BuckWheat Bread.

An old recipe book, published in the
middle of the last century. makes the
sage remark that the only way to use
buckwheat satisfactorily is in griddle
cakes. Now. our modern idea is quite
different from this one, for when war
taught us the necessity for conserving
wheat we learned to use buckwheat
in many ways other than for griddle
cakes And we have found, those of
us who are not addicted to griddle
cakes. that buckwheat off the griddle
is better than buckw heat on the grid
die. Here are some of the recipes
that We found especially good:
Buckwheat Muffins.-Sift together a
cup each Of white and buckwheat
flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder.
half a teaspoonful of soda, tea
and mix 1t with one cup of sour milk
two tablespoonful of cooking oil
and scant tablespoonful of molasses
Beat thoroughly and cook in hot
creased muffin tins.
Buckwheat Quick Rread.-One cup
buck wheat one cup bread -four two
teaspoonfuls baking powder one tea
spoonful salt. one-third cup molasses.
one cup milk. one-half cup nuts. or
nuts and candied orange peelS. if de-
sired. Mix and sift the dry ingre-
dients. then add the liquids. and beat
the mixture thoroughly. Pour it into
CREASED pan. Let it stand for ten
minutes Bake it for one hour in a
very slow oven.
BucllWheat Biscuits.-One-h half cup
flour. one-half cup buckwheat -four.

that they bring an interesting design
| into play.
Ostrich and velvet are combined in
some lovely flowers for trimming
! evening frocks. The petals of the
| flowers are made of soft silk velvet.
! The center of the flowers is made of
soft. waving sprays of ostrich f1ues.
! each tipped with n little wax-like
! substance that makes the graceful os-
! trich f1ue top heavy. and thereby adds
a hundredfold to it's charm.
There are chaplets of flowers for
| the hair. Sometimes they are called
! fllets. Anyway, they are wreaths for
, the hair made of flowers of tinsel and
| velvet and silk, in all the lovely col
| ors of dozen rainbows. One sort is
made of gilded laurel leaves. but it.
| in its simplicity, is no more attrac-
] tive than wreath of tiny flowers of
| all colors. deity intertwined.
| One of the new French blouses
shows a panel back and front of heavy
] metallic brocade on blouse of geor-
gette. The brocade is used in bright
! colors. They say the French women
| themselves do not wear these blouses.
but that they are made by the Paris
dressmakers just for US. They are
ioFeIy, anyway.
There is another charming blouse
made of apple-green georgette laid
| in fine pleats all round about. 1t is
trimmed with narrow piping at
sleeves and throat of black silk.
A shoulder scarf or collar of mara
bou is edged with cleaning coque
feathers.
There is a handbag of velvet with
fringe. thin, long and silky. of
monkey fur.
A little girls coat is made of white
and gold brocade. 1t is quite too elab-
crate for usual wear, but with all its
grandeur it is simple in design and
color, and is really attractive.
For young girls at school there are
charming frocks made of the softest
duvetyn, embroidered simply in COL
ored woods.
Wool threads are couched into place
to form the trimming on velvet hat.
There are lovely silk quilted loung
ing robes. Not the straight. narrow
ones Of Japanese make. But full. real
ly voluminous ones. that are more be-
coming and at the same time mu-e
comfortable for coldweather loung
ing than the Japanese ones. They are
made in soft and beautiful silk.
A little girls frock shows red
blouse of wool and a short white
skirt of serge, laid in fine plaits.
One of tn hats of velours shows
trimming of quilts. embroidered with
gold threads. They lie fat against
brow and crown.
A net blouse Of white is trimmed
with tiny wreaths of little silk flow
ers in blue, pink and corn color.
A shoulder scarf Of moleskin has
deep pockets. one at each end, of gray
squirrel. The combination is charm
ing. There is a hat to go with the
scarf showing combination of the
two furs.
Gray embroidery on blue and blue
on gray are in good style for blouses.

