Spools for Soap Bubbles.

Children often want to blow soap bub- bles when perhaps the last bubble pipe has been broken. However, that need not necessarily stop the amusement Take a spool put a piece of soap in one end, and dip it into water. Blow through the other end, and as fine soap bubbles as one wishes to see will result.

For the Medicine Chest.

It is well to see that the medicine chest is supplied with court plaster and roll of bandaging as well as a small package of absorbent cotton. These are often quite as essential as any of the simple remedies themselves.

Emperor William and Gar
Nicholas to Discuss JOINT
Problems.
No CHANGE Of POLICY
Officially Announced that Discussion
VIII Be Only on Questions Affect
ing Those NaIions-Uldmale
Problem in Balkans

St, Petersburg, June IL Prem
wolsky, Count Won Pourtales, the
German AMBASSADOR, and the Ger
man military and naval attaches left
here yesterday morning on board
the Russian imperial yacht Polar
Star, to join Emperor Nicholas in
Pitkipas bay, where the meeting be-
tween Emperor Nicholas and En-
peror William of Germany will oc-
cur today. The emperor of Germany
already is on his way to the rendeZ-
gous. Information cleaned from
competent Russo-German sources,
bears out the intimation conveyed in
these dispatches when the meeting
was first announced, that the i'm
portanCe in the visit lies in the man
Hesitation of the friendly relations
between the empires that they have
not suffered by the recent friction
over the Balkan situation No
change in the goruping of the pow
ers or general lines of policy is CON
templated and the widely hcralded
menace of war with which Ger
many ended the Balkan crisis really
consisted of mediation, undertaken
at the initiative of Russia to prevent
an Austro-Servian conflict.
1t is expected that the converse
tious between the two manarchs
and their ministers will touch upon
several questions in which Russia
and Germany are jointly interested
notably the Polish problem and the
ultimate policy with regard to the
Balkans and Turkey
The Cretan question also may be
incidentally discussed 1t is authori-
tatively denied, however, that tbs
Representations from Servia will be
taken up.

 As Thursday was "Greater Montgom2 cry Day. at the fair. there was no cooking school session. but Mrs. Hitler continued her lessons yesterday after noon at the Auditorium.
 Instead of the holiday decreasing in terest in the lessons, interest was fath- CT increased and Mrs. Hiller found a very large and enthusiastic audience when she began the lesson.
 The first things Mrs. Hitler cooked yesterday was ham.
 T am going to cook three hams, 2 said Mrs. Hitler. q will boil one by a recipe which one of my pupils sent in; the other two will bake and send them to some one, and the one which cook this afternoon I will give to my class"
 Mrs. Hitler showed how to prepare the ham for baking. She took three quarts of flour, put 1t in bowl, and mixed enough water with 1t to make . firm, smooth dough.
 She then rolled the dough ont on a mixing board. put the ham in it and covered 1t entirely over with the% %pugh Then she put 1t into the oven to bake
 In speaking of hams Mrs. Hitler said there was no economy in buying q part of a ham. but that one should buy the whole ham and economize on some
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-10-30

thing else. She said that 1t was all right to soak a ham in water. but that if one wanted to give 1t an added flavor and if cider was plentiful, 1t might be soaked overnight in cider.
 This Idea originated with the French who soak their ham in champagne. and then cook them.
 In cooking your ham, and testing 1t to see if 1t Is done. if the knuckle bone win pull out you may be sure that the ham Is ready to take out of the stove.
 Among the other delicious dishes Mrs. Hitler made yesterday was one ot praised. liver. She also prepared dish of scalioped cabbage. and dish of French onions.
 The prize stove given away yester- day was won by Mrs. E. J.. Foley. 22c Jefferson Street. and her recipe was for tea rolls.
 Miss Selma sL. Bloch. 15. Alabama Street received honorable mention for her recipe for steamed ham. Mrs John A. Young. 43o South Lawrence Street. received honorable mention for her recipe for brandy peaches.

FAST MILES ARE EXPECTED
OLDFIELD AND KIRsCHER READY
 FOR SPEED TRIALS.
Two Events scheduled should Pro- duce Good sport--Driver Will Go After the Fifty-miie
 Record.

