PARTY FOR THE BRIDE

If it is t. be a miscellaneous show
er, why not let a Jack Horner pie
be the gift c%ontainer?
Nothing could be lovelier than a
yellow color scheme for the late
summer party. Thus, for the Jack
Horner pie, use yellow crepe paper
concealing-probably the biggest
dish pan you can muster! This to
hold the gifts which may be quite
bulky.
A very effective idea is that of
having brown-eyed Susans blooming
from the pie. Pierce the crepe pa
per with the stems, letting each
flower stand alone. Flowers bios
soming from a pie are a bit unusual.
but they add much to the decorative
effect.
If the luncheon you serve is to
be something light, a good basis for
it is chicken salad. Three four
pound chickens will make enough
salad so that each of twenty guests
could have generous portions.
To eliminate as much work as pos
sible on the day of the party, cook
the chickens the day before. Re-
move the meat from the bones. re-
move the skin and cut into cubes.
Then wrap in a clean tea towel, put
in a bowl and place in the icebox.
The celery too may be cut and
wrapped the day before, thus leav-
ing only the mixing for the day of
the party.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

The next time you decide to have
ham sandwiches or cold boiled ham
for luncheon try a cottage ham.
These little hams aren't really
ham at all, but are pieces of pork
free from Done that have been cured
in exactly the same way ham is. A
Cottage ham usually weighs from a
pound and a half to three pounds
and sells at a reasonable price and
contains no waste.
The meat is delicious boiled or
cut in very thin slices and broiled.
To Boil Cottage Ham
Two pounds ham, l teaspoon
sugar, water.
LIE ham stand in cold water for
an hour and a half. Put in kettle
and cover with cold water. Add
sugar and bring to the boiling point.
Simmer about an hour until tender.
Let cool in the water in which the
ham was cooked. This makes the
meat rather juicy. Ham boiled in
this way may be served sliced cold
with potato salad, sliced thin for
sandwich filing. chopped fine and
mixed with mayonnoise for sand
witch filling, or used in any way ordi-
nary cold boiled ham is used.
To Broil Cottage Ham
Slice the meat very thin across
the ham. The slices should not be
more than a inch thick. Broil over
a hot bed of Goals OF under the
flame. Cook first on n side and
then on the other until the edges of
fat are brown. Or the ham can be
.pan-broiled. Put just enough bacon
or ham fat in a spider to- oil it even
ly. When sizzling hot put in the
meat and cook first one side and
then the other until the fat is
Drowned. Ham cooked this way may
be served with creamed potatoes, on
points of toast with sliced tomatoes
and mayonnaise, on lettuce with a
slice of pineapple, in a sandwich
with thin slices of cold roast veal,
lettuce and mayonnaise. chopped
and used in omelets or timbales.

Editorials For
Women Folks

You're toe possessive. He admires
you more than any other woman he
has ever known and he loves you
without a question. but you're too
possessive! He wants to like other
people, too!
And thus it was that Ellen's
friends summed up Ellen's trouble.
Ellen had been going around for
months with a woebegone expression
on her fine. intelligent face. She had
been getting careless about her per-
sonal appearance.
She had fallen into a rut of trying
to live without the remainder of the
world and had tried to drag natural
Il gregarious husband along with her.
But Ellen's husband wouldn't be
dragged.
Once in a while he sat down and
brooded over the thing. the unhappy
way that he and Ellen, whom he ad-
mired and loved so much, were get

laughed with Ellen's good looking
husband. Then Ellen always went
home wearing IN her face her most
unlovely expression and in her heart.

P~ediculosis capitas is the condi-
ton brought about by the invasion

scratch marks become infected and

1t must be insisted hat all chill
dren with head lice be free from the
vermin before they are allowed to
mingle with other children in school.
When a child is seen scratching
the head, the presence of head lice
may be suspected, and the discovery
of nits, small white objects at
tached TO the hairs, confirms the
diagnosis.
In treatment 1t is important not
only to kill the parasites them
selves, but also to destroy and re-
move the nits which otherwise will
hatch and reinfect the scalp. Usu-
ally it is sufficient to thoroughly
moisten the hair and the scalp with
a mixture containing equal parts of
kerosene n olive oil shaken to-
gether and allow this application to
remain about twelve hours.
The child's scalp should then be
thoroughly washed with warm wa
ter and soap to remove all traces of
oil. After the hair has been dried
by brisk rubbing it should be
combed thoroughly with a comb
moistened in hot vinegar to remove
the nits.

Marty couldn't see down very well

to tilt his head forward It'll his neck
ached trying to make sure that
Blackie was a fish and not a shadow
or a stone. Marty had even been
known to jump right down into the
pool, where he could look up instead
of down (Which was much easier for
him) and thereby determine just
what kind of an object Blackie Bass
was. On such occasions Mr.. Bass
would give a wiggle with his tail and
a push with one fin, and slide behind
a rock.
Marty would come out dripping

when Mr.. Sun SEM his bright rays
filtering down in lacy patterns
through the branches of the willow
tree, making the depth of the pool a
mysterious wonderland of lights and
shadows, Blackie looked like one of
the grayish black stones themselves.
And he'd chuckle and chuckle to
himself (without blinking an eye,
or cracking a smile-really. you'd
never dream he was laughing, he
looked so solemn and all), when
he'd see Marty Mink staring down

