Checkerboard Cake

Tn answer to E. E. L.. who asks for oirections to make checkerboard cake. use three or four wide shallow pans. Have bowl of dark cake mixture and another of white. These should be slight ly thicker than ordinary cake, so that it will not run together Make one line dark, then line of light alternately until the pan is full. Begin the next pan with light and so son, alternately. When baked, lay one layer over the other. so that the dark lines will be directly over the light. When cut into slices this shows checkerboard effect. This is the way have seen it made. hope the direc- tions are clear and that they will be of assistance. RO,,

Mk- PHILIP MEMOLI HASA WORD TO SAY
 ABOUT THE BAND CONCERTS THIS SUMMER
By DOLLY DALRYMPLn
Music Is a power for eood.y

 Would seem to be the slogan of "erhe Music Study club" Birmingham's splen- did organization which has done so much for the promotion of music in this city-and which means to do more in the future.
 Not the least among its activities has been the band concerts in the parks each summer, the premier of this sea sons being arranged for next Sunday afternoon at Capitol park. The motive In giving the band con- certs is purely altruistic;
 And
 There is no question that they are as altruistic as 1t Is humanly possible. but altrusitic or not, we all know that they are effective;
 As
 Witness
 The thousands of people every year who sit on the lawns, or the hard old benches in the parks. and listen to the music, while the engines whistle and the street cars whizz by and the "Honk, honk! of the automobile rings in their ears
 That so many people love music enough to listen to 1t under such cir cumstances shows that there is real need for music in the parks.
 Birmingham Is indebted to the Music Study club and the fine spirit of the women who are at it's head for the de- lightful band concerts each summer. and the pleasure they will put in the 1f season cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
 It's way beyond that.
 It is priceless
 And
 Everybody is delighted that MT. Phlllp Memoli is going to conduct the concerts this summer again.
 Mir. Memoli and his band are very important factors In the musical world of this city.
 Ms. Memoli is a finished musician, conscientious and pains taking, and a deep student of the best music. and his ideas of keeping the band concerts up to the high standard which he has al- ways set, Is not only commendable but encouraging in this day of too much popular" music.
 The band concerts I regard not only as means of giving pleaurse to peo- ple," said MT. Memoli yesterday when we were discussing the matter, "but as valuable means of education. I was very much pleased during the past win ter when the San Carlos Opera com pany sang Rigoletto here, to have a gentleman accost me on the street with the remark that he had enjoyed the opera doubly the evening before, be- cause he had heard the third act of 1t played by my band at a concert last summer"
 Tt is just as easy to popularize good music, the classics. as it Is any other kind" MT. Memoli continued Take the arias from the grand operas that are popular. What has done it? Merely the continued presentation of them by good bands and orchestras. If the con ductors of bands would remember this and not popularize the cheap kind by playing it continually and shelving the masters-the real authors and compos- ers-why We would soon have music standardized as 1t should be-"
 I've had the complaint" MT Memoli told me, made that my music is too classic, but that isn't true. I play music

showed an increase of $50 Der cent

FOR UNSIGHTLY
COMPLEXIONS
USE RESINOL

Pimples and blackheads disappear,
unsightly compilations become clean,
clear, and velvety, and hair health and
beauty are promoted by the regular
use Of Resinol Soap and an occasional
application of Resinol Ointment. These
soothing, healing preparations do their
work easily, quickly and at little cost,
whn even the most expensive cosmetics
and complicated beauty treatments fail.
Resinol is not an experiment. 1t is
a doctors prescription which proved
so wonderfully successful for skin trou-
bles that it has been used by other
doctors all over the country for nine
teen years. No other treatment for tho
skin now before the public can show
such a record of professional approval.
Every druggist sells Resinol Ointment
(5Oc. and $l.00), and Resinol Soap
(25c.) but for trial size, free, write
to Dept. KK,' Resinol, Baltimore, Md.
Avoid worthless substitutes offered by
unscrupulous dealers.
