"B—14 WOMEN’ 8 FEATURES. From Every Direction All Over the Country They Come to Market Certain Varieties Lend Themselves Best to Cooking Purposes, While Others Hold First Place for Table Use. BY BETSY CASWELL. CCORDING to statistics pub- lished by the Bureau of Home | Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture, there are encugh apples grown eve year in this country to provide each| man, woman and child with more than | & bushel a year! Of course, farms have al- Wways grown ap- ples for home consumption, but for the great hordes of city iwellers, \the big commercial apple crop has been 3 developed and expanded to an amazing degree [ during the past | decade or s0. As a matter of fact, the Amer- ican apple indus- try began in Western NewsYork about the middle of the last century. The| biggest producing region nowadays | is in the Pacific Coast and Western Mountain States, with the State of| Washington growing one-fifth of the | entire crop! Along the North Atlantic | seaboard, New York is still the leader, | and, by producing one-eighth of lhei whole United States crop, runs second only to Washington. The South Atlantic States, com- prising the Potomac-Cumberland- Shenandoah, with Virginia leading, come third. In the North Central| States, Michigan, Ohio and Iilinois are the leaders, and in the South Central States Kentucky, Tennessee| and Arkansas line up neck and neck in the production race. * Kk XK K 17 OWEVER, all this is mostly tech- nical, for in the general apple srade the fruit is usually classed | simply as “Westerns” and “Easterns. Western apples, from the Pacific and Mountain States, also called “hox apples,” are shipped all over the country in boxes containing on an average a bushel at a time. Each apple is carefully wrapped in oiled paper, and the fruit is perfection it- gelf. The leading “Westerns” are Winesaps, Jonathans, Delicious, Yel- low Newtowns, Rome Beauties and Gravensteins, “Easterns” may come from any- where east of the State of Colorado, and are shipped chiefly to Central and Eastern markets in bushel baskets and in barrels. New England, how- ever, has recently adopted the box | system for shipping, and packs the | apples in shredded oiled paper, as| added protection against scald, an apple disease, and against bruises. Baldwin, McIntosh, Rhode Island Greening and Stayman Winesap are “tops” from the North Atlantic region, while Northern Spy, Jonathan, Delicious and Winesap hail from the North Central States. York Imperial, Grimes Golden, Stayman Winesap and Ben Davis are the most noted varieties shipped in from the Poto- mac-Cumberland-Shenandoah region, and from the South Central States. G o ki APPLES are graded for the who!e-, sale concerns according to their freedom from blemishes and other de- fects and, amusingly enough, for the amount of color in the red varieties. (Apparently an anemic apple hasn't| @ chance, these days!) Department of Agriculture standards are in general use, except in the Western States, where the ‘States themselves have set up their own standards and gradings for boxed apples. The containers are usually stamped with the grade, size and variety of the apple they hold. The quality of the apple depends not only on how it is grown, but also on how it is handled after it leaves the tree and starts on its long and complicated journey from producer to consumer. Certain varieties, of course, are best for table use, others for cooking—and, in this latter class, some apples are better for cooking in certain ways than are others. In general, all apples should be cooked with as little water as possible and not too long, with rather mild sea- soning. Betsy Caswell | “cream cheese For stewed apples use fruit that holds its shape well and will not be- come soft and “mushy.” For apple- sauce, on the other hand, an apple that cooks up quickly is to be desired. The best way to make applesauce, incidentally, is to add very little water to the apples and steam them in a covered pan for a very short time. This prevents them from turning dark. Sweeten the sauce after it is cooked but while it is still hot and add a few grains of salt. Sometimes a little cinnamon makes the sauce tastier, especially if it is intended for dessert | for use in making applesauce tarts. * ok k¥ APPLES for baking should be of the firmer variety. Core them | without cutting through the blossom end and put them in a pan with just enough water to keep them from sticking. Fill the center cavities with butter, sugar (brown sugar gives them a delicious flavor) and a few raisins if desired. The juice that cooks out of Winesaps or Jonathans will form a beautiful clear red jelly around the apple when it cools. For apple pie use a deep pie pan and spread the apples in layers on the unbaked pastry, sprinkling each layer with sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and a little lemon juice. Re- member the apple slices shrink when heated, so pile them high and dot well with butter before putting the cover on the pie. Bake until apples are done and pastry is a golden brown. Serve with wedges of young Amer- ican cheese. And win the unqualified approval and applause of your entire family!

