One morning last spring, I told
my 3-year-old daughter Nancy that
in summer she would be able to
dress and undress herself, for all
she would wear were socks, slippers,
dress, and B.V.D.S.
That afternoon, I overheard her
discussing the topic with a little
playmate, and she said, “When the
summertime comes my mamma says
I can dress my own self ’cause all
I have to put on is my slipper: ’n’
socks ’n’ dress ’n’ my A.P.C.s.

WEEK S POEM
WHY IS IT SO?
Some find work where seme find
rest.
And so the weary world moves on:
I sometimes wonder what is best,
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes
wake.
And so thedreary night-hours go;
Some hearts beat where some
hearts break;
I often wonder why ’tis so.
Some wills faint where some wills
fight—
Some love the tent—and some the
field,
I often wonder who are right—
The ones who strive or those who
yield.
Some feet halt where some feet
tread,
In tireless march, a thorny wray.
Some struggle on where some have
fled:
Some seek, while others shun the
fray.
Some swords rust where others
clash.
Some fall back while some move on.
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on, w’hile others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name, above a grave.

Enamel Ware
Cooking Utensils
By GEORGE S. SCHUYLER
Enamel ware cooking utensils are
to be preferred over bare metal,
provided they are free from anti
mony, are heavy enameled, and
acid-resisting. They are easier to
keep clean than bare metal, but
should be discarded when defective,
cracked or chipped.
Many poisonous materials, such
as zinc, manganese, nickel and an
timony are utilized in the manu
facture of enamel ware cooking
utensils. Poisonous lead salts have
been known to be used to give ex
ceedingly glossy surfaces. They are
net believed to be used any longer,
but the use of antimony is general,
as it is opaque and prevents dark
surfaces underneath from showing.
1 Commercial grades also sometimes
contain arsenic in sufficient quan
tities to be poisoning.
1 Consumers should avoid the very
cheap enamel ware sold in 5 and
Heat Teaches
Lesson in Care
of Home Lawns
Whoever in the family has as
sumed responsibility for care of the
lawn this season undoubtedly lias
learned some lessons from experi
ence in recent weeks
Perhaps one more lesson is yet to
be mastered before the family’s of
ficial lawn keeper can consider him
self in the senior class. This is that
there are two good seasons in the
year when grass grows most, and
two periods of the year when it is
practically dormant. The second
growing season of this year will be
encountered in another four or five
weeks.
The best stand of lawn sod is ob
tained whe the grass has been
amply fed during the spring, and
watered artificially only when the
ground became obviously dry or
started to crack. Those who apply
the sprinkler lightly and frequent
ly learn that a shallow root system
develops which will not carry the
grass through the dry July and
August semi-dormant period.
mxewise. me mwn mower wmcn
clipped the luxuriant grass during
the growing season, unless it was
adjusted of late, has clipped the
grass so close this month that the
roots are exposed needlessly to bak
ing sunlight. If the stand of grass
is rather light, one might better
omit mowing altogether in hot
weather. At least, to keep the lawn
even, the mower should be set to
clip as high as possible.
The best period for sowing a lawn
is n the fall, when rain starts
abundant growth again and weeds
are more easily controlled In
lawns heavily in ested with weeds,
or where grass has died bac in
spots, these areas may be spaded
up, raked into a fine soil and re
seeded. An applicatir of plant food
during \v.gust is advisable.
Consumers should avoid the very
cheap enamel ware sold in 5 and
10 cent stores and other low-price
outlets. They invariably have low
acid-resistance. Also avoid enamel
ware with visible dark spots or un
dercoating. The undercoat is less
resistant to acid than the cover
coat, and if exposed permits metalic
substances to enter the food.
Do not store or cook acid food
in enamel containe.Vinegar, to
matoes, fruit juices, especially lem
ons, oranges, grapefruit, rhubarb,
sour apples and gelatin have acid
reaction.
