I HAVE found a stare-fire method of dictating business letters to my secretary. I simply lock my office door, chain her to a desk, take the telephone off the hook, and stuff cotton in my ears. There is a sound and practical reason for each of these practices, but I don’t think it would work for most office people because my secretary (after much work upon my part) is thoroughly convinced she couldn’t get a job elsewhere if she tried and that if she did try I would murder her before she got out of the building. But to get back to the reasons I take such drastic steps when I am about to take care of my corre spondence: 1. I lock the door to keep out the office gossip who invariably in trudes by sticking her head in the doorway and making some remark like: “Isabelle, honey, pull your skirt down.” It’s distracting! 2. I chain her to the desk be cause she wastes pencils if I don’t. In a half an hour session she will jump up fifteen times to sharpen fifteen different pencils Now I let her chew the ends. 3. I take the telephone off the hook not to delay business calls, but so I won’t have to listen to her conversations with her husband. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could hear what he says, but her remarks fill me with so much curiosity I can’t concentrate. I can’t figure out which one is the moron. 4. And 1 stuff my ears with cot ton so I can’t hear her catty re marks about this column or some of my letters. Once I was dictating a letter to a nationally-known col umnist when she up and says, “Gee, “My Pet Peeve” wasn’t, up to par last week, Mr. B." I must have exploded because an unflattering remark slipped into my dictation. As a result the col umnist cancelled his contract with >ur syndicate and the boss has 'een unhappy with me every since A LTHOUGH pickles are fre quently made in crocks, it’s better to pack them In sterilized glass jars to prevent any possible chance of spoilage.

Using a large amount of alum in making pickles crisp is to be dis couraged. Crispness may be as sured by more natural means such as using a good cider vinegar, min eral-free water, quality salt, pepper and spices. Always follow exact directions given in a reputable recipe. Hollow pickles are caused by using faulty cucumbers. ' PROTECT PIPES ... If yon have a water tank on your farm here is a good method of insolation.
