 Little Ann Pennington, diminutive of l stature, with her big, appealing eyes, her youth and her talent, which have already won her the foremost rank among mu- sical comedy folk bids fair to assure us of her unquestionable success on screen as well.
 There is something singularly attrac- tive about Susie Snowflake and little Ann Pennington has caught the charm of the little dancer whose Broadway manners and show girl chatter shocks her Purf- tanical aunts into state of almost ner- 1 vous prostration; but there is a lot of | real character and answering loyalty in
 Susie as she proves when she's put to

 a new lease on personality!

BABE GIVES VIEWS
 ON WHAT IS MATTER WITH BIRMINGHAM
Lack of Symmetry in Devel- Opment Can Be Remedied Only by Co-opera-
 tive Effort

Joseph E. Babb, former secretary of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, has evidently been impressed by the re- cent reiterations of the question, What is the matter with Birmingham? and he writes as follows
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Birmingham seems to be going through a recurrent period of psycho-analysis tt determine what's the matter with it.
 One of the manifestations of a progress sive spirit is dissatisfaction with things as they are. No man ever reached the mountain top who was content to let his feet stick in the mud of the plains. The
 soul-searching interrogatory what's the matter with Birmingham? is a favorable indication of renewed determination te advance along moral, social and com mercial lines
 Birmingham has had a remarkable growth. It has skyscrapers and hotels that would do credit to cities of 500, ,OOt people. It has a residential section SC beautiful as to arouse the enthusiasm ol the calloused globe trotter.
 | It has a school system which may bt lacking in equipment but is not meagel in genius. It has among it's women, il my opinion, an unsurpassed if equallet group of devoted, unselfish, broad
 minded workers for the general welfare It has among it's men as aggressive, a: patriotic, as wide-visioned city builders as any community may claim. Yet Bir mingham is not satisfied

A Danish Recine

From an American who occupies an official position in Denmark, I have re- ceived a book of recipes printed in Copen- hagen and, of course in the Danish lan- guage. It will interest readers to learn, from time to time, something of the culi- nary methods of people whose reputation for fine cookery is hardly second to that of French masters of the art Today I print translation of one of these recipes, received little while ago from an eminent linguist, who vouches for the correctness of the formula as set down in the original tongue.
 Turkey Pie.-For this dish is used good forcemeat of veal or f1llet of pork, to which, however, should not be added much fluid. deep dish is carefully greased and then covered with puff paste (butter pastel, which in it's turn is covered with an ample layer of the force meat in which are pressed slices of pre- served onion and strips of cucumber Nice pieces of turkey roast Cleft oyer) may be used larded with strips of cu- cumber and placed in the dish with the larded sides upward. If one have only small quantity of roast available but some nice forcemeat balls, these are cut
 
 the roast. One can also alternate with layers of the forcemeat balls and the roast until the quantity of meat wanted has been obtained. Between the layers is poured good strong gravy and the last layer is made out of the same forcemeat that was used for covering the dish Then the whole is covered with a layer of the paste. In this paste some little lncisions are made by means of a pointed sharp knife and it is pressed quite firmly against the rim of the dish after which the pie is brushed over with egg It is baked in an oven one and one-half hours. If it Is inclined to become brown, it is covered over white white, buttered paper. When ready it is left to steam off (cooD for a few minutes before 1t is served with strong brown gravy, to which may be added wine.''
 To our native housewife who lays aside the foreign formula with the reminder to the editor that turkeys are out of season." let me remind her that the afore- said hearty dish may be made by sub stituting the all the year round chicken for the bigger bird. Try this method of using up cold meats and report results to the Corner.

the nature of all human institutions.
 From a material viewpoint, the only aspect I will attempt to consider in this letter, there is one thing conspicuously the matter. Birmingham is not in eco homie equilibrium. Rapidity of growth has been enjoyed at the expense of sym metry of growth. It has it's share of big industrial enterprises but a woeful lack of small manufacturing industries. For
 this reason Birmingham is peculiarly sus- ceptible and sensitive to panics either local or national. For this reason Bir-
 mingham is deficient in a measure in
 that stable and desirable class of citizens
 who bridge the distance between the of big business. For this reason the av-
 craze man finds it more difficult than
 in some places to make buckle and tongue meet. For this reason when per
 capita comparisons are made as to bank deposits, postal receipts and other ba- rometers of activity and prosperity, Bir- mingham fails to occupy the command ing position that she is entitled to by
 reason of her natural resources.
 This need of Birmingham has been rec
 ognized for years. It has been the
 theme of innumerable newspaper articles. It has been the topic at manifold meet ings of the Chamber of Commerce. It has been blazoned on the billboard and
 asseverated at the banquet board. The
 counting house and the parlor are alike familiar with the cry for factories-and yet
 Birmingham has never made a concern trated, sustained, specific and intelligent effort to obtain the plants so badly needed. Birmingham needs prepared ness campaign for factories. It needs for the business men to stop piffling with a serious problem and to get down to
 brass tacks. The problem may be solved but not by dissertation. Factories may be obtained but not by vexing the cir cumambient air with vain lamentations. Nashville and Memphis each spent
 more than s100,OO0 in the promotion of work of this kind Both communities | feel well repaid in results. Until the business men of Birmingham are willing | to deal with this big problem in a big | way it were best that it not be dealt with at all and until serious treatment 1 Is administered Birmingham must remain economically unbalanced.

