MORGAN Zestful First Course With the -thermometer registering 00, then dropping to the 60's, our ap- petites dither and we hardly know 'What we do want to eat. Consequent iy the first course of summer menus is extremey important. Ice cold bouillon of jelly-ike con- sistency is welcome ou a hot day. Fruit in the form of a cocktail, soup or appetizer is also popular for sum- mer meals. Chilled fish cocktails, vegetable appetizers and vegetable juice cocktails all snake inviting begin- nings for hot weather menus. Careful- ly seasoned and thoroughly chilled, these first courses invite one to forget the weather and eat. Not Too Stiff If it's possible to serve a cold con; coctiou in a well of ice, so much the better. But if this form of service is not convenient, keep the food on ice until ready to serve and always ehiil the service container before filling it with the mixture. Jellied consomme is delicate for hot noons or evenings. Highly seasoned, It stimulates the appetite much as hot soup does. jellied tomato bouillon is appealing with its tart piquancy. It should be quiveringly firm, but not stiff enough to shape. .A. too -stiff jelly is unappetiz- Ing. Crisp wafers are a good accompani- meat for any jellied soup. And radish- es and celery may be served with any- thing but a mixed vegetable soup. Canned soups, bouillon cubes or freshly made stock niay be used for jellied soups. Instead of long cooking and fussing over meat bones trying to -extract the gelatine, try using gelatine, With canned soup or bouillon cubes. This makes a delicious jellied soup which is very easy to prepare. Extra Spice 'Needed Extra salt and pepper are needed for iced bouillon, since very cold foods have a tendency to dull the taste. • Fruit, also, is refreshing and zestful served in one of its many forms. _In Malting a fruit cocktail, be sure to cut fruit neatly in small pieces. Crushed or broken fruit is much less inviting than firm perfect sections. If melon is served as an appetizer do not cover it -with crushed ice, This harms the flavor and is not a really • effectual metliod of chilling. Chill the fruit thoroughly before cutting and serve at once. Boiling Salmon If oil is rubbed on salmon to be boiled and the fish placed in oiled paper the full goodness and color will be retained. .Also add a little vinegar to the boiling water. Fricassee of Veal A few cold scraps of veal, sone thin rashers of bacon, the yolk of an egg, a little parsley, seasoning. First put the pieces of veal through a mincer, then make a sauce by stir- ring 1 oz. flour into 1 oz. hot butter, and gradually adding % pint veal stock. Bring to the boil. Season with pepper and salt, and a pinch of nut- meg. Put in the meat—but only keep it warm; do not let it boil after this:" Cook a few tiny rolls of bacon. Now stir into the sauce the yolk of an egg beaten up with a little lemon jruice and a dessert -spoonful of finely chopped parsley. Serve on a very hot dish, and sur- round with bacon rolls, New potatoes and green peas should -accompany this dish. Vegetable Time -Table To avoid the unpleasant experience of finding part of your dinner ready for the table and the other part merely - half -way cooked, it is a good idea to study the time tables which have been worked out kitchen L,boratories for the benefit of the beginner in cooking, However, there are many factors which must be considered in the cook- ing of meatsand vegetables that time tables eannot specify. The varying maturity, thee from the garden and size of materials cannot be calculated in the making of the time table, ,Young, fresh - gathered vegetables will cook in less time than riper varie- ties. Wilted vegetables will take longer to cook, too, Cut Large Vegetables Small or large vegetables cut' into Antall pieces will cook much quicker. than those left whole, The more sur- face exposed the shorter the cooking period. The time required for pre, paring vegetables for cooking Must be considered in the planning of the whole meal. Green peas should cook, in 20 to 30 minutes. Asparagus cooks quickly and is quickly prepared, Thirty minutes should be allowed for cooking this vegetable. Green beans cut in diamonds should cook in 30 minutes. Remember to cook all green vege- tables uncovered. This keeps them in- vitingly green. New carrots out in slices, cook ten- der in 15 or '20 minutes. Diced they will take longer New beets require only a thorough