ROTARY AIMS PROVIDE
LADIES' NIGHT PROGRAM
Mrs. E. r. Jones Gives Distinc-
tive Address on Growth of
Oakland-Other Features

The gradual growth Of Oakland dur
ing the past ten years and the many
improvements made in that time were
two points stressed by Mrs. E. R.
Jones, who was the principal speaker
at the ladies' night entertainment of
the weekly meeting of the Oakland
Rotary club held at the William-James
Hotel last Thursday evening.
The entire program was unique IN
that the ladies themselves arranged
and carried it out. The entertainment
was very much enjoyed by the club
members and with Mrs. Paul Naylor
as chairwoman the entire affair SEEM
ed to have been put on with enthusi-
asm, according to those present.
Mrs. Ralph Weber gave a reading;
Mrs. L. X. Dixon, piano selection;
Mrs. Delbert Davis, a reading local in
its character; several selections were
rendered by the boys band of Oak
land; Reeves Blandford sang a solo,
and Mrs. Jones spoke on the growth
of Oakland.
Oakland Growing.
In speaking of the expansion of
Oakland, Mrs. Jones said in part:
The gradual growth of Oakland
within the past ten years may be
marked by the following signs of de-
Felopment:
Fourteen new residences in the
northern section of Oakland five or
six new homes in the section begin
ming at the corner of Pennington
street and including Liberty. Cross
ing the bridge in the southern section,
five new dwellings,, and in the section
known as prosperity HILL" eleven
new homes.
In the business section, a new brick
building housing a new banking in
stitution, postoffice, modern hardware
store and professional offices. Addi-
tons have also been made to the Mil
Ter building, the creamery and other
building The Piedmont Grocery
Company has located a branch store
here.
Along public service lines we have
better telephone service, continuous
electric service; gas shortage has
been eliminated and the water system
is more efficient.
In the educational field, grade SUI
pervisors, two county health nurses
home demonstration agent and other
public servants and improvements
have been added, as also the parochial
school.
A number of streets have been i'm
proved along with the advent of bet
ter State roads.
The civic growth is indicated by
the organization of the Boy Scouts
the Boys Band, the Rotary Club and
the Volunteer Fire Department.
An elaborate menu was prepared
and served by the hotel management
and the ladies were the recipients of
very beautiful favors presented by the
club.

GIVEN AT LODGE MEETING
Local Troop Members Guests of
Knights of Pythias

A sample of what members of Oak
land Troop No. 1, Boy Scouts OF
America, are accomplishing, was
demonstrated before the members of

strations in first aid work, and then
played several of their more popular

and retired the flag of the United
States in the usual manner. The attain

test, the Fox and Eagle patrols won
the tug of war, and Walter Imam and
his rider won the game, of Horse and

When he came back this sum-

attention to me. Yesterday,
however. received q letter
from him, asking forgiveness,
and he wants me to chum
with him again. I love him.
Please help me with this
problem.
SAILORS SWEETHEART.
Your letter is a little vague,
my dear. But I judge from
it that your friend has not
proved very dependable. If 1
were you I would not take him
too seriously, or he may dis
appoint you again. Choose
friends who prove that they
are worthy of your trust and
friendship.

Tasty Cheese Sauces
BY Hannah Wing.

Rice, macaroni, toast, vege-
tables, croquettes and scallops
can be made into interesting
dishes, sufficiently hearty and
satisfying for any menu, by
serving them with a well-sea-
Soned cheese sauce. Once q
good cheese sauce is made it
may be varied in any of the
ways mentioned below, and so
may be served on many occa-
sions, without need of further
variety.
For a good cheese sauce use:
Four tablespoons fat, three
tablespoons flour, three-quarter
teaspoon salt, two cups Scalded
milk, one-third to one cup
cheese, few grains cayenne.
Melt fat in saucepan, add
flour and salt, stir until
smooth, add milk heated in
double boiler and stir until
sauce boils. Add cheese to suit
the family taste, grated or put
through the food chopper, and
a few grains Of cayenne. and

Reluctant Love
DEAR MRS. FAIRFAX:

