Invisible Specs
Are Latest Fad

LONDON, Sept. /. (UP)-
The person who has had eye
sight, but hates wearing frame,
or pincenez glasses now may
have invisible spectacles made
for each eye.
This entirely new departure in
optical wear is now on the mar
ket here. Each eyepiece is a
tiny shell-like slip of glass,
slightly larger than dime, fit
ting directly on top of the cor
nea of the eye, under the lid,
and adhering to it by suction.
Contact glasses" is the name
of the new invention. They
positively cannot be seen even
at the closets range.
The average eyepieces costs
about $25 each, but prices vary
according to the lens required.
1t is impossible, however, to just
walk in to the opticians and buy
a pair right away. They are
supplied only to the prescrip-
ton of an ophthalmic surgeon.
The adoption of these contact
glasses would be quite delicate
business at first. Each eyepiece
is gripped by the suction of a
little rubber bulb which comes
away when pinced. leaving the
eye covered with the thin trans
parent scrap of glass which can"
The glass is withdrawn in sec
ond by means of the rubber
bulb. 1t is claimed that after a
little practice a wearer would be
able to slip the glasses in and
out easily.

Come to the Hall of Social Sciences and look
upon another type of history, social history, the
history of an American family. 1t is revolving
stage. First the Colonial family appears. The
women are spinning, weaving, drying fruits and
meats, while the children play at the work of
their elders. Through the door the father is
seen with his plow
A screen descends and the family appears
in house which is part of a village, a self
sustaining community, with church, school and
q courthouse. Out of the village leads a Doggy
road over which horseman struggles with
stagecoach.
The stage revolves to show the family of
1933-city jewellers in an apartment house, with

Fundamentals With Tested
and Easily Followed
Formulas.

Here are some more questions
about cakes (says a recognized ex-
pert on the subject). Here is the
letter and here are my answers. which
may interest some of you in spite of
the fact that | have told you now
and again much about cake:
II make chocolate roll frequently
the kind with nothing but eggs,
chocolate and sugar-but 1t always
sticks to the pan and | have to scoop
It out-rolling is out of the question.
What should the pan be creased with.
and does anyone ever get it out
whole?
81 want to make gingerbread but |
want to make the kind that is little
moist and quite fiaky-not either dry
hard or soggy. Have you a good
recipe?
"One more thing: cannot learn
to make good butter cake-I stick to
angel, sponge and the like. Cream
ing butter bores and tires me and
don't know just how long TO keep it
up. Someone told me once just when
butter and sugar are creamed but l
forgot.
'This Is primer stuff for most
cooks, know, but do want to make
some really delicious little dough but
tons"
I find that the kind of pan has
much to do with the success of thin
layer such as we use for a chocolate
or jelly-roll. If you have smooth
ight-colored tin pan. 10 by 10 inches,
which is kept especially for this pur-
pose. you may not find it necessary
to line it with paper. but if your pan
is not in good condition. or of dark
tin, you will do well to use creased
paper to line it. If you are using a
new pan, it must be lined or else
tempered" by greasing slightly and
heating before it is used hotter
oven than is used for other sponge
cake is necessary. If you use a
double-action baking powder instead
of phosphate or tartrate powder,
you should use about one-third less
than is demanded by the usual recipe.
l will answer the third question
next, because this thing about baking
powders applies to all butter cakes.
The only thing / can do is to give my
standard recipe for butter cake,
which never fails me. Measurements
must of course be made carefully.
Butter must be creamed we'll. If it
is to be used, it will soften at room
temperature and viii cream quite
easily.
Cookies may be beaten one or two
minutes after mixing, but not too
long. l do not think it makes much
difference whether the batter is beat
en- or stirred, if, when either milk or
flour is added, alternately, each one
is thoroughly mixed before more of
the other is added.
From the description of the crusts
on her cakes, which the troubled cook
gives, I should say that her oven was
probably too hot. like 375 degrees
Fahrenheit best for layer cake and
cup cakes.
Now about gingerbread. There are
so many different standards for this
cake. l am only giving you my IA
vorite recipes for it and will say that
I think they are wonderful! One is a
"cake" gingerbread which can be
served hot jas is, or with butter, or
whipped cream, or cream or cottage
cheese for satisfying dessert. The

HELPS CANCER VICTIMS

A new weapon is now being used
in the fight against cancer-cobra
venom. Since 1880, 115 patients, suf
fering from the disease in an adj
vanced stage at which operations
were useless, have been treated by
means of injections of the venom.
In some cases the development of the
cancer was completely stopped, thus
stabilizing the disease and prolong-
ing the patients life. Even where
the progress of the disease still con-
tinued, it did so at slower rate, and

DIXON FLATTENED
 BY JOSE SANTA IN BOSTON BOUT
Huge 244-POund Man Mountain Almost StOp- ped in First Round

Boston, March 3.-UP)-Jose Santa, elongated Portuguese heavy weight, made short work of Young Johnny Dixon of Norwood, former Boston college football star. scor- ing a technical knockout in the third-round of scheduled six rounder at Boston Garden last night.
 Dixon's seconds threw a towel into the ring while Dixon was be- ing counted for the second time in thethird round. He had gone down once before from a long, ponderous right hand blow to the jaw, but managed to reach his feet at the coun tof nine. He was ob- viously in distress, and Jose sent him down again. The towel flut- tered into the ring when the referee had reached the count of nine.
 Almost a K. O.
 Dixon. who weighed 205 pounds against his opponents 244, made a valiant effort to knockout his huge and more experienced opponent in the first round. He battered the Portuguese with a two-fisted at tack, alternating between the body and head with solid blows, and for a time it appeared he might suc- ceed in bringing Santa down.
 But after taking the first round, Dixon faded and in the second it was apparent that Santa would win, barring a lucky punch.
