THICKER SLICES

A THEATRE IN YOUR HOME

Drawing aside, for an instant, the
veil of secrecy that enshrouds the
vast radio laboratories at Camden,
N. j., DR.. w. r. G. Baker, vice-presi-
dent of the RCA Victor Company, al
lows for a brief glimpse at the radio
marvels of the future which scient-
lists are creating there. The day is
in sight when every new home cost
ing $4,000 will have a room some
where fitted up exclusively for rad
io-electTical entertainment, said DR..
Baker. The Home Theatre" will
become another American institu-
tion. Television and home talkies
will share room with a radio news
bulletin, and talking books, that
read themselves aloud for those who
wish to save their eyes. Just as the
"Home Theatre" will not interfere
with the public theatre, the radio
bulletin will merely supplement the
by flashing spot news
and photographs to the
home, DIR. Baker said. These are
only a few of the wonders being de-
at radio Headquarters" as
DR.. Baker terms the vast engineer
ing and manufacturing facilities CEN
tered at Camden. The laboratories
that have developed the present
day radio sets and monographs, said
DR.. Baker, will bring forth new
that may change the whole

DOGS, CATS, HOGS, AND
POULTRY HARBOR FLEAS

A scratching dog usually means
just one thing.
Fleas
Most people feel mildly sympa-
thetic for the dog, but the United
States Department of Agriculture
warns that feas are potential car
riers of bubonic plague and points
out that a flea would just as readily
bite a human as a dOg-and does.
The department tells how to control
this pest.
F'leas usually become troublesome
where there are cats, dogs, or hogs.
The fleas must have blood in order
to develop their eggs, so ridding the
host animals of the adult fleas is the
first step in control. Dogs may be
washed in a mild creosote solution.
Cats, and also dogs, may be powder
ed with pyrethrum. Hogs may be
treated by spTinkling them lightly
with crude petroleum
The flea eggs are laid on the ami
mails, but they usually drop to the
ground or floor and develop there
enough larva and cocoon stages,
finally emerging as adult fleas.
After Kidding the host animals of
the adult fleas, the next ctep is to
eliminate the fleas in various stages
of development in their breeding
places. Bedding for animals should
be changed frequently. Spray with
creosote or sprinkle gasoline on the
floor. Clean up all rubbish where
young 1eas develop.

''BIG THURSDAY" AT
BOWERS BEACH
Crowds Visit Bay Shore Resort For
Days Outing

Big Thursday was observed at
Bowers Beach on Thursday and hun
dreds visited the place during the
day. The usual number of politicians
were present to talk over the chan
ces of various candidates who have
been spoken of for different posi-
tiOns.
This gala day at Bowers is always
the second Thursday in August. The
origin of the festival grew out of
an Act of the General Assembly of
the State providing for the open
season for catching oysters in the
Delaware Bay. In the year 1852 an
Act was passed making it unlawful
for any person to catch oysters in
any creek or pond in the State be-
tween the first of May and the 10th
of August and as the first year the
open season began on the second
Thursday in August and in no year
could the second Thursday be ear
lier than the Sth the oyster gather
ers and their families made this
second Thursday the gala day,
which was the occasion for the as
sembling of merry makers before
the boats and their crews went out
for the winters work The boats
at that time did not return to port
at night but remained in the bay for
weeks at time. This farewell day
of merry making has always since
been observed and is now known as
big Thursday"

AND
SANDWICH MAKING
By Mrs. Phyllis X. Dunning

We consider sandwiches to be on
of the greatest aids to summer mea
planning so far invented. You cal
serve them for luncheon or suppe
or tea, indoors or outdoors. The!
may be made up in advance or al
the scene of festivity They may bC
substantial or incOnsequential, stur
dy or frivolous. They are, in fact
versatile, an all too rare quality il
this era of Standardization.
In making up sandwiches of any
type, there are a few general rules
to follow. The bread should be cut
in slices of uniform thickness. II
the crusts are to come off, they
should be removed before the sand
wiches are buttered and filled to
avoid waste. The butter should be
creamed until it is very soft and
easy to spread
When the sandwiches are made,
if they are not to be served at once
they may be treated in one of sever
al ways. If you are taking them on a
picnic wrap each sandwich in waXed
paper and pack them securely in
boxes or hamper If they are to be
served toasted, stack them in a bowl
or other container and cover them
closely with damp cloth. If they
are not to be served toasted, put the
container, covered with a damp
cloth of course, into the electric re-
frigeratOr. The reason you do not
store sandwiches which are to be
toasted in the refrigerator is that
they are usually buttered on the out
side and the buttered outsides con-
geal together and have to be melted
apart.
There are two ways in which to
give your sandwiches the charm of
novelty-one is by varying the
breads, the other by varying the
filings. Too often the possibilities OF
unusual breads are overlooked. Nut
bread, Boston Brown, graham, rye,
Taisin or orange breads all make
delicious sandwiches, and only the
simplest of filings are needed with
them.
Except in the case of the sweet
varieties, most people. particularly
men, consider sandwiches to he i'm
proved by tOasting. There are two |
kinds of toasted sandwiches es-one |
where the whole business, filling and |
all, is placed in an electric sandwich |
toaster emerging hot and golden
brown and all ready to serve. The
other is where the bread is first |
toasted and then the filling is put
in. The first principle of a success
full toasted sandwich of this latter
variety is to have the toast crisp
(but not too crisp hot and freshly
made. To this end we suggest cut
ting the bread about three-eighths
Of an inch thick, removing the crusts
and making the toast on an electric
toastcr right at the table. Fresh
bread is not necessary, in fact is not
even especially desirable. As fast as
the bread toasts, make the sand
wiches up from bowls of softened
butter, prepared Filings and crisp,
Try lettuce leaves.

Are Useful

viches up ahead of time and to {
oast them complete, filling and all {
elect some type of filling which is
improved by being heated. Cheese or {
hopped ham are two such filings. {
