It takes less than a yard to make a clothes pin apron. Use some staunch checked or flowered material. Make the apron 16 {n- ches deep, with the pockets 10 in- ches deep. Each pocket should have a box pleat laid down the middle of it, stitched in at the top and bottom. This can bulge to hold more pins than a flat one would. Gather the apron onto a belt and' have tie ends or a couple of but- | tons and button holes. The latter | is better because there is consider- able strain on the string when you dive into the pockets for pins. COOKING SUCCESS Cooks who spoil the broth should realize. that they probably did not measure properly. 'easpoonful," "tablespoonful'" and '"cupsful" mean level, not heaping measuren. WASHING SHIELDS Wash shields flat on the side of the bathroom bow! and be sure to rinse thoroughly, once in ammonia water, made by adding a tablespoon of ammonia to a bowl of water. MEAT LOAF Make your favorite meat loaf and bake it in an angel *ake or tnbe tin. Turn out on a platter and fill the cen- «re vith diced carrots and veas, well cooked and but- tered. Surround the meat with mashed potatoes and put a ring of diced pickled beets around the potatoes. This looks and tastes very nice. Try it. * ® LJ * .

LITTLE THEATRE MEETS TONIGHT Members of Simcoe Street Young People's Society have attempted to produce rather a difficult little play entitled "Daddy-Long-Legs," but 'nder the capable direction of Mrs, Gordon Conant, former presidept of the Oshawa Little Theatre, the cast 1s achieved a clever interpreta tion of the play. A dress rehearsal was held in Rotary Hall last even- ing, which a few outsiders were per- mitted to attend. The play promises to be a great success. There are lenty of good laughs and lots of fun created by the Judy, the happy little girl around whom th: whole plot centres. This evening "Daddy- Long-Legs" will be presented be- re the members of the Oshawa | Little Theatre Club, not as a per- formance but as a second dress re- hearsal, It will commence shortly after eight o'clock at Rotary Hall. COLORED PERSONS AFRICAN PROBLEM Question Is Raised by Gov- ernment Pension Officials (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Cape Town, South Africa, Dec. 2.-~Deciding what is a colored person is the work cut out for two commissioners from Pretoria, ac cording to a correspondent of The Cape Argus of Cape Town at Graaf Reinet, the question having arisen in connection with the old age nensions. The problem of dissect: ing the race Ulversities of the col ored population is proving intric ate and necessitates inquiring into the ancestry and antecedents of about 150 of these colored people at' present in receipt of old age pensions. The commissioners are: 8. God- bolt, Acting Commissioner of Old Age Pensions, and Dr. Watermelo, a Government ethnologist. Ac- cording to opinion in Graaff-Rein- el they have a very difficult task before them to decide what admix- tures of blood go to make up a colored person. The Cape Argus correspondent says there are more than 600 Europeans and colored alone, entire under «long in. Graaf-Reinet "at one-twentieth of the ypulation there benefits a scheme. That the Minister of Finance, 'on, N. C. Havenga, who origin- lly budgeted for av expenditure ! about $4,000,000 and now finds robably that the amount is about 6,500,000 and that on a rapld- 'y diminishing revenue---has had shock, is generally accepted as he reason for the desire to purge the peusions list of every possible erson who can be excluded on the rounds that he or she is of abor- 'zinal extraction without the ad- 'ixture of European blood. It has been computed that the "urden on every taxpaying citizen of the Union imposed by old age pensions {s from $25 to $35. SUCH AN APPETITE Judge: Why did you steal 250,000.

"With the consent of my geconder I would have the worde 'at once' struck out of the motion." "You won't get the consent of your seconder," Ald. MacDonald re- plied, that The chairman of finance then ex- plained that he believed the sewer work should be started immediate- ly, With cold weather making paving practically impossible there were many men on the citys special pay roll who would again be with- vut employment. If necessary the city, he said, would have to under- take other projects if its relief works program did not Jast through the winter. it was then that Mayor Mitchell came to the rescue with the olive branch and successfully assumed the role of peacemaker, "Perhaps," he sald, "it womld satisfy both Ald. Morris and Ald. MacDonald if the words 'at once' be changed to 'at the earliest conveni- ence.' " Laughingly the mover and the 'econder indicated their approval of the suggested changes in the mo- tion and it was carried by vote ot the whole council. perty Owners Benefit As the result of an interview be- tween Mr. Ellis, in charge of the rovincial government's special re Hef committee, Mayor Mitchell and Ald. Hart, the city council decided upon recommendation of the board of works to charge ratepayers on Simcoe street south, 30 per cent of the cost of the new pavement in- stead of 40 per cent as originally vlanned. In reporting to the coun- il, Ald. Hart and Mayor Mitchell nointed out that Mr. Ellis had stat- ed that it was not the desire of the | zovernment to charge property swhers more or less for relief works 'one as local improvements, than 'n normal times. As the Simcoe 'reat roth pavement is a relief measure and was undertaken by the ity with gangs of inexperienced un- employed men and without the aid of machinery which a contractor would use, the cost will probably be wreater than ordinary and by chang- ing the proportion of cost the pro- ~erty owner may thus be relieved of he extra burden. In chanving the apportionment of the cost it will be necessary for the ~ity to re-advertise the by-law and 4 special meeting of fhe council will probably be called. Pave Drew [Street A recommendation of the board of works that pave be laid on Drew street from Huron Crescent to Stacey Ave. and that the city engineer proceed at once with the construction of the necessary curb and gutter and greding, was passed by the council last nizht with the alternative that if this work is not undertaken a psvement may be laid people in receipt of Old Age Pen- | 80 an Evlalie Ave, from Drew street to | duron Crescent. Due to weather sonditions the pavement will be laid with a hot mixed asphalt base and tandardize top under specifications of the city engineer with the view '0 securing a satisfactory pavement at less cost than is possible with six fnch concrete base and three inch top. Other clauees in the report were adopted as follows: -- "That Mr. Greene's account in the Somet their regular price." the size, 24 x 45". Lavender and Green, "NO PHONE | ORDERS Have Dreamed About!

