EditorialHAPPY BIRTHDAY

For the first time in the history ofthe Staley company we must sendlong-distance birthday wishes to ourBoss. He has gone on that vacationwhich he has long been talkingabout but which most of us thoughthe would never take. In spite ofthe fact that he is having a birthdaythis month, Mr. Staley has takenthis, his first vacation, while he isyoung enough to enjoy a good time.

The relationship b e t w e e n Mr.Staley, our president, and everyoneelse connected with the company isdifferent from that which generallyexists between the president of abig corporation and the people whowork for him. To the employees ofthe company Mr. Staley is not anunapproachable figure sitting in anoffice. He is the most humanlyhuman being imaginable and that iswhy we like to remember that hisbirthday comes in February, andsend him the heartiest of birthdaywishes at this time.

It is perfectly natural that every-one connected with the plant shouldknow Mr. Staley but the fact thatMr. Staley knows so many of theemployees is most unusual One ofthe chief reasons he has put off thisvacation so long is that he knew hewas going to miss his little visitsabout the plant with foremen andmen.

But while we miss his visits weare glad he is taking this vacationand we all are sending him our bestwishes for many more happy birth-days and many more happy vaca-tions.

SOMETHING TO THINKABOUT

What would you do if you lostyour job to-day?

No doubt you would look for an-other job right away and if you werelucky enough to secure it, howwould you approach your new job?\Yould you do it just like you weredoing your old job? No, you wouldhave your mind open. You wouldtry to get more clone on the new job.

You would be like a new broomon a new job and you would startin with an open mind and the inten-tion of making good on this new op-portunity.

I wonder what attitude would re-sult in the minds of all of us if wewould say, "I will now dischargemyself from this job. Tomorrowmorning I am going to start in on anew job. Yes, it is the same old job,but I am going to do it differently."

I wonder in what way we woulddo it differently tomorrow. I be-lieve it is possible for any man toapproach his job as if it were a newjob -every day and get a great dealout of it. The thing we are prone todo is to be too well satisfied with theway we are doing things. Let usnot wait until we are hunting a newjob before we begin to improve ourwork and use our heads.

Are you waiting unti l you mustlook for a new job before you be-come willing to observe simple fac-tory rules and the things you knowyou should do?BETTER THINK TODAY FOR

ARE YOU EDUCATED?A professor in the University of

Chicago got out the following list ofquestions by which we can checkourselves to see if we are educated.From these questions, it is evidentthat real education is more than acertificate of attendance at schools,and more than training of the mind.As The Spinner puts it.

Modern Laundry Methods Not Only Clean, ButProlong Life of Family Linen

(Courtesy of the Laundry Owners' Na-tional Association erf the United Statesand Canada.)

Like many other great industries, inAmerica especially, the Power Laundrywas designed to take the place of womanlabor in the home. Most of these otherindustries have to do with the spinning,weaving and dyeing of textiles, and withthe preparation or preserving of food, asin the baking and canning industries.

Laundering is as old as civilization, andin the earliest records on the subject,taken from Egyptian tombs of about thetime Joseph was sold into Egypt by hisbrothers, it is shown as the work of slaves.

Those first and most ancient Egyptiansknown believed that dirt was an offenseagainst the immortal gods—and modernlaundrymen agree with them. Historyrecords that the happy washerman sangto the crocodiles while he helped theEgyptians live up to their religious be-liefs.

The women of our times who "washtheir own" would agree with the ancientinscriptions. So would the poor soulswho "take in washing" to do for theirmore fortunate neighbors. The inclinedtable and rubbing block pictured in thetomb were somewhat of an improvementover the steam-and-stone method still inuse in a large part of the world.

Until the Nineteenth Century, th isknowledge passed literally from hand tohand, for all fabrics were made by hand.It came from the Chinese, whose royalfamily made silk in secret for three thou-sand years; from the ancient Greeks andRomans who dressed mostly in fine fab-rics of wool; from the Persians, whospread the knowledge of the use of cotton.And every one of these textiles hascreated its own washing problem.