BY ANGELO PATRL N INDIGNANT mother writes me a long letter, in which there is this paragraph: “On his report card the teacher writes in the space for character traits, ‘Bad manners.” Now what I want to know is this: Has| anybody a right to reflect on a child's character because of bad manners? I'll admit that my son has bad man- ners, but I won't admit that he has a poor character.” It is hard to tell where manners leave off and character begins. It seems to me they just shade one into the cther. Manners are habits, and habits are what make character. That is why the teacher made a note of the child’s progress in good form, under the item “character.” They both mean pretty much the same thing. The bad-mannered boy is in danger. It's the law of mental growth that what you think you are, and what you do, you become, Manners are ways of doing things. They are ways of living. They are cushions that soften the shocks of the rough and tumble of daily life. In other words, they are the rules we have set up for orderly living. The one who disregards the rules is out of the game. Nobody will play with him. The doors to pleasant places are shut to him, The people with whom he needs to associate refuse to have anything to do with him. , It is natural to be selfish. Each of us wants his full share and more of the good things of life, and as little as possible of the bad ones. It re- quires self-control and a gracious spirit to forbear and permit our neighbor to have his share of happiness. Isn’t this mother protesting because the teacher does not indorse her boy, does not approve of him? Why is she worried? Not because the teach- er's word on a report card is so im- portant, but because the disapproval is a sign of danger, a sign of weak- ness in the child’s make-up. If that be true, it will not help her boy to succeed. When she protests she ad- mits her boy cannot afford to be bad- mannered. ‘Why not follow the rules? It is po- lite to let another person finish what he is saying before speaking in reply. It is polite to listen quietly with in- terest and not to interrupt. It is po- lite to return thanks for a favor that is shown you. It is proper that chil- dren never speak first to an older person. .They wait to be spoken to and then they reply promptly and as best they can. It is good manners to speak in gentle tones no matter what provocation there is to shout. Shout- ing at another person is an affront. It's like a slap in the face, unpardon- able. None of us.tell all we know or say or do all we wish to do. We are too polite, too considerate, too con- fused, too much afraid to do so. We must be screened.

There are, of as higher forward-thrust Hash Keeps Place With Favorites More Than an Excuse For Making Use of Leftovers. BY EDITH M. BARBER. HASH theoretically has a bad name. The jokers indict it as a means of using up unsavory leftovers. The truth, however, is that hash is one of our favorite American dishes. The most famous member of the hash family is from the corned beef branch, but almost as popular are the lamb and the roast beef hashes. Less pop- ular, but highly regarded, is chicken hash, usually to be found at the tables of thé most expensive restaurants. The business woman housekeeper may use canned corned beef if she has no leftover meats. And let me note for her benefit that there is & very good ready-to-use canned hash to be found at every grocery. CORNED BEEF HASH. 2 cups chopped corned beef. 2 cups chopped boiled potatoes. 1 tablespoon minced onion. 2 tablespoons fat. Salt, pepper. The beef and potatoes, should be chopped fine, but not minced. Melt the fat in & heavy frying pan, add the other ingredients and stir over the fire until thoroughly mixed. Press the mixture down in the pan until it holds together and cook over a low fire until brown underneath. Shake occasionally to prevent sticking. Fold like an omelet and turn out on hot platter. Poached eggs may be served around the hash. ROAST BEEF HASH. 2 cups cooked, chopped roast beef. 2 cups chopped boiled potatoes. 1 onion, minced. 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. 2 tablespoons chopped green pepper. Salt, pepper. Combine the beef and potatoes and the seasoning.- Moisten with milk or cream if desired. Put in a hot but- tered frying pan, stir until well mixed, then place over a low heat so that it may brown slowly. Turn and fold crowns, (Copyrisht. 1938.) | course, certain definite tendencies of | the season that we may look for, such | |brims. pillbox and cone toques and | feather trimmings. These are present | in every hat collection in varied forms. l Even the tailored hat for “going the | rounds” is now being shown in a | smart new design with Tyrolean crown that mounts to unusual height | for the tailored hat. This newest New | York success is shown in the photo- ! graph above, with a heavy silk cord at the base of the crown and around the brim. It is very smart in black and also comes in a slightly modified design without the corded brim. It may be secured in any desired color and in several sizes. As shown in the sketch at the side. the hat is black, topping a suit of Kent green trimmed in Persian. * ok K x 'HE turban has many interpre- tations for Winter and is a much- ‘avored hat style. Among those that model in black felt, fitting