Woman's World By MAIR M. MORQAN 1-/ fTj 'A Woman'* Plae* !• In th« Horn*.* Spring Cleaning Maay o( us were brought up in house- holds where the mentloa ot spring cleaning immediately pictured scenes of a reritable orgy ot onslaughts against dust and moths; where all the furniture in the house was out on the front lawn at one time; where you ate anything you could find as you stood up In a welter of brooms and mops and pails, where at least two weeks life was acutely uncomfortable, result- ing in frayed nerves for the whole family and utter exhaustion for the "lady of the house"; and where for about two months afterwards you couldn't find anything, even your furni- ture, where you expected to find It. There is no doubt but that we all made up our minds that our spring cleaning would be done little by little, in other words, we would have a system, •whereby the accumulation of winter grim would be swept away with as lit- tle inconvenience as possible. Hoarders Most ot us love to hoard things in our cupboards, and we have to exert a great deal of will power to do away with a lot of accumulated junk. No- body, however, should hesitate to throw away old medicine bottles (it you've kept the stuff too long, it may be poisonous), aged powder puffs, old letters, hats, frocks, and shoes you'll never w^ear again, broken bits of cheap jewellery, broken china and glass, pic- tures and furniture put away to be mended â€" all these come under the head ot hoarding and away they must go. After a bonfire, reline all the shelves, drawers and cupboards with clean paper. Wash all the woodwork with turpentine â€" it helps keep the moths away. A good tip is to collect all chandeliers, globes and glass shades from the electric lights throughout the house and make a bee ot washing them all in one morning. Warm soapsuds with a few drops of household ammonia will clean them best. Then polish the metal brackets dry the glass carefully and put it back in place. When you come to do the other part of the room, you cover the electric fixtures with tissue paper. An- other helpful hint is to do all the pic- tures in the house at one swoop, clean- ing the glass, brushing the backs, be- cause they may be piled in the cleaned cupboards ready to hang when the walls are finished. Step-By-Step Blankets, curtains and rugs might he gradually sent to the laundry and cleaners. In this way, you will not have all the expense at once and as they come back, they may be put in drawers or put away for the summer. Mattresses should be well aired and cleaned with the vacuum. Do one bed a day and thoroughly clean and oil the spring. Some rainy mornlrg get to- gether all the silver and brass and have a regular cleanup. If you possess a large collection of books, go through them, classifying them, give away those you do not want to keep, dust thoroughly those you do want and put back In order on clean shelves. Dust sheets will protect them when the rest of the cleaning Is under way. Preparation Another thing to do in advance is to inspect your equipment. Be sure you have all the cleaning materials, waxes, furniture polish, turpentine, paint, cleaning-clothes, etc., that you reijuire. Have plenty of soap, wash- ing soda, ammonia, soap flakes and piles of clean rags. Save your news- papers for two or three weeks before you start cleaning as they are useful for covering floors and furniture. Caution: Take it easyâ€" and be fresh as your hou.se when the busy season Is over. Easy, Quick Recipes The foregoing outline ot work calls for something easy and quick to eat, ind the following are tasty, time-sav- ing dishes: Scalloped Tomatoes Remove contents from one can to- matoes and drain tomatoes from some o( their liquor. Season with salt, pep- per and a few drop.