Correct Mixing Is
 Best Way to Keep
 Cake From Falling

The words stirring, beating, cut ting and folding so often used in the directions for cake baking have very definite and distinct meanings.
 To stir is to mix. ingredients. One stirs for the purpose of blending the materials.
 To beat is to turn the ingredients over and over for the purpose of in troducing large amount of air into the mixture.
 To fold and cut is to actually cut one ingredient or mixture into anoth- CT with knife or spoon held in a yer ticle position and to lift and fold one ingredient into a mixture in such a

Then and there, John Hay,
Secretary of State in Roosevelt's
cabinet, made up his mind that
those priceless papers should
never, under any circumstances,
leave the State Department again.
He realized however, that the
building where they were regu-
larly kept was not the most fire
proof structure in the world. so
he decided to have them photo
graphed as a safeguard against
possible loss in another fire.
SENT FOR MIR. HANDY.
He sent for l.. C. Handy, a
photographer who specialized in
the photography Of rare manu-
scripts. Every important paper in
the State Department was carried
to Handy's studio and photograph
ed. That was twenty years ago.
The manuscripts were in perfect
condition then. Today some OF
them have faded. especially the
Declaration of Independence. 1t
was on exhibition for nearly one
hundred years before signs of it's
fading were noticed. Then it was
too late. The writing is now very
faint-most of the signatures have
vanished, and experts agree that in
q few years the writing on the ia
nous document will be invisible.
Handy's photograph records
every minute detail in the original
manuscript. Thousands of fac
similes have been made from the
negative so that future generations
will know exactly how the cele-
brated state paper looked before 1t
began to fade. 1t is no exaggera-
ton, therefore, to say that Mr..
Handy preserved the Declaration
Of Independence for posterity.
But who is L. c. Handy and why
was he chosen to make the photo
graphs Of those famous documents?
To answer that question satisfac-
torily, a "cutback" must be resort
ed to. "Cutback" is movie slang
for Cooking backward"

err. Everybody has heard of Brady!
He was the most celebrated photog-
rapher who ever lived. At the out
break of the civil war ne saw the
possibilities and the historic inn
portanCe Of making photographs
of actual battle scenes. Such a
thing had never been dreamed OF!
He finally managed to interest
President Lincoln. Secretary Stan
ton. General Grant and Allan
PinkertOn in the project to the
extent that he obtained the pro-
lection of the Secret Service and
permits to make photographs at
the front. He was forced to do
everything at his own expense,
but he confidently set out, giving
instructions to his men to guard
against breakage by making two
negatives Of everything.
A BOY AT THE TIME.
L. C. Handy was a small boy
when his uncle started out to pho
tograph the civil war. How proud
he must have been when he heard
of his uncle's exploits on the battle
field, At Bull Run he had been in
the thick of things. Later in the
day. Brady had been compelled to
flee. and at nightfall, alone and
unarmed, he lost his way in the
woods. He was found there by
some of the famous New York
Fire Department Zouaves who gave
him a sword for his defense.
The following day Brady re-
turned to Washington and his pic-
ture was taken, showing him wear
ing the weapon which he had been
prepared to use for the protection
Of himself and his precious mega
tives. During the rest OF the con.
flict. Brady often found himself
the target for a good many bullets.
1t was only his phenomenal good
luck that allowed him to escape
without injury to himself and men
or to his apparatus.
While it is true that Brady only

Der of Congress.
1t has been said that more Of
Lincoln's photographs hang upon
the walls of American homes than
of any other one man. Mr.. Handy's
experience bears witness to the
truth of this assertion. He has
had more orders for prints from
the Lincoln negatives than from
any of the others in his vast col
lection.
The writer was glancing through
an old ledger in which the mega
tives are catalogued, and he came
upon a photograph Of Theodore
Roosevelt that had been placed
there and forgotten. Mr.. Handy
was surprised to know that it was
there. He proceeded to tell how
he took the picture during Roose-
velt's first administration.
SUMMONED BY T. r.
Il was summoned to the White
House one day to photograph the
President. I found him in his Of

wore extremely thick spectacles
and for a profile photograph, the

"'Mr. President suggested.
Would you mind wearing these a
minute?' and l handed him a pair
OF empty frames. He looked at
them a moment and then chuckled.
Sure! I'm clay in the molders
hands-do whatever you like with
me"
II snapped the picture before he
was aware that l was ready. He
told me several years later that 1t
was the best picture he had ever
had taken. suppose he liked it
because II was one OF the few
photographs ever made Of him
while he was in repose. Most Of
them were intended to illustrate
A Strenuous Life
One OF the curiosities that Mr..
Handy prizes most highly is the
old head-rest that Brady used for
over forty years. In the early
days OF photography, before the
use Of dry plates was known. an
exposure OF one minute was re-
quired. This meant that the sub
ject must keep perfectly quiet and
preserve his expression. an eI-
ceedIngly difficult thing to do. You
have seen photographs taken in
those days. Did you ever notice
how stiff and straight they all
look? This was due to the head
rest, a small vice, clamped to the
back Of the head, TO prevent the
subject from changing his posi-
ton. This vice was attached to a
stand, the base Of which often
showed in those old photographs.
This is the type of head-rest
that Brady used. 1t is now
covered with rust for when in
stantaneous exposures were in
augurated, the head-rest went to
the attic with all the other obso-
lete and antiquated things. If It