scrubbing before cooking, and they should cook in 30 to 40 minutes. Bake Potatoes An Hour The method of cooling potatoes de- termines how long it takes to cook. Baked potatoes .need an hour in an oven which registers 400 degrees F. Here again, the size of the vegetable must be considered. Potatoes cut in half lengthwise will usually cook tender in boiling water in 30 minutes. Black Currant Jam Required, 3 ib. black currants, 5 cups water, 6 lb. sugar. Wash currants and put in the preserving pan with the 5 cupfuls of water: Boil for one hour.. Put sugar to warm, and at the end of the hour's, boiling add the warmed sugar to the boiling fruit and boil hard for five minutes. Pour into pots and cover. Advantages over old method: (1) A clean, wholesome jam, eom pletely devoid of leathery skins. (2) Ease -of making; it is only neces- sary to stir when adding the sugar. (3) Economical. This quantity makes 11 lb. jam. • Cookies Here are four recipes of the ever= popular cookie: Rich Cookies -one-half cup butter, 1-3 cup sugar, 1 egg, well beaten, cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, raisins, nuts or cit- ron. Cream butter, add sugar gradually, egg, flour and vanilla. Drop from tip of spoon in small portions on buttered sheet two inches apart. Spread thinly with knife first dipped in cold water. Put four raisins on each cookie, al- monds blanched and cut in strips, or citron out in small pieces. Marguerites Two eggs, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/ cup flour, x/.y teaspoon baking powder, 1-3 teaspoon salt, 1 cup pecan nut meats or walnuts cut in small pieces. Beat eggs slightly and acid remain- ing ingredients iu the order given. Pill small buttered tins two-thirds full of mixture and place, pecan nut on each. Bake iu moderate oven 15 min- utes. Ginger Snaps One cup molasses, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup butter, 1 teaspoon cinna- mon, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon soda. Boil together 8 minutes. Let cool, then add sufficient flour to roll thin. Cut into cookies and bake in moderate oven. Brandy Snaps Three-quarters ib. brown sugar, 1/2 lb. butter, % cup molasses, enough flour to stiffen (about 1 cup). Drop a little off the end of a spoon (some dis- tance apart, because they run.) Cut then apart before they get too cool and curl on a round stick. Vancouver Daily Asserts Man is Gambling Animal "A gamble from his birth •on, by force of necessity, and compelled to gamble with the weather, with acci- dent, with disease, with life and death and with business, is it any wonder that man acquires the habit, and whether for small stakes or great, puts his big or little coin on land or cattle or stocks or commodities ,,or exchange, or on whatever horse has an .attrac five name or whatever card or color takes his fancy," asks the Vancouver Province.

Canadian Scientist Improves Television Super -eye of Ottawa Scientist Said to Perfect Radio Pictures Ottawa,—Invention of a "super eye," which it is claimed will make perfect television possible, revolutionize the speedy transmission of messages and action pictures, and multiply a thous- and -fold the power of telescopes, has been announced here. The inventor is Dr. Francois C. Henroteau, head of the Astrophysical branch of the Do- minion Observatory here. Dr, Henroteau has been working for 10 years on an apparatus which he hoped would facilitate astral observa- tion. It is stated that application of the apparatus to television had not been contemplated until his research disclosed the possibilities 'in that direc- tion. Use of the photoelectric cell is said to be the basis of the invention, which has been patented in the United States after a series of tests. The inventor was indisposed and could not be reached for further de- tails, Dr. Henroteau was the discover- er of the mysterious planet "Y," the planet discovered by the Lowell Ob- servatory in Arizona. • International Boundary Ottawa, Canada.—The international boundary between Canada and the United States conies under the juris- diction and administration of the In- ternational Boundary Commission, which is responsible for maintaining the boundary in a state of effective demarcation. The Commission con- sists of two Commissioners, one re- presenting Canada and one the Tlnl- ted State, Their duties include the carrying into effect ef the provisions of five international treaties.

