London Votes Out
American Waffle
AS Table Luxury

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. November q. Lon
don has voted against the Ameri-
can waffle.
Just about year ago great
firm Of caterers put the crisp and
toothsome American concOction on
their menus. Maple syrup, So
called, was imported to pour on the
waffies.
For a few months they were
popular. Then the demand dwin.
died and finally disappeared. The
caterers attempted to revive inter.
est in the waning waffle, even tried
putting an egg in the batter. but
staid old London held aloof.
The caterers say the explanation
is that eating is q serious business
with the English. Bacon and eggs.
beef and boiled potatoes stick to the
ribs in cold weather. Waffies may
satisfy American appetites. but
they scarcely arouse English curl
osity as food.

In western North Carolina, where
all land is said to he either up hill or
down dale and there have never been
any natural lakes, some ambitious real
estate developers, realizing that lakes
were all that was needed to complete
the beauty of the mountain scenery,
built dam in valley and backed
stream up so as to form an artificial
lake. This was viewed aSkance by
the mountaineers. who said that II
God had wanted a lake there he would
have put 1t there. And Nature was
evidently of the same mind. fer the
unruly mountain stream soon ate Its
way through the hillside on which
the dam abutted. and out with mighty
rush, went the whole lake.
Now, what do you know about that?

her pretty dresses any more than you
have to teach her to like dolls. And
almost every little girl likes parties,
If for no other reason than because
they are occasions for wearing party
things.
The party frock, even for Winter,
should be rather light in weight. for
the house where the party is held Is
pretty sure to be warm. Children's
games and excitement also further
add to the feeling of warmth. So. al
though there are lovely little velvet
party frocks this Winter, those of
georgette or crepe de chine are usu-
ally preferable. Light flower colors
are usually most becoming. Nile
green seems to be especially smart for
children at present. Tucked skirts

When it is considered how very
necessary it is to have a serum or
vaccine fresh and powerful, in order
that it may serve it's purpose effec-
tive2E, and that the saving of human
life may he the result. the care with
which this testing must be done is
obvious.
Mrs. Carlin was born in Washing
ton. and after her prepa ratory-sch
studies she took up commercial
course md passed a clerical eXami-
nation at the time of the war. The
laboratories were being pushed to
the limit for vaccines for the soldiers,
and, instead of going into routine Of
fee duties. she found herself placed
as laboratory assistant with DR..
HaZeltine. She developed an un-
usual aptitude for the testing. and
was put through an intensive course
in laboratory practice by DIR. Ella NJ.
A. Enslow, the expert in charge. Mrs.
Carlin has been doing the work for
eight years now. with individual re-
sponsibility as the result of her pro-
fciency.
The testing of the typhoid vaccine
was her first experiment, as the Pub
lie Health laboratory was sending
out. at that time. large quantities
every day. These were tested for
