And this year the well-dressed woman is inclined to be softly feminine but not elaborate in her dress--just good to look at. And s0 are her cakes, The smart hostess doesn't pile elaborately iced eoncoctions on her table today. She serves perfectly made cake with simple, flavorsome icing. The frosting never looks as if it had been handled or poked in weird shapes and designs, but rather as if it were quickly and cleverly used to top the cake. Those perfect, fine-textured stand- ard butter cakes make into a variety of interesting confections by using unusual frostings. Chocolate is a universal favourite for any sweet dish. Hungarian choco- late frosting can be kept in the re- frigerator until it is needed and then spread on cakes that are still slight- ly warm. This softens the filling so that it will spread more easily. Hungarian Chocolate Frosting 4 squares unsweetened chocolate, cut in pieces 2 tablespoons hot water 2 eggs well beaten 1 cup confectioner's sugar ! 1% cup butter, 'washed in cold water to remove salt' - : Melt chocolate in double boiler, add hot water, and blend. Add eggs' and sugar. Remove from fire, but allow mixture to stand over hot water, stirring constantly until it is slight- ly thickened (3 minutes). Cool quick- ly to lukewarm. Add butter, 2 table- spoons at a time, stirring and blend- ing after each addition. Makes enough filling and frosting to cover tops -and sides of three 9-inch layers. Toasted coconut fruit topping is simply made and must be used at once. Piled on any white cake it makes a delicious sweet "course. 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar 1-8:eup chopped dates Y4 cup: cream, whipped 1 cup premium shred coconut. -Add sugar; to cream; fold in one half the coconut.and dates. Spread on cake and sprinkle with remain- ing coconut. Makes enough topping for 8 x 8-inch cake. Hawaiian Frosting 2 'cups' sugar '1:teaspoon' light corn syrup 2-3 .cup- water 2 egg whites, stiffly 'beaten 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup chopped. raisins % can coconut, Southern style, . chopped Combine sugar, corn syrup, ' and water. Bring quickly to a boil, stir- ring only until sugar is dissolved. Boil rapidly, without stirring, 'until a small amount of syrup forms a long thread when dropped from tip of spon (240 degree F.). Pour syrup in a fine stream over egg whites, 'beating, constantly. Add lemon juice. Continue beating with rotary egg beater 10 to 15 minutes, or until frosting is cool and of con- sistency to spread. Use wooden spoon when too stiff for beater. Fold in raising and coconut. Makes enough frosting' to cover tops and sides of two 9-inch layers, or top and sides of 8 x 8 x 2-inch cake (generously) or about 2 dozen cup cakes. USES FOR SALT Eggs and salt go together whether on the table or in the kitchen cook- ing pots. A cracked egg can be boil- ed successfully by adding a tea- spoonful of salt to the water and the white' will not run out. A pinch of salt should always be added to the water when poaching 'eggs and the cream or white of eggs can be beat- en up far more readily if salt is added. around the other haunts of mice, is a good pre- ventive, as mice do not like the smell of camphor. ~--In-hot weather, when "you are tired and thirsty, after profuse perspiration, when you feel the need of a long, deep drink of water, add a pinch of salt to it. It is the surest, most scientific pre- ventive of heat exhaustion o cramps, If the men are working in the garden or the children are play- ing outside on a hot day, put a little salt in the water they will want to drink when they come in and they will be saved a lot of discomfort and have more energy. and particularly heat TRY THESE TIPS Adhesive will hold shoulder straps in place on an.evening gown, as well as repairing a when bones feel inclined to slip out. And it can be a real life saver when the tip comes off shoes laces. wind a little adhesive frayed shoe lace and see how easily it slips into the eyelets, corset, especially Just around the If there are a lot of bottles resting on a slippery glass shelf, it is a good notion to apply strips of ad- hesive to the bottom of the bottles so that there will be no chance of slipping and breaking. This goes for vases or any other objects that rest on highly polished surfaces. If you store clothes or household articles in ordinary cardboad boxes it is a good idea to hermetically seal down with adhesive so that there will be no danger of dust or moths get- ting in. Leave a piece of the tape beyond the edge of. the box so that you can get a. grip "on.it when you want to open the box again. the sides Adhesive tape should be wrapped around the handles on ash cans or pails or anything heavy which must be handled. It can be used to repair a mattress or a canvas sleeping cot and will keep a rope from ravelling. It will hold curtain drapes in place and will repair shades and window awnings, Adhesive will mend broken or cracked linoleum and can be used as a binding edge on a carpet that has been cut. It is a good idea to tape the bottom of a rocking chair to pre- vent skidding and adhesive will keep heat pads in place as well as taping back the protruding ears of a child. Adhesive can be used to mend dog collars as well as forming the inner lining on rough collars. good hinge for a small box and can be used to repair and to insulate hammers in bells.