* onion juice, and lugar. if preferred a little sweet, rover bottom of baking dish with buttered eracker crumbs, cover with tomatoes and sprinkle top with buttered crumbs. Bake In hot oven till crumbs are brown. Corn a la Southern To one can com, add two eggs slightly beaten, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon pepper, 1 and ^ tablespoons melted butter and a pint scalded milk. Turn all Into buttered pudding dish and bake in slow oven till firm. Baked Corn With Cheeto One cup canned corn, 2 egg yolks, Vi medium green pepper, 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 14 teaspoon paprika, 1 cup cooked rice, and hi cup grated cheese. Beat the egg yolk well and add to the corn. Add the chopped green pepper and onion to the butter and cook until the onion is lightly browned. Combine with the corn mix- ture and add cupful ot cooked rice and turn one-half ot the mixture into a greased casserole. Over this sprinkle half of the grated cheese, add the rest of the corn mixture and sprinkle with the remainder ot the cheese. Bake in a moderate oven (375 deg. F.) for 15 to 20 minutes. Salmon Fritters One large can salmon drained and chopped fine, four eggs well beaten, pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together, fry in hot tat by tables poonfuls and serve on lettuce leaves, hot or cold. Salmon Loaf Two cups canned salmon, 1 cup soft breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, ?* cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Remove bones and skins from fish and drain, saving liquor for sauce. Mix all ingredients together, mold in loaf and pack into well greased shallow mould. Bake -JO minutes in moderate oven. Serve with egg sauce, or plain white sauce, or creamed oyster sauce. Other Tinned Fish There are a number ot ways of using canned fish ot all kinds, and if space permtted we would give you de- tails ot them. All the shell fish lend themselves admirably to creaming and crabmeat, lobster or shrimps as you know may be served in salads too. Celery is alw^ays a standby in salads of this kind, and cabbage is sometimes used. Boiled celery and peas add a slightly different, but most intriguing fiavor to a la king dishes and the addi- tion ot pimento or peppers is also most desirable. Canned asparagus provides the foun- dation ot a substantial luncheon main course, it it is served on toast with a cheese sauce, or simply with melted butter, in fact all the tinned vegetables on the market may be utilized by the up-to-date housewife with success. So look to cannea gooas as a real help in providing your family with nourishing, well balanced meals.' Clocks Clocks can be cleaned at home by placing a piece of cotton-wool soaked with kerosene at the bottom of the clock Inside, and leaving it there for a few days. The fumes ot the kero- sene will loosen the dirt and dust in the clock so that it will all fall dowu on to the cotton-wool. A Jumper Variation By HELEN WILLIAMS. Illuttrated Dreitmaki-ng Lettan Fur- niaked With Every Pattern Users of Ellectricity Gaining in Gt. Britain London. â€" One London electric com- pany added 48.000 new consumers last year and another 22.S37. Till a tew years ago the British had been slow to adopt electric lights and power. Even now the British consumption is less than one- seventh that ot the United States, though it hns one-third the popula- tion. It is nevertheless three times what it was 10 years ago. Electricity has now been made available almost everywhere, and the prices charged consumers have been greatly reduced. It is being adopt- ed widely for industrial power, and i.s making rapid galius in the fields ot advertising, heating and cooking. In London enormous numbers ot old houses ar(.» being cut up into apartinent.-s, or "flats." and thousands of new houses are b?ing built in the suburb.^. AI! are bein.s wired for eli'i-trii-ity.

