Break the Chain
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
s*s.....s.s !. !.

YOU'LL hear lot, as like as not.
From women and from men
Who hear a tale and seldom fail
To tell the tale again.
But when they come to me with some
New scandal they obtain,
| let it rest, l try my best
At least to break the chain.
They just drop in with some ones sin.
secret to disclose.
They tell with winks what some one
thinks
And not what some one knows.
They say. "My word! You haven't
heard
OF that? | wonder why?"
Then if they vow you can't tell how
You heard it, it's lie.
Folks do not fear the truth to hear,
To tell the truth as we'll;
It's only when they doubt it, then
They fear a tale TO tell.
They make you swear you'll never
share
The secret told to you.
When that they say, then here's the
way
To fool them-never do.

Studying the lightning on a Mountain Top

ZIP ON the summit of the famous
~ Mount Generoso in Switzerland
scientists of Germany have just COM
pleted a research laboratory for the ex-
elusive study of lightning and its eff
fects on atoms. The work of install
lation has taken four years Mount
Generoso, veritable center of at
mospheric disturbances, is considered
the best region in the world for the
investigations to be carried on there.
The conditions are ideal.
Besides the study mentioned, the
scientists, with the huge apparatus they
have placed on the mountain, part Of
which is shown in the illustration,
will take part in the general effort
to obtain higher voltage for super X
ray tubes. They hope to obtain as
much as 16,000000 volts. The re-
suits of their work will be watched
with interest by electrical experts and
physicists all over the world.

Old Gardener

DERHAPS it is difficult to realize
that August is a good month for
planting evergreens, but repeated
tests have shown that evergreens
thrive particularly well when moved
that month, especially when there is
an abundance of rain, or if water can
be applied artificaily in generous guam
titles. 1t is of the utmost Importance
that the roots be kept covered with
soil; a good nursery will never send
out evergreens unless there is a ball
Of earth wrapped in burlap around the
roots. This burlap must be kept in
place until the roots go into the
ground: 1t is because the roots cannot
be properly protected that evergreens
transplanted from the woods seldom
live.

"a GREAT variety Of cakes can be
"A made from ordinary cake and
cookery mixtures and from common
cake and crackers combined with fruit
paste or other simple filling. Any kind
of dried or candfed fruit can be used
to make a paste. A good combination
is one of raisins, figs, conserved cherries
and choice prunes mixed in equal parts,
chopped in a food chopper and moist
ened and favored with a little orange
Juice. If packed away in jars the NIX
ture will remain fresh and soft Tor
some time.
Another good paste requires two
thirds of cupful Of graduated sugar,
two taeaspoonfuls of cocoa, one level
tablespoonful of butter and two table,
spoonfuls of cornStarch. Stir the in
gradients together and let boil for 10
minutes. If this paste Is preserved
carefully it will retain its firm, jelly
like consistency. If you wish, the
cocoa may be left out when cooking
and nut meats, cocoanut and fruits
may be added after the filling has been
removed from the fire.

THE avocado was a native of Mexico
4 and South America. But 1t Is
now raised in most Of the Southern
States. and, as the luscious fruit Is well
protected by q tough hbrous cover, the
problem of transporting 1t IN good con-
dition is not a dificult one.
We are apt to think Of the avocado
as being, like the nuskmelon, hollow on
the inside. But the fact is, as you
know, If you have ever opened one, that
there is single large seed at the inside
that fits the center perfectly. The but
terry flesh that wraps the nut Is, OF
course, the part that we prize as food.
Authorities tell Us that the avocado
Is a valuable food, for it contains o
large proportion Of wholesome ana
easily digested fat-probably more fat
than any other fruit that we have. !.
At present, avocadoS may be had at
practically every time Of the year. And,
Of course, the best time to take adj
vantage of them Is at time when
our own native fruits are not in season.
When you buy an avocado, select one
that is firm and smooth on the outside.
There are different sorts Of the fruit,
but good rule is to buy the sort that
seems freshest.
Keep the fruit in the ice box for a
little while, or in place where 1t VIII
become chilled without freezing. Then
cut 1t in halves and remove the seed.
Some persons serve an avocado cut In
halves, half to each person, but Q
quarter or eighth is enough when it
is served as a salad.
Sometimes it is nice to cut the fruit
into cubes and place four or five Of
these cubes on bed of lettuce for each
person. II you serve the fruit in large
sections, 1t is -.9-good plan to make
grooves along the surface with silver
knife. This makes it possible, for what
ever dressing you use to penetrate.
A good French dressing serves the
purpose, but as the fruit Is rich and
oily, the dressing should have q larger
proportion of acid and less of oil than
when it Is to be served with tart or
acid salad. The connoisSeur never puts
mayonnaise on the avocado. Some peo-
pie like to add salt, pepper and vinegar,
while others prefer lime or lemon Juice.
Some people like lemon juice or vinegar
with Q little sugar.

