First, sift flour and measure out «ne cup of it. Sift this four more times. A cup of egg whites are to be beaten, This will take about eight or ten eggs. The eggs should be fresh, but they must Pe at least three days old or they will not beat successfully. Cold storage eggs or eggs preserv- od In waterglass or brine will not beat light enough, Put the egg whites on a large platter add one- fourth teaspoon salt and beat them with a flat wire whisk until foamy, {hen add one-fourth teaspoon of cream fartar and continue beating until they wre stiff enough to hold up in peaks, Put not dry, Underbeaten. eggs will make an undersized cake, beavy and eoarse. Overbeaten eggs will make a eake which is too dry. Sift granulated sugar and measure out one and one-fourth cups of it. Fold this carefully into the egg mix- ture, two tablespoons at a time, until all is used. Sift a small quantity of flour over| the mixture and fold this in carefully; ¢eontinue until all the flour is used. combining ingredients use only the ding motion. Add three-fourths feaspbon of vanilla and one-fourth teaspoon of almond extract, and fold in. + Pour the batter into ungreased angel food pan and bake at least one four in a slow oven. After thirty minutes, increase the heat of the oven slightly. When the cake is done, re- move it from the oven and invert the pan for one hour, or until cold.

Color and You Time "was when the red haired girl gvoided red, the blue eyed one wore white with a blue sash and every wo- man of a certain, or rather an "un- gertain" age, wore black. Now we dre gtudying our types to see exactly what we, as Individuals, should wear. "We have learned the youth-giving ef t of color and are ardent Ponce-de- ns chasing this new Fountain of Youth. 2h 'We have learned that to ohoose a ¢olor which matches our complexion, dncreases the effect of that color. If our skin is red or yellow, or hair dull gray, we do not want to empbasize the' fact. We can tone down the too flamboyant or brighten up the drab . by the use of a natural shade or ome 'which reflects a joyous color note. Black is depressing and very try: fig to wear, but it is rich and may make the wearer look distinguished, * Mt the lines are good and there is style #0 it. It is a quiet, refined choice, ms well as a practical one.

For There is a form of Indigestion which is caused by eating too much starchy food, as potatoes, bread and butter and cereals. Its symptoms are sour stomach, gas, and vague discom- fort, especially at night. Tbe best remedy, to overcome this iil, is but- termilk or sour milk. It is wise to keep the diet low in starches and Sugars. Cl Hint The long-handled dish-mop has oth- ef" virtues than its use for dishes.

H, Thomas, who is at the moment very down in the mouth, and to other pes- simists, a number of cheerful items in to-day's news, The bank rate is re- duced; there is an interim Navy cut of £6,600,000; a sum of £12,000,000 is to be spent on the ondon tubes, giv- ing work to at least a few unemploy- ed; a London shipping record is re- ported; and the price of bread will be down on Monday. As if this were not enough, the quarrel between Mr, Bald- win, Lord Rothermore and Lord Beaver- brook as to the most expensive way of making everybody pay more* for everything has now taken so p ing a turn that there is a cheerful] prospect of all three policies crashing in an orgy of mutual destruction. -- me. "Friendly Relations" With Russia London Daily Telegraph (Con.): The hypocritical farce of "friendly re- lations" between the British and the Soviet Governments is kept up on one side only. It was odious from the first to all honest minds in this coun- try. "It has become much more odious since the Soviet Government, so far from raising itself to a plane of mini mum decency in the eyes of the world, turned to its present task of "exter- " minating" "a whole class of peasant proprietors with ruthless cruelty, and redoubled the energy of the murder ous persecution by which it is sought to stamp Christianity out of existence on Russian soil, WHILE MODERN IN MANY THINGS OLD CEREMONY IS MAINTAINED Prince' Takamatsu, younger brother of Japanese Emperor, and his bride, in ancient ceremonial robes on their wedding day, recently, in Tokio, A Salvage Problem Where Can Good Automo- biles go When They Die? You can't drive it, because it Isn't safe. You can't desert it alcng a lonely road, because that's against the law. You can't drive it into the river, because that's against the law, too. You can't sell it because not even the junk man will give you money it. You can't'give it away, because no one will bave it as a gift. As white elephants go, the ancient car can sometimes be the whitest of them all, laments William Ulmaen, writing on the disposal of junk auto- mobiles In a copyrighted article for Ullman Feature Service. The problem of disposing of the useless automobile is acute. Twenty. five millions of them must be supplied with a last resting place within the next ten years, Mr. Ullman tells us. But no one knows where or how, George U. Harvey, President of the Borough of Queens, New York City, tried to do something to solve the problem, and wanted Henry Ford to help. He assumed that since Mr. Ford is an expert in making cars ap- pear, he should also be expert in mak- ing them disappear. His idea elicit ed sympathy, but Httle argument. Said the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Common justice will not permit general approval of Mr, Harvey's suggestion that the most prolific pro- ducer of automotive equipment in the world should bear a part of the