Louise Dunbar as Princess Artemia

Eternal" highly successful romantic
drama OF the early Christian period.
Many competent critics contend she
is among the most able Shakespearean
actresses of the contemporary stage
first, because she has intelligence and
has undergone a splendid apprentice
ship in the art; and second, because
she knows the value Of music in words!
Call il elocution. if you will-call il
anything else; the fact remains that
she knows how to give good writing
the Tilt and cadence that pleases the
ear. Sometimes they call it old
fashioned acting" when lines are read
intelligently and with a ringing clarity.
At the New Theatre i'm New York a
year or SO ago they called Rose Cogh-
Ian "old fashioned" but all the wise
little actresses in that company sat
quietly down at her feet and learned
lessons in dramatic art. The same is
true OF Louise Dunbar-though Miss
Dunbar has the added advantage of
comparative youth. her present role

Allies and Germans CLASH.
London, Aug. 24.-The French and
English troops are locked in a death
grapple with the Germans in the first
great battle of the war, with its Gen.
ter at Charleroi, Belgium.
Since dawn on Saturday million
men have been on the firing line, and
over a battle froAt of 100 miles.
The roar of cannon is reported from
a vast area in southern Belgium, and
wounded from both armies are be-
ginning to pour into Paris.
Waterloo dwarfs into insignifi-
canoe before this terrible conflict" de-
clare the experts.
Russians Reinforced.
At the moment of the first decisive
battle against the German invaders
comes news of the rush of a vast
Russian army against Koenigsburg,
the most important city of eastern
Germany. Fresh from their victory
at Gumbinnen a few days ago, the
Russian army seized Interburg. 30
miles inside the German border, and
on Saturday three fresh army corps
arrived to reinforce them. Koenigs-
burg is now menaced by this power
full foe. In their operations thus far
the Russians have taken eight Ger
man cannon and many prisoners.
But the eyes of the world, and es-
pecially of England, are focused on
Belgium, where the mighty armies
are locked in a struggle which may
last for days.
Guns Shake All Belgium.
AS nearly as can be told from the
meager dispatches which the censors
permit to filter through, the battle line
extends from somewhere south of
Client, southeasterly to Hal, almost
due south to Luttre, easterly to Char
leroi, south again to Walcourt, and
east almost to the Luxembourg border.
The allies have not waited passive
ly for the Germans to reach them, but
have, apparently, thrown their line for
ward and are now trying to break
through the line of the German ad-
vance to Dinant, thus cutting them off
from their base of supplies.
There are indications that the fight
ing extends down the River Sambre all
the way from Charleroi to Namur,
where the little Belgian forts still are
holding out, and where the Germans
are hammering at them with their
heavy siege guns.

We have heard too much about the
rights of the Individual; let US know

stress has been laid on the sacred
ness of private property and too little
on the duty of all to contribute to the
welfare of the whole. Preventive
medicine has demonstrated in prac-
tical way the force Of the Biblical
statements that no man liveth to him
self alone, and that every man is his
brothers keeper.
II preventive medicine Is to bestow
on man its richest service, the time
must come when every citizen will
submit himself to a thorough medical
examination once year or oftener.

such service are so evident to med

WHEN MAKING PASTRY
GONE IMPORTANT THINGS TO 81
REMEMBERED.
Ingredients to Be Used Should Always
Be cold-shortenins Must Not
Be Cut Too smaii-care OF
the Under Crust.

Making a good pie is the test Of
good cooking; but rich pun paste 10
not at all necessary. A well made.
daky pie crust will, In fact, be much
better for the family than the richer
pastry. and with little experience
and more care even Mrs. Newlywed
should be able to produce a specimen
above reproach.
Ingredients for pastry making
should always be cold. A good recipe
for family pie crust is as follows:
Three cupfuls of flour. one of shorten
ing. and Ice water to mix (about three
fourths of a cupfuD. Butter and
lard, chicken fat and lard or beef drip
pings and lard In equal quantities
make good shortening.
Always sift the -four and also chop
the fat into the flour. II faky crust
10 wanted the shortening must not be
chopped too fine. Sprinkle the water
In little at time and toss about
with fork to mix. Turn on Toured
board, dust with -four and roll back
and forth until the paste is oblong,
and fold over in three layers. Roll
again and fold. when the paste Is
ready. though 1t will be improved by
setting away In the icebox for an
hour.
The reason why the shortening
should not be cut too small is that lit
tie balls of 1t hardened by the ice wa
crust flaky after the folding and roll
ing. Fat rubbed into -four until it
feels "mealy" makes a short piecrust.
Three rollings are as many as this
paste will stand. To press too much
breaks the balls of fat while they really
should only be fattened. Otherwise
the paste will not rise and pun up in
the oven.
Some people use little baking
powder in piecrust. In that case less
shortening is required.
Never use rich paste as an under
crust, because 1t soaks up the contents
Of the pie. Always cut pastry with a
very sharp knife. II 1t Is jagged at all
around the edges the pastry will not
rise SO we'll Cuttings and trimmings
should be used for ornamentation or
smaller dishes. Putting several pieces
together to form one large one is not
a success, although 1t will answer, of
course, for the home table.
To give a glazed appearance to q
pie, brush over with beaten egg be-
fore putting into the oven.
Pastry will rise better II put Ice
cold into hot oven. When the great
est heat is at the bottom the pie will
bake rlost successfully, because the
paste will puff up from the heat be-
fore the top has a chance to get too
brown.
In making pates roll out the paste
half an inch thick. Cut two rounds
the same size and take a small round
from the center Of one. Use the ring
left for laying on the other round.
Brush with water to make 1t stick.
The small round Is used for a cover
after filling the plate.