Protecting The Finger When necessary to do quite a bit of paring of fruit or vegetables, pro- tect the forefinger from both stains and cuts by wrapping a strip of ad- hesive around it. Watch The Eyes If your child has to hold the book, he is reading closer than fourteen inches, the chances are his eyes are being strained. The remedy is eye- glasses or better lighting, or both. - The Sewing Machine After the sewing machine has been thoroughly eiled use a thin blotter and stitch a few rows through it to take away any surplus 'of oil that may have been left around the needle mechanism. Er Scorched Dishes If dishes have been scorched or burnt, let them stand for a day in a solution of borax water, then wash with soap and water, and the brown stains will disappear.

The bread will be as fresh as desir- ed. Patching Plaste The usual trouble one has when patching holes in the wall is that the plaster of Paris or matching plaster, sets too quickly when mixed with water. But this will not happen if vinegar is uged to mix it instead of water. | Protecting The Yard Dogs and cats will not bother the evergreens, shrubs and flowers if the following spray is used about every two weeks. To one gallon of water add 1% teaspoonfuls of diluted nicotine sulphate. The commercial' preparation usually:contains about 40. per cent. nicotine sulphate. Keep Farm Accounts To the many obvious reasons for keeping farm accounts should be add- ed the folowing one, at least under present conditions, according to of- ficials of the Field Husbandry Divis- ion. Farmers seeking credit are be- ing required to furnish an increas- ing amount of information. A state- ment of net worth as obtained from a farm account book is the basic credit statement. In addition, bor- rowers may be required to furnish a budget of expenses and income in order to arrive at a schedule of bor- rowing and repayments. Without adequate records of his farm busi- ness the borrower cannot do himself justice to represent his application in the most favourable light. Furthermore, over a period of sev- eral years farm account books bring out an increasing number of useful facts. The records sugest that differ- ent fields need different soil treat- ment. They give definite standards of performance in the use of feeds. in the production of butterfat and other livestock products, and do much to change the yearly plans of the farmer from a matter of chance and guesswork into reasonable plans based on demonstrated facts and re- lationships.

