Niagara .Falls, Canticles SERVAL STORY CALI 3A FROM CALEB BY NORMAN KAHL `..AST WEEK: Miss Margate lures out to be Adoreen Mickle- letidge, who has changed her marine after getting a job as night sub .singer. She has softened to- ena d Angus, because the publicity hia arrest gave her was respon- sible for her getting the job. She gets &anm out of jail but is too busy to see flim because of dates with her new boss, Carvin Fitzwater. Angus drifts into a tavern to drink ginger ale, where Spike Mudge of- feu'a him a job "protecting" broc- coli dealers. Agus Is dumbfound- ed to learn the eatery is $125 a « « « ADDLE MUST BE SAVED CHAPTER VI By the time Angus buys a shirt, a, tie and a new suit for $18.75, and finds himself a room on West 7e3rd street for $4.50 a week, it is atter dark and he decides the best way to tell Adoreen atbout his job is to go to the place where she worts and surprise her. .An.gvs has never known any- body who earned $125 a week, and there is no doubt whatever in his mind that the metre mention of the sum will cause Adoreen to loaake instant arrangements for a wedding ceremony. Not that Ador- men would marry him oa' anybody else just for money. But she will know that Angtis is a. success and capable of getting g, long anywhere -including New York. 1i.ngus doesn't exactly like to admit it but he is a little curious about this place where Adoreen works—curious about Aroreen's slinging and this Mr. Garvin Fitz- water, who has got so much busi- ness to talk over with Adoreen at kind' every day. It is 7.30 ou the dot when Angus reaches tile Purple Pelican. He is surprised to find the place prac- tically deserted. A dimply hat - check blond, wearing something that looks like a bathing suit with red ruffles, steps toward Angus with a store-bought smile. She takes one look at the cap in his hand, drops the smile and says, "Peddlers around the kitchen en- trance." "But I'm not a peddler, M'am," says Angus, blushing furiously and refusing to look at the wide ex- panses of powdered flesh which the girl makes no attempt to con- ceal. "I'm a customer. I make good money and I came to enjoy myself." o „ e The girl sniffs. Then, sensing teouible, she puts two dainty fings ers between her teeth and whis- ties. A gent who is busting out of a monkey suit comes running. The blond jerks her thumb toward An- gus and the bouncer nods under- standingiy. "All right,' Lays the bouncer to Angles. "Just go xllietly and there won't be nD troubie.1 "I don't want to go. �T oaane here to see things, and I'm stay - in'. Where's everybody Don't look like much business." Tile bouncer is patient. A little diversion is always welcome, "Things don't start around here until 11. And anyway, you can't come i s. with those clothes. You gotta be dressed." Angus bristles. "I don't like you to talk that way about me. This is a new suit. I wants go in and wait until 11, if that's when things be- gin, although it seems pretty late to me, Seems most decent folks are in bed by then." The bouncer moves menacingly CNA PION PLOWMEN TAKE TRIP BY PLANE The Salads TeaCompany's. Championship class at theInternational Plowing Match held near Peterborough .last Fall brought together top rank horse plowmen from all parts of the Province. Elmer Armstrong of .St. Pauls (right), Gold Medallist and Marshall Deans, Paris (left), Silver Medallist, accompanied by W. C. Barrie of Galt, are seen ready to board a plane commencing the valuable trip that was offered as first arid second prizes. Time being an important factor to agriculturists, they elected to travel by air and within nine days they visited such points as Winnipeg, Portage La Prairie, Regina, Van- couver and Lethbridge. One of the highlights of their journey was the stop off at Portage La Prairie where they participated in the Manitoba Provincial Plowing Match, June 24th. At experimental stations they visited and at meetings they attended, they were afforded the opportunity of exchanging and studying new ideas, particularly labour-saving devices and other aids toeater efficiency on the farm. The trip was arranged by Mr. J. A. Carroll, �arxoll, Manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association. Plowing Matches which are conducted by local branches through- out the country, play an important part in the production of food for war, for they encourage the better plowing and cultivation of the land so essential for maximum production. SUMMER DAYS ARE PICNIC DAYS Bs( BARBARA IS. BROOKS with the open noacl ,calling to kmikere and eyclists, meandering .meals are the order of the day, and that means picnics. The soldier home on furlough +x111 enjoy a picnic—home-packed. .style., as a .change from .camp rations. Picnic lunches fall into two groups, the kind that is cooked on the spot .over an open fire, and the kind that's packaged at home all ready. to eat For the packed lunch, sandwiches are the primary ,consideration. But for health's .and variety's sake that's just the beginning. tvuncierful for just such occasions„ Houle-.eanned tomato •juice is Deviled .egg's also perk up the shoebot lunch. For dessert, nothing hits the spot quite as well .as fresh fruit * juicy oranges; ripe cher- ries; sweet, juice -filled pears and apples. There must be a home- made cookie er two to go with it, too for