Muskrat caught in a steel trap chained to a log on the bank of the Laughing Brook wished that he knew. So did his father, Jerry Muskrat, who had found him. Jerry looked things over very carefully. He ex- amined the trap where it gripped the left leg of the young Muskrat and shook his head. "Bad. Very bad," he said. He took hold of the chain that fas- tened the trap to the log and tried his teeth on it. Again he shook his head. "Bad. Very bad," said he. The heart of the young Muskrat began to sink again. Somehow he had had great faith that his father would be able to do something for him. As soon as he had seen Jerry coming he had begun to hope. His father was very wise. His father would know what to do. Now to see Lim shake his head that way was very discouraging. No wonder his heart sank. It yas bad enough to be obliged to suffer the awful pain that was in that imprisoned leg. Yes, sir, that was bad enough. But to sec the onc whose help he had been sure of shake his head in such a hopeless manner was too much to endure The young Muskrat began to whim- er, "Sh-h-h-h," warned Jerry Muskrat. "Keep still. You don't know what sharp ears may be listening unseen in the Black Shadows." By Thorton W. Burgess Helples:, 'opeless, clutched by fear, A minute sometimes seems a year. ~Young Muskrat. What was tg be done? The young *I can't help it," whimpered the young Muskrat. My leg aches dread- fully and I'm afraid and I want to go home." "Sh-h-h-h," warned Jerry again, "some onc is coming, Keep perfectly still if you value your life. Whatever happens do not move." Jerry slipped silently into the water and began to swim down the Laugh- ing Brook keeping close to the bank. Presently he began to splash a little and once or twice he squeaked in a contented tone as if he had found something good to cat and was en- joying it. Then the young Muskrat heard the soft patter of feet on leaf- covered ground and his heart almost stopped beating as lie saw a trim form step out from the Black Shad. ows only a jump distant and stand with a look of cagerness on a sharp, crafty face. It was Reddy Fox. His cars were cocked forward and he was looking in the direction from which came the sounds of faint splashing and contented squeaks. That was a tense moment. Yes, sir, that was a tense moment, The young Muskrat held his breath. It seemed to him that his heart thumped so that Reddy Fox must hear it. Would Reddy turn his head and look at that old log or would he go on? It seemed as fi he never would move. Once he started to turn his head as if to look toward thc place where the young Muskrat crouched in ter- ror, but just then Jerry Muskrat nd again from farther down the Laughing Brook and close to the bank. Reddy moved forward swiftly, eagerly, soundlessly, a picture of craft, alertness and stealth. He passed close to the upper end of the very log to which that terrible trap was holding that helpless young Muskrat. Th scent of Reddy filled the young Muskrat's nose. Yes in- deed, that was a tense moment, It was a terrible moment. Then it was over. Reddy had passed on, intent on catching that Muskrat who, to judge by the sounds, must be on the very edge of the shore. As a. matter of fact that is just where Jerry Muskrat was. He was running along the very edge and tak- ing pains to make a noise doing it. All the time he was watching and listening for Reddy Fox. It wouldn't do to allow Reddy to catch him on 'and. So he gradually led Reddy far- ther and farther down the Laughing Brook and away from the helpless young Muskrat. At last he slapped the water sharply with his tail and dived in deep water. He knew that Reddy would know that that was an alarm signal and that every Musk- rat within hearing would thereafter be on guard. Reddy stopped short and a look of disappointment replaced the eager- ness in his expression. Then he turned and trotted away toward the Green Meadows. For the time bee ing that young Muskrat was safe, Jerry swam back swiftly, h Copyright, 1930, by T. W. Burgess. The next story: "Jerry's Dreadful Advice."
