Ask for .. • THE MA Rosner thought his legs would buckle under him as he took the hurdles. But he was determined to win! SYNOPSIS: Over the Macauley house in the small town of Ithaca, California, hovers the protective spirit of Matthew, the father who died two years before. He loves them all, five year old Ulysses, his eldest son, Marcus, in an army camp, his young daughter, Bess, his beloved wife, Katey. Then there's sixteen year old Homer who has a job after school as a messenger boy. Already the boy has seen sorrow, death and de- spair through his work. He won- ders why life is so difficult. But today is crucial for him in a per- sonal way. The snobbish coach Blenton has permitted Ackley, a well-to-do boy, to participate in the track meet though he, as well as Horsier is being punished by the teacher, Miss Hicks. But Miss Hicks, a democratic soul, sends Homer to the track imme- diately afterwards. Now he must win the race for her—and for his girl friend, Helen Elliot. CHAPTER THREE Twice, Homer thought his legs would. beakle under him as he took the hurdles. Then each time he found he had cleared them. It gave him courage. Courage and strength. On and on he went. He was sure he could hear Miss Hick's voice. Helen's too. Yep. No mistake. Both of 'em. "Come on Homer. C -o -m -e o -n, His eyes seemed to be popping. I•t felt like his heart would burst out of his chest. And then sud- denly there he was, near the end of the lane, over the last hurdle, RIGHT THROUGH THE FIN- ISH TAPE. He had won! Oh gosh, it was terrific the way that crowd was cheering! But the fun was a little dimmed when he couldn't find Helen. It was a shame she had left so quickly. At the office he burst in and jumped the low swinging gate. "I won, Mr. Spangler and Mr. Gro- gan," he yelled to the manager and the telegrapher. "Look what I got. A medal." There were congratulations all around. Then Homer got a little embarrassed when he realized that a beautiful girl was standing there. He recognized her—Diana -Steed, from that rich family on the hill. She was talking to Tom Spangler, telling him something about being at her house for din- finer at seven sharp. And Tom was saying not to rush him because he never did anything sharp. k XI * She looked up at Mr. Spangler with big, soulful eyes. It gave Homer the queerest feeling. "Tom, darling, please be there. Because I do love you darling and Improve Your Health by Correcting Sluggish KIDNEYS This Way is Swift, Economical Few conditions can wreck your health faster than disordered kidneys and inflamed bladder.

ISSUE No. 40-43 A 13 15 you love me too. You do don't you? Yes, you d00000." Spangler laughed and shook her a little. "You're wonderful but you're different. Your people are different, But especially you. You're so spoiled, it's wonder- ful." "You'll like mother and father too," she trilled. "Don't forget to wear a tie." She tweaked the point of his open collar fondly. "I don't like ties," Spangler returned. "I feel all right with- out a tie. I feel fine." They talked about that a little and then she left in a whirl. Homer felt baffled. She was pretty all right. And smelled sweet from perfume too. But was this love? Was a girl trying to make you do things you didn't want to do—love? How could you tell what love was anyway?' He thought of other love he had seen. His tiny brother Ulys- ses and the rest of the small fry stealing green apricots off Old Man Henderson's tree. And all the time Old Man Henderson hid- ing, watching and laughing to himself - because they were so cute. And there was his mother, who would go on loving Pa 'till the end of her days even though he'd never be with her again. Often, Homer had seen the shining light of memory in her eyes. He had looked away with the feeling that he was prying into something sacred. Diana, Ulysses, Ma—all of them meant love. But which kind of love was the most important, the most lasting in the world? Which was the most human? It was a knotty problem and he decided to drop it for the moment. * * * The telegraph box was rattling. Homer brightened. Good. Business was picking up. But as he looked at the telegram he was to deliver his jaw dropped. "Horsefeathers!" he said an- grily. "This is for Helen Elliot. But I can't sing a birthday tele- gram to her—from Hubert Ack- ley the Third." Grogan chuckled. "In line of duty ... `Service with a smile.' " Homer made a. throaty noise and departed. He eareened madly down the read on his bike. The door of Helen's house opened to his ring and he saw that it was a birthday party. There was his hated rival, too, Hubert Ackley. A deep hurt went through him. Helen had invited Hubert and not him. His eyes stung. Then, with everyone gathered around he sang out the telegram through a ferocious grin. There were some gay remarks and laughter. Helen and Ackley turn- ed to go in with the others. A surge of anger went through Homer. He grabbed Ackley by the lapel and pulled him on the porch. "I suppose you couldn't have sent it by the other