For a quick and new icing, try this 'broiled" recipe: Broiled Icing 3 tablespoons melted butter, 5 table- ipoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons !ream or top milk, Va cup shredded coconut. Mix all ingredients together »nd spread on top of cake while it is Btill warm. Ulace very low over the broiler with flame turned down, 275 degrees F. Broil until icing bubbles jtll over the surface and becomes brown, but use care that it does not burn. This amount will cover a caks baked In a pan 8 inches square.

Some Liver Tips - Since liver is considered one of the best foods in the world, for building up Ihe blood, many mothers are interest- ed in methods of cooking it rather than frying it with bacon or smother- ing it with onions. Calves' liver has soared in price liuce it has gained its widespread re- putation, but beef liver and pig liver are still cheap and quite as valuable as the expensive calves' liver. They Ere not as delicately flavored, to be sure, but the food value is there just the same. Creamed liver and bacon is a better dish for small children than the ordin- gry fried liver and bacon served in tnauy households. Creamed Liver Three-fourths pound liver. 4 thin slices bacon, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, iVi cups milk, Vi teaspoon pepper. Dice liver and roll in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Broil bacon and use drippings to saute liver. Shake liver over a low Are until tender. Meanwhile melt butter, stir in flour aiiJ slowly add milk, stirring constant- ly. Bring to the boiling point and pour over prepared liver. Heat thoroughly and servo on hot toast, garnishing With crisp broiled bacon. Baked Beef Liver This recipe may appeal more to the â- woman who lives in the country and has buttermlk at hand. However, but- termilk can be purchased at nearly all city dairies. Two pounds beef liver, 6 thin slices bacon, 1 medium size onion, 2 cups canned tomatoes, 2 tablespoons sugar, V» teaspoon pepper, 12 stewed prunes. Let liver stand in sour buttermilk overnight or for six or eight hours AVhen ready to cook remove from but- termilk and wipe dry. Lay bacon over surface and fasten with wooden tooth- pick. Cut peeled onion in thin slices and place in a well buttered baking dish. Put liver on bed of onions, add tomatoes, sugar, pepper and stewed prunes with one-half cup of prune juice. Cover baking dish and bake one and one-half hours in a moderate oven. Serve from baking dish. Shears In the Kitchen Perhaps one of the cheapest time and labor-saving conveniences in the kitchen is a good-sized pair of sharp shears. Celery and peppers are quickly cut tor salads. Slit each stalk of celery with several gashes, then cut cross- wise. The celery can be cut as flno or coarse as wanted. Lettuce is easily shredded, tops cut from beets, green onions trimmed and grape fruit prepared by means of the shears. In trimming round steak and cutting the rinds off bacon the shears work twice as fast as a knife and with less danger of cutting the fingers. An easy way to prepare fresh pine- apple Is to slice it across with a large knife and then "peel" each slice with the shears. Eggplant can be prepared this way, too. Candied fruits and marshmailows are easily prepared for desserts when snipped with shears. Dip shears in water to prevent sticking while cut- ting. Afte using shears they should be washed and scalded and lightly rubbed with any salad oil before putting away. Keep them in a drawer away from the children because they must have sharp points and bo sharp on the edges it they give the most satisfactory results. For Your Files If your aluminum saucepans become discolored, boil them with a little water and a piece of rhubarb, or lemon or tomato, the acid in any of which will clean the pan. Cake tins which have been allowed to get rusty should be scrubbed with sand and soft soap, then with hot water and soda, and finally rinsed In boiling water. Curtains with frilly headings may be given a crepe effect by Inserting a cane through the fold, gathering the curtains along it, and ironing over the gathers. This creping helps the head- ing to stand erect. Frying pans of iron, when new, should be washed in hot soapy water for the first and last time. Put in about two ounces of fat and bring to the smoking hot stage. Pour off the fat and rub the pan vigorously round with tissue paper. Repeat twice more allowing pan to feet cold between. Af- ter using the pan for cooking, pour off all fat while hot, and clean pan at once with a tissue paper ball. Then you ought never to be troubled with burning. Lamp shades, if of parchment, may be satisfactorily cleaned with a soft rubber eraser and art gum. If of silk on wire frames, dabble up and down in luke v/arm soapy water. Rinse In the same manner in dean water and hang in the wind to dry. Floor oilcloth, when new, should be varnished and then wax polished. This will obviate washing with soap and water. Razor blades make excellent pocket knives and string cutters It fitted into a handle. They also rip up seams more neatly than a pair of scissors. Always use them tor cutting fur on the wrong side. Varnished paper may be cleaned in this way. Dust the walls well first. Then wipe over a small jiortion at a time with a flannel cloth wrung out of parraffln and water, one quarter cup of paraflln in a bucket of warm