(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The fewer clothes in hot weather, the more comfortable the child. Up to about three or three and a half years old a romper is often the only garment necessary on either a boy or a girl; but as the little girl grows older she looks better in a costume with a skirt of some sort, however abbreviated. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Ag- riculture has been werking for some Self-Help Idea Runs Through Design Shown in Illustration. time on various problems connected with dressing children of different ages, but especially those of the pre- school years. The self-help idea runs through all the designs chosen. Gar- ments that button in front with few and easy-to-find flat buttons or other forms of fastening are preferred. If there must be buttons in back at the waistline two toward the sides are used rather than a siugle center-back button. Every mother knows how often that center-back button has to be sewed on or the buttonhole mended. Not only can the child reach side-back buttons better, but there is less strain and pull on the shoulders when they are used. Easy making and easy laun- dering are also points kept constantly in mind in planning children’s clothing, Here is an all-in-one outfit for a little girl to wear on hot days. It eliminates theneed for undergarments, yet has the outward appearance of a dress. It is made in two parts, with a detachable plaited skirt for easy laun- dering. The self-help idea is empha- sized, since the dress has an invisible front opening, snapping together under the blue front trimming. The child can also learn very quickly to button the skirt onto the waist before she puts the dress on, if she is once shown how the box plait comes in the middle of the front. The seven buttons on the skirt are arranged so that there are two side-back buttons and none in the center back. The buttonholes are made vertical so the buttons will stay closed. A kimona style romper pattern was chosen, with a seam on the shoulder, and very short sleeves. Except where the collar-like trimming closes at the center front, it is stitched flat, fitting the outline of the neck. The panty part of the romper has an invisible drop seat, and is made on a fold of the goods to give ample room through the crotch, and the very short legs are bound with plain blue material like the little skirt, the neck and arm- hole trimming and the top of the pocket. Tomato Cheese Whoopee Especially Delicious A generation ago it was probably called a “rarebit” of Welsh or other descent, but the modern tendency to apply the latest ecatchword to every- thing has turned it into “whoopee,” which happily gives one a feeling that the dish is sure to be enjoyed. The bureau of home economics says it makes not only a good lunch or sup- per dish, but an appetizing and quick- ly made meal after a long all-day mo- tor trip or day on the water. 2 tbs. butter 1 tsp. salt 1%, cup finely cut 1 pinttomato pulp celery and ‘juice 1h green pepper, % 1b. cheese, chopped fine flaked 1 cup chopped on- 2 eggs beaten ion Few dashes ta- 2 tbs. flour basco Melt the butter in a heavy skillet, add the celery, pepper and the onion, and cook for about five minutes, stir- ring frequently.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The farm garden should be planned to supply a considerable surplus of excellent vegetables and fruits which may be enjoyed later on at little cost if canned when fresh. Of course, the practical homemaker does not waste time canning what may be stored, like mature beets, turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, winter squash and pumpkin, or vegetables that may be dried, such as okra and large lima beans, String beans are among the most popular and home-canned vegetables, Only the steam pressure canner should be used to process them. (Processing means heating the material to kill bacteria.) All vegetables except tomatoes re- quire processing at. higher tempera- tures than boiling. This can only be done under steam pressure. Either glass or tin containers may be used. String beans and all vegetables should be packed boiling hot. That is, they are cooked for a few minutes and then, while still boiling, packed into the jars, sealed, and processed the required length of time, This is sometimes called the “hot pack)” It satisfactory of all the | is recommended by the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture because the beans at the center of the con- tainer are quickly raised to the tem- perature required for processing, and the bacteria that cause spoilage are more likely to be killed. The follow- ing directions for canning string | beang, as well as for canning most | other common vegetables and fruits. are given in Farmers’ Bulletin 1471-F, “Canning Fruits and Vegetables at Home.” ’ Pick the beans over carefully, string, wash thoroughly, and cut into pieces of the size desired for serving, Add enough boiling water to cover, and boil for five minutes in an uncovered vessel. Pack in containers boiling hot, cover with the water in which they were boiled, and add one tea- spoonful of salt to each quart. Proc- ess immediately at ten pounds pres- sure, or 240 degrees Fahrenheit— quart glass jars for 40 minutes. pint glass jars for 35 minutes, and