AT THE MAJESTIC

The double bill for Sunday is gain ing in favor with the patrons of the cozy little theatre. the Majestic To- day Manager F'rankel offers his pat rons brand new Chaplin comedy, "Charlie's Picnic.''
 This is in three acts and has never been shown in Birmingham before.
 The Chaplin fans have seen Charlie on roller skates. as fireman anl numerous other funny characters, but you can imagine the ludicrous situ- ations that can arise at a picnic. There has been no comedy yet that equaled "Charlie's Picnic" When Charlie gives his two pet bears a taste of high life" teaching them to drink cham pagne and the bears get on good old-fashioned jag there are more laughs coming than from watching a cage of monkeys
 The regular Mutual Master picture, Miserable Lee" featuring Annie Lit the bill.
 For Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, Cobb and Larose, assisted by their clever company of capable play CTS, will present "The Plotters.'
 The scene of this sketch is laid in Paris. Madam La Mar. portrayed by Miss Stella Mayfield. is trying to get into high society when she meets two Dutch soldiers of fortune who plan to take advantage of the unsuspecting lady. Schultz and Heinze, the adven- turers, manage to dupe the madam. Schultz impersonates baron. The olotters are overheard by Matilda

 The Lyric has an unusually attrac- tive and entertaining bill of vaudeville. Rita Mario, with score of attractive young women in an orchestra, will fur nish excellent music. The only Chi nese vocal quartet in vaudeville will be a feature at the Lyric for the first half of the week. Several other high class Keith acts and Pathe pictures are booked.
 The Bijou has an unusual attrac- ton of merit in Dream Girl O Mine, which will play a weeks engagement at the popular playhouse. This play did much to make that well known player, Cbauncey Olcott, famous as with it he had the greatest success of his ca reer. It is a cleverly conceived story and Irish plotting against British domination. Clifford Nipple is cast in the leading role.

AT THE BIJOU

An attraction of more than usual inter- est is booked at the Bijou this week, with special Monday matinee in addition 10 the regular performances. Clifford and Nipple and his company will be seen m a play of Irish theme, character and dress, ''Dream Girl O Mine" It tells a story of people who, because of their ideas. became involved in both love af- fairs and plots against the British crown when Ireland was struggling against the British oppression
 Although there is much of Irish wrongs en the plot, the play is one of love, laughter and song and the schemlng against the crown is more of a back ground than a dominating feature of the well conceived three acts that will serve to amuse and entertain the audience.
 Clifford Nipple is young actor of eX- cellent stage appearance. He has a well cultivated baritone voice and during the action of the play renders several selec- tions which go far to tighten the serious moments of the story. It is romantic concet and well told. The characters are clean cut and cleverly, drawn and there is never a dull moment from the time the curtain rises until it falls on the last scene.
 Dream Girl O Mine" is one of the best efforts of that very clever dra matist. Rida Johnson Young, and if has stood the test of repeated pre- sentation throughout the country. Chauncey Olcott played the part of Dare ODonnell'' in this piece all ovec the land This season he is succeeded by Clifford Nipple. in voice and man ner well suited to play the roll of Dare" well known in Ireland as the poet patriot. Still, hes was an ardent wooer as well, this dashing young TYi with his love af- fairs that the play deals. Many and clever are the complications and plots of the story, the working out of which serves to introduce the audience to some clever and versatile artists of great ability

inch thick. 1t should be made the day
before it is to be used. When ready
to cook cut into pieces three inches
long and two wide. 1t should be cut
with a broad knife blade and handled
very carefully. Cover each piece with
sifted cracker crumbs, dip in egg and

THINNING THE APPLE TREES
Much of Alternate Bearing OF Or
chards Is Due to OVerbearlng-
Plan for Improvement.