The methods of washing used through

the centuries have progressed even lessthan the methods for making textiles.Rude looms were used since earliest timesas an aid for weaving cloth, hut no prac-ticable machinery was invented to washclothes unti l within the memory of peoplenow living.

In Roman civilization, the fullers didsuch laundering as was done, and they de-rived their title, not from the launderingor cleaning process, but because it wastheir job to "full' the woolen cloth—thatis. to shrink it up so that it wouldn'tshrink any more with wear and washing.Their power machinery consisted of theirhands and feet.

They conditioned the new cloth fromthe loom, as well as the soiled garmentsfor cleansing. We suspect that they hadto be very careful to do all the "fulling"before the cloth was made up. Pity thepoor "fuller" whose distinguished Romanpatron would send his slave with a papy-rus scorching message, penned in classicLatin phrases, stating that his toga hadshrunk until it immodestly showed hisnoble ankles!

Modern laundries may well sigh forthose good old days when the finisher oftextiles was also the cleaner of them, andthere was no chance for substitution, poorweaving, over-stretching, fugitive dyes orover-bleaching.

The page of history records no fellow-countrymen of the great Caesar fussingabout their laundry service—the laundriesknew exactly what fabrics they were get-t ing, and there was no such thing as syn-thetic substitutes. Even silk and cottonwere unknown. Fabrics washed exactlyas they were supposed to wash, and itwas from those times that we get thephrase, "dyed in the wool."

The fullers, next to the bakers, werethe most numerous class of tradesmen inRome. Indicat ions are that our so-called

THE STALEY JOURNAL

modern civilization will put the Twen-tieth Century Laundryman back in hishistoric place.

Up to as recently as 1832, practically theancient processes of fulling were in use inEngland, except that rude hand-powermachines had been partly substituted forthe hand and foot action. Soap was stilltoo expensive for general use, having beenbut recently invented, and lye and am-monia and fuller's earth were used as forthousands of years past.

France claims the first laundries towash clothes with the use of steam—about 1789—established by a member ofNapoleon's cabinet. We respectfully sub-mit his illustrious example to some of thestatesmen of our own glorious republic, atWashington, D. C., as suggesting a pro-fitable use for a large portion of theirtime.

Between 1797 and 1875, patents wereissued on something like 2,000 washingdevices alone, besides numerous ironingmachines, to be operated by every knownkind of power, with the possible exceptionof mules. So many lifetimes—all seem-ingly masculine—devoted to the struggleto get away from the use of human power—and especially woman power—in wash-ing and ironing clothes.

It seems odd that it is sometimes so dif-ficult to persuade the woman power to ap-ply itself on Monday and Tuesday tomore fitting tasks! Maybe the womenjust naturally distrust these masculinecontraptions! Yet they buy millions ofdollars' worth of washing machines anduse them in their homes, at great dupli-cation of expense and labor.

The first authentic power washing ma-chine designed in America for the use ofthe public consisted of a water-tight box,filled with suds and clothes, and whirledaround by power supplied from a second-hand donkey engine from a ship. Itsounds like a man's idea of a labor sav-ing invention, and it was.

That vanguard of civilization, the pi-oneers in the first great Gold Rush toCalifornia, traveled so fast and so far intheir search for the precious metal thatthey left their women-incumbrances be-hind. Being deprived of the privilege ofmarrying their washing equipment, asthey had done from time immemorial,they had to invent something to take itsplace. Possibly some of them felt that

there were compensations. At any rate,some enterprising Yankee found that thesurest way to collect gold dust was towash the shirts and other garments ofthe womanless contingent about them.From this humble beginning grew thegreat Contra Costa Laundry, of Oakland,one of the finest and largest in the entireworld.

