While as a class farmers are

willing to live and learn aboutany subject related to their ' occupa- tiun. though as a rule. they I19 inclined to accept new methods cautiously, nevertheless we are in- variably smug in the knowledge we already possess of our farm- ing. Doubtless this is because we are steeped in it. born to its tradi- tions and legends. reared in its at- mosphere. With the mastery of the Alphabet or even before it, larm-children are familiar with many of the arts and praclices of farm-life. accomplishments that would take the uninitiated some time to absorb.

Down in a rural community a road gang, their number sadly dc- pleted by the attractions of a county fair playing nearby, was trying to repair a rutiy highway. Presently, into the foreman's ken walked a. bedraggled, bewhiskered gentleman of the road. The fore- man wondered if he could per- suade the Weary Willie to do a little work for him.

When the tramp came abreast of the workers. the boss held up a shovel and called out to hlrn. "Can you do anything with this?"

Weary Willie grinned.

Without appreciably slackening his pace, he rejoined. "Yep. I can fry ham on itl”

We recall trying to impress on a parr of farm-lads the importance, of regular attendance at school. In our school-teaching years it, was and the two were at an age uhen there is n. yearning to find less tedious tasks than those which a school-room affords.

"You should make every effort to attend every d:iy' we advised. "Don't stay home at the least ex- cuse or you will never learn any- thing. Don't you want to get an education? Wouldn't you like to know as much as Mr. -?" we smil- ed mentioning the name of a villager noted for his scholarship.

"Just think of all he knows!" "AwZ" one observed wearily "he coesn't know so much! Oh. I guess he knows about books and that" he conceded "but there's lots he doesn't know. For one thing" he said with a touch of scorn, "he doesn't know how to hitch a horse!" "But he wasn't brought up on a farm" the other offered. lNo" the first lad nodded. "but he does not even know which is the right side of onel"

Yes, there is no question about it we farm-folk do have a smugneas that makes us amused. and condescending. and somewhat sorry for those who know little about the ordinary every-day items of our way of me.

The countryman believes one cause of the contemporary magi- strum is that too many citizens have neglected the onion. This ed- lble bulb, is member of the lily family and a relative of leeks. gar- lic and chives, has a certain unin. hfblted authority and nest that is reeded in the body politic.

Eolid citizens want fried onions frequently as a. concomitant of fried potatoes. When potatoes are fried in the same pan after the onions the spuds have a flavor that can be obtained by no other method.

However. our present plea is for onion soup. It is a puzzling phen- omenon of the era why cooks 'rieg-" lect it.

Topflight onion soup is made by only one technique. First. fry half a dozen onions until they are gold- en brown and juicy: never let them frizzle up their edges and dry out. Use a srnidgen of black pepper. a dlze of salt and about a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce as they fry Addaquart ands halforso of honest beef broth and let the whole simmer very. very quietly for half an hour. Make your onion soup in the morning so it can cool for several hours. Then when you hut it up for supper all the isth- fving flavors blend into one har- moriious whole.

Two bowls of this. plenty of common crackers. a Mg wedge of cold, Juicy. maols flavored apple pie and a cup of authoritative cof- iee is a pleasant way to end a

How Not Friend

Tocilessness. Talking Too Muclr Fatal To Popularity

By DOROTHY DIX

DEAR MISS Dix: I am 16 years old. a junior in high school, and though I try very hard to make friends I don't seem to get very fur--especially with boys. How can I get boys interested in me? I realize that no one is perfect, and I am very much aware of my two major fnults. They are (l) I am not tactful, and (2) I talk too much. I'm trying to ovvrconie these faults hut it is a difficult thing to do. One nf my troubles is ihnt I won't come in contact with boys in school this year as I'm taking a commercial course.

JOYCE W.

ANSWER: Since you reulizc the importance of the faults you enumerate. and are trying to correct them. you've gone a long way on your road to popularity. The leaflets I have sent may give you some tips on acquiring more poise and grace.

You certainly are beset with the two qualiiles that rank tops in the list of undesirablcs, especially where impressing young men is concerned. Teen-nge boys are apt to be more awkward than girls of the same age, group. Consequently. one of the things they appreciate most in a girl is tact. Also. they like to do the talking. and deeply resent a girl who insists on hogging the whole conversation.

