L91 ANiDY HARDY'S PRIVATE SECRETAR it Adopted from the Metro -Goldwyn -Mayer Picture by HALSEY RAINES SYNOPSIS Judge Hardy succeeds in get- ting an offer of a government job in South America for Steven Land, father of two of Andy's classmates, Harry and Kathryn Land. All are to leave for Washington the day before graduation. Andy, sending off the wire of acceptance, decides he can keep them in Carvel for final ceremonies by changing the "Thursday" in the telegram to "Saturday." Andy—A Bigamist Polly was won over. As they started, arm in arm, for the door, the salesman hurried over. His voice was like a stream of ice water descending on Andy. "Your package, sir!" he exclaim- ed. He paused for a roguish smile at Polly. "AAud it I had a secre- tary as pretty as you, young lady, • I'd buy her silk stockings too!" Andy's heart froze as Polly's eyes flashed lighting. "Private sec- retary!" he ., cried. "Silk stock- ings! Andrew Hardy!" She col- lected her breath trying to find words deadly enough to her feel- ings. "Why, Srou're nothing less than a bigamist!" * Andy, when Polly had disappear- ed and he had partly recovered from his (laze, decided that the stockings ought to reach their charted destination, regardless of what has happened. When he delivered them at the Land home and Kathryn unwrapped the pack- age, he gave a cry of joyous sur- prise. "You're a funny boy: Andy!" he exclaimed. "I didn't particularly like you once, but now I feel dif- ferent." impulsively she reached over to kiss his cheek. Andy drew back as It he had been lashed. "Don't!" he whispered. "No matter how much you like silk stockings, don't ever kiss me. If you did, Polly'd be sure to be looking in the window." "And I wouldn't blame her for being jealous ot you." said Kathryn. "We'll be caretrl not to any any- thing." "It's too late," said Andy dis- mally, "Polly knows." Kathryn caught her breath, "And she's angry?" All Arrangements Cancelled "Well, he ain't happy," rejoined Andy. "But look, Kathryn, these stockings haven't got any other innuendo than plain gratitude." The doorbell rang. Andy, fearing the fate he had predicted a mom- ent before, turned pale, Harry, }currying in from the other room, went to the door and returned with a, yellow envelope. "It's here!" he cried. "Dad! The telegram's here!" Reflecting the excitement of the moment, Steven Land entered the room. He reached for the envelope, tore it open and stared in moni- entary' disbelief. Harry took the message from him and read it aloud: "Under circumstances we must withdraw offer. Cancel all ar- nangem.ents, J. O. Harper." Kathryn giving a heartbroken cry as she looked at her father's face, was unconscious of Andy. Nor did. Harry look at him. But Andy, himself, sensing now the e•atas- trophe that had resulted from his tampering with the other wire, felt utterly overcome. Half an hour later, Andy tip- toed into his father's study, his face drawn and tense. "Dad," he began weakly, "how old was I when we first started to have our man -to -Ivan talks?" Judge Hardy looked up with a smile. "About fifteen, I guess," he replied. "Why?" "The first time was when I want- ed five dollars," mused Ancly. His father nodded. "Yoa'11 always find that five dollars worth of last year's troubles aren't nearly as serious as ten cents' worth of to- day's," "Look, Dad," Andy went on miserably, "I got Kathryn outside. She don't know any more yet than you do—" The Judge began to feel worri- ed. "If there's something you want to say, and you want to bring her in, why not do it,' he offered. Andy stepped to the door and beckoned. Kathryn, entering, hur- ried forward, and came directly to the point. "I Changed a Word" "Oh, Judge Hardy," she cried, "has Andrew told you yet about that horrible telegram?" "Wlhat's that?" asked -the Judge in bewilderment. Andy spoke hurriedly. "The tel- egram told Mr. Laud to call every- thing off about the job and South America," he said. "I guess I jim- mied everything up. All I did was change one tiny little word in that telegram to Mr. Harper—" " You what ?" demanded the Judge, aghast, "I changed a word," admitted Andy. "I could see Mr. Harper didn't know graduation was Fri- day, so I changed the dad' the Lands should leave from Thursday to Saurday." Kathryn grew pale. "Oh, Andrew, you didnt!" she cried. "How dared you?" asked the Judge fiercely. "Only because Kathryn and Barry wanted to be here for Com- mencement," said Andy, "and I wanted to have them finish up with me." Rarely had Judge Hardy been so upset. "But this was a Trade Commission sailing for South America!" he cried. "Dad, you can fix it up, can't you?" pleaded Andy. Judge ,Hardy shook his head. "I don't know," he said. "When the State Department does something, it's hard to make changes. Andrew —Andrew! I simply can't under- stand your sense of values, jeo- pardizing something as serious as this!" BKSTcLAUTOMATIC OO ISSUE 30—'41 (To be continued) Household Hints Laver try loot fish salad?

