Electricity may be supplied to farm {homes either by individual plants, by {community power plants, or by a company which operates the lighting or 'trolley system in some nearby city. Wherever it has been installed it has brought- innumerable conveniences with ir No one is more ready than the busy farmer’s wife to avail herself of electric aids if she can obtain them. Californians 1 have been especially quick to see what electricity could do for the farm home in addition to lighting it and operating power farm machinery. A recent report {from California received by the Unitf bow m Idi III* hko ’ I Zj F W fl II r I io I • 1 ImHM f lEar t IH A I ; UM If ■ IJ Pennsylvania Farm Kitchen Electrically Equipped. ed States Department of Agriculture States that there is more electricity used on the farms of that state than in all others put together. In a questionnaire on household conveniences returned by 5,364 California farm housewives to the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, it appeared that over 3,500 had, and used, electricity. The illustration shows an electrified farm kitchen in the East, in Lancaster county, Pa. The housewife here has not only an electric range, bur also an electric toaster, a vacuum cleaner, a washing machine and an electric’ ironer. Running water is brought to the house by electric power, supplied from a co-operative electric power plant which uses an old mill pond for generating electricity. Nuisance of Roaches. Roaches will not frequent rooms, unless they find some available food material, and If such materials can be kept from living rooms and offices or scrupulous care exercised to see that no such material is placed in drawers where it can leave an attractive odor or fragments of food, the roach nuisance can be largely restricted to places where food necessarily must be kept

Every bright warm sunny day in summer when the thermometer reaches 80 degrees Fahrenheit or more, let the children wear sun suits while playing, in order to get the benefit of the ultra-violet rays of the sun which have been found so important to growth and physical well being. The bureau of home economics of the United States, Department of Agriculture believes ithat sun baths should be given to all well children to keep them well and to many sick children to help make them well. It may be necessary to accustom a child gradually to playing in the direct sun, until a coat of tan has been acquired. A light-weight brimmed hat should be worn to protect the eyes. The suits worn by the children in the picture can he made from an ordinary romper pattern.

COOKING EGGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS Never Boiled, but Hard or Soft by Easy Method. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) As eggs become abundant, the housekeeper naturally discovers many unusual ways in which to cook and serve them. If she is a practiced home maker, she knows that when she increases the number of eggs eaten by the family she is adding to the total iron, calcium, phosphorus, and other valuable food elements its members are getting in their diet. Soft-cooked eggs properly prepared, are sometimes called “coddled,” and are al ways recommended for little children, especially when they are beginning to take solid foods. By simply prolonging the time, eggs may be similarly “hard-cooked” for the school lunch box or spring picnic? and they will be much better than “hard-boiled” eggs, in which the whites usually become tough and leathery if the yolks are cooked long enough to be firm. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture gives the following directions for cooking eggs properly in their shells: .. The best method is to use a double* boiler. In the top part put the eggs and. a cupful of boiling water for each egg to be cooked. Cover closely, and keep warm over hot water in the lower part of the double boiler. Leave the eggs in the hot water for 6 to 8 minutes if they are to.be soft-cooked, or for 30 minutes if they are to be hard-cooked. Eggs prepared in this way are then ready for use in salads, for stuffed or deviled eggs, or for sandwich mixtures. Clam Chowder Valuable as a Source of lodine When oysters “R” not in season—from May to September—clams are available, and as many people think, at their best during the summer months. Both oysters and clams, iike other sea food, are valuable in the diet as sources of iodine, and recent investigations have shown that certain« vitamines are contributed by both oysters and clams. It is not necessary to go to the sea shore to enjoy clam chowder, or clams in other ways. Your local market probably carries either fresh clams, or those that have been shipped in a frozen condition, or you can buy them canned. The recipe for clam chowder is given by the bureau of home economics: > 1 quart shucked % cup diced salt clams or 2 doz. pork clams % tsp. salt 1 cup diced potatoes 1 pint milk 1 medium-sized on- 2 tbs. flour ion, cut in small Few drops tabaspieces co Drain the clams from the liquor and chop or grind them fine. Strain the liquor through cheese cloth or a very fine wire strainer to remove any small pieces of shell. Cook the onion in the fat until yellow, add the flour, and stir until well blended. Then add the clam liquor and the potatoes. Cook this mixture in the upper part of a -double boiler, until the potatoes are tender. Then add the milk and the chopped clams. Cook for a few minutes,

fcisfeife ' jb Jfa- ■W> w " , * !■ MWjHfn ? Miff *---** Greek Monastery of Trinity.

