COB RIGS DO PEOPLE LIKE YOU? A group of people were discussing recently what traits people like in others and what they do not like. For the person who would win friends, their conclusions may be worth] study. The traits which make people like you, according to this group, are: Cheerfulness, attractive physical ap- pearance, honesty and sincerity, in- telligence and tolerance. The traits which make people turn from you are: Self-consciousness, sel- fishness, egotism, irritability, stub- bornness, jealousy and snobbishness. ' WELL GROOMED. An attractively groomed woman will win the admiration of her friends and hold her husband and children as the ungroomed woman never can do. It pays to take time to care for your skin, hair, hands and figure. Don't "let yourself grow sloppy as you come to. middle age. One's family is her responsibility first, last and all the time; but the intelligent woman can cull a few mo- ments every now and then to keep herself charming in the eyes of that family. It is more important that your hair is becoming than that John has all his buttons on. He will kiss you for looking pretty and give you an opportunity to sew the button on --but if you look repulsive and slov- enly, no amount of button perfection can preserve your lure to your dear ones. Think of these things and keep them lovely: skin, teeth, hair, hands, figure. : BAKED APPLES For baking, select large, red, firm, tart or highly flavored apples. Pare them half way down from the stem end, core and place in a pan which can be closely covered... Pour over them a sirup made by boiling for six minutes a portion of water to which has been added a third the bulk of! sugar. For six apples use a half cup sugar and a cup and a half of water. When the sirup has been poured over the apples, cover them closely and bake them in a slow oven until tender yet firm and unbroken. At this point remove the cover and fill the cavity of each apple with one tea- spoon of sugar; sprinkle the pared portion with sugar, and place the pan at the top of a very hot oven for a few minutes until the sugar melts and coats the apples a delicate golden brown. When, cool, serve with plain or whipped cream or a meringue slight- ly browned in the oven. Cinnamon, nuts or raisins may fill the cavity in the apples and fmish variety and " interest. Peeled and quartered apples may be baked much the same, with butter added, if they are not well flavored. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. The ring around a stain, when you try to clean it, is usually because you have rubbed round and round and worked the dirt outward and when it is dry there is a watermark around the 'cleaned spot. To 'avoid this, start on the outer circle and rub inward, dabbing up the moisture when you get i to the centre. A long-handled dustpan saves much stooping. The edge of the dustpan .should.be firm and-evep and: lie.close to the floor, that the dust may not be swept under it. The dustcloth should be soft and not shed lint. It holds the dust" bet- ter if oiled. This may be done by puiting a few drops of kérosene or light lubricating oil. in one corner; rolling up the cloth, and letting it stand until the oil has spread evenly. Use paper to wipe greasy surfaces. LAMR SHADES. " a. Lamp shades are the soo room when they are bright and- new, but how bedraggled they: logk# when faded and. soiled."

Evening dresses run to the darker shades, navy blue, purple and wine color, Black suede gloves are shar- ing the honors. with the white glove so popular last season Hats have shallow crowns, tiny ybrims and' are worn higher in the back and tilted forward in front, usu- ally toward the right eye. The brims roll and show the hair on the right side. Trimmings of quills, ostrich feathers, ribbons, flowers and veils have come back. Shoes made up in two-leather com- binations are an economy because they can then match two types of dresses. Skirts of the new diagonal weaves and of corduory make the short woman: appear taller. Flare in skirts is less pronounced and we have the circular cut skirt which clings softly and falls in a straight line. KEEP GLANDS HEALTHY. "Age i8 not a matter of cronology but of endocrinology," says the edu- cational secretary of the American As- sociation of University . Women." It depends not; upon your birthdays, but upon your glands." Birthdays we cannot detain, when they once get the habit; but we can keep the glands healthy by eating lots of fruit and vegetables, cutting down on sugars, starches and fats, breath- ing plenty of fresh air and drinking an abundance of water. Thus we can postpone age. Many enterprising rural teachers are seeing to it that their children have one hot dish at noon to warm up the rest of their school lunch and keep them healthy and happy. Two plans are in operation: One is-the making of a stew which is served to all pupils. The stews for one week are determined on the Friday before and each child is told what to bring for the next week, care being taken to allot to each what is most conveni- ent. The hot dish is prepared each day by a committees of two of the older girls, who get from it training in domestic science. The other plan is to have each child | ed pint can. The pint cans are put on the stove in a pan of water about 11 o'clock and are served hot to each at noon. The cans are labeled so that each child gets his own. They are taken home at night to be washed and refilled for the next day. THE FOLDING TABLE. A convenience in the home is a folding table which may be packed out of sight when not needed. It may be used for cards, -to seat extra guests at the family reunion or in the kitchen, where table room is at a premium when serving a large com- pany. One needs extra table space on which to spread out the salad or de- sert plates. In the sewing room, the folding table is a boon upon occasion. It is convenient in every room for emergency. usés.'