Earle fall fashions are being bought. Al- ready a few that foreshadow later styles are venturing into the stores. Certain factors are pretty well established. The rounded shoulder has been accepted. It's ever so carefully padded so that while it flatters in . afeminine way it does not let you down, It keeps the waistline small by contrast, SLENDER DAYTIME 'SILHOUETTE Sleeves have gained interest. They may be wider and many are cut to fit, deep armholes providing .a soft dolman drape. Actually, they are both comfortable and graceful. Sleek tunics are importantly present. By clever chicanery some are 'simulated by low -set ruffles, or half ruffles that are only at the • dress front. Generally speaking, the silhou- ette for daytime is slender with just a hint at fullness. Fall styles are something to anticipate with pleasure.

For fruit butters, the pulped'fruit is cooked with sui•ar until the mix ture has a homogeneous thick consistency that is 'soft enough to spread easily when cold. 'The fruits most commonly used for butters are tart apples, apri- cots, grapes, peaches, pears, plums and quinces. Apple butter made with cider has au especially good flavor. Other combinations are al), pies and grape juice, apples and plums, and apples and quinces, to give desirable blendings of flavor and color. . Use only sound, ripe fruit, or firm portions of windfalls or culls. Wash the fruit thoroughly and pre- pare as follows: Apples: Pare and slice. Use equal measures of fruit and .,cider, or 50-50 mixture of cider and water. Apricots and Peaches: Scald, re- move skins and pits. Crush fruit and cook in own juice. Grapes: Remove from . stems, crush and cook hi own juice, Pears: Quarter; remove stems but not cores and skins. Add half as much water as fruit. PL,ams: Crush and cook ,in own juice. Quinces; Cut into small pieces and remove blossom ends but leave cores aILd skins. Add water, using from one-half to equal quantities of water to frule Gook until the fruit is soft, stirring constantly. Press through a. contender, then through e fine sieve to remove all fibrous material and give smooth consistency, The giui.ntity of sugar varies according to taste, but the listed proportioIt ie half as much sugar as fruit pulp. Add oinefoerth to ono -halt tea•spoou of salt to each gallon of water. Boil rapicly and stir constantly to pre- vent burning. Reduce Heat As butter cooks down and be- comes thicker reduce heat to pre- vent spattering. When butter is thick, test by pouring a small quantity on a cold plate. Cook un- til no rim of liquid separates around the edge ot the butter ou the plate. Stir in spices as desired, for example, 1 to 2 teaspoons of mixed ground spices to the gallon of butter. Use only fresh spices and just enough to give a delicate flavor without obscuring the natural fruit flavor. Or if a light-colored butter is desired, add whole spices tied loosely in a cheesecloth bag while the butter is cooking. Pour the butter while boiling hot into sterilized containers and seal. 35 Year -Old Bread Preserved In Wall A loaf of rye bread that was cemented in the wall of a house 'in Wauseca, Minn.,. for 36 years will go on display at the Min- nesto Historical Society museum in St. Paul, Erick Sjostrand, a contractor, discovered the bread inside a plas- tered partition he was tearing down. The bread was in a perfect rte of preservation. S,jostral.d said that so far as he could learn the bread had been there since the house was built in 1906. TABLE TALK By SADIE B, CHAMBERS Fill All The Jars! T read the other day that a slogan of the last war was; "Eat what you can and what you can't eat, can." Once again we are at war and I believe that for this Canada of ours, with our surplus of food and our richness in fruits and vegetables, one of the slogans should be; "Let us fill all the Jars." Firstly consider your own family and make everypreserve, jelly and jam that they like, Then from the surplus, let us prepare for the many, many corners of the earth to which we may be ask- ed to send food. So here's to the "United Home Front!" First I am going to give you a few general suggestions, which seem this time of year to be a daily topic. For your very best results do not use fruit unless It is sound, ripe, of a good color and shape. DoD not be overly