Selma, September 22.-(Speeial)-The public schools of Selma will open their scholastic year on Monday morning at S:so o'clock and the enrolment is ex- pected to be the largest in the history of the schools For the first few weeks of the session 1t is anticipated the oondi- tions at the schools will be somewhat congested on account of the large enroll ment but the congested condition will be relieved as quickly as possible by the city school board
 A new high school building will be erected during the year and when com pleted and ready for occupancy 1t will greatly relieve the situation.

 English Crumpets q venture to ask for recipe for tho old fashioned English crumpets. without the aid of rings. somewhat on the order of wheatcalses. In England they are known as light cake and another name in the north is pixelets. MRS. J. D. offer 8 recipe for genuine English crumpets. but l have never seen any that are not baked in rings. Unless this were done. how would they hold their shape? If mixed into a stiff dough they lose their distinctive character and become bis cults.

 twice with a teaspoonful of salt. Now
 beat in half yeast cake dissolved in
 three tablespoonfuls of warm water, and
 let the batter rise all night In the morn

 flour, and with greased hands make light
 ly, handling as little as possible. into
 round mullins. Put these into buttered
 rings to rise for an hour. Set the rings
 and their contents upon greased griddle and bake, turning over when the lower
 side is done to bake the other. Run a sharp knife around the edges and turn the crumpets out upon a plate lined with . heated napkin. Tear, them apart to butter them when you are ready to eat them. To cut them open will make them heavy. Perhaps some reader may send in the recipe for which you ask.
