They called the actors to the re- cording room, projected the scene on screen without sound. had them read their lines into a micro phone to synchronize with their screened lip movements. Afterward. on another sound track, they took from the sound library-nearly B. 100000 feet of assorted noises-a recording of more gentle rainfall and superimposed this on the dia- logue. Then they played back the result with other sound tracks con- taining desired sound effects, and recorded the composite on one final sound track.

 Stuart Erwin brought that fact to mind. telling of a recent days work in Checkers" It was on the same stage where Stu made his first film in the squawkie era of the talkies. This time they didn't bother about sound-proofing, didn't bother when extraneous noises crept in during a scene But then-there was awe, mystery, confusion about this thing called sound.

Electric Mixing

Many homemakers have diff
Guilty in making good cakes with
their electric mixer. Here are. a
few conclusions which have been
drawn by a well-known testing
kitchen after much experiments
ton and study:
The chief point to keep in mind
when using an electric mixer is
that it is very easy to overhead
the cake batter. This makes the
cake too solid in texture, and what
we want Is q beautifully fluffy,
light as snowflakes, and deliciously
tender cake.
When we mix a cake by hand, we
cream the shortening and then work
in the sugar very gradually. This
is done more easily and quickly with
an electric beaten. Just take care
to turn the bowl and scrape the
sugar and fat down from the sides
Of the bowl, so that all the mixture
will be creamed. Have the short
ening at room temperature. Cream
at low speed. Add sugar gradually,
using medium speed. When mix
ture is smooth and light, add the
whole eggs one at q time, If whole
eggs are called for in the recipe. If
eggs are separated, yolks may be
added with the sugar.
Have all the ingredients ready be-
fore you start mixing so that the
mixer will not be turning unneces-
sarily while they are being assembl-
ed. The flour, baking powder and
salt may be poured from q paper
into the bowl at one side, while the
liquid is poured from the other.
Have mixer on slow or medium
speed so the ingredients will not be
spatered out of the bowl. Mix only
long enough to blend the batter. II
beaten whites are used, they should
be folded in by hand.
Any kitchen tested recipe for
cake may be used successfully In an
electric mixer, although when maxi
ing Angel Food, it is best to do part
Of the process by hand. The rec
commended method is to beat the egg
whites and add part Of the sugar
with the mixer, andd then fold In
the flour and the rest Of the sugar
which have been sifted, together by
hand, because it produces SO much
better volume than beating In the
flour. The same method applies to
sponge cakes.

syphilis will tax our ingenuity the

snake in the grass" It turks in
the most unsupported places of
the body, often giving no sign Of its
presence. It can be transferred from
father or mother to the child, and
so continue down the line through
generations. It is one of the lead
ing causes of death in early infancy
and also accounts for untold misery
and suffering and premature death
during adulthood.
Reporting and isolation of cases

Importance of early and continued
