WOMAN'S' WORLD PANCAKES Golden brown pancakes always have an appeal all their own and When served piping hot with saus- ages, bacon or maple syrp there are bound to be no left -overs. Here are some exceLent'tried-in-the-blue re- cipes:— YEAST BUCKWHEAT CAKES One-half cake cotnPressed yeast. % cup lukewarm water, 3 more caps • warm water, 3 cups buckwheat, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons sugar, 3 teaspoon soda. Soften yeast cake in % cup luke- warm water. When throughly dis- solved add salt, sugar and 21/3 cuPs warm water. Add buckwheat flour and mix until perfectly smooth. Cover and let stand in a warm Place over night. In the morning dissolve soda in remaining half cup of water and beat into batter. Let stand for hot, well -greased griddle. The batter should be quite thin and runny. Buckwheat cake requires a hotter griddle tha^ cornmeal or wheat cakes Some of the batter may be saved and used as a "starter" for another baking instead of using a fresh yeast cake; They are even better after the first day as the "seed" seems to ripen and produces a better cake. QUICK BUCKWHEAT CAKES One and one-half cups buckwheat Baur, % cup wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 5 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon melted shortening, 1 egg, 2% cups sweet milk. Mix dry ingredients. Add milk slowly, stirring to make smooth. Add beaten egg and beat until smooth. 'Add melted shortening and beat one minute. Bake on a hot, well -greased griddle. SWEET MILK CAKES Three cups flour, 11/ tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 cups milk, 1 egg, 2 table- spoons melted butter. Mix and sift dry ingredients; beat egg, add milk and pour slowly on first mixture. Beat thoroughly and add butter. Drop by spoonfuls on greased hot griddle. Cook on one side. When puffed full of bubbles and cooked on edges, turn and cook other side. Serve with butter and maple syrup. CORN GRIDDLE CAKES Two cups flour, % cup cornmeal, 11% tablespoons baking powder, 11 teaspoons salt 1 3 1 P cup n su ar g %. cope ` boiling water, 11/4 cups milk, 1 egg 2 tablespoons melted butter, Add meal to boiling water and boil 5 minutes; .turn into bowl add milk end remaining dry ingredients' mixed end sifted, then the egg well beaten and butter. Cook same as sweet milk cakes. SOUR MILK CAKES Two and half cups flour, 34 teaspoon salt, 2 cups sour milk, 11/4 teaspoons soda, 1 egg, Mix and sift flour salt and soda; add sour milk and egg well beaten. Drop by spoonfuls on hot griddle and proceed as for sweet milk cakes.. BREAD CRUMB CAKES These griddle cakes use stale bread crumbs to advantage. One and one-half cups fine stale bread crumbs, 2 .cups hot milk, 2 tablespoons, butter, 2 eggs, 4 cup flour 34 teaspoon salt, 31/ teaspoons baking powder. Combine crumbs and milk and beat until smooth. Mix and sift flour, salt and baking powder and add with re- maining ingrediepts. Beat egg until light before Combining *Atli butter. Bake on a hot griddle and Serve hot. POTA'T'O .GRIDDLE CAI MS Two cups grated raw potato, 2 eggs, 2-3 cup flour, 1' teaspoon salt, 1 tea - moon baking powder, 4 tablespoons milk. - Pare potatoes and let stand in cold water for several hours. Drain and Irate. Beat eggs well and add, grated botato. Mix and sift flour, salt and aking powder and add to first mix- ture.-Beat ix-Lure. Beat well and add milk gradual- ly. Drop from tip of spoon onto well Greased griddle. Bake until brown first on one side and then on the other. Serve hot. . RICE GRIDDLE CAKES Two and half cups flour, 3;, cup cold Cooked rice, 1 tablespoon baking )owder, 3a teaspoon. salt, 4 cup au- /tn gar, 1% cups milk 1 egg, 2 table- spoons melted butter. Mix and sift ingredients; work in rice with tips of fingers; add egg well beaten, milk and butter. Cook same as other griddle cases. Some of the varieties of griddle cakes which we have borrowed from European countries are substantial enough for main dishes. The addition of meal or vegetables change them from a bread substitute to a hearty concoction to serve with gravy. FOR SUPPER Late suppers are very popular in the winter, after ski-ing, snowshoeing or tobogganing and the more informal they are the smarter—the main thing is food and friendliness, and if the former is right the other takes care of itself. One of the nicest and easiest things you can serve after outdoor sports or for after the game or theatre supper is pancakes. They are easily and quickly made and may be served in a variety of delicious ways to suit the occaion or to add variety. One particularly appropriate way to serve pancakes for supper is to sprinkle the hot pancakes with grated cheese, which will melt and give them a delightful Savor. Serve with jelly. They may also be served with fruit sauces, preserved or fresh fruit, or in the good old-fashioned way with maple syrup, or combined with saus- ages or bacon. SUPPER The English method of serving plain wheat cakes adds interest to a company breakfast or Sunday even- ing supper. The cakes are