Laundries don't get paid in gold dustnowadays. From 17 to 20 pounds ofclothes, washed, rinsed, and ready to dryslightly, roll and iron, for the sum of$1.00 is the usual price the country over—and they don't make gold dollars!

Real laundry machinery both for wash-ing and ironing, was actively developedbecause of the needs of the hotel busi-ness, and the first installation of a powermachine in America, produced under pat-ent, and used for the public service, wasmade in a hotel in Pittsburgh in 1851 bya Yankee by the name of Hamilton Smith.He figured out many of the basic patentsnow in use in the business, for both wash-ing and ironing machines.

We figure, though, that the real causeof all these patents was the fact that thewomen folks were beginning to get fedup on the job, and insisting that the manshould help them out. Now, you knowfrom wide experience just what a manwill do when you put a job of hard workin fron* of him. His dislike for the jobitself is only equalled by his love of tin-kering out some kind of a cadeveator thatwill do it for him. To this combination,without doubt, although history is silenton the point, this enlightened TwentiethCentury owes the great laundry industryin particular.

Second in importance only to the in-vention of soap, in the laundry business,is the invention of a filtering process,through so-called zeolite rock, which en-tirely removes from hard water everytrace of the minerals which make it hard,and leaves it softer and purer than rain.

The modern power laundry, with rain-soft water, pure, neutral soaps, washes thewhite clothes in from four to five suds(which is three or four more than theyget at home), rinses them in five or sixhot and cold soft water rinses (which isalso three or four more than they get athome); sterilizes them with the samechlorine that makes drinking water safeand cured President Coolidge's cold,

THE ST8LEY JOURNAL

rinses out every trace of anything hutthe purest of pure water, so that the lastrinse is actually cleaner than the wateryou drink from the city mains; whirlsthem dry in spinning baskets that holdthem steadily in one place, as with power-ful hands, unti l the flat work is dryenough to iron in the flat-work ironers,the largest of which, with a complete crewof eighteen, can iron as many as six sheetsa minute. Who would iron sheets by thehalf-hour, when enough for an entirehousehold can he ironed by the laundry inone minute's time?

These flat-work ironers are wider thanthe sheets, and therefore, as the sheetsare fed between the great softly paddedrolls and the polished ironing surfaces ofthe ironers, there are run along with themat the side, towels, pillow cases, and otherflat pieces, with separate feeders on oneside of the machine and takers-off at theother. These and other machines arecarefully guarded to prevent injury to theoperators.

The word "mangle" is exceedingly mis-leading. It comes from the Dutch word,"mangelen," which means, "to roll with arolling pin." The ancient processes ofironing were performed on just about thatprinciple, and in the modern machinesthere have been substi tuted metal cylin-ders, heated, in place of wooden ones, andpadded rolls to press the fabric smooth-ly up against the heated surfaces. Laun-dries dislike the term "mangle," and mostof them have discarded it. They say"flat-work ironers," instead, and throughthese machines can be passed, with greatimprovement to their appearance, eitherdamp tissue paper, or some of UncleSam's good paper money, soaped andrinsed. Try ironing a piece of damp tis-sue paper at home, and compare the deli-cacy of technique which the laundrypossesses with the action of the hand iron.

There are special shirt, collar, handker-chief and garment presses in modernlaundries, as well as batteries of handironers who turn out the most exquisitework on fine pieces. There are steam-heated curtain dryers, holding two cur-tains at a time, on opposite sides, notwith blood-thirsty hooks, like the homeequipment has, but with rows of rustlessmetal brushes along the sides that catchthe delicate edges of the curtains andhold them smoothly unti l dry. While

one curtain is being dried on one side,another one is being adjusted on the other,and all, when finished, receive the atten-tion of a hand-ironer for ruffles, points, orother special finishing on the edges. Thereare seven machines used in ironing ashirt, besides touching up by hand, and acollar goes through some twenty-threeprocesses, including collection and deliv-ery, and requires eleven machines forironing alone, including one that polishesoutside edges, and another that polishesthe folded edge, thus silencing forever theslander that laundries put saw edges oncollars. Scientific test has proven that itis the beard of the wearer that sharpenscollars, and that collars last more thantwice as long when not used between laun-derings.