COLDEN TEXT--Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation, Mark 16 : 15, . LJ LJ THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time and Place -- The twelfth chapter of Genesis records and event occurring B.C. 2083. Jonah carried on his prophetic ministry principally in B.C. 862. The appearance of Christ here given from Matthew's Gospel occurred in the late spring of A.D. 30, in Galilee. The passages taken from the Book of Acts record events occurring in Jerusalem, An- tioch, Asia Minor, Macedonia, and Caesarea. * * LJ "They therefore, when they were come. together, asked him, saying." The verb asked is in the imperfect active, indicating that they repeated- ly asked before Jesus answered. "Lord, doest thou at this time re- store the kingdom to Israel?" See Luke 24 : 21, As a matter of fact, the Messianic kingdom, for which they were asking, is a political king- dom that would throw off the hated Roman yoke. "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or sceagpns." The first word, times, may w be taken to mean space of time as such, the duration of the Church's history, and (the second), the critical periods in that history. "Which the Father 'hath set" within his own authority." The marginal reading is probably the clearer: Which the Father hath appointed by his own authority. In these words the meaning of ~ which, when taken in their connection, is as plain as day, our Lord Jesus ab- solutely forbade even His inspired apostles, and much more us, to seek to penetrate the domain of 'dates in connection with His coming and His kingdom. : "But ye shall receive power." They were thinking of his power over Gentile nations; he was concerned for their power over the world, the flesh, and the devil. in a - personal ministry. "When the Holy Spirit is come upon you." The power which the early disciples received at Pente- cost was an enduement equally for the service of speech and silence, for suffering and sacrifice. The power of the Spirit as receivable by each in- dividual believer in just strength to do the present will of God. "And ye shall be my witnesses." A witness is one who has seen that to which he bears witness, is able ac- curately and truly to appraise its value, .and is able also to communi- cate what he has seen. "Both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaca and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." This verse is a table of contents to the book of the Acts of the Apostles. The whole book is a description of the fulfill- ment of this promise: the Spirit given; the witness-bearing begun in Jerusalem by Peter. "Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there." Antioch of Syria, where the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11 : 26). Here begins the first great mission- ary journey of Paul, where Gentiles in large numbers had first been united to the Church. "Prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger." The latter a Jew, not mentioned elsewhere in the New Testament. "And Lucius of Cyrene." Perhaps the one referred to in Rom. 16 : 21. "And Manaen, the foster- brother of Herod the terarch, and saul." What different nationalities to be found in a Church so young! "And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said." Speaking 'to and through the prophets who were there. Ideal con- dition of every church--directed by the Spirit of God. "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whéreunto I have called them." The 'inward eall was now sanctioned by the outward call of the Church, in- spired by the Holy Spirit. See Rom. 1:1; Gal. 1 : 15, "Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away." A striking parallel is that of Luke 6 : 12, 13. A solemn service of dedication and or- dination. "So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit." "Went down to Seleu- cia," The seaport of Antioch. "And from thence they sailed to Cyprus." Near Syria, the home of Barnabas (Acts 4 : 36). See also Acts II : 19, 20, "And when they were at Salamis." At the eastern end of Cyprus, the nearest port for voyagers from Seleucia. "They proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews." It was St, Paul's habit in- variably to go to the synagogues first (9 : 20; 14 : I, etc.). "And they had also John as their attendant." John Mark, the author of the second Gospel, nephew of Barnabas. "And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer." The Magi- an represented in his single person- ality both the modern fortune-teller and the modern man of science; no strict line could be drawn between lawful honorable scrutinizing of the secret powers of Nature and illicit attempts to pry into them for sellsh ends, between science and magic, tween astronomy and astrology. "A false prophet. a Jew." Not a prophet who truly was sent of God, but who only pretended to speak as one. "Whose name was Bar-Jesus." His Jewish name. "Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus." The governor of the province. "A man of understand- ing." Not a devout man, not wise enough to do without a wizard, but of an inquiring mind, ready to hear the truth. "The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God." Incidents could be given by all missionaries of the longings they have discovered in the hearts of mer to hear what God has to say. "But Elymas." A word meaning wise, and prohably a self-assumed designation. "The sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) with- stood them." He opposed their preaching, as Jannes and Jambres, the magicians of Egypt, had with- stood Moses, and as men in the last days will withstand divine truth (2 Tim. 3 : 8). "Seeking to turn aside the proconsul from-the faith." In every land, especially as the gospel first is preached, are Satanically energized men who bitterly resist the truth of God's grace, and the "But Saul, who is also Paul" (the first occurrence of this name), "filled with the Holy Spirit." Here read the promise of Christ to his disciples concerning occasions such as this one (Luke 21 : 14, 15). "Fastened his eyes on him, 10. And said, O full of all guile" (deceit) "and all villany." This last word is from a word meaning one who does a thing with little effort and ad- roitly; then, in a bad sense, a man who is facile and forward in the perpetration of crime, a knave, a rogue. "Thou son of the devil." Cf. John 8 : 44; 17 : 12. "Thou enemy of all righteousness." "Wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" Apparently it had been his life for years to keep men from hearing and accepting the truth: tere are many like him today, and g ime in our own country, in places of influence, especially in our col- leges and universities. "Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being as- tonished at the teaching of the Lord." THE ZYAT KISS--Green Orchids A "Fu Manchu no doubt has a sip the éraatice.