Golden Text -A woman that feareth Je- hovah, she shall be praised.•-- Prov. 31.30, Time—Birth of Samuel, B.C. 1171. Place-Ramah. Shiloh. Subject—Devout Motherhood, Hannah's Prayer for a Son, .1 Sam. 1: 1-18, The Books of Samuel. The two Books of Samuel were originally one work, as were the two Books of Kings. They are named after the great first prophet, second only to Moses in the history of Israel, the second founder of the nation. An father Unhappy n saEE+lka all who was aruelmem- her of the tribe of Levi, to which was assigned the Cara of the tabernacle SO Shiloh. He was a devout and kind yuan, the noble father of a noble son. Samuel's mother was Hannah, one of the great women of the Bible. Her name, which is the same as Anna, the prophetess of the New Testament, has the appropriate meaning of "Grace." Samuel could have had no better par- ents, and a man's parents have much to do with his making. • Hannah's Vow. "So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk." Hannah ,could not endure to remain at the east, and quietly arose and went off y herself to pray. "Now Eli-. the priest." He was the high priest at the time and served also as judge of the people. "Was sitting upon his seat by the doorpost of the temple of Jehovah." The sanctuary itself was so encased with buildings as to give it the name and appearance of a house o: temple. Here Eli sat on days of religious or political solemnity, and surveyed the worshippers as they came up the eminence on which the sanctuary was placed, "And she was in bitterness of „oul, and prayed unto Jehovah, and wept sore," "And she vowed a v..w." The vow was very common in Hebrew religion. "If thou wilt indeed look on the afflic- tion of thy handmaid." Look on with compassion and in mercy. "And re- member me, aid not forget thy hand- maid." As we go to God in prayer we inay go in the happy certainty that the Lord never forgets us. "But wilt give unto thy handmaid a man -child." We see Hannah's humility in that she calls herself thrice the Lord's servant and slave. We note in this prayer also the low esteem in which girls were held in comparison with boys. "Then I will give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life." The' boy shall be de- voted to life-long service, and *not only for a certain number of years, like the Levite Elkanah. "And them shall no razor come upon his head." Lastly, no razor might come upon his head, the free -growing hair being at once the distinctive mark by which all men `would , recognize his sacred calling, The Birth of. Samuel. In due -time Hannah's prayer was answered, Eli's prophecy was fulfilled, and ' man - child was born to Elkanah and Han- nah. Samuel Taken To Shiloh. "And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her." Probably at the great annual passo-.'er feast. "And brought hire unto the house of Je- hovah in Shiloh." As it was more than three centuries since the con- struction of the tabernacle, the orig- inal tent must have been renewed many times since the days of Moses. "And the child was young" Just how young Samuel was at this time we are not told, but he was old enough to help Eli in the care of the tabernacle. "And they slew the bullock and brought the child to Eli," There were threebullocks, but this is the one spe- cially used in the dedication of Sam- uel. "And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord. I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto Jehovah." The incident, so important to Hannah's life, was sufficiently strik- ing for Eli to be expected to recall it. "For this child I prayed; and Je- hovah hath given me . my petition which I 'asked of him." How few of our prayers really make an impres- si.-i upon us! How, then, can we ex- pect them to make any impression on God? "Therefore also I have granted him o Jehovah." What God has given us, God has a right to. "As long as he liveth he is granted to Jehovah,"Only a mother can understand the depth of Hannah's sacrifice, "And he 'wor- shipped Jehovah there." He, that is, the boy Samuel, thus putting his own child -seal to his mother's gift of him- self to God. "And Hannah prayed, and said." At the close of the dedication, Han- nah, instead ef crying, broke forth into a joyous ode. "My heart exulteth in .Jehovah." Character is most clear- ly disclosed, "My horn is exalted in Jehovah.» It is the seine as saying, My strength conies from the Lord,, 'My mouth is enlarged over .mine ene- mies,' Hannah is no, longer doomed to shamed silence when taunted with childlessness. "i3ecause I rejoice in thy salvation," Hannah- had been sav- ed from her misery, had been helped out of persecution. "There is none holy as Jehovah," Hannah is grateful, "For there is none besides thee. Neither is there any rock like our God." He is the foundation of all things, like the rock - basis of the earth, Wrinkles in Suits Men's Fashion Note Also Buttonless Overcoats Predicted by Designers For Fall Chicago. — Wrinkles are the latest wrinkle in men's suits, A. "boon to bachelors," overcoats sans buttons, and, of course, button- holes, will be taken up enthusiastical- ly by the well-dressed boulevardier this Fall. Men aren't such "saratorial situps" as they used to be. So spake the experts who design clothes for the men of all nations, gathered here for the convention of the International Clothing Designers' Association. George E. Serak, president of the Chicago Club of Clothing Designers, acted as spokesman for the associa- tion's style committee which conferred and discussed present trends and made a few predictions about Autumn fas- hions. The wrinkles in suit coats, he ex- plained, aren't just ordinary ones—not the kind appearing on clothes that have' no alliances with the pressing iron. They are vertical and achieved by the easy cut and drape of the cut. They are on the front of the coat, just inside the shoulders, replacing the former "boiler -plate" effect. The buttonless overcoat has some- what the free and easy lines of a bed sheet. It is fastened about the middle with a belt tied Iike a rope and any knot will do. Wedding Consent Federal Matter Alberta Court Rules Province is Without Jurisdiction Edmonton.