The south's Prosperity

The south is prosperous in a marked
degree said l.. T. Overman of Chi
cago.
When I first visited Alabama in 1903
found business conditions fairly sound
IN nearly all of the cities. Brming-
ham. however. had not got over the eff
feets of the Wall street panic of 1907. To-
day the Birmingham district is enjoying
a high degree Of prosperity.
1 have made two visits to this city
since 1903, and l can see that there is
more business activity now than there
has been heretofore. Birmingham has
made wonderful strides. 1t is great city
today and will be in the 100000 population
class when the next census is taken

Cbnste and immaculate i'm very
thought. Henry the
OverfloMing Populations

Japan and Germany arrived late
when the earth was being divided
among the world powers of half cen
tury ago, and they are the only two
nations that today can point to an IN
crease of population due to birthrate
alone over and beyond all other ma
tions. Both of these countries are full
to oyerflowing and now they are con-
fronted with the problem OF dealing
with the overflow.
Statesmen, diplomatists and gen
erals are studying maps with view
to see how the lines of demarcatlon
may be changed so as to effect a more
equitable distribution of the earths
surface with as little cost of men and
money as possible, and naturally their
attertion is drawn to these parts
where vast undeveloped and sparsely
populated tracts of land are located.
For Nuch they will find Australia,
Africa and South America are the
most likely to meet the demands and
therefore it is towards them that Ja-
nan and Germany will direct their
overflow.
Australia and the islands I'M the
north and south Pacific oceans are
looked upon by orientals as geo
graphically belonging to them. From
Japan to Australia the way is actually
paved with islands close enough to
make each stepping stone to the
other and as Japan can find no foot
ing among the congested Chinese and
will not seek to wrest part of frost
bound Siberia from Russia, the Japan
csc overflow will certainly tend toward
the south and how far south Is a
question that time alone can tell.
Germany's designs are toward South
America and Africa, preferably South
America. The Germans are also be-
levers in the "blood thicker than
water" doctrine, and would much
rather found colonies than lose their
identity among other people, which
they must necessarily do when they
come to America, north or south. But
the Monroe doctrine cuts off that pros
pect and turns their thoughts to
Africa. France and England prac-
tically own Africa, and France and
England are friends and allies which
means that Germany is again blocked
in that quarter.
Here's situation then that calls
for grave consideration. Germany
and Japan must and will find an out
let for their overflow population, and
each of these nations desires to estab-
lish colonies and create markets. The
flags of these nations will accompany
their colonists, as will also their laws
and language. Africa and Australia
are subject in the near future to find
invaders at their doors who will be diff
ficult to turn away and even if turned
away it will only be to find them re-
turn later in greater numbers.

A Parent Party.

Dressing-up parties give man. signs of
a renewed delight in period dances as a
form OF winteI entertainment.
Meanwhile, one of the easiest forms of
masquerade may lie described. 1t is the
boy and girl dinner party and dance, TO
which are hidden guests who are told to
dress up in their parents clothes; TO
come. in fact. new editions of father
and mother.
The boys, finding difficulty per
chance. in assuming the Sarb OF their
masculine elders. though the well-grown
ones need not. may. be exempt from the
rule, and attire themselves as they think
lit, making a selection from their own
wardrobe. The girls, however. will order
TIMER choice from their mothers store.

ents who saw their children thus sud
denly grown UP enjoyed themselves as

novel shapes. In one very successful
model an interesting result obtained
by placing a fairly wide band OF fox
around the neck that in the rear it
set up rather high. while in the front
the straight lines just touched the smart
lily cut fronts and spread out toward the
smart cufT-like collar that clasps the
throat. and in some modes this is ex-
tended in long tie that may be thrown
about the neck and shoulders.

Hot Cakes for Cold DAYS.

Some one has said that what the ONE

to the English cook. Apparently there
is enough English left in us to account
for our liking for pancake, for there are
few of us who do not relish good hot
cakes once in a while on cold mornings.
or pancakes as an entree or dessert at
luncheon or dinner.
Here is a recipe for New England pam
cakes: Stir five tablespoonfuIs of sfted
-four and a teaspoonful Of salt into two
cupfuls of cream which has been mixed
with the yofks of seven eggs and the
whites of four. Pour this batter in thin
layers on hot creased griddle frying
pan, brown the cake on one side. turn it,
brown it on the other and serve it with
sugar and cream or maple sirup.
Here is another recipe for pancake bat
ter: Mix four beaten eggs four table
Spoonfuls of flour, two ounces of melted
butter, cupful of milk and an ounce of
granulated sugar with a pinch of salt.
Rice cakes are pleasant change. To
make them cook and drain and cool half
a cupful Of rice. Mix it with a quart Of
milk. a little salt. the Solks of four eggs
and beat. When it is smooth. add alter
nateiy half a pound of -four and a heap
ing teaspoonful of baking powder mixed
with the stiff whites of the four eggs.
Cook in spoonfuls a hot creased
sriddle.
Stuffed pancakes are delicious as en-
trees or dessert. They can be stuffed

Garnish them with parsley or watercress.
To make a good batter for stuffed meat
pancakes mix cupful OF flour, a cupful
Of thick, sour cream, four well beaten
eggs two ounces of melted butter and a
cupful of milk.
Another way to cook stuffed - cakes
is to spread them with the fling, roll
them, cut them i'll strips and arrange the
strips in buttered baking dish. Then
mix a cupful of milk with two beaten
eggs. season with salt and pepper and
bake until the milk and egg custard is
set.
\ good dessert is made by spreading
a layer of any sort of preserved fruit,
rolling them and sprinkling them with
sugar These like all other pancakes
should be served hot and the moment
they are done.