No. 2 and No. 3 tin cans for 30 minutes. Remove from the canner and invert glass jars, placing them out of drafts. Plunge tin cans in cold water to cool quickly. BLACK ROCK (© by D. J. Walsh.) EFORE the storm had passed Sarah Fenton was out of doors looking for Old Cream, She crossed the creek on the slip- pery log, sure-footed, yet not daring to look at the wild red waters that raged underneath, Bushes drenched her as she struggled up the hillside to the pasture. Old Cream ought to have been at the bars an hour ago, mooing to be milked. In fact she should have come down to the bars before the storm broke. As she was always punctual Sarah was alarmed. A slender dark woman with graying hair and tired lines on her sweet face was Sarah Fenton. Two years before, her husband, Tom Fenton, had died of a lingering sickness leaving her with three young children, many debts and only the tiny place, half in the creek valley, half on the Aillside, to look to for support. Very brave and determined was Sarah, skillful in mak- ing one penny do the work of five. She had been a teacher before her marriage to Tom Fenton who was something of an experimentalist in agriculture, and her education had bred in her splendid resourcefulness that had not yet failed any test. Nevertheless, her heart sank now as she thought of what might have hap- pened to Old Cream, who contributed mightily to the children’s wellbeing. The black rock! Her eyes sweeping the confines of the pasture came to rest upon the great boulder which towered in grim isolation upon the hillside. Beside it stood a tree with- ered and dead. Lightning had struck it last summer. Old Cream was no- where to be seen. With horror grip- ping her heart Sarah went to look on the other side of the rock. There lay the cow—dead—LXkilled by lightning. It was indescribable misfortune. Tonight there would be no warm milk for little ailing Ellen, no cream to- morrow for the morning coffee and Richard and Julia's toast. Sarah's lips quivered and she sank down upon the rock, covering her face for a mo- ment with her hands, regardless of the moisture that was yet falling. Old Cream was gone. She had per- haps been wandering past the bleak rock when the first bolt sped from the Over” menacing cloud overhead. It smote her where she was. Sitting there Sarah remembered all the times lightning had struck in that place. A calf had been killed besides Old Cream, the tree blasted, and once Tom had been stunned be- fore he could get away from the vicinity, Only that spring she had stood at the window with Ellen in her arms and had seen the flaming lances of the lightning strike again and again at the lightning boulder. The old saying that lightning strikes often in the same place, especially where there is mineral caused her to meditate. There must be something there besides innocent trees and beasts to attract the lightning. She would put her mind to work upon the mys- tery; it would keep her head steady in the face of this new calamity. She went down to the house and got a spade and buried Old Cream and shed some bitter tears in the process. Then she went on quite as usual. There was no money with which te buy a new cow and every day she sent Julia to a neighbor's for a pail of precious milk. After much thought Sarah wrote a letter to John Mills, an old school- mate of hers who had made some- thing of a success in mineralogy. She told him all about the black rock and the lightning’s love for it. A week passed and then Sarah was surprised to see a car floundering up the rough creek road. John Mills had come himself in answer to her letter. He was a fine looking man with stu- dent stoop, spectacles, a gentle ab- stractedness of expression. They vis- ited the black rock, sat upon it, dis- cussed it and John Mills chipped speci- mens from the ridge. Sarah gave him the best meal she could set forth, thanked him for the trouble he had taken and let him go, with only a slight lingering regret. He had told her nothing. Summer was passing and Sarah realized that her worst trial awaited her with the coming of winter. She decided to sell the place if she could find anybody to buy it. It adjoined the fine farm of Samuel Herrick and she offered it to him for a pitifully small sum. ‘fy good woman,” the man said with a laugh that was little short of a sneer, “I wouldn't give you 15 cents for the whole premises. The buildings are falling down and your pasture isn't a safe place for cattle. No, I don’t want it.” ®arah put a pitiful little advertise- ment in the village paper, but it at- tracted no attention, Everybody knew that poor Tom Fenton had been woe- fully chemted when he bought the place and consequently prejudice against it was great. A winter 02 the place without Old Cream! Sarth drew a deep breath, chenched her smell, hard hands and resolved that, for her children's sake, she would not succumb to what was so obviously the inevitable. Then little Ellen, always frail, fell ill and Sarah's heart was wrung as the doctor, coming again and again, failed to put color into the child's cheeks or light into her blue eyes. “I'm afraid it's the water, Mrs. Fen- ton,” he said “and certain unsanitary arrangements about the house. If you could take her away-—" Take her away! Where? Tom’s relatives had never made themselves