They can be found in altitudes ranging between 3,000 and 7,000 feet and in areas where there are no killing frosts; they can stand a continuous low temperature, as long as there are no excessive lows or highs. These trees grow in mixed , forests, especially where the forest floor is rich in humus and possibly acid. The quinines flower abundantly, some of the flowers are borne in lilac-like panicles; they are windpollinated, and all seed capsules of the inflorescence do not mature at one time. Further, the seed do^f not hold its viability long. - Bhip Builders Busy In seven southeastern states, ship construction accounts for 48 per cent of all war supply contracts. ftetovear toolutjCA.5 are made Tote ftrokew Good Breads ' "I want to know how to make good bread," is a desire expressed often by readers who write in and tell me their problems. Some feel making bread is a matter of good luck, while others are certain that if they just had a good recipe, they could make good bread. V .Bread, good bread, is one of/the easiest of all baked goods to make. The yeast bread takes longer for the process to be» completed, but there is nothing hard about any of the steps. Bear in mind these essentials when baking bread with yeast: 1. Liquids used may be water, milk, diluted evaporated milk, potato water or a mixture of any of these. When using milk, scald and cool to lukewarm. 2. Yeast may be compressed, granular or dry. 3. Sugar is used to help yeast make leavening gas. Salt controls fermentation, gives flavor. 4. Add all flour necessary at the time of mixing, to keep dough from sticking, and to avoid dark streaks in bread., 5. Dough is kneaded until smooth and satiny.1 Curve the fingers over dough and push into it with the palms"of the hands. The first kneading is longest--8 to 10 minutes required, never less than 5. After the dough is punched down the second time, only 2 minutes' kneading is necessary. 6. After the dough is kneaded, it is placed in a greased bowl. Turn the dough over in bowl to grease it entirely and prevent a hard crust from forming. Cover dough with a cloth or waxed paper while rising. Temperature at which dough r^ses should be 82 degrees. 7. When punching dough down, punch hands into the center of the dough. 8. When dough has been punched down the second time and risen until double in bulk, and the dough retains dents when pressed lightly, it is ready for molding. Knead down and divide in portions for loaves: Cover and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. To mold dough, flatten into a ball, fold lengthwise, and stretch three times the length of the pan. Overlap ends at center and fold lengthwise; flatten again, fold in thirds; seal edge; roll lightly and place in greased pan, fold down. White Bread.

"Even counting sheep is no good," he sighed to bia partner in the clothing business. "It is" only good if you count up to 10,000," replied his partner. "Try that tonight." But the next morning Mr. Ginsbtlrg was still complaining. "I did not sleep a wink," he said. "I counted the 10,000 sheep, I sheared 'em, combed the wool, had it spun into cloth, made into suits, took ^em to the city, and lost $300 on the deal. I didn't sleep a wink.

Lynn Says: tfememade Breads: Wash the bread box out thoroughly «o the bread yrill stay fresh and moist longer. Every week, the box should have a soapy sudsing, and thorough drying out in the sunshine. Bread sometimes becomes stringy, if a certain germ is allowed to become imbedded in the box through lack of cleanliness. Have freshly baked rolls often, by making a batch of refrigerator dough to have on hand. Then make a variety of rolls from it to add interest to the menu--caramel rolls, cinnamon twists, poppyseed rolls, orange-filled rolls, etc. If homemade bread tends to get that day-old fhivor, freshen the loaves by sprinkling a little water in a brown bag, placing loaf of bread in it, and into the oven for several minutes. Cool to lukewarm, then add yeast, softened in lukewarm water. Add 4 cups of flour and beat thoroughly. Add remaining flour and mix gradually to a dough that won't stick to hands or bowl. Knead lightly on a flcured board 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover closely, and let rise until dptlble 'ifi'Tbulk (2 to 2% hours'). Punch down"and knead" 2 minutes. Let rise again until double in bulk. Knead down. Divide into 4 portions for loaves. Cover and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Mold in loaves. Place in greased pans. Cover closely and let set in a warm place until doubled in bulk and a light touch leaves a dent. Bake in a moderately hot (400 to 425-degrees) oven 40 to 45 minutes. Bread is done when it shrinks from the pan and sounds hollow when tapped with finger. Remove loaves from pans immediately and cool on1 rack. For a crisp crust, neither grease nor cover loaves when cooling. For a soft crust, brush top of loaves with fat or salad oil after removing from oven. •Refrigerator Rolls.

Stir in 3*4 to 4% cups of flour to make a fairly stiff dough. Knead until smooth on a lightly floured surface. Return to greased mixing bowl. Grease top of dough. Cover and chill in refrigerator. About llk hours before serving time, shape desired number of rolls. Place in greased pans; let rise 1 hour. Bake in a hot oven (425 degrees) 15 to 20 minutes.