baked as large as supper plates and are spread as they aro baked with butter and jelly or butter and sugar or butter and marmalade and are piled one above the other. They must be kept warm until all are baked. Cut in wedge-shaped pieces, pie fashion to serve. French pancakes are spread with butter and jelly creamed together and rolled quickly like a jelly roll. Each roll is dredged with powdered sugar. The finishing touch is added by scor- ing the sugar by burning with a red- hot poker. The. poker, was careful- ly cleaned carefully. The cakes are quite as good without this last pro- cedure, but they look quite intriguing and unusual, BUSINESS GIRLS The business girl has beauty pro blemsthat the woman of leisure never � has to meet. When good grooming is urged upon' her she is likely to say, "Yes, but I - go to work in the rain many ,mornings and arrive at the office with gloves and stockings cover- ed with mud and water stains. What if I did wash everything out last night? No one ever would know it!" It's a handicap but a little ingenuity and foresight will overcome it. . Keep extra pairs of clean gloves, hose and one or two fresh handker- chiefs in the desk drawer, along with cleansing lotion, foundation cream, cotton pads and a bit of powder and rouge. A clothes brush and a brush for suede shoes are other conveni- ences to add to the freshening -up list. • . When it conies to white collars and cuffs, the problem is harder. Certain- ly it would seem a little inconvenient to keep an entire wardrobe at the office ,in order td appear always per- fectly groomed. However, there's nothing to prevent carrying these ac- cessories in a paper bag arid 'pinning' them on after arrival. A FASHION NOTE New Spring shoes, by all appear- auceS, have come down to •earth. 1934's Easter kootety features lower heels' for which most of us will offer sincere thanks to .the fashion gods. How eau we wear the preset styles gracefully if our walk is, impeded 11y. totterting high heels? •Comfortable feet means at -ease carriage. Colors end fabries are the near item of importance. Navy blue, yellowish Ipoivn, prints and Paisleys, depending on the costume to be matched. FABRICS FEATURE Pairs Beach cloth, gabarine, silk crepes and tweedish linens' for street and afternoon shoes. For evening there are satins, hand -painted linens and linens, Becapse the fabrics have CHAMPION SHOT Charm May Be Cultivated In the Training of a Child You're looking into . the bulls - eye -shooting rifle of Miss Mary Wettach, who has. been de- clared U. S. national intercol- legiate women's rifle champion, bows, buckles and gadgets have been dispensed with. It sounds and looks like we have at last simplicity in line, plus comfort. and that is the secret of charm and style. What say you? Trade Gain Is Recorded Favorable Balance of $143,• 421,473 Shown By Canada Ottawa.—Canada had a favorable trade balance of $143,421,473 for the 12 -month period ending with January as compared with $51,000,000 in the preceding 12 months, it was reported recently by the Department of Trade and Commerce. TOTAL IS HIGHER. • Total trade was $961;630,577, `was. -, against $937;717,202. ' Exports in creased from $494,000,000 000 to - 552 $ , 000,000, white imports decreased from $422,000,000 to $408,000,000 in .the 12 -month period reviewed. The trade figures continue to 'show a more rapid increase in trade with the jBritish Empire than with foreign coup - tries. Sales to the Empire were nearly $42,000,000 more' than in the twelve months ended January 31, 1933, while purchases from the Empire increased by only $7,800,000. Exports to the United Kingdom were $215,422,193, an increase of about $34,500,000 over the previous twelve months, and imports from the United Kingdom amounted to $100,032,820, an increase of $7,541,875. ANTIPODEAN TRADE. Parents Have a Great Responsibility in Encouraging Natural Sweetness and Tact Little children are charming. Charm schools are doing nothing more than trying to restore the unconscious grace and naivete that most of us have lost between the ages of four and fourteen, plus tact, of course. • But the charm we have to have tatight us in later years is more or less a spurious article. It is merely top varnish. I-Iow much better it would have been had we been encouraged through child- hood to keep those graces that were ours by right. Too Many Restrictions. Take any child who not only has to elbow his way with his schoolmates, but has a job on his hands at home with his or her parents, and how much time has he for pleasantness and kind- ness and real manure? Everywhere he turns it seems he is confronted with a "Don't" or some 'order or other that affronts every spon- taneous urge in his system, We call it civilizing him. Of course we have to do -it. to prepare him for social life. He can't grow up and be a savage. Nevertheless, it is true that our overly -artificial system with children does destroy as well as build. If we older people had to conform to as many conventions foreign to our natures