water, use when cool. Polish with a soft silk duster. Net curtains, after being washed, should be hung in their permanent position wet, not ironed. They will then dry quite stiff, and hang straight. No pulling or ironing is needed. A - Protect the Trees. In addition to the work of nature, young trees in the city urgently need the intelligent co-operation of every citizen to enable them to give the full benefiit of their beauty. Let everyone make it his duty to protect trees and §1*^38. and more particularly teach children to protect them. It Is a small effort to require of any citizen, but if everyone does his share the appear- ance of the city will be remarkably en- hanced. â€" Le Nouvelliste. Amusing Anecdotes Of Famous People Europes Royalty Found Gang- ster Tales Diverting â€" The Oxford Accent vs. American The prize story told by the Grand Duke Alexander of Russia In the sec- ond volume of his royal reminiscences "Always a Grand Duke," has to do with an offer made him by Alfred Lowenstein â€" notorious Belgian finan- cier, who later disappeared from an airplane whilu crossing the Euslish Channel â€" to become his social secre- tary at a salary of $2,000 a week tor five years. All the work the Grand Duke would have had to do would be to sign Loweustein's social invita- tions: "Alfred Lowenstein, per Alexander the Grand Duke of Russia." Wow! « • • Another Russian Grand Duke â€" also an exile in Paris â€" who, as Alexander puts it, "wauled to eat," determined to try his luck as a wine salesman. -His mind drifted towards the city of Rheims, with its miles of cellars laden with champagne. "The cursed stuff . osi me so much money before," said the Grand Duke, "that surely it ought to support me now." He duly made a connection with a famous champagne firm and, in no time at all, called on bis first pros- pective customer, a wholesale dealer and a former caterer to the Imperial Russian Court. • • • They talked of the good old days. They became emotional. They drank a bottle of "extra-special" vintage. The dealer said that wine of such quality was not obtainable any more in Rheims. The Grand Duke smiled and produced his portfolio. He thought he could easily oblige his amiable host by selling him a thou- sand dozen of champagne of even higher standard. But the dealer said "No." "Poor France â€" poor champagne!" he exclaimed dejectedly. "It even the Russian Grand Dukes must sell it, who the devil can buy it?" "Right then and there," chuckles Alexander, "the noble industry lost its star salesman." * • • "I sincerely regret the present tem- porary retirement of Mr. Alphonse Ca- pone," declares the Grand Duke Alex- ander. Why? Because he was a sub- ject that never failed to amuse and attract European rulers! Says the Grand Duke: "While not every one of them was as well acquainted with the rich rami- fications of that gentleman's career as King Alfonso of Sjiain (he re- proached me for not knowng the exact nature of the relations between Mr. Capone and Mr. 'Legs' Diamond) a guest who had just returned from America was always certain to please his royal hosts witH the recital of this or that latest episode in the Capone epic." » * * Outside of Mr. Capone, what do Kings and Queens talk about at the family dining table? Here is Grand Duke Alexander's report: "Each time I return to Paris, the permanent seat of my exile, from a visit to this or that reigning relative, my friends want me to tell them, 'in strict secrecy' ot course, what news I have brought and what was said in the privacy of a royal dining room. I find it difiicult to make them be- lieve that the miraculous 'backhand' ot William Tilden 2nd provided the main topic of conversation in a ijalace in Scandinavia, while the qualities and the defects of the Salt Lake Bridge were discussed in detail by the rail- road-loving King of Belgium. ♦ * * " 'And London? What did you hear in London about the future ot the pound? When do they think it will be possible to stabilize the British currency?' I blush. I sigh. I admit reluctantly that 'they' talked about the Christmas presents received by Princess Elizabeth and debated whe- ther it was really advisable to permit the girl to be photographed so often." Wise old kings! « * * A word of warning to "beware of the Oxford accent" is given by Dr. L. P. Jacks, former Principal ot Man- chester College, Oxford, to those "ot my British countrymen who may go 'lecturing" in the United States. .Vud Dr. Jacks should know whereof he i warns, for he has loctured his way through the United States, and Can- ada, on several occasions, and â€" look at his Oxford connection! "It you practice the Oxford accent, or the Cambridge ditto â€" the people of the United States cannot distinguish the two â€" you will find that It afflicts your hearers," he says (in his stimu- lating book, "My American Friends.") "Moreover, it will cause them to think that the British are an exhausted race and that what you are talking about is 'bunk.' " • • • Dr. Jacks says after addressing a Woman's Club in a niidwestern city, a lady came up to him. "I came here In terror lest you should have an Oxford Accent," she exclaimed. "Somebody told me you had it badly. Thank heaven, you haven't a trace of it! But have you?" Perhaps the lady's doubt was ju-stl- fled after all, for Dr. Jacks confesses â€" a little later on: "Once or twice when my