nibbling along the way. Everyone adores the crisp, ,crunchy cereal kind, especially when it is rich with peanut butter, as In this new recipe for peanut butter squares. Sandwich fillings are seldom made from written recipes. They area blend of the cook's ingenuity and whatever her refrigerator holds. If roast beef was the piece d seasantit eweith W nicest efor , take the left -over beef, chop it fine, sauce and a dash of horse -radish, and spread between two pieces of bread. Do the same with tongue. Lamb, on the other hand, :calls for less spicy treatment. Merely slice it, chop some of the mint that went with it the day before, and add a thinly sliced piece of onion. and a sprig of water cress. Should there be pork in the icebox, spread chopped sweet pickle over it, and add salad dressing and lettuce. A change in bread does magic tricks with sandwiches, too. If the bread is homemade, butter alone is almost enough filling. Here is a recipe for an unusual tea bread made with corn flakes, Spread with cream cheese, it makes a super, super sandwich; Corn Flake 'Pea Bread. 2 cups corn flakes 1 tablespoon sugar t cake compressed yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk VA tablespoons melted shortening 21i's cups (about) flour Roll corn flakes into very fine crumbs. Crumble yeast into a bowl. Scald milk and cool to lukewarm temperature; add to yeast, stirring until yeast is dissolved. Add sugar, salt, shortening and half the flour; beat until smooth. Combine corn flake crumbs with remaining flour and add to dough, mixing well. Turn onto floured board and knead until smooth. Place dough in greased bowl, brush with melted fat, cover, set in a waren place and let rise until double in bulk. Punch down and shape into loaf. Place in greased loaf pan and brush with melted fat. Cover and let rise again until double in bulk. Bake in moderately hot oven (425°F.) 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375°F. and bake about 45 minutes longer. Yield: 1 loaf (41A x 8 -inch pan). Peanut Butter Squares 14 cup butter 's cup peanut butter 1 package oven -popped rice 'i pound marshmallows (about 21/2 dozen) cereal (53 oz.) Cook butter and marshmallows in double boiler. Add peanut butter; beat thoroughly to blend. Put oven -popped rice cereal in large buttered bowl and pour on marshmallow mixture, stirring briskly. Press into shallow buttered pans. Cut into squares when cool. Yield: 32 squares (2-8 x 8 -inch pans). in on Angus, but Angus just stuffs his cap in his pocket, clenches his fists and waits: So the bouncer decides on safer tactics and says, "Now, look, Buddy, I can't let you. in. The boss wouldn't like it." "1 wanna see Miss Mickletwidge --that is, Miss Margate. She's a friend of mine. She sings here and I wanta see her. And I'm gonna wait." There is no further doubt about Angus' intentions, so the bouncer slays, "That's different. Why didn't ya says? I'll find a table in the corner 'for you." « * « Angus doesn't like tb.e looks of the joint—purple rugs, drapes, fancy gold trimmings. People drift in after a couple of hours and he keeps his eyes open for Adoreen. Be,doesn't like the way people look et him. All of the men look alike, except that some are mid- dle-aged and fat and. ogexte are young and thin. but they are all weaa'ing monkey suits with tails. The girls wear dresses that are toying dangerously with the law of gravity because there is too much of them near the floor and too little at the top, with no straps to hold them up. Angus drinks ginger ale and nibbles on strange food until 11.30, when the lights go out and a spotlight shines on the floor where people have been danc- ing. A. gang of chorus girls comes out into the bright light and An- gus closes his eyes and reflects on what a confusing world it is—how moms people get rich in New York selling expensive clothes to girls who apparently don't wear any. He is glad Adoreen is a sensible little mouse, and then he gets cold with a kind of fear. He can hardly wait until Adoreen comes out to sing. When she does. Angus doesn't dare to look at first. He hears someone yell her name and then Clive is lots of clapping, and final- ly when he loop's into the splash of light, he secs Adoreen sitting on top of a piano. He freezes to his chair. He wants to run out and hide, but he can's move. There she is, sitting with her legs crossed and with her skirt slit from the bottom almost to her hip so that her lovely legs are extremely visible ie all these stiff - shifted cookies. The top of her dretes is as low as any he has seen. Her lip, are painted a fiery, sinful real. * ,s a Angus doesn't listen to her song. He is boiling inside, and We n all the lights go on again and pco le are still clapping, he alias the waiter •over and Leila him to bring Adoreen to his amble. Pretty soon, Adoreen centres down the room and the monkey - suits are blowing kisses at her and grabbing her and and site is eating all of it up. She is.dis- turbed to see Angus, but she sits down and orders Scotelm and gin- ger ale and then whispers to the waiter to never mind the Scotch, "Addie," says Angus firmly, "I've come to take you home." "Don't be silly, A.ugus,•.,iny, dear," Adoreen says, in a voice that: gees • with the cover charge. "1'm getting along fine. Didn't you bear the applause?"