(Prepare*! by the National Geographic Society, Washington. D. C.> THERE is a legend, perhaps it is history, that there was once a ruler in Constantinople who disliked his brother and wished to banish him to the remotest corner of his kingdom. Consequently the monarch built a monastery on a well-nigh inaccessible mountain in Thessaly and founded a brotherhood, about four hundred, years ago, in what; seemed to be the uttermost corner of the earth. . The monastery was called “Meteora,” meaning “domicile of the sky.” After the original was built, twentythree others grouped themselves around and were inhabited for awhile. They were, however, finally abandoned, with the exception of three, which are still in use. To reaich this settlement one can go directly from Athens by train in 13 hours, or one can cross the Thessalonian plains in seven train from the port of Volo. The season of good weather commences in April, when the mountains are green and yellow with gorse and the sun shines almost continually. Earlier there are apt to be heavy rains, and the. spring thaw causes a mist to rise from the frozen mountains which obscures the view, while the snow, melting into the earth, makes mud one or two feet deep, and traveling on horseback is almost impossible. If, however, one is fortunate enough to hit the last of winter, when the sun shines and the mountains are still resplendent in their dazzling whiteness, then one sees them in all their glory. The rocky eminences on winch stand the 24 monuments of man's erstwhile habitation seem to, forbid nearer approach. and yet they lure the adventurer to them by their danger. * Across the Plains of Thessaly. The seven hours’ trip across the plains of Thessaly to the town of Kalabaka is most enchanting. Range after range of hills roll up from the plateau. The foothills in winter are powdered with snow, as though an angel had shaken the down from hi? wings; the higher hills are whiter and bleaker, and the highest hills are as pure as the drifting clouds into which they seem to melt and disappear into highest heaven. On the plains flocks of goats and sheep, attended by their shepherds, are spread so numerously over the land that mushrooms in a field never appeared more abundant. The shepherd himself is a picturesque person. His legs are encased in long, white leggings, ending in pointed, turned-up shoes adorned with tassels. A sheepskin hangs from his shoulders and a staff with crook is carried in his hand. The train crawls over the hills and across the .plains at a slow speed, and the sheep-dogs run barking by its side; indeed, one wonders that they do not outpace it. The ullages, invariably set back from the railway, are far better to look at in the distance, for the stucco houses are not attractive near to; but their flat, red roofs add a pleasing touch of color to the middle landscape. Occasionally a Greek priest, with long beard, long hair, ami long garments, rides by. His high hat and his large cross indicate prominently his calling, and, if he is not in too great a hurry, a pedestrian may stop him, kiss his cross, and be touched on the forehead with a little switch, presumably dipped in holy water, and the sinner obtains absolution for the day. One leaves the train at Kalabaka. and there takes horses and guides to climb to the high-built monasteries. For three hours the horses pick their way over hillsides where, in the month of February, no trail is visible. Up the beds of streams the way leads and the rushing waters must be forded. Suddenly one comes upon a rock formation so awe-compelling from its immense height and forbidding steepness that Dore could have imagined no more formidable bulwark. Andromeda might have been chained to one of these sheer rocks, and the eagles that swoop, and dip, and circle among them could have been the only thing to reach her, until Perseus came to set her free. In those days the valley was evidently a body of water and could easily have harbored a mon-

ster of the deep. Now a river winds along, like a shining thread, with wide sandy banks, that indicate the presence of a wider sheet of water not so very long ago. Buildings Cling to Rock Walls. As the traveler looks in wonder at a detached colossal pillar of stone, he discovers on its seemingly unattainable summit a building! This habitation of man, half natural rock and half artificial, seems most extraordinary. Guides draw attention to the higher precipices, and as one grows accustomed to their outlines he sees, on all sides, monasteries tucked into the ledge? of the perpendicular walls. They are not all inhabited today, but they are there, bearing testimony that man has climbed, and built, and lived on crags that seem impossible for goats to climb. The first abode ..of the contemporary monks is Barlaam, which is said to contain a wonderful Byzantine library ; entrance to this monastery is barred to women. An hour further on lies another monastery, Trinity, where both men and women visitors are allowed to enter. The whole of the west plain of Thessaly. lies behind, and the white mountains of the I‘indos range, rise rugged and imposing ahead. At the base of the rock on which Trinity is perched, like an eagle’s nest, the guides halloo and beat with a stick on a tin can, found in the bushes. Soon an answering call comes back, and over the precipice, some 300 feet above, the peering faces of several monks appear. Then something serpentine flies into the air, and as it drops’ perpendicularly, discloses, dangling from a coil of rope, what looks like a small fish net. When the cable touches the earth the fish net proves to be a large-sized rope bag, which opens and spreads out flat on the ground. One at a time would-be visitors are invited to step into the middle of this net and squat, Turk-fashion. The edges are then gathered together onto a large iron hook. A shout is given, and the net soars upward, while its occupant feels somewhat like an orange at the bottom of a market woman's bag. Hauled Up by Rope. The ascent takes just three minutes. Occasionally the open-work elevator swings into the rock with a slight bump, but the monks at the top wind the windlass slowly, and the bumping doesn’t hurt, but as pensation the view grows more beautiful every second. At last the top is reached. There is a final swing outward, to get a rebound inward, several pairs of hands are outstretched to pull the net over to the platform, and then comes a drop on to the stone floor! The hook is detached, the meshes opened, and the passenger is helped to his feet by the black-robed brothers. They all gather around with words of welcome and hands ready to be shaken in greeting. In their aerie monastery the monks live comfortably enough. The visitors’ parlor and the room reserved for guests to sleep in are scrupulously clean, and the cells, though austere, are also spotless, the wall? covered with whitewash. Visitors are refreshed with jelly and brandy as is the custom in many parts of Greece. The chapel is the most ornate of the rooms of the monastery. It is Byzantine in form and in decoration.. Frescoes cover the walls, silver lamps hang from the ceiling. The numerous pictures of saints are crowned with silver hands extended in blessing. Visitors to Trinity are relatively few, but the monks seem glad to have contacts with people of the world below their pinnacles,, and show the sightseer their domain with marked hospitality. One acts as guide, while the others straggle on behind. Beyond Trinity, the monastery of Saint Stephen can be visited without resort to a windlass and rope elevator. One climbs by trail to a neighboring pinnacle and then crosses a chasm to Saint Stephen over a narrow bridge. At the farther end the visitor must pass through a low-vaulted stable with its pigs, sheep, and goats. Beyond a courtyard lies the monastery equipped much like Trinity.

