ONE R1cK AD4Y
TO SPLIT A PIECE OF MONEY
INTO TWO PARTS.

Fix three pins in an ordinary deal
table, or some other surface that can
not be injured very readily. and
place coin on the top of the pins.
Now lay a small piece of sulphur
directly under the pins and under
the coin, and another piece on the
top of the coin.
Set fire to the two pieces of sui
phur and when the flame is extinct
you will find on the upper part of the
coin thin plate of the metal that
has been detached.
The trick can be made more inter
esting by means of a wager. Bet
someone that you can positively split
an ordinary coin into two pieces
without the use of force or tools.

FaUorite Recipes
of Famous Men
By ROBERT BRUCE MANTELL
(Shakespeare ActOr.l
A RECIPE FOR COOKING Gilman
HADDIE,o


1t is with reluctance that I am
about to tell the proper way to COOK
a Finnan paddock. The reason is
that it has been handed down to me
through generations from my family
eve being Scotch.)
The chefs of all the craked heads
Cor rather crowned heads) of Europe
have begged of me to give it to
them, but l have always refused. But
being offered an enormous sum to
divulge the secret q being hard up
at presently l have at last consented,
and it is with heavy heart that
do so for 1 know my ancestors will
turn in their graves.
First of all, get a good Binnan
haddock, one from Aberdeen, Scot
land Cor a little town called Findon
where they were first discovered) II
possible. 1t should be about 10 to 10
inches long, nice and thick, put on
the hot plate of the stove, skin down,
for one minute. Take it off and
clap the skin with your hand SO that
the skin will peel off. Have a long,
medium skillet with lid. Put the
Finnan haddie in it with a lump
of butter about one-half the size or
your fist, a little hot water and
cup full of milk. Put it on the stove
and let it simmer for about ten miBfS
utes. Be sure to have the lid on the
skillet so as to keep all the flavor
in the fish. Afterwards, take it out
and pour some hot milk on it; also
have two light poached eggs to
break on it. Then, with some thin
buttered toast and a dust of black
pepper, it is feast for the gods.

The game between the boys was
much closer, although Center never
made half as many points as the
local boys. During the first quarter
the silver and gold quintet was
leading to 2. BY the end of the
first half both teams had increased
their score eight points by field
goals and Monte had also netted
two free throws making the score
16 to 10.
At the beginning of the last half.
the Monte basketeers had grown
tired OF watching Center throw
baskets. BY their excellent team
work the silver and gold added
twenty-five more points allowing
Center to get only two field goals
and one free throw. making the
score 38 to Is.
1t surely looks like Monte will be
the valley champion.

about the show. Years ago New

where II has gone. Il was conceded
that these were the only two that
could exist. but look at the one In
Denver and the Uns in Salt Lake

should be made one Of the links Of
