Because of this many people have believed that flowers and plants are dangerous in one's bedroom at night. The truth is, however, that the amount of oxygen absorbed by a plant is so small that no possible harm could result. Likewise, the carbon dioxide given off is negligible.

SNAPSHOT GUIL PICTURING OUTINGS SUMMER picnics and outings are fun--and the fun can last. If you bring back a collection of snapshots that really tells the story of the day's activities. Getting such snapshots Isn't difficult when you keep your eyes open for incidents and details that truly explain the "what, where, and how" of the picnic. Don't bother with stiff, posed group snapshots. Make "story" pictures. Get a shot of someone coming down the steps with a heavy picnic hamper . .. putting it in the car .. . a picture through the windshield shpwing the picnic grove as you |&r» rive. Snap a series of shots which ehow the spreading of the cloth ..; the setting out of pickles, cake, and sandwiches ... cutting the cake ... "close-ups" of individuals munching away... sports or games after lunch ... the girl friend getting her skirt •. caught on a barbed-wire fence. If the ; picnic lasts into the evening, take a • time exposure of the group gathered : around the campflre, singing or telliing stories. They'll have to hold still ifor this one, and the camera must be j firmly supported on a handy post or ; table--but it's a worth-while picture. 1 When you make a series of "story- ! telling" snapshots along this line, | you have something that gives lar (more satisfaction thtfn a few scattefed, random snapshots. And It's no trouble. Most of the pictures you can ? capture when your subjects are "off* guard"--not even aware a picture is being taken. Other pictures may require a little posing, but as long as you make the picture show some incident, something going on, it won't have that stiff, "posey" looker Try making a series of related, "story-telling" snapshots oa your next picnic or holiday outing. Youll quickly decide that's the way all your pictures will be taken on such occasions" in the future. John van Guilder •MY DEAR CHILDREN" AT SELWYN THEATRE On Mondays evening, July 8, John Barrymore marked-up his 100th performance in "My Dear Children," now playing at the Selwyn Theatre, Chicago. This being Mr. Barrymore's first stage appearance in over fifteen years, the reception accorded him on his return to his "first love," has been most gratifying, particularly the Chicago engagement, where it has been enthusiastically received for nine weeks. The authors of "My Dear Children,"* Catherine Turney and Jerry Horwin, have written a farce comedy containing everything Mr. Barrymore could possibly wish for. Surrounded by his three daughters and his mistress--all getting in each other's hair--and three men, none ot whom is quite sure which of the girls he wants, Mr. Barrymore, as Allan Manville, a middle-aged Shakespearean actor, has the enviable job o» starting nearly all the complications, and then later of trying to solve them. His greater gift for starting them than solving them merely adds to the hilarity and confusion of the wildest evening the Chicago stage has seen in several years. The pla£ was written, and staged, and is being played by Mr. Barrymore and his entire company, with just one thing in mind, that of supplying the audience with an evening of merriment. For those who like to atend the theatre for the purpose of forgetting their troubles, "My Dear Children" should be the show. The supporting cast is just about perfect. Doris Dudley, Lois Hall and Dorothy McGuire run nip and tuck for ftrst honors among the comeTy, highspirited daughters. Tala Birell, of movie fame, gives a realistic performance of the Countess de Britonn», while Philip Reed and Stiano Brag, giotti, also of Hollywood, give outstanding performances. Others in the cast include Lloyd Gough, Arnold Korff, Otto Hewlett, George Reynolds, and Ralph Macbane. "My Dear Children" is being presented by Richard Aldrich and Richard Myers, who have given it a beautiful production, designed by Donald Oenslager and dinected by Otto Premier. Performances are gtven £very evening, except Sunday, with matiifees Farm Bureau News "• - ' FARMER, CONSUMER AND INDUSTRY A®* CLOSELY LINKED Every afoee the American colonies became a nation, the American wheat industry has been a leading contributor to the world's bread basket, it is explained by John H. Brock, Farm Adviser, in pointing out the importance of wheat to fanners, consumers and industry. In only four years since the Constitution was signed in 1787 has the United States been a net importer of wheat, he said. As the nation's agriculture developed and the world demand for American wheat increased, wheat growing became a specialized kind of farming, just as many kinds of business and industry have become specialized. "Thus, as wheat farming became a commercialized farming industry, Told Items ef lutes eel Takaa From the VVse ef tfc*! sf Tmh §WBNTY YEARS AGO Our business men report the biggest business ever experienced.

