WOMEN’'S FEATURES. Differ Widely in Consi * —— Sirups Personality Revealed in Handwriting Illegible Scribbling May Be Caused by Carelessness. BY ANGELO PATRL VWWRITING is intended to be rud.i otherwise, why write? 1 get lel,~‘ ters from people who have been through the schools and universities and the bigger school of the world and 1 have to lay them aside until 1 have | Jeisure time to decipher them. That | is too bad. The reply must be d:-| layed and time must be wasted be- cause some one did not take the trou- ble, was not polite enough to take the trouble to write his message clearly. Children should be taught to avoid this discourtesy and waste. There was a time when all writing. | all records, were written by hand, and how beautifully clear those records are. They were important and me[ clerks who inscribed them gave their | best efforts to the work. People prided themselves on writing a good hand. If one wrote & poor hand the implica- tion was that he was unlettered, an ignorant sort of person. With the increase of business and the introduction of machines speed was demanded. Many people thought that speed excused fllegibility and scribbled. Others turned to the type- writer and contented themselves with signing their names so that nobody could possibly make out whose signa- ture was at the foot of the letter. 1 think that children ought to be taught to write so that anybody can read what they write. 1 think they ought to be taught to write beauti- fully, if it is possible for them to do so. 1 see no need for speed. All that is needed 1s clearness, readability. Children should be taught to write their names as beautifully as possible. ‘Their signature stands for their per- #sonality. If it 18 a messy scrawl it reflects upon the child. Handwriting indicates a host of qualities hidden in the personality of the writer. If he is sure, accurate, well-controlled. the writing shows it. If he is uncertain, wobbly, afraid, sick, happy, hopeful, positive, his writing shows it. Penmanship teachers should look carefully at written work, not to find | the errors, but to find what is behind ' the errors, and adjust whatever is necessary. Handwriting is not a simple matter of will. It is the re- sult of the sum of a personality which is controlled by the power of the co- ordinated muscles and nerves of the bodv.

HE Bureau of Home Economles | of the United States Depart- | k | ment of Agriculture takes up the subject of sirups today, and goes into the matter quile ex- austively. | 1 America is essentially a Nation of | sirup lovers. In every pantry there is bound to be a ¥ bottle of some | kind of “sweet- enin'"” — either for cooking pur- A ; poses, or for ta- | ble use. What | | many housewives | do not realize, o | however, is that there are many types and kinds 1 of sirup, and that | each one has a distinct place in | the well-run g Cammen. | kitchen. There is a vast difference in flavor and con- sistency and also in the food value. Considered geographically, there are the sugar cane products of the “deep South’—cane sirup, molasses and re- finers’ sirup; in the sorghum belt, which reaches northward from the sugar cane belt, sorgo or sorghum sirup; In New England and other Northern States, maple sirup. Corn sirup, naturally, comes from the corn belt of the Middle West. Then there is plain sugar sirup, made of ordinary sugar and water, and, of course. honey. LR CANE sirup is made, and mostly used, in the region where the * sugar cane grows. There everv house- hold has its cane sirup, either made on the farm itself, or bought from a local store. It is made by pressing out the julce fro the sugar cane and boillng it down to sirup consist- ency. This contains all the food | values of the sugar cane juice. most important of which are calcium and iron. | Molasses and refiners’ sirup are by- products of the commercial sugar- cane manufacturing process They are sold all over the countrv. When the raw sugar is crystallized out of the sugar cane juice. “mother liquid” is lefi. Concentrated and clarified. this becomes molasses, /as we know it. of which there are different grades according to the amount of sugar re- moved. Cooking molasses differs from table molasses. in that it is less sweet ‘Blackstrap™ is the lowest grade and has very little sugar. Any molasses, however, contains sll the food values of the cane juice and is rich in iron and calcium. Molasses is important in cooking—especially in the making of cakes and candies—because of the 1Ax- ture and flavor it gives. It is used in Indian pudding. in baked beans. and in many dark breads. As it contains acid, soda should be used with it in Dorothy Children Do Not Con Sirup Long Before. making bread and cakes. The gas thus produced acts as & leavening sgent. * o ox o RlFlNER.S‘ sirup is the liquid left from the refining of the raw cane sugar into white sugar. It is often used in mixtures with other sirups. and is sold under various trade names. Farmers grow sweel sorghum cane and make sorgo sirup from it. The sorgo food values age & bit higher than the sugar cane sirup values. More than 13 million gallons of sorgo sirup were made in this country last year, and this year there will doubtless be more, as the sorghum crop is bigger. Sorgo is a table sirup, dark, thick and strong, and it is used just as mo- lasses is. Sugar maple trees yield the sap that makes the only native American | sirup—sugar cane and sorghum hav- ign been brought o this country from the other side of the world. When the first setilers landed on these shores, the Indians had been making maple sirup for generations. The mdple flavor is considered by many o be the finest flavor in the world, and maple sirup and maple sugar are used in cakes, puddings, ive creams and candies, as well as in the traditional manner with waffies and pancakes. Sugar is its chief food value. o oxox ], FTTLE more than 2,000.000 gallons “ of raple sirup were made in this country last year—that is about the aversge yield. For this reason. and because of the wide demand, maple sirup is often diluted for market. This cilution consisis of mixing sugar sirup or corn sirup with the maple juice— but no mixed sirup mav legally be sold as “maple.” This label 1= allowed only on sirup made by evaporating maple sap or by dissolving maple sugar in water. Imitations must bear the Iabels “imitation” and “artificially fla cored and colored.” Sugar sirup. which is used commer- ciallv in mixtures, is made by dis- solving sugar in water and boifling it down 1o sirup thickness. It is usually made at home from brown or white sugar o serve with pancakes or to sweeten drinks. Corn sirup ic in & class by itself — both in the kinds of sugar it contains B in the purposes it serves. In the cane products the sugar is usually chemically, sucrose, wher , In corn sirup the sugar is chiefly glucose and malitose. This sirup is most useful in making soft candies and frosting for cakes, bacause the glucose keeps the mixture from crystallizing too much— that is. “turning Lo sugar.” We dealt with honey last Monday— and left little more o be said.

There are children who are little chatter- boxes, who love the sound of their own voices and who babble about ! everything they think and see and hear, while other children are reticent and quiet. Talking is always difficuit to them and they Instinctively hide what they think and feel in the inner recesses of their souls. e ox % ’]‘HE main reason, however, that children do not confide In their Among the shoe treasures are three mothers, as their mothers so ardently | desire them to do, is because they so | often find out that mother isn't to be She doesn’t with a confidence. | | When little Johnny confides to mother that it was he and not the cat who ate the cookles, or that he broke a neighbor’s window with his ball, mother punishes him for it. Hence | little Johnny, not being a moron, soon | adopts the cynical theory that whu} mother doesn’t know doesn't hurt her and he ceases to supply her with lhe‘ Information that is his undoing. 1 And another reason that children are not confidential with their moth- | ers is because mothers don't respect their confidences, From bitter ex- | | perience they find out that mother ls a tattletale. She tells father and | grandma and the aunts and all the | formidable company of grown-ups the | | artless tale that Johnny has told her | | In deepest secrecy and they tease him | : about it.

Every time the ielephone rings Mother listens in and has to be told about who called and whnat they said. Every time a letter comes she has to know whom it is from and what he or she said and, likely as not, if it is left around, she reads it Some moth- ers even open their children's letters and read them first. The children stand this as long as they can and then they get up and leave and go to some place where thev |can have a little peace and privacy ! and the blessed privilege of doing what they want to do without any questions being asked about it.
