Indian river, where a stand for the
days orator had been erected in
beautiful grove and table set for a
collation.. Music and the military were
not unusual accomplishments of a
Fourth of July parade, but the weird
Joy of the procession was Russian
maiden as Goddess of Liberty, seated
in a bower of flowers upon fire en-
CINE decorated with flags. In the
evening there were fireworks, and we
will hope that the afternoon shower
that interfered with the collation. did
not make the fire flowers droop their
heads on so suspicious an occasion.
We press nearer to our window, for
the fireworks at last have begun. The
street is flooded with red waves of
light. Pinwheels spin golden circles
and flower pots splutter red, white
and blue balls along the curb. Over
the housetops rockets whizz stream
ing paths and bombs pour outbursts
of radiant glory. And above all, be-
yond all, in the blue Of the ageless
sky shines an evening star, serene,
eternal in the heavens.
The Fourth of July may have
changed from holy day to holiday:
from solemn deed of state to thought
less fun and frolic; but above and be-
yond the fireworks Of our superficial
ity forever shines our patriotism. In
the play-day of peace we foolish chill

THE BACKYARD PROBLEM.
Unsightly Clothes Posts May Be
Made Things Of Beauty-A Clump
of Lilacs for Screen.

One usually thinks of clothes posts
as necessary evils and accepts their
ugliness as unredeemable. II will sur
prise many to learn that they may be
made beautiful and retain their useful
ness. have seen set of Clothes posts
in back yard entirely covered with
living green--a luxurnant growth of
Virginia creeper. On side of each one
was staple securely anchored In the
post and a large ring hung from the,
staple. Through the ring the line was
passed on washday. The rest Of the
week the posts were strictly orna-
mental.
The best permanent screen for un-
slightly objects is group of ever
green's. A clump of lilacs costs less
and begins to be effective sooner. Hide
the garbage can In mass of shrub
berry.
Some back yards are too small for
outbuildings of any kind. In larger
ones some sort of arbor-call 1t per-
COLA II you like-is delightful. 1t makes
dry place for children to play when
the grass is dewy. It Is just the thing
for afternoon tea or sewing and is less
public than the front porch and far
more comfortable than the hot kitchen
when Smelling peas or stemming straw
berries. An arbor covered with vines
at the kitchen door will be greatly APP
preciated by the help" especially on
summer evenings.
Now for the garden proper. In most
cases l should plant all around the
border and have the center in grass.
In yard only rs by 30 flower border
three or four feet wide is probably
best. In larger yard border with
gracefully undulating front outline will
be suitable and more pleasing. Groups
of shrubs may be placed in or near the
corners to break the monotony Of the
straight line.-Wflhelm Miller.

FOR OATMEAL BREAD.
Looks Very Much Like Whole Wheat
and Is Nice Change from
White Breads.

am sending you two recipes for
oatmeal bread. Have you ever tried it?
/ think you would like 1t fully as well
as entire wheat. One can scarcely tell
the difference. Both of these recipes,
when made correctly, are very little
darker than white bread, and are very
good in every way.
Oatmeal bread No. lone cup rolled
oats, one tablespoonful lard, one des-
sertspoonful salt. Pour two cups boil
ing water on above ingredients. When
cool, add half d cup warm water, in
which is dissolved one-half yeast cake,
one-half cup molasses. one-fourth tea
spoonful saleratus stirred in molasses,
and good quart of white flour. Let
rise and bake like other bread. Makes
two loaves.
Oatmeal bread No. 2-Have your
teakettle boiling. Into your breadpan
put one cup rolled oats. Now pour
over Il three cups boiling water, half
cup molasses, one tablespoonful lard,
one dessertspoenful salt. Let cool.
When blood warm add one yeast cake,
which has been dissolved in water.
Now add bread flower until firm and
can be kneaded. Let rise over night;
in the morning make into two loaves
and bake one hour and 20 minutes

Fireworks for the Fourth

The Fourth of July that Quickens
the heartbeats of all American young
sters and the nerve quivers of all
American mothers is once more upon
us, fact too well realized as we
dodge an exploding coil of frecrackers
or blink fast as We hurry by street
urchin cooking his toy pistol.
But while the din of the Fourth, in
stead OF stirring our souls with pa
triotism, may give us a weakened
longing to follow our pet poodle's ex-
ample in crawling under the bed,
when the day is safely over and we
sit at the front window, waiting for
the evenings fireworks-our sidewalk
already saturated by a cautious hose
and buckets Of water standing on the
roof-we begin to feel reconciled to
our forebears' indiscretion In signing
the Declaration Of independence.
Our earliest recollections link the
Fourth of July and fireworks so indis-
solubly together that we fancy 1t was
the vivid conviction of the nursery
that Washington and his associates,
after signing the illustrious document,
hurried round the corner to confer
with the Inventors of pinwheel, bomb
and rocket, writes Mary c. Ringwalt,
In the Los Angeles Times. But long
before tbe colonial fingers let go their
hold on The mother hand, long before
Ameri:a claimed her own on the
worlds map, some ambitious wizard
had stolen into fairyland and secreted
himself there until he had learned the
magic art of making fireworks. Just
when and where he gave the first dis
play on his own little planet, history
does not record, but very early the
Chinese took embroidery lessons Of
him. as 1t were, and none have sur
passed this child-natured race In the
ingenuity of their pyrotechnics.

beloved pastime, which they poetical-

There are three special divisions in
the general matchmaking the cases,
that Is, the paper tubes and shells;
combining materials to give power,
light and color; and putting the ex-
plosive and illuminating power into
the cases.
The making of a Roman candle is
said to be one Of the simplest but most
dangerous tasks. The Roman candle
maker sits In tiny room "alone by
himself" On shelf to his right are
the powder and other inflammable sub
stances; on his left, the shells for the
candle, while In front of him Is
machine like a comb running up and
down, every tooth of which acts as
ramrod packing the load into the case
and incidentally striking spark by
friction, now and then creating an
instant explosion.

20 inches in diameter, and this Is filled
with smaller shells "cocoanut size,"
in each of which is the material that,
when ignited. makes a certain colored
light.
A unique celebration Of the Fourth
of July took place in Sitka, shortly
after Uncle Sam purchased Alaska for
a new hobby horse. In the morning
there was an exciting canoe race In
the harbor- prizes of blankets. ETC.,
being given to the Indian victors.
Early in the afternoon procession
formed, marching to the mouth Of the
