Fire Destroys Old
Mt. Lake Auditorium
Assembly Hall Is Saved After
TwO-HOur Fight By Local
Firemen

Fire destroyed the auditorium
section of the Assembly Hall at
Mountain Lake Park last Thurs
day afternoon despite a fire
mems fight which lasted more
than two hours.
The building is known as the Old
Auditorium and was the first public
building erected by the original own
ers of the Park, the Mountain Lake
Park Association, in the year 1882. 1t
has been a landmark on top of the
Alleghenies for nearly sixty years,
and the early Mountain Chautauqua
sessions were held in the open struc-
ture prior to the erection of the large
Amphitheatre.
The Oakland Fire Department re-
sponded Immediately after the call
had been telephoned to the depart
ment headquarters, but due to the in
adequate water supply in the Park
water mains, little could be done to

Assembly building in connection with
the Auditorium was little damaged
Three boys were questioned after
it was said by persons living nearby
that some youths were in the building
| just before the fire was observed when
a canvas curtain skirting the building
was ignited.
The Tabernacle was purchased re-
Gently by local group interested in
the Holiness Tabernacle in Oakland,
and camp meeting had been in prog
ress in the structure which was sched-
uled to close on August 81.
A piano, seating and other furni-
ture in the building were carried out
and thus saved from the fire or dam
age from water. The loss was covered
by insurance and it has been an
nounced that rebuilding operations
upon modern plan will begin within
the near future.
Ten Pillars of Pioneers
1t was estimated that the insurance
covering the building would lack about
$1,000 in providing for it's complete
restoration and last Sunday way was
devised in which that amount might be
amount might be raised.
Jared W. Yuong leanred that there
were ten stout oak pillars of the orig
inal structure still standing, and h
has proposed that these be Incorporate
ed in the new Tabernacle and be called
by some such name as the Pillars of
the Pioneers; that interests in each be
sold in tenths, or multiples, to those
whose forebears, or who themselves
had active part in the long history OF
the association, chautauqua, commun-
ity, camp meeting or park, and that
for each such tenth the name of q
pinoeer appear on a suitable plaque or
that particular pillar.
Mr.. Young believes there are a num-
Der of families who would properly be
in line for whole pillar, or others who
would sponsor the names of some OF
the long ago pioneers that have nc
local Oakland or Park family left tc
speak for them.
He suggests a selling price of $11
per tenth, the extra dollar to go fol
the cost of the plaque. The pillars thus
sold would net 81 900. Mention of it tc

The first act centers around the

Monogrammed wedding gifts are
lovely and all that. But a girl
doesn't particularly like them if
the monograms are all wrong.
One girl tells me that the Old
English a." of her future husbands
name was printed on the invitation
in such a way that it looked like a
81" And the result was that one
friend who had never met her man
before, nor apparently ever heard
of him, sent her a whole dozen
towels marked IN. j." which were
initials that had nothing to do with
any one. 1t made her new bathroom
look as though she had been out
shop-lifting to furnish it.
I would advise those who don't
know the couple well enough to
know their names to steer away
from monogrammed gifts.
Then, of course, there is that
old question of whether the
initials should be the girls maiden
initials or her married ones. Usage
has it that they should be her

