Family organization is suggested as one means of stopping what may be serious fires. Each of the older members of the family is given a specific duty to perform in case of an emergency. All members of the family should know certain facts about combating fires. Being prepared for flye also means having equipment available. Navy's Army • U. S.

Nobody ^teard Bessie sigh. Nobody knew how starved she was for love, for Bessie had passed the sunny side of twenty-five without the faintest glimmer of romance. The only men she knew had either mai* ried her friends, or were gangling, youths 'who treated her with a terrifying veneration. Keenly she fell the tragedy of being an old maid; All the talk about bachelor maid* with independent careers she saw through as pitiful alibi. She wanted a husband. Gingerly she loaded her roadster with succulent apple pies. It waa * ticklish piece of business not to inr jure those six crispy crusts. 7 ^ "You'd, orta deliver 'em three to a time," her mother suggested. ; "Oh, I'll manage," Bessie said. Little did she realize that that de^ cision would change her whole life. But the country road was roughi She wished she could leave the pies for the North end of Main street somewhere while she distributed the other three to the South end. Then she saw the Jiffy garage at the Corners. Bessie drove in. "Would you mind," she asked the pleasant looking mechanic, "if I left a few pies here just for half an hour or so? I'm afraid they won't be fit to sell, time I've bumped 'em down to the Birches." ftere's another English story you'll like.

My favorite kind." He grinned as Bessie drove away. "Don't forget to cbme back or I can't promise what might happen." "I won't forget," smiled Bessie, wondering who this new rrian was. Nice manners, too. She would drive out here again for gas. "I want this to be our most successful food sale." In less than an hour she was back. No one was in sight, nor were her three golden brown apple mes reposing on the truck scat. "He's gone away and some one has stolen them!" Bessie honked her horn. The mechanic came crawling from beneath a huge limousine. His reddish hair was awry, his overalls and hands and nose were too wellgreased, but he still grinned. He had fine teeth, she saw, almost as fine as hers. "Oh, it's you! You've come after your pies. moment." "I'm sorry you had to move them. I'm afraid I've been a bother. Where did you put them?" "Well," he laughed, handing her an empty tin, "I put one of 'em inside of me, and it was so larrupin* good I'm aimin' to do the same by the others. You said they were for sale. How much are they?" Bessie took the pie plate. "You have eaten one of the large pies. That will cost you fifty cents, mister--" "Barnes. Jimmy Barnes." "Mr. Barnes. The smaller pies are thirty-five each, but they've been promised to Sally Knight and Mrs», Kenneth Wheeler." "I don't care if they've been promised to the President's wife, I want those pies. I'll--why, I'll pay you a bonus--fifty cents per. You can't imagine how good a little home cooking tastes to a man who's lived in boarding houses and restaurants all his life."

Grates Require Attention Tfie importance of careful firing Hi* prolong the life of grates is emphasized. The first and most important point in the care of grates i* the frequent removal of the ashes in •the ash pit. The ash pit is a storage chamber for air, not ashes. Aft is necessary for the combustion of any fuel. Unless there is sufficie&it air below the grate bars to cool them, they will burn or warp. Failure to remove the ashes as often aa necessary causes a wasteful fire as well as warped or burned grates. Another important point in the care of grates is to prevent the forma-, tion of clinkers which are likely |p"- todge in the grates.
