The bottom crusts of fruit pies will not become sodden if, after having lin- ed your dish with paste, the latter is brushed over with a beaten egg and allowed to stand for a few minutes before putting in the fruit. Eggs for poaching should be put in boiling water for a few seconds be - for cracking the shells. This prevents the yolks from breaking, A. piece of blotting paper cut to the shape of the salt -cellar and placed in the bottom will prevent salt from be- coming damp and lumpy. When cleaning brasses, first mois- ten your cloth with paraffin. This will result in more brilliant and lasting polish. A little coarse sugar stirred into soup that has been made too salty will render it more palatable. If any odd pieces of material left over after making a frock are washed each time the frock is washed, they will not look so odd if used later on for repairing the garmeni. Potato water is excellent for retnov- .iug tea or coffee stains from linen. The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the fame I bear.—Schiller.

The Road to Greatness, Mark 10: 41-45. introduction—Mark 9; 30 records the real beginning of the last journey to Jerusalem, although definite men- tion ention of it is not made until Chapter 10: 32. It would appear that during his brief visit to Capernaum (vs. 9-33) the Master made preparations for Ms' great adventure. We shall find later. that a large mmnber of his galilean friends were gathered in Jerusalem to support him during those last fateful dajrs. He must have given some ink- ling of his plan to those whom he could trust. He would go to the capi- tal of his nation for the Passover feast. What he expected would hap- pen there his utterances and even his demeanor made increasingly clear. I. The Deepening Shadow, Mark 10:' 32-34. Jesus and his little company travel- ed slowly. For him the terr`ilory-,� through which they were passing•, (Mark 10:1) was new ground, but here it was that John the Baptist had labored not long before. Many people, were, therefore, ready for his message. He himself was possessed by the feel- ing that his time was short, and that ,whatever he would say must be said now, Mark gives a vivid glimpse of our Lord as Fie makes his way toward Jerusalem. We see "the striking figure of the Master walking alone in front, the wonder -stricken disciples behind, and still farther in the rear, a group of terrified adherents." (Seo Revised Version.) Then taking his disciples apart from the crowd, he tried once more to pre- pare them for what lay before them. Not once, but again and again, he tried to warn them. All his own deep instincts had told him from the first that only by suffering could he fulfil his appointed task. He was going to Jerusalem with the clear presentiment that he was going to his death. The details of the predictions (vs. 33, 34) may have been filled in from later knowledge, but our Lord was already suffering the agony of Jerusalem and Calvary. 11. The Selfish Request, ,Mark 10: 35-40. While our Lord's mind was thus filled with the thought of what he must soon endure, his disciples were still cherishing the old dream—a glo- rious earthly kingdom. James and John decided to "put in their names" early, -vs. 35-37. Probably before that forward Peter would speak for himself! Perhaps they were jeal- ous of Peter after the incident of Matt. 16: 18. At any rate, he was not with them when they came to Jesus. Matthew, evidently wishing to save the reputation of the two brothers, in- troduces ntroduces the mother to make the re- quest, Matt. 20: 20. 21. How little they understood what an answer to their prayer involved! Pati- ently and pityingly the Master replied: "Ye know not what ye ask. Can you share my cup and my baptism?" v. 38. He meant, could th'y share his suf- ferings? See Mark 14: 36 and Luke 12: 50. The Greek word translated "bastim" was used in common talk to mean "flooded" in the sense of "overwhelmed with calamities." They, poor fellows, ambitious yet so loyal, thinking only of the "chief places" ahead, replied, "We are able." "Yes,". thought the Master, sensing their real loyalty, 'Ye shall indeed share my cup and baptism." But "the place nearest Christ is not given as an earthly monarch bestows favors. Our spiritual king knows only "spiritual" nearness. The place of pre-eminence is won only by likeness to him. It is "prepared" (v. 40) only for those who qualify. 111. The Road to Greatness, Mark 10: 41-45. The ten were displeased (v. 41) not because the brothers were so sordidly ambitious, but because they had tried to take au unfair advantage of them- selves. They all had "great expecta- tions." xpectetions." Such was the. mood of the disciples on the very eve of their Mas- ter's sacrifice, Once sore he tried to teach them. They had a wrong view of "great- ness". Among the Gentile nations around them, the standing of the kings and princess was determined by the size of their establishments. Their "greatness" was treasured by the num- ber of people who served them. He who gave orders to the greatest num- ber and took orders from none was, to those oppressed ani subj .ct Jews, By BUD FISHER GONNA `MSC THEM: Y woRK. eu. tv6,h 90'd AGAIN a _ IF TNe.Y'Re, A FAke „.r'LL. the very personification of greatness. In the Christian community, how- ever, there must be no such standard of greatness, Did the Master, with prophetic insight, envision the day when his church would be corrupted with that same notion of greatness? Said he, the great man among you Is not he who can afford to have many servants attending him, but he who himself delights to be of service to Others. The quality that counts in the Christian community is not position, but personality; not salary, but soul. The more a man is prepared to do for the sake of others, the greater he becomes—in soul. The highest tribute that one can pay to a friend is to say, "He is a great soul." "I myself," continued Jesus, "have come among you, not to be served, but. to serve, and give my life a ransom for many," The primary idea in ran- som seems to be that of rescue from some danger or some enemy. The whole life of Jesus with its service, its Suffering, and finally its humiliating ending, was the ransom he offered for the sins of many. By that offering lie was destined to rescue mankind from the power of sin. "Ye shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins."