Since Mark 7:2-1 they were outside Galilee. Because of the danger from Antipaa, and also because he wishe«l for more til « in private Aith his nr.en, Jesus avoided recognition, v. 30. This was really the beginning of the journey to Jerusalem, although it is not men- tioned until Mark 10: 32. Once more ha tried to accustom them to the iiiea of a suffering Mes- siah, V. 31. Still perplexed, they had not the courage to ask him more about it, v. 32. They were soon to reveal a deeper misunderstanding. I. THE REAL GREAT.N'Esa, Mark 9:33-37. The little band of men busily talk- ii.g,,their Master in silence going on isefore, finally arrived in Capernaum. Jesus suddenly a.s!ied, "What were you disputing about in the way?" Asham- ed to tell, they said nothing. No won- der! It was the ii.me old subject â€" who woald get the most important job in the new kingdom? Mark certainly does not paint a flatttring picture of these slow-witted, jealous men, v. 34. Taking them aside Jesus taught them again thei- much-needed lesson. The key to life's noblest honor is hu- mility. Ambition and pride lead to ruin. Cardinal Wolsey, in his bitter- ness when the king Thoni he had serv- ed so long had linally thrown him out, adjures Cromwell: "Mark but my fall, and .hat that r ined me. Cromwell, I charge thee, fling away ambition. By that sin fell the angels, how can man then, the image of his Maker, hope to win by 't?" The man who devotes his ener- gies to "feathering his own nest," whether in politics, church, society or business, is thereby incapacitated from entering the Christian fellowship. Service is the only valid passport. To mi-ke his les.ion plain, he took a little child in his arms â€" probably Peter's â€" and said. "Whosoever receiv- es one of such children in my name receives me, vs. 36. 37. The Chris- tian's own humility must be matched by his eagerness to receive into the company of believers even the seem- insrlv most insignificaiit person imag- inable. The prominent place that Jesus gave to little children, early inspired the rito of baptism, admitting them into the fellowship of the early church. "In my name" means ''be- cause he belongs to me." See v. 41. 1 he next time they would see some raggred urchin, 'some poor strangrer, coming to church they wo aid say, "Here comes one of Christ's 'little ones','' and would treat him accord- ingly! WTio would expect to find Christ behind that dirty face? And yet v. 37! II. THE SECT.AJtL\N .\HNl\ Mark 9: 38-43. Jehr. then spoke up. Their ambi- t"on was really part of their devotion to their Master. He .Vfuld cite an in- stance of their leal, and he told about the man whom they found one day healing people. "We forbaae him be- cause he followed not us." John thought this would please Jt-.-us. "Do not prevent him," explained the Master. "Jud^re a man, not by the badg<e he wears, but by the quality of his work. Every .ife whose touch is loving and helpful is on my side." Some of Baxter's followers condemned Sir Matthew Hale is mconverted, be- c.iuse he did not attend their weekly prayer-meetings. "I," said Baxter. ''. . . that have seen his love to all good men, and the blamelessness of his life, thought better of his piety than of my ov.t.."' The spirit of Jc^us is the only orthodoxy. Even the ren- dering of the humblest service â€" a cup of water to a passing missionary â€" because one is favorably disposed to- ward Christ will be rewarded. People v.ho do such things may be "uncon- scious'' Christians. They may not use the' name, but they are living the life, V. 41. "Christ forbids such 'forbidding.' and thereby sanctions "irregularities' and "unattachei" work, which have al- ways been the bugbears of sticklers for ecclesiastical uniformity, and have not seldom been the life of Christianity Th.Tt authoritative, unconditional 'for- bid him not' ought Icng ago. to have ended the temptation to idolize 'cen- formity,' and to confound union to organized forms of the Christian com- munity with union to Christ.

Because the man's action gives guarantees for his future, they are not to silence him. That implies that they are only to forbid those who do speak evil of Christ; and that to all others, even if they have not reached the full percep- tion of truth, they are to extend pa- tient forbearance and guidance. "The mouth of them that speak lies sha'.l be stopped'; but the mouth that be- gins to stammer his name is to 'oe taught and cherished." On the other hand, to put any ob- stacle in the way of one of "these lit- tle ones," the innocent, untutored chil- d-^n whom Jesus loved, or the unin- structed. under-privileged folk who follow such light as they have, is an atrocious crime. It were better for that man that he be "cast into the sea," v. 42. The thought of any pun- ishment that could be worse than be- lii^ t]iiu>vil iii^o [\iv st-a \^uUiu iiiake a Jew shudder. The Jew always regard- ed the sea. with its hideous, hungry n.onsters. with undisguised horror. With the extraordinary force and vividness characteristic of the Orient- al, Jesus insists that nothing, however precious, is to be permitted to inter- fere wit", the development of the good life, v. 43. If my hand should become my stumbling-block, I must cut it off. But what gcwd would it do to cut off tl • hand that did the wrong if the spirit that prompted the act was still unchanged? This is Jesus' vivid way of saying that .ibsoiutely nothing iiui.st bo permitted to oppose love.