re sponsibility for the removal of the unsightly junk. This manufacturer is no more re- sponsible, morally, for clearing the countryside of worn out automobiles than the producer of food is respons- ible for gathering up all the tin cans that clatter up the ash-heaps and vac- ant lots. The responsibility in both cases rests with the most recent own- er; The position of the Borough sought to have the peanut. growers of the South clean up all the circus grounds and baseball parks and other places of great peanut consumption; or that the makers of ships be com- pelled to dispose of the wrecks. But President Harvey has his finger on a problem that needs solution. The processes of rust and other forms with automobile manufacture and the millions of new cars that come to the users each year. We must believe that a consider- able number of cars that are worn beyond further use are thoroughly junked, and other use made of the parts and materials, so that they dis- appear entirely as automobiles or au- tomobile wrecks. But the evidence of sight proves that many thousands are shunted to vacant lots and road: side disposal to remain eyesores to all who pass. The automobile as an institution 1s not old enough for stud- ents of disposal to make a fair com- putation of how long nature must work to obliterate the old wrecks, for, surely, some of the firet still rest on city lots and along the nation's roads. Returning to the problem of what to do with the 26,000,000 automobiles that will go out of eervice during the next decade, we find Mr, Ullman writ- ng: Assuming that each of them takes up on an average of fifty square feet, it would take a cemetery containing 1,260,000,000 square feet to bury them, leaving mo space between the "Corpses." There are 25,000,000 motor-vehicles, and approximately 500,000 miles of surfaced highway in the United States. That means fifty motor-ve- hicles to the mile, In seven years these cars all wil have 'dled. Where will they be buried, along with num- erous others that will have met death prematurely in accidents? "It is something to «think about," says one of the most progressive State motor-vehicle officials, The average man must agree. . The part of the junk dealer in the situation is set forth by the Motor of disintegration are not keeping up| + Vehlele Commissioner of Connecticut "He Is responsible for the ear cemeteries which are beginning to appear alongside our roads, some of them located in the most beautiful sec- size, extent, and general ugliness of these attest the popularity and prob- able profit of this kind of business. "While there does not appear to be any method at the present time whereby the defacement of scenery and loss of attractiveness on the side 'of bighways caused by such spectacles can be met, there should be some way devised by which owners of land are prevented from making it a. public nuisance, The argument in favor of this is perhaps !dealistic, but it 1s practical nevertheless. "The scenery has a real and practl- cal value, People are attracted by the surroundings more than by any other characteristic to purchase real estate, to build homes, and to use land for vacation purposes, Apparently it is perfectly possible under exist ing laws to restrain other nuisances; for instance, the law may be invoked to prevent the erection of a slaughter house or a soap-factory in an unsui- table place, Why should there not be a law to prevent a man from making a nulsance in an esthetic sense, and thereby preserve for home- builders the practical value of real estate?" The course of the junk dealer, who might be assumed to be a big fac- tor in solving the problem, obviously is one hedged about with Its parti. cular difficulties. More and more States are compell- ing the junking of unsafe automobiles, we learn. Massachusetts, Connectl- out, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York are among those which are seeking to get such cars off the highway. Bat where to put them once they are off the high- way is another question, to which Mr. Ullman gives consideration: Why not dsmantle them? Why not drive them out along some coun- try road and leave them? Why not drive them into the river? Or, into some farmer's pasture? Why not lit- erally bury them in holes that are to be filled for building or something similar? Those engaged in the efforts to dis- pose of old cars have definite answers for all these proposed solutions. Take that with reference to dls- mantling the decrepit car. Thousands are being dismantled all the time. Junk dealers started it. Automo- bile dealers through thelr trade bodles later got into the business, Dis. mantling a car, however, they have found does not remove all traces of it from the face of the earth. En- gine and drive mechanism as to cer- tain parts are about all that ls worth dismantling. Usually, there is left the body, the chassis, the tireless wheels--as forlorn a sight as any one would care to see, That bas to be disposed of after the dismantling. So, the process does not solve the problem, Dumping old automobiles into holes that are to be filled up for bu!dng or other purposes is practised to a imit- ed extent. Only, however, where the cars ond tue holes are fairly close to- gether. If it is necessary to move the car to the hole, the handling in- volved makes the move economical ly unwise, Many ideas have been tried and are being tried, it is pointed out. Home are successful in some places; others elsewhere. None, however, Is com- pletely the answer to the problem. ee Yet Wool production should have made a good record during 1929.

