A PRESERVATIVE
Mothers may* find it convenient to
have the following recipe to pre-
serve children:
Take one large grassy field, one
half dozen children, two or three
small dogs, a pinch of brook and
pebbles. Mix children and (logs well'
together and put them in field, stirr-
ing constantly. Pour brook over peb-
bles; sprinkle field with flowers;
spread over a deep blue sky and bake
in sun. When brown, remove and set
to cool in a bath tub.—Selected.—
WHY OWN YOUR HOME?
A home is an investment. Insur-
ance and taxes are much cheaper
than rent.
Owning his home, one may screen
a porch, set out trees and shrubbery,
and paint the house to suit his
taste. He goes without these conven-
iences and charms in the rented
house.
The home owner may be rid of
mice and cockroaches and assured of
better neighbors.
To own its home gives perma-
nence and dignity to a family. It
arouses them to the civic welfare
and increases their prestige in the
community.
A home of one’s own develops the
home instinct, unite a family, and
provides a shrine to which each may
tie his love and memories.
the bottom of the pan. After the
first rinse, pick up each clump sep-
artely and remove wilted leaves, de-
bris and the roots and throw the
sorted leaves into a pan of clean
water. Several washings in clean
water will make the greens then
ready to cook.
Greens should be cooked in very
little water. The water which ad-
heres to them after washing is us-
ually enough. Do not turn the flame
high under them, but let them steam
gently, for only about ten or fifteen
minutes, until they are tender. To
co'ok them in much water dissolves
the vitamins and flavor and leaves
them tasteless. It is a waste to your
down the sink the precious vitamins
to be found in greens. With careful
cooking, there is no water left to
drain off.
Do not add salt to the greens un-
til they are cooked, then sprinkle
salt over them,* add a chunk of but-
ter and serve with a dash of vine-
gar or catsup. Greens may be served
in milk soup; or cold as a salad.
SUNBURN AND TAN
Of recent years, it has been the
fad for milady to become as tanned
and “black as a tar.” This implied
that she was rich enough to afford
a season at the seashore.
The swing of the pendulum to
femininity has reversed the ideal,
and the fair-skinned charmer is to
be the favorite this year. Girls will
now try to foster a peaches and
cream complexion. There are sever-
al methods of doing this. One is to
golf, play tennis, boat and swim in
the cool of the morning and evening,
while the sun’s rays are not violent,
and to keep in the shade between
times; another is to swath one’s self
in lemon and cucumber lotions at
bed-time; and still a new one, of-
fered by science, is to choose the
right fabrics for gowns.
Experiments prove that sunburn
and tan penetrate closely woven fab-
rics much more readily than those
of loose weave, with interpsaces
which entangle the violet ray.
Vegetable fibers, such as cotton
and linen, are better conductors of
heat and light rays than apimal fi-
bers, such as silk and wool, and con-
sequently they let the light and heat
rays through the material to the
skin, while silk and wool hold these
rays and this gives the skin better
protection. It takes longer for tan
and sunburn to go through silk and
wool than to penetrate cotton and
linen. This may overturn the habit-
ual custom of wearing cotton and
linen in the tropics. There is sense
in the wool summer suit.
PILLOWS
Goose, duck and hen feathers are
usually used in pollows. Goose fea-
thers are the most expensive, but
give longest wear and best satis-
faction. Down is made from goose
feathers from which the quill has
been removed. It makes a very soft
pillow, but is expensive and mats
easily. Split feathers have a part of
the quill removed. Gray feathers are
slightly less expensive than white
ones.
The pillow is usually about 22 by
28 inches. It should not be packed so
full as to make it hard, nor be so
flimsy as to lack comfort. A small
pillow will allow the head to lie in
a more straight line with the body
and is less likely to produce round-
ed shoulders. An old person, with a
tendency to high blood pressure, de-
mands a high pillow. The pillow case
should cover the pillow loosely or it
will make the pillow seem hand and
will wear out quickly with the strain
put upon it.
The feathers of a pillow may be
removed and cleaned by profession-
als, or they may be placed in a large
bag, and be washed and dried out-
doors, on a windy day, then placed
back in the tick which has also been
washed. Frequent brushing and vac-
uum cleaning of the pillows will help
to keep them clean. They should of-
ten be put out in the sunshine and
fresh air. To beat and toss the pil-
lows distributes the feathers and
prevents them from becoming lumpy
and musty. Do not put pillows out
on a damp day, but take care to
keep the feathers dry. A musty od-
or, when once established in a pil-
low, is almost impossible to eradi-
cate. If a guest room is left closed
for weeks and the bed is not dis-
turbed, air the pillows frequently.
