MILK AND OIL STAIN!

Small ohil’ ‘s garments quently become stained with milk or ocstcr oil. Glyoerine is the best medium for removing milk stains on gaxemnts oi-this kind and should be applied as soon as poc- sible. Dab the glycerine on the stains with a pod of cotton wool and leave it on for a time. After- wards the garments may be washed in the usual way, and it will ‘ be found that no trace of milk stains remains. A solution of chlorinated lime will nearly always remove stubborn cod liver oil or caster-oil stains. Use one teaspoon oi the chlorinated lime to half pint of water. Soak the stains in the solu- tion and then rinse well. This method, oi course, can only be used on white washable fabric.’

GHOSTLY CHRISTMAS BELLS

Amongst the bells which will ring out toygreet the coming Yule- tide will be many -ghostly peals, heard on n0 other night in the year; for tradition says that the bells of all buried churches join the chorus every Christmas eve. ‘mere are the bells oi Raleigh, once a prosperous village in Not- tinghamsbire, now only a country valley All sign oi habitation was swallowed up many years ago by an earthquake. It is said that every Christmas eve the bells oi the old church are heard to ring again. A legend of this kind is told of a country church near Preston, the very name of which nobody knows. ' In Holland the story of the city oi Been is told every Christ- mas. ‘This wonderful _piace was famous for its magnificence and beauty, and also for its wickedness and shameiulness. One day the whole . lty was swallowed up‘by the sea.

The submerged bells oi Dunwick, now covered by the sea are said to Join the ghostly chorus.

.__________ EAT WOOD AND LIKE IT

Sawdust dinners, a nation-wide lat water supply and motor-cars that run 0n either wood-fuel or rotten vegetables are some of the marvels which science will bffer us in ‘Tie near future. _ The use oi sawdust as food is due to the researches of Dr. Berglns, a famous German scientist, for the Bergin company. By an hydrolytlc process. Dr. Bergins declares. '10 ‘pgr cent of wood can be transform- ed into sugar.

as lignin, offers rich possibilities as fuel for motor vehicles.

Research into the transformation of rotten vegetables into motor fuel is being undertaken at the Bushey Park iaborotories of the depart- ment of scientific and industrial research. Experiments have been conducted in the fermentation of gasses, straws and other vegetable waste, and an industrial applica- tion oi the process had been paten- ed.

All that is now needed for the

prevailing prices of mineral oil is the collection of vegetables matter in sufficiently large quantities.

Similar results have been ' ob- tained in the production of power alcohol from the ferlnentation oi artichokes. ' '

The words oi this old cord still thrill us as our mind goes bcck some thirty-five or more years n30. when, with c. few other budding choristera, we used to go around I- fcw days before Christmas singing carols from house to house. We understand the old custom is still carried on in the old Motherland. not only by the kiddies, but the church choirs, too.

But although as we grew older we sang the carols with the church choir, it was as c. younster we got our blczest thrill. as we would start ut‘ immediately after dark and, selecting another house not-

ed for its generosity, we would strike up with "While shepherds wctched—" followed by "I-Isrkl‘

"What's wrong?" he asked short- ly. "Wilat has happened?" ‘

The words tumbled over them- selvu as Sugar told all- she knew . about Johnny and the missing money. Scoop listened ‘ ‘ . When she had finished he looked grave.

“It sounds bad. We've got to flndhim. Ishsavexygpodfriend of yours?" .

Sugar dropped her head. When she looked up there were tears in her eyes.

“I should have told you. "She caught at his hand for under- standing. “I'm going to marry have Qquguy u him Wis-we didn't toll it be- cause we didn't have any money. and I thought we were too young." Scoop felt his world reeling around him. She mistook his sud- den palior for sympathy.

"Dont' you worry." The big Irish- man got up slowly. “The old newc- hound will solve the mystery. You go home and wait till you hear from me."

Sugar was able to think coher- cntly on the way back to her room. Just telling .it to Scoop bad reliev- ed her tortured mind. She had all confidence in his ability to keep his word. She would find Johnny, and they would know he had not oom- mitted the crime.

But back at Mrs. Sidel's, Sugar was due for "on even greater shock. On the porch sat a large, rotund , man in a dirty linen suit and wide- brimmed black hat.

Before Mrs. Le Masters had reached her car parked in front of the church, she had learned of the robbery at the theatre. _

She was the first person Jake Hill saw after Carter and Sugar drove away. Together they ran through the lobby and took the elevator to the office. '

The empty cash box was mute evidence of the theft. Jane Lee sat down to collect her wits. Sugar was forgotten in the new excite- ment.
