wishing devoutiy that I could feel assured of the truth of my sweep ing statement. Let me tell you something, my dear''--I salvcd my conscience with the knowledge that at least the statement of my lips was the absolute truth-"while his mother is in such danger, Alfred won't know that Bess Dean. or any other woman save you, is on earth, and he won't be very conscious of YOUR existence. You know what a devoted son he is"
 Yes indeed. Poor Alfred '' she returned with q world of sympathy in her gentle voice. And every word you've said is true. He's been like one distracted ever since he saw that Dr. Foyham in the city. I won der if he told Alfred something that the rest of us don't know?''
 Perhaps" I said thinking that Leila. being the type which must worry over something, might better exercise her anxiety over her mother-in-law's condition than over Bess Deans machinations. But pri- Nately I resolved that if my former colleague had the audacity to force her presence upon my friends in this their hour of terrified anxiety. she would find me both on guard and drastic in my treatment of her.

French Amateur Radio Is
 Caught on Hartford Set

Hartford. Nov. 27.--The greatest distance ever covered by amateur radio on wave length of 100 meters was reported here at the American Radio Relay league headquarters.

FAMOUS MRS FAIR" AT CAPITOL

Between fame and fireside a wom- an must choose.
 This is the gist of the dramatic statement of James Forbes great American play, The Famous Mrs. Fair," recently completed in motion picture form by Fred Niblo and now presented at the Capitol theater.
 The paraplTrase of the theme is an- nounced by Metro Pictures corpora tion, which releases the photodrama, in response to numerous inquiries from the public and from exhibitors of films regarding the nature of the new Fred Niblo production, this cele- brated directors first screen work since the making of Blood and Sand"
 The story is of what befalls the Fair family when Mrs. Fair, returned from Red Cross service abroad, dec orated and famous, is persuaded by fattery and misdirected sense of duty to so on an extended lecture tour, telling of her experiences abroad. To her husband, son and daughter she has merely stopped in to say Hello" on her way from France before em- barking on a new fad.
 Several months later, Mrs. Fair re- turns home unexpectedly to find her family disintegrating. Without the guiding motherly hand things have gone to pieces.
 Shocked at first by the deplorable state of affairs, she soon realizes that her own selfish ambition is the cause of trouble, and she takes steps ac- cordingly.
 The Keith vaudeville how is fea- turing five very fine offerings headed by Jonia Hawaiians in in native songs, music and dances. Starting Thursday a big show will be featured with the big attraction Billie Shaw and her of ten in a charming song and dance offering.

London, Nov. 27.--The assertion that the achievement of American schools is far below that of the Brit ish was made by Premier Baldwin last evening in an election speech at Bris- tol Replying to the statement of laborite speaker that the conservatives were opposed to popular education the premier said:
 We hear a great deal about Amer iean education but from such oppor- tunities as ] have had of consulting those who have visited American schools, I do not believe the actual achievement of those schools is com parable to that -of our schools. That judgment has been endorsed by Am erican educators themselves. l am told highly competent observer has said that on the whole an American boy of Is is in knowledge and achieve ment about two years behind an Eng fish pupil of the same age"

By Dr. Clifford (. Robinson HEAD INMRIES

Two principal kinds of head injuries arc those that come from contact and shock and those that result from blows. In injuries of the first kind. where the victim is usually thrown or his head, the result may be skull frac- ture or a fatal brain concussion.
 Another cause of severe head in- iuries is through fainting or loss of consciousness. Sometimes the head strikes with such terrific force that skull fracture results and death fol- lows without regaining consciousness.
 In injuries Of tho first class, little can be done by the layman. except to make the patient comfortable in a reclining position with tho head slightly elevated. Insist on quietness and all absence or confusion. 1f you are sure about tho manner and cause of the injury and no marks appear on the head or body. cold compress or icc cap may tend to relieve the pa- tlont until tho arrival Of physician. who should be summoned at the first possible moment
 Tn head injuries Of tho second class n hruise, cut or severe face or scalp wound may result. Guard carefully against any infection from which meningitis. intracranial infections brain abscess or phlebitis may result. Such wounds on scalp and faco should be disinfocted at once with iofine.
 If you have a chance 10 aid any person from brain or head injury. first find out ir there arc cuts, bumps or bruiges. lle sure the person has not tainted by the loss Of blood from such injury. To not attempt any in- ternsl treatment or pour any water or other liquid down the throat

of eggs and beat yolks until thick and lemon colored and whites until stiff and dry. Add to first mixture. The raisins should be seeded and chopped, the entrants cleaned and dried. the cherries cut in small pieces, the citron sliced thin and shredded and the candied peels cut in tiny pieces before the cake is mixed. Mix chopped fruits with one and one half extra cups of flour. Add flour and coffee alternately to first mixture. Add prepared fruit and nuts, spices and vanilla. Dissolve soda in molasses and add the last thing Mix the cake well after the addition of each in gredient Turn into well oiled and foured deep cake pans, cover with buttered paper and steam three hours and bake one andone-half hours in a slow oven. Or the cake is baked four hours in very slow oven. The nut meg of course is grated before using. You will like your fruit cake much better if it is steamed and baked ra- ther than simply baked. The cake will be moister and the fruits and spices blended perfectly.
 The molasses and coffee can be re- duced to one-half cup of each and a glass of currant jelly added to the rule.
 This rule makes three loaves.
 A square of fruit cake neatly wrapped in oiled paper and then in the sparkling glazed paper that's so attractive, tied with bid red ribbon bow with a spring of holly, makes a gift for anyone. Fruit cake is the special Christmas cake quite as full of Christmas spirit as it is of sugar plums."