Adoreen's eyes start flashing like the red lights at a railroad crossing. "You never have appreciated my talent. Well, other people do. I wish you'd go home and leave me alone." "Addie, that dress you're wear- in'—it's ripped on the side and I believe you did it on purpose." Adoreen smirks. "Of course, it's there on purpose. It's the latest style. You can't expect me to sing in a calico apron." "It ain't, respectable." "Listen who's talking. How long have you been out of jail, Mr. MacPhillips?" Angus is mad now. Ile gets up and 'pulls his carp out of his poc- ket. "Put on some regular clothes, Addie. I'm going to take you home." "Kindly leave me, Mr. MacPhil- Rips," she says icily. "Mr. Fitz- water is goin to take me home af- ter I've finished working at three c 'Olaack. Please do not annoy see.;' For a minute Angus fights an impulse to grab her and carry her but to Caleb bodily. Then he kicks over a chair which skids into a dowager's shins and stomps toward the door He pays his bill to a waiter who takes one look at him and doesn't even wait for a tip. The cool night air doesn't calm him any. It is nearly one o'clock, and he is surprised to eee so many people on the streets. « « . Angus walks over to Eighth ave- nue and grabs a subway train. He gets off at Eighth street, not car- ing much where he is going. After the stifling, roaring ride in the eubway, the cool air feels good. It makes him hungry. He sees a little white b,amburger shop down the street and -'he goes in to order a bowl of chili and a steak sand- wich. While he, pours chili down his thx'oat. Angus thinks about Ado- reen. New York did this to her and suddenly he is very mad at New York in general. Addie al- ways had funny notions, but she was never like tlmi's. She never went around practically undressed. And she never spoke to him like that before. Mr. Fitzwater prob- ably is responsible for the change. He `wishes he could get his hands on Mr. Fitzwater. He just: wishes he could see hint alone for five minute's. Angus doesn't see the weary, harmless little man . who slides onto the stool next to his. 11e is the sort of city -dweller who never . gets in anybody's way—the sort you wouldn't notice 11 you parried him 100 times a day. Ile is holding open a hamburger sandwich and looking l necrtainly at Aligns. His voiee is timid aunt wheezy. "Will you please pass the catsup?„ he asks. Angus takes o•ne look at the tidy little brown moustache on the man's lip and springs from his stool. With ane arm he yanks time frozen little guy off the stool and lets loom with his other fist. The little fellow sails over the counter 'and times loudly into a bin reserv- ;'ed for fresh buns. A jar falls on • tOp of him and splatters dill pick - iris over his face. The little mean's eyes are closed to deep repose. (Contin.ued next week) RIR Th CANADA STARCH COMPANY Ltli6Ptt Seri' Here is a grand mealtime beverage with a delicious, robust flavor all its own.

CHAMBERS Honey Recipes I have many requests this week for recipes for honey as a substi- tute for sugar. And why not? Never in our lifetime have we ever heard such discussions on sugar rationing and now, that you all have your ration cards, you will be trying to use them to the best advantage. Do not be dis- couraged nor anxious for with careful cooking and no waste I believe you will find little change. After all we have been promised sugar for canning. Most of us eat far too many carbohydrates anyway. We are told that, along with our neigh- bors to the South of us, we are "a starch poisoned race" and sugar being the other carbohy- drate we may be able to say much about it too. Certainly those who find they must have sugar, and several. lumps of it, in tea and coffee and heaps on their cereals and "what not" are going to find they will feel much better in health and more able to perform the many tasks for "King and Country" which we are all going to be called upon to do. I hope you will find these re•• cipee some help; they come from the Department of Agriculture laboratory at -Ottawa.
