s THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, JAN, 26, 1933 Woman's ^Chatter... By MA1R M. MORGAN Children of Famous Comedian Enjoy Winter Spforts While on my way to a tea last Sunday, I noticed yard after yard had a uniform appearance--and that was the skeleton of a Christmas tree, which recalled a letter I had received recently from a friend of mine in Chicago, telling me of the shortage of Christmas trees and that in fact, they had decided to do without one. Being one of those people who leave everything to the last moment, she had found that the lowest price asked on Christmas Eve was seven dollars! And in one Toronto district they were giving them away free] Reading the account of bursting boiler in a Oshawa home | gave me a distinctly unpleasant feeling. Imagine being awakened by heaving floors and then suddenly the top of a boiler reposing beside your bed--I can't imagine anything more uncomfortable. The most remarkable thing was that the five occupants ?scaped without any serious injury. Such a widespread epidemic of the flu has not been experienced since Spring, 1918. Everywhere you go or even call iy telephone has at least one case to reporfctan the restaurants fou can pick out the victims by their lackadaisical view of the nenu and the even more indifferent execution when their order arrives. Which raises the question "Have You a Little Flu Victim in Your Home?" If so, perhaps the following tasty receipes might appeal to indifferent appetites: Sweet potatoes are becoming increasingly popular as an everyday item in the family menu. The following combination--Baked salmon and sweet potatoes is different yet not too radical a change. Bake six medium sized sweet potatoes. Mash, season with salt, pepper and butter. Add %, can of finely flaked canned salmon. Mix all together. Place in buttered baking dish, spread top with melted butter, garnish with }4 can salmon in large pieces. Heat five or six minutes and serve. For those lovers of sauerkraut (and I'm a determined follower) Sauerkraut Roll has a number of good points. Take two or three pounds of round steak cut 94-inch thick. Sprinkle salt and pepper over it. Cover with thin slices of bacon. Place as much kraut on this as possible, and roll up and fasten with skewers. Put in covered roasting pan with a pint of water and bake one hour in a moderate oven. Then thicken the liquid with flour. Garnish with lemon slices. For a dessert to follow either of these dishes Prune Souffle speaks for itself. Take twelve large prunes three egg whites, three tablespoons powdered sugar. Boil prunes in enough water to cover for one hour. Beat prunes to a pulp after removing pits. Beat the egg whites «ntil stiff, fold in the sugar and then the prune pulp. Turn into a greased baking dish and bake in a slow oven (250 F.) about twenty minutes. Serve at once with cream, soft custard or any desired sauce. Already we are getting faint whispers of fashions for Spring and 'the latest seems to be that skirts will be narrow--that is, give that appearance. Pleats will be only in front and well pressed. Black, dark blue and white seem to be leading in midwinter styles. Black and white tweed is having quite a run in Paris social circles at the moment, which leads one to the conclusion that smart women are conservative in their color schemes.

Mr. Masefield is a great believer in the recital of verse. He regards it as one of the most important branches of the poetic art. This is why he has on the grounds of his beautiful home at Boar's Hill, near Oxford, a little theatre of his own, where people may gather to hear poetry spoken aloud. This private theatre holds one hundred people and is often filled. The poet's career has been a remarkable one. Born in 1878 at Ledbury, in Herefordshire, he lost both his parents at an early age, and went to sea in the merchant marine, where bo developed that keen love for everything pertaining to sailing which animates some of his greatest writings. His sensitive, imaginative mind registered the scenes and experiences through which he passed for reproduction in later years. It was not until after this period that he began writing poetry, He had got to the point - where he craved for books and the leisure to read them. fo?> prizes to ihe winners of poettc competitions organized by himself. • ■ We have read that Masefield learned how to write poetry, while associating with Mr. W. B. Yeates in London. Whether that be so or not he has come to be the favorite poet of the English-speaking world. He has touched upon many aspects of life, but more than any other writer ot his time he may be stid to have been concerned with the celebration ndurance under ordeal.

