They were enclosed in glass to protect the flame from the wind. They were used on buggies. From Mrs. Rose Ramser, Griffith, Ind.: I remember when my brother swallowed a two-cent piece. So we fed him mashed potatoes every time he was hungry. From Amelia Doctor, Denver: 1 remember when women wore long, heavy black veils at the funerals funer-als of close relatives, and the men wore a black crepe band on their hats and coat sleeves. Black clothes were worn for a whole year after the death of a member of the family. From Mary Karch, Lakeview, Ohio: I remember when father used to get the auger and some hollowed-out spiggots. He would tap the maple or sugar trees, and we boiled the sap down into a delicious de-licious maple syrup. We used the sweetened water to make delicious sassafras tea. From Sam Williams, Fairmont, W. V.: I remember when palm leaf fans were used to keep the air stirring in churches and at public gatherings. From Mrs. Fannie Lester, Ring-fold, Ring-fold, La.: I remember when people peo-ple wanted to paint their faces they went to the woods and got a bud off of a red oak bush, mashed it and useji it for face rouge. There were no beauty parlors. When mother wished to dye some cloth, she boiled red oak bark and put coppers in it to set it. It made a dull blue.
