Salads, sandwiches, cookies and cakes are four of them. But, if you intend to serve many â- meals in the open air. your menus should vary. a whole summer of cold salads, meats and sandwiches just won't do for a family with growing children. Thermos bottles, casseroles which are air-tight and stay hot, and fireless cookers will be valuable investments if you take picnicking ^riously. Of course, if you are packing a pic- nic ba^et and actually intend going Into the country, cold dishes, sand- wiches and things easy to pack are your best bet. It ia well to have adequate equip- ii!'-:;t. X supply of paper piaf'^s, tin cups, siverware which wont tarnish and targe sheets of oiled paper are a few things you need. If you broil steaks on your picnic, get a wire broil er which sets up over the open Are. Prepare as many things as you can the day before you plan to go. Pota- toes for salad may be boiled the day before. Then, a couple of hours be- fore you are ready to leave, all you'll have to do is to dice them, add the other ingredients, wrap the bowl la oiled paper and pack in the basket. Mixed Vegetable Salad A mixed vegetable salad is a devia- tion from the traditional potato salad always found at picnics. Here's the way to make it: To one cup each of cooked green peas, carrots and string beans, ada three tablespoons each of chopped onions, radishes, celery, green pepper, cucumber and tomato. Mix them light- ly with mayonnaise to which has been added a dash of fresh lemon juice. Ar- range the salad on a bed of hearts of lettuce in a deep bowl, cover the top with oiled paper, tie it on securely and pack in the basket. A Light Soup A good soup and a salad make a nourishing summer meal which is an easy one to get. Use your imagina- tion â€" plus what you have in your ice bos â€" and you can get a wide variety of soups. Potato Soup. â€" Boil two potatoes; put them through the sieve. Then brown one onion in butter. Add one can of soup to these ingredients and season with just salt and pepper and you have a delicious potato soup. Cream of Mushroom. â€" Brown a few mushrooms in butter and thicken a little bit of flour. Add a can of mush- room soup and you have cream of mushroom. Delicious: Veal Rblls Cut some thin slices of veal cutlet into pieces atjout four inches square, and on each lay a thin slice of lean bacon or ham. Sprinkle with a little minced onion, some chopped tomato, salt, pepper, celery salt, and just a pinch of herbs. Roll them up and tie them with cotton. Melt some butter or dripping in a frying-pan. and brown the rolls all over. Let them then stew in the but- ter for about twenty minutes, when you must add a little boiling stock or water. Put on the lid^and let them simmer slowly for half an hour. The gravy should be thickened when they are cooked, and they may be served with spinach. Warming Over Meat In warming over game or any kind of meat in gravy, don't let it boil! Boiling toughens it. Get the gravy to the boiling point, then turn oft your burner and put the meat in just long enough to get it steamiug hot from the gravy. Chicken Pudding There comes a time when the family need a change of pudding or pie for the substantial course of a meal. Here is a good dish to set before them. It is called Chicken Pudding. The pudding is made in the usual way in a basin lined with suet crust. The pie ia a pie-dish which when filled is covered with puff pastry brushed over with egg and baked in the oven. To fill both pudding and pie peel some mushrooms, cut them roughly iu pieces about onj inch square, pu: them in first in a layer, then a deep layer of chicken meat, floured and sea- soned with pepper and salt, and a little chopped parsley; top up with a layer of pickled pork or bacon cut in strips. Pour in some good chicken stock, cover, and either boil or bake accord- ing to whether you are making a pud- ding or pie. In any case boil the pitd- ding for 24 hours at least, and bake the pie for I to IM hours. Oven Temperatures Crisp cookies should be baked in a hot oven. Molasses cookies, which buru easily, require a cool oven of not more than 350 degrees. Baking pow- der biscuits should be put into a mod- erate oven and the heat should not ba increased until they are almost done.

Enclose l-5<: in stamps or coin (coin preferred; wrap it carefully) for each number, and address your order to Wilson Pattern Service. 73 West .\delaide St., Toronto. gestibie. Reduce the heat of the oven when the pastry itself is cooked and you are ready to bake the filling. All egg mixtures, custard, souffles aud puddings, should be baked with the oven at a low temperature. If t'ne heat rises above 350 degrees you will not have good luck with any conco- - tion containing eggs. Charcoal in the Summer During hot weather a little powdered charcoal placed iu a. muslin bag and suspended ia the larder will help to keep the contents fresh. This also prevents foodstuffs which have a pro- nounced flavour from tainting other foods. A pinch of charcoal added to the water iu which cut flowers are kept will help to preserve the blooms. Laundry Hints When pressing white silk goods, use an iron of medium heat. An over-hot iron turns the sUk yellow, makes it stiff and may cause it to crack. Some housewives, experience diffi- culty ia ironing meu's soft collars. They should be ironed first on the right Slide, then on the wrong. To obviate wrinkles on the corners, begin on the outside edge and work towards the band. Add a little gum arable to the water used for damping pleated dresses be- fore ironing. It will then be found that the pleats will stay ia better after ironing. If ironing a garment with bUtto:is on it, place flrst on a thickly-folded towel. The buttons will sink into this soft surface and the spaces between them can be ironed more easily and smoothly. • •••••-♦••••>>»»»>*>>i Sunday School Lesson >•••>•>•»>< Lesson VI. August S.