It’s not necessary to wait for
special invitation to attend the big-
gest party of the year. Everybody’s
invited to “Paramount on Parade”
at the Arcadia'theatre, staring Mon-
day, May 12 for 3 days. All the stars
and featured players who have won
renown in Paramount pictures will
be there to entertain, each doing the
things everybody likes best to see.
More than thirty-five Paramount
big-names are on the entertainment
roster. Richard Arlen, Jean Arthur,
William Austin, George Bancroft,
Clara Bow, Evelyn Brent, Mary Bri-
an, Clive Brook, Virginia Bruce;
Nancy Carroll, Ruth Chatterton,
Maurice Chevalier, Gary Cooper, Le-
on Errol, Stuart Erwin, Kay Francis,
Skeets Gallagher, Harry Green, Mit-
zi Green, James Hall, Phillip Homes,
Helen Kane, Dennis King, Abe Ly-
man and his hand, Frederic March,
Nino Martini, Mitzi Mayfair, David
NeWell, Jack Oakie, Warner Oland,
Zelma O’Neal .Eugene Pallette, Joan
Peers, William Powell, Charlie (Bud-
dy) Rogers, Lillian Roth, Stanley
Smith and Fay Wray are some of
the luminaries.
Eighteen starring interludes, with
chorus and show girl beauties, and
gorgeous music contribute to the
gayety. Many of the scenes are pre-
sented in Technicolor, and there are
hundreds of spectacular setting ef-
fects. Comedy, drama, singing, danc-
ing, talking, love-making are all
brought .together in one great festi-
val of enjoyment. Everybody’s in-
vited to the party. Tickets at the
Arcadia theatre.
PREPARING GREENS
It is always an unpleasant task
to clean greens, but right methods
can reduce the onerousness. Soak
the greens for half an hour in cold
water. This will soften the dirt and
make it wash out readily and will al-
so freshen and make crisp the
greens. When you remove them from
the water in whch they are washed,
do not pour this off, as that sifts
the sand through them again, but
souse the greens up and down in the
water to remove loose dirt, then lift
them gently from the dirty water,
letting the sand and grit settle to
tive. How does your kitchen rate
these respects?
Port Arthur, May 6.—Twenty-sev-
en contestants representing as many
towns have entered in the “My Home
Town” speaking contest, to be held
in connection with the fcnirth annual
convention of the East Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce at Port Arthur on
May 11, 12 and 13. The designated
representatives of the respective
towns won the privilege of compet-
ing in the section-wide contest in re-
cent local elimination contests, held
under the auspices of the public
schools and the local chambers of
commerce.
The principal honor for which the
young speakers will compete is the
Etheridge cup, offered annually by
Thomas H. Etheridge Jr. of San An-
tonio. The cup becomes the perma-
nent property of the team whose rep-
resentatives win it three times. This
is the third year that it has been
offered. William Forrest Jr., of Mid-
way won it last year, and Miss
Frances Thomas of Terrell the year
before. Both are representing their
respective towns in the contest again
this year.
Additional interest among the
contestants has been created by the
announcement of H. M. Whaling Jr.,
vice-president of Southern Methodist
University, Dallas, that his institu-
tion will offer a scholarship as
prize in the contests Similar an-
nouncements previously had been
made by Dr. A. W. Birdwell presi-
dent Stephen F. Austin State Teach-
ers’ College Nacogdoches; Dr. F. S.
Groner, president College of Mar-
shall, Marshall, and Dr. E. M. Stan-
ton, president, Lon Morris College,
Jacksonville. :
THE FLOWER GARDEN
When buying plants, be sure the
stock is good, free from disease and
true to name.
To water tiny plants, dip
whisk broom in tepid water and
shake it over them.
Over your lilies, sow seeds of
larkspur, phlox or verbena. These
plants have short roots and lilies
thrive in their company. They keep
the ground about the lilies from bak-
ing and protect the bare spots when
the lilies are gone.

KITCHEN STANDARDS
Score cards have been devised
for everything in the factory and in
business. We have become standard-
ized economically. The business
which does not k$ep up to the stan-
dard is riding for a fall. But how
about the home?
The housewife works so much by
herself, does things her own, often
old-fashioned, way, that few of our
kitchens have become standardized.
What is a standard kitchen, any-
how?
The standard witchen should be:
well built; easily kept clean, well
lighted; well ventilated; have mod-
em equipment in good condition; be
arranged to eliminate fatigue, as far
as possible; be pleasapt and attrac-
A DELICIOUS APPETIZER
Mix various kinds of fruit, such
as grapefruit, oranges, banana, pine-
apple and grapes. Serve in sherbet
glasses. On top of each glass put a
tablespoon of lemon ice. This is ap-
propriate served just before the
main meal.
