due to a decreased acreage and unfavorable weather. If the beets come on we aiay yet be happy. Why e are forced to depend upon an estimate when we need sugar is not explained, except as it has been asserted that Great Britain outbid the buyers in this country, but all that 1s Immaterial now. What we are sure of at the present moment Is that we have a flue crop estimate.
SOMETHING TO FRY. Flndine out about the high cost of living is like thinking up new things that will win the war. There Is a new eaune every day. Now it's the fault of the women, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Interviewing the butchers on the su&ject of the price of meat, newspaper man discovers that "the women Just want meat to fry, fry, fry. They never want to boil or
i bake."
What does it mean? It takes time to boil and bake.

IT'S POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE. The scenes of disorder which have occurred in Hammond during the Standard Steel Car strike, resulting in appeals to the federal and state governments, may happen in any other city in the Calumet region unless they are properly anticipated. They will not appear if the proper measures are taken in time to prevent them. There was no occasion for them in Hammond if the car company and the city authorities had taken the timely and precautionary steps to avoid them. The lesson may serve as a warning to other cities in the region. It is not beyond the range of probabilities that there will be serious strikes in other cities in the region. Aa a matter of fact, these strikes are frequently predicted. There are plenty of prophets who fear that Gary and East Chicago will both be visited by serious strike germs before the present epidemic runs its course.
Neither city should ignore the warning. It doesn't pay order of things
to simmer. Things sizzle, like the ham that they fry in a jiffy. Women don't stay at home. They go out every day to work or play, and stop on their way home for a
It is easy enough to stop here and enter a black mark on the ledger against the account of women for fumbling the profession of housekeeping.
But the tendencies as far-reaching as the trend of
women out of the home can not be disposed of as easily as all this. Thp women who spend the afternoon shopping or at
the movies to the detriment of their homes do seem to
be missing the point. They live on the surface of things. A merchant would call them shoddy. They deserve the black mark. Eut the woman who has left the home to enter in dustry is at least a working member of society.
Whether we like her industry or not is not a point
to be argued just here.
She is there. If society finds that she doesn't belong
there, she may eventually go back to the home, but that
will take some time. We can't put her back there bx
saying so. Things move on and evolve, they don't turn backword.
All of this seems to he a long way from meat to fry
instead of to boil.
But it may be all a part of the same problem. It mav
be that the high cost of living is a result as well as a cause of putting women in industry instead of in the
home.
Even if it is, it is useless to rail at the women for
lugging home the two pork chops instead of the nice,
juicy boiling piece. It is part of the new order of thing?
And one never gets anywhere by merely railing at the,

seem profitable to us to lock the garage door after the automobile has been stolen.
LOOSEN UP. Secretary of the Navy Daniels wants the government to have a monopoly of the wireless telegraph. People who have seen the results of government monopoly of railroad management, government monopoly of telegraph and telephone operation, and government hoarding food to eay nothing of government squandering of war funds will hope that hereafter tha government will have as little monopoly as possible.
The problem has many aspects. Some day surely we will find lourselves both socially and economically. In the meantime two things are needed patience and a dogged kind of faith enough of each to keep our balance, our optimism and our sanity.
LARGE ESTIMATES; LITTLE SUGAR. Housewives in this section have been troubled of late In aecaring a supply of sugar from their grocers at the time when canning operations are coming to the front. The scarcity is so pronounced that many families find themselves rationed as they were a year ago when they were in the spirit of the thing, when they were rationed on alaoBt every commodity and were obeying orders with military precision. Now there 1s no war and little sugar. Jut as in 1918 we were furnished substitutes for wheat we are now given a substitute for sugar and that is a crop estimate, as the government has predicted a crop of 2,216.000,000 pounds which, the experts say, is 147,000,000 pounds above the average of the preceding sir years. If a crop estimate be used in lieu of sugar, canning should go on at a great rate. We are told that thi3 great increase in the sugar prospect is due to an increase in the acreage of beets, as the cane sugar crop is 100,000 tons below the six-year age and, where it has generally been about a quarter or the total. It will drop this year to a seventh, this being
SOUND JUDGMENT CONFIRMED. Even the Republicans who have been supporting the league of nations idea now agree that there should be at least four important amendments, which should be made "a part of the treaty."' This further confirms the soundness of judgment of those thirty-nine Republicans who insisted from the first that the league covenant should be eliminated from the peace treaty and taken up for separate consideration. The admissions concerning
needed amendments are also an admission that it is too
vitally important a matter to deal with hasU;y or upon any consideration other than the merits of the league covenant itself.

TOU simply can't foot a woman by COMING home in the evening AND rrelend'.ng that you're tired after locking OUT of the corner of one eye and NOTICING that the lawn needs cutling badly.

NEVER has much fun at a rirty WHERE all the women are complaining about HOW their maids act all the time. IF the people who strike Just because they have A LITTLE money saved up could only BE made to realize that sometimes the now GETS two feet deep and that coal dealers

PEOPLE who ar too hot to rerspire
on a hot day
BUT we don't think much of anyone WHO won't sweat a little just to be sociable. BAD men and bad women ARE not nearly so plr-ntiful as the self-righteous WOULD have us think they are. THAT silk mill striki? in the east NEVER bothered us an iota BY hokey we are non-silk through and through AND are strictly cotton FROM collar to shirt tall. WE often think that the first man we MAY meet in heaven may be JUST the man we hate like the dickens down HERE so you see It doesn't pay after all. ONE trouble about feeling sympathetic FOR the under dog who deserves to be one IS that the minute he becomes the upper dog HE forgejs all about ever having been under AND immediately begins to lord It over th others.

EVERYBODY seems to know the meaning of the word profiteer, although it's not in the dictionary.

Stir until dissolved and then bring: to a boil and cook slowly for five minutes, stirring constantly to prevent lumping. Now add one whole eg?, yolk of one egg, one-half cup of sugar, one teaspoon of vanilla. Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla to mix thoroughly before adding to the cornstarch mixture.

Both these puddings are old-time ones and will make a splendid change in the menu.
USE ORANGE PEEL. Orange Peel Do not make the practice of throwing away the skins of oranges. The grated yellow rind makes a good flavoring for cakes, candies, pndding sauces and icings.
and is much cheaper than extracts. Candied Orange Peel Cut the peel of three or four oranges into narrow strips and soak it twentyfour hours in enough cold water to cover, adding two tablespoons of salt to each quart of water used. Pour off the salt water and rinse very thoroughly. Cover with fresh cold water and boil until tender. Make a syrup of two cups of sutrar and one and one-quarter cups of water. When it boils add the orange peel and simmer until it looks clear and the syrur has thickened. Take out a few pieces at a time and roll in granulated sugar and spread on a platter to dry. If any syrup is left, it can be ured a
second time, or for pudmg sauces. Or orange peel may be dried in a slow oven, packed in glass jars and used cut up fine for mince pies, puddings and other derserts. CARE OF KITCHEN RANGE To keep the top cf range like new, melt a piece of paraffin on the tap of each lid while warm, then take a flannel cloth and nib over the entire ton. The same applied to the base of rcnge and warming closet, while warm, will prevent rust. If stove top has become red use sand paper on it before the paralRn is put on. If this is done two or three times a week the top will turr a dark Hue and keep clean and smooth. A top should never be wiped with a wet cloth. Old newspapers are better.
