1.-THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The Red Sea and San Francisco
are about five thousand miles apart.
The Israelites led by Moses on their
exodus from Egypt are separated by
about forty centuries from Sunday
afternoon jazz dancing today. Yet,
Cecil B. DeMille has managed to put
them together convincingly in his
perturbation of THE Ten Command
ments." This great Paramount pic
ture is coming to the New Theatre,
Woodstock on November and 8,
where it will be shown for the first
time at popular prices.
The modern story opens on a de-
vout mother driving one of her two
sons from home because he will not
apologize to God" for what she be-
lieyes sacrilege. The son goes out
into the world, not bitterly, but boy
ishly exultant, to smash every COM
mandment. Then De Mile develops
his theme that IF you try to break
the Ten Commandments, they'll
break you"
A gorgeous Biblical episode, done
in natural colors, is enacted by such
popular players as Estelle Taylor
Charles de Roche, Theodore Roberts
James Neill and Lawson Butt. The
two million persons who have paid
from one to two dollars to see this
greatest of Paramount Pictures ties
tify that the highest point the cinems
art has yet reached, has been achiev
; ed in this most ambitious directoria
! effort of Cecil B. De Mile.

Tourists Search

Thus far the skeleton of the giant
of the legend has not been rediscov-
cred. Every tourist has looked for
1t. and many biologists and cave ex-
plorers have penetrated apparently
endless headings without finding it.
But it is the same cave, according
to the legend. And If it is the same
cave. the once headless giant is still
there.

Pithy Paragraphs

A snow pillow, just oyerdone by the
State Highway Commission at its re.
habilitating plant in Staunton passed
through Woodstock Saturday. On
the same day wild geese cackled, ii
they do caekle, on their way South,
and many wilder geese passed along
the highway headed for the equator
to exchange their life savings made
in turnip patches and by the sale of
cottage cheese for alligator nests in
the hinterland of Florida. Listen,
folks. to a photographers advice:
Don't hand your money out to folks
who promise to give you ten times
your investment on a proposition
which makes them dollars and you.
doughnuts. Another thing: The bugs
flying around your candle would hike
it for the golden profits if there were
any to be had. When man saws
you will make thousands out of an
investment of a few dollars, just ask
him why he doesn't do it himself.
Chances are that the frayed seat of
his trousers would indicate that he
needs it far more than you.
Somewhere a conscience, which
like legalized brew is only one-half of
one per cent active, has been paeified
by returning to Mrs Emma Mech,
of near Woodstock a pocketbook.
Just the pocketbook, mind you, and
that was the only dividend from
loss of seventeen dollars in currency,
plus the aforesaid leather carrier,
which she lost several weeks ago and
for which she advertised in the Her
aid and for which she offered a re-
ward. The finder at least had the
grace to deposit the empty purse in
the mail box at the Neeb home and
probably spent the seventeen dollars
in some sort of moral mollifier and
conscience ease which made him or
her believe that she, he, or it was
not just as much of a thief as the
one crucified on Calvarys brow some
twenty centuries ago. Human nature
is a funny thing. And the lack of
it is still funnier It's a bet of a
pound of pan haus against sus-

File Your
Recipes
By Hannah Wing

What did you do with it? Do you
ask yourself that question often when
you want to use some recipe, formula
or suggestion you went to such pains
to clip from newspaper or magazine?
The chances are that IL it was a re-
cipe you just left it loose in your desk
or put it in your cook book.
Where! Oh, just anywhere. And
the time you spend looking for them.
Sometimes it's fun for you to como
across long-forgotten treasures-Aunt
Sarahs molasses cookies, 4 famous
recipe in her own handwriting and the
paper on which it was written almost
worn out. The personally recommend
ed recipes are often favorites but it
takes so much longer to find them un-
less you do something about them.
What can you do? Well, if you
happen to have typewriter and leis-
ure or need busy work for a youngster
OF suitable age you can type them on
cards and start5a card file, indexed as
your cook book is, under: Breads,
cakes, etc. Many of the recipes ara
now printed in width that is espe-
cially suited for filing. These may bs
clipped and pasted on the cards with.
out tipping.
If that seems too laborious there is
an even. simpler plan. File your re-
|cipes on the same plan that your hus-
band files his business correspond
ence. If you save government bullc-
tins, an occasional magazine article,
and the service leaflets you get from
magazines you may as well start with
a standard drawer file. For this get
the large MANILA folders which arc
like open envelopes with upright tabs
on which you can print your subjects.
Into each folder then can go not only
the recipes, but any articles or bull
letins. on cakes, for instances. in the
cake folder. This you can extend to
cover all your household clippings.
laundry. garden, etc. Why not try it?