Us called moi t and_to spend half its life in Imprints Found In Pennsyl- vania Made Millions Of Years Ago years ago: a creature wallowed in the mud of what is now Northern Pennsylvania. As it crawled away it left its tracks. The mud hardened into rock, As he clambered among in the hills of Southern New York and Northern Pennsylvania, D. H, Hard- ing, who happens'to be not only the local photographer of Lanesboro, Pa., but an amateur geologist, saw those tracks, He cut out .a whole slab of them and sent it to Cornell. Scrutinizing the tracks carefully with the practiced eye of a pale- ontolpgist, Dr. K. E. Caster of that university decided that the imprints were of the highest scientific im- portance. They were made by the oldest toes in the world. Some creature like a primordial horseshoe crab left these petrified imprints, say a few experts on fos- sils, basing their conclusions on the patterns in the rock, the hitching gait, the tail mark. the vague out- line of a head. But Dr, Caster holds that this fossil spoor testifies to something still more primitive. He conjures up a vision of an animal which was a sort of missing link -- a cross between something still finny and something that was the ancestor of us all. "Paramphibius" he calls it, which means "almost a land and water dweller." Reconstructing the Creature Listen to Dr. Caster as he de- scribes a creature that must be re- constructed, with such aid as pale- ontology can give, from nothing but its footprints: ) The animal was possibly six or eight inches long. Occasionally he walked so closely to the ground that his belly markings were impressed in the mud, and commonly dragged his tail. If Paramphibius was an amphibian he may have looked much like a large present-day salamander. He moved mostly under water, but he could crawl out on land. Presumably, he was still more at home in water than on land. If he was an amphibian, a creature that lived now on land, now in water, he was the great-great granddaddy of all other land ani- mals that have toes, and that in- cludes us loo. View these tracks with respect, then. Paramphibius was a fishlike thing that tried to live on land but could not do so entirely because of his structure. Imagine a fish which has trans- formed its floating bladder or air bag into a sort of Jung so that it can breathe directly from the at-- mosphere. What good is a fish on land? There are lung fishes today that show what happened. Process of Development It took millions of years before a real land animal could develop from this half-fish. His crude fore feet, still much like fins, became our hands. His real feet were bettor adapted for walking. In the process volution the body had to be kept water. Our toads, frogs, newts and salamanders are such double-dwell- ers still. Lung fishes were their an- cestors, as they were of this un- known Paramphibius, which had already ceased to be a true fish. Out of him came the reptiles -- the giant dinosaurs and out of the dino- saurs came the birds and out of the birds, hairy, warmblooded ani- mals. . Prostrate yourself before Param- phibius. He is the immediate ances- tor of all higher creatures--of man himself. He bridged the gap be- tween the backboned creatures of the land and the fishes in the sea. A creature still older came before him--a creature that existed at least half a billion years ago, when the land of the earth was a steaming jungle, even to what is now the frozen Arctic. Out of him came man and civilization in a slow upward climb in which gills became lungs, fins became fingered hands and toed legs, and something that was little more than a ganglion of nerves in the head became a thinking brain, The end is not yet. "Who can say what old Mother Nature, some- thing of a jokester, may evolve out of our great-great grandchildren a million years from now," muses Dr, Caster.