\ Strange, Unhappy Night
What can hat be?" Edith asked
in alarm.
1T must be Bobbie!"
l jumped to my feet. There was
some good reason for him crying
like that.
I'LL go with you." said Edith
when l had my hand on the door.
Her eyes that had shone sc brightly
a moment before held no challenge
now. Her voice ~quivered.
For my w part, my hand trem-
bled; my steps were unsteady. l
had been shaken in my innermost
being.
l knew now that our ultra-modern
idea of exchanging better halves for
one evening might have had almost
tragic consequences.
II hope the little fellow hasn't had
a relapse" l said slowly. in meas
ured tones. as we went back to his
room. Only by an effort could l
speak calmly.
We found the child sitting up in
bed. There was no need of a Their
mometer to tell that he had fever.
His flushed cheeks. his wild eyes
spoke for themselves. When he saw
us he was silent.
How do you feel?" 1 asked stu
pidly.
Fine" he replied mechanically.
He had gotten used to telling us that
during his convalescence.
My first impulse was to telephone
for DIR. Harris. Thank the Lord. the
telephone was working again.
While l was trying to get the num-
Der, Edith was attempting to make
Bobbie more comfortable and to take
his temperature.
AS luck would have it, the doctor
was out-at theatre! | called up the
playhouse where l was told he had
gone, but he had omitted to leave
his number at the box office. and
there was nc way to reach him until
he returned home.
1 went back to Bobbie. Edith told
me hat the thermometer showed a
fraction over 102 degrees. 1 was not
surprised.
The child was cross and fretful.
1t was absolutely impossible to think
of anything else. Every other mo-
ment he called for water.
Edith wrapped him in a blanket
and held him in her arms; Bobbie
chung to her. though he kept calling
for mamma"
Now 1 tried to get another doctor,
fearing that it might be too late
when own physician reached the
house. 1t seemed that everyone 1
called was out.
Finally 1 succeeded in locating
one only four blocks away: he had
gone to bed, but he promised to
dress and come to the house imme-
diately.
Rocking Bobbie and cuddling him.
soothing him and trying to keep
him quiet, giving him water and tell
ing him stories-that is how we
passed the evening in a fashion alto
gether different from what we had
anticipated.
1t seemed ages while we were in
the apartment alone. / was afraid
the doctor would never come. 1t
would have been some consolation
If even Do ard George had re-
but Edith and 1 had to re-
main there alone with the sick child.
And suppose my son had not got
ten i'll? What would I have said to
Dot when she came home? And what
would l say to her now?

EDWARDS MOTOR
 WILL CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
Fifth Year of Business Finds Concern In FIourishing
 Condition

Five years ago ". Sterling Ed wards, Jr., signed the contract for the distribution of the Chevrolet car In Birmingham and stuck out his sign on auto row and laid the foun- dation for what is now one of the most substantial automobile busi- nesses in the city.
 Guided by the keen business judg- ment of MT. Edwards, the Edwards Motor company has shown q steady Increase from year to year, which fact Is attested by the ever increas- ing number of Chevrolet cars one sees on the streets of Birmingham. MT. Edwards has applied the prin- ciple of square dealing in his con tact with buyers of his cars and has always maintained service Of the highest character that has gained the favor of the motoring public.
 Next week, upon his return from a brief vacation MT. Edwards will announce plans for fitting celebra- tlon of his fifth anniversary in the automobile business.
 Five years ago the Edwards Motor company began business in small store on South Twenty first street, but since that time has moved to larger and more attractive quarters on Second avenue, and established fIourishing branches in Ensley and Bessemer.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-07-31

Back in the early days of Auto row, when the industry was just be- ginning to grow and flourish, & young fellow with a ready smile and cheerful mien who was ambitious and energetic started in to make a name for himself with the Brownell Auto company. who were then selling the Ford.
 This young man was Buck" De- ment, who made good from the be- ginning of his connection with the automobile business. and who had only to know a man to call him friend
 Five years ago Buck" identified himself with Sterling Edwards, who had the Chevrolet agency, and since that time with the exception of the period he spent in the services of Uncle Sam. Buck has been with the Edwards Motor company, and every man who had dealings with him re- spected and admired him. and thought of him as man who was Ion the job"
 And now Buck has gone in busi- ness for himself where he can cash in on his long experience Gnd thorough knowledge. He has re- pair shop known as the Dement, Mo. tor company, at 1512 Second avenue, where he specializes in Chevrolet re- pairs, although he will repair any make of car. He invites his friends to drop in and see him.

What Speed Means to
 the Average Motorist

We are sometimes asked what man who expects to drive at 35 miles per hour wants with an automobile that will do better than 70 miles per hour" says MT. H. M. Jewett, presi- dent of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company
 "I want to drive 35, 10 and maybe 45 miles per hour sometimes says the prospect. What do I care for more speed than I will ever use?'
 The answer is just this: If you own a car that will do 80 miles per hour and you drive it at 40 miles, 1t is travelling at half speed. Think what that means in the elimination of strain on both car and driver. At what is top speed for another car the Paige "6-66" is loafing along easily without strain, vibration or fuss.
 we do not advise the average owner to drive at terrific speeds But we do know that when we fur nish him ear capable of great speeds we give him a car that, In ordinary use will prove exceptional ly sturdy and long lived, unusually economical among fine cars, and es- pecially comfortable

MaxweII Sets q New Record Tn
 West Virginia

Another endurance record has been set by the good Maxwell in West Virginia.
 With the low and intermediate gears removed, and carrying three passengers. a good Maxwell stock car travelled 565 miles over mountains and through muddy valleys without trouble of any kind.
 The famous Turtle Creek Hill just out of Pittsburg. the Summit noun tain at Uniontown, and the Laurel mountains at Elkins were included in the trip.
 Mir. T. l.. Cordray general manager of the Hall Garage company Inc, Maxwell Chalmers distributors at Fairmont. personally supervised the trip, driving the car himself most Of the time.
 Rainy weather had made the roads very bad says Mir. Cordray, but the good Maxwell went through with out trouble of any kind, covering the entire 565 miles on S1l F gallons of gasoline; an average of IS miles to the gallon.
 "The test not only proved the good
