.DR. PRESTON WELLS .TELLSOF VISIT ID THE CENTENARY MEETING
''The Greatest Religious Show in the World" Is Statment of Bishop
 Atkins

pr. Preston B. Wells, pastor of High lands Methodist church. returned Friday from the great centenary at Columbus and in speaking of his trip yesterday he said many interesting things among them the following:
 Somebody asked me if I had been away on frolic for the past few days and l answered by saying that 1 had been away but by no means frolic The past week 1 had the pleasure of spend- ing at Columbus, Ohio. the seat of the centenary celebration of American Meth odist missions. Since June 20th, Colum- bus has been the weary heart of the Christian world. A letter today from Bishop Atkins speaks of the centenary celebration as the greatest religious show in the world. Without question, it is the ( most remarkable religious exhibition ever seen."
 Up to the last past Saturday night. over million people had passed through the gates of the exhibition srounds said Dr. Wells On July i, over 10000 peo-, pie were present On that day l sV-S on the grand stand. 1 of 10000 who sA for two hours through the intense hea\ to watch the Liberty parade--3S nations\ being represented. 1t is interesting to- note that on that same day less than 20,0D persons witnessed the Willard Dempsey fight at Toledo
 SCENE E OF CENTENARY
 Columbus was selected for the scene of the centenary because this stirr'ug western city is central to American Meth odism-easy of access; and then tho Z grounds and buildings of the Ohio State Fair association were available and com modious. There was ample room for all exhibits from the various fields.
 Tt may be interesting to note how the various buildings were used," said pr. Wells. The Asbury building contained the following: The book concern, the treasury department, hospital exhibit and first aid station, child welfare, minuts< men, board of temperance, lantern slidi and stereopticon department, world out look. the American Bible society, cor missions on finance, Epworth league, rec ords of Methodism board of education the unit system, pictures at Columbu: social rest room.

VOTED FOR WAR

T made speech in favor of the dec laration of war at tune when the vote on that measure was far from certain and voted for war. l voted for every appropriation asked by the adminstra- tion and supported this measure by speeches when a speech was in any means necessary l voted to give the administration every man. every gun and every ship it asked. I urged the military committee to waive all objec- tons to the appropriation Of $640, ,o0o 900 to build a fleet of airplanes which was at least in part Instrumental in causing a favorable report of the bill. I made the only speech in favor of the bill upon the floor of the Senate.
 T believe that l am the first man of the military committee of the Senate to advocate the raising the pay of the pri- vate to $3o per month. Whether or not I was the first, I was among early advo- cates of the measure and gave it my full support in the Senate
 As a member of the military com mittee I constantly attended conferences between that committee and the war board and every member of that com mittee and the war board will certify that my insistence from first to last was that the men should be backed by every resource of the nation

COMMITTEE CALLS ON HIM

A committee composed of abo out 25 men yesterday afternoon called on the Senator at the Tutwiler hotel and ex- pressed their willingness to hear him speak. They admitted that they were a committee from some organiza ton here but would not give the name of the organization. The following were among those on the committed: Rev. R. l.. Durant, Dr. Byron Dozier, Col. George OBeer, Mack M Johnson, A. l.. Mays, J. c. Johnson, Tom Marshall. Dr. O. T. Dozier, J. E. Osburn, W. M. Ramp lain, A. J. McRimmon, c. B. Davenport and J. H. Nunnally.
 The committee had no chairman, it was stated, and told General Emmett Newton, representative of Senator Reed, that they believed in free speech, a free press and the right of every man to worship according to the dictates of his own conscience" Members of the committee stated that they were willing to hear anybody speak
 Senator Reed stated last night that he originally did not mean to speak In Birmingham. He said that he went to Atlanta and that General Newton then arranged for him to speak here. T thought that there would be no great harm in that" the senator said.
 He said that newspapers should not publish statements of irresponsible persons that challenged the loyalty of deserving men, but that newspapers often do this.
 He denied emphatically that the Mis- souri legislature had demanded his re- signation, stating also, that he did not care to become involved in a discussion about such.
 The committee that expressed desire that Senator Reed speak here was at the Tutwiler after the adjournme mt of the American Legion held yesterday afternoon at which the legion request ed, by resolution that Senator Reed refrain from speaking here.

