Faster Carol.

Easter Carol In the bonds of Death He lay, Who for our offense was slain, But the Lord is risen today, Christ hath brought us life again. Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud with cheerful voice.
 Alleluia Of the sons of men was none Who could break the bonds of Death, Sin this mischief dire had done, Innocent was none on earth, Wherefore Death grew strong and bold, Would all men in his prison hold.
 Alleluia! Jesus Christ, Gods only Son, Came at last our foe to smite, All our sins away hath done, Done away Deaths power and right, Only the form of Death is left, Of, his sting he is bereft;
 Alleluia! Let us keep high festival, On this most blessed day of days. When God, His mercy showed to all! Our Sun is risen with brightest rays, And our dark hearts rejoice to see Sin and night before Him flee.
 Alleluia!
 Luther, 1924.

Enouch for Four L,oaves.

Enough for Four 1OavcS.
 Two and one-half pounds or 1-4 scant quarts sifted bread flour. 3-4 pound or 2-3 cupfuls corn meal, 2 cakes of compressed yeast, level ta- blespoonfuls of sugar, 1 1-2 level ta- biespoonfuls of salt. About quart of liquid (water, milk or equal parts of milk and water). Three level ta- blespoonfuls of shortening, if desir- ed.
 If milk is used 1t should be scala ed and then cooled until lukewarm. Less yeast may be used but more time for rising will then be required.
 Make a sponge with 2 pounds of white flour, the yeast, salt, sugar and the lukewarm liquid. Cover and set in a moderately warm place to rise, where it will be free rpm drafts and where the temperature will be be- tween 80 degres and 8S degrees F. When the sponge has become very light, which should occur within two hours, beat it up thoroughly, add the softened shortening, If this is to be used, and gradually work in the re- mainder of the wheat flour which has been sifted with the corn meal. Knead the mixture until smooth and elastic dough has been formed which is fairly soft, but not sticky. If the dough is too stiff or too soft, add a little more water or flour as required, kneading we'll after each addition. Cover and set back to rise again un- til double in volume, which will re- uuire from l to 2 hours. Knead lightly, divide into three or four ap- proximately equal portions. reserving small ball of dough for an "indi- cator." Place this ball of dough in a small jelly-glass having straight sides, which has been slightly warmed. Note the volume of dough in the tumbler and mark the slAss at twice this vol Ume. .
 Mold the loaves and place in slight Iy warmed and greased pans. Place these, together with the glass contain ing the sindicator," in the same warm place and let rise until. the "indica- tor' shows that 1t has just doubled in volume. Then place the 1oaves in the soven.s which. should Pe4at<a good steady heat t40o per cent. to 425 per cent. FL, and make 45 te 60 min utes. ne

Wedding Rings Are
 Rated As Luxuries

London, April 14.-A manufacturer of wedding rings has just failed in an effort to get the military tribunals to declare his work of national impor- tance justifying military exemption.
 DO you think weddings would cease if there were no rings?" asked the head of the tribunal.
 1T cannot say that" replied the manufacturer, "but we do a good trade, and so far as 1t encourages marriage, it is certainly of national importance"
 The tribunal refued his appeal de- claring that wedding rings came un- der the head of jewelry as purely luxury business.

Wheat and Corn Bread.

Two methods for wheat-and-corn bread have been formulated and test ed by H. l.. Wessling, assistant chem ist in the Bureau of Chemistry, U. s. Department of Agriculture. Accord ing to the one method the raw meal is employed directly in preparing the dough and no extra time or labor IS required in making the bread this way. According to the second method the meal is partially cooked before introducing 1t into the dough. While this does entail a slight amount Of additional time and labor, the result is loaf of better quality which well repays the extra effort expended.

PEOPLE OCCUPYING AUTO
WHICH OVERTURNED; MRS. T. E. WELLES
SLIGHTLY HURT: LETTER MAIL COMES

Carrying out the traditions that
where a man can go, the United States
mail must go, Chief Clerk Leander
Poole, of the United States mail SER
vice, with headquarters at Bir7ning-
ham, Ala, arrived this morning at 1
o'clock in an automobile from F1om-
atom, Ala, with six pouches of first
class mail for Pensacola. This feat
was accomplished under almost unsur-
mountable obstacles, but the mail
was delivered at the Pensacola post
office and it is possible that Chief
Clerk Poole will today arrange for
a one-trip auto service from Pensa-
cola to Flomaton, to handle first-class
mail only. 1t is possible that trains
will be running Tuesday.
In addition to br&ging the mail,
the auto engaged by Mr.. Poole had
as passengers Lieutenant Frederick j.
Blount, returning from France, and
his father, Hon. VIM. A. Blount. re-
turning from northern New York and
Canada. Another passenger was Mrs.
T. E. Welles, of Nnsacola, who was
returning from Montgomery. Eighteen
miles north of Pensacola, while the
mail carrying auto was trying to give
half the road to another car, soft
place in the road was encountered,
and in another minute the big auto

BRIDGE OVER THE BIG
BAYOU IS REPORTED
NOW AS PASSABLE

Under the personal supervision of
Captain Warfeld, of the navy aero
nautic station, a company of one hun
dred student aviators completed the
repairs on Big Bayou bridge and
opened it to traffic late last evening.
The embryo bridge builders and their
commander began work on the bridge
early Saturday morning.
Forty feet of the structure had
been washed out near the west side
and after a quick survey Captain
Warfield ordered the timbers neces-
sary to make the repairs, from the
yard. These were transported with
teams from Fort Barrancas and with
a truck from the yard.
The quick repair of the damage
has obliterated the dreams of sudden
wealth visioned by negro boys who.
for the past two days have been coin
ing money by communicating skiffs
and transporting passengers across
the bayou for a small fee.
The student aviators performed quite
feat in completing forty feet of
bridge work in two days. Ten feet
a day is supposed to be a remarkable
days wark for contracted labor.