Maple Syrup Turned Sour

T have two quart bottles of genuine maple sirup I melted myself. It ought to keep well, but I found this noon that it is slightly sour. Can you tell me of any way by which it may be improved? It is the first unfortunate experience of this kind I have ever had and the sirup is only somewhat acid. R."
 If you had poured out the contents of the bottles into a kettle and brought the sirup quickly to boil. the slight acidity might have been corrected. I have re- peatedly 'saved threatened jellies and jams by this action. As it is, I should make the experiment even at this late day. Put an even teaspoon of baking soda into the two quarts of sirup and add half cup of sugar Boil steadily for 15 minutes; strain and bottle hot, having the heated bottles set in hot water while you fill them. When they are cold, wrap in thick paper and keep in a cool, dry place

 Ann Pennington has a very nice ve- hicle for her first appearance, as the story appropriately enough deals with a musical comedy stage life, in which she plays the role of a young girl who rises to stardom, the real 'Tillie Twinkle toes," "Tottie Coughdrops," effect.
 She has two maiden aunts very prim and very prudish whose knowledge of life and the world in general consists of read ing the Bingville Weekly Wheeze and seeing the congregation file past the win dow each Sunday on it's way to the little church down the road.

Ways to Serve Grapefruit

Please tell me of more than one way
 of serving grapefruit My John and the
 boys are extravagantly fond of this. and
 have way of bringing home half dozen big fellows on Saturday nights when they
 want to give mother a pleasant sur prise I confess that I am little tired
 of serving them for breakfast in the same old fashion as an appetizer. Can you suggest a way of preparing them for
 dessert? T. A. L." What say you to this way of varyins the "appetizer?" Grapefruit as a first course of dinner or luncheon: Cut the
 fruit in half, removing core and seeds.
 Then heap powdered sugar upon each
 half and set in the ice for an hour to get
 chilled through. Have buried in the ice
 at the same time a bottle of the best grape juice you can get and just before
 serving the fruit to the table. pour three
 teaspoons of this upon each half of the
 fruit, opening the pulp gingerly with a
 silver knife that the liquid may sink in. For grapefruit as dessert, prepare and chill as above, and set each half in a small glass bowl half full of finely era acked or shaved ice. Lay four maras chino cherries upon the surface of each half. Grape juice, if really pure. is a delicious addition to the grapefruit appe- tiger or dessert.

 As a pair of seven-leagued boots, "the movies" and an "unswollen comprehen- sion" can't be beat.
 Practically little excuse remains for
 bad acting on the screen, as everybody
 who is anybody is starred in flmland, and none for absurdities of personality.
 Improvement is drunk with success; it
 has gone on a rampage; it is breaking
 into unheard of places and as for an
 "unswollen comprehension, I guess you
 don't even know what that means; no
 more do; I'll tell you though now, from
 what I can learn about it, is is some thing to be afraid of; something to watch; it isn't safe to take an eye off of one; it is liable to jump on you and run up your back like goose flesh" or
 the "cold shivers," grinding it's heel in your scalp, before you can stop it; 1t is a blessing they are so scarce.
 An ''unswollen comprehension" in the
 movies finds out things about itself; especially about it's nose and it's utter nonsense; one's nose should be dropped
 whenever possible, for most of us are all most certain of carrying ours all sniffed up and we can't see ourselves as we
 really are, because we haven't always a
 mirror handy; the screen has revolution
 ized this nose attitude to a great de- gree; in fact what it has done for the downward tilt of the upturned nose prac- tically justifies it's existence, but noses should be dropped, even as a subject, so we'll take up little Ann Pennington, the diminutive show girl who has made such a hit in the "Ziegfield Folies," whose nose hasn't anything to do in particular with what we are getting ready to say, for hers is very inconspicuous, and there is no nose so successful either off or 'on'' the screen as the one you don't notice.
 I remember a year ago when I was in New York I went to the premier per formance of the season of "The Passing Show" at the Winter Garden; many ce- lebrties were present, practically all the 'Ziegfield Folles" people, the opening of that delectable show being a week later.