AUTO DEALERS OF STATE ID MEET AT TUTW|LER HOTEL Local Committee Plans Sur prise for Delegates-Much Important Business
 on Hand

Automobile dealers from all sections of the state have begun arriving to at tend the meeting here today and to- morrow of the Alabama Automobile Deal CTS association, and officials report that there will be large attendance as ev- cry one that comes in says that there will be more from his section to arrive this morning. The first to arrive was the advanace guard from Montgomery where practically every dealer in the city is a member of the association.
 This will be one of the most important meetings that the association has had, as there is quite a bit of business to come before the meeting that will mean great deal to automobile dealers wheth- CT they are members or not, the legisla- tive committee will make report on what they have done since the meeting in Montgomery in January and what they have decided to do in reguards to sev- eral matters that was referred to them as the last meeting

AIRPLANE INVESTIGATION

T was one of the subcommittee of five appointed to investigate the airplane sit uation and assisted in disclosing the fact that our airplane programme was suffer- ing from grave mismanagement, and 1t was because of that report that the en- tire management was changed, the air plane programme readjusted and that finally the government got in position where 1t was really manufacturing some planes that were reasonably fit for serv ice upon the battle front. Unfortunately not many reached France in time to be of actual service. but lives of gallant boys were undoubtedly saved that would otherwise have been sacrificed.
 T did oppose the granting of certain powers to MT. Hoover. 1 believed then and believe now they involved econom- ic mistakes. That is the sum total of anything that can be called opposition.
 The man that dares to challenge my loyalty or to intimate that l haven't been friend to the soldier is an un- mitigated scoundrel"
 Senator Reed last night denied a re- quest made Saturday night by William L. White that the senator divide the time at the meeting to be held tonight with him. allowing him to speak in favor of the league. Senator Reed said that while he would like to let the people hear both sides, 1t would re- quire several hours and thus take up too mn iran

any recipe. Fer instance, when one
tablespoonful of baking powder is called
for use one scant teaspoonful of soda
and two scant teaspoonsful of cream
of tartar, emitting the filler. If too
much soda is added it combines with
the fat and the resulting taste is
"soapy." The soda should be thoroughly
mixed with the other dry ingredients.
Some housewives have found the method
of mixing the soda with the liquid the
most satisfactory way.
Boiled frosting is, no doubt, the most
popular icing for a cake. Sometimes
the housewife finds that the finished
product is "grainy" instead of fluffy
and creamy. This condition may be
avoided by the addition of a slight
amount of acid, in the form of cream
of tartar or lemon juice The acid pre-
vents or retards capitalization. If too
much acid is used or if the cooking is
prolonged the frosting is liable to be
sticky rather than creamy The tenn
perature of the sugar syrup for boiled
frosting should be 238 degrees Fahren-
heit on the candy thermometer. If the
kitchen does not boast thermometer, the
syrup should be boiled until it will spin
thread when dropped from the tip of a
spoon. During the first few minutes of
boiling the syrup keep sthe pan covered,
so that the steam collecting will drop
back and wash away the crystals that
might form On the sides of the pan.
Many cakes have been spoiled by the
baking. Too much haste and very hot
oven are just as disastrous as an oven
that is too cool. If the oven is too hot
the cake cannot rise normally, and #
too cool it will rise too much, resulting
in a cake that is not done inside and
which will fall when removed from the
oven.
The oven temperature for cakes of
the sponge and angel food type should
range from 800 to $50 degrees Fahren-
heit, starting at the lower temperature
and gradually increasing toward the end
of the baking.
Gingerbread should be baked at q
temperature between $50 and $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and plain cake, choco-
late cake and other butter cakes at $50
to 800 degrees Fahrenheit
The time for baking a cake should be
divided into four parts. During the
first and second quarters the cake rises
and browns in spots, in the third quar-
ter it browns all over and in the last
quarter it shrinks from the sides of the
pan and becomes elastic to the touch

