Great Emotional Role
Long Without Friends

The role that Is now considered Dy
most actresses to be the worlds great
est emotional part-Camille-once
went begging for some one to play 1T,
points out a noted actress in an ar
ticle in Liberty. when it was first
written the part was refused by every
actress In Paris" the writer explains.
"Then, after it had gone begging for
months, 1t was picked up and played
by Madame Eugene Doche, who need
ed a part very badly because she had
been i'll and off the stage for long
time. So Madame Doche goes down
in history as the first to play Camille.
"Since then" the writer continues,
ut is probably true that Camille mas
been played by more and greater &C.
tresses than any other role IN th se
world. It was the part that won
Sarah Bernhardt her first universal
praise. Eleanora Duse played the
part to cheers and tears, although
quite differently. And there we're 20
many others-Helena Modteska, Clara
Morris, Rejane, Fanny Davenport,
Nance O'Nelll, Olga Nethersole, Mar
garet Anglin, Ethel Barrymore. no
wonder that Camille has been called
the worlds greatest emotional role"

Barour,i OliUe Adapted
for Picklinp When Ripe

Olives as familiar to the American
table are usually the green olives
picked whole or with pits removed
and stuffed. In the Mediterranean
countries it is customary to. use the
ripened fruit cured in salt, which
forms staple part of the daily diet
of the workers. The ripe olive cured
in salt is only rarely used here. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has introduced a new variety
called the Barouni olive, specially
adapted for picking ripe, which is a
native of north Africa, and an orig
inal stock of three trees has expand
ed until there are now orchards of
about 100 acres total area in Cali
fornia.
The department has recently pub
lished in pamphlet form an account
of Barouni olive introduction as Sep
arate No. 947-Y from the 1925 Year
book of Agriculture, which reports
that methods of processing and can
ming the ripe fruit have been devel-
oped which have resulted in a prod
bet greatly relished by many who
have become familiar with it,
The Barouni olives yield heavily.
In the governments plant introduce
ton garden in California an eleven
year-old tree produced 1923 pounds of
fruit.

The Middle ages, too, had their
"feminlsm," and the way women's
problems were solved was not very
much different from today's.
In the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth centuries, just as at present,
it was necessary to take care OF I'M
married women, and this could not al
ways be done by means of converts,
although a greater number of girls
went in converts then than nowadays.
The crafts excluded women often on
principle but in practice women
worked in almost all crafts during the
Middle ages, as simple workers as
well as at the head of enterprises.
The professions in which women ex-
celled were, of course, those which
were related to the traditional fem
mime work, as weaving, cord manufac-

Oatmeal Mullins Will
Make Pleasant Surprise

If you put the oatmeal into the
mullins instead Of serving it for a
cereal, the family will have a pleasant
surprise and the monotony of having
breakfast always patterned in one
way will be agreeably broken. The
butter needed to spread the mullins
will correspond more or less to the
cream that might have been used on
the oatmeal, so urge everyone to eat
the mullins literally, and provide
plenty of them, for they will be popu-

GOOD RECIPE FOR
DEVILS FOOD CAKE
Something Every Housewife
Likes to Haze on Hand.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Every woman likes to have :. good
recipe on hand for making DEVILS food
cake. 1t is matter of conjecture
whether this cake is so named be-
cause of the contrast of it's dark
brown color to snowy white "angel
food" or because it frequently turned
out to be quite reddish in color. The
bureau of home economics, however,
says the red color is due to using too
much soda when the devils food is
made with sour milk, and as overuse
of soda is not desirable, this ingre-
dent should be carefully measured.
DEVILS Food Cake.
Y cup butter TX cups flour (soft

3 squares choco- * teaspoon salt

Cream the butter and the sugar and
add the well-beaten eggs and mix well.
Sift the dry ingredients and add to the
first mixture alternately with the milk.
Add the chocolate, which has been
melted over steam, and the vanilla
and beat until well mixed with the
batter. Bake in creased pan in a
sheet for 35 minutes at temperature
between 300 and 325 degrees Fahren-
heit. Cover lightly with powdered
sugar and serve. Or, if preferred,
bake the cake in two layers and make
vanilla icing.
In this cake mixture sour milk can
be used in place of the sweet milk.
In that case dissolve one-half tea
spoonful of soda in one teaspoonful
of water and add at the same time
with the sour milk. The chocolate
can also be increased by one square
if one likes strong chocolate flavor.

Vital Part of Tree

The stem of tree, also called trunk
and bole, is the main axis extending
from the, roots to the crown, or to
the. tip in case of an unbranched stem.
Tree stems range from long to short,
straight to crooked, and from erect
to PROSTATE. An examination of
cross-section of stem will show bark,
wood, and pith, says the American
Tree association. In the central part
Of the stem is the pith. About it is
the wood, which in many trees can be
divided into the darker heartwood and
the lighter sapwood. Between the
wood and the bark Is thin layer
known as the cambium. This is the
most vital part of tree, for it Is
here that all new wood and bark are
made up.

Many women became leading seam

more frequent during the Middle ages
than now. The gold industry always
had a group of feminine and group
of masculine workers. Women often
were BARRIERS, and feminine musicians
played in most of the wine inns.
Women were teachers not only in their

The Latin word from which this
term is taken simply means age, as
when we speak of something going on
"from age to age" In this way 1t ap-
plies only to the world and to worldly
things. Thus in one church a secular
priest signifies one performing his
functions while still living IN the
world, as opposed to the monastic
priest, who is cut off from 1t.
Secular music, then, is the ordinary
music of the ordinary world, its op-
posite being sacred or church music.