the head closely, without draping, topped at its peak by a round biscuit of Persian and covered with a fine mesh veil that just being whisked by us on its way to a customer. A toque in cone shape is made of many tiny strips of black felt converging at the top, where two little mink tails complete its fasci- nating youthfulness. B The Russian Cossacks have fur- nished inspiration for many of the season’s fashions, among them the suede hat with bright metal pin trim, and, best of all, the fur turban. This turban with cloth top is completely encircled with a wide band of fur very carefully shaped to insure a and finished with a jeweled ornament at the front. These hats are made to fit the individual head, and also to match individual costumes as to color of cloth for the top and kind of fur used for the band. They vary in price according to the materials used, Eastern mink on brown cloth being one of the outstanding presenta- tions. These hats are among the exclusive designs shown by a local shop for those who do not have to count the pennies too closely when assembling a really smart outfit. How- ever, you will find a suggestion here for the use of a small piece of hand- some fur that you may have laid away, which might be utilized by the shop and somewhat lessen the cost of the hat, * ok ok X 'NTER the Ethiopian idea in head- gear. It is only natural to ex- pect to find the softly draped head covering of the African rulers ap- pearing as a suitable cocktail and dinner turban in black velvet. Set well back on the head with clever draping at the immediate front, fin- ished with a backward sweeping black egret, it is the last word in smart millinery modes of the mo- ment. A true Selassie turban, also of draped black velvet, has two folds of the velvet pleated at the back left hanging to shoulder length. As seen from ‘the side this makes a stunning frame for a classic profile. For information concerning items mentioned in this column call Na- tional 5000, extension 342, between 10 and 12 am.

Use Theater Make-Up on Special Days Halloween and Other Festivities Provide Such Occasions. BY ELSIE PIERCE. I'.\I AFRAID some readers will me of being inconsistent. I've so often said: “Avoid the bizarre, the | theatrical in your make-up.” I still emphasize that warning. But it ap-| plies to your daily make-up, of course. There ¢omes a few occasions in every | woman'’s life when she has an oppor- tunity to use the same cosmetics that her favorite screen and stage stars do. For private theatricals, for amateur plays, gala evening occasions, mas- | querade parties (Halloween is not far off), professional or amateur photog-‘l raphy. | One of the most famous interna- | tional cosmeticians, one whose name has long been associated with the ultimate in beauty aids, offers a new line of theatrical make-un which is | a thing apart from the regular, nat- | ural line of rouge, powder, general | make-up aids that every smart woman | should use every day. This enchanting make-up is a complete departure from ordinary | heavy greasepaint; it is waterproof | (comes with a special remover); it is perspiration-proof, light and heat | proof. Properly applied, it clings for | hours without the necessity of re- | newal. It is claimed that this make- up, far from being in any way harm- | ful to the skin, is so pure that plastic surgeons often use it directly over open wounds, it does not clog the | pores. It conceals freckles very ef- fectively. There's a pencil (indelible) for outlining the lips, a “liner” for eye make-up. “Camouflage” Glorified. And the fascinating things one can do to camouflage defects. A slightly darker foundation to tone down a too-square jaw or chin, nose or too prominent forehead. A lighter founda- tion to conceal small surface lines or wrinkles, to hide puffs under the eyes. Talking about the eyes, you can do things to make them talk elo- quently; & touch of red on the lids (in the evening) will take away that tired look; a little white eyeshadow of a very light, creamy consistency brushed lightly along the inside edge of the lower lid will make the eyes seem larger. You even outline the inside of the nostrils with rouge (very lightly) to give an animated look for evening. Who would ever think of that! And you lay a pencil behind the lashes and brush them over it to curl them up, using mascara, of course, and brushing from roots to tips of lashes. The lips! You outline them with a somewhat rounded, instead of a sharp,’ obviously cupid’s bow line, using the indelible red make-up pen- accuse | moist rouge, painting it on with a lip brush. Lipstick is always applied well inside the mouth to avoid & sharp “lipline.” WOMEN’'S FEATURES, For Each Man, Woman and Child—One Bushel of Apples Every Year! Shopping Around the Millinery Salons in Washington Dorothy Dix Says In These Days of Crime, Pity the Millionaire Baby! E WERE discussing & mil- lionaire baby who had just‘ been born not only with the | proverbial golden spoon ‘n his mouth, but with a complete din- ner service. Almost every one said: “Isn’t he the lucky kid?” But is he? It seems not to me, and that no one need envy this baby. No greater misfortune can befall a young- ster than to be born to great wealth, and no children are more to be pitied than the poor little millionaires. It