Under the "Mul-tsal" system, these small children, usually between the ages of four and fourteen, have hither to been sold into domestic servitude. The owners have often claimed that their victims have merely been "adopted," and that it is a kindness to take them away from the homes of thelr pauper parents, The very title, "Mul-tsal," however, reveals the true nature of the system, for these are the Chinese words for "little slaves." The British Government, in insist- ing upon stern action, is carrying out its pledge given to the League of Na- tions when signing its Slavery Con- vention of 1926, Public opinion has moved in recent years, The time has passed when a distinguished naval officer could lose his position because he and his wife championed the cause of the "Mul-tsae." It was In 1923 that a half-hearted attempt was made to put an end to the evil, In that year, the Female Domestic Service ordin- ance was passed In ordergo bring free- dom to the little"girl slaves, After six years, as Lord Passfleld, the Colonial Secretary, says, "the most that can be said is that there Is no reason. to be- lteve that the number of "mui-tsai" in the Colony has increased." The provisions of the Domestic Service Ordinance are mow to be brought into force forthwith. It is also urged by the Colonial Office that the introduction of "Mui-tsai" into the Colony should be made illegal. The defenders of the system fre- quently contend that it is so deeply in- grained into the customs and tradi- tions of Hong Kong that it cannot be abolished. This argument is discount: ed by the fact that the status of "Mul- tsai" has been abolished by law in China. Also, in other parts of the world, when countries have set their hand to the abolition of slavery, it has been proved that where there is a will there js a avay. When Great Britain mandate for Tanganyika from the League of N ons, 185,000 slaves were given their freedom. Quite Fecently, in conformity with the terms of the League's Slavery Convention, about 200,000 slaves were emancipated in Sierra Leone. In Burma, too, the In- dian Government has been sending special expeditions among the wild tribes In order to stamp out slavery and slave-owning. According to In- dia's latest report to the League of Natlons, 8,000 slaves were set at liber- ty last year, and the evil is belleved to be almost at an end. accepted the eset mmm 40 Leaves Required To Produce Apple Washingt Horticulturists Cor uct Experimental Work in Orchards of Paci- fic Northwest; Find Re- serve of Foliage Necessary to Insure Future Crop 1 How many leaves are required 'to produce food enough, to develop a full- grown apple? This Is a question that has attracted the attention of hortl- culturists' in the Department of Agri- culture for several years because of its relation to the practice of thinning apples and pears, Latest results of experimental work carried on with the Washington Ex- periment Station, at Wenatchee, 'Wash., indicate that from forty to fifty well-formed leaves are necessary to develop the fruit and furnish the pro- per amount of food reserve for the growth of the apple. In the experiments it was found that a smaller number of leaves per fruit would produce a fairly satisfactory crop for the year in question but would not produce enough fruit buds for a full crop the following year. There is a fairly definite correlation between number of leaves per fruit and the size of fruit until the ratio reaches at least forty to one. While the size of individual fruits increased with greater leaf surface the increase in fruit volume was not proportional. In other words, thinning the fruit in- creases size but decreases total weight of fruit per tree. To increase production, the experi- ments indicate, it will be necessary first of all to Increase the amount of foliage per tree or per acre. To ob- tain regularity of production the quantity of fruit produced per tree must be sufficiently reduced through thinning to allow the development of fruit buds, which results only from an accumulation of food materials after © needs of the fruit have been met, 'o obtain maximum food development in the leaves a steady supply of mols- ture must be available throughout the growing season. The experiments referred to were nducted In Irrigated orchards in the cific Northwest. Where there is a shortage of water through the latter part of the growing season a larger number of leaves per fruit is required. Although there fs a persistent re- port that the market will be stronger in the spring, many people are refus- ing to take any stock in it. World's Grain Exhibition and Conference for Saskatchewan' s Capital ~ in 1932 \ After some discussion at a repress entative gathering called together by, Hon. Dr. W. R. Mctherwell, Federal Minister of Agriculture, in 1928 it was decided to hold a World's Grain £1. hibition and conference. The capital city of Saskatchewan being in the heart of the largest area in Canada growing immense quanti ties of grain for export seemed to be the logical place for such a gather ing and it was therefore decided to hold this at Regina from July 25th to August 6th, 1932, The cash prizes offered in competd- tion are larger than have ever been offered before. The total amount of the prizes to be given for all kinds of seed is over $200,000. In most of the classes there are fifty prizes. Inf a few of the classes the number of prizes range from forty down to twelve. First prizes are very high ranging from $2500 to $76. "In the wheat section for example the first prize in each class amounts to $3500; the second, $1500; the third, $1000; the fourth $800; the fifth 700; and 80 on down to $50 for the fiftieth. In all of the six classes in the wheat section there are 275 prizes There are sections also with prizes in proportion for oats, barley, corm, rye, buckwheat, rice, millet, fleld peas, soybeans, flax seed, alfalfa, clover, grasses, sunflower, field root seed and garden vegetable seed. The judging of the exhibits will be scientifically and carefully done dur- ing the summer of 1932 as all ex- hibits must be at Regina on or before March 1st of that year. 1932 may seem to be a long way oft but when it is remembered that there is only the céming season and next to produce the seed the time may be very short Indeed. The conference part of this world event will be of immeasurable impor tance to agriculture the world over. 08 mr Canada to Rank Second Largest Gold Producer Timming.--By the end of the cur- rent year the production of gold from the mines of Canada will reach a rate which will give this country the dis- tinction of being the second lar gost gold producting country in the world ~--exceeded only by the enormous gold mining industry established om the African Rand. The situation is one of particularly great importance at this time whem students ot finance and economics are viewing with deep concern a world shortage of this precious metal at the very time when the world as a whole has adopted the gold stanard more universally than ever before in his- tory, Even in the Orient, including India the former sink-hole for an end- less flow of silver, the white metal has been cast aside and has been re- placed by a paper currency based on gold. In 1929, Canadian output of gold was the third largest among the coun- tries of the werld, ranking next to the Rand, and to the United States. The output from the United States was 2,120,000 ounces, according to prelimi. nary reports, while the Canadian outs put was about 1,915,000 ounces. A feature is a steady decline in Uni- ted States production and a steady increase in Canada, The indications are that ithe close of 1930 will find the mines of Canada producing gold at a rate of well over 300,000 ounces greater than in 1929, or at a rate of well over 2,200,000 ounces a year, while the output from the United States may have difficulty in being maintained at over 2,000,600 ounces, Om cn. Empire Free Trade Brisbane Courier: (Will the De- minions agree to Empire Free Trade?) It 1s unquestionable that the British Dominions could do a much greater trade with one another than they do now, and that such an increase of trade would strengthen the whole Em- pire, and each and every part of it. To ask these several parts to change thelr trade policies 1s to ask them to take a most momentous step. For all that the Empire does not make enough of its own resources and by some meang trade within the Empire must be increased. oa Trade With Russia Glasgow Herald (Cons): Trade with Russia, even If it were restored to pre-war level, would be too slight in volume to affect materially this country's internal problems, for it never formed more than a trifilng pro- portion of our imports and exports. And the present condition of Russia does not suggest that she is improv- ing as a potential customer, There is, indeed, something pathetic in the il- lusion which leads the Labour theor- ists to build fantastic hopes on Russia and to Jaawise that a country which is ftaelf in desperate straits can yet bes 8 help to its neighbors. ren reer