It Is quite possible to make elaborate
and very good salads with the avocado.
Try both the simple ways of serving this
fruit as salad and the more elaborate
ways and see which you like best.
One OF the elaborate ways is to mix
the cut-up pulp Of three tomatoes and
half q shredded green pepper. Press
all together in q piece of cheesecloth
to remove the superhuous liquid, and

each marshmallow. Nuts may be scat
tered over plain waters, or they may
be iced and decorated with tiny candies
Chopped candied cherries may be used
on the icing.
A kiss" is tiny cake made of stiff
egg whites and sugar, seasoned with
salt and f1avoring. A macaroon is less
sweet, made of stiff egg whites, sugar
and almond paste. Other materials
may be added to the kiss and the
name macaroon is given to other small
cakes of similar consistency. It Is not
always easy to distinguish between the
two, but the kiss is always sweeter
and more frothy in texture. Either
mixture needs q slow oven because Of
the large proportion Of egg white used.
Almond Macaroon Cakes.-Cream
half q cupful Of butter with half o cup
full of graduated sugar and one egg un-
til very light. Add one-fourth cupful Of
grated or chopped almonds and two
cupfuls Of sifted pastry -four. Put the
dough on a well Toured board and
knead it little, using only enough
-four to keep the dough from sticking.
Roll rather thin, then cut with q small
round cutter. Place on q cooky sheet
covered with wax paper and prepare q
frosting as follows: Beat one egg, with
out separating, with one cupfW OF
granulated sugar for 10 minutes. Add
one tablespoonful of lemon. juice and
one cupful of grated sweet almonds and
four grated bitter almonds, and beat
well. Place a small mound Of this mix
ture on top Of each cake. Bake In q
moderate oven until the dough is nice
" baked and the frosting is crinkly and
done throughout. For variety place
small bits Of candied cherry, citron or
angelica in the center Of the maearoon
frosting.

Cakes, Cookies, Waters
Combinations of Materials Which Produce Fine
Resuts-Treatments Which Harnonize In
gradients Suggested Special Recipes.

A quick and successful way to make
a layer cake of any kind is to pour the
batter into a large bread pan to bake.
When done cut in three or four pieces,
whichever you desire, and spread the
filling between the pieces just as you
would between layers cooked one or two
at a time. The edges are rough end
the filling sticks much better and the
cake Is made in much shorter time
than it usually requires. The mother
with a number Of children will appre-
ciate this labor-saving suggestion.
When filling a cake pan 1t is well to
remember that the center of the cake
is the part which will usually be the
highest, so spread the batter as much
to the sides as possible, leaving a de-
preston in the center then the cake
when baked will be level. To give a
cake time to rise before the baking be-
gins place it in rather q slow oven at
first and gradually increase the heat.
A sponge cake may be made with
fewer eggs than q recipe calls for. For
instance, instead of six eggs called for
in a recipe, you may use four eggs 1t
cold water and half teaspoonful Of
baking powder for each egg. For
sponge cakes it is not necessary to
grease the pans. They should be baked
in moderate oven.

Avocado May Be Served
Deliciously in Many Ways

then dress literally with French
dressing
Another way is to mix diced avocado
with chopped, hard-boiled egg and
mayonnaise dressing. This makes q
very rich salad.
Avocado sandwiches, too, are good.
For these mash the pulp of the avocado
to Q paste. It makes an oily paste, Of
course, and may be seasoned In o
variety Of ways. One Is to mix little
olive oil, nutmeg and salt with it, and
another is to mix mashed, hard-boiled
egg pulp with it. Mayonnaise may also
be used as the fiavoring for the avocado
sandwich paste.
As an hors d'oeuvre avocados may
be served in several ways, Sometimes
they are halved, melon fashion, and
served with orange Juice or with French
dressing as an appetizer; sometimes
the pulp Is removed and diced and
served with a dressing Of orange Juice
or oil and vinegar or one Of the other
ingredients that combine well with
them in little glasses, chilled, for an
appetizer.
