The Waterville firemen made two
huick trips yesterday in response to
Telephone calls, the first at 1105 A.
In, TO the home Of Edward Mckinney
Ii 1876 College avenue for chimney
Ere. in which two chemicals were
6sed to cool the heated f1ue. The
kecond call at 4.35 =. NJ. was from
Some person who directed the firemen
10 Edgemont avenue. The chemical
truck made flying trip to that
Itreet and 1t was found that the old
Daughter house on the west side Of
kfessalonskee stream was in flames.
ANOTHER telephone call brought the
hook and ladder truck to the scene,
but nothing could be done to save
the old structure, and the building
MAS practically consumed by the

Mat the fire originated from Gig

will meet with the committee in Di-
vide community Sunday afternoon,
Feb. II, for the purpose of discuss
ing the possibility of raising the
standard of seed in that community
in order that it a be raised and
sold in large commercial quantities
for seed purposes only. 1t is believ-
ed that this community is especially
adapted to that work due to the fact
that they have a large number of
approved seed growers and are ia
miliar with the conditions under
which this quality of seed must be
handled. Also the community is ex-
~ceptionally from foreign seeds of
injurious nature.-D. B. Noble, Co.

light, tender cakes that you like:
l cup of sour milk, IL cup flour
l egg, l tsp. baking powder, ~ tsp.
salt, 1htbsp. melted fat, 1 tbsp. of
sugar.
All measurements are level. Sift
the flour once before measuring.
If sweet milk is used instead of
sour, leave out the soda and use in
all 2h teaspoons baking powder.
Sift the flour, salt, soda, baking
powder and sugar together. Beat
the egg slightly and add it to the
milk. Add the milk and egg to the
dry ingredients, stirring just enough
to combine them thoroughly. If the
batter is stirred too much the cakes
are likely to be tough. Add the melt
ed fat and bake on a smooth, rather
hot griddle that has been thinly
creased.
Do not mix the liquid and dry in
gradients until you are ready to bake
he cakes. If the batter stands long
gas bubbles formed by the soda
md the baking powder will escape
md the cakes will not be as light as

they should be. 1t is not a good plan
to put the soda into the sour milk,
because some of the strength of the
soda is wasted as soon as it begins
to fzz.
The correct amount of flour de-
ponds on the strength of the flour
and the thickness of the milk. If the
batter does not give cakes of the de-
sired thickness, it can be changed
by adding a little milk to thin it or
a little flour for ~thickening. Keep
track of what you add and change
the recipe accordingly.
If the griddle is the right tempera-
ture, the cakes will brown enough
on one side and ready to urn when
the bubbles appear on the surface
and start to break. If it is not as
hot as this, the cakes will be tough
because they are cooking too long
and slowly. If the griddle is too
hot and the cakes brown very fast
they will not be cooked through to
the center.
Serve at once on a hot plate.

FACTORIES aim AT
CARS THAT ENDURE
ENGINEER SAYS OLDSMOBILE
SIX DESIGNED TO APPROACH
PERFECTION

Built before "horseless carriages
were even dreamed of, the Deacon's
One Hoss Shay" famed in rhyme by
Ollver Wendell Holmes, today is the
ideal to which the automobile indus
try is striving. Automobile manu-
~facturers hope some time to build
cars so well balanced, and the wear
on each individual part so we'll cal
culated, that the ears will run for
years without the replacement of
even the smallest part, according to
II. X. Jack, chief engineer of the
olds Motor Works, Lansing, Mich.
of course, the perfection of the
'One Hoss Shay which ran for more
than a generation without repairs, is
mostly the license of literature and
will w be fully realized" said
Jack. but each year the auto
motive industry is coming nearer to
it through intensive scientific study.
In fact, this approach to perfection
the inter-relation of automotive
parts is one of the answers of how
it is possible to build a six-cylinder
car like the new Oldsmobile at the
unusually low price it is sold for.
"In designing the new six, the en-
cheering department of the Olds
Motor works spent months in calcu-
-ating the strains and stresses on
each individual part. Then, through
past experience and the assistance Of
'esearch, me~tallurgical and chemical
departments of General Motors, each
BART was designed fully capable Of
10 its allotted task, and the best
material for the purpose was select
ID.
I'm this way unnecessary weight
las been eliminated from parts that
heavier than need be; metals
,etter suited to designated tasks
ave been substituted and additional
trength given where needed. Not !
My does this better relation of all
arts improve the balance and per-
ormance of an automobile, but it
Iso reduces wear and waste.
