•-»'«.» â€"T^-.-^tTJ Woman^s World By Mair M. Morgan WHO SAID HASH? Hash may be an old boarding- house favorite to a few and a board- ing-house bugbear to many, but hash, when properly made, is a pretty good dish. Here are two ha«h recipes that will please you: Beef Hash 2 cups chopped cold roast beef or steak 2 to 4 cups chopped boiled potatoes 1 cup beef gravy or hot water 4 tablespoons butter Salt ami pepper Put butter (or substitute) into a frying pan and then put in the meat and potato, salt and pepper, moisten with beef gravy or hot water and eover. Let it steam or heat through thoroughly, stirring occasionally to mix it evenly and also to keep it from sticking. When done it should be neither watery nor dry, but just firm enough to stand well when dished. If onion is liked, fry two or three slices in the fat before the hash is adilod. Corned-Beef Hash 2 cups choppetl corn beef 2 cups cooked potatoes % cup milk or water 2 tablespoons butter or fat Salt and pepper Mix beef and potatoes together lightly and se:ison. Pour the milk in- to a fiyinjT pan with half the fat and, when this is warm, turn in the hash, spreading it evenly and placing the rest of the fat, cut in piece.s on the top. Cover the pan and place it where the h.ish will cook slowly for half an hour. There should then be a rich, thitk crust on the bottom. Do not stir the hash. Fold it as an ome- let is folded and place it on a warm I platter. This slow proce.-^s of heating) the hash gives it a flavor that can not be oM-iitii'i I'V hurried cooking.

Blue Lights Seen As Romance Spur HOLLYWOOD, Calif. â€" A girl should have a dim blue lij^ht to help a bashful beau propose, says Lou Kolb, chief electrician at a big film studio. A red lamp shade in the living- room is likely to drive a man to tho divorce court. "Those tlilnRS arc Just prMCilcal psycholopry," Kolb explained. "We've been using them for years to help stimulate the mood a star must have to play a certain type of scene. They never fail." He said red lijibt makes people initablp, even quarrelsome; a lot of white light tends to cau.se gaiety; green shadings bring peace and ealm; so do brown; blue or purple are ef- fective in generating affection. The blue tinge, typical of roman- tic ideuH, is what makes moonlight so popular with lovers, Kolb said.

The Registrar-General for England and Wales has supplied to the British Medical Journal a statement regard- ing the provisional birth-rates, death-rates, and the rates fo infantile mortality in England and Wales dur- ing 1935. These figures, just published, show a live birth-rate of 14.7 per 1,000 of the population, death-rate of 11.7, and an infantile mortality rate of 57 per 1,000 live births registered. This infantile mortality rate is the lowest 'l recorded, the previous record years I being 1934, with 59, and 1930," with loo. Last year's birth-rate was 0.1 per 1,000 below that of 1934, but was 0.3 above that of 1933, the lowest re- corded. The general death-rate was 0.1 below that for 1934. LESSON Ml.â€" April 19.

