EARLIEST CHRISTIANS

‘fn the ancient church of St. Pietro ad Aran in Naples, where St. Peter is said, according to legend to have prayed. a secret vault has been discovered contain- ing the skeletons of earliest Chris- tlans.

In still another vault and a mysterious subterranean grot- to beyond this vault, there has been found thousands of skulls and ' bones considered to be over 2.000 years old, and the site is believed to be the necropolis of Paleepolis on which Nap'es is built.

The church building has vener- able associations dating from Santa Candida, who is said to have been converted to Christianity by St. Peter himself ,and the altar is still shown at which it it claimed the Prince of the Apostles ‘ rated Mass»

The present revelations bring important confirmation of the local belief that here is the shrine of Christianity on the continen of Europe.

USEFUL KETTLE

A heavy covered kettle is a con- venient utensil to use in cooking meat, especially the econom cuts, it is pointed out by a noted home economist. The kettle may be one of the Dutch oven types with a trivet to be inserted under the meat after it is browned, or it may be of the regular covered kettle variety. It is convenient. however. to have it of a sine and shape that can be put in the oven, for should dinner be delayed. as sometimes happens in even the best-regulated families the kettle and its contents may be placed in the oven to keep

the.

dishes, such u a pot-roast, may be cooked as successfully in the oven as on top of the stove.

m same heavy kettle is a good utensil to use in preparing a stow, except of couraeno trlvet is need- erLThe nnallpieoeeof meat are first browned in hot lard, season- ed‘, covered with water, and all lowed to simmer slowly until ‘done with the vegetables being added Just long enough before serving so that they are done. It is not ne for the water to ' cover the vegetables, as when the kettle is tightly covered, they can be cooked by steam.

MAKE YOUR HIP LINE SYMMITBICAL

“Bemflng and stretching exer- cises that cause a direct pull on muscles and tendons in the back of the legs burn off fatty tissue, thereby reducing weight on the thighs," says Donald Loomis, trainer of Hollywood stars. That's a good thing to remember during coming weeks when you're sure to eat pound-adding sweets and holl- day feasts that threaten your figure.

"You can't reduce the hip bones. of course, so don't wear yourself out trying to obtain a V-shaped figure. Women aren't‘ supposed to have broad shoulders‘ and narrow hips. However, the perfect figure does have symmetrical thighs that are firm and round.

“Deep knee bending is useful both for developing muscle and for burning off fat. To reduce excess weight, the movement should be rapid. To develop muscle, they must be done slowly and deliber- ately- The old rlding-the-bicycle routine will slanderiae legs and thighs if you do it quickly. It will develop them if you do it slowly, making the muscles stretch and pull with each motion. Rolling back and forth on the floor will help to reduce the thighs, too.

"Another good exercise to slen-

. derize the thighs is done flat on

ypur stomach on the floor, as shown in the illustration. Clasping your hands behind your back, raise your chest upward. Then, keeping knees straight and stomach flat, raise the legs slowly upward in the direction of the small of the back. Hold the position a few seconds, then lower feet to the floor again. When you have mastered the technique, re- peat rapidly ten times night and morning."

AMorningsmile

A local celebrity's presence in the chair at an entertainment was de- sired, and two of the organizers waited upon him with a deferential request. The required promise was duly obtained.

"You may rely upon me.” said the

big man. "Friday, the 28th, in the parish mom. It's quite a non-sec- tarian aflalr, I suppose?" “Bless your ‘ea-rt, sir," came the reply, “the place was only lime- washed last week. You won't find nothing of the kind on the prem- ises.’

THE TELLIB TOLD 'El.

An elderly woman, who is treas- urer of a. local ladies’ aid society, went into the bank the other day- to deposit the organization's funds. She handed the money to a hard- of-heatlng teller with the casual re-

mark that it was "the aid money."

The teller thought she said “egg money," and he promptly wanted to compliment her on the organiz- ation's endeavor.

“R/emarkable," he said, “isn't it. how well the old hens are doing these days."

The lady left with a frown.