—Alberta Court of Appeal has ruled any girl over 12 and any boy over 14 years of age may marry with- out their parents' consent as far as provincial laws are concerned. It de- clared such eases are exclusively under Dominion Government control. The judgment was handed down here during appeal court sittings and followed hearing of a case in which a mother attempted to have the mar- riage of her daughter annulled on the grounds both the daughter and youth- ful husband failed to obtain their par- ents' consent. The girl was 19 years of age and the boy 20. 1 The court held the marriage was valid. Mr. Justice A. A, McGillivray suggested the attorney -general of Al- berta take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada. influx of Tourists To Visit Canada Dominion Ezlhibi; at Chicago Attracting 15,000 Persons Daily Canada is expected to entertain a.1 great or possibly a greater number of tourist visitors this Summer than Iasi year. This optimistic forecast wag made by the publicity branch of the Department of Trade and Commerce. "Residents of Eastern 'United States who are motoring to the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago are re, ported to be mostly visiting Southern Ontario en route," the statement de dared. The Canadian Government stand at the Exposition is being visit- ed by an average of 15,000 persons daily and enquiries as to tourist pas, sibilities in Canada indicate a possible great influx of tourists, "The increasing wave of economic optimism in the United States is also expected to be reflected in an in- creased number of vacationists visit. ing Canada," according to the state went, "In New Brunswick tourists inquiries received at the Provincial Government information bureau have, been greater this season than ever be. fore. In Quebec the tourist traffic pre. vious to June 15 was nearly as great as last year. A greatly augmented volume of United States automobiles is expected to enter Ontario as the season progresses. At Sault Ste. Marie the traffic is re ported approximately the same as Iasi year, while in Western Canada a slight tailing off as compared to last yeat is reported in the first'five mouths of the year. New Body Design For Bluebird Sir Malcolm Campbell Experi' menting with New Style to Boost Speed Mark Daytona Beach Pla. — Experimente with two new body designs for his re. cord -holding Blue Bird racing car are being made by Sir MaicoIm Campbell of England with a view to boosting the land speed mark. In a letter to L. Warren Baker, Florida representative of the Amer', can Automobile Association, the 4 - year -old driver told of proposed alters. - tions he plans for the big machine, which he hopes will enable him to at. tain a five -mile a minute clip. Campbell, who has been blazing a trail of automobile speed records for the past quarter of a century, hung up the present mark of 272 miles an hour in trials here early this year. If either of the two new body de- signs prove satisfactory and he de- cides to rebuild entirely his machine, Campbell said the task could not be 1 completed in time for him to return i this winter. If not, he intimated he would make several alterations on the present body and come back, possibly in January or February, Women Can Take Major Part to Achieve Peace Chicago. --Greater concentration of purpose to achieve world peace was advocated before the International Congress of Women by Miss Winnifred Kydd of Montreal, who was a Cana- dian delegate to the Disarmament Can: ference in 1932. Miss Kydd presented a thought- stirring review of efforts toward dis- armament and peace. Women could take a major part in seeking the goal, she said, despite the fact "world peace is one of the most discouraging things I know of to work for." Dr. Marie Munk, distinguished law- yer and Prussia's first woman judge, pronounced the Treaty of Versailles one of the reasons for the world crisis, and urged women to work fox' its revision. Mining Men of B.C. Pleased at Result Victoria.—The agreement designed to increase the price of silver, initiated by the leading silver producing and consuming countries of the world at Londou, is likely to have far-reaching and beneficial results for British Co- lumbia, according to leading authori- ties. " It is most interesting news, and I am "delighted to learn of it," declared Hon. S. L. Howe, Minister of Mines. "Anything that will raise the price of silver will be of assistance to our min- ing industry." "It is good news," assured S. G. B1ayr- ager of the Consolidated Mining & lock, vice-president and general man - Smelting Co. of Canada, "and will mean a lot to the Slogan and other sil- ver -producing districts in British Co- lumbia."
