Among Boxers
Prince was dilTereut. latticed he
was different from any of the fifty
. or more rings i have had lu a life-
time. He was different because he
was a Boxer and Boxers' owners
will know what I mean by that -
but he was a Bing, even among
Boxers. Above all, lee was a good
ompanion. To drive with hint over
the farm or take him with me
across the fields and woods was
like having the company of a great
friend who was intelligent and am -
'tieing. When 1 walked three or
four miles, he would joyously run
ten or fifteen, but in all his ex-
cursions he kept returning to me
again and again to tell me what a
beautiful morning it was or how
he had treed a squirrel. . . . He was
obedient, too, for when be uncov-
ered a nest of young rabbits or, as
happened once or twice, came on
a baby raccoon offside in the day-
light, I needed only to say: "No,
Prince," and he would stand quite
still, quivering with excitement,
without touching the young animals.
And like all Boxers he was clever
with his paws, using them with
dexterity, almost like hands. Most
of the doors in the Big House have
French door Handles and these he
turned easily, but he was very
clever with round door knobs, using
both -paws to turn them...
.It:was Prince, too, who, on cold
days, opened the doors of cars
belonging, to visitors and led the
other:dogs inside. He even closed
the door after them in order to keep
out draughts. Arany a time, a visi-
tor has left my office to discover
that the car he had Left empty
and closed was now filled by four
Boxers and a Cocker Spaniel... .
I recall, an afternoon when a
group of visitors stopped at the
lower garden with a strange Boxer
in their car. It is always a risky
thing to bring a strange dog in a
ear to Malabar, for it is difficult
to prevent the Boxers from remov-

ing half the paint from the car;
so on this occasion I held Prince
by the collar and told my friends
to leave the car down on the road
where it would be concealed, with
the strange dog inside. Together
we walked up the long hill and
when we arrived at the house,
where three or four empty cars
were parked, the other Boxers
rushed out to greet us. Then after
a moment's exchange of communi-
cation they all began leaping at the
windows of the empty parked cars,
one after another, to discover which '
one contained a dog. Clearly and
unmistakably Prince had spread the
word ..
Prince was a sociable dog and
a great welcomer. Like all the
Boxers, he loved picnics and parties
and after the. first uproar of bark-'
ing had died away, he would wel-
come and say a few words to every
member of the arriving party. Bozo
ers are ferocious in appearance, but
they have the hearts of big babies.
Sometimes the welcome to a small
child would create more consterna-
tion than pleasure. Like all Boxers
he was wonderful with children,
and on the farm and among the
visitors, there are many children
of all sizes. Instinctively a Boxei
will take care of children,

JULE T
9' clam Andri ms
The young lad I mention some-
times in these columns asked, not
so long ago, why they sometimes
call a certain day 'Pancake 'Tues-
day". I was trying to explain to
him that in the olden times it was
eustontary to eat pancakes on that
day when he interrupted with,
"Gee, pancakes only once a year --
Pm glad I live in up-to-date tines
when we can have them as often
as we' want. Flow about making
some for supper, mom?"
Which was a reminder that --al-
though this will come to you a
bit late for "Pancake Tuesday" a
kw hints an the making of that
delicacy might not be amiss.
The secret of light, tender 'pan-
cakes lies in the cooking. Use a
heavy iron or aluminum frying pan
or griddle. Heat until a few drops
of cold water palmed into the pan
retain their shape for a few sec-
onds. If the drops spread out on
the griddle the temperature is too
low. ff they break up and evap-
orate immediately,temperature
y, the
is too high. Too cool a griddle will
produce pancakes which will be thin
and tough. Too hot a griddle will
brown thembefore the Centre is
cooked. By adding a small amount
of Mazola or other shortening to
the pancake batter, you will have a
mixture that. does not stick to the
pan or griddle.
* * k
1. If possible, mix batter in wide-
suouthed pitcher so that it can be,
poured into measuring cup. One-
quarter cup of batter makes one
generous -sized pancake.
* * *
2. Brush griddle lightly with
Mazola. Cook pancakes until they
are, filled with bubbles;' turn and
bake on other side, Do not turn
more than once during cooking.

