WOMAN AND HOME


and too hot an oven ruin many a cake
that would be a success if it had a
chance.
In filling the tin have the center of
the cake slightly lower than the sides
This brings larger proportion of
the batter in direct contact with the
heat of the pan and prevents the cake
from rising too high at the center.
Some expert cake makers recon-
mend starting your cakes in a per-
fectly cold oven. The results are
perfectly beautiful cakes, but the
average housewife does not have
time for such slow baking. How
ever, it is never necessary to spoil
an otherwise good cake by poor bak-
ing. 1t is far safer to err on the
side Of GOODNESS rather than have too
intense a heat.

w. c. T. U. in Iowa

A flying trip across Iowa shows
one thing plainly-the Iowa w. c. T.
u. means business. That business is
to secure constitutional prohibition
for Iowa next October. This will
clinch the statutory prohibition al
ready won. Only one thing can lose
the state to the drys and that is over
confidence.
But Iowa women, with their far
sighted president, Mrs. Ida B. Wise
Smith, are not to be caught mapping
They are stirring up men and women
All effective modern methods to win
a state will be tried. Help will be
rushed in. Iowa women are already
in the field. Organization is to be
pushed. The general officers intend
to get out every rural voter. That
rural vote is the one that will win OF
lose the issue. The women are also
lined up on the right side. The word
has gone out to get in touch with the
laboring classes of the state.

USE FOR BLIGHTED WOOD
Chestnut Timber Not in It's First Years of Life Still Available
 for Many Purposes.

Blighted chestnut timber resists decay as well as timber from healthy trees, and parked dead wood is much more durable than unpeeled live wood, so far as three-year test will determine, according to the forest service. The blight is otherwise known as the chestnut-tree bark dis ease. In 1913 poles, ties and posts cut from blight-killed, blight-infect- ed and healthy chestnut trees were carefully tagged and placed in posi- tion. A recent annual inspection of the experiments determined that all of the material was in good condi- tion except for deterioration of sap wood and knots. The sapwood of chestnut is not durable, and that on ties and on butts of poles and posts and on unbarked posts is now mostly decayed. Round posts cut from small limby trees suffer early decay in the knots, which carry the decay into the post and thus weaken it.
 The chestnut durability experi- ments to date indicate that blight killed or infected trees yield timber just as durable as that from healthy trees. In fact, a piece from sea- soned dead tree is more durable than an unbarked piece from a live tree. No one should therefore hesi- tate to use timber from blight-killed or infected trees for purposes for which chestnut is suitable and dur ability is consideration.

BRITAIN PREPARING AIRPLANEs

Rear Admiral Peary, U. s. N., is responsible for a very remarkable statement concerning preparations in Europe for extending the scope and power of aerial warfare.
 Development of the airplane will mean revolution in travel and com- merce as 1t has meant in "war,o Rear Admiral Peary said. "In France there are said to be more men in the aviation service than are in the army of the United States, and in Great Britain more than in our navy. Germany is said to have 10,- 900 airplanes. Great Britain is pre- pairing for an aviation army of 160,- 900 men with fleet of 10000 air. planes. The time is near when the air service will be more important than the army and navy combined. It is the belief of many statesmen that the decision in the great war may come in the air."
