Show How to Make a Fireless Cooker From a Bunch of Old Newspapers CORNWELL ROUND member D DR of or the Royal College of or Surgeons Surgeons Sur Sur- geons sends to the Norwood London Review a detailed dc description of how howa a most efficient tireless fireless may be made from tram nothing but old pers It Is not quite so perfect In Its retaining heat-retaining qualities as the NorwegIan Norwegian Nor Nor- hay box but this slight defect is more than compensated by the difference difference dif dif dif- ference In price The materials needed for tor the nested cover as Dr Round calls it It are a I SECTION ELEVATION three-quart three handle drop-handle camp saucepan saucepan saucepan sauce sauce- pan a packing needle string scissors a n saucer a lead pencil penell a curtain curtal ring paste and brush and about two dozen large newspapers First of all a dummy is to be made about an Inch broader and deeper than the saucepan This can be done by rolling paper around the cooking

final cover over the pan Begin by opening out the newspaper sheets singly using ani only those that are not torn From such as are torn cut a lot o 0 discs using the saucer sauce as aE a guide Thread the packing needle with about two feet teet of string and tie the ends together with a large knot Pass the tho needle through the centre of or about a dozen ot of- the paper discs and pull through up

string Drive the needle through a few Cew discs or squares of paper and having put some paste on them and on the string pass them down on the top crumpled edges atthe of at the sheet of paper thus forming one complete comparatively airtight cover Put on thirty or more marc such sueh covers the only limit being the length of the folded sheet of newspaper and the fear tear of at making the whole

and pass the two entIs ends of or orthe the string several times tightly around the double string under the disc and tie them In a knot Lastly paste down the disc When the paste Is dry the cover can