CHANGE YOUR WAYS I

Be tactful. and learn how to keep your talk centered around the boy. There you have the shortest-and surest-road to popularity I know. if you have a tendency to sarcasm. the transition to fact is very difficult indeed. To hold back the witty remark that is to you amusing, and to the other party cutting, fakes will-power. But you will either be famous for your barbed wit. and carefully avoided. or you'll be noted for tactfully putting people at ease. and sought after.

Even though you are taking a commercial course. there must be clubs. activities or group work in school for both girls and boys. Get into every spot, every organization you can. Work for the school, not for your own glory, with a determination to put others first. By keeping yourself busy for the common good. you'll lose some of the cgotism which is responsible for your tactfulneas and garrjullty. To be a charming woman, get rid of these two demons with all haste.

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am 25 years old, and in love with a naval officer who has asked me to marry him. I. however. owe a number of debts which will take me about a your and a half to repay. I feel I should not set a date for the wcdding until such time as I have paid the debts. but the young man is insistent on having a wedding date set. What shall I do?

UNDECIDED

ANSWER: You are to he commendcd for your honorable desire to pay off your debts. Apparently your fiance doesn't know of them. and the first thing you should do is acquaint him with all the de- tails of your financial situation. If he is either (1) willing to assume your debts after marriage or (2) willing to have you continue work- ing to pay them off. go ahead with the wedding.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have an opportunity to marry a very fine young man. However. my first marriage was broken up due to a nervous breakdown. Should I tell him I was in n lanitarlum for two years and am still taking psychiatric treatment? I told him I had been ill. but didn't describe the nature or extent of the illness. X

X. .

ANSWER: In your efforts to conceal this vital information from your fiance. you will involve yourself in an additional emotional dia- Wl”b3"99 "Nil Wlll Probably send you back to the sanitarium. By all means tell him frnnkly, withholding no detail. the full nature of your illness. In addition, he should see the psychiatrist who is treating you. He will then have all the facts and information necessary to help you recover your health. If. in view of what he learns, he doesn't wish to continue the engagement, you have no alternative but to let him so gracefully.

POSITION 0! AIM mronrana WHEN auoon PRESSURE ls MEASURED

Recently. at a meeting of medi- cal examiners for life insurance companies. it was agreed that the estimates of blood pressure for healthy men applying for life in- auranoe were placed too low and that an allowance of 140 systolic and so diastolic should be clung to about l6W90. It was , ' t A out that the time of day and near- ness to last meal eaten before the examination were also important factors.

Because there are so many cases of coronary thrombosis (heart stroke) and apoplexy (brain stroke) occurring in middle-aged men. research workers on high blood pressure (the underlying can in most cases) are investi- gatl g the blood pressure readings of many healthy middle-aged men. They recommend that the re- quirements at present demand a pressure that is really lower than necessary. causing many healthy men to live a nervous or invalid life to keep their blood pressure low. -

Another finding that will be of

r interest to all physicians and to

those whose blood pressure is at or above the present limits for ap-

. pllcants for life insurance is re-

ported in the Canadian Medical Association Journal by Dre, .7. B. Osbaldeston and C. K. Stuart. Hamilton, Ontario. "It has been

position of the arm will affect the blood pressure reading. Instead of having the arm rest on a table or desk. or hang down at the side. the arm was held in the horizon- tal position in line with the shoul- der. such a position is one that anyone taking the pressures can readily estimate and so creaie a standard. Also, this position is always in the same relation to the base of the heart whether the sub- Ject is lying down or standing up. ewnen the patient was sitting or standing. the arm was supported by the operator in the horizontal position." The patients used in this study as normal controls in- cluded random admissions to the surgical wards. interncs and nurses. The remainder was made up of patients in the out-patient clinics and the hospital wards.

The first group of 25 normal in- dividuals showed that when the pressure was taken in a sitting position with arm hanging crown at side. average pressure was 117 sys- tolic and 78 diastolic. whereas in the horizontal position it was 105 systolic and 66 diastolic. Patient standing. arm, hanging down. was 118 systolic and 77 diastolic.

0 In hospital patients the pres- sures were likewise higher in the hanging or dependent position than in the horizontal position, 13-U86 and l25!78.