cooks. Lady Baltimore cake may be a
melting CONNECTION Of delicious havors. or
1t may be a mediocre white cake of little
or no character. Some of the choicest
OF the cake and frosting recipes in the
whole range of the cookbook have lust
been given, but there is many slip be-
tween the recipe and the lip unless the
basic principles underlying cake making
are thoroughly understood.
There are several different methods of
mixing cake, but the experienced cake
maker knows that it doesn't depend so
much on the order and method of COM
bining as upon the thoroughness of
mixing. The old reliable method of
dreaming the butter, adding the sugar
gradually, the lightly beaten yolks, then
the sifted -four with the baking powder
and the milk alternately, and finally
folding in the stiffly beaten egg whites
is sure to give tender, fine textured
cake
If mechanical cake mixer is used all
of the ingredients may be combined at
once and, owing to the greater efficiency
of the machine, the whole work may be
done in two minutes.

and the artistic old holders were coerced

that time. One little old lady, now re-

of the time that she possessed, besides a
large, gloomy house and great deal Of
black walnut furniture, sixteen trunks
filled with old clothing that she could
not find the courage to dispose Of. Com

weeks to recover from, for not only did
she clean her house each time but also

to their homeland for more and more
luxuries, for household furniture, for
clothes. But still the ships We're small;
it took many weeks to sail backward and
forward upon the perilous waterways
and the supply could not crowd even
their simple homes. Hence the so-called
colonial period remained beautifully
free from 'junk." Homes then were
still full Of the rest giving spaces which
our modern women are beginning to turn
back to and copy. Furniture was re-
freshing in it's simple straight lines. One
of the few pieces that deserve criticism
was the Colonial bed, with it's heat Gre

curtains and its dust catching valances.

after all the ingredients have been CON-
bined. If the cake is not beaten enough
it is coarse grained, and if it has re-
ceived too much beating the texture of
the finished product is too compact and
may show long, narrow air spaces. Two
minutes of vigorous overland beating is
sufficient to combine thoroughly the
ingredients of cake.
1t is often helpful to know what is the
effect if one or more of the ingredients
of recipe are varied at the dictates of
necessity. More fat added to cake
thins the batter, and this may be Offset
by the addition of eggs or of more flour
and baking powder. If oil is substis
tuted for butter, then the other liquids

should be reduced about one-ffth, and
the result will be cake of light, spongy
texture. If a very hard fat is used
(such as suet) then the texture will be
close grained and firm, due to the re-
hardening of the fat. If butter or fat
of about the same physical characters-
tics is used, the cake will be of medius
texture. Fat may be substituted for egg
yolks if additional whites are used. AL
low an extra teaspoonful of fat for each
additional white used and egg yolk
omitted. Whenever melted fat is added
it should not be hot, or the cake will be-
come tough and possibly heavy.
In recipe which calls for one cup of
milk other liquids may be substituted,
such as water, fresh or sour whey, po-
tato water and sweet or sour cream. If
water is substituted, use only seven
eighths of a cupful to allow for the
solids in milk. However, with sour or
fresh whey or potato water the full cup
full is substituted. If sour whey is
used, add one-eighth of teaspoonful
of soda to neutralize the acid and the
same amount of baking power specified
in the original recipe. If sour milk is
used in cake calling for one cup of
sweet milk and three teaspoonsful of
baking powder, use one-fourth teaspoon
full of soda and only two teaspoonsful
of baking powder. If melted chocolate is
added to vanilla cake recipe, decrease
the amount of -four slightly, because the
starch in the chocolate acts as a thick
ening agent.
If the recipe calls for cream and there
happens to be no cream at the house
wife's disposal, milk and butter may be
substituted with very satisfactory re-
suits. According to experiments pub
lished by Cornell University, use three
quarters Of cupful of milk and four
tablespoonful Of butterine for one cup
full of thin cream, and for the heavy
cream use about nine tablespoonsful of
the liquid and seven and one-half of
butterine.
Sometimes the housewife finds her
baking powder can empty and cake
in the process of making. Baking
powder is composed of cream of tartar,
soda and filler, generally cornstarch.
Therefore, cream of tartar and soda may
be substituted for the baking powder in