One always feels sorry for the over
loaded apple tree. With its branches
breaking or bending to the ground
under the weight Of the surplus 1ru!t
it reminds you of a man trying to
carry load that is too heavy for
his strength and stature. There is
strain upon the forces of the tree that
will injure its future usefulness. IN
doubtedly much Of the alternate bear
ing Of orchards is due to oyerbearing
one year, requiring the next year for
the trees to rcCuperate.
By pulling off portion Of the fruit
early in the season that remaining
has a better opportunity of attaining
good size, color and quality, the three
characteristics demanded by the
market. Obviously it is better to pro-
duce a few bushels Of high-class ap-
pies that bring the highest price than
to produce double or three times that
amount of fruit that is small and in
ferior and that cannot be sold except
for cider making.
The time to thin apples is after what
is known as the June drop" when
the fruit injured by disease and in
sects has fallen off. Then one can
determine about how many apples
should be left on the tree to mature.
1t is not an easy task to thin fruit;
one may have to so over the tree
several times before the work is done
properly. 1t looks like waste 10 pun
off a lot Of thrifty-looking young ap-
pies and many people haven't the
courage to do it. Thin to one apple
every six or eight inches as nearly as
possible. OF course the wormy and
inferior specimens should be chosen
first and only the best left. Those
who are making apple growing a spe-
cialty consider this an important part
of the seasons work.

WITH APPLE As BASIS
SUGGESTIONS FOR SEVERAL AP.
PETlzING CONNECTIONS.
Ia Addition to Its Medicinal Virtues,
the Fruit Forms One OF the Best
Foundations for Innumerable
DeIicacies.

Ample Cobbler.-Pare and quarter
enough tart apples to fill baking dish
three-fourths full. Cover with rich
baking powder biscuit dough made
soft enough to stir, spread it over the
apples without rolling. Make several
cuts in the center to allow the steam
to escape. Bake for three-quarters OF
an hour and serve hot with sugar and
rich cream.
CoddIcd Apples.-Take tart, ripe
apples Of uniform size, remove the
cores. Place the fruit in the bottom
Of a porcelain KETTLE spread thiclly
with sugar; cover the bottom of the
kettle with water and allow the ap-
pies to simmer until tender. Pour the
strip over the apples and serve cold.
Apple Conservation each pound OF
quartered and pared apples allow
three-Quarters of a pound of sugar and
half pint of water. Boil sugar and
water until rich strip is formed; add
the apples and simmer until clear.
Take up carefully, lay on plates and
dry in the sun. Roll in sugar and
pack in tin boxes lined with waXed
paper.
Apple Compete and Orange Marina
lade.-Boil II tart apples in one quart
Of water until tender, strain through
a jelly bag; add one pound of granu-
lated sugar and let boil. While boil
ing add II apples, cored and pared.
When the apples are tender, drain
them carefullyin a perforated skinner.
Boil the strip until it jells; fill the ap-
pies with orange marmalade and pour
the strip over them. Serve with
whipped cream.
Crab Apple MaTmaIade.-Wash and
core crab apples and put them through
the meat chopper. Put into a pre-
serving kettle and add water until it
shows through the top layer Of apples.
Cook until soft. Weigh and add an
equal weight of sugar. Cook until the
mixture forms jelly when cooled and
pour into sterilized glasses. Cover
with parafin.
Apple Custard.-Beat the yolks of
four eggs and add one-half cupful Of
sugar; cook for one or two minutes
and remove from the fire. Gradually
add one pint of grated apple. Pour
into a serving dish and cover with a
meringue made of the well-beaten
whites of four eggs and three table,
spoonfuls of powdered sugar.

Details of Bridge Grating.

years the scions will grow so as to
completely cover the trunk. A
pamphlet just issued by the depart
ment of agriculture tells how this is
done. The illustration shows the de-
tails Of bridge grating, and will prob
ably be understood without further
description. After little practice the
operator will learn how to do this
rapidly and effectively, and if the in
jured trees are taken in time, they
would be saved so that they will grow
proftably. Sometimes when there is
an inch or so of living bark left, con-
Meeting the lower with the upper por-
ton, a tree will recover without the
bridge grating. In that case it is de-
sirable to cover the wounded surface
with grating wax or earth, and we
would trim the top of the tree quite
severely, so that the limited strip Of
bark can supply sufficient sap.

