With this year's maple syrup available—in some places anyway— I think today we'll start off with a recipe which snakes grand use of that delicacy. If you cannot get the real thing, ordinary syrup, with half a teaspoon of maple extract added, will do almost as well, Date -Nut Bread I Cup Boiling Water 1 Cup Chopped Dates 1 Tablespoon Butter or Margarine 1 Egg 14 Cup Maple Syrup Cup Chopped Pecans or other nuts 1 Cup Sifted Flour 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder 1 Teaspoon Salt ee Teaspoon Soda 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour ..Method—Pour boiling water over dates and butter. Stir until butter melts. Add beaten egg, maple syrup and chopped nuts. Sift together the flour, baking ponder, salt and soda. Combine with the whole wheat flour. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just dampened. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) 1 hour. Let cool thor- oughly before slicing. Makes 1 loaf. * * 5 The other day I heard a woman bewailing the fact that, although 7 -Minute Icing is her favorite kind, hers always always either pulls out in sticky threads like taffy, or else either turns sugary or soaks into the cake. And I know there are lots of folks who have similar ex- periences. None of these calamities will— or at least SHOULD—happen if you carefully follow the following directions. (Pouring the icing into a clean howl, after cooking and be- fore beating, means extra dishwash- ing; but it keeps the sugared par- ticles that may stick to the sides of the pan from getting into the icing, and makes it stand up longer on your cake.) Seven -Minute Frosting Combine in top of double boiler: 2 egg whites, unbeaten 14 c. sugar dash of salt %a c. water 2 tsp. light corn syrup Beat with rotary beater or elec- tric mixer 1 minute. Place over boiling water and beat about 7 minutes, stopping several times to clean off blades and sides of pan with rubber scraper. Remove from boiling water when frosting .stands in glossy peaks. (Has much more body than a mer- ingue.) Pour into a clean bowl, being careful not to scrape hardened frosting frons sides of pan. Add 1 tsp. vanilla. ' Beat 1 minute, or until frosting holds fires swirls, Spread over cake, which should be cool and free from loose crumbs. Ice the sides first, then the top won't he so crumby, Use clean spatula to ice the top. This recipe is enough for 2 nine - inch layers, 5 5 * For afternoon tea, for dessert at supper --or even as a special break- fast treat—there's nothing much more tempting than a good, freshly snade coffee cake, This one, with ifs topping of butter, cinnamon, sugar and cora flakes, is almost hound to have the folks asking how soon they tray expect an encore, Ciniamon Crumb Coffee Cake 'Ye Cup Corn Flakes 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter or Margarine r/q Cup Brown Sugar 33a Teaspoon Cinnamon 2 Tablespoons Shortening %s Cup Sugar 1 Egg 4 Cup Sifted Flour 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder rl Teaspoon Salt r/z Teaspoon Nutmeg Cup Milk Roll cereal into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.

I've been talking about cakes and icings without any mention of the more substantial things that should come before. And with outdoor work in full swing in the families of so many of my readers, lots of the "hearty" sort of eating is highly necessary. I think the men -folk especially will enjoy this goulash, and the fact that it makes use of one of the less expensive kinds of beef will be no handicap to its popu- larity with the "dollar -stretching" side of the house.