Advice to the Lovelorn
The Long Engagement.
3y BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am 20 and deeply in love with a
man four years my senior. We have
known each other for two years and
have both confessed our great love.
Up until the present time things were
very much against him, which made 1t
impossible for us to see each other ex-
cept on rare occasions.
Now he is fairly well fixed and has
asked me to wait for him few years,
when he will be able to get married
comfortably. He has asked me to give
up my other men friends. Their
have been times when he would break
an engagement and keep me waiting
for him. A telephone call the next
day with an excuse, which never seems
plausible, always follows. But my
love for him is my greatest weakness,
so l accept his excuses, though my
heart is breaking.
Although on several occasions we
have quarrt.ed and parted, he has al
ways come back to me. Is it possible
that he is in earnest when he says he
loves me?

NEGOTIATIONS OF A MARRIED
WOMAN By Helen ROWLAND
But You Can't Make Them See 1t.

to jimmy your way in by the fire
escape of his Imagination, when his
commonsense is sound asleep.
A bachelor loves TO 20 about telling
how lonely he is, and contemplating
the charms of marriage from a safe
distance-just as he enjoys watching
a fire or a smouldering volcano. when
he is entirely out of reach Of the
sparks.
It is unfair to say that a man cam
not be absolutely true to one woman,
all his life. Nobody can say that, un-
til some man TRIES.
The trouble with a woman is that
she never knows when she has reached
the end of q love-affair, until a man
sticks out bis hand and disappears
around the turn.
When a wealthy widow marries
man half her age, it merely means
that she has added one more to her
collection of pets.

We were down on the southern
coast of Cuba, visiting on big sugar
plantation. 1t was situated right on
the shore of a beautiful bay, where
the water looked so blue that if you
saw it painted in a picture you would
have declared that the artist had made
a mistake in mixing his colors.
OF course, Bobby was all over the
place Investigating the growing o.
sugar and what good time he had
sucking the sugar cane. 1t really beats
any loly-pop you ever tasted in your
life.
One day we decided to take the mo-
tor boat, which belongs to the company
and run across the bay to small
town to see movie.
So towards sunset we started and
got there just in time for dinner ami
the evening performance. Bobby was
much puzzled when he saw that the
titles and captions of the picture were
in Spanish, but nevertheless that
didn't interfere with the enjoyment
which the boy took in the picture.
We spent the night at a funny
little hotel and started back for the
plantation across the bay the next
morning after breakfast.

glided with the wind and current to-

Succotash.
Stuffed Baked Tomatoes.
Lettuce Salad.
Steamed Bread Pudding.
Hard Sauce.

I1dTQ OduCcs
Meatless meals are rarely con-
spicuous success. ! think the reason
for this is that they are frequently not
sufficiently abundant. The idea which
some housewives. seem to have that in
planning a mcatlcss meal all they
need do is omit the meat from an or
binary meal is not likely to make the
family particularly enthusiastic.
But the housewife who is trying TO
keep all of her household expenditures
within a reasonable limit-and that
group include an overwhelming ma
jority of us-is filled with consterna-
ton when she finds lamb chops cost
ing 81 cents a pound, pork chops at
A and steak at 60. These may b.
top-notch prices, but ! have them from
the nearest market.
Such prices merely mean that for
the most part we must do without
these meats. There are still the cheap
er cuts of meat, and the possibilities
for serving them in an attractive man
ner are without number. But there
are many among us who are perfectly
satisfied to be served meatless meals
once or twice, or even three times a
week, as long as these meatless meals
are sufficiently abundant.

ton of lima beans and corn, which
is almost a meal in itself-potatoes
baked or Drowned under the broiler, to-
matoes stuffed with bread crumbs
with a seasoning OF green pepper and
onion, a salad of fresh head lettuce.
All we need is a satisfying dessert to
top off what to me seems a perfectly
good meal.
Perhaps you will not venture to
serve bread pudding. In its ordinary
soggy form i will admit that it has
little to recommend it. But i think
that if you will try it steamed with
hard sauce according to this recipe,
that your family will all come back
