bread from tho wedding
fenst and vou will never know want
The brld and bridegroom should use
the same finger bowl at their wedding
breakfast o the water fulrles will
br'ng no discord Into their lives.
If the br'de would le happv she
must taste everv article of food served
at the wedding breakfast, sharing It
with her husband
If all at the bride's table are married
but one, that one will be married be
fore the ear Is out.
To be married without a feast Is as
bad lurk ns to be married without a
ring.

H
skirts that made their wearers walk
with a hopping, birdlike gait that wm

But gradually fashion "got sense,"

Independent to p'ay "follow the leader"

She made blouses Instead of bodices,
sleeves that were big enough to movu

HAS the result been unbecoming?
Surely we nren't too complacent
when we elnim that we are ns handsomo
n race of women aa any of our ances
tors! And It is certain that we have thrived
upon the diet of good sense In clothes.
The reaction has been getting more
marked every year, until now we have
come right out boldly against discom
fort for the sake of style and said "No,
we will not wear nasty long skirts that
get dirty and get In our way nnd mako
us look like old frumps!"
Longer sklrta we wPI take. yes. In