FRUIT CAKES

While hsking the Christmas fruit cake for yourself why not make enough to include in the Christmas box that must be sent to some mem Der of the family away from home? Homemade cake at the holiday sea- son has strong appeal to persons not at home.
 Brandy always was considered nec- essary in fruit cakes to make them keep and ripen. Although the brandy had nothing to do with the keeping it did aid in the "ripening." There is no substitute that will give the flavor to q fruit cake that the continued dampening with brandy imparted. However, strong coffee and grape juice used in fruit cake in place of milk will make a moist. delicious cake that will kep indefinitely
 Long slow baking insures good keeping.
 Fruit cake is made with or with out eggs, The cake with eggs is of course richer than the one without. Old-fashioned pork cake. requires neither butter nor eggs, but keeps well and is moist and delicious. The more fruit and nuts in the cake the better.
 Pork Cake
 One pound fat salt pork, cups boiling water, cups brown sugar, cup molasses, i tablespoon each cloves and nutmeg, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, l pound raisins, pound entrants, IA pound citron, . cups nut meats, { ta- blespoons strong cold coffee. tea spoons baking powder. 1-2 teaspoon soda, s cups flour, tablespoon vanil- la.
 Remove rind and any bits of lean meat from salt pork. Chop very fine and pour over boiling water. Mix Stone raisins. Clean and dry cur rants. Shred citron. Mix fruit with one cup four Mix and sift remain ing flour with baking powder and soda. Add fruit and spices to sugar and molasses combined with fat and water. Add coffee and vanilla. Mix well and stir in flour and nuts. Mix thoroughly. Be sure the -four is evenly mixed through the whole mix 1 ture. Turn into a large pan lined with l buttered paper and bake in slow oven two and one-hslf hours
 This is a cheap, delicious cake well l work baking. More fruit and nuts can be added if wanted.
 The ingredients for a fruit cake | should be weighed. Eggs vary in size, l different brands of flour vary in weight per cup and brown sugar is as variable. But as comparatively few housekeepers indulge in kitchen scales this rule is changed from pounds to cups.
 Fruit Cake
 Two cups butter, 2.3 cups light brown sugar, 3 large eggs, cups pastry flour or i-i cups bread -four tboth measured after sifting once), S-I cup strong cold coffee, pounds rsislns, pounds entrants. l-2 pound candied cherries. pound citron, i.4 pound candled orange peel, i-4 pound candied lemon peel, 1-2 pound or 2 | cups blsnched and chopped almonds, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, table spoon cloves, nutmeg, 1-2 tea. spoons soda, i tablespoon vanilla.

Madge Decided On Drastic Treatment Of ReSs Dean

paid q tribuW to Bess Deans powers of dissimulation during the short taxi ride to the Marvin station. That she was furiously angry with me I knew-she would have enjoyed nothing better than to tantalize Leila in her usual apparently innocent fash ion. But she chatted easi!ss- of com monplace topics until VIC reached the station
 IL was evident that upon sec ond thought, she had determined to risk no whit of her familiar foothold in the Durkee household by an open break with me.
 Give my best love to Mother Durkee," she said swectly, as the train from Freeport pulled in, and l saw Leila waving franticaly from the platform to let me know she had caught it, Tell her I'm coming to sec her as soon as I'm permitted to do SO"
 I'm afraid you will have to be patient I said in an equally sac Charine voice pr Braithwaite is very rigid in keeping visitors down to the minimum until convalescence. I doubt whether anyone save members Of her family will be permitted to sec her for week"
 Always excepting the faithful family friend !' She permitted her self a parting sheer as 1 climbed the steps to the platform, l waved my hand with a gay laugh for answer. Leila also waved to her, and then, seizing my arm. she hurried me through two cars to a seat which had no one within earshot of a low tone
 "Madge", she said tensely, how did Bess Dean know about Mother purkce's operation You know we have told no one. She could not possibly have learned it from any ono else except Alfrcd-or-or----"
 Madgc Calms Leila
 "or Dicky." finished calmly, What Of it?"
 The answer, invested with non- ing, appeared to have much the same effect upon her mind as 8 dash Of cold water in her face. She blinked and threw up hcr head in started fashion.
 "why--why---" she stammercd, doesn't it show that
 That she has seen either your husband or mine within the last few days" l interrupted fin matter -of- fact tones. "f'll answer yes to that unquaifledly But I'll add that it's nothing for either one of us 10 worry about It doesn't mean that either Dicky or Alfred planned the meet ing. Either 1t was an accident or Bess Dean manoeuyrod it."
 She lifted her hand. which 1 saw was shaking with nervousness, and laid 1t upon mine.
 "I know I'm an awful idiot, Msdge," she began quavcringly.
 You're all of that and good bit added" interrupted smiling down at her and taking the nervous, nuttering little hand firmly in mine T thought we'd thrashed out this topic of Bess Dean and that you were safe from worry over her for 2 week or two at least. And here you are at the same old tricks again I'm ashamed of you"
 I'm ashamed Of myself" she an- swere1, and I noticed with approval that there was decision tn her voice With Mother Durkee in such straits. I'm little beast 10 brood over my own troubles"
 Alfred's Devotion
 Which aren't troubles at all, if you'd only believe it," I retorted,
