When skies are blue and cloud less and the weather’s warm, a pic nic basket is the passport to fun. It may be a spur-of-the-moment pic nic with a simple lunch prepared from supplies on hand in pantry and refrigerator; or it might be a steak fry or barbecue with the food cooked on the picnic grounds; but it’s more likely to be an old-fash ioned “family style’’ picnic for a half-dozen to a hundred hungry guests with plenty of good-tasting food of delicious variety. Whether your picnic is planned for a family, ^ a Sunday school class, or a lodge, you’ll find these foods prime fa vorites with the guests. Recipes are given here in quantities to serve a family; for a larger number the dif ference is a simple process of mul tiplication.

Place in a baking dish, and bake in a moderately slow oven (325 degrees) for about IMs hours. If necessary, add more water to the beans while cooking. Camp Coffee. Early in the day measure the cof fee into a sugar bag, allowing 1 ta blespoon per cup. Place this in the coffeepot with a little cold water and let it stand all day. Then when nearly time to serve, pour boiling water, which has been previously meas ured, into the pot. Boil 5 minutes, remove the bag, and your coffee is ready to serve. It will not harm it to let it stand for a while. You will find that this unusual way of mak ing coffee will give you a most de lightful, full-flavored beverage, and at the same time saves considerable measuring and pot-watching when you want to be enjoying your picnic, too!

Green bananas will ripen quickly if they are placed in a paper bag and stored in a dark place. In making fancy sandwiches cut a piece out of top slice of bread with thimble. In opening insert slice of olive. After using the hot-water bottle let it drain, blow it full of air and put in the stopper. This will pre vent it from sticking. A President’s Attendance Caused Flurry of Excitement in Church One Sunday during the summer it 1917 the President suggested that we drive quietly over to Vir ginia and attend the service at the Pohick church, which was the place of worship of George Wash ington. When we arrived, the lit tle edifice was well filled. Mr. Wilson, my brother Randolph and I were escorted to the Washington pew, given prayer books and left to ourselves. The service over, we were accompanied to the door by a member of the vestry and permitted to depart without any of the crowding about which usually attends the appearance of a Presi dent in public. Also I was im pressed by the large congregation, for it was raining. Afterwards Mr. Jervis, one of the secret service men, asked: “M” for Noon According to the United States Naval Observatory 12:00 M is al most universally used to desig nate 12:00 o’clock noon. M in this connection is an abbreviation of “Meridiem,” the accusative of the Latin “meridies,” meaning mid day. “May I tell you a story?” This is the story: Knowing our plans, Mr. Jervis had reached the church at 9:30, finding it closed and not a soul about. At the nearest house he inquired whether there was to be a service. The man did not know, but said that the preacher was holding Sunday school at his own home and that Jervis might in quire of him. At the minister’s house Mr. Jervis found a young man instructing a group of bare foot girls and boys. Jervis asked the man whether there would be a service at the church, because the President had intended to come. “The President of what?” asked the clergyman. “Of the United States,” replied Jervis. The minister looked at his caller sorrowfully. “Young man, are you ill?” he asked. Jervis showed his badge, adding that the President and Mrs. Wil son were due in an hour. The minister clapped his hands. “Chil dren, Sunday school is dismissed. All of you run home and tell your fathers and mothers the President is coming to church and I want a good congregation to welcome him.” Then he turned to Jervis. Wise and Otherwise If your garden is fooling you, give il a few digs in return. Women can give everything with a smile and take everything back with a tear. Every dog has his day, says the proverb. And, judging by the row in my back garden, every cat has her knight. “Parents are often a hindrance to children in a career? says a judge. Perhaps—but the children could hardly start a career without them. A seaside worker tells me he gets $2.50 a day for picking up litter. A tidy sum? Did the guy who said M honesty is the best policy” ever try telling the boss what he really thought of him? Hank says his wife’s new diet has fairly took her breadth away! “Young man, I must shave. You run over to the church and tell the sexton to ring the bell— vigorously.” At the church Jervis found the old sexton opening the door. He gave the minister’s mes sage. The sexton’s mouth stood open for a minute. Then he said: “Here, you ring that bell. It’s just outside in a tree. I got to go home and shave.”—Edith Bolling Wilson in The Saturday Evening Post. * VO* Mm ; x v." • : ' ic e n© v ' —| — FOR JSSaston* x 'firestone STANDARD TIRES SCIENTIFIC SAFETY TREAD GIVES LONG NON-SKIP MILEAGE GUM-DIPPED CORD BODY GIVES PROTECTION AGAINST BLOWOUTS Come in today and l equip your \\>‘ car with V ...