tele- graph company. I ought to gvie you a lump on the head—a large One. And I would, too, but I'm eivilized." Ackley blinked. His half smile was sincere. "I didn't think you'd get sore Homer. I guess I wasn't so clever." He rushed •on in con- fession -is -good -for -the -soul man- ner. "And to be honest I was try- ing to get even. It was tough to lose that race, You made me look pretty silly in front of Helen even though she did leave the track meet with me." It took all the steam out of .Homer. How could he be sore at a guy who was really sorry? "Oh well, don't .worry about that. 1 hate her. I've got no time for girls. I've got work to do." Ackley extended his hand. "Homer, I feel bad about every- thing. I'd like to be friends." Homer hesitated. Then he took the proffered hand. "Aw, that's 11I right." His eyes twinkled. "But no more shenanigans. So long," "Good luck," Hubert called, On the way back, Homer thought about Ackley. Funny hew one minute you could be enemies and the next, friends. He wonder- ed about the enemies Marcus would fight. How did he feel about that? Killing guys—maybe get- ting killed himself. As.the thought hit him, he felt sick inside. Back in the office he spoke to Grogan haltingly. "Gee Mr. Grogan, if a fellow dies that way—well, does it make anything better? They don't just 'die for nothing, do they?" Grogan watched his young fa.cei. contorted now with old sorrows: "My boy," he said softly, "in war and peace, things aren't for noth- ing, least -of all dying. The old man dying, the child, the soldier die for something. They have got something planned, something great. When there is war in the world that is when they are try- ing hardest to achieve their plan." Very simply, he finished, "Men die to move the world closer to grace so that the living can live— really live. And when that time comes this poor old wonderful world shall be a place of comfort and ease among men." Homer swallowed hard. "There's .a lot to think about, isn't there?" He turned as the door opened. Viand Spangler stepped in, grinning,: from ear to ear. "Willie," he shouted to Grogan, "What would you think if I told you that Diana loves me and I love her?" Grogan smiled. "I'd think it was about time. Where did you get that tie?" Spangler touched the striped_ tie dreamily. "She put it on me with her own two hands. You know Willie, I didn't mind wear- ing it after I met her folks and friends. They're really nice peo- ple. I just didn't understand them. That's the trouble in this world. Nobody understands any- body enough. We're going to be married Willie. • ' ove is such a wonderful thing." Grogan got up, 'stretched and yawned. He smiled fondly at Spangler. "Guess I'll go over to Corbetts and get me a drink—if I'm going to have to listen to that love stuff all night." . The office was quiet as Span- gler read a magazine and Honer went over the. files. Homer had been watching Spangler, marveling inwardly. It was certainly strange what a woman did to a man in. a short while. First,. Tom Spangler wasn't going to wear a tie for nothing nor nobody. And now here he . was, not only with the tie but say- ing he was nuts about the idea as well. Homer shook his head. It look- ed mighty bad for Mr. Spangler. Before he knew it Diana would get him to the altar. It looked like a big mistake he was step- ping into. (Homer has seen trouble and sorrow. Now, in the process of growing up, he's puzzling about love. Which kind is real? Is he right about Diana and how will it affect Homer's life? Don't miss the next amazing installment.)

CHAMBERS Helpful Hints For Honey Recipes There is really nothing new about honey beingused as.,a com- mon sweet for human consump- tion, in fact it is very old, being used before the introduction of cane sugar. It is recommended for children and those finding diffi- culty with digeston. The reason for this is that honey is made up of three sugars — levulose, dextrose and small quantities of sucrose. The first two are classed as invert sugar or predigested sugars. Levulose is the sweetest • sugar so far found in nature 'and is the predominating sugar of honey. Dextrose is the predomin- ating sugar in commercial syrups. Honey varies in color from light to very dark accordng to the 'flowers from which it is gathered. The color does not affect its food value, but the lightest in color has more delicate flavor. Honey may be substituted in recipes for sugar, if a few rules are kept in mind. Honey is always meesured. in liquid form and when substitut- ing, for every ,cup of honey used, reduce the liquid called for in the ;:recipe one-fifth. One cup of honey the same in sweetening power REALISTIC RAG DOLL That little girl will especially love this dolly --its arms and legs are movable ---- its cheeks and "tummy" round out like those of a real child. Three pieces form head and body; the arms and legs. are eachmade from two pieces. No trouble to make! Pattern 671 contains pattern and directions for doll and clothes; list of mate- rials required.