The editor of the New York Worldsaid in a recent editorial, entitled "TheMan with the Apron," that men are tak-ing the place of women very effectively inthe routine of home labor, and openingup the careers that women are coming tolove, through the various industries thathad been established to do the work for-merly done by women. He added that"The steam laundry, manned in part bymales, has easily done as much for theemancipation of women as the SuffrageAmendment."

Mrs. Elizabeth Macdonald, of the De-partment of Consumer Research. BostonUniversity, says:

"Aside from the weight of tradition,there is no fundamental argument forwashing at home. From a social pointof view it means extra expense, andfrom an individual standpoint muchwaste of labor. Laundry is a porta-ble problem. It can be bundled up,transported, and delivered to the cus-tomer as easily as a department-store package. With increased scien-tific knowledge, careful processesovercome the objections of lesseneddurability. Also, increased patronagelowers laundry prices. From thelarger economic point of view, thecommercial laundry will be supportedby the progressive woman who wantsto see home work brought to a higherlevel of harmony with our present in-dustrial development."

Textile ExpertWhen William T. Osteen went to work

in the Atlanta office the first of the yearthe Staley company acquired a textileexpert who is well known through thesouth. Mr. Osteen, now a salesman inour southern territory, will spend most ofhis time in the textile mills, not only sell-ing but consulting with mill owners,superintendents and foremen.

Mr. Osteen has heen brought up in thetextile business. His father managed amill in Georgia and as soon as he was outof school Mr. Osteen went into a mill andlearned the business thoroughly, advans-ing from one position to another until hewas in charge of a large mill. This prac-tical training was supplemented wi t l i atechnical school course which has admir-ably fitted him for his present work.

When W. H. Randolph Jr., manager ofthe Atlanta office, came to the plant inJanuary he was accompanied by Mr. Os-teen who was greatly interested in theprocess of manufacture of corn products,especially starch. While Mr. Osteen willtravel out of the Atlanta office he willcontinue to make his home in Griffin, Ga.,where his wife and daughter live.

Excellent RecordWhen the men in

the Staley garagehad gone for sixmonths w i t h o u tan a c c i d e n t wemade quite a to-do about it, rantheir pictures andgave them a story

in the Journal and the Decaturpapers. Now they are finishing uptheir tenth month with the samerecord and are out to finish up theyear without any trouble.

All fleet owners in Decatur, who aremembers of the National Safety Council,are entered in this contest which is beingsponsored by the Decatur Safety Council.Each month the records are publishedand each month, since the contest start-ed last April, the Staley fleet has been inthe lead with no accidents.

To drive one car ten months withoutan accident of any kind is almost remark-able under present traffic conditions, butto have a whole fleet of trucks in dailyuse, and still come through unharmed isunusual. Credit for this record goes tothe foreman of the garage and the men,alike.

The foreman, Red Thornborough, isthoroughly familiar with the work of hismen, he knows traffic conditions and heknows the problems his men meet. Withthis foundation he is able to advise themen and to see that every thing that ispossible is done to prevent accidents.

Company trucks and cars are kept ingood condition, which is a big help inpreventing accidents. On each truck isstenciled "This car stops at all railwaycrossings" and that is not an idle senti-ment. All cars owned and operated bythe Staley company always stop at allrailway crossings, either on the publichighway or within the plant.

Every man driving a Staley car holdsa chauffeur's license and really knowshow to drive. He knows, and what ismore important, observes the city andstate traffic rules. Their foreman im-presses upon these men that they are notto take risks.

