BARNETT GIVES
ANOTHER TALK
LARGE NUMBER ASSEMBLED
AT FIRST METHODIST
CHURCH LAST NIGHT

Another large audience, COM
posed of representatives of the
three cooperating Methodist
Churches of the city, together
with members of other denomina-
tons, assembled in First Metho-
dist (Stone) Church last evening
to hear an address by Fred T.
Barnett on "Wlho Owns Florida?"
The speaker declared that if an
abstract of title could be made of
Florida, and the title traced far
enough back through the claims
of the English, the Spanish and
the Seminole Indians, it would be
found that the title to Florida
vests in Almighty God.
Using the farm as an illustra.
ton, it was shown that God ftirn-
ishes the soil, the sunshine, the
rains, the seasons, the gift of life
to growing plants and trees, and
that man furnishes only about
five percent of what is invested
in the production of a crop. Only
as Americans come to recognize
Gods ownership of their lives and
possessions shall we be able to
save our nation from that sordid
materialism into which we are
rapidly drifting, he stated.
The speaker suggested that
every Christian ought to ac-
knowledge Gods ownership of
his life and possessions by setting
aside one-tenth of his income as
an act of worship to God, to be
used in the extension of the King
dom of God throughout the world.
The service tonight at Stone
church will begin promptly at
7:45 O'Clock, and large audience
is expected to again be present.
The stewardship revival will con-
tinue through Friday evening of
the present week.

over Honey with her glass, she
looked at him, critically, for the
first time. Sleek, dark hair and
eyes, and a thin line of moustache
on his upper lip. !. A deep chest
and broad shoulders, covered by
an almost too-well-tailored blue
suit. Custom made shoes. Nina
thought she had never seen any,

looked more as though he would
know the right thing to do in any
conceivable Situation. And then
she smiled, because he had said
the right thing after all. He had
put on little show for Honey,
just as she, Nina, had been doing.
''Nervousl Isn't he ridiculous,
Nina? How could you help adoring
him?"

And Honey beamed.
"Well, don't be too sure of me,
young fella!" said Nina. I'm only

blue mark on Honey Pit! you

her brandy. Here's to the bride"
Her glass tinkled in the open
fireplace, and a second after, Rich

young, that it was absurd to have
her for mother.

Shes right, sweetheart" said
Richard. you've had big day"
and he took his wife's two little
white hands and pulled her up off
the low couch. Honey never
could get up alone.
Nina kissed her mother and
whispered a God bless you," as
her father used to do, and as she
had done ever since he died; and
then she felt her hand in Richards
tirm clasp, for q minute.
Goodnight my dears." and
she ran out and down the stairs
partly because she had to put out
the lights on the first floor, but
mostly because she couldn't bear
to see her mother and Richard go
down the hall and into the big
double room that Honey had
shared with daddy.
But when she had touched all
the switches. and bolted the front
door. she had 10 come up again.
Her own room was on the third
floor: and as she passed her
mothers. she heard Honey saying:
do you, Richard?" and then his
low laugh.
Ten minutes later Nina lay in
her own bed.
She had the large front room
over the library. Two windows
faced north on 74th street; the
hangings were OF heavy satin. At
one window they were all draped
over TO the left side and caught up
rather high; az the other, they
were swirled TO the right. One was

Today's influences make for a

But when the three of them were
settled in row, with Nina in the
middle. on Honey's sinky, pillow
strewn couch, II appeared that
there was very little data to give

Hn6 o. Hosiery Economy

A N authority on the subject
~ recently made the depress-
ing statement that fifteen wear
ings was all that could be ex-
pected from a pair of chiffon
stockings. And that was said with
the provision that they have nor
mally good care during those fif-
teen wearings.
The fragility of chiffon hose is
a sore point with nearly every
feminine wearer, for the world is
just full of hazards where hosiery
is concerned. Snags, runs, too
tight garters, chatting heels-it's
a lucky pair that eludes these
dangers and lives out its life to
expire naturally of a sudden crop
of holes or a long, fatal run.
There are some facts that
should be known if one is to make
a wise selection of hosiery. If GER
tain weights and types of hose
are purchased to wear for speci-
fed times ones money will be in
vested more wisely than if one

young guests went home hungry!
One can concentrate much of
the effort of preparing for a chill
dren's party on the refreshments,
for the guests, well endowed with
the natural effervescence of youth,
can be relied on to furnish most
of the entertainment themselves,
particularly if they are well ac-
quainted with one another and
have not yet reached the self
conscious teen age.
However, Just in case the for
mality of the occasion induces a
slight stiffness of manner among
the young guests and the boys
and girls form separate groups
and eye one another as though
they were complete strangers, it
is wise to have few entertaining
ideas up your sleeve The tried
and true children's games that
have kept them entertained at
parties since Mother was a little
girl can always be relied upon,
with perhaps a few new games to
add spice to the occasion.
AT birthday parties, the cake is
the central theme of the refresh
ments and its traditional accom-
paniment is ice cream. The home
made variety is best, and it is no
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-30