Write plainly' pattern number, your name and address. one cup of -sugar. But honey o-sd sugar differ in their chemical composition—sugar is a straight sweet containing no moisture or acid. Therefore in some recipes such as light cakes, etc., it is best • to use equal quantities of sugar and honey; but in dark cakes, muf- ,;ins or fruit cake, honey gives practically the same taste. Use %-s teaspoon soda to one cup of honey and be sure and increase the salt 1/2 teaspoon. In recipes where a thickening agent of flour or cornstardhh is being used, add the honey wikh this agent. These recipes have been tried :and not found wanting and I hope you enjoy them, every one: Sandwich Fillings Combine honey with cream cheese, whichever kind you pre- fer, to a good consistency for spreading. Added to cottage cheese with a few chopped nuts, it is a delicious spread. Blanched almonds, chopped very fine, mixed with candied ginger, a little grated citron peel and mayonnaise is also very "appetiz- ing. Honey Whole Wheat Bread 1 cake yeast 1 cup scalded milk (cooled) 5 tablespoons honey 1 cup lukewarm water -4IF. 4 tablespoons melted butter 4 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup sifted bread flour 2 teaspoons salt Dissolve yeast in lukewarm li- quid, then add honey, shortening and milk. Add the flour and salt gradually, until dough can be l.andled easily. It requires a pro- per kneading but dough must be kept soft. Cover and set where it is warm for about two hours. This will have to be watched as time varies with heat. When the dough has reached about double its bulk, turn out on board and shape into loaves. Place in well greased bread pans, cover, let rise for about 45 minutes. ' Bake from 60 to 8.0 minutes. Carrot 'Honey Grapefruit Marmalade 6 oranges 6 large carrots (Crisp) 3 grapefruit Honey Extract juice of oranges and grapefruit. Y" Put in earthware container and add the rinds of both which have been run through the food chopper; add the carrots treated in the same manner. Add twice as much water as fruit and carrot and soak over night. In the morn- ing, place on heat. Bring to boil, boiling for one half hour and simmer for two hours, Remove from the heat, add the juice of 3 lemons and let stand overnight. In the morning, place on heat, simmer for an hour. Then add for every cup of pulp one of sugar. Let simmer until it gives the jelly test. Place in sterile' jars, put- ting paraffin on top, and store in a cool dry place. Since the beginning of the war, some three million British sol- diers have been moved all over the world under the' Navy's guard. Out of this total, only 1,348 have been lost.

M'cr Cottage Cheese Delicious cottage cheese — so good with salads and a grand base for lunch box sandwiches — can easily be made at home from freshly soured milk. Laura C. Pepper of the Agri- culture Department's consumer section tells how it's done: Only freshly soured, clean -flav- ored milk should be used. The milk is placed in the top of a double boiler and heated until it separates into curds and whey. It should be stirred occasionally while heat- ing. eat- in The milk will separate when it reaches a temperature between 100 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit— a drop of milk placed on the wrist will feel lukewarm at this tem- perature. When the milk has separated, place a double layer of the cheesecloth in a strainer and strain off the whey. Wash the cheese under running cold water and squeeze dry. Put the curd in a bowl, mi:: well with a fork, season with salt and pep- per and moisten with a little top milk or cream. The whey, syas Miss Pepper, contains valuable food elements, and can be combined with fruit or vegetable juice to snake a satis- fying, nutritious cold drink. It's Easy To Clean Your Lampsh ., des Soapsuds, Cleaning Fluid Give Satisfactory Results When silk or rayon lamp shades have been used for a long time, they, too, require cleaning. They can be washed with soap and water if the trimmings are stitch- ed, not glued, to the metal frame. If they are glued, water will loosen up the glue and make the fabric come off. Dissolve mild soap flakes in lukewarm water in a laundry tub, stir the solution around thorough- ly; and then douse the shade up and down in the suds until it looks bright. If all the dirt does not seem to come off, use a small st ft brush for rubbing. Begin at the top of the shade and brush down to the bottom. Manipulate the brush gently and L. a circular motion. Continue the operation until the shade is clean. Then rinse it carefully three or four tines in clear lukewarm water. JIFFY DROP DOUGHNUTS 2 cups Aunt Jemima Ready '/i cup milk Mix for Pancakes % teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup sugar Fat for deep-frying 2 eggs sugar and spice, for cooling Delicious enough for the most special guests, these easy -to -make doughnuts are suitable, too, for the children—take up so little fat in cooking that they remain so digestible you can include them in the lunch -box of even the youngest! To Aunt Jemima Ready Mix, add 14 cup sugar. Beat eggs until light, add milk and vanilla; add to dry mixture, and combine well. Mix in a little additional milk if required—the batter should be of rather thick "drop" consistency. Have deep fat at 365° (hot enough to brown a cube of bread in 60 seconds). Drop batter by small spoon- fuls, into the fat. To make shaping easier, dip spoon in fat before usingto shape the doughnuts. Fry until golden -brown. Drain on crumpled absorbent paper, and coat with a mixture of sifted icing sugar and ground cinnamon. (Keep . doughnuts rather small, to give a generous proportion of thin, cri°p, Belden -brown crust.) Twenty to twenty-four small doughnuts. Dry Carefully Correct drying is important. Slow drying must not be allowed, because that will produce rust on the metal frame, and rust eats through the cloth. If the weather is right, -hang the shade from the clothesline outdoo?s. The place should be shady, for a too hot sun may make the cloth streaky or spotted. When unsuitable weather prevents outdoor drying, suspend the shade above a radiator and use an electric fan to blow on it. When the fabric is glued to the frame a different method must be used for cleaning. Grime and grease spots can be removed with the aid of a non-infldmmable cleaning fluid used sparingly. The whole shade may be gone over thoroughly with oatmeal'. Shake the fine flour out of oat- meal into a dish, dip a soft rag in the' flour, and rub all over the fabric carefully. The idea is, actually to work the flour into the texture of the silk. Then take a brush, not too stiff, and wisk out every trace of the flour. This will carry with it all dust and grit.'