own re- ception (not at that particular lecture) was flatter than I hoped for I had rea- son to suspect that the rea.son lay In my lapsing inadvertently into au»Ox- tord manner.' " • * • It must have been during one such lapse that Dr. Jacks telephoned a lady who was giving a dinner in his honor. He had forgotten the hour and so rang her up to inquire. Let him tell the story: "Now I have always had a difficulty in hearing the voices ot United States women when speaking on the tele- phone; they are pitched in a key to which I am not accustomed; and they, reciprocally, have a difllculty in "hear- ing me. On this occasion neither my hostess nor I succeeded in achieving intelligibility. « * * "For some time wo yelled at one another to no purpose, she apparently getting more exasperated as the im- broglio deepened. At last her voice came through quite distinctly: " 'What damn fool is this,' she cried, 'trying to talk the English language to an educated American woman?' "Whereui>on I managed to make her understand that I was the guest of the evening and the conversation assumed a different tone. Subse- quently I took her into dinner, and found her a charming companion, the conversation turning mainly on the poetry of Woodsworth." • « « It seems incredible that a little ovar 100 years ago â€" in 1S25, to be exact â€" in an article on "Railways" in the "Quarterly Review," the writer pro- phesied that "everything was to be done by steam, and that everybody would whir! along the road at 12 miles an hour." . . . The reviewer "hoped that Parliament would limit the speed of trains to eight or nine miles an hour, and postpone all thoughts of passenger tralfic until the steam en- gines had been perfected and were not likely to murder the public.'' « * « "Queen Victoria had not trusted her- self on a train till 1842," says George Paston (in "At John Murray's" â€" John Murray, the book publisher and owner of the "Quarterly Review"), when she travelled from Paddington to Slough. Prince Albert was a little nervous, and when the engine got up steam had been heard to say: " "Mr. Conductor, not quite so fast, please.' " • • • There has always been a John Mur- ray at the head of that noted publish- ing house since it was founded by the original John in 1768. Us most famous author was, of course, the poet Byron. There is a letter in the archives of the house from Newton Hanson, the son of Byron's much-tried lawyer. "I do know," he writes to John Mur- ray 3rd, "it you are aware that when the Boy Byron arrived at Harrow (school) they gave him a nickname from observing that one ot bis eyes was visibly larger than the other, and the boys saw the difference ot the size was as much as between a six- pence and a shilling, so they called him Eighteenpence. Apron - Dress {Bumper Crops Ensemble By HELEN WILLIAM.S. Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nished With Every Pattern, Kiss the Keg A kind-hearted English vicar one Jay observed an old woman laborious- ly pushing a pram up a steep hill. He volunteered his assistance, and when they reached the top of the hill said, in answer to her thanks: "Oh, it's nothing at all. I'm delight- chI to do it. But as a little reward, may I kiss the baby?" "Baby? Lor' bless you, sir," she returned, "it ain't no baby, it's the old man's beer."â€" New York World- Telegrram. 2982!

Thpee Problems Faced. Three problems at present confront- ed Western Canada, he said. They were: Finding sufficient markets tot livestock; trying to bring back confi- dence and the necessary feeling ot security, and trying to produce a crop ot grain sufficient to bring profits to farmers of that section. One of the reasons why the West's purchasing power has fallen off was the fact that the livestock market had practically disappeared. He waa glad to say that this market was now being regained and was bringing i certain amount of cash to the pocketi of the farmers. The fact the grain crop promised to be of record propop tions also was helping- to a tremen dons extent, he said^' Boy Meets Mother After Tewelve Yean A mother and son who were partes 12 years ago were recently reunited sU Siuthampbon when the Empress ol Britain arrived from Quebec. The mother, Mrs. G. Scott, of Hamp shire, had not -seen her son, Stanlej Kennedy, since he was two years and five mo.-.ths old and the ship's officials h:.d to point him out to her- Then there was a dramatic seen* as she rushed towards him and em- bracing him, exclaimed "mv .son." TAKEN TO CANADA. Stanley was taken aback by tha .sudden greeting and after returning the kiss proffered his hand and said, "Glad to meet you. Mother." "I separated from my husband 12 years ago," Mrs. Scott said, "and ha went to Canada and settled in Mon- treal. I secured a job as* stewardess en the Melita, and while I was at sea an uncle of the children took my two boys. Bob and Stanley, to Canada, where they joined their father.

Girl Art Student Wins High Honor On the frame of the picture of aa •'Oriental Portrait," by Miss Janet Cree, in the Royal Academy exhibi- tion (London), is a label inscribed: "Purchased by the President and Council of the Royal Academy under the terms of the Chantrey Bequest" This honor thus won is of especial importance, as it is the first time that the work of a student still at school has been purcliased under the terms of the Chantrey Bequest.
