Cranberry
 .Buttercake

No dessert heads the list of fav- orites so consistently as tender, rich- favored, butter cake. Whether it is the "one-egg'' variety or one call- ing for more eggs-the sweet de- licious butter flavor will predomin- ate.
 Add a new note of color and delicious filling to this cake by using cranberry jelly beaten or mashed thoroughly with fork Frost the cake with a butter cream frosting and decorate with whole cranberries. The tartness of the filling makes this cake a perfect after dinner dessert.
 The secret of a fine textured, ten- der cake is thorough creaming of the butter and sugar until the mix ture is light and fluffy. The flour must be added alternately with the liquid and the cake batter thor ougly blended but not over-beaten.

Lamb chops hold a place all their own in the esteem of the meal l-planner, as well as of those for whom the meals are planned. There's something about their fine flavor that makes any meal, in which they are the main dish, little bit special whether it Is &C., tually party affair or whether you are just being good to the family.
 Because they are so tasty, they seem to call for something a little out of the ordinary as an accom- : paniment. A fruit garnish, for in- stance, goes excellently with lamb chops. And the more delicately favored vegetables such as green peas and cauliflower, are suitable companions on the menu.

First Tar Is Placed

First tar has been placed on the
two-mile section of Riverside Drive

Although the contract is to be COM

the improvements will be finished in a
few days, weather permitting, and the
route reopened to traffic.

For Better Homemaking

Here are some salient points empha-
sized by Dorothy Draper, nationally
known authority on decoration and
design.
First consider color, balance, smart
accessories and comfort. Nothing adds
so much to beauty or happiness of
this world as color. In drab, colorless
surroundings we suffer a depletion of
energy. The right kind of color can
go far toward preventing the jitters.
Muddy walls are blight. Let
color know it's own mind, whether it
be pale or militant. Don't be afraid
of a color combination because you
think it too extreme. Good taste costs
no more than bad
Miss Draper insists that ceilings
should not be overlooked and should
always be done in color. Honeymoon
pink and cerulean blue are two ia
vorite ceiling colors of this decorator
Lamps, according to her scheme OF
things, are the first, foremost and
most powerful accessory. And all
lamps should be exactly the same
height from the floor.

CLINIC FINDS FOUR

losis clinic for the first time were
found to have far-advanced tubercu-
losis at Mercy Hospital, Thursday,
October 9, according to DR.. Edward
T. Heating, county physician, director
of the clinic.
Reading fifteen X-rays, DR.. ]. N.
Christensen, clinic diagnostician, also
examined sixteen other people referred
to the clinic for the first time by their
family physicians.
Of the four cases diagnosed, two
were in one family, mother and a
year-old daughter. Assisting at
the clinic were: Miss Virginia Smith,
R. NJ, urse-in-charge; Miss Ruth
Grace, R. N, of the Hamilton Public
Health League Nursing Association;

Health Association.

Glamour

Hats are on our minds as we'll as
on our heads these days. This season
we anchor them with soft scarfs of
wool or rayon jersey-a great salts
faction to know they won't be "gone
with the wind" some blustery autumn
day. And joy to wear on those spe-
cial occasions when your hair is not
just what it should be. The scarf adds
an aura of mystery as well as that
look of witchery.
The little fur do-dads worn low on
the brow and tied on with scarf
will again be most popular this year.
Match one to your fur coat and change
the scarf to match your costume.
Large fur felts crested with Persian
lamb look terribly smart and mink
tails glisten on black or brown felt
hats, looking no end lavish.
You can even bring your old felt
beret to date by adding a jersey scarf
shirred in two or three places and
tackled to the brim. Leave the ends
long and arrange in the most CLAM
orous way around your face.

You can make your nail polish last

and the besiegers, too, were on
short rations. Finally forced by
hunger, they offered to lift the
siege if Colonel Gibson would give
them barrel each Of -four and
meat.
There was no hesitation on
Colonel Gibson's part and the
speed with which he accepted the
offer probably convinced the In
dians that the hungry garrison
had an ample store. At any rate,
the Indians left as suddenly as
they had appeared.

FORT LAURENS-1778

A barrel of rancid meat and a
barrel of hardtack saved the lives
of small garrison of an Ohio
fort built during the Revolution
to prevent lightning attacks of
British and Indians from the
western wilderness on the strug-
Cling American armies.
With the completion of Fort
Laurens, Colonel John Gibson and
his $50 troops had not long to
wait to find that though stationed
in the remote forests, they were a
vital part of a bloody conflict.
The Indians and English were
enraged at this audacious thrust
into the West, which threatened
their hold on strategic Ohio.
1t was on a cold December day
that the gate of the one-acre OUT
post closed behind Is men who
were starting on the long, difficult
Journey back to the East. No soon
er had they left the shelter Of the
stockade than they were attacked

County Starts Move To
Install Flasher Signals
At Dangerous Crossings

Because of fatal accidents, one of
them Sunday in which four persons
were killed outright at Seven Mile,
north of here, Butler County commits
sioners this week authorized Pros
ecutor Paul A. Baden to request Penn

install flasher signals at certain cross

two men lay in the snow.
Then Simon Girty, white rene

Early on the morning of Febru-

following their daily routine, left
the Fort to bring in wood which
had been cut the previous fall.
There was no hint of danger un-

brush the painted warriors rushed

The short, sharp battle ended as

Women i'm Industry

Let's not discuss any particular
woman this time-let's talk about the
job facing all women, including YOU.
You are going to have many things
to do these coming months and maybe
in these coming years.
You are going to have to face higher
prices-some Of them TWICE as high
as they are now.
You are going to have to find ways
to stretch your cash to buy what is
needed, in the face of higher prices
and scarcity.
Some articles will be gone from the
market-not there any more. This will
apply to food and to articles.
It's wee sign of the times to find
a clothes-cleaning establishment of
fering 25 cents a hundred for your old
wire clothes hangers.
This job of readjusting family buy
ing to a market changed by the
worlds biggest and most devastating
war is going to be tremendous job.
You will have to buy substitutes for
many things and you will have to
figure out how to get around many
problem that never has faced you be-
fore.
You will see many strange things,
including changed wrappers on many
a fancy package, because paper prob
ably will become scarce.
YOU are going to be a part of the
war business-a big part, with many
headache before it's over. You can
ease your job just little by taking
thought now, as to what you have,
what you'll need and what your avail
able money is going to be able to allow
you to do in world that will change
almost all of its values within the
next few weeks and months.
In the last 20 years women have
nosed into almost every branch Of ma
tional government. To prove that
women are active in civic government,
in Ohio, for instance, there is an av-
erage of at least one woman on every
one of the boards of education and
boards of health. Women can bring
their communities something of what
they bring to their families, a driving
interest in the welfare of human be-
ings. The participation of women in
the total social pattern is of value to
themselves and to society.