President On VacationFor the first time since he started in

business, more than forty years ago, ourpresident, Mr. Staley Sr., is taking a vaca-tion. He and Mrs. Staley left late inJanuary for Miami, Fla., where they ex-pect to make their home for the next twomonths. They went by train but theirchauffeur and cook drove down in one ofMr. Staley's cars and they plan to takemany interesting trips while they are inthe south.

All of his l i fe Mr. Staley has been talk-ing about a vacation, but for the samelength of time he has felt that he was toobusy to take one. Every year when vaca-tion time came he found some excuse orreason for being unable to leave. Butthis year his family and friends conspiredto remove all excuses and he found him-self on the way south without havingmade any objections to the trip. In facthe had planned it for some time and wasso anxious to get started that after hisreservations were made he tried to havethem set up a day earlier.

Mr. Staley has been in his usual healththis winter so he is looking forward toenjoying thoroughly his vacation in thewarmer climate. He and Mrs. Staley planto take an apartment for their stay there.

BUD, THE HERO!People who noticed Bud Bresnan,

manufacturing messenger, one day inJanuary, wondered why he kept his handsin his pockets or on his hips all day.To a few he told the real reason—he hadloaned out his belt to a lady who neededone—and he had to be careful. The ladywhom he had aided was Kathryn whohad dashed off to work in a hurry, with-out the belt which she felt completed hercostume. Once before Kathryn came towork incomplete, as it were, that time itbeing her necktie which was missing.That time another gallant young manwent tie-less all day that she might beproperly garbed. The boys about theplant are hoping that Kathryn does notcontinue this habit.

Buys New HomeA wedding gift of A. E. Staley Sr., to

his son Rollin and his bride was a homewhich he purchased for them. The houseis an attractive six room bungalow inNorth Pine street. It is del ightful ly lo-cated, just across the street from the De-catur Art Institute with it's broad sweepof tree shaded lawn. The young Staleysmoved into their new home in January.

—•—Louis Rost asks this question. Whyis it that in summer the heat comes upthrough the floor of his car but in winterthe cold air comes in the same way andalmost freezes him.

All during the coldest weather peoplewho were late to work had the best ex-cuse in the world. The car simply wouldnot start!

Everyone is hoping that Frank Collins'dreams do not come true for he dreamedthat he was singing "Just a Song at Twi-light" while Tommy Moran played hisaccompaniment.

VISIT IN GEORGIAW. H. Randolph, Sr., of the New York

office, and Mrs. Randolph, spent themonth of January with their son anddaughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.Randolph, Jr., in Atlanta, Ga. Seniorenjoyed the nice warm weather in thesouth and the visit with Junior and thefamily, but he kept in constant touch withhis office.

At Christmas John Kuhns was pre-sented with a lovely pair of fur linedleather driving gauntlets. Now he sayshe thinks he should have a new car to gowith them, but when he sees how wellthe old Chevy starts these cold morningshe thinks he will be content as things are.

Others may have had it happen to themduring the sub-zero weather in Januarybut Bill Price was the only one who ad-mitted that his car exploded. The ex-plosion wasn't bad but it did put Bill'sfa i th fu l Ford out of commission for ashort time.

Mr. Hertrich came to the Staley plantin December, 1915, and practically all ofthe time he has worked here he has beenin the feed house. He worked for sometime on the conveyors there and for thelast six years has been the assistant fore-man. In these various capacities he haslearned the work of that departmentthoroughly, he is well acquainted wi th andwell liked by the men, and is thoroughlyable to carry on his new work.

Mr. Hertrich is married, his wife havingbeen Helen Tilinski, who formerly workedin the tray room at the plant. They havetwo children. A short time ago theybought a house with a small tract of landjust east of the city limits, and makethat their home.

WINS PROMOTION

Somebody told Maggie Prell the ther-mometer would reach 25 degrees belowby morning so she prepared for it thatnight. Before she left the tray room sheput on a couple of sweaters and her coatand borrowed a few other warm garmentswhich some kind friends loaned her. No-thing like being prepared, Maggie said.