Is it possible to find a single, underlying cause and a single cure? That, according to a London (I specialist, is the question behind new research, particulars of which have just been published. Dr. G. W. Pickering, a member of the Medical Research Society, and Dr. W. Hess have found a substance, "histamine acid phosphate," which, on injection into a vein, produces a headache in forty seconds. Particulars of their experiments are given in the current number of the Br Medical Journal. "I would place headaches," the specialist, "next to the common cold in the huge loss they bring to world; headaches cost this country millions of pounds a year in loss b!e ! find the > "Hence, it is a technical ence to be able to produce to order and in the degree you wish.

"The method of producing a pain to find its cure has been followed effectively in other subjects, tfotably in cobra bite. "It will probably be a long time before research produces any specific against headaches, but it is of enormous importance that the first steps are being taken toward a discover of the cause."

So now a new expedition is being prepared to go down to the jungle, look for him and bring him back to civilization. Here is a sample of the sort of yarn that adventure-story writers have been fond of for decades. If it isn't true, it ought to be; for it comprises just the right proportions of mystery, adventure and surprise.

Telephone Directory Made London Debut in 1880 London's first telephone directory is dated April, 18S0, It contains the names of 446 subscribers, spread over three exchange;.---A, B, and 0 Today there are alont 400,000 subscribers spread over 232 excliar.ae-.. In April, 188C, the great family oi Smith had six telephone entrit3; now something like 4,000. The greater family of Macs had five, the Joneses none! Today the former occupy nineteen columns, and the latter twenty-two! Five entries began with London, and one each with British, Royal, and National. It, was the City that madt the telephone possible, and in 18S0 aine-tenths of the subscribers had E.C. in their address. Few bonks were on the telephone. They feared it would lead to fraud. Stockbrokers, the contra:.', were its keenest pioneers. Only one railway ^ in this first telephone book--the old London, Chatham, and Dover, now part of the Southern Railway. No Government office had the telephone, and you could not have booked a seat by telephone in any London theatre, called up any newspaper office, or ordered a meal at any restaurant.

Therefore when any rule by it.™ observance interfered, with man's; good, then its true purpose could be better fulfilled by disobeying it. In v. 28 Jesus says that in his capacities representative cf all humanity, the Son of man, wholly in harmony with 1 is Father's will, endowed with his f.plrit, he has the right to decide when and under what conditions its observance would be helpful or harmful. The regvilations and restrictions of Lho old-fashioned sabbatli were designed by our fathers to make that day ankind's highest needs, pliysi-tal, social, spiritual. To ensure rying out of that intention, ident was not plan-ned. The cast of the man with tha withered hand was a direct challenge by Jesus. It was not an v»newncy. This man could wait until Monday. Healing was allowed on the sabbath only when life was actually in danger. Why, then, did Jesus heal him? Jesus' alternative was this: Heal this permit him to suffer • refuse to help him.

For Jesus to let slip an opportunity to help was to inflict an actual injury, The Levite and priest who passed by (Luko 10: 31, 32) were really murderers. They were parties to what they were willing to permit. Jesus-lived so close to God that he saw everything -in life in this clear-cut ray. Some people are similarly sensitive--for the same reason. The watching Pharisees were so bent on their heresy-hunting t at, like-their modern counterparts, they lost u\l interest in the real good that was being done. They stung o ■ Lord to anger. "Who is the real sabbath-breaker?" he flung at them, "he who performs a work of mercy, such as I am performing now, or he who w.ik? an injury, who, in fac', "lots to murder such as you are doing njw?" Such is a possible interpretation of v. 4. This exposure of " their miserable scheming left them with nothing to say. While they were recovering from this thrust, the Master exercised his healing power upon the sufferer. "This is too much," they wuul-d cry. This fellow has ignored our customs, he has broken our most cherished: , denied the doctrines on which we were brought up. All the good he does is as nothing compared with this." "And the Pharisees went forth and took counsel with the Herodians, how they might destroy him." Jesus, in these two incidents, acted out the principle that Sunday is to be used for one's own highest good and for the highest good of one's brother.