B.iaz marrie.i Rutn u.ijut B.C. 1173. PLACEâ€" Moab. Bethlehem. Sorrow in the Land of Moab. "Then she arose with her daughters- in-law, that she might return fr<>ni the country of Moah." The heart of the Hebrew widow yearned towards that lovely land from which she had been so long a willing exile for her hus- band's and children's soke.. "For she had heard in the country of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread." The Lord blesses the fields with abundance. Men mi:st do their part, but all their toil is as nothing compared with what is accomplished by the sun and rain aud th« chemical forces of nature. "And she went forth out of tho place where she was." Migrations were easy in those simple days. A bundle easily contained all Naomi's possessions and she was strong enough stiU to make the journey on foot. "And her two daughters-in-law with her." Ruth and OrpaL, as was the custom of the times, accompanied their mother-in-law a part <.f her way home, though expecting to return to Moab. "And they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah."' The region assigned to Judas, the son of Jacob, in which Bethlehem was situ- ated. "And Naomi said unto her two di-.ughters-in-law. Go, return each of you to her mother's house." She bade them go back. She was an c Id woman and penniless; they were young and strong and could support her. But she was not thinking of herself, she was thinking of them. "Jehovr-h deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me." That prayer is always ansv.ered, and for all kind people. The Lord is kind, and loves chose that are kind. "Jehovah grant you that we may find rest." A resting place, an asylum a' a married woman's home was call- ed. "Each of you in the house of he- husband." The times were rude and wild. A woman could be safe and respected only under the protection of a i.usband. "Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept." They felt that it was the rinal parting with the good womai. who had been a second mother to them, the mother of their dead husbands. "And they said unto her. Nay, we will rett:rn with thee unto thy people. ' And now Naomi hr.« the delicate, difft- cult task of breaking to them, as gent- ly as she may, the sad secret that, if they go with her, they will find no welcome from her people, no kindness from any but herself. In marrying them her sons had sinned against the Hebrew law. Ruth Is True to Naomi. Orpah Goes Back to Her People. ".A.nd they lifted up their voice, and wept again." Naomi's words had shown them more clearly than they j had before realized the necessity of , parting from her, or of giving up all' hope of second marriages. "And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law." It was the kiss of farewell. 'Bu'. Ruth clave unto her." "And she said. Behold, thy ister- in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god."' Naomi indicates that Orpah had been led to the God of Israel by association with her hus- band and his family, but that she ex- pects her to fall back under the temp- tations of idolatry as soon as these influences are removsd. She also makes it clear that she expects Ruth, if she goes along with her, to be a follower of Jehovah. "Return thou after thy sister-in-law.'' Or ah is a riveet and attractive creature, clinging with daughterly affection to the mother of her husband, and clinging with an even greater affection to the 'and of her birth. "And Ruth said." Ruth's words here are among the most famous in the Bible. "Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee.'' The words have a lyrical swing and the entire passage is truly poet- ical. "For whither t'nou goest, I will go: and where thou lodgest, I will lodge." The quality of decision is one of the most important a character can possess. "Thy people shall be my people.'' Ruth, who had always lived among the Moabites and loved them as we love our people, proposed to ex- patriate herself for the sake of Naomi. â- â€¢.A.nd thy God my God." This was probably the hardest thing of all for Ruth to say. The natural man clings with the utnK>st tenacity to his reli- gion. "Where thou diest will I die. and there will I be buried." .â- Vccording to ancient thought union in life meant Coast - to - Coast Drive At One Hundred MUes An Hour [3 Vision of Elngineers Who Axe Planning Super'Ex" press Transcontinental Highway in United States New York.â€" Two days from New Vork to California aounda like air- plane speed, but It la only the rate that ordinary motorista will travel if the plans of a group of highway en- Sineers materialize. For two years they have been working out specifica- tions and scientific details of a coaat- to-coast super-express highway which would permit lOO-mileanhour speeds with less danger, actually, than now is encountered at half that rate. The project would involve a four- lane artery without a single crossing or perceptible curve. Cities and towns either would be skirted entire- ly, or the express lanes would be carried overhead or underground in vehicular tunnels. The road would be as skid-proof as engineering skill could make it. and so resihent that automobiles scarcely would need apringB. Motorists would not use their headlights at