You do? Then, says the Christian Science Monitor, you are, a fair sample of the average shop- per -- it the study of 220 grocery store customers, made by the Home Economics department of tho University. of Wisconsin, I3 an Jndication of the buying habits of people BUY IN ECONOMICAL QUANTITIES Or do you come in yith a care. fully preparyd list, specifying ex- actly the quality and quantity of groceries or meat desired. ~~ 80 that purchases may bo made with a minimum loss not only of your timo but the clerk's as well? Do you shop once or twice a week, buy- ing in economical units? Or do you run-to the store twice a day after small items, when a littlo el- ficlent watchfuluess would have made such. trips unnecessary? Or do you even go so far as to phone to the store for emergency delivery of some small article? The university found that many customers had no idea of tho quan. tities they wanted, the clerks boing expected to juterpret such vague specifications as "quite a few san- sage," "a little hunk of bacon," "not too many beans." Not one customer of the entire £20 asked for a can or package by its size in pound or ounces, or by number. Altogether, the study showed, the buying hab- its of hovsewives are distinctly hit and miss. . STARLET TURNS LIFE GUARD Ann Morriss was recently made an Beach.

It's disrespectful." Yet the child miglA be justitied. It Is disrespectful for any adult to reat any child discourteously, "A hild {s as much of a person as an dult and is entitled to the same dourtesy and respect un adult gels.

You'd ne ver give orders in such a way to **an adult, not eyen to a person hired to receive yout orders, You'd know that such disrespect would make for discontent and inefficiency, .In the same way your child, treated with careless disrespect, will ro sent you and your authority --and - will grow rebellious. \ _ A common form of disrespectful: 'nessa among problem parents Is the habit of discussing a child's faults with other people in front of the "Child, Buch rudeness!

Together they struggle back to find their packs. Is this the end? CHAPTER XIV Zachary "Hades" Jones was a bit wcary when he returned to camp that night. The 24-mile round trip had taken him two full days. "These danged mules trarier'n a grumbled, "They ain't pack broke good yit. Here, Holliman, would you help me with these here kags, please sir?" They unloaded the fresh conl water, ample for drinking, cook- ing, and scantly toilet until an- other week should pass. Then Hades released the animals for a bit of grazing nearby. There was a hole of satgnant water just, a mile away, all right for the stock but too alkaline or "salty" -for human use. : "Where at's the boss?" Hades asked, "Ain't seen him all day. And by graps I'd like to know, too!" "Eh?' Hades paused to look questionably at Holliman, "Well -fact -is, Hades, 'he's out with 'Lissa. Just them two." Hades spat rather copiously and glared at Holliman. "S'posen he is? Ain't no lion, is she? Ain't gonna hurt him none?" "Hell, no! But what business has he got taking a young gal out by herself." . Hades Jones, aged '70-odd, stepped forward menacingly. "What do you mean, Holliman? ~ Why you lyin'--!" "Shut up, old man. Want me to slap you down?" * * * A New Quarrel No one had dared to speak thus to Hades Jones in pore than half a century. Uncle Hades had friends, and enemies who respect- ed him, in practically every coun- ty and corral from El Paso to Yuma. He had punched cows un- til he joined a gold rush and made more money. Then he had been a prospector since. He had gone without water and food for four days straight, helping de- fend a settlement from an Apache Indian attack in his youth. When he was nearing 60 years of age he had shot it out with two Mexi- cans who essayed to hold up a bank at Bisbee. He had been in the bank at the 'time, and Hades of all the dozen people' there didn't throw up his hands as com- manded. People said he still own- ed the scalp of thé redskin who killed his father, and he never denied it. However, it was the utter sur- prise of his "sass" which saved Holliman some serious embar- rassment, there in camp, Hades' jaw just dropped, Five O for Your Get | Hardware dealers are authorised to Allow you 11.60 on any old irom toward the purchase of & pew Colaman, Jt makes and bums own gus, No cords, wires.

But--at that instant Honey Bee Girl appeared. "Supper iss ready," she an- nounced, "and Bawb say to tell you not {o wait for them, as they might not be back at all" Before Hades' astonishment had fully cleared, Holliman was sitting down at the crude camp table, dishing up a pint cr so of rich red chili. The old man dis-- charged enough tobacco juice to drown a good-sized mammal, tab- was no mistaking his earnestness, He meant precisely what he said, Hollipman tightened, He had started to grin at an old man, but he didn't. The keen old eyes spoke a silent warning more po- tent than the words, Holliman moved very slowly--hands away from his hips. "All right, Jcnes. Forget it. You're old, I ain't goin' to fight no oldtimer." It was a wise decision, But the situation was still shaky. "You been eyein' Miss 'Lissa voreself, . Holliman. 1 seen you. I know th' signs, Waal, that ain't no insult, as such. Any young man"d be a fool not to set up to her. Ef she wants you it's her - business; but you be dang shore she does. Now I wanta know--- do you know where they're at now? Why ain't they here? It's weil after dark." * * . Where Are They? "Holliman had been surprised indeed to hear that old Hades knew of his "settin' up" to Mary Melissa. The old fool must have eyes everywhere! But this was no time to argue. Besides, his own curiosity about the missing pair was mounting. "I swear I don't know, Hades. And quit bein' warlike, 1 told you I ain't fightin." Hades grunted. "Woman," he called to Honey Bee, "come out here. What about the two bosses? Where they at?" "They are not here," said Hon: ey Bee, stupidly. Hades bridled again. Contempt almost suffuséd him. But Holli- man spoke first.

'Honey Bee might be surly, stupid, or whatever, but she shore could cook! Many another woman has been forgiven her short. comings because of her culinary art.

But Hades was only signalling, His old neck was craned upward, studying the castle, : He fired again, twice rapidly. It was a time-honored call of the outdoors -- for anyone within hearing to answer or come. Hades never thought but what Bob Barry would 'know it, and answer if he heard. "They ain't up there," the old man muttered presently, and canie back to the dining tent. "Holliman," he began, his eyes flashing, "I come dang nigh killin' you a while ago.

The Indian girl had expected thus to be questioned. She was "not at'all happy in her own mind. ..-She didn't want Bob Barry to be alone anywhere = with the white girl, much less in a dark cave. But--Bob was her employer, as well as the man she wanted; she virtually worshipped him. He had emphatically told her to keep the secret of the new cliff cave. She meant to do so, "Hell, didn't they say where?" Hades was losing . patience. A "They just say tell you both make thee better camp, thee bet- ter corral for thee mules and hors. es," Honey Bee spoke slowly, stall- ing. Then she had an idea, "Mees- ter Bawb, he say must go.

The stone sharpens knives but ~is- dull-itself.--Roman, TT 3 * -- By SADIE B. CHAMBERS "ANOTHER SIMPLE SUNDAY DINNER : - The ideal simplé Sunday dinner should be one on which most of the preparation can be done before- hand; and ona which presents something just a little different from the ordinary week-day meal. We are choosing ham for the meat course, which may be broll- - ed or baked. If baking, and in fact broiling too, personally I like to steam {it beforehand, the time ac- cording to the amount, Then the broiling or baking takes only a few moments, The steaming may be done the day previous. Before, plac- ing in the broiler or in oven for baking, spread the surface lightly with butter and it you wish, add a little brown sugar and mustard (which have been mixed together), and a few cloves, All this can be done just before placing in the oven for the browning. 2 Now. that: pineapples, (the large, luscious kind) are at their best, they make an ideal appetizer. Mint always bears a-touch of favor and flavor served at the beginning of the meal in any type of fruit cup. Crush the leaves of a spray or two of mint and bury them (leaving on the stem) in the shredded, chop- ped pineapple, 1 prefer to run it through tlhe food chopper, being sure' to retain all the juice mixed with fruit sugar, which does dis- golve somuch batter, This fruit can be prepared on Saturday and -plac- ed in the refrigerator or a very cool place, Leave the mint in according to the typo of flavor you desire. Some prefer just a suggestion of the flavor; then it can be removed. after a few hours, Others who like a deeper flavor may leave it in till ready to serve. - MENU Pineapple and Mint Cup Broiled (or baked) ham Fresh asparagus Rice and cheese sauce Watercress "and Radish Salad . Whipped Cream Cake Hot Beverage Milk It you have had freshly picked asparagus 'in the refrigerator, where it is crisp, it will only take a few " moments to boil it. Serve with the melted butter atnd seasoning to taste, One of the recommendations for this vegetable is that it can be prepared well within the half hour. 1 like the plan to cook the rice beforehand taking pains to keep the grains whole and separated. The cream sauce can also be made before hand, a plan which saves much time when dinner is being aseembled. Heat the sauce In the double boiler, adding 14 cup grated - cheese for each cup of sauce, this being added as sauce {3 reheated, Add the rice to the sauce in the double boiler and do not attempt to break up the rice leaving just as ft 1s (it is not so attractive, fit it is mashed). If one wished, the rice could be steamed' (this also can be done before); then place in casser- ole just before serving and pour over it the cheese sauce sprinkling the top with grated cheese; time in oven about 20 minutes in moderate oven, ie For your simple salad a valuable addition is salted wafers (be aure they are crisp).