is good fortune, of course, for a child to have parents in comfortable circum- stances who can give it a good home, good food and a good education, but beyond that money is a curse to a child and not a blessing. For the things that a child most needs are the things that not only does money no‘ buy but that the very rich are debarred from purchasing for their children. The first of these is a free child- héoc. In these times of kidnaping every rich child is virtually born in prison and he never knows a single hour of personal liberty. Every min- ute of his life he is watched over by" armed guards and he is just as much | under surveillance as if he were a des- perate criminal, He grows up in an | atmosphere of fear and distrust that kills everything that is spontaneous and sweet and optimistic in his breast. He is shut off from the natural pleas- ures of childhood. He can’t go off on | hikes with other boys, or play hookey | or hunt birds’ nests, or do any of the other things that children enjoy doing home. He has to have his bodyguard with him. There is too much danger | of snatchers. * Xk x Xx NCE I was in a store when one of | these poor little prisoners of wealth came in, flanked on either side | by a husky with a pistol bulging in | his coat. The lad bought a 10-cent | toy and went out with his keepers, and I thought that the poorest little newsboy who darted in and out among the automobiles on the street or the humblest child who made mud pies in the gutter knew more of the hap- piness of childhood than the little millionaire would ever know. ‘Then the rich child seld>m has a father and mother except in a tech- nical sense. This is not always the parents’ fault. Great wealth brings great obligations, and it is virtually impossible for millionaires to be do- mestic and give their children the personal care and attention that poor people can bestow upon their young- sters. | The poor rich little boy does not even have a home. He is dragged from palaces in one part of the world to palaces in another, but he doesn't live in one place long enough to strike down roots and grow into his environ- ment. He rarely has even a mother. | He is turned over to nurses and gov- ernesses and tutors, who bring him up by hand and not by heart, and all that he knows of his father is a busy man who chucks him under the chin now and then and asks him how he is get- | ting along. And about the closest contact he makes with his mother is when she comes to the nursery to kiss him good night as she is starting out | to some function. NOW you can't set a price upon a | real father and mother. No| amount of money compensates for not My Neighbor Says: Spots and rings left on’ cloth- ing when stains have been re- moved will soon disappear if stained parts are held over steam from a tea kettle.

The greatest happiness in the world comes from family life and family love, but it is something that the very rich seldom experience, Then the millionaire children are cut off from what is the keenest pleas- ure in existence, and that is the sa- cred joy of achievement. Standing on your own feet. Making your own fortune. Being some one yourself in- stead of somebody's son. Doing things with your own brains instead of in- heriting the work of some other man's brains. Of course, you may say that there is no reason why a rich boy shouldn’t run the race as well as the Nor is there. But he is too heavily handicapped to win unless he possesses a phenomenally strong char- acter. He lacks the spur of necessity to goad him on. He has no incentive to struggle for the things he has al- ready. Somebody once sald to a famous self-made man that he had given hi son every advantage in the world “AllL" replied the old man, “but th greatest advantage of all, and th: poverty.” & % % % N THE end our happiness chiefly depends upon our relationship with others. In having a husband and wife whom we love and who love us, in having loyal and devoted friends who love us for ourselves alone. And the certainty of that is a privilege reserved for the poor. The money-bags of the rich girl and boy make them the prey of for- tune-hunters and gold-diggers and they have hardly a chance to escape being married for their money. So the poorest boy and girl who marry on a shoestring are far more likely to have a happy marriage than any millionaire Furthermore, the rich boy is so beset from the cradle by chiselers and grafters that he loses all power even to believe in friendship. So we might \o\(‘llim'\' instead of envy the poor little millionaire. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyri 1935.)

J, known far and wide throughout the United States as “keeper of the bee: will give interesting details concerning the private life of the bee, as well as explanations of the intricacies of the model hives which he has on display. The steps in the making of honey, and all the wonderful building of cells, feeding of queens with “roval jelly.,” e cipline and life within the hive —such fascinating and instruc- tive matters will make up the greater part of Mr. Axtell's lec- tures. This would appear to be a rare opportunity for Washington children to learn about bees and honey from A to Z, and it is sug- gested that many teachers would do well to arrange for pupils to visit the exhibition.