Bill Kurck, sales messenger, has beentaking a short but intensive training onthe manufacture and care of Chinese rugs.He may have known little about colorswhen he started but he knew a lot aboutthem when the course was finished.

W. R. Van Hook says he likes to gohome for lunch because it breaks up theday. He edts and then sits down andreads the bills that came in the morningmail and then he has something new toth ink about in the afternoon.

Between "Lightning" and "Baby" thenoon bridge games in the Journal officeare far from monotonous. Lightningrather slows things down but Baby seesthat she picks up speed occasionally.

Otto Hertrich has recently been promotedto foremanship in the feed house.

For some time heworked in various branches of the salesoffice and a year ago he was put in chargeof the western territory, with head-quarters in Decatur.

His new work will require that hetravel most of the time and for a while,at least. Mrs. Reavis probably will travelwith him.

It isrperated by electricity and willtake care of food on a largescile. A smaller electrical ma-chine performs even more tasks,such as gr inding meat, slicingpotatoes, and whipping and beat-ing mixtures in small quanti t ies .

And then there is the dishwasher. In the good old restau-rants—the greasy spoon kind—seine poor soul had to wash everydish that was used and \vho couldblame him if he slighted the cor-ners?

Ten Years AgoThe items appeared in the Staley Jour-

nal for February, 1920.

The leading story of the month was abiography of G. E. Chamberlain, generalsuperintendent of the plant. It was thefirst of a series of such biographies whichthe Journal used.

W. M. Bishop, who had taken a motortrip to Florida, wrote a long article aboutit. Ten years ago a trip by automobileto Florida was a much more complicatedthing than it is now.

Staley's basketball team, a new organi-zation, was showing most of the otherteams in this part of the state how toplay the game. Archie West seemed tobe the star of most of the games, withBus Woodworth a close second.

Ten years ago Jack Mintun was lead-ing Staley Bowlers just as he is today.The Staley company had just one bowl-ing team then with Windy Lotshaw asthe captain. Other members of the teamwere Jack Mintun, Baldy May, CharleyDressen, M. O. May, Kruse and BusterWoodworth. The team's average was162.

Pictures used showed the frame workfor No. 10 building which was just beingconstructed.

They were telling about the plant thatAlex Clarkson had tried to shave withtooth paste instead of shaving soap.

Baldy May was accused of having tip-ped the barber to make his hair grow.

BROTHER DIESHarold Rammel, brother of our nurse,

Mrs. C. A. May, died in Rochester, Minn.,Jan. 27. His home was in Escanaba,Mich., but he had gone to Rochester fortreatment a week before his death. Mrs.May had met him there and was withhim at the time of his death.

Mr. Broadbear, Sr., is picturedwith groups taken at the Worle HarvestHome festival, an annual event in thecommunity in which he lives in England.He has been a member of the committeeon arrangements for the last thirty years.

Eddie Larrick says there is nothing likea hot water bottle for wanning up theinternal organs of a Pontiac.

Everything points to an early springwedding for John Gosnell, of the storeroom. He has a new car, he has recentlybought a lot, and for some time he liashad a girl.

Roy Hartman has tried everything elsein his car without good results so now heis going to try aviation gas in it.

Soon after announcement was made ofthe appointment of H. J. Kapp as man-ager of our grain department, this car-toon appeared in the Decatur Review.The cartoon, which was the first of whatappears to be a series about well knownDecatur people, was used in connectionwith a story of Mr. Kapp's career.

Mr. Kapp has had an unusual careerbut like most men who have an interest-ing story to tell, he is not much of atalker. He is hard to start but he saidthe reporter told him they were going tohave the story anyway and thought itbest for him to give them the informationfirst hand.

