You can't really call yourself a eamper unless you can make flapjacks, Flapjacks and coffee--there's some- thing to start you off well on a crisp morning. One quart of flour, one teaspoonful ©f salt. two teaspoonfuis of sugar or four of molasses, and two leve! table- spoonfuls of baking powder are what (Jou need to start with. Mix these to- ®ether. Rub in, dry, two heaped tabie- ®poonfuls of grease. Them make = smooth batter with cold milk. The milk is best, but if you haven't it, use water. Fapfacks are a sort of *'what-have-you" affair anyway. Make the batter just thin enough to pour from a sSpoon--not too thin, or you will have a hard time baking it. Btir the batter well to smooth out all the lumps. Set the frying pan level over the coals. When it is quite hot, grease with a piece of pork. Be sure to have the pan hot enough. The batter should sizzle as it touches the pan. Pour from the end of a big spoon enough batter to fill the pan within about a half-inch of the rim. When bubbles have appeared all over the cake and the edges have become stiff, move the pan about to make sure the cake is mot sticking to the pan "ENE TH EY enough to flap. y Hold the pan slanting In front of you . slmer, and away fr ou.

Johnny put the telephone receiver back on the hook sheepishly. '1 was starting to call," he ex. plained "and some one seemed to be on the wire." "And you listened to them talk," added his mother 'Well, "it's not ag honorable thing to do. Don't let me find you doing It again." But Johnny's curiosity was almost As great as his sensitiveness. A few days later he picked up the hook tg phone his pal, Bill Willlamson, and he heard a girl's voice. He recognized it at once as the voice of Florence Carson, a girl of his own age who lived three houses down. He didn't put the receiver back, "Yes," Florence was saying, "I suppose we'll have to invite Johnny to the party." "But Johnny is such a silly thing!" the other voice--also a girl's--replied, Then Johnny put up the recelver, feel ing very queer. He wondered what party they meant. He knew there wasn't any other Johnny that Florence was acquainted with, The next day he received: an in- vitation to a birthday party at Florence Carson's house. He brooded about it, and the more ho thought, the worse he felt. Of course, he de. cided, he couldn't &0 to the party. His mother couldn't understand. his Sudden dislike for parties Finally she agreed that he might stay at home, and. telephoned Florence that he was eick and wouldn't be over. He really did fee! sick by the time he had seen all of his gang trooping by to the party. He was sitting lonesomely in the living room when the party was over, and Florence ran in. "How are you fe, ling, Johnny?" she asked. 'I'm sorry you couldn't come, for we had so much fun. See, I brought you some cake." Some one called from out in front. "That's Joanna Westerman," said Florence. "I must run along.

If the frequency of the appl.ed grid potential is low the frequency of the pulsating ¢:ate curren: 1s low and will easily vass througc either the telephone magnet wina.ngs or the primary wiuding of the trans former. There is a stepping up voltage in the "ransformer, »C that higher grid opotentia. variations are applied to the second tube, and the plate current in that tube will have greater amplitude of puisa- tion than in tbe first tube. Theres is, then, amplification of ihe sig- nal, and a louder sound '+ heard in the telephine receivers when connected into .he plate circuit of this second tube. This tube should, of course, be connected. so that a positive potential is appliet to its plate or there will be no current in the circuit. It has been «ssumed that only low uency potentials ware ap- plied to the grid of tre first tube. High frequency coule be applied under certain conditicns arg also amplified. In the firar casa, ampli- fication is at audio frequency and in the second case at radic fre- quency.

Mr, Besser has engraved music from manuscripts of Dr, Vogt, Dr. Ham, the late Humphrey Anger, and many other celebrated musicians in Canada, besides having re-engraved many of the works of the gre-t classic masters. He has been dmg this sort of work since he wed boy, or, as he put it, "for a little better than forty years."

But how many of us know that many of these same knights were also great musicians and poets--who after re- turning from the wars, sang of their gallant deeds or the fair ladies they kad met? - These singing knights were callad troubadours--an- old French word meaning "makers"; that is, they were makers of music and poetry. . Trou- badours were found all over Europe in the middle ages, but most of all they flourished in Provence, the ter- Jritory in the south-east corner of France In the eleventh century, Provence was the happiest and most peaceful spot in a not very happy or peaceful world.

So the knights and nobles there, hav- ing no battles to prepare for, turned their theughts to music and poetry and began to make their songs, thus earning the name of "troubadours." Just as other knights went forth to war, so the troubadours of Prov- ence went forth to sing; for they were {porn wanderers, and loved the free life of the open road. They made their songs in the winter time, when the bad weather kept them indoors; but, when spring came, they mounted their epirited horses, and off they went from castle to castle and from town to town. Very picturesque they must have looked in their polished armour, and many were the exciting adventures they had by the way. The troubadours wae attended on his journéy by three or four servants, These were called his minstrels or gleemen; and each carried a musical instrument, on which he would ac- company his master's songs. The in- struments used" in those days were chiefly lutes and viols, both in shape somewhat like our modern violin. The main difference between them was that the strings of the lute were pluck with the finger, and those of the viol were played with a bow. When the troubadour arrived at a lcastle (and he usually contrived to do this about nightfaln), he was ushered into the banqueting mall, where the lord-and his guests were sitting at dinner. He was warmly welcomed and given a seat of honor at the table, After the feast: came the musle, The troubadour went into an ante room {po change his suit of armor for a rich robe of fur, edged with gold; and his minstrels, after having tuned their instruments, made this Httle speech to the audience: "We some bringing a precious balm which cures all ills, and heals the troubles both of body and of mind; this balm is the music of our master."