known and a few cousins, all she had, were in the far West. She sat one hot afternoon holding Ellen in her lap trying to soothe her with an old song while her heart was close to breaking when there came a knock at the door. She arose and with the child in her arms admitted John Mills and another man, a Mr. Graham, They had come to look the place over. Sarah could not leave Ellen, so they went across the creek and up the hill alone. When they came back John was smiling. “I wouldn't tell you until 1 was sure, Sarah,” John said, “But I've investigated carefully and [ find a particularly fine quality of iron ore here on your place. Mr. Graham knows all about such things and he wants to make you an offer for your farm just as it is.” For the next hour Sarah’s ears buzzed with strange terms such as contracts and royalties. She had been offered a sum that astonished her and it was not to end there because she was to have a yearly income as long as she lived. Then John Mills brought a lawyer who explained things still further and drew papers which Sarah and Mr. Graham sigred. Next morning she went to the vil- lage and hired a house and before night was moved into it. Constant at- tention from the doctor, better condi- tions and dainty food soon restored Ellen to health. All this tended for happiness, but a new element had en- tered Sarah's life. She was aston- ished at herself for caring for John Mills when her husband's death was still such a poignant memory. It was spring before she saw John again. She was working in her little garden wher he appeared suddenly be- fore her. “I've tried and tried to keep away, Sarah,” he said. “And I've tried to forget you, John,” she replied. They smiled at each other awkward- ly. Then they sat down on a near-by bench and talked long and earnestly. Thus love and a protection such as she had never known was added to Sarah’s good fortune. The wand of the lightning like that of Moses had struck good instead of evil from the ugly black rock. Gems Once Believed to Be Endowed With Life Theophrastus went so far as to divide stones into categories of male and female, but absurd as this idea may seem, it must be remembered that it was quite in accord with the scien- tific theories of the times, Indeed sim- ilar beliefs are held to the present day by the inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Spain and Arabia, who cred- it gems with secret virtues, and there are among enlightened people many who believe in the “bad luck” brought to the wearer of an opal. In fact, our modern idea of “birthstones” can be traced to the Chaldean astronomers, who assumed a relation between the stars and different gems, Later a spe- cific stone was consecrated to each sign of the zodiac, from which can be seen its bearing on the modern cal- endar, Such ideas reigned supreme in the Middle ages, being supported by the alchemists, who exerted so great an influence at that period, and were still going strong at the end of the Fif- teenth century. Jerome Cardan, a writer of the Sixteenth century, de- elared that precious stones were ‘en- gendered in came manner as an infant from maternal blood,” by juices distilled from ierals in the crev- ices of rocks. In his time it was ad- mitted without question that gems were living beings, and he remarks, “And not only precious stones live, but they suffer illness, old age and death.” The different ¥ rious stones tues ascribed to va that time are illum- irating.

Pathos in Passing of Old-Time Family Album The London Sunday Times notes the wane of ancestor worship (western type) : “Ancestor worship is, apparently, on the wane. A French writer has point- ed out that the custom of keeping a family album is no longer popular, and draws from the fact a moral concern- ing the decay in pride of race. There is, indeed, a certain pathos in the de- cline of the album of family portraits. “There is pathos in it, and there is danger, too. How many a man, in years gone by, tottering on the verge of dipsomania, has been saved by the recollection of ‘his sisters and his cousins, whom he reckoned up in dozens? How many a man was res- cued from the primrose path by the contemplation of Aunt Susan, awful in her shoulder-of-mutton sleeves?

This last was forcefully brought to my mind recent- ly when I visited a national park, where the waitresses were college girls making money through the vacation period. Maybe they were great col- lege girls but as waitresses— “I said to one of them one day, ‘Is this pie apple or peach? “Tm sure I don't know, she snapped. ‘Can’t you tell by the taste? *“‘No, ma'am, I can’t, I politely ad- mitted. “Well, then, what difference does it make? was the tart rejoinder,”’— Los Angeles Times, Too Humble “We farmers are humble, but we're not as humble as some of these poli- ticians seem to think.” George L Quackenbush, the million- aire farmer of Virginia, was talking in Richmond about the farmer's hard luck and his demand for government aid. “Yes, we're humble,” he went on, “but we're not like little Willie, “ “Where are you going, Joe? little Willie asked his friend. “‘Down to the drug store,’ says Jee, ‘to get an ice cream soda.’, “Little Willie looked up at Joe wist- fully, and said: “Say, Joe, can I come and watch ye?” Shorn John has been attending Bible school.