German Soldiers Put Wild Boars to Rout Detachments of the German army stationed in Thuringia were recently called into action against an unusual enemy. They were sent into the neighborhood of Eiehsfeld. in the Thuringian forest, not to put down an insurrection but to eradicate hundreds of wild boars. On the whole, the wild boar is an uncommon occurence in German forests. Once he gets a chance to gain a foothold, however, he multiplies rapidly. Breeds of 24 are known. Near Eiehsfeld. where the Thurln gian forest is skirted by mountains along its northwest tmundary. the wild boar became a veritable plague. Efforts of the farmers to rid themselves of it proved unavailing. They appealed to the district commander of the richswehr, or federal army, who, to the joy of the troops, permitted them to break the monotony of their military life by going, on a hunt for wild boars. The casualties were all on the side of the enemy. Ask for SUNSHINE RAISINS. Seedless. Rich in Iron and Vitamines. Create energy. Good for children. Full pound. All grocers.—Adv. Long Auto Tow Dr. Eugene W. Fisk of Santa Fe, N. M., claims the long-distanee record for being towed. Doctor Fisk found, when he was ready to return from a trip to a far-distant farmhouse, that the generator of his car was burned out. A two-ton truck came to his rescue and towed him 77 miles from La Ventana to Albuquerque, over the most hazardous of mountain roads. The trip took five hours. The tow rope broke once and the truck went on some miles before the driver discovered he had lost his trailer. Laziness may be wholly due to the liver.

“-And Not Until Then Did He Propose to Me”

I first saw Bob Richards at May Evans’ dance. She had invited him because he was the most popular man in town. I had been waiting all winter for a chance to meet him. And here it was I Here was my chance I But alas, for all my efforts, for all my best chiffon evening dress, he never noticed me all evening. Not once did he ask me to dance. I wondered why, in the long weeks that followed that heart-breaking occasion. TTiere’g Nothing So Distasteful to a Man as Untidy,lll-Kept Hair I took stock of myself. I knew I was pretty —lots of people had told me so. My clothes were all right. My manners were good. I was as lively as any of the girls. Yet—Bob Richards never even noticed me at the dance. One day I asked Mae Evans if she knew why. Being a good friend of mine, she said, “I think I do. You know your hair is so unattractive —stringy and lifeless and«always hanging about your face—.” Heaven Only Knows What They Said Behind My Back I was eternally grateful to May for her iranknesg, which was really kindness. I know tvhat gossips women are. I shudder to think ' what they said about me behind my back! But I went to work at once to remedy my offending hair.

Failed in Attempt to Reach Pole by Balloon The first attempt at arctic exploration by air, made in 1807, ended dis astrously. The Swedish balloonist, S. A. Andree, and two companies, set out for the North pole in a large free balloon. The start was made from Danes island, in the north of Spitsbergen, on July 11. 1897. Five tons of supplies were carried. In an hour the balloon was out of sight. That night, seven and a half hours later, a message buoy, found later, was dropped. This was the last trace of the expedition, although years afterward various Unconfirmed rumors of finding the balloon have come out of the Arctic regions of Siberia and Canada. Many Cgty Families Work A survey, of 25,000 families In Chicago shows the average number in a "family to be fewer than five. In twofifths of Chicago families the wife, or children, or both, are wage-earners. An interesting fact is that the number of children in divorced homes and the number living in lodging houses and hotels is very small. It takes parents twenty-four years to rear a four-child family. During seven years of this time one child is cared for; during another seven years, two children: during six years, three children, and during the last four years, four children. Best of all, there is nothing more worth while if the children are brought up right.—Capper’s Weekly. World Trip in Submarine A Dutch scalar has just completed a submarine trip around the world. At some places he was able to detect with comparative ease one of the phenomena known to scientists for some time, the difference in weight of the same objects at various points on the globe. This was done with instruments so delicate that they could not function accurately on board an abovewater vessel, due to the motion. The difference in weight is believed to be caused by variations in the density of strata composing the crust of the earth.