Of InterestMaking Cooking Easy

Plan Food To Save Time, Money and Labor,Both Before and After Meals

Along about this time of the year thelady in charge of the family feeding be-gins to tear her hair and wonder whatin the world she will feed that gang.The ordinary winter fare is beginning tobore some of the family, and those whohave been victims of the very prevalentcolds are especially hard to please.

Most mothers of families must countnot only money but time spent on pre-paring food. No woman with her house-work to do, her children to care for andall of her cooking to do can afford tospend the largest part of that time pre-paring food. Neither does she want toplan meals which require a great manydishes in preparing, for all of those disheshave to be washed later, and the cookin most cases is generally the dishwasher.

With these things in mind it is wellto plan occasionally a meal which canbe cooked in one vessel and served fromone dish. This generally saves time, fuel,dish washing, and incidently, money.

VEGETABLE PLATEUsing the liquid in which ham has been

cooked, cook cabbage, onions, potatoesand carrots together. Cut the cabbage inquarters or smaller sections according tothe size of the head, but leave the on-ions, potatoes and carrots whole. Season,while cooking, with a bit of red pepper.When done, arrange the sections of cab-bage in star fashion on a large servingplate with the other vegetables piled be-tween each section. The broth, whichshould have been cooked down ratherwell, can be served as a gravy.

TURNIPSEven those people who have always

scorned turnips as being more plebianeven than cabbage surely would aboutface after tasting them cooked this way.The woman whose pet recipe this iswarns us that the turnips must not be

more than medium size or they will becoarse and strong.

Get a piece of pork shoulder, not toofat, and sear well. Cook in more waterthan usually is used and about forty min-utes before the meat is done add turnipscut in thick slices, and potatoes, whole.If a bit of red pepper has been cookedwith the meat it will season the wholething well.

»

BEEF WITH VEGETABLESSear a piece of boiling beef and put on

to cook with a little water. About fortyminutes before the meat is done add on-ions sliced, carrots diced, and potatoes.Also add more water, hot, and about athird of a large bottle of catsup. Let itcook down well.

Instead of a boiling piece a cheaper cutof steak can be used. Get a thick pieceand cook in an iron skillet on top of thestove.

PORK PIEBoil until tender a piece of pork shoul-

der. When cool cut into two inchsquares. Line a baking dish with a richbiscuit dough, put in meat, a few quar-tered boiled potatoes, sprinkle generouslywith flour and dot with butter and seas-oning. Then add the liquor in which themeat was cooked and more water if itseems necessary. Instead of a top crustcut rounds from the dough with a bis-cuit butter and place them on top of themeat mixture. Bake in a quick oven.

APRICOTS AND PRUNESPick over and wash a quarter of a

pound each of prunes and apricots. Letsoak over night in cold water. Put on tocook in this water and when the boilingpoint is reached add a half cup of sugar.Let simmer until tender. Serve cold atbreakfast or as a dinner or supper des-sert.

32

toTVomen,CANDIED CRANBERRIES

Wash a pound of cranberries and putin a baking dish. Cover with 2 cups ofsugar and a fourth cup of water, coverclosely and place in a slow oven. Letbake until cranberries are thick and clear.This can be used as a dessert, plain orwith whipped cream.

BAKED APPLESCore, pare and cut six apples in halves

crosswise. Place in a baking dish, sprink-le with sugar and dot with butter. Poura cup and a half of prune juice or thejuice from some canned fruit , over theapples, cover and bake until tender, bast-ing often with the juice. The last fewminutes remove the cover. Serve hot orcold.

SPICED FRUITWash and soak over night a pound of

dried peaches or prunes. In the morningadd cloves, cinnamon and ginger andcook until nearly tender in the water inwhich the fruit was soaked. Then adda half cup of sugar and cook five min-utes. Serve very cold.

ORANGES WITH BAKED APPLESix baking apples, seedless raisins, ;4

cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons powderedsugar, 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapi-oca, 3 oranges.