Today, a man can plunge into an .African forest with a loaded minia- ture camera in his coat pocket and, if he is lucky, bag dozens of pass- able photographs. But for all the improvement in equipment and technique, some of the photographs taken by the pio- neer big -game photographers will stand comparison with any which have been taken since. Take the classic shot of a charging black rhinoceros by Major A. Radclyffe Dugmore. In Africa in 1908 he saw the rhino resting near a small hill, and, hoisting his heavyweight camera to his chest, he moved for- ward, a companion named Clark covering him with his rifle. On the ground glass of the camera Dugmore could see the black monster sleeping peacefully, about 35 yards away. He went on. Suddenly, the rhino jumped up, saw Dugmore and charged. Dugmore says: "No matter what happened, I simply had to keep my head; this was the chance of a life- time, and I must not make a mis- take. So I focussed the camera with the utmost care and pressed the shutter release when he was about 16 yards away—it seemed more like 16 incites. Clark, hearing the click of the shutter, fired, not to kill, but to frighten." The billet hit the rhino's shoul- der, and the animal turned and missed the intrepid photographer by a few feet, • In attempts to get close-ups, pho- tographers have used strange ruses. In Great Britain the Kearton broth- ers made a dummy ox and sheep and then, crouched in their hollow interiors, took photographs of the unsuspecting creatures that ap- proached the strangely at -mobile 'animals," On the African plains, a dummy ostrich has been similarly used by ' another photographer, A still more extraordinary dummy was that of a giraffe which two camera enthusi- asts constructed. One man acted as the fore -legs, and the other as the hind -legs. Thus they fared forth. One of their first encounters was a lion. Unfortunately, the lion saw them first and started to investigate. That was the end of the would-be big -game photographers, and they caught the next lime for home. JITTER Tips That Help In Home Painting There's no economy its painting over a poor surface ---not even economy of time. For although im- perfections may be hidden tem- porarily, before long they'll re- appear looking worse than ever. Getting ready to paint new sur- faces le generally not match of it problem, It's the old, cracked and %mitis -painted walls and woodwork that are usually a headache. Give yourself plenty of time to put them back into smooth condition. Try- ing to get everything done hi one afternoon or day i. bound to seems like a very large, unpleasant chore. During the course of the job there are certain steps you can talcs to simplify and speed 'your wort:. Rent a small under to make tedious sanding ea ier and speedier. Use liquid sanders to dull old glossy paint. Use ready -mixed colors tel enever pn stile Use one -coat !mints and enamels. Use s new roller applicator for applying paint when it is recom- mended..\ larger area can be rnv- ered faster. Use the olie of brush suggested for different types of areas. Too small or too large a brush can slow yon down more than you realize Always read labels and follow directions to a '1', Buy good quality- paints, good brushes. For a very smart -looking room, pant woodwork and walls the same color, This will stake any roost seem larger. Horsehair and vegetable -fiber brushes are poor substitutes for bristle brushes or the improved postwar nylon brushes that you may prefer, Nylon brushes are easy to clean, do not need the usual linseed -oil preconditioning and are nor tempting to moths. It's a card- inal rule among painters that a better brush always means a better job. Don't be "penny wise and pound foolish" by trying to save a few cents on your brushes. For the average job you'll need at least three brushes: 1. A 335 to 4 inch flat brush, bristles about 44 inches long, or a roller applicator for painting large, flat surfaces, 2. A 2 to 24 inch flat brush, bristles about 33„4 inches long, for trimming and small surfaces. 3. A 1/ inch oval brush, bristles 'about 2 inches long, for moldings and round surfaces. There are five kinds of surfaces you may wish to paint; new wood, new plaster, painted, wallpapered or varnished. Varnished woodwork isn't con- sidered stylish any more, and it isn't hard to cover with paint. First, wash it with a strong solution of sal soda or washing powder. This eliminates sanding. If mahogany stain has been used, apply a coat of shellac or aluminum paint to prevent the stain from bleeding through the paint. Theo, for the quickest and easiest job, use the new one -coat paints according to directions. Or apply three coats of enamel mixed with flat paint to your chosen color. (Use two pints of enamel to one pint of flat paint. If you want a glossy surface, make the third coat enamel only, not mixed with flat paint) Before you begin sanding, patch- ing or anything else, protect your roost. Remove all hardware—door- knobs, light switches and fixtures, curtain rods, shades and the like. Move out or cover all furniture and floor coverings. Cover your hair. Put on old clothes. Use a protective lotion or cream on your hands be- fore you paint. Spattered p'tint will clean away more easily at the end of the day, Yemenite Jews who recently mi- grated to Israel saw snow for the first time in their liyes and, be- lieving it to be the Biblical bread from .Heaven, tried to collect and eat it.

Of coarse where a new ' law 11 is being eeta;dishedl the ground will have to be thoroughly prepared first and this means cul- tivating, rolling and raking until it is as level as possible and the top soil is worked up fine and all visible weeds destroyed. It is not really safe to work soil until all the frost to walk on without getting one's is gone and the ground dry enough shoes muddy. But if it is merely patching a lawn that has to be done, then one can son anytime, evert before the last snow goes. The important thing is to get a good grade of packaged lawn seed. which is a mix- ture o1 different grasses, blended so that there will be some quick growing types to give some shade to the later germinating and more permanent types. Grass loves cool weather. It must get a good start before the weather really turns warm.

Adull mower will pull out new grass. Like any other plant, grass will benefit from good soil and an occasional dressing of manure or the right kind of chemi- cal fertilizer. A rich, well-fed lawn will not only be a better color and texture but it will he vigorous enough to crowd out most weeds. Where the lawn or part of it is shaded most of the day a special mixture of seed designed for such conditions should be used. * * ,k ' Sweet Peas Early Too Another early bird is the sweet pea. It gives best results when planted just as soon as one can dig and prepare the necessary little trench. Often one can Lind a corner of the garden which dries out weeks before the rest. If it is not too shaded and gets some breeze this is just the spot for sweet peas. Dig a trench a foot or so deep. Tramp in about three inches of well -rotted materials, old leaves or manure are best, then top off with a couple of inches of the finest and richest soil available.

Good Uses For Aluminum Foil You'll discover a multitude of good uses for that highly versatile stuff. aluminum foil. Many report that its most satisfying use is in lining the broiler pan before broil- ing neat or fish. The drippings are caught on the foil, which has only to be tossed away when -the broil- ing- is done. No more scouring of the broiler pan. * d Line your casserole dishes with aluminum foil. This not only elim- inates scouring, but helps prevent liquid from boiling over in the oven. 5 * 5 There are many who wrap butter in aluminum foil to keep the deli- cate flavor from being invaded by strong foreign odors. In she sante way, odors of cheese, onions and fish can be Contained by wrapping the offenders. * q. A piece of foil laid beneath the ironing board cower is said to cut down on ironing time.