as children do, it would sap all the sweet- ness out of us. We would live in a per- petual state of chafing and resentment. We would shout, "To heck with charm. I have enough to remember without trying to be a sugar plum, too." There is another thing that ruins the little child's charm early. This is the example of older people about him. Which of us would think it worth while to be pleasant in a menagerie? And some homes are just about that— the various members of the family growling and snarling at each other all day long like so many animals. Almost any animal has his counterpart in the human. The lion who roars his rights, the dangerously cunning tiger, the laughing hyena whom we fear more even than the others. The lumbering boar with the thick hide stolidly in- different to anyone but itself. The bleating sheep that can't stand up for itself and who manages, as it has done through history, to get everybody else into a tight place. Cultivating "Charm". A child loses sweetness in a house- hold that has forgotten the word. To tell him to mind his manners and be- have nicely is just so.much lost breath. A boy can tip his hat until his arta aches, but this isn't charm. Charm has to be in his heart. A girl can courtesy and whistle up a smile for effect, but this isn't charm if here are a hundred hates in her soul. The boy and the girl have to like people; they must feel that the world is a decent place, not something to fight. And they must feel that they count with oher people just as other people count with them. No one wants a grinning nit -wit around muttering to himself, "I must be charming." Heaven forbid( But we do need more genuine, likeable boys and girls who think this world is a good place and show it. Then watch rudeness vanish and na- tural manners grow. many by $200,000. Sales to France dropped by $2,000,000, to Belgium by $800,000. As against exports to Rus- sia in the previous 12 months of $1,- 815$,000, in the last year they almost disappeared. As an indication of the extent to which the lifting of the United Stataes of quota restrictions upon Canadian products has stimulated the direct flow of liquor across the border, the move- ment of spirits to St. Pierre and Mique- lon, the French colonies in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, has declined by one-half. For the year ended January 31 last they totalled $4,670,000, as compared with $8,760,000 in the previous 12 Months. Sunday School. Lesson THE RISEN CHRIST. -John: 20 1-16.

"Cometh Mary Magdalene ear - show a notable improvement.

She came with the. other women, as related above, but instantly sepa- rated from them when she saw what had happened, being a woman of quick action and- perhaps younger than the rest and more agile. "While it was yet dark." This explains why she did not enter the tomb, as the others did. 'Unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tohnb."That was enough to suggest to'her that something momentous had occurred, something about which the apostles hould know at once. "She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter." ' Probably the old- est ldest of the apostles, one whom Christ had especially honored, and one who by his decisiveness of character (Mary Probably, knew nothing about his de- nial of his Lord) was most fitted to take the lead at this juncture. "And to the other disciple whom Jesus lov- ed." John never names himself or relatives in his Gospel, being far too modest, but this description of the relation between htnsel.f and his Sav- iour is a biography in itself. "And saith unto them." We can almost note the Panting excitement of her speech. "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb." She inferred this from the open door; for what other purpose would it have been opened? "They" means of course Christ's foes; his friends would never have committed such an act of sacrilege. "And we know not where they have laid him." "We" means Mary and the other wo- men whom she had left behind. "Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple." John still carefully pre- serves his anonymity. And they went toward the tomb." We may im- agine the dawn beginning to break. "And they ran both together." Both being eager to see what new out- rage had been perpetrated against their beloved Lord. "And the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb." Being so much the younger, ger, John could run much faster. "And stooping and looking in." For the door of the cave -tomb was low. "He seeth the linen cloths lying." The cloths readily recognized as being Christ's grave cloths. "Yet entered he not." This was characteristic of John. In his Profound reverence he hesitated to break the peace of the sacred place. "Somali Peter therefore also com- eth, following him, and entered into the tomb," There was no ohoesoita- tion in the conduct of the bold and decisive disciple. "And he beholdeth the linen cloths lying." The cerements were folded uP carefully. "And the napkin, that was upon his head, not