there is no denying the fact that cook
ing by technique is by far the safer
way. One can learn very quickly in a
good domestic science school But the
temperamental cook has a much bet

patron. This is of course a hard thing
to do
Before a person can take out a box
it is necessary for him 10 furnish sat
isfactory references. These references
may be looked up and again they may
not. Some time ago man entered
an application for box. He was
known by sight to the clerk at the
window, and when it was noticed that
he had given a fictitious name, the
case was at once investigated and the
application rejected.
1t is an easy matter for a man of
good standing in the community TO
rent a box and then turn the key over
to a soul mate. She then can receive
his letters at the lock box unknown
to her relatives while he can have his
letters sent TO his business address or
else have a friend take out box for
him and then secure the key.

YOU haven't omitted something from
the recipe.
For the temperamental cook lot
depends upon her cooking environ
ment. The kitchen should be made as
attractive as possible, and each dish
should be neatly put aside for wash
ing as soon as it has been used, The
temperamental cook would never have
any success if she tried TO work in a
messy kitchen.

STATE WITNESS ON
STAND IN RATE CASE
DIR. E. B. Kay Testifies in
L. & N. Hearing Before
Commission

Montgomery January 22.-(Specal)-
Hearing in the Louisville and Nashville
rate case was resumed this morning with
Dr. E. b. Kay, witness for the state, on
the stand. DR.. Kay is the first witness
for the state that has testified in the
case, and he will probably be on the stand
for day or two
DR.. Kay is the engineer for the railroad
commission. and his testimony has been
of an expert nature. Up to the present
time his testimony has concerned the
cost OF road construction, the volume of
material used and other facts connected
with road building.
DIR. Kay was cross examined for sew
eral hours Wednesday morning by w. A.
Colson of Louisville, counsel for the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad conn
pany. Attorney Coson questioned the
states witness closely concerning his
knowledge of the cost of construction,
and asked numerous questions with ref
erence to Dr. Kays experience as an
engineer.
DIR. Kay completed his testimony this
afternoon and S. 2. Kennedy, secretary
to the railroad commission, was placed
on the stand. Mr.. Kennedy was on the
stand comparatively short time and
following his testimony the commission
adjourned until January 80 The rate
case will probably be completed at the
next session of the commission though
the decision of the commission may
not be announced until several weeks
later. The greater part OF the eVl-
dence given has been by the railroad
company, their witnesses having con-
sumed weeks in presenting the rail-
roads side of the case.

SPEECH BY BANKHEAD
Object of Meeting to Show Why River
Should Receive Federal Aid in
Deepening Channel Between
Columbus and Demopolis

Columbus Miss, January 22.-tSpeciai)
Over 1000 people packed Lowndes county
courthouse auditorium today to attend
the hearing before the United States en-
gineers of Mobile, who came to Columbus
to receive statistics from residents OF
the Tombigbee river valley showing why
that stream should be the recipient OF
the congressional appropriation which
would make six foot channel at all
seasons of the year.
One thousand of these people were or
this place, and the other half Visltors.
Two hundred of the visitors were dele

appointed by their respective vice presi-

supper at the Elks home at 7 o'clock
were the scheduled events of the day.
and there was not single hitch in the
plans Several theatre parties tonight
furnished the amusement feature for lie
visitors.
Addresses at the morning session were
made by Col. John 2. Mayo of this place,
president of the association; j. @. Poin-
dexter of Ravine, Miss; William B. Bank
head of Jasper and others. Other repre-
scntatives from counties along the stream
gave utterance to sanguine hopes that
the Tomblgbee would receive favorable
government assistance and each voiced
that their section would triple in wealth
within the next decade.
The project of this meeting was to pre-
sent facts concerning the present and an
ticipated tonnage of this section and to
cite to the engineers that where slack
water navigation is enjoyed between De-
nsopolis, Ala, and Columbus, Miss, DIS
tance of 1856 miles by river. that H4,94l
tons of merchandise or commodities
would be shipped the first year and the
saving in freight rates would be $25S,572.
1t is estimated that slack water navi-
cation can be had by locks and dams
which will cost S2,500,000. which is a saw
inS to the residents of the Tombigbee
valley, territory which covers IL coun-
ties of almost IL per cent on the amount
invested.
Surveys and statistics presented showed
tfat along this stream there are colossal
deposits of cement material, all of which
lies dormant. for without river navigation
it is impossible to develop. The lumber
tracts in counties bordering the stream
along both the Mississippi and Alabama
territory are wonderful in their area and
financial worth. All this would instantly
come to note IL the river were nav
igable.
