VERNONIA EAGLE. VERNONIA. OREGON Inexpensive Buffet Set That's Done in a Jiffy The Walkin' Deputy TX/ALKIN' JOHNNY, though city- ’ ’ bred, had all the earmarks of a good deputy sheriff with but one exception. That he could walk was an accepted fact to everyone in the little cow town of Rawlins, and that he had nerve, he had proved to everyone’s satisfaction when he had captured that gang in the hills, alone and on foot. But when it had come to riding a horse, well, as Johnny told the sher iff: A man can do just so many things with his feet, but a horse—if a horse had any limitations in that ' respect Johnny had failed to find i them. Now it seemed as though every | bad man for miles had made up his mind that Rawlins was the only town in the country worthy of atten tion just then, and a Walkin’ Deputy, as Johnny had come to be called, was of about as much use as taxi This—the newest in crochet—in cabs in Venice.

HCNM> SEW 4-’ Ruth Wyeth Spears Raisin Flavor Observed There May Be Many Reasons for First by the Egyptians Making Quilted Chair Pads. The early Egyptians first discov ered the flavor of raisins. A few scattered bunches of grapes were left on the vines at harvest time. The concentration of grape sugars provided a new fruit. In the First century, Asia Minor became the center of production; by 1300 A. D., Spain and Hungary were chief mar kets, and Greece competed. But in the Twentieth century, America's California, in the San Joaquin val ley, with an average production of over 200,000 tons annually, became the world market. It was early in 1834, writes Kirtley Scott in the Louisville Courier-Jour- nal, that a cargo of raisins was brought around the Horn into Cali fornia from Boston and sold at a high price. It was the inception, this 220-pound shipment of grapes dried on the vine, for a giant in dustry which markets 400,000,000 pounds of a single product. The modern raisin industry began in 1851 when Colonel Agostin Her- nazthy imported some Muscats of Alexandria from Malaga in Spain and planted them on his San Diego ranch. Ten years later, the gover nor of the state sent a commis sion to Europe to select the best varieties of grapes obtainable there Great Variety of Products Taken From Common Salt Out of the salt one uses to flavor his food chemists make a great va riety of products. Among these is a refrigerant used in preserving foods and cleaning solvents which remove dirt, grease and spots from clothing with the greatest of ease. Chlorine is also made from salt. It is widely used to safeguard the purity of water in municipal sys tems and in swimming pools, as well as for bleaching paper and textiles. Another product of salt is sodium peroxide which is used to bleach all kinds of textile fibres, particularly cotton. Sodium perbo rate, which is a beneficial ingredient of tooth powders and mouth washes is also derived from salt. j= A Ml ■ >■ <K1<KKKI> By WARREN GOODRICH C Bell Syndicate. [F ALL the reasons for quilted 1 chair pads were lined up in or der of their importance the most intangible reason of all might head the list. Yes, it is quite likely that any decorator, amateur or professional would place atmos phere at the top. But then it is also possible that first rating might be given to the reason that the pressure of slats across the t^cks of chairs is softened by quilted pads. Then, though it might not be mentioned, it is a known fact that worn out cane seats are sometimes replaced with inexpensive composition seats which may be disguised by gay quilted pads. Chintz, calico or gingham chair pads are in fact one of the sim plest and most inexpensive ways of adding color and charm as well as comfort to a room. Such pads are often used on the backs of chairs and not on the seats, and especially for side chairs, the seat pads used without any back cov ering. In making such small things as these it is quite easy to do the quilting on the machine. Or, if you wish to take the other | point of view about it, the work of | quilting them by hand would not i consume an unreasonable amount of time. There is no doubt that handwork has a certain quaint ness that machine work lacks. The pads shown here are made with one layer of sheet wadding between the two layers of the chintz. The edge bindings and ties are made of bias tape. Cut the three layers of the pad material exactly the size and shape you want them to be when finished. Place the sheet wadding between the two layers of covering mate rial as shown here at A. Either pin or baste in this position, and then quilt as shown here at B. Make the ties by stitching the lengthwise edges of the bias tape together, and then tack them to the corners of the pad as at C be fore it is bound. Now, bind the edges, sewing the ties right in with the binding as shown here at D. Every Homemaker should have a copy of Mrs. Spears’ new book, SEWING.