1f you happen to like your pan-
cakes, as so many do, of the whole
wheat variety the procedure is al-
most the same as thesabove. The
only difference is that you should
use an extra half -teaspoon of bak-
ing powder with the whole wheat
flour, and the vanilla can be omitted
it you wish.

HOW CAN 1?
By Anne Ashley
u, liow can 1 stake an inexpen-
sive furniture polish?
A.Lse equal ,
parts of •
1 w linseed
oil and turpentine. Pour into a
bottle and shake thoroughly, Apply
on a piece of cheesecloth, going over
the entire surface; then polish with
another dean, dry cloth.
Q. Flow can f get rid of spar-
rows that persist in gathering
around the eaves and underneath
tate cornices of the house?
A. Make a few cheesecloth bags,
fill them' with mothballs, and hang
1110151 near these haunts.
Q. flow can I remove kitchen
odors?
A. The odor' of fried onions, and
also the odor of fish, can be re-
moved by pouring a little vinegar
. into the frying pan while it is still
!lot. Another method is to sprinkle
oaynteal'n in the pan and shake it
over the flame nntil the ureal begins
to scorch.
Q. Does it tire the eyes to read
in a room that is brightly lighted?
A. Yes; this has a tendency to
tire the eyes. Nur should one read
under a very bright light, with the
rest of the room in comparative
darkness. The room should be in
semi -darkness,
Q. How calf I remove fleet skins
without difficulty?
A. After boiling the beets, let
them stand in cold water for a
few minutes, and the skins can be
easily removed. '
Q. How can I simplify the task
of stitching heavy material on the
sewing machine, such as cretonne
or canvas?
A. Beat the white of an egg light-
ly, brush over the crust before bak-
ing, and place in the oven for a
few seconds. The egg white will
harden the crust,
Q. How Cant I prevent custard
from soaking through the crust of
the pie, when baked?
A. By placing it in a vessel of
slightly salted water, letting It come
to a boil slowly, then boll thor-
oughly, followed by cooling slowly.
The slower this treatment is done, •
the more effective will be the result. ,
They Make Rackets
As A Business
A kin, on Jack penny's program
draws applause and laughter from
hit stadia audience. 'relevision
might slow the reason: a eound-
*fleets man before a microphone
noisily sucking his knuckles. as en-
grossed and serious as a youngster
tackling his all -clay sucker.
When IC,ichesler starts the motor
al Isis Iio'O s 11atissell, or when
Junk opens Isis underground
strongroom, much of the audl-
ence's laughter and applau,e is
again for the sound -men, this
time wiedling a fantastic collection
01 sirens, srlueajiers, motors, and
other noisemakers.
Such comedy routines .don't have
to he convincing, but on a more
serious program the radio listener
most be able to identify what he
hears with the intended effect. Rec-
ordings were made during the Lon-
don blitz to give audiences gen-
niue explosions and bomb whistles.
If a radio play needs the noises of
a canntry evening, some unfortun-
ate sound expert will spend a windy,
damp night out of doors to capture
the effects required!
15Y sometimes antlieutit aounds
aren't "realistic" enough. Radio's
job is to give the listener what he
believes he hears, not what he
actually hears. The human ear is
selective; with the mind's help it
can "tune out" the noises it isn't
interested in. What the audience
expects from radio is not always
the real thing, hot a vague 10111-
bination of sounds they believe to
be familiar.
For example, the roar of auto-
mobiles on a bnsy city street he-
cmues meaningless noise when
broadcast, instead, recordings of
but a few horns and automobiles
are used, so that the sounds are
readily recognized.
No matter how enthusiastic,
sound men are not allowed to
smash down the nearest studio
door when the hard-boiled de-
tective crashes into a bad -man's
hideout; crushing an ordinary
wooden berry- box is equally
realistic. When the sound of fire
is required, the illusionists crumple
and crush a ball of cellophane be-
fore a microphone.
Before the war, it is said, crowd
noises for radio plays were really
the recorded shouts of Japanese
baseball fans, which were played
backward!
