Morgan.. f Thee Layers to Success Cooks of long age didn't worry about accur cy—they couldn't have• stood in a witness box and told "the whole truth and nothing but the truth" about their recipes because they didn't know it. They cheerfully said "two cups of flour" and forgot that no other kitchen used exactly the same cup for measuring, and that other cooks used different kinds of flour made from different kinds of wheat. They just couldn't under- stand why everyone who had the re- cipe couldn't turn out a tender, moist gingerbread. Now those old recipes brought up-to-date give every cook a chance to make perfect cake, for dietitians now specify exactly the ingredients to use to insure suc- cess. For instance try the following recipe for the above delicious -look- ing cake: Chocolate Peppermint Cake 2 cups sifted cake flour; 1 tea- spoon soda; U, teaspoon salt; 1/3 cup butter or other shortening; 114 cups sugar; 1 egg unbeaten; 3 squares unsweetened chocolate, melt- ed; 112 cup thick sour cream; 1 tea- spoon vanilla; a} cup milk. Sirt flour once, measure, add soda and salt, and sift together three tines. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, •and cream together well. ' Add egg and beat very thoroughly; then chocolate and blend. Add about Ib of flour and beat well; then add sour creast and beat thoroughly. Add remaining flour, alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Turn into two greased 9 -inch layer pans and bake in moderate oven (350 F.) 30 minutes, or until done. Spread Pep- permint Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake, Decorate with 1 inch border of chocolate flakes. Frosting 2 egg whites, unbeaten; 1i: cups sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 5 table- spoons water; 114. teaspoons light corn syrup. Combining egg whites, sugar, water, and corn syrup in top of double boiler, beating with rotary egg beater until thoroughly mixed. Place over rapidle boiling water, beat constantly with rotary egg beater, and cook 7 minutes or until frosting will stand in peaks. Add just enough red colouring to hot frosting to give a delicate shell -pink tint. Just a tiny speck of coloring on the end of a knife or a few drops of liquid coloring are enough. Re- move from fire, flavor with oil of peppermint (6 to 10 drops), and beat until thick enough to spiced. Spread on cake. While frosting is still soft, but cold, sprinkle choco- late flakes around top of cake to form a 1—inch border, For choco- late hakes, scrape a square of un- sweetened chocolate With a sharp knife, hold knife at right angles to chocolate and serape with downward motion. Fresh Lamb Dishes Even if the budget is flat it is nice to know that you may have an in- expensive yet tender cut of fresh lamb for the dinner. In this respect, lamb is a most accommodating meat and any cut, no matter how little it costs, may be prepared in a vari- ety of appetizing ways. It is true that seine cuts of lamb are higher in price than others,. which is partly due to the greater demand for these cuts. Therefore, if you are interested in saving on the family budget, it is wise to se- lect the less -demanded cuts of lamb. You are sacrificing nothing in flavor, tenderness or nutritive value; you are merely taking advantage of your. knowledge of lamb possibilities over the "hit -and -friss" shopper who thinks of fresh lamb only in terms of leg and loin, and your reward will be an appreciable saving in dol- lars and cents. Most of the forequarter cuts of fresh lamb belong to the economical group; shoulder, breast, shanks, neck, as well as trimmings suitable for stews and ground meat dishes. The neck is a cut rich in meat extractives which give meat its fine flavor and is usually used for stews, patties, and broths. The shoulder gives delicious. large, meaty chops and roasts, while the shank is a smal- ler cut which can be roasted, stew- ed or used for broth. The breast is most suitable for roasting and stewing, or may be used in a boneless lamb roll trade up from shoulder, breast, and shank. Any desired weight may be bought in this form to snake a splendid piece of solid, fine -flavored meat for a family roast. A Pocket Telephone It is announced that an Italian scientist has just perfected an in- vention to enable the telephone sub- scriber to receive ,and answer calls when driving about in a car, as well as if he were at home or the office. A specially designed wireless receiv- er and transmitter are fixed to the instrument at home and a shnilar equipni'ent attached to headphones Is carried in the car. The equip- ment's bulk is the chief drawback at present, but the inventor is confid- ent that it can be reduced tc pocket - camera size. It is said that the smalleet person ever born was Lucia Zarate. She was born in New York in 1863, and when fully grown did not stand more than 29 ins. in her sto.:kinged feet. The most famous dwarf, Tom Thumb, was 31 ins. in height. The house famous in• English letters, once occupied by the "Barretts of Wimpole Street," long a picturesque London landmark, has given way before prosaic progress. The new house, however, will include some of the fittings and mantlepieces once familiar to Robert Browning, the poet. Here is the scene as workmen demolish the structure, CANNOT IGNORE FACTS OF DAY "The point made by Charles A. Beard in a speech at a meeting of American teachers and school super- intendents at St. Louis is one that is central in all discussions of aca- demic freedom," observes the .Balti- more Sun. Professor Beard said the present age is inescapably one of conflict and, since honest teaching cannot overlook that reality, it must, therefore, take account of subjects «which are controversial and of mat- ters about which people feel strong- Iy. There is no possibility of Conceal- ing from children and from youth the turbulence of the modern world. And one of the chief hopes which reasonable people can serionisrg; en- tertain is that a more exalt and profound understanding of the causes and the nature of deep and universal difficulties will eventually equip mankind to ove=tonne then: in large measure. To disregard the issues which this study involves, or to treat thein as if they yielded at puce to easy formula, is to falsify the whole position and to defeat the most important ends which educa- tion has in view. That was what Professor Fearer said when he re- marked that the "perversion of in- struction" by the blinking of pale- able facts, and the hushing of all ideas which may be regaraea as dangerous, "is more than a betrayal of knowledge and truth. It assumes that knowledge and truth are of no importance; that a nation can live by lies and deception," So far as re can see that argu- ment is irrefutable.. Fallacious ideas are best dealt with When they are openly exposed; "dangerous" sub- jects are never rendered safe by sup- pression. If education not only neg- lects the conflict of ideas, but rales out all reference to that conflict in a period which breads it, the bright- est hope that exists for resolving our problems is condemned. Natives of Papua have to get per- mits to wear clothes, according to Sir Hubert Murray, Lieutenant -Gov- ernor of Papua. A Papuan, he add- ed, must first prove i.hat he under- stands the correct use of clothing, and the need for constant washing to prevent disease, before the • per- mit is issued.