interested in the bargain counter when it comes to fruit .and vegetables. It just does not pay. In choosing your Jars, pick those which will best serve your family as to size, so that there may be no leftovers to spoil. Test all jars before using. Ad- just rubber rings, fill with water and invert to test for leaks. Dis- card any jar which cannot be made air -tight. This is always economy. Always use fresh rubber rings. Always sterilize jars thoroughly, and if possible, give them a sun - drying and I guarantee there will be no spoiled fruit. Have you had trouble with cer- tain fruits darkening in the pre- paration—say peaches, pears and apples? If using cold pack methods, as soon as your jar has been filled with fruit, pour on the boiling syrup. I using the other methods peel at a time only the fruit which your kettle will ac- commodate, so that the fruit will not have to sit waiting for the cooking. Longest Letter In Chicago, friends of Draftee Gerald Callahand wrote hint the long letter he had asked for. It measured 340 feet. `W Self -Delusion In France, last week's L'Illus- tratiott suggested that food would not seem so short if everybody used dolls' platee, Light Syrup Use 1 cup sugar to 2 cups water or half and half of sugar and corn syrup to the same proportion of water. This is especially good for peaches and pears. Medium Syrup Use 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water or half and half of corn syrup and sugar to the same proportion of water. If you wish you may use the "no sugar" method and use 1 cup corn syrup to 1 cup water. Heavy Syrup This type is suitable for the very tart fruit such as cherries, berries of all kinds or the plums. Some prefer this type for peaches too. 2 cups sugar to 1 cup water or half and half again of sugar and syrup to 1 cup water. N.B.— Always when mixing sugar syrup andwater place over a low heat at first until all is dissolved, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Open Kettle Canning Simmer only enough fruit at a time, that may be completely cov- ered with 6yrup, Sterilize jars and covers and fill with hot fruit and syrup while jars are still very hot and sterile. Always fill jars to overflowing with tate hot fruit and syrup, while jars are still very hot. If using a knife to insert in jar to remove bubbles, be sure it is sterile. Dip the new rubber rings in boiling water before adjusting on jar. Invert jars in cooling to test for leakage. Cold -Pack Canninng Pack the raw fruit closely in hot sterile jars. Have syrup boil- ing before adding it. Fill jars just two-thirds from top, to allow for expansion. Slip sterile knife around for the escape of air -bubbles. Place on rubber rings, dipping in boiling water and sterilized lids. 'fighter; sepal, then loosen tops one-half turn. In using hot water bath, place jars in water near their own tem- perature. Be sure to give water time to boil after jars are placed in bath.

COT SOME TODAY1 other and be sure they are cover- ed with water the entire boiling period. Hot Pack Method Observe the same rules as for cold pack only pre-cook fruit be- fore putting into jars. Steam Pressure Canning Follow the directions given by the manufacturer. This really is the best method to insure perfect canning especially of meats and vegetables. Some Touch -Ups If currants are available, when doing blueberries combine in half measure. If not currant season, add lemon juice—it gives real character. In canning peaches, crack a few peach stones with a hammer and add them to your jars—one or two to each jar. You will be sur- prised at the added flavor. Who does not know the trick of adding cloves or cinnamon sticks to pears? I like this treatment for plums as well. Spiced Fruits Syrup: 1 quart diluted vinegar (very mild) 4 lbs. brown sugar, 2 ounces whole cloves, 2 ounces stick cinnamon, piece of root gin ger. To the ginger add the sugar, stir over heat until sugar dis- solves. Bring to boil and their add spices in cheesecloth bag Simmer fruit until tender, then transfer to jars When all fruit has been cooked, bring syrup to hard boil and fill jars to overflow- ing, verflowing, Seal or cover closely for stor- ing. This amount of syrup will take care of 8 lbs. of fruit. Hiss Chambers %,cic•v,uca persanat letters from interested reamers.