Select firm apples with red skins; corethem and stuff the cavity at the stemend with raisins. Mix orange juice andpowdered sugar and pour this in remain-ing space. Cover each apple with anorange slice dipped in sugar. Fill the panhalf full of water and then the remainingsugar and orange juice. Add two table-spoons of quick-cooking tapioca to eachcup of water used, putting extra slices oforanges between the apples in the pan.Bake until apples are tender. The orangesadd a delightful flavor.

We learn something new every day.Recently we learned that Lundy, in theChicago office, holds as his most prizedpossession the violin upon which he is afinished performer.

PECAN PIESome time ago our good friend and

Staley salesman, N. F. Smith, sent us arecipe for pecan pie which he says is oneof the best things he ever ate. As N. F.has a wife who is a famous Virginia cook,that is saying a great deal. Anyway, hereis the recipe:

One cup Staley's Crystal White Syrup,l/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 wholeeggs, l/2 stick butter (V& lb.), 2 teaspoonsvanilla, pinch salt, 1 full cap shelledpecans. Mix in order given and bake un-til firm, in a pie pan lined with pastrydough.

RICE

An English friend, W. H. Hutton, re-cently sent us this feeling treatis on rice:

"Rice is a grain that is planted andgrown in the States of Texas, Louisianaand Arkansas to keep the producer brokeand the buyer crazy. It varies in color,weight and style and the man who canguess nearest the milling value is called a'ROUGH RICE MAN' by the public; adam fool by the farmer, and a poor busi-ness man by his creditors.

"The price of Rice is determined in NewOrleans and goes up when you have soldand down when you have bought. Abuyer working for a large mill was sent toNew Orleans to study the Rice Marketand after a few days careful deliberation,wired his firm to thsi effect: 'Some thinkit will go up and some think it will godown. I do too. Whatever you do will bewrong. Act at once.'

"Rice is planted in the spring, mort-gaged in the summer and left in the ware-house all winter.

"You can and you can't; you will andyou won't; be damned if you do and bedamned if you don't."

Clif Carroll and Walt Morenz, thePackard truck team, pay no attention tothe weather. They chase the big truckback and forth across town and load andunload it just as rapidly in zero weatheras any other time.

Bus March brings a special bowlingball and shoes with him each Wednesdaynight, but somehow or other the oldcharm is broken.

I Hear In the Moon—That Bill Ooton says he is not superstitious but he is not going to associate

with any black cat,That he candidly admits if a black cat crosses his path when he is going to

work, he will return home and report sick,That when he has considerable trouble in the Feed House Bill generally

finds a black cat snooping around the building. He says so.

Henry Dubes takes great pride in telling his fr iends how he converted Her-man Herbert to Christianity,

That he claims one night when he was rambling around the plant a thoughtcame into his mind that he should give Herman a Christian Bible,

That Herman was well pleased with the gift and promised Henry he wouldread a chapter every night. He claims he fulfi l led his promise to Henryand wants the world to know that he has forgiven all of his enemies,excepting Edward Borchers.

That Oscar Knoebel says Jack Fletcher is not a cranberry merchant; heis an "Alibi Merchant'\t Jack makes wild statements about machine parts on hand for repairs

and replacements,That Knoebel cannot understand how Jack can say certain machine parts

were in warehouse, when as a matter of fact, they were not orderedwhen the statement was made.

That Hank Potrafka is posing as an authority of everything political, state,local and national,

That after the elections are over, he always joins in the refrain, "I toldyou so".

That before the election Hank always knows who is going to be the suc-cessful candidate, but he will not give utterance to his private judg-ment until after the ball is over. Then he tells the world how it wasdone.

That Joe Pollock is the greatest plant comedian.That his racy stories about the Burlap Shows in Chicago, the big game

hunting trips with Ray Scherer, and the rabbit hunting trip with Rags-• dale, are screamers,

That as Judge of the Kangaroo Courts, Joe has made an enviable record.Everyone brought before the court charged with crimes and misde-meanors has been fined the limit.
