© : rom CL Re WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 35, 1918 ocial Happenings North Shore by Ruth Risley = NDEPENDENCE DAY this year has a significance more pro- found than at any time since July 4, 1776. A great number from the north shore have planned to attend the soldiers' athletic carnival at Camp Grant, others are going to the Great Lakes, although their big celebration was held on Wednesday afternoon. At Camp Grant there will be a great military spectacle, unique of its kind, serving as a sort of "send off" to the Eigthy-sixth Division, an army corps, which will probably soon be on its way to France, under command of General Charles Martin. The proceeds from this affair division with athletic equipment be a parade, by the entire division, an exhibition of "broncho bust- | ing", a baseball game between Camp Grant and Fort Dodge, boxing | contests, the Illinois Centennial pageant, and fireworks, as attrac- tions ; and aside from all of those highly exciting things the soldiers will be at liberty to escort their rifle range, Y. M. C. A. and K. of C. huts, bakeshops, and other points of interest in the camp. & will be devoted to providing this for use over there.

Reverend E. Ashley Gerhard Black's only attendant was little York, and Robert Sanse, also of New York, served the groom as best man. The bride wore a lovely gown of white satin, and carried a shower bouquet of white lilies and sweet peas. Mr. and Mrs. Livingston 'are spending their honeymoon in New York where they will make their home permanently. &- read the service.

Instead of the custom- ary concert by the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra, the park was given over to our boys from Fort Sheridan and the Great Lakes, who presented their own program. The Great Lakes band played dash- ing military music for two hours, then the jackies gave a drill and sham battle, followed by a corking good baseball game between the Ar- my and the Navy. At six o'clock the women of Ravinia club served sup- per to the 1800 men in uniform, who ition 'taken in to enjoy the .p: : between the Ariny ¢ y will | 1 N | be repeated next Satu vy and the public' 1s invited to be present and | furnish the ap i { 11 e aft . | Th 1 1 s north | carts ; fternoon, where wundred children with almost as many mothers revelled in the de- : Fr ks of fairyland.

The following | tables of equivalents will help to conserve: Fqual measures of flour differ in weight. For this reason use the foi- | lowing table: for one (1) cup of | white use 174 cup of barley flour. 134 cup of cornmeal. 34 cup of buckwheat. 1 cup of corn flour. 34 cup of rice flour. 34 cup of oat flour. 2/3 cup of potato flour. Oat flour is made by grinding oat- meal in a coffee mill or food chop- per. A combination of flours gives a better flavor and texture than when one is used alone. Example: Barley and oat; rice and barley. Substitute flours require more salt and longer cooking than wheat flour. Thickening. Corn starch, rice flour and potato flour have double the thickening power of wheat flour in making white sauce, etc. - Barley, riye and corn flour have about the same thickening power as wheat flour. Corn flour must be cooked longer. Leavening. yout | Rye and barley flour contain less gluten than wheat. Other flours have little or no ad- hesive substance.