ARABS SKILLED IN AVIATION
Their Mechanicians Said to Have Been
Pioneers in the Art-in the Sec.
ond Century.

The Aisle Arabe has some interesting
sidelights on the early history of avi-
ation, so far as it concerns the Arab
race. According to this paper, it was
at the end of the second century, and
the beginning Of the third, that the
Arab race began to be influenced by
the Greeks and Indians. 1t was in
Bagdad that the mathematical and
mechanical arts first began to make
their appearance. With the coming Of
these different studies the horizon OF
the Arabs became enlarged. 1t was
about this period that the grand
Caliph Haroun al-Raschid sent his
famous clock to, Charlemagne, emperor
of the Franks.
Amongst the various crafts from
which the Arabs drew their culture
was, strange as it may seem today.
that, of aviation. At the head of this
section was the celebrated Arab
mechanician Abbas Ben Farnas, the
first known pioneer of the art which
Bleriot,> Farman and Guynemer have
since made famous, unless one should
include inAsuch the young Icarus Of
Greek legend.

Mark Twain's Imagination.

Mark Twain had such a vivid imag-
ination, such a brain for embroidery,
that it was a difficult task for him to
tell straight story just as ii hap-
pened-he could make up one that
was so much better. We all know that
Albert Bigelow Paine, working on
Mark Twain's Life" found it neces-
sary to discard much of the autobio-
graphic material Mark Twain had writ
ten. Investigation, talks with men
still living who knew the facts, simply
proved that the tales were not so.
And Mark Twain was no liar. He had
a glorious, almost superhuman, imag-
ination. AS he approached threescore
and ten HE said, as quoted, in the
Life, ''When was younger I could
remember anything, whether it hap
pened Or not: but I am getting old,
and soon shall remember only the
facts. William w. Ellsworth, "A

Labor and Amendment No. 1.

Whatever question may have been
raised in isolated instances of the
attitude of labor toward Amendment
No. 1.-The Babcock good roads plan
that question has been definitely
disposed of by recent action Of official
labor bodies. D.
The first official action was taken
at meeting of the executive council
of the Minnesota State Federation
of labor at which unanimous approval
was given the good roads amendment.
Next the state convention of the w Work-
ing People'sn Nonpartisan Political
league at Rochester indorsed the
amendment with the reservation that
no bonds be issued by the state in the
carrying out of the plan. And the
convention of the State Federation of
AS to the matter of bond issue, it
is exceedingly unlikely that any such
issue ever will be needed or authoriz-
ed. The bond issuing power is given
the Legislature in the amendment
largely because at the time it was
written the authors had not foreseen
how much revenue could be raised by
automobile license tax to pay for oper-
ations without bond ISSUE Since
then conditions have changed. The
amen dment requires that any bonds
issued under the law shall not be sold
below par and shall not bear interest
over 5 per cent. OF course it would
be impossible now or in the very near
future to sell penny's worthof bonds
on these terms. 1t is estimated that
with 100000 motor vehicles in the
state by next year $5,400,000 could be
collected from license fees and $780,
900 from Federal aid, making a total
of $8,200,000. 1t was never intended
to spend more than $10000,000 on the
plan in any single year, and the road
materials may be so difficult to obtain
next year that it will be impossible
to spend the $8,2O0,OOO cash available.
On each succeeding year there would
be more machines to be taxed. More
over, the legislature is not limited to
the average of $18 per machine on
which the above calculation is. made.
Labor is wise in indorsing this
amendment, furthermore, because all
but an insignificant percentage of the
money to be spent will go to labor.
Labor will manufacture the cement,
quarry the rock and prepare it and
manufacture the machinery to be used
besides laying the road itself. Labor
is consumer of food the marketing g
of which will be cheapened and facili-
tated by good roads. And labor is an
extensive owner and user of automo-
biles. Is there any possible reason
why enlightened labor should be
against this amendment?
