for more sweets. A writer in
the New York Times says:
"The two main restaurant
chains who are using the new
system are attempting in differ
ent ways to satisfy this craving.
One has hired a new battalion
of pastry cooks to devise even
more elaborate and imaginative
patisseries. The other is delving
among recipes of old-fashioned
buildings, jelly rolls and marble
cakes like mother used to make
One is deliberately stressing, the
novel and exotic, the other, iR
you will, the sentimental appeal.1
Add to Your List
Wise housewives who have fol-
lowed this survey, will no doubt
be keenly interested in adding to
the list of home desserts. While
it would obviously not be wise to
follow the "all you can eat" of
whatever food you want, in the
home where youngsters would
willingly >forego the sustaining
courses of the meal and concen-
trate on chocolate cake, it would
be we'll to have wholesome sweets
appear oftener on the dessert
menu. Perhaps the man who or
dered seven pies a la mode for
dessert is the little boy who grew
up on too much spinach and car
rots, It would be we'll, also to in
clude delicious fruit pastries
which are healthful for a second
and even a third helping. Here
are some tested recipes:

T AVE you suppressed desire

syrup and topped with pillows of
whipped cream? Is your secret
passion apple pie a la mode-the
deep dish sort of pie where
chunks of apples bulge under a
flaky crust, over which melts a
young mountain of ice cream?
Then away with suppression and
secrecy! Come out in the open,
for you are just an average nor
NAL American whose gastronomic
age is still youthful fourteen.
Recently a nationwide survey of
food likes and dislikes has been
afforded, as a consequence of the
Cali You Can Eat" for a fixed
price, a plan recently adopted by
several large restaurant chains.
And the survey proved that what
the average American from six to
sixty wants is not the sustenance
of soups or the realism of roasts,
but larger and more luxurious
desserts-and a second and third
helping of them.
More Pie, Please
A coast-to-coast chain reported
that, at the end of years expert
ment, only 10 per cent of their
customers take second helping
of the main course, while they
have had an overwhelming num-
Der of repeat orders for apple pie
a la mode, peach shortcake, choc-
olate eclairs and similar sweets.
One customer is on record as hav-
ing ordered seven pies d la mode
at the end of a six-course dinner!

NEW FOUNTAINS AT LONG,
WOOD
To Be Added Feature OF Wash.
ingtOn Bicentennial Pag-
cant In June

Those who attend the pre-
sentation of the Washington
Bicentennial pageant Build
ing a Nation" at the beautiful
Longwood, Pa, estate Of F. S.
dup ont, in June, will witness
the display of new, larger and
more wonderful electric water
fountains than those enjoyed
previously.
The pageant is to be staged
at the Longwood open-air
theatre by the Kennett Square,
Pa, American Legion, June %,
"a and %, with community
cast of $50, and the presenta-
lions will be followed each
night by the viewing Of the
new electric fountains, never
before offered at these produc-
tions.
These fountains, situated di-
rectly in front of the horticul-
tural building, on the P. S. du-
Pont estate, are much more ex-
tensive than the water garden
and stage fountains. They
cover approximately 18th
of a mile square, being CEN
tered by a miniature Niagara
Falls.
In description, the new foun7
tains consist of an upper canal
Is feet wide by 275 feetlong,
extending east and west, con-
tanning IA single jets and IA
spray jets. This canal is con-
nected to a lower canal, of the
same dimensions, by a set of
steps that lead to a circular
walkway around the largest
single lockwood in America.
The overflow water from the
upper canal runs down over
these steps and around the
large lockwood through a
smaller canal to the lower Ca
nal. There are 16 single and
16 spray jets in this lower ca
nal. Two 60-foot round ba-
sins are at the ends and each
contain four different displays,
including single and spray jets.
To the south of this lower
canal is an arched retaining
wall, above which is a large
rectangular basin 100 feet wide
by 225 feet long. There are IL
displays arranged in such a
manner so as to produce unus-
ual effects. The largest jet of
the whole display is in this
basin and sends a two-inch
stream of water 1876 feet into
the air. This one jet alone re-
quires more than 1000 gallons
of water per minute.
Each jet and spray is illumi-
mated by a circle of lights COM
prised of five colors: Red,
blue, green, amber and white.
The blending of these colors
while the water display is in
operation accentuates the true
loneliness of this veritable

CUT WORMS ACTIVE

An unusually large amount
OF damage to gardens and
crops of the State by cut worms
is reported by DIR. e. N. Cory.
specialist in entomology for
the Extension Service. These
worms, which are particularly
destructive to vegetable and
flower gardens, also cause con-
siderable injury to tobacco,
pepper and tomato plants.
Weedy fields are especially La
BILE to harbor cut worms which
have lived there over the win
ter and anyone who has set
plants in field where a heavy
growth of weeds has been
plowed' down are warned to
keep on the lookout for the
worms.
In regard to control meas
ures, DIR. Cory says: poison
bran mash, if placed around
the plants just about sunset
will attract and kill the worms
that feed upon it. Poison bran
mash is made by mixing two
pounds of Paris green with
fifty pounds of bran. After
this is mixed thoroughly, it
should be wet with one gallon
of molasses added to six gall
Ions of water. This should be
worked into the bran thorough
ly and, when completed, it
should be crumbly, but not
sloppy. For small amounts,
use six pounds of bran, one
quarter pound of Paris green,
one pint of molasses and three
quarts of water.
Care should be exercised in
mixing, storing and using the
material as it is poisonous to
all animals and man. 1t should
not be used in fields where
chickens or other poultry are
allowed to roam"

 They say that lightning never strikes twice in the same place but MT. Gamble thinks so. Last Saturday night as he was out visiting some friends he was told that his house was on fire. With ali sorts of aid the fire was eas!- ly put out as it was seen by some paSsers-by before it did much damage. Only one room of the house was badly charred and a couple of windows broken MT. Gamble can't figure out the cause yet. His home had been burned completely to the ground two years ago-and so the theo- ry that lightning strikes twice in the same place.