Balloon Tires Will Supplant Camels "Koosh!" The voung police camel sinks down at this peremptory command. A} double hitch is passed over its forelegs. because you never know what will happen next, even with this well- trained South African-bred beast. Controlled by a thin cord attached to pegs through the nose, the police camel is saddled with an ordinary horse saddle with iron spurs. How that camel protests as the heavy load goes on his. back! He coughs! He grunts; . viciously he bites anybody or anything he can sink his ugly teeth into. And then the punishment is the heaviest: load of all. No wonder, W. L. Speight of Cape Town tells us, that the police camel's days are numbered; and that the police that patrol the vast Kala- hari Desert of South West Africa--a region more extensive than all of old England--will soon be driving motor- vehicles with balloon tires. i Writing. in The Empire Review (Londor), Mr: Speight describes the unpleasant sensation of riding camel- back in the widdle of an African des- ert: The South Afticon police camel is smaller than that of North Africa and Asia Minor, but is a much hardier type. ficiently well trained to sink at the command "Kosh" and allow the rider to mount or dismount. But, even with trained camels, one never knows what will happen next. Some days they are not disposed to move; on others they are inclined to bite any one within reach, a dangerous business, for the bad s'ate of the ani- mals' teeth often leads to septic pois- oning. Camels are most Raman in their protests when being laden. As saddle and blankets are strapped on, they groan, grunting ferociously as the girths are tightened. In motion a camel is graceful and, dignified, but one's first experience in the saddle is certainly distressing. The animal rises with a peculiar motion, and starts off with a prancing gait that presently 's replaced by a quaint rolling motion produced by the animal's habit of using simultaneously bring from home something in a seal- | Seasoned with age, though ever young . tH] Tam of water, cold as northland rains, | | Like frozen tears the ichor in my A wine and "venison deck: the 4 the left and then the right legs. The camel can move at a brisk pace that eats up the miles. This may be w'eful for patrol pur- poses, but tly in ..perienced rider is soon in the grip of distressing sea- sickness. To be caught on camelback in the middle of that Kalahari desert without water !s an experience not to be en- vied. 'Mr. Speight depicts the resource of the camel patrols in that predica- ment: In parts of the Kalahari grows a tiny melon known as sama. When carefully skinned and cut into small pieces it is put over the fire and the liquid extracted. := The rind must not come in contat with the inside of the melon, if it is not to be rendered pbisracts or un- palatable. This liquid has 'a strong and un- pleasant flavor; it takes long to ac: custom oneself to drink'it, and to its Many months pass before it is suf- peculiar' coffee 'color.

One patrol filled its water tanks at 3a tsama patch, but did not take the proper precautions to preserve the "liquid from going bad. After a day's ride they made this | startling discovery and immediately set off for the melon patch again. In the meantime, game had paid a visit to the patch and ruined it. The next known patch was farther away. than the nearest water supply, a couple of days' forced march dis- tant. There was nothing for it but to rest for a day and ride at top speed through the cool,starry nights. One man reached the outpost before the rest of the patrol, and when the sergeant had instrapped him and forced sips of water between his black blistered lips, he indicated the direc- tion in which the patrol lay. When found, the men were at the end of their resources. But the ser- | geant had brought a supply of water with him and was able to give them the immediate attention they required. Locust porridge has on occasion been manufactured by a hungry pa- trol. For this a large number of Io- custs are collected and the back por- tion of the body, including the tail and the head, are removed. The entrails and the alimentary tract are also taken out and legs and wings pulled off. The residue has then to be dried, pounded, and prepared in the usual way. Accidents among natives and inci- dents while on patrol make it essential for these policemen to be well ground- ed in ambulance work. Snake bite and scorpion sting are not infrequent mishaps. One policeman so stung be- came violent and had to be hand- cuffed and tied to the back of a camel ty his companion. It was several days' march to the camp, but the sound man brought his comrade in safely and, after receiving expert at- tention, he eventually recovered. tr -- Romantic Reflection November wears chrysanthemums; Her lips with cranberry red are bright, After her' December comes, *: .