REPORTED LYING
ON GULF BEACH
PARTIES REACHING PENSACOLA
YESTERAY REPORT FAMILIAR
CRAFT SUFFERED IN FRIDAY
STORM.

According to reports reaching Pen
sacola yesterday morning the steamer
Tarpon is lying on the gulf beach near
st. Andrews, having capslzed during
the hurricane which struck the quiz
coast Friday. No information con-
corning the fate of Captain W: =.
Barrow, or the crew is obtainable.
The account of the wreck of this
welI-known craft, which has piled 10
cal waters for so many ytars, was
brought to the city by ]. ]. McCas-
kill of Freeport who arrived yester-
dav morning on the launch Minnie
Lee.
In discussing the wreck of the Tar
pom Mr.. McCaskill stated that he had
no first hand knowledge of the fate
of the boat but that n. Mcclure,
head bookkeeper Of the McCasklii
firm at DeFuniak had told the story
of the wreck and credited it to are
porter of the DeFuniak Breeze, who
said he had seen the boat on the beach
A number of others arrived on the
Minnie Lee yesterday morning bring
ing similar reports and as the boat
had not arrived at late hour Sun
day night it is feared that the reports
are true. According to other reports

| rowly missed several such places. and
had it not have been for the careful
ness of Mr.. Galloway, who drove our
auto, we would likely have shared the
fate of the chorus girls"
Probably the first news of the out
side world was brought by the early
morning arrivals. One wire is work
ing out of Flomaton to Mobile, it
was stated, and this was a shaky
one. Some interruption on the
Dothan branch of the Alabama rail
road is experienced between Dothan
and Elba, and 1t is believed there has
been considerable damage in that sec
tion Exceedingly heavy rains fell in
Montgomery. and the information
brought by the early arrivals was that
the ship building plant at Mobile was
undamaged and would go to work to-
day.
Mr.. Poole admitted that a double
purpose brought him here. In addi-
ton to bringing the half dozen
pouches of mall he came here for
the purpose of installing a closed
pouch service over the G.. F. & A.
system, and until further notice there
will be no clerk placed on this road.
Developments, however, are expected
to call for the service of clerk on
the new route.

BLACKWELL BOYS
NOT YETLOCATED

DILIGENT STARCH IN EVERY
DIRECTION HAS BEEN WITH
OUT RESUL-TO SEND OUT DE-
SCRIPTIONS TODAY.

Diligent search on the part of
county officers yesterday failed to
locate the Blackwell brothers. who
made their escape from the county
Jail some time Saturday morning.
Sheriff Van Pelt and every deputy
in service in service Saturday and
Sunday hunted every section of the
county, but up to a late hour no salts
factory progress was made. In fact,
what appears strange, is the almost
total absence of reports of the hunted
men being seen.
The sheriff will continue the man
hunt today, and when telephone and
telegraph facilities are availoble. he
will send the descriptions of the men
broadcast. The absence of these IA
cilities during the past few days has
been a great detriment to the officers
in locating the men.

Welles underneath, but fortunately in
fiicting no serious injuries. She was
painfully hurt, however.
Lieutenant Blount was thrown out,
as was his father, but neither of
them suffered injuries to speak of,
SO far as could be determined up to
the hour of going to press.
Chief Clerk Poole, however, who
did not care to discuss the accident
in the least, suffered sprained ankle,
but with all that he managed to de-
liver his precious charge to the post
office, the first of its kind received
here in three or four days.
Mrs. Welles was hurried to her
home on East Gadsden street, where
physician was called.
At one point up the road, in the
Moliro vicinity, the early arrivals
reported, there was whole truck full
of girls from a troupe which had
been filling a weeks engagement at
Pensacola. "There were several very
bad places in the road up in that
part of the county," said one of the
early arrivals, ''and it looked to me
that the truck loaded with girls had
found the worst place, for it is stuck

MEN RETURNING HERE AT

John T. Holland, who left here
some weeks ago with the first draft

rejected and would return home just
as soon as they could get accommo-
dations.
"Trains are running from Mont

Mr.. Holland said, but / stopped over
a short time at Spartanburg, South
Carolina, and then came on to Mont
gomery. I was there when the storm
occurred here and you know you can
hear almost any kind of report
about Pensacola's storm damage. /

Pelt at Flomaton in his automobile,
and he let me come with him if work

the proof" he said, exposing hands
and arms filled with scars caused
firm lifting whole trees and stumps
out of the road" he said.
Asked how the "boys" of Pensaco--
la were getting along, Mr.. Holland
stated that it was untrue that Labra-
to had jumped from a train and had
attempted to make a getaway. HE
didn't have to. for he was rejected,
and will come back here | understand,
and go into business. l don't see how
such bull could have been printed
about the boy for he never made any
attempt to get away but he sure
was glad when he was rejected"