UNDAY. ��oLESSON LESSON XII -- March 22 JESUS TEACHES TRUE VALUES GOLDEN TEXT — "Seek ye first his kingdom and his righteousness; and ail these things shall be added un- to you," — Matthew 6:33. Tr1.FI LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time — All the •events of this chap- ter occurred in November and Dec- ember, A.D. 29, Place — As far as can ee determin- ed, the events of this chapter took place in I'eraea, that area which was on the farther side of the Jordan Ri- ver extending a considerable distance both above and along the shores of the Dead. Sea, "And he said unto nes disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anx- ious for your life what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what, ye shall put on," The verb hero translated 'be anxious' comes from a root meaning "to be drawu it's different directions, "to divide" and thus a person who is given to anxiety is one whose strength and attention are always divided. The anxiety is defined as 'painful uneas- iness of mind. expecting an ttnpend- ing or anticipated event, "concern about some future or uncertain event, "For tate life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment." This might be called a summary of the teaching that our Lord had just com- pleted in Itis giving the parable of the rich fool. "Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store -chamber nor barn; and God feedeth then; of how much more va- lue are ye than the birds!" (See Job; 33:41; Psalm 147:9.) Ile did not mean to say that we are to sit down and axpect God to feed us as he feeds the birds. He said they sow not, they reap not, they have no store -chamber and yet God feeds thenifi But we can sow and reap and have barns; and we ought to sow and reap and have barns; and, if God cares for the birds who have no thought and rationality, how much more will he feed us to whom he has given foresight and ra- tionality! "And which of you by bring anxious ran add a cubit unto the measure of his life?" The Revised Version has greatly improved the reading of the ast phrase of this verse. Not many people give anxious thought to the problem of adding to their statures, but Many persons do give thought to the prolongation of their allotted age, and that by any amount, great or small, "If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anx- ious concerning the rest?" The Mas- ter often clinches some great argu- ment with a penetrating question. "Consider the lilies, how they grow they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." (For the glory of Solomon, see 1 Kings 3:13; 10:1-20.) "But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and to- morrow is cast into' the oven; how much more shall be clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?" In Palestine, wood be- ing so exceedingly scarce, grass was aftersd s for fuel, u e "And seek not ye what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind." The phrase here translg;j;ed "doubtful mind" is the translation of a word derived from an old verb meaning "to reach up on high," "to be buoyed up," and, espec- ially "to be tossed by a ship at sea," "to be anxious," "to be ih doubt." If you want . to have as little pitch- ing and tossing on your. voyage as possible, keep a good strong hand on the tiller, that is to say, have a def- inite aim to which you steer, and to keep a straight comae for that. "For all these things do the nntions of the world seek after; but your Fa- ther knoweth that ye have need of these things." Our Lord here dis- tinguishes between the believers to whoa he was speaking, who knew 3 W.F. God as their Fati:or, and the- Genli o nations about Lhoni who were what yl dependent upon, theiniselves for the . necessities of life, "Yet seek ye his kingdom and these things shall be added unto you."

"Sell that which ye have, and give alms." Christians are not comidand- ed to retain nothing for their own u e, but to take care that fear of pov- erty does not interfere with hencvol. en e. "Make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the hcaveas that faileth not, where up thief drawet'h near, neither moth des-: troyeth." (See, especially, Matt. 8:20; 21,), This might truly be called "the banking law of heaven. "Igor where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also." A man is al- ways determined by what he seeks, by' his objects. If he sets his heart upon a degrading- object, he is degradQd, it upon that which is noble and geber- cue, bis character is morally elevated) Women Better Drivers And Pedestrians Than Men Are "Less Arrogant and Reckless," Says Head of French Motoring School Official figures published in Paris show that during the peak period last year in France an average of 19 peck pie were killed and 123 injured daily in road accidents—a big increase es previous years. The cause of the increase is not stated, but an official of the largest' motoring school said: "Scarcely any of the crashes yeere caused by women. We believe that women set a very fine example; ache' men, not only as drivers but ado as pedestrians. "Women are less arrogant and less reckless than men at the wheel. They have a sense of prudence wdiich is lacking in many Male drivers, "If there were more women drivers than men, there would be fewer ac- cidents." The figures show that for the month of July 25th to August 24th, 4,410 peo. ple were injured, of whom 587 died: On one of the worst days there were 32 deaths, 45 persons seriously filial.. edand 205 slightly injured. Seventy per cent of the accidents. -were caused by the drivrs of vehicles mostly private motorists. France's death toll for 1935 willbe about 5,000 an increase of dearly 100 since 1982. In Great Britaia during the great. er part of last year there were 9,140 road deaths, compared with 5,082 in 1932, an increase of 178, FU MANCHU M By Sax Rohner "Well, Petrie," said Neyland Smith, joining me at the window, ' we had almost dared to hope Fu 1j`i(i(" 1 Merichu dead, but new Sll;i � we snow that he lives."