This Is Automobile Day at the fair. and 1t Is doubtful that better att traction than the automobile races with two of the most daring and skilifui drivers of the entire world competing in thrilling speed trials and races for lected for getaway day at the fourth annual State Fair of Alabama.
 The races this afternoon at Vandi- yer Park will eclipse anything in the speed line witnessed In Montgomery, and that's going some, for the horses have performed at the celebrated Southern track and produced results that have made race-goers of whatever prediction sit up and wonder.
 But with two great drivers and two fast cars in series of gruelling speed battles, Europe's famous pilot, Kirsch- CT. with his 100-horse power car, against the American champion, Bar ney Oldfield, and his 120-horse power machine. the horses will be forgotten when the speed demons begin sending their cars over the course.
 On the eve of the race, Oldfield Is confident of victory over Kirscher in the three heat race. each heat at q distance of five miles. and seems to be more concerned over the success of his fifty-mile record attempt than he does over the outcome of the competition event. For Oldfield is to put the .acid test'' on his endurance and skill and the staying qualities of his racing car by feat which has not been accomp- Hlfshed but once during his racing ca reer.
 It has been decided by the race cong mittee to eliminate the Montgomery : owned touring car races and stick to d program composed of races between ,< faoo ofA Ia al ing that the great speed which will be made by the racing cars would cause the spectators to lose Interest in the touring cars.
 oldfield will begin his fifty re- Ecord drive fifteen minutes after he races the last heat against Kirscher, and he believes that he wilIscover the fifty miles in about forty-six minutes, which is at an average of flfty-five seconds to the. mile. The early part of the race he expects to cover at an average of ffty-four seconds to the mile.
 Major Winters and the other fair of- ficials are much enthused over Auto mobile Day and predict one of the largest crowds of the entire week to- day.
 A large force of workmen with teams worked all last night preparing the track and early this morning tho sprinkling carts will begin the task of wetting down the course % prevent dust and to insure a cool surface, which Is so necessary to save tire changes during the flfty-Tnile trial.
 Percy Black. the well known local automobile association secretary has received the sanction for today's events from the A. A. A., and the records which Oldfeld expects to make will os official in every way.
 The first heat of the Oldheld- -Kirscher race will be called promptly at g o'clock and the program will require about two hours to finish. Oidield will begin his fifty mile record drive shortly after 1 o'clock.

aThe Top ., Tn, world, at The Grand.

''The Top O Tn World. at The Grand.
 As combination of the old extrava- ganza and the new musical comedy. "The Top O tn World" catches up the Ignter parts of both, and a show that is originally spectacular and laughably unique Is the result.
 Unique is the word. There were new comedy stunts in the big extra yaganza. which was comedy for the most part. The chorus was fresh and lively and it's drills were new. But the newest bit was the introduction of the Collie Ballet. with It's half dozen beautiful trained collies.
 "The Top O. tn World" is a chif- dren's play, written for grown-ups. :. It opens in the atmosphere that is dear to extreme youth--the toy shop of Kris-Kringle. There is a little girl Maida. who wantss to grow up in a hurry. Miss Pearl Revere, as Maida, makes very real little girl, and though there Is much lacking in her singing, she is whimsical enough.
 Maida is spirited away by Jack Frost. She visits the land of Queen Aurora With her goes the Jack-in-t the- Box and the Candy Kid and the Friendly Bear. The Jack-in-thA Box and the Candy. Kid. who are really Fred Bailey and Ralph Austin, are the biggest part | comedians they are. presenting some of the most laughable conceptions within the memory of tneatre-goers. The Friendly Bear Is mute and eff fective partner in their fun-making. Al Grady, as the polar bear. was a realistic animal. Charles Harris, as Queen Aurora Borealis. completes the comedy roles, and as queen, his horse play is funnier than most of the male conceptions of a ludirous female.
 "The Top O tn World" is deficient somewhat in the music. There is effort enough, and the orchestra works over time, but the members of the cast who possess good singing voices are few. Miss Will Nell Lavender the former Selma girl, who has been here before in Madame Butterfly, Is one of the few, although she was not given much of a chance. She played Prince iTinymite, and made shapely and handsome prince.
 Adele Oswald, as StalactasS an ice yestal beloved of Jack Frost and other of the tuneful ones, and Jack Frost himself, who is really Francis Carrier. and the William of the fairy land drama, was the third member with a good singing voice.
 The clock at the Grand was perhaps "a little ahead of time last night, for the show was well under way before many of the punctual show-goers were in their seats, The supply of pro- grams was insufficient, too, but the minor inconveniences did not detract from the enjoyment of the really laugh able show.