WITH THE NtSGO A Practical Suggestion Here Is something that will be of Interest to all Loa* Scouta Uvlng on farms, and It will probably b* of In- terest to any farmer whos* ey* may catch this column. As you probobly know, all Boy Scouts look forward to tta* summer time when at least It Is hoped to spend a few days in a camp. Every year a large number of Boy Scout Troops from the towns and cities go out to the country or the lake shore and spend a week or two under canvas, and benefit very greatly, both in health and training, by the experience. Last year no fewer than 4500 Boy Scouts in Ontario attended Registered Scout Camps In this manner. But 1933 does not hold out such bright hopes, as money is scarce, and it costs a great deal of money to or- ganize such a camp. Thus it is feared that many boys will not be able to afford to attend a camp this year, ow- ing to the high cost. Dominion Headquarters, however, has made a suggestion which we think is very practical. Many Lone Scouts are living on farms, where living is also a difficult problem. Perhaps on the farm there is a b^m, sufficiently large to house a troop ot about 30 city boys. The Lone Scout or the farmer gets together with the City Troop and arrangements are made to house the boys in the barn for a couple of weeks. The city boys pro- vide Items which must be purchased, such as sugar, tea, cocoa, canned goods, jam, etc., and the farm provides garden produce, eggs, milk, fruit, poul- try and perhaps meat. The Scouts arrange to pay the farm- er at the rate of say two dollars a week per boy for this produce, and for the use ot the bam, and two dollars each per week from 30 boys would be a w6lcom.9 addition to any farmer's exchequer these days. At the same time It would greatly reduce the ex- pense of operating a camp, as the Troop would not have to pay for hire ot tents, etc. What do you think ot that idea? If any Lonia or Farmer would like to house a troop this summer under the above conditions, we would be happy to arrange to put you in touch with the Scoutmaster ot an interested city troop. All you have to do is to write to "Lone B." at the address given at the end of this column. St. George? The Suuda.v-school teacher was teii- in,j her class of boys the legendary story of St. George.

How Mafeking Solved its Currency Problem The recent auctioning of a Mafekinj script shilling at a Toronto Scout tuai campaign dinner recalls with new in terest the way In which Colonel Baden Powell, the resourceful defender o< Mafeking during its siege in 1900 solved the problem of the town'* cur rency shortage. The later originatoi ot the Boy Scouts had printed an4 signed by his army paymaster a vouch er "good for the sum of Is." and hack.- ed by the promise to exchange it toi coin "on the resumption of the civil law." At the top ot the voucher ap peared the Lion and X'nicor& ot ih« British coat of a.'ms. The voucher sold in Toronto reads: "January, 1890. No. A 3266. Issued by the authority ot Colonel R.S.3. Baden-Powell (Commanding the Rho deslan forces). This voucher is goo4 for the sum of Is. and will be ex- changed for coin at the Mafeklai Branch of the Standard Bank, on th* resumption of civil law. (Signed^ H. Greener, Capt., Paymaster." It will be seen by the abore para- graph that the issue of 'Script" money by various persons in the United States, recently, was not a new Idea by any means. Scouts Fight Smallpox With Song Carol singng against smallpox was the unusual public service rendered by Scouts of Lahore, India. Soma seven or eight hundred people had died ot the disease, and Sir Geoffrey de Montmorency, Governor ot tha Pun- Jab, called upon the Boy Scouta to aid in a vaccination campaign. Durlni Christmas week and until January 1 Scout carol parties covered every seo tlon ot the city singing songs against smallpox and uncleanliness, and ad- vising vaccination. As a result many thousands ot men. women and chili ren came to the vaccination posts, and substantial progress was made in thi flght against the dread disease. To be a full-fledged Boy Scout, under the Lone Scout Plan, coats only 50« per year, and even this small sum is returned to you in the form ot badges, text books, etc., several times over.