Egotists. We can forgive every other sin easier ‘than we can smug self-complaisance. We can see no beauty in the prettiest woman if she is vain. No talent in the most gifted man if he is his own chief admirer. We just naturally hate those who seize the center of the stage and turn the spotlight on them- selves while thBy proclaim how wonderful and great they are and repeat the compliments they allege have been paid to them.

Monologists who are so enamored of the sound of their own Volwi that they never let anybody else get a word in edgewise. Nothing but the strongest moral principles keep us from committing murder upon the per- son who seizes the floor and goes through his repertoire of stale jokes and moldy stories, or the woman who just babbles on and on and m1 while her victims wrlthe in agony.

People'who talk about themselves and who seem to think that the world is- waiting breathlessly to hear every detail of their private lives and all about how many miles their cars make on a gallon of gas, and what they said to Jones and Jones said’ to them, and what kind of breakfast food they use. and the cute thing little Johnny said, and the smart thing little Sally did. '

Oracles, the know-it-alls who lay down the law on every subject and tell you how to raise your children, and conduct your business, and what to take for your rheumatism, and where to go on a vacation, and who know exactly how to balance the budget and take care of the unemployed and who is going to be tie next President.

Practical jokers. village cut-ups. Would-be wits. Buffoons. People who think is hilariously funny to hold some shy, sensitive person up to ridicule and who simply split their sides with laughter when they burn cigarette holes in your best tablecloth just to tease you, or spill coflee over your new evening gown.

Buck-passers. People who never give anything themselves, or buy any-thing from the agents who go from door to door, but who sioall the beggars and peddlers onto you, who send the widow with seven small children to you because you are so kind and sympathetic, and give the purveyors of allegedly smuggled goods your name because you are so fond of fine linen.

People who give letters of introduction Anathema be their name. Friends who give a friend of their friends n. letter to you that causes you to spend your time and money taking people about and feeding them- people that you never saw before and hope to Heaven you will never see again.

Peoplewho make you do their entertaining for them- by asking if they may bring a guest with them to a dinner or lunc“ you have invited them to, and that means that you will have to squeeze ‘her one in at the table and have an alien break up a perfectly balanced party.

Borrowers. People who borrow your money and booksthat they never return; who ask for the use of your oar and. bring it back battered and worn; who sponge on you for. stamps and food and clothes and put you to untold inconvenience and loss.

People who pay surprise visits and who always drop in on you when you have a scrap drinner or a housecleaning or somebody is sick.

People who let their children wreck your house by playing Indian with your old mahogany and making tents out of your finest rugs and put their dogs to sleep on your satin-covered cmich.

Melancholy people whbse conversation makes the lamentations of Jeremiah sound like a cheer leader.

“I have." Mother ‘ ‘ , puzzled at his manner. "You just leave it to me. Sugar will be out in a few minutes. Where were you Being?"

Cart grunted savagely.

"In to tell Jane Lee just What I think of her. Then I'm going to pack up and move to the hotel."

"You leave this to me, and keep out of the house now, if you really have Sugars interest at heart. Go on back to the hotel and wait till I send for you. Why are you so inter- ested?"

"It so happens." Jim Carter's face took on the radiant look of a bride- groom otupld with adoration, “I'm in love with her. Hadrft you heard?"

Mother Friddle ran into the bath- room and got a glass of water. Then she raised Jane Lee gently and forced a few drops between her lips.

The brown eyes fluttered and the old lady hurried into the bathroom and brought back a damp cloth to lay on her head. She felt Jane Lee's pulse and knew it was just a temporary fainting spell. In a few seconds Jane's eyes opened and Mother said soothingly, "Don't try to get up You've had a shock. Rest awhile, dear."

Jane Lee made an attempt to rise Miss Friddle pushed her back gently.

“Not yet. Is there something you want me to do?"

The old lady decided the jail was no place to tell her story. In a few minutes a pale but entirely com- posed Sugar was locked tightly in the arms of the only mother she had even known.

"I knew you would come," Sugar smiled whitely. ,