suffers a sudden weakening CT
will and buys lovely, frail hose
for all occasions.
Stockings should be bought by
thread count. This ranges from
one thread, to be worn only for
the grandest occasions, to seven
thread which is a good sturdy
hose which will withstand the or
binary perils of life.
One-thread hose is sheer, out
right extravaganza because they
are so delicate that they may
spring a run before you ever get
to the grand affair you donned
them for. Two-thread hose is
much more practical and in ap-
pearance almost as sheer as one
thread. They are not destined for
a very long life, however, and
should be worn only for evening
or especially formal daytime
wear.
Three-thread hose is, as you've
probably already figured out, a
bit heavier than those mentioned
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-30

before and can be worn for both
daytime and evening is, if
you're not contemplating doing
anything too strenuous. They are
considerably less expensive, but
they are sheer enough to look eX-
pensive and to be subtly flatter-
ing to the legs of the wearer.
Four-thread hose is really the
best bet of all, for it is pretty re-
liable and yet dainty enough to
look attractive. This hose is rec
commended for general daytime
wear. These won't look SO attrac-
tive with open evening sandals as
the more fragile ones do, but
you'll have a Lot more chance of
arriving back home with your
hosiery intact.
That concludes the chiffon hos
iery lesson. 1t is wise to specify
just what thread hose you wish
when you are making a purchase
then you'll know what you are
getting.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-30

standard. BY that is meant, that
if you open a jar of pickles today
bearing the label of this famous
firm, you must find the contents
identical in every respect to a jar
you purchased, let us say three
years ago. Think of growing
pickles of unvarying size, of hav-
ing small pieces of pimiento for
a dash of color, always of the
same proportions and placed in
the same position in every jar,
year after year. That's what
maintaining uniformity of
standard means.
A book could be written about
the many methods of production
going on at the same time within
those 81 acres of orderly food
preparation. But by far the most
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-30

interesting activity I observed
was in connection with the pastes
that are used for noodle soup,
Italian spaghetti and macaroni
and cheese. The entire second
floor of a building Of vast pro-
portions is given over to the
dough makers and the machines
that produce all these pastes
exactly in accordance with speci-
fications.
The spotless environment, not
alone of these quarters, but every
nook and Granny of the huge
plant is most impressive. Diligent
housekeepers are put to shame by
the newly scrubbed appearance
of miles of corridors, acres of
factory flooring, and the polished
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-30

are placed on a moving belt,
which takes them up to the large
metal circle that is a part of the
automatic filler. There they fall
into position and as they revolve,
chute, connected with the floor
above where the beans are baked,
releases just the right amount of
beans to fill one can at a time,
then a small hose with a metal
nozzle, squirts out the sauce in
individual quantities and finally
piece of pork is dropped into
position.
Inquiry elected the fact that it
had happened, but so long ago
that no one remembered when,
the pork placing m h inc
had become overly generous and
deposited two pieces instead of
one, but of course such an act
would never be discovered by
customer as all cans receive in
spection as they slide onto a scale
after being completely filed Such
precision is almost unbelievable,
yet it is just such attention to
little things that makes great
food products.
A great factory of this char
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-30
appearance

appearance
of every one
of the countless windows. Even
the air breathed has been purified,
and the rooms devoted to drying
the various pastes, once they have
been nodded or cut into shape, are
triple screened and then only fit
cred and purified air is allowed to
be gently produced in a forced
draft.
Macaroni, mile after mile of it,
is made by forcing light,
creamy paste through a huge
metal cylinder that is operated
by compressed air. The base of
the object is fitted with brass
plate containing holes of requisite
dimensions, Slowly the paste is
forced through the holes by the
heavy plunger at the top being
forced down on the dough. Long
strings, very fine solid ones for
spaghetti, and larger, hollow
tubes for macaroni come stream
ing out of the bottom.
A woman, wearing the whitest
of white, even to an old fashioned
mob cap that completely covers
her hair cuts off the strands Of
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-30

$ paste when they
reach a given length.
Quickly she transfers the slippery
mass to driers, where another at
tendant arranges the pieces for
quick drying. With as little delay
as possible the newly-made maca-
roni or spaghetti is wheeled
away to the drying room.
But noodle making is even
more spectacular. In this process
the paste reaches the machine cut
and rolled for all the world like
paper, The roll is fitted to the
top of the machine, the wheels
and knives start and as if by
magic the fiat wide band of paste
is fed into the machine, to emerge
at the bottom in row after row
of cut and folded noodles. Trays
are provided for the fine cuttings
and as each receptacle is filled it
is quickly removed to the drying
room.
In another building I watched
hundreds of cans revolve into
place, receive identical amount of
baked beans, tomato sauce and
one lone piece of pork. The cans
achieve this seeming magic by
simple mechanical process. They
