Yet, how can Mother expect her girl to grow up to be the good little helper she needs or later the capable wife she should be if every desire to help and learn how is squelched? Small wonder if girls seem to “take to” other things when they are old enough to be of real help if never allowed to begin earlier. Many mothers who would really like to begin their daughters’ training early find it hard enough to divide a recipe for themselves when they want to make only half the quantity called f0}; and when it comes to dividing a recipe into quarters, fifths or eighths, to make a cake or a batch of cookies just right for a doll’s tea party, why that’s out of the question when mother is busy (and mothers always are!). “Thus do fractions make cowards of us all”â€"to misquote. To answer the needs of my own little daughter at five years and the rather envious young neighbors of six and nine whose mothers wouldn’t let them try a big cake, I hunted up the individual class recipes which I used in the days when I taught cooking. These small recipes delighted the lit- tle girls. This stage of wanting to bake some- thing without help is usually even more troublesome for Mother because she fears the result with its waste of eggs, shortening and sugar when there is a failure. Mother knows how soon, at best, her sugar sack gets empty and sugar must not 'be wasted. Because these little recipes proved so popular with both girls and mothâ€" ers I wrote out a few of the best on good white paper, put them together to form a booklet, made a cover of heavy paper and tied prettily. Then with the cover decorated with a gay hand painted design, or easier still, by pasting on an attractive and ap- propriate colored picture from a Whether they grow up to be very domestic in their tastes or not, there is a time when all girls love to bake cakes, biscuit, cookies and pies. They usually drive their mothers quite dis- tracted begging to stir mother‘s bat- ter and soon after begin to tease to be allowed to “bake one all by my- self." FOR THE VERY YOUNG COOKS.

Show the little girl how to make level measurements, leveling off cup or teaspoon by pushing off the round- ing or heaping surplus with the edge of a knife. Teach her how to divide her spoonful into halves, quarters or eighths. As the girl grows proficient in handling the small recipes,‘give her a splendid practical problem in arith- metic by letting her double and triple her recipes. Almost before Mother knows it. the little girl can be trusted to make plain cakes, muffins and drop cookies for the family supper, first under supervision, and later alone. All these measurements are level. Plain Cakeâ€"â€"3 tbsp. sugar, 1 tbsp. butter, 1% tbsp. milk, 4% tbsp. flour, 3/1 tsp. baking powder, few drops of vanilla, 1%; tbsp. beaten egg. White of egg beaten instead of whole egg makes white cake. Dividing recipes is not difficult if one keeps in mind a few rules. A standard sized cup holds 16 table- spoonfuls, one-half holds half the number and so on. A tablespoon level full equals three teaspoonfuls. An egg beaten fairly light amounts to about four good tablespoonfuls, so in taking one-fourth of a recipe calling for one egg about one tablespoonful is used. Chocolate Cakeâ€"2 2-3 tbsp. sugar, 4 tsp. butter, 4 tsp. beaten egg, 4 tsp. milk, 1/2 sq. melted chocolate, few drops vanilla, % tsp. baking powder, 5 tbsp. flour. I am giving a few small-quantity recipes here, perhaps enough for a be- ginner, though probably everyone who makes a cook booklet will have at least one recipe which she will want to reduce to about one-fourth the family size and place with these.

A tin wash boiler is likely to rust in spite of every care that is bestowed upon it by the housewife. French laundresses have found a way to pre- vent this. As soon as the wash boiler is emptied and while it is still warm and slightly moist, they rub its inner surface well with soap. This makes 'a coating over the tin which not only prevents rust but furnishes a nice [hastily-made suds for next wash day.

Self-love is a mote in every man’s eye. Listening for a Metal. Old legends tell of men who had the power to look down into the earth and see where gold and silver lay hidden. The prospector carries the instru- ment over the ground he is prospect- ing, and, with telephone receivers fixed on his head, listens. When the instrument passes over a vein a sound is heard, and the prospector knows that what he seeks is somewhere be- neath his feet. Two Swedish engineers, Mr. Hans Lundberg and Mr. Harry Natharst, have invented an electrical instrument which will locate metallic ores under the ground and indicate their presence by making a sound that can be heard.