Iying v,-ith the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself." This description conveys irresistibly to the minds of some scholars the im- pression of a chrysalis, from which the body has removed itself, leaving the useless shell in the shape of the body. , "Then entered in therefore the oth- er disciple 'also, who came first to the tomb." John, of course, who will go to any extent to avoid the first Personal pronoun. "And he saw, and believed." That Christ had risen from the dead; as the. next verse shows. "For as yet they knew not the scripture, that. he must rise again from the dead." The Old Testament says little about immortality, hardly enough to make it a- burning convic- tion in Jewish minds. Ps. 16 : 10 de- clares that the Messiah was not to remain in the graveand Christ had repeatedly foretold his resurrection on the third day; but the Prophecy seems to have made a greater impression on the minds of Christ's foes than on the minds of the disciples. "So the disciples went away again unto their own home." To Peter's lodging in Jerusalem (Luke 24:12), though John had a house of his own la! the. Holy City (John 10 : 27). "But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping." :She was over- come by the sad memories surround- ing the Place. "So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb." Possibly she thought the Lord's body was still there, but moved out of sight„ "And she beholdeth. two angels in. white," Clad in dazzling pure rain,:. exit, such as angels are usually repre- sented as wearing. "Sitting, one at the head, and one at the foot, where the body of Jesus had lain," They were sitting on the stone slab, engag- ed in rapt contemplation and joyful memories of all that the Son of God had done for the world. "And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou?" A question suit- able to be asked of all who are bur- dened with sorrow for lost ones. Are not our tears selfish, concerned only with our loss and not with the gain of our dear ones? "She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid t7i1Y1." �''h' lu el rothroat( ;p the honorahle burial aceorded Christ's body by the senator, Joseph of Arim- athaea, and she feared that her Sa- viour's body had been cast out. "When she had thus said, she turn- ed urn ed herself back." Becoming conscious as one will of the presence of, some one whom she had not seen. "Antj beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus." Death had in some way transformed our Lord'i countenance. "Jesus saith unto her. Woman why weepest thou? •whom seekesi thou?" We have here the first re corded words of the risen Christ "She supposing him to be the gar dener." The tomb was in a garden and Mary supposed the stranger tt be the one in charge there. "Saith un to him, Sir, if thou hast borne hilt hence." Mary may have thought that the gardener regarded the new total as much too good for a crucified crim• inal. "Tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away." A hard task for a woman to undertakes but love shrinks at no hardship. "Jesus saith unto her, Mary." HMV much tenderness was Put into tha4 word! "She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew." That is, in Az* amaic, the current form of Hebrew used by Christ. "Rabboni; which is VI say, Teacher." Literally, "My Rabbi.* "More exactly, 'Rabbuni; This pre. rise form occurs also in Mark 10 : 5L Book Published in 1573 Shows It Had Been Grown Many Years Washington.—Long before Captain John Smith and his Jamestown 'pion• eers discovered corn on the cob, Chinese mandarins were eating it. And several years before Miles Standish at( succotash, the combination had a plact on the Oriental menu. Indian maize, although a native of the western world, was prominent in the agriculture of the East many yeart before English settlers attempted to raise it. According to a photostatic copy of an ancient Chinese book, published is 1573, received by Dr. Walter T, Swingle of the Agriculture Departmen( from the Chinese National Library in Peiping, corn had at that time been grown in China for years. Dr. Swingle, who is conducting a study of maize culture for the Library of Congress, said the book revealed maize as the "imperial grain of China." Evidence, he added, pointed to its in- troducton from the west through Tur- kestan or Tibet. It is Likely, the official disclosed, that Spaniards discovered maize in the New World, probably South and Central Amerce, and carried it back to Spain, Arabs then carried the grain to Mecca, from where it apparently spread east- ward through Central Asia to China. Oshawa's Power Bill Has Credit of $7,098 Oshawa.—The 13th power bill foa Oshawa P.U.C. brings a credit of $7; 098.57 from the Qntario Hydro Com mission. Local commissioners breath ed a sigh of relief when the bill was received, for last year the 13th bill was in the form of a debit of ovea $9,000. The committee, however, hat a large deficit in the electrical de partment which will be reduced to slightly over $21,000.