I care for a fellow who Is %
years of age. I have known him
only a month but we have been
going out together about two or
three times a week. He was
always anxious to see me, and
I was anxious to see him.
He is nice-looking, a good
dresser, and just everything I
am looking for. He does not
like girls, but he likes me very,
very much-in fact, he says he
is falling in love with me and
just for that reason he must
give me up. He wants to be a
bachelor. He goes everywhere
alone. His brothers cannot in
duce him to go with them ex-
Cept to ball games or to play
tennis. He is coming to see me
just once more, this Thursday,
then it is to be good by.
He suggested our breaking up
on Sunday, and Monday he
called up to say that I shouldn't
mind what he said as he wanted
to go with me anyway. Tues
day he took me home from the
park and said that we had bet
ter break up after all. It was
so hard for him to say that. I
told him I wanted him only as
a good friend, but he said it
was the idea of seeing me that
made him care for me SO much.
He says he has nothing to offer
me, as he never gave marriage
a thought.
How can I keep him? I
would even write him a letter.
What can I say to him Thurs
ray? I'm so at loss what to
say at such q critical time.
He says he's in my way, and
I can't make him think diff
ferently. That's the season why
he keeps away from everybody.
FRTTZEE.
1t looks to me, Fritzee, as
though your friend were falling
in love with you against his
will. If he does fall seriously in
love, he is likely to change his
mind completely about the de-
STABILITY of being a bachelor.
Be very sweet to him when
ever he does come to see you.

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOlIett-

Is woman a spectacle? She is.
She is an important scenic de-
tail in the pageant of human
existence. With her, clothes
play a vital part. u is silly to
say that women think too much
about clothes-they don't think
enough about them. The new
acquaintance is Judged by her
attire, and Justly. since sar-
torial draperies express ideas
and qualities of character. The
girl who dresses in good taste
which does not mean that
she dresses expenSively-has 20
chances to land a good job
where the trump won't have
one.
She who flies into a fit upon
every occasion, or no occasion
at all, will live to regret her
lack Of mental health. Anger
has an immediate effect upon
the gastric juices. Digestion is
impaired. The stomach sulks,
appetite departs, nerve centerS
set up a yowling, and the skin
falls into wrinkles. There is a
close sympathetic bond between
the emotions and the physical
system. It is an idea worth
thinking about.
Lemons should % used in
ternally and externally by can
didates for beauty. Lemon
juice in water, taken before
breakfast, is a busy little skin
whitener. A lemon cut in half
should stand on the kitchen
sink. If the hands are dis
colored by vegetables or fruit
juices, the fingers should be
plunged into the lemon pulp;
they will come out as white and
clean looking as a stalk of
celery.
The color of the hair is de-
termined by the pigment which
Is deposited in the medula or
inner hair shaft. When the
hair is light, the pigment usu-
ally darkenS with the years.
Brown hair sometimes reddens
before 1t turns white. Nothing
has been found to restore the
coloring matter, though clev-
erly formulated dyes will pro-
duce a good counterfeit tint.

WATCH YOUR
ICE BOX!

It Is Just as necessary 70
keep perishable foods In q well
iced refrigerator during cold
weather as in warm.
Nowadays, we keep our homes
1ust as warm in the Fall and
Winter as they get during Sum.
mer. Butter, milk. meats and
fresh vegetables need constant
protection against that warmth
in order to keep them whole
some and appetizing.
The same care should be
given the refrigerator In the
Autumn as during the hottest
weather. The interior should
be washed out regularly, using
a cloth wrung out in cold water
containing a solution Of sal
soda. At least once weekly the
drain pipe should be washed
down with a strong solution Of
sal soda. If anything is spilled
in the refrigerator it should be
cleaned out Immediately.
Dishes should be thoroughly
cooled before being placed in
the refrigerator because warm
foods quickly raise the temper
ture inside and hasten the
meltage Of ice. Meats, on de-
livery from the market, should
be unrapped and placed on
platters as near as possible to
the coldest place in the box
without disturbing the butter
cream or milk, which must
have the coldest place. directly
under the cold air duct under
the ice compartment.
Never, under any circum
stances, wrap the ice. While
this saves ice it defeats refrig-
Grafton, because ice must melt
to keep foods cold.
Nor should you ever place
things beside the ice or on top
Of the ice. Nothing should be
put in the ice chamber because
1t interfereS with proper Cir
culation Of cold air through
the entire box; the coldest place
Is directly under the ice, for
cold air falls.

Betty, l am going to talk to
you quite frankly. Your friend
has been going about with you
almost three years and has not
proposed to you. Had he been
in love he would in all prob
ability have asked to marry you
before this. If he is breaking
away from you just a bit now,
isn't that best for you?
I would let him go graceful
ly and good-humoredly if I
were you, stipulating of course,
that while he is going about
with his old friend you will
have the privilege, also, as a
matter Of course, Of accepting
any invitations you choose. But
do not make a scene or forbid
his returning to you later on.
Then as you say, see what he
will do! He may miss you more
than he thinks he will, and
rush back to you to claim you
If he can! Or he may gradu-

event, this friendly partial break
gives you, also, the chance to
look about and see whether
there are not other young men
you wish to encourage who may
be equally interesting and have
more serious intentions than