Hen Knows Her Home Williamsport, Md.—Mrs. Ross Downs saw a hen in a poultry dealer's crate. She said it had been stolen from her. The dealer said he paid 35 cents for it and demanded proof. "Turn her loose," Mrs. Downs sug- geste to a policeman. He did and with the interested parties trailing, the lien went straight- away to the rear of the Downs home where elle resumed her duties on a nest of setting eggs. Ttke.YRe.

The pink egg "white" and pink chick are scion - title facts and the results of control- led feeding experiments in the labor- atories of a chickenfeed ooncern here. And, if further experiments being conducted by L. G. Neal, head of the feed house's educational department, Dan Schaaf, and their assistan" tarn out as expected, the ..ens will be lay- ing eggs with blue "white" and hatch- ing blue chicks. They have proven, they said, that by controlled feeding it is possible to produce eggs uniform in size, taste, color of white and yolk, and vitamin content the year through. In addition, they have achieved eggs with "white" a deep pink and yolks varying in color float] lemon to deep yellow. A cross-section of one hard-boiled egg showed a pink "white" and a yellow yolk with rings of deep red. Neal said an egg is 12 days' work Ter a hen, for the yolk, when laid, has that many rings. It is possible, he said, by alternating the hen's diet, to color red as many of those rings as desired. Imagine the dilemma of a white hen Laying eggs 'with pink "white." Her chicks will have pink fluff. The combinations of graie. and mash feedings are laboratory secrets, Neal said. Fashion Tips Monkey fur and fox fur are used la- vishly on formal ensembles. Lynx is used for trimming on tweeds. Dark brown is allied to raspberry - pink, grey, beige and blue in many en- sembles. Belts are made from plaited string, metal, knitted silk and leather appli- qued with chromium. Ordinary house flannel is used for blouses and for coats worn with beach suits and beach shorts. Heavy silk makes wide -skirted pet- ticoats beneath frocks of organdie or tarlatan. Feather ruffles are still popular far evening wear, and are dyed the same color as the frocks they accompany. There is much variety in coat lengths. They may be just to the waist, to the hips, or three-quarter length. When two different colors are used for a coat and dress revers of the same color as the dress, put a smart finish to the coat. Scarves made of several different colors put together like bunting are gay additions to summer sports clothes and cruising ensembles, Long velvet coats accompany dressy afternoon frocks. "White" on Moths Ultraviolet Butterflies and moths, as seen by each other, are very different from the way they appear to human be- ings, because they see ultraviolet ra- diations and reflections beyond the range of the eye of man. Dr. Frank E. Lutz, of the American Museum of Natural History, has demonstrated this by taking photographs of butter- flies, moths and Sowers in which only the ultraviolet patterns were visible. It was found, for instance, that all patches and spots on butterfles and moths which appear to be Chinese white to the human eye were In re- ality a deep ultraviolet in rue. Other white shades were also found to be ultraviolet when seen by the insects. —Popular Mechanics: EAT OYSTERS "CLEAN." "What is the best way to eat oysters?" asked the Prince of Wales recently when seven-year-old oysters fresh from their native beds were laid before him, at an oyster farm, "should you take vinegar or red pepper, or both?" he asked. The manager re- plied: "Nevem, sir. The best way is to 'eat them clean.' Then you get the!, true sea -water flavor." Stammer Is Sign Child Is Spoiled Thumb Sucking and Stutter Are Marks of Pamper- ing, Speech Confer- ence Told New York.—A stammering child Is a spoiled child and can be cured only through patental discipline, in the op' inion of Dr. Frank Pearcy, New York psychologist, before the final assem- bly of the Eastern Public Speaking Conference, which closed its twenty- fourth annual convention, Dr. Peacy was one of three to lecture on speech disorders. "A child stutters and stammers for the same reason he cries for hours at a time, whimpers, is finicky about his food or sucks his thumb," said Dr, PeacY, "He simply wants attention, He wants to be sympathized with, to be noticed. And when parents pamper him he stops thinking about his own misfortunes and is content until they leave him alone once more." Stuttering in childhood is far eas• ier to control than in adolescence of later life, said Dr. D. Pearcy. With a baby, it., is possible to correct any such speech disorder by ignoring it; the grown man or woman is confront ed with a basic defect in personality. coupled with the tentacles of habit "Many people can talk perfectly al home, but find themselves utterly in capable of expression among corupara tive strangers," he sad, "Shock, o: what we call stage -fright, should mol affect a normal person in such a way as to render him utterly unable tt speak. Yet, with many who hare beer allowed to grow up in an atmosphere of pseudo -sympathy, the consciousness of habit gives them an inferiority out- look utlook which prevents articulation." The cure for stammering lies in control of behaviour, rather than in -. an attempt to change the mechanism or physical basis of speech through special exercises or medical attention he said. Dr. Leo A. Kallen led a discussion on occupational disorders of the voles which were caused, in the main, he said, by overstraining, or ignorance o', the principles of declamation. "Teachers, preachers, lawyers and lecturers who do not pay particular attention to their vocal apparatus soon find themselves the victims of chronic phonesthesia, which renders therm mute. The commanding voice is usu ally one octave higher than the speak ing voice. This the actor or the tea cher too often forget. He hurts hie throat much as the boy who tries ter sing soprano long after his voice has changed." ► Mrs. Lou Kennedy of Brooklyn Col lege, told of the difficulties enc.ount ered by lexicographers in finding the pure pronunciation of a word whice has become mutilated geographically "Our only hope for purer speech is through national radio hookups which will distribute into every Ant erican dialect the element of pure Eng lash," she said. "This can best be accomplished with children, for the entire creation of a child'sstyle in speech takes place before the age of five. At this age its personality fa crystalized."