"This interdependence has continued and will continue as time goes on.. "The city takes farm goods to Saturday clothe and feed the laborer, his family and the many other people who live there and also to provide many raw materials without much industry, could not exist or the distribution of goods continue. "If this were the whole picture, then it might be imagined that the cheaper the city could get farm goods, the better off city industry and city labor would be. Opinions differ widely as to whether this might be true if all kinds of business, as well as farming, were organized on a free competitive basis. However, experience has definl itely proved that there is a rather definite point beyond which the growing of wheat and the production of other bksic commodities is national waste, bringing ruin and bankruptcy to thousands of farmers and other producers, "Repeatedly, especially since the World War, there have been times when farm goods have been so plentiful and cheap that farmers could not continue to grow them without 'going broke.'

Emphasis of the dependency of city business on farm income can easily be seen from a study of this report. Because of the lowered cash income farmers attempted to meet this disparity by purchasing $722 less feed and other needed farm supplies. Even with these reduced purchases the accounting farms had $712 less to spend in 1938,. than 1937. From the cash balance of $1510 per accounting farm would have to be deducted family living expenses, insurance and interest and principal payments on farm indebtedness.

Serve Baked Fish For a Quick Meal Use Fillet* With Plent# *7- Of Butter in Stuffing i-xT#-"!- ^ J By EDITH M. BARBEB DAKED stuffed fish for a quick •*-* meal? Yes, indeed, it is possible, if you use fish fillets which may be rolled and fastened with toothpicks and the centers stuffed before baking. Stuffing seems to belong with fish as well as with poultry. While we usually associate it with a large fish, you will like it with fillets and with small pickerel or perch, which may be suitable for a small family. For fisH stuffing, I like to use plenty of butter, parsley and lemon juice besides the salt and pepper. I generally omit onion, although if you are a devotee of this particular flavor, you may use it discreetly. Chopped pickle is another good addition. One of the easiest and best ways to prepare fish is by what is known as the Spencer method. For this the fish fillets are dipped in milk, then in fine crumbs or rolled cornflakes and sprinkled with oil or melted butter before baking in a hot Oven for 10 minutes. Of course, fish may be broiled very quickly and nothing is better if it is dipped in well-seasoned salad oil before it is put under the broiling flame. The oil will keep it moist and tender. While the flavor of panfried fish is delicious, fillets do not keep in shape so well as when they are baked or broiled, or fried in deep fat. A tartare sauce is often served with broiled or fried fish, while a thinner sauce is generally chosen for baked fish. The latter is flavored often piquantly with lemon juice or made with a tomato base. Baked Stuffed Fillets. 2Vi cups soft bread crumbs 1 teaspoon salt Pepper • • V* cup melted butter 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. 2 pounds fish fillets Mix bread crumbs with salt, pepper, butter, lemon juice and parsley. Shape fillets into rings, secure with toothpicks and arrange on a greased baking pan. Fill centers with stuffing, piling it high in centers. Brush fish with salad oil and bake in a hot oven 15 to 20 minutes until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Baked Fish Spencer. Dip fish fillets in salted milk, usiing one tablespoon of salt for each cup of milk. Dip into fine dried bread crumbs or corn flake crumbs. Arrange on well oiled baking sheet and sprinkle liberally with oil. Bake in a very hot oven (500 degrees Fahrenheit) for about ten minutes. Codfish Balls. 4 to 5 medium sized potatoes I cup pickled salt cod - 1 tablespoon melted butter Pepper 1 egg Pare and slice potatoes. Put cod in a strainer and rinse with boiling water. Cook cod and potatoes in boiling water until potatoes are tender. Drain, mash potatoes and shred codfish. Mix together, add butter, egg and pepper and beat until light. Drop by tablespoonfuls into very hot fat (385 degrees Fahrenheit) and co&k until light brown. Cook a few at a time. Drain on soft paper.

Drain, dredge well with flour and pepper. Arrange on a greased pan and half cover with rich milk. Bake in a moderately hot oven (400 degrees Fahrenheit) about 10 minutes, until fish is tender.