PLACE.â€" Perae:i. "And he .said, a certain man had two .sons. -And the younger of them -said to his father. Father, give nie the portion of thy substance that falleth to me." -According to Jewish law (Dout. 21:17) each .son would receive the same proportion of pio- pcrty and inheritance from the father, except the eldest son, who would receive an inheritance double that of any of his brothers. The younger .son here, then, asks for one- third of hi.s father's e.^tate. Tlie re- que.st probably was not unusual, and yet it shows two things: the younger son chafe<l at the restraints that the home placed upon him. ;in<I he want- ed to live a life which the environ- ment of the home did not convenient- ly permit; moreover, he needed money with which to accomplish the elfish i)urposes that were in his heart. "And he divided unto them his living." In the father's consent- ing to the guilty wish of bis .':on, a very solemn thought is expressed, that of the sinner's abandonment to the desires of his own heart (Rom. 1:21, 20, 28), the ceasing, on the part of the divine Spirit, to strive against the inclinations of a spoiled heart, which can only be cured by the bitter experiences of .'^in. ".And for many days after, the younKcr son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his sub.staiice with riotous living." The word riotous here means ali;indoncil, dissolute, profligate. ".And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that coun- try." There is a divine teleology (that character of nature which re- veals design or final cause) in the ronjuctioii, whether appearinj; in in- dividual experience or in the life of nations, and the parable only recog- nizes tlii.s truth in exhibiting a cor- respondence between moral state and outward circumstances. "And he be- gan to be in want." The inevitable destitution to which sin drags its victims. "And ho went and joined liimself to one of the citizens of that cotin- try." The word iiiiplie.v that the citizen of tho country, to whom he applied, was unwilling at first to re- ceive him, and only after persistent pressing entreaties, took him into his service. "And he sent liim into his fields to feed swine." This young nmn, a Jew, has now lost his inde- pendence and freedom, which, at fir.st, he starte<l out to fully enjoy; he has been driven to tasks which 3 W.V. norniully would have heun revolting to him. ".And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that tho swine did eat."' These were the pods of the carob tree. ".And no man gave unto him." The swine were more precious in tho citizen's eyes than the swineherd. "IJut when he came to himself." This expression is like that in Acts 12:11 ill .-.peaking of Peter awaken- ing from his strange experience in being delivered from prison by an anv.el. The statement itself would indicate that thi.s man in Ids sin was outside of himself, or beside himself. Sin robs us of our normal power.? of common sen.-:e, of balanced juoirment. "He said. How many hired servants of my father's have bread enou';h and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!" And thus (!od u.ses phys- ical sufl'ering and shame to bring those who would live apart trom him to their senses again. "I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him. Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight." Here i.s the turning-point in this young man's life. Ho is de- termined to pet out of the foreign country, out of his shame, out of his waste<l daily life. "I am no more worthy to be called thy son : make me as one of thy hir- ed servants." A spirit of sucii hu- mility as this tcstitie.s to the reality of his sense of sin and true repent- ance. ".And he arose and came to his father." Many a resolution dies be- fore it is put into execution. Here the resolution, once taken, is ini- niediatcly carried out. "But w..Ue he was yet afar off, his father saw him." Undoubtedly, the Lord would have us to believe that the father continually had been looking for bis son. It was all be could do. He could not bring him home by com- pulsion, but he loved him, and, every day, he watched, with never tiring eye. ".And was moved with coni- liassion, and ran." It is the only place in Holy Scripture where baste is attributed to God. "And fell on Ills neck, and kissed him." Literal- ly, kissed him again and again. ".And the .son said unto him. Father, 1 have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son." When wo were still dead in trespasses and sin, (Jod loved us. He loved us before ever we loved Him (1 John 1:10,19). "But the father said to his ser- vantK, Bring forth quickly the best robe." ."Many believe that this phrase should read, more accurate'y. the first robe, meaning not the first in quality, but tho robe which tho son had Worn in former days. "And put it on him; and put a ring on his hand," .A ring is .symbolic of honor and dignity (Oen. U:42; Esther 3: 10; 8:2; James 2:2). "And shoes on his feet." The shoes were marks of a free man, for slaves went bare- foot. "And bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us cat, and make merry." It is often said that there is no sacrifice in this parable of the lustoration of tlie prodigal son. But tliat great Biblical expositor, Dr. G. '.'ampbcll ."^lorgan, wi-ites, "If a son, whether through rebellion or legiti- mately, left home for a season, it was the habit to offer a sacrifice upon the thieshold on his return. 'Tlie purpo.sc of the sacrifice was two- fold, til St an atonement for possible sin, f.i.d secondly, a feast to be spiead when the threshold «as crn.osed." "For this my son was dead." Death is often spoken of in the New TesUiment as the state of a sinner even while he is living out his life on earth (Eph. 2:1; Koni. C:13, etc.). "And is alive again. He was !< st. and is found. .And they began to be merry." Man, viewed as tho ob- ject of the Saviour's solicitude, is lost as a straying sheep is lost, through thoughtlessness; as a piece of money is lost to use, when its owner cannot find it; as a prodigal is lost, who, in waywardness and self- will departs from his father's house. Marriage License Costs are Halved REGI.NA. â€" The high cost of mar- riage has been reduced for residents in Northern Saskatchewan. The .Sa.<katchewan Legislature recently, when in committee of the whole, approved an amendment to the marriage act which cuts the costs of marriage licenses Irom J5 to S2.50 for persons living north of township 54. which means th(> ;irea north of Prince -Albert National Park. It includes part of tho park. Hon. J. M. Uhrich, minister of public health, who was in charge of the bill, stated that many residents in the northern settlements often wore long distances away from mar- riage license issuers, and that as a result, getting a marriage license caused them much more trouble and greater expense than it did to those living in the more settled parts of the province. As a means of com- pen.<;ating these residents, the license fee has been reduced to $2.ij0. For Itching Ears A new form of advertising is be- ing gi\en a tryout on crowde 1 trains and street cars of tho East. Rid- ing along with nothing to occupy their time, passengers subconscious- ly listen to conversation? going on around them. .An advertising agency, taking cog- nizance of that fact, is sending out men in pairs to engage in a care- furiy rehearsed line of talk, though entirely tuitural, in which one tells the other what an excellent tire ho has found this or that bran(T to be, or how much he enjoys a certain cigarette or tobacco, or the brand of shaving soap he prefers above all others, etc. Capper's Weekly. The Rural Teacher (Ottawa Journal) Addressing the Gatineau Techer*"] Association Dean Salmon of Attawal spoke in warm terms of the "ndelity' and effectiveness' of rural teachers.' It was a deserved tribute to a class of professional men and women who have little in material reward \p r»- concile them to laborious and pains- taking effort. It is plain that the rural teacher is a larger factor in the early yean of rural boys and girls than is the city teacher in his or her sphere, because there are fewer distracting influences in the schoolhouse at the country crossroads to interfere with the impression that is ma^ on young lives by the teacher's ckar- actcr and skill. The country teacher in Canada has done a magnificent job, and those who have charge of the >ura^ schools today inherit a tradition of service that has many fine ckaptera in Canadian history. A cominttity with a teacher and a parson fMsec- ses a centre of culture from wKich radiate influences of incaleld&i>]« value to the nation. i Bolero Dress How young and fresh wiiii navy tarteta bolero jacket and navy and white crepe print dress, js to- day's nioiiel.