Cheese Croduettes.

Make a white sauce, using two ia
blespoonfuls of butter, one-third cup
full Of -four, two-thirds cupful of milk.
Add one-fourth teaspoonful Of salt,
paprika, the yolks of two eggs, one
half cupful cream cheese, grated, and
one cupful Of cream cheese cut in
small pieces. Cool, shape, allowing
one rounding tablespoonful to each
croquette, and roll in balls. Add two
tablespoonfuls of cold water to the
whites of the eggs, dip in crumbs pre-
pared by drying the bread, and put
ting through the meat chopper. Dip
in the egg, then in crumbs again.
Fry in deep fat and drain on brown
naper. This is very hearty dish,
good for hard labor, indoors or out.

Der, generally because Of o growth of
mold. Sometimes the moldy crack
resting against the filler infects it
and the egg in the next cell becomes
moldy. Each leaking egg causes about
two eggs besides itself to rot. On the
other hand, good early spring eggs
with sound, clean shells show less
than l per cent loss from decay by
November. In other words, six eggs
i'll every dozen cracked eggs will rot,
while only one sound egg in - dozen
will rot, all other conditions being
equal. The cracked eggs are a heavy
economic loss.
Loss S94 Per Carload.
Eggs at the eastern seaboard dur.
ing the early spring are commonly
worth about 20 cents a dozen. Car
rying charges, including insurance,
are usually about 2 cents a dozen.
Therefore, the nine cracked eggs
which are spoiled by November show
a total loss, not only of their value
when they we're stored, which was
about Is cents, but also the carrying
charges, or a total of 161a cents.
About ten cracked eggs out of the
10, on the average, will not spoil, but
are much lower in grade when coming
out of storage than the sound eggs.
They will be sold for about SO per cent
less than the sound, good eggs, max
ing, on 25-cent basis, another loss
of 7 cents, or total loss due to
cracked eggs alone of 23R cents a
case, or about $94 on a carload Of 400
cases.
This loss Of 231s cents a case, which
is believed to be a conservative esti-
mate, quickly mounts up to imposing
figures when the vast number Of cases
of eggs that are stored is taken into
consideration. In As cold-storage
houses alone, according to the report
of the American Warehousemen's as
ISOLATION, about 3,750,000 cases of eggs
were in storage on July l, 1915. If
these cases suffered the average dam
&ge, in these warehouses alone there
would be a loss to the country of
1881 900 that might have been saved
to the egg industry from producer to
the consumer if shippers had been
more careful in packing their early
spring eggs.

shipped in less than car lots, the tran.
sit damage is generally multiplied

and the consumer, investigations show,
is certainly not less than 10 per cent,
and may be even greater. The 10
eggs out of 100 that are damaged con

about two eggs which are total loss
Cracked Eggs Lower Prices.
Because there are so many lightly
cracked eggs and because they will
bring a lower price if put in cases by
themselves, most shippers have got
into the habit of including about .
per cent Of cracked eggs in the cases
Of supposedly sound eggs. This prac'
tice has continued so long that the re-
ceiyers i'll cities have adjusted prices
accordingly. On the average the ship
per is really paid for just what he
ships.
Very often the receiver blames the
railroad for all the light as we'll as the
heavy damage in the case; and since
the inclusion OF the per cent of light
ly damaged eggs has become generally
known, it commonly is supposed that
it is these eggs which, being weak,
are further damaged in transit. The
investigators of the department, bow.
ever, find that these light cracks, or
even dents, il Teil packed, loaded,
and transported, are only one-third
more liable to damage than are the
sound eggs similarly handled. If the
cases are we'll packed and shipped in
wellloaded car lots, the additional
liability to damage is only about one
fifth of an egg per case. From the
viewpoint of transportation alone the
5 per cent Of lightly cracked eggs
appears to be comparatively unimpor-
tant.
Cracked Eggs Cause Serious Loss 1t
Stored.
From the viewpoint of cold storage,
however, even lightly cracked eggs
are of great importance. The inTes-