If write, often and leng, about
the in-law problem, it is because I
know from the constant stream Of
tear -sodden letters from heart
broken mothers-in-law and miser-
able daughters-in-law that flow
across my desk that it is one of the
main causes Of unhappiness in the
world. And if I invariably urge
mothers-in-law and daughters-in-
law never to try the hazardous ex-
pertinent of living together, if it is
humanity possible to avoid doing so,
1t is because neither religion, nor
philosophy, nor expediency seem to
enable them to dwell together in
peace and harmony. The lion and
the lamb may lie down together, but
not mothers and sons wives.
This is a pity, because they lose
so much out of a relationship that
has in it so much of happiness and
profit for them both, if only they
can take 1t in their stride. The
mother who welcomes her sons wife
with a kiss instead of a chip on
her shoulder gains daughter who
Is often more considerate of her
than her own girls are.
The mother who uses every effort
to make friend of her daughter
1n-law never loses her son, as she
surely does if she makes an enemy
of her. The mother who keeps her
fingers out Of her daughter in laws
pies is always an honored guest in
her sons house and is not infre-
quently asked for her recipe for pies.
And the daughter-in-law has Just
as much to gain as mother -in-law
from their striking out the in-law
clause and being real mother and
daughter. In the first place, there
Is no other one thing that wife can
do that will so endear her to her
husband as for her to get along with
his mother.
He loves both of them and it tears
his very soul to tatters for them to
fight over him and for him to be
called upon to decide between them.
Then a mother-in-law can be a
Wife's best ally in any argument
with her husband.
John may not think that Mamie
needs a new hat, or to be taken out
to dance SO often, but if mother
backs Mamie up he gives in to the
authority he has respected all of his
life. And if mother-in-law loves
daughter-in-law as she does her own
daughters, she can look like a min
1stering angel instead of an enemy
in times of trouble.
Both mothers-in-law and daugh-
ters-in-law miss their best bet when
they do not cultivate each other.

Extra pounds show no considera-
ton in choosing the spots in which
they land.
Most every woman would be glad
to fill out a little in some part of
the anatomy. Perhaps she wishes
to fill out her neckline, or maybe
her face is too thin or her bust
needs developing. Do the pounds
ever land in any of these spots?
They do not! They rush for the
hips and tummy and stay there
until we shake them loose with
special exercise.
However, you can roll your trou-
bles away. If you have too many
inches on the hips try this: Lie on
the floor. Bend both knees up close
to your tummy. Hold on to the
knees with the hands. While in
this position roll over on the right
side of the hips. Now roll over on
the left side. Continue rolling from
side to side.

dered if you would tell me what
Washingtonians do to keep houses
cool in summer. do not intend to
install a cooling system as I shall
be in this house only until fall.
D.. E.
Answer-The best method is to
keep your house closed during the
day as much as possible and open
it at night. A fan or two to make
a flow of air will help. This will
keep the first floor cooler than it is
outside at least. Using awnings and
turning the hose on porches, lawns
and even on the porch roofs are all
of benefit, but without an air COOL
ing system the only thing is to keep
as much of the hot air out as pos
sible.

with butter in which a little water
has been added to achieve that crisp,
shiny brown crust so beloved by
corned beef hash devotees.
So, even if the corner delicates-
sen and the nearest grocery store
have closed for the holiday, investi-
gate the contents of your pantry
shelves and see if you can't find sew
eral items that will be suitable for
an alfresco supper right at home.
Here are two recipes for you-in
case you'd like to try them over the
week end:
CASSEROLE OF PORK AND
BEANS AND SPICED HAM.
2 cans Q6 oz.) pork and beans

spiced ham in thin slices and ar
range half of it on top of the beans.
Combine the sugar and ground
cloves and sprinkle half of it over
the ham. Make the second layer
Just like the first and dot on top
with the butter. Bake in moder-
ately hot oven (375 degrees F. for
As minutes to l hour. Serves 6-8.
CHEESE TOMATO SANDWICH.
2s cupful condensed tomato soup

The way we figure it, white suite
are still the best bet for summer
weddings, whether you're an active
participant or merely an interested
spectator of the passing show.
OF course, you can choose the dark
blue coat and white flannels, If you
really insist, but somehow the all
white looks better and dressier, at
least to us.
Remember that the white suit is
right for summer weddings in the
evening And the dinner jacket is
all wrong for members of the we'd
ding party. You never wear dinner
clothes to a wedding-too informal
for the participants. It's o. K. for
attending an evening wedding and
reception, though, if you're merely a

moderns claim that the married

and barge right into them. But

such a good idea because what if

have to explain to every one about

Lie on your back. Bend your