night. Indeed, they would be forbidden to do so, for the highway would have its own non- glare and fog-penetrating illumina- tion. Vibration Problem. A number of outstanding authorit- ies are co-operating in planning the enterprise. Among them are E. Sut- cliffe. of the Warren Brothers road laborities of Boston, who recently completed the TOO-mile Carretera Cen- tral, a Cuban highway, at a cost of $100,000,000; L. Andrew Relnhard and Harry Hofmeister, associate archit- ects of the $250,000,000 Rockefeller Centre, iu New York; Captain Mal- colm Campbell, holder of the world's automobile speed record of 272 miles per hour; J. E. Pennypacker, former chief of Economics of the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads; Foster Gunnison, il- luminating engineer. The chief problem, the experts found, was the development of the road-bed itself to permit lOO-mile-aa-phaU. iiour traveL "We understand." ssdi Pennypacker. "that automobile manu facturers can reduce the inherent vt bration of & car to a very low figuro But what good is a vibratiooless cat on a rough road? Even the best highway of today, though it may loot smooth as glass to the 40-mile-an-hoiu driver, would ruin his car at a 100 mile average speed." Need of Rigid Cars. Sir Malcolm Campbell declares thai the Kjodera highspeed motorist must build his car almost rigid and depea< on the roadâ€" as Campbell did at Day tona Beachâ€" tor the necessar/ realU â- fncy. To meet such a aeed, technici lans have developed a new surfacing black in color and onaiectcd by sun snow, ice or rain. This would b< laid over a rock base. Such higl speeds as are anticipated would large ly solve the problem of overcrowd ing, so the planners expect to ban only four lanes, two of them exprea and two for slower trafllc. There would lu: no direct entr from any connecting highway to thi two centre lanes of fast u-ilflc. Sut cliffe explained. Entry and egrea* would be accomplished by slantlnj roads. 500 feet in length, betweei the outer and inner incoming cars Service stations may be built si intervals, where corps of mechanic! would give each car stopping foi fael a ciuiok inspection.

Another safety factor wonh be central guide strips of white cor rugated glass, imbedded in the aa union in death and in the grave; the members of a family had a common burying-place. Gen. 4: 30; 49: 29. "Jehovah do so to me, and mora also." Moffatt translates this common form of imprecation. "May the Eternal hill me and worse." "If aught but death part thee and me." Death is the great separation of lovers and friends, but Ruth evidently tiiought of it as only a temporary separation. "And when she (Naomi) saw that she was stecfastly minded to go with her. she left off speaking unto her." She ceased trying to persuade Ruth to return. "So they two went until they came to Beth-Iehem.'' Ruth's Reward, Ruth 1: 19b â€" t: 22. Here again Ruth's character shone forth in its loveliness. She stooped to the service of a menial in order to support her mother. With common hirelings she entered the fields as a gleaner. .-Vs Naomi had doubtless hoped, Ruth's choice of a field in which to glean fell on one belonging to Boaz { a near kinsman of tiie dead Eiimelech, a man of wealth and of religion. .A.3 he came to inspect the work of the reapers, he said to them gravely, "Jehovah be with you": and they replied, ''Jehovah bless' thee.'' Ruth and Boaz. Boaz soon spied Ruth among the gleaners. He learned that she was the .same young woman w^hose loyalty to Naomi was comment- ed upon so favoraNy throughout Beth- lehem. At meal time he bade her join the reapers in their repast and passed the word along that not only should she be allowed to glean among the standing sheaves and not merely where the sheaves had been taken up. but also that the young men should pur- posely leave out handf uls of the grain here and there for her to collect. The Uprightness of Boaz. Wh?n Ruth told in what field she had been gleaning, Naomi was delighted, and at once planned to take advantage of the Hebrew law requiring a man to in«rry the childless widow of his dead brother. To Ruth's frank statement that as her near kinsman, Boaz should n.arry her. he at once consented, if, as he added, a nearer kinsman who lived in the village did not claim her. First B^>a2 asked the nearer kinsman if he would buy a plot of 'land which had belonged to Eiimelech, and the kins- man promptly said that he would. "But,"' added Boaz, "if you buy the land, thus fulfilling part of the duty of the nearest of 'sin, you must also complete your duty by marrying Ruth the Boabitess.'' To this the kinsman at once demurred, and transferred to Boaz all his rights in the matter by the quaint old custom of taking off his shoe and handing it to Boaz, thus handing to Boaz the land on which tht shoe might have trodden, and Ruti with the land. So the law was punc tiliously fulfilled. Ruth's Descendants. In due coursi ason w^as oorn to the happy pair, am Naomi's heart was rejoiced in kiMw- ing that Elimelech's family would thuj be continued. So his beautiful lovi story closes with the genealogy of th< family carried down to Jesse," the fa, ther of David; and the first chaptei of Matthew continues it to Jesui